Chapter 422 - The Five Treasures Realm
Lin Mu heard senior Xukong’s suggestion and took out a mirror from his ring. This was a rather expensive silver mirror that he had bought in the Wu Lim city and was now finally coming handy. Lin Mu had mostly used polished bronze mirrors before this, and seeing the quality of the silver mirror made him impressed.
He held it in front of him and gazed at the young man in the mirror.
"Is this... me?" Lin Mu questioned in shock.
"That is most definitely you," Xukong confirmed.
"But... how?" Lin Mu asked in a stunned voice.
"That is another one of the effects of the Xiantian physique. When it reaches completion, it will revert one’s body to the most optimum condition it can achieve. That is the reason why you look like this now." Xukong explained.
Lin Mu’s skin had become soft and supple, the faint tan that had previously had completely been erased. Replacing it was fair smooth skin that would make a woman jealous. His hair became glossy and shone in the light of the flames.
The scars that he had on his body also disappeared and it was as if he never got them. One could even say that Lin Mu now looked a bit more feminine than before. His hair was already long enough to reach below his holders and if he used a bit of makeup, he may even be able to disguise as a girl.
"I look way more girly now..." Lin Mu said with a wry smile.
He reached the peak of the body tempering realm at the age of seven and got stuck there for three years. When he reached the tenth year of his life, his potential exploded and his strength did too. That was when they learned of the realm beyond the body tempering realm." Xukong explained.
"What is the name of the realm beyond that senior?" Lin Mu questioned, his curiosity reaching the peak.
"The body cultivation realm that is beyond the body tempering realm is called... The Five Treasures Realm." Xukong answered.
"What does the Five Treasures realm entail?" Lin Mu asked.
"In the Five Treasures Realm, one needs to refine their five treasures, which are the five organs of your body; the liver, the spleen, the heart, the lungs, and the kidneys. Refining each organ successfully will push you to a realm equivalent to that of the qi cultivation realm." Xukong revealed.
"Wait! You mean to say... just one realm of the body temping realm encompasses the entire spirit qi refining cultivation?" Lin Mu said with utter shock.
"Indeed. The body tempering realm is an extremely potent way of strengthening your body such that it becomes invulnerable. Another thing is, there is no order to it. You can start to refine any organ you want first and can even do all of them together.
Though doing that is not recommended, as it could take a very long time.
For example, if you fully refine your liver, you will instantly obtain the strength that is equal to that of a peak core condensation realm expert." Xukong explained.
Lin Mu’s mind felt as if it was struck by lightning. He could immediately understand the potential of the body cultivation and wondered why it was not practiced here. He had never Even heard something like this existed.
Lin Mu was currently at the peak stage of the body tempering realm which already put him at the same level as that of a peak stage qi refining realm cultivator and if he added his Xiantian physique to that, he was perhaps pushed to the level of a Early stage core condensation realm expert.The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.
