Chapter 46 - Cultivating
Next day,
"Time to refine my legs and enter stage 1 of the body cleansing realm,"
Henrick woke up early in the morning and as soon as he woke up he was very excited about today because he was finally going to start his cultivation.
'Eek eek'
The baby fire monkey which was sound asleep beside him was awakened by his excited shouts and shouted back at Henrick.
"Sorry, Spark. I am just excited a little about today. You can go back to your sleep,"
Henrick patted the baby fire monkey and asked it to sleep.
Spark was still feeling sleepy. So, it didn't waste any time and went back to its sleep.
'Now it's time to check about internal fire energy in my dantian,'
Henrick silently thought in his head before a holographic screen appeared in front of him.
'Ding,
Internal fire energy:- 5% of the dantian (Pure)
'I can't circulate the 'Blazing sun sutra' more than 5 times. I guess that is my limit,' After checking the system notification, Henrick muttered to himself as he nodded his head.
That's right! Yesterday, He was able to circulate the 'Blazing sun sutra' three times without any pain; however, the last two times the pain started growing and when he tried for the 6th time, he could not bear the pain anymore. So, he stopped after that and went to sleep before taking a hot bath.
'However, this is not normal internal fire energy. So, the 5 percent is good for now considering I didn't even start my cultivation,'
Henrick didn't let himself down when he saw the pure internal fire energy in his dantian and stood up from his stone bed.
He stretched his body for a little and washed his face before returning back to his stone bed.
'I wonder, I type of daily missions, I will get today,' Henrick was not only excited about the cultivation he was going to start today but he was also quite excited about the daily missions.
According to his guess, he was hoping that he would be getting some new daily missions today because he now had the internal fire energy in his body which was not there to the prior daily missions.
'I guess, the system is still preparing the daily mission. Until then I will refine my hands and legs,' He didn't want to waste any more time thinking about the other things and closed his eyes while sitting in a cross-legged position.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he concentrated on his pure internal fire energy in his dantian and controlled a small portion of the internal energy to his hands.
'Argh'
Just when the pure internal fire energy came out of his dantian, Henrick felt a great deal of pain in his veins that was connected to his hands.
'Phew'
Although Henrick expected there would be a pain while refining his body parts, he never expected that pain to be this great. So, without hesitation, he sent his internal fire energy back into his dantian before heaving a sigh of relief.
'I didn't expect the pain would be this great,' Henrick shook his head for a moment and all of a sudden, he thought, 'No, I can't back off now. If I can't even endure this much pain, then how could I become an immortal cultivator.'
While saying that, Henrick clenched his fist and took a deep breath before starting the refining process.
'First, let the internal fire energy move towards the hangs as soon as possible,'
Henrick once again started concentrating on the internal fire energy and moved his pure internal fire energy to his hands at its fastest pace while muttering the process.
'Now, I have to move my internal fire energy as slow as possible to push the impurities through my hands,'
Next, Henrick slowly moved his internal fire energy in his two hands.
'Aargh'
All of a sudden, the pain in his hands increased to an unimaginable level and groaned in pain.
'I need to endure the pain..endure...endure,'
Nevertheless, Henrick gritted his teeth and continued to mutter 'Endure' while slowly moving the internal fire energy through the vein in his hands.
As the internal fire energy was slowly moving inside his hands, a thin black layer started appearing on his hands.
'A little more and I can end this,'
Henrick continued to endure the scorching pain in his hands and silently muttered while gritting his teeth.
Soon the thin black layer started to appear from his shoulder to the tip of his fingers.
'Now, return,'
As soon as the internal fire energy passed to all the corners in his hands, he immediately called it back into his dantian.
'Phew, finally it's over. Time to clean up this,'
Henrick heaved a sigh of relief and while looking at the thin black layer on his both hands, he stood up from his stone bed to clean it.
'Ding,
Congratulations on successfully refining both the hands, master.
'Ding,
Refine the legs and remove the impurities from them, then the master will reach stage 1 of the body cleansing realm,
As he went to wash his hands, Henrick received the two system notifications that made him stop in his tracks.
'That's right! I still have to remove impurities from my legs. I guess I will do that now and then clean my body,'
Henrick returned back to his stone bed and just like before, he sat cross-legged before closing his eyes.
Soon, he started removing the impurities from his legs just like how he removed them without any difficulty.
'Phew...this is faster than I thought,'
Unlike before, Henrick didn't feel much pain while removing the impurities from his legs and heaved a sigh of relief.
'Ding,
Congratulations to the master for reaching the stage 1 of the bone cleansing realm.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he received the system notification that made him elated.
'Although it is a little painful, it is easier. Also, its stinks,' Henrick muttered to himself while looking at the black layer of impurities on his legs and hands.
