Ten days later,a humanoid clay figure beside a stream cracked,as Zach's body was revealed,he had a brown shin all over his naked body.
He had repeated this process once for the past eight days for six hours a day. The rest of the time was used hunting normal beast for their meat and materials and also making some clay utensils and building bricks,a venture that had earned him an two more wooden chests.
He now had four wooden chest,three more units of meat,and eight units of bricks,he made a single unit of them each day,and a pile of fur,hide,bones,scales,feathers, poison sacs and even several pots of honey.
The meat was smocked for preservation,while the fur and hides had been dried under the sun.
All these were placed in the hole back at the grassy plane.
"Finally..."
Zach jubilated as he stretched his body,the advancement in body forging realm to the third stage did not improve his power by much,but rather his defense.
He could fight a low stage wi beast without any worry,and that what he planned on doing,since the next stage required him to forge his organs. And for him to this,he needed to refine the organs of a spirit beast and infuse the refined essence into his body.
This method required one to have control over spirit or have another cultivator refine the organs for them,and since there was not anyone around to refine the spirit beast organs for him,he opted for most basic method. He would hunt down low stage spirit gathering beast and feast on them.
He had spotted several low ranked spirit gathering beasts,most of them being hares and boars around the forest.
The low ranked spirit gathering beasts were twice as large,fast and powerful than the normal beasts of their species,but with Zach's current body and experience,the low ranked spirit gathering beast were an easy peak for him.
The reason he wanted to completely forge his organs before starting cultivation was due to the power boost each forged organ provided.
A forged heart converted the normal blood increasing it's vitality,while a forged spleen improved ones defence,the forged lungs increased the efficiency in spirit gathering,a forged liver and kidneys increased the total body strength and ease at which toxins were released from the body, marrow forging increased blood production and efficiency at conductivity as well as an increased healing rate.
In short,organ forging placed one at the peak of body forging realm, creating the ideal martial body.
A peak realm body forging person could fight against someone two staged above them,and with enough skills and a high battle sence and experience,it was not hard for them to fight above their current realm.
With two days left before his mandatory log out,Zach had finally achieved his goal.
"Six wooden chest..."
"Let me see what each has to offer..."
Zach said as he headed to retreived the other five wooden chests from the hole.
He hoped that opening so many wooden chests at once would increase his chances of obtaining something good.
He willed for the chests to be open at once,one did not have to manually do it if they did not want to,and a string of notifications popped up in front of him.
The basic clay forging manual was in the chest awarded after he built his first forge and portals wheel,they may have been crude but we're enough to serve their purpose for the moment.
"All this has to be organized..."
Zach thought as he piled the resources and other items and materials separately. He now had enough resources to establish a peak ranked camp,but first,he needed to break through into the spirit gathering realm.
For this to happen,he had to sence the spirit within the atmosphere and gather it into his body via the network of meridians and store the spirit in his dantian.
After arranging everything within a circle made of the stones and bricks for protection,incase the beasts from the forest attacked,Zach sat down in a lotus position. He was finally going to take the next step and become a cultivator.
He had played several other cultivation games,and so he did not need a cultivation manual to aid him in cultivation.
He knew that cultivation manuals, despite improving the efficiency of ones cultivation,they all limited one to the specific cultivation or element. What he planned on doing was to cultivate without the aid of a manual,as this would remove the limits of a cultivation manual,but at the same time,slow his cultivation pace,but with the completely forged organs,there was no different between his cultivation speed and that of an average cultivator.
Zach had already drifted into a trance like state. His mind and body were focused on sencing the spirit flowing within the atmosphere.
He did not know how long he was in this trance like state when a surge of spirit rushed into his body and the string of system notifications woke him up.

>
Zach had finally broken through into the low stage of spirit gathering realm,he needed to increase the capacity of the spirit WI in his dantian to sixty percent for him to enter the mid stage of spirit gathering realm,a hundred percent spirit qi for him to undergo a breakthrough into the high stage of spirit gathering realm.
As for breaking through into peak stage of spirit gathering realm,he had to convert the spirit qi strings into a drop of spirit qi.
After filling twenty-five percent of his dantian with the spirit qi drops,he would break through into the low stage of the next realm. The Foundation Establishment realm
