"Hmm?" Hearing this, the Holy Tree raised its head and looked at the civilian girl who had hidden her hands behind her back and had an expression that you could not guess. It said with anticipation,"Ah! Did Sister Hayakawa Yuki bring delicious food for the holy tree again?”
Ever since the girl came to the pharmacy to buy medicine, she was still a little girl. After he burst out with a great maternal brilliance, he would often secretly bring some food from home or pick a few wild fruits for him when he went out to pick wild vegetables. Therefore, he didn't mind making the girl happier, even though he had already sensed the animal's aura behind her with his soul power.
"Not this time! "It's this…" The girl, Hayakawa Yuki, took out a fat gray hare from behind her back and threw it on the counter. She then approached the Holy Tree of Heaven."…This is for you!"
The Holy Tree looked at Hayakawa Yuki, whose expression was almost as if she wanted a reward. It reached out to hug the wild rabbit and leaned forward to kiss her on the cheek."Thank you, sister…"
" Hehe…" Hayakawa Yuki patted the Holy Tree's head in satisfaction, then smacked his face,""Sister still has to go pick wild vegetables. Holy Tree, be good…"
Seeing the girl run out with a smile, the Holy Tree smiled helplessly. After all, he was an adult, and he was not used to being treated like a child. "Pretending to be young and cute shouldn't be a crime, right? Besides, I'm not pretending to be young!" He touched the cheek that had just been kissed and pondered in his heart.
However, his gaze swept across the wild rabbit in front of him and he touched its soft fur with his hand."Aunt Eva has already collected enough beast blood essence for me, plus some herbs. It should be enough for my first body refinement, right?”
That's right, he was already prepared to undergo the first tempering of his body, and then begin the cultivation of Wizard Power. A while ago, he had asked Aunt Eva to collect the blood of wild beasts when she hunted them. He also found out the source of the meat on the table every day. It was the location of the second round of the Chuunin exam in the original novel, the Forest of Death. Eva was not a ninja and could not leave the village, so she could only hunt wild animals within the village. There were so many wild animals, but only in the place called the Forest of Death.
He knew Eva was a warrior, but he didn't know how strong she was. However, based on the fact that she had been hunting all kinds of wild beasts in the Forest of Death for a long time and was unharmed, her strength should be at least at the level of a Chuunin.
That was why the Holy Tree dared to ask Eva to help collect animal blood and try to bring back living beasts. Eva did not disappoint him, bringing back one or two dying or living beasts every day.
A living wild beast could extract 80% of its blood essence, but if it was just its blood, it could only extract 40% to 50% at most. It was obvious who was better.
The Holy Tree didn't want Eva to risk her life hunting wild beasts, but he had no other choice but to rely on her. The blood essence of animals must be preserved in a special way for a certain period of time after the animal died to ensure the vitality of the blood as a raw material for refining the body. Some people might say that the blood essence of wild beasts could be bought with money, but he did not dare to take the risk. After all, not only did Muye have the Dark Group monitoring the village at all times, but he also had the existence of Roots in the dark.
The first tempering of his body was extremely important, as it would affect his future potential. He also needed a lot of beast blood essence. A two-year-old child and a maid warrior had bought so much animal blood essence. It would be strange if the Dark Group and Root did not notice anything unusual!
He would definitely be monitored 24/7 and might even be labeled as a suspicious person and killed. The Heaven Saint Tree didn't doubt that Mu Ye would do that. It was a time of war!
Of course, he was worried that Eva would get into an accident. He had prepared a variety of powerful anesthetics. Even if it was a giant elephant, as long as it was stained with a little bit of blood, it would instantly fall to the ground. There were also hallucinogenic drugs. Any animal that smelled them would fall into an illusion. He also gave Eva a drug that could conceal her body's aura and instructed her to use it. He used the excuse that he had learned it from his family's ancient books. Eva was shocked by this, but she did not doubt it. She just kept sighing at the genius of the young master of the Holy Tree, how the young miss and Lord Steel Flame were, and so on.
……
It was another full moon night.
In the secret underground room of the House of Heaven, the candlelight was as bright as day. The Holy Tree stood on a tall stool. In front of it was a blood-colored bathtub that was constantly boiling and rolling with countless unknown drugs. It carried a thick smell of blood. There was also a burning firewood on the ground.
"Young Master Holy Tree, are you really going down?”Eva stood at the side with the big bucket cover and looked at the terrifying bathtub in front of her, asking in fear.
"Yes, Aunt Eva!" The Holy Tree suppressed the timidity in its heart and tried its best to answer in a calm tone,"" This is the method to refine my body that I found in the secret scroll that has been passed down in my family for thousands of years. It can allow me to be reborn and have the potential to become a powerful ninja…"
" But, Young Master, the water is so hot, you…" Eva thought of her young master about to enter the boiling blood-colored bathtub. Even if she believed everything he said, she could not help but worry.
" If you want to be strong, you have to pay the price. This is the price I have to pay, Eva."Just as I told you before, cover the bathtub after I enter. No matter what happens, don't open it before the firewood is extinguished!”
" But, but…Young Master Holy Tree…Can you not use such a dangerous method…Sob…" Eva could not help but cry.
