Rain closes his eyes sitting by a window in a room. The wind from outside the window is blowing his hair.
Rain is inside his soul space watching the soul chip with full power, simulate the movement of true energy to create a Grandmaster exercise so he can again increase his strength. After reaching the grandmaster realm, his body and true energy growth have stagnated.
Yesterday at the Great Elder Home, he read 11 Grandmaster exercises. Two are complete Grandmaster exercises, one is up to the complete organ realm, six are up to the complete bone realm, and two are up to the complete flesh realm.
All the exercises, in part or in their entirety, require resources and a special environment to practice. For example, the Black Wind exercise, the second chapter, which is also the final part of the exercise, does not require resources but understanding the rhythm of black winds that blow in the black wind valley.
In the exercises, the Flesh realm, Bone realm, Organ realm, or Sense realm does not require resources to practice but uses precise control of true energy to practice the exercise. As there are no resources or environment to refine the specific body part.
The Black Wind exercise the second chapter of refining the bones is without resources. The creator of the exercise may not have found or there is no resource there to refine and strengthen the bones.
To practice the Black wind exercise the artistic conception that one understood must be wind erosion rule or any wind rules will do. So the resources required for the exercise must be neutral or wind related otherwise conflict may occur with the true energy of the person who practices the exercise.
Rain broke through Grandmaster with vitality rule. The vitality rule is compatible with all attribute resources or special environments as the Vitality Rule's only ability is healing.
Death rule or poison rules may be the opposite of vitality rule but one can fight back and remove the influence of these rules with vitality rule.
As vitality rules ability is heal the damaged and injured parts that remain will recover and strengthen from before. Opposite rules help quickly strengthen and refine the body but it's dangerous and may cause permanent damage.
Like what happened with Senior Ji Xuan, if he had not created his exercise without combining blood-burning techniques then even if he understood burning rules and reached the fifth realm of the artistic conception of rules, he would not have been able to save himself.
Rain then remembered Senior Ji Xuan entered a new realm of rules after artistic conception. There is no mention in the book and the Great Elder of Black and White also does not know the name of what is after artistic conception.
Rain thinks " Xue Lin and Gao Li must know and they are now together with him in a ship going to the immortal market. "
" I will ask them later. Now first create the Flesh chapter of the exercise."
Rain's attention toward the soul chip. Watch as the soul chip's progress in creating the Flesh chapter reaches 91 percent. He ordered the soul chip to start creating the exercise when he reached home yesterday.
Rain cannot do any activity that requires his soul power or true energy as all of them invest in the soul chip to run it in full power.
So, Rain went to the bed in the room and fell asleep. So, the soul chip can use more energy, as his remaining wake consumes energy.
Rain awakes as the soul chip wakes him up informing him the creation of the exercise is complete. Rain walking up did not open his eyes first but absorbed the memory of the Grandmaster exercise, that Soul Chip created.
After absorbing and understanding how to perform the exercise. Rain stood up and started to perform the exercise. To refine the Flesh, the True energy of the body has to vibrate in a specific rhyme to be effective.
Rain stops performing the exercise as 70 % of his true energy is consumed. To recover his true energy he ate a golden dew medicine. And open his panel to see the improvement. With new data, his panel improved-
Personal Panel:
- Name: Rain (Yun Ting)
- Realm: Grandmaster( Flesh)
- Body: 1.9871
Techniques:
- Spring Rain Sword Art (Low. D) – Master
- Palm Technique ( Top. E) – Master
- Blood Flame Palm (D) – Master
Mysteries:
- Poison Stone – 0.12%
- Sap of Devil Trap – 0.001%
- Dark Iron – 0.0006%
- Rain Stone (D) – 2.53%
After obtaining more data, Rain improved and streamlined the panel. Before he performed the exercise his body data was 1.9821. so the improvement for performing the exercise for two hours is 0.0050. To go through the Bone realm body data should reach 10.
Then if he practices for 8 hours in a day the time required will be 400 days. It's faster than any other Grandmaster but it is slow for him.
The bone realm of Grandmaster corresponds to the Middle D-rank of the Radiation world. He reaches the Middle D-rank in under 10 days.
Rain has to identify resources or special environments required to speed up the process.
Rain thinks about the Corpse oil he got with the Corpse transformation technique. When after applying the corpse oil, his true energy reverts to the transformation process. After it was complete he found his skin became stronger and the date in the personnel panel was also shown.
There is a recipe for how to create corpse oil in the book. And he should also find some poisons that only affect the skin and muscles of the body.
He will have to buy a book on herbs. Maybe in the immortal market, there will be a book on this topic.
Then a thought came and He remembered Gao Li is a doctor, and she may be familiar with herbs.
With that Rain left his room and in the corridor of the ship. He then walks to Gao Li's door and knocks. No answer, so he knocked again but again no answer.
Rain thinks, "She may be with Xue Lin in her room." and walks to Xue Lin's room and knocks again no answer.
"They must be on the deck." And this time Rain's guess was correct and found them on the deck enjoying the morning sun and the breeze blowing along the river and the mountains around.
Xue Lin sees him first, " Rain, I thought you would spend the entire journey in the room."
Rain smiles, "Xue Lin, that was the plan but I struck in a problem." and walks and stands beside them.
Xue Lin," Tell me, I will solve your problem."
Gao Li smiles at him," Yes, Rain. I will try to help you and I have not thanked you for escorting us."
Rain replies," No need to thank me. Without you two how would I know there is an immortal market near."
Gao Li," Then also I should thank you."
Before Rain can reply, Xue Lin," You two can continue your conversation later. Rain what's your problem?"
Rain took a glance at Gao Li," This question was for Gao Li but you two are here you two can help me."
Gao Li curiously looked at Rain and then a blush covered her face as she remembered the letter she received from her father," You need my help."
Rain puzzles why Gao Li is blushing, thinks Not my problem, and asks," How much two you know how Grandmaster practices?"
Rain found hearing his question, a thoughtful look appeared on Xue Lin's face as if she was solving a hundred-year mystery.
Gao Li, " My uncle is a grandmaster, I am familiar with Grandmaster practice."
Before Rain can ask about plants and poison that act primarily on the skin and muscle.
Xue Lin says," You want to know about herbs and poison that help refine your skin and muscle."
Rain looks shocked at Xue Lin," Yes, How did you know?"
Gao Li with a thoughtful look murmurs,' To refine skin and muscle.' and speaks," There are many but I know a poison can be used by any Grandmaster and does not conflict with their true energy."
Rain was elated hearing this, "Really."
Xue Lin," Gao Li, you are taking shadow poison."
Rain," Shadow poison."
Gao Li, " Most Grandmasters use this before they create their exercise. It is used by assassins to assassinate Grandmaster, It immediately spreads through the body and numbs the muscles and without an antidote in a weak's time the muscles start to rot."
Rain hearing the description thought the poison paralyzes the muscles of the body but the damage is too slow, " Is not too slow to damage the muscle."
Gao Li," Yes, it is but this poison is easily available and other poison may cause conflict with your true energy."
Xue Lin chuckles, " Rain's true energy will not conflict with most of the poison."
Rain's wide eye looks at Xue Lin thinking she may figure out his artistic conception, but How? before he can ask her.
He hears a shout from the lookout of the ship, " Demon incoming! Demon incoming!"
