Mountain Sitting Immortal-Chapter 263: Give And Take.
As soon as he woke up, he realized that he had become thinner. It was as if he had been hungry for days. His body has lost so much vitality and weight that he fell to the ninth transformation of the first mortal coil.
The first thing he did was to pick up his identity card to check the date. He expected to see that he had been unconscious for a month or three. But he had only been unconscious for a day.
The second thing he did was to check his status through the Mountain Sitting system.
TECHNIQUES
A: RANK 1
1. Everlasting Wood Intent : 0% >>> 0.1% Mastery.
2. Savage Sword Weapon Technique: 100% Mastery.
What he saw showed that he had indeed fallen from the tenth transformation to the ninth. It also showed that he has lost the Dominating Fire Intent.
It was unbelievable to him because he had never heard something like this. According to normal convention, even if someone cultivates another force intent, they will have two, not zero.
He was worried, so he picked up his identity card and called his supervisor. The connection went through, but she didn't accept the call.
It appeared that she was busy with something, so he sent a message to her informing her of his situation.
After doing all of these, he checked his status again. He saw that he had begun to gain comprehension of the everlasting wood intent.
This made him slightly relieved, but he didn't dare to continue comprehending the force diagram until he was reassured by his supervisor that everything was okay.
He took some pills to recover from his weakness. He also left the cultivation room to get something to eat.
He wasn't the only one who was hungry. Roar was also hungry.
The poor dog whined and whimpered severely to Arthur. He was complaining about his grievances to Arthur.
Arthur soothed Roar with words as he quickly began preparing something for them to eat.
While he was eating, he said to Roar, "I can't wait until we reach the second transformation so that we don't have to eat so much."
That makes two things he urgently needs and wants to reach the second mortal coil so as to be able to achieve.
He wants to be able to fly and also wants to avoid going hungry. Transcending the first mortal coil can make those things possible.
In the matter of avoiding hunger, it is something that can be achieved at the second mortal coil because energy refiners can replenish the energy in their bodies through the mana around them, so they don't need to eat. All they need to do is drink water occasionally.
While he was thinking about this, his identity card rang. He picked it up and saw the notification was for an incoming call from his supervisor, so he accepted the call.
The sound he was hearing from her was windy. It was as if wind was blowing really fast in her area.
Her voice came through the identity card saying, "I've read your message. Your situation is normal for those who comprehend the everlasting wood intent."
"Your previous force intent and all the mana in your body will be consumed and converted into the wood intent and wood energy as you try to comprehend the force diagram. Things can become so severe that your body is beaten back to the first transformation."
"This is mostly because the everlasting Wood intent is a divine technique and also because it is a wood technique. Divine abilities can convert other techniques into themselves, while wood techniques need vitality to grow. So both your body and your force intent were sacrificed for the everlasting Wood intent."
Before he could ask how to prevent this unsavory fate, she provided a solution, "Just remember to take your blood pills before and after you comprehend the force diagram. With enough blood pills, your body won't suffer much. But your previous force intent is gone forever."
"Take the blood pills liberally. I mean that you should take as much as you can. Don't be afraid to overdose. Come to me when you run out of blood pills. I will give you more." freёweɓnovel.com
There was an explosion in the background. Then there was the crash of thunder.
A scream of pain was heard after the crash of thunder. Just hearing it made Arthur wince in secondhand pain.
Someone shouted in the background, "Blue Streak, I'll never let you go. I swear it on my life. I don't care about what sect you are in. This offense must be repaid in blood. There shall be endless retribution on you and your descendants for as long as I live."
Then there was wild, carefree laughter in the background. This laughter was followed by thunderclaps booming in the background.
A calm voice said, "Calm down. I just took some nectar. It is not as if I bedded your mother."
Storm Hawk said to him, "I have to go."
Then the call was disconnected, leaving Arthur wondering what was going on in the silence. When he shook his head in wonder, he saw that Roar had stopped eating and was also looking at his identity card in confusion.
The confusion in Roar's eyes and the way he tilted his head in an attempt to understand why voices were coming from a small card made Arthur chuckle.
He went on to finish his meal. Then he returned to the cultivation room to continue comprehending the force diagram.
The first thing he had to decide was how many blood pills he should take before his attempt.
Each blood pill is a superior rank 1 blood pill made from the whole body of a tenth transformation beast at the first mortal coil.
They are unlike that of a peak rank 1 blood pill made from a part of the body of a tenth transformation beast, so technically, each pill should rival a tenth transformation beast in terms of vitality.
