Chapter 5: Peak Of The Body Forging Realm!
Leinad gathered his strength and arrived before his predecessor's mother on the floor to help her, first he gently put a pillow under her head then he held her burning hot hands to examine her condition.
Leinad unknowingly had the bearing of an expert as he was engrossed in the checking her vitals, it took a while but he managed to activate his skill
After a while, his face grew solemn at the results.
Her condition was severe, and the poison had managed to spread way too fast! her meridians, veins, and internal organs were all infected now.
"Isn't her condition a bit exaggerated, how could she deteriorate this quickly.", Leinad was puzzled, although he expected her condition to be bad he never expected it to be that severe after all she was a cultivator, and even though she was a weak one she should still be able to seal the poison for weeks at least, but with the look of things she only one day left.
"It's likely because of me, she must have used all her spiritual energy to run around in search of an antidote for me", leinad tapped his head helplessly in realization. Didn't she care about her life at all?.
Although his heart was slightly moved by her willingness to risk anything to save him, he couldn't accept it after all the real Leonard was dead.
"Since I'm here you can forget about dying, first I'll use acupuncture to seal off the poison from further spreading for now.", leinad said as he opened a box by the side and brought out twelve needles, then he sterilized them.
He began the treatment, he flicked his fingers and plaierced needles into the twelve meridians on each side of her body.
His movements were precise and clean, this technique was something he had learned from a prominent physician in his previous life called: twelve celestial needles.
Boy was the method effective because in no time:
Cough cough
Suddenly leinad mother began to cough rigorously until she vomited out a mouth full of blood, her weakened aura stabilized considerably giving leinad space to take a breath.
"Hang in there.", Leinad didn't stop moving , he quickly took the leaves in her hands and dashed to the kitchen, he no time he boiled the medicinal leaves with water.
Soon he brought a green portion over he raised her back up and made her rest on his small body as he began to feed her the potion.
After emptying the content of the potion, color restore to her face and she regained some vigor, although she still looked frail and unconscious she didn't have the lifeless look as before and her chest heaved up and down pulsating with stable rhythm.
Leinad sighed in relief, "This should do for now" then he cleaned the sweat that gathered on his forehead, "it's a good thing no one his here to see my pitiful appearance, if my followers knew that I, leinad, and my mother got poisoned, I bet they won't even dare believe it can't belive I strained myself to cure only a little part of her poison, I better cultivate quickly so I can give her more effective treatment I really can't lose face."
Saying that leinad sat crossed-legged by the side of his mother and began to sense the spiritual energy around.
leinad immediately felt the spiritual energy surge towards him like a parent embracing their child.
His upgraded meridians and pores proved effective, they opened wide like hungry beasts and began to frantically absorb spiritual energy to cleanse his Bone marrow and strengthen them.
To cultivate one had to first open their meridians which could take months or years from some weak talents but with the help of the system leinad now had Golden dragon meridians and directly skipped that step.
Next was breaking through the Body Forging realm, which was further divided into two stages namely: The Bone marrow cleansing stage, The viscera transformation stage.
This realm was important as it forge the body like metal, cleansing all impurities and strengthening the body to allow it to be able to hold and wield spiritual energy in future, of course like metal the purer the body the stronger it is
Leinad couldn't help but smile when he felt how much denser the spiritual energy was compared to the 'future earth'.
Leinad style of absorption was impetuous, his meridian constantly widening, shattering and healing with the spiritual energy flooding his body non-stop.
The sheer pain of the whole process was maddening, leinad felt his insides were hurt but he endured, this was a test of his will and as a transmigrator his will was the strongest among his peers.
if it was someone else new to cultivation that was absorbing this much energy their meridians would have scattered or worse exploded but it wasn't a problem for leinad whose realm was once unfathomable and had the perfect combination of his undying body continuously healing his Gold Dragon meridians as they were constantly being stretched.
Leinad practiced the suicide-like cultivation method for two hours and soon he broke into the first stage of the Body forging realm(bone marrow cleansing stage) but he didn't stop cultivating, he didn't want to he enjoyed this feeling of gaining strength and having his lift under his control.
His absorption rate actually doubled and he first painstakingly solidified his new realm for an hour and then he began to attack the next stage.
Kacha Kacha!
After several hours his internal organs became durable and visibly stronger, and he finally broke through to the viscera transformation stage,
After stabilizing his realm he finally checked his updated data

[Cultivation: the peak of Body forging realm
[Power levels: 39]
[Race: Human]
[Skills: All-seeing eye,]

Leinad smiled in satisfaction, he had achieved the unimaginable and reached the peak of the Body forging realm from nothing in just half a day, even his previous self took six days to achieve similar feet.
what he needed to do is purge his body of any impurity to break through to the next big realm.
if news got out he was sure those nobles of sparta will go crazy trying to recruit him under their wings before he went for the 'Agoge' training.