"Aunt Eva, I believe that if mother was here, she would support me!”The Holy Tree of Heaven turned around and smiled at Eva.""Also, please believe that I will succeed!”
" Alright, Young Master Holy Tree…Sob, please succeed…Sob, sob…"
"Then, let's begin…"
Plop...
……
" Ah, it hurts…" The moment he entered the bathtub, the Holy Tree felt an incomparable pain invading his brain. Then, his entire body fell into the beast blood. The spicy beast blood, which was rich in medicinal herb essence, penetrated through his skin and invaded his body. It began to transform his bones, meridians, muscles, and internal organs. The feeling of being ground into ashes made him unable to help but shout. Unfortunately, a large amount of beast blood essence rushed into his mouth, choking him to death.
"Ah…"
"It hurts…"
Struggling…
Endless struggle…
……
When the Holy Tree regained consciousness, it heard the chirping of the birds in the early morning.
" Ah, Young Master Holy Tree, you're finally awake…" When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Eva's worried face. The tears on her face had not dried yet.
"Aunt Eva, I'm sorry for making you worry!”The Holy Tree grinned and said happily. He couldn't be unhappy. This was the feeling of being reborn after a disaster!
" That's good, that's good…" Eva repeated excitedly.
"Auntie, I'm so hungry!" The holy tree rubbed its belly and saw that it was naked. It quickly pulled the blanket over it and said to Eva.
" Ah... I'll prepare some food for you right away. Please wait a moment..." Eva rushed to the kitchen.
Putting aside Eva who had hurried out to cook, the Holy Tree took a short rest and focused on checking its body.
The condition of his body that he was most concerned about at this stage. He realized that although his body was still the same size after being refined, there was a complete transformation inside.
Under the perception of his soul power, every bone in his body was refined until it was as translucent as jade. The density and strength of his bone cells had increased by many times, and the ability of his bone marrow to produce blood had also been greatly strengthened. After the cells in his body absorbed a large amount of beast blood essence, a semi-crystallized change occurred. His muscles and internal organs emitted a golden jade luster. In addition, the meridians in his body had been widened several times, turning from a small stream into a large river. At this moment, his meridians and acupoints were filled with a thick blood-colored energy that flowed through his body with his breathing. Wherever the blood-red energy flowed, his cells were still absorbing it to strengthen themselves. The thick blood-red energy was the essence energy of the beast blood that his body had absorbed.
"Is this the Golden Skin and Jade Bones? In ancient times, there were only a few people who could achieve Golden Skin and Jade Bones during the first refinement?”The Holy Tree of Heaven was filled with joy. Compared to the gains, the pain of training was not worth mentioning."I didn't expect that the words I casually told Eva about being reborn would come true!”
He clenched his fists and waved them a few times. He felt that there was an endless amount of power in his body. He was no longer as powerless as a child.
Next was the power of the soul. The Holy Tree felt that the power of the soul that was originally suppressed at the level of a mid-level sorcerer had doubled, and it could be used more freely. Moreover, since his physical body had reached a certain level, his cultivation base had automatically broken through to become a high-level Wizard. In the future, as long as he could cultivate Wizard Power in his body, he would become a true Wizard. He would no longer be a Wizard who only had Soul Power and could barely protect himself like before.
Moreover, at that time, a strong physical body would nurture the power of the soul, and the power of the soul would nurture the Wizard Power, which in turn would nourish the physical body. In this way, a virtuous cycle would be formed, and the power of the soul would complement the physical body, and there would be no need to worry about the imbalance between the two.
Thanks to his powerful soul power, even though his physical fitness had increased greatly after the tempering, there was no situation where he could not control his strength.
Eva quickly prepared the meal and sent it over. The holy tree quickly ate. His body did not need to replenish energy. It was just that his internal organs had been strengthened and had a very strong ability to refine food. His body had not adapted to it yet, so he felt extremely hungry. Therefore, he did not eat too much this time. He only filled his stomach a little to make himself feel more comfortable and stopped eating.
He knew that going too far was as bad as falling short. Therefore, in the next few days, he was like an ordinary child. During the day, he went to the pharmacy, concocted medicine, talked to familiar villagers, read books when he was free, and at night, he hid in the secret room to study ancient books. When he was tired, he would sleep.
Only when his mood was completely relaxed did he begin to train his body.
The Holy Tree trained in his own courtyard. He did not ask Eva to teach him because he practiced the Twelve Forms Body Refining Technique that the ancient wizards used to refine their bodies.
The Twelve Forms Body Tempering Art was a training method created by ancient sorcerers by observing the twelve strange beasts of elephant, rabbit, eagle, tiger, ape, crane, dragon, phoenix, snake, bear, deer, and turtle. Its essence was the Soaring Dragon, Tiger Leap, Phoenix Dance, Snake Walk, Eagle Claw, Ape Strike, Crane Strike, Elephant Step, Rabbit Stomp, Bear Paw, Deer Run, and Turtle Breath. When cultivated to a high level, it had incredible power.
The Holy Tree was about to start cultivating the Elephant Steps. The elephant was the king of the land, and there was nothing more stable than it. The Elephant Steps imitated the giant elephant standing on the ground, its body unmoving like a mountain. Combined with the breathing method of the turtle breath, it could temper one's will and body. This was the best method to build a foundation.
