Body refining pills

Within a day, news spread throughout the entire city about Long Yang's Mystic grade Spirit soul causing city-wide shock. In the short history of Fleeting Wind city's existence, there have been only two people who've awakened a Mystic grade Spirit soul before, the founder of the Fleeting Wind town's Long clan and his friend, the founder of Fleeting Wind city.

Other than the two who helped found the city, no one has ever awakened a Spirit soul of the Mystic grade or above. Many important figures visited the Long clan to congratulate Long Li on his son.

As for Long Yang himself, he was cultivating in his room again. In front of him was the vial gifted to him by his father. Long Yang popped open the vial and spilled the contents out onto his hand. Eight round circular objects fell out onto his hand, the smell of medicinal herbs wafted around them.

'So these are body refining pills...' His eyes lit up, 'these should be able to increase the speed at which I can clear my meridians.' He eyed the eight pills in his hand for a while longer before he stuffed all eight of them into his mouth.

The pills turned into liquid the moment they touched his tongue flowing down his throat. The medicinal effects of the pills spread throughout his entire body. His body felt cool and refreshed all over, but it quickly took a turn.

A cultivator at the qi gathering stage usually only took one pill at a time, even the higher level qi gathering stage cultivators only used up to two at once. This is due to the medicinal effects being too intense on the body.

Long Yang having used eight at once, the amount of medicinal energy coursing through his body is way more than the amount someone at his level can withstand.

The cool feeling turned to a fiery boiling one as the energy worked through his body. Long Yang started to chant according to his cultivation manual directing the energy towards his tenth primary meridian.

Normally how a cultivator would use body refining pills would be to let the energy take its natural course. By allowing the fiery medicinal effects to spread and settle throughout the body, it is effectively tempering and refining the body.

If Long Yang had used this normal method, his body wouldn't be able to withstand the power of eight pills running amok in his body, but by cultivating with his manual, he directs the energy along towards a goal instead. This way, by herding the energy, Long Yang's body won't implode due to the huge amount of energy and will actually get more out of the pills than normal.

Long Yang grit his teeth as the energy of the pills plowed through the blockades in his meridian. The energy slowly petered out near the end, Long Yang augmented the energy with qi from his dantian to make one final push.

"AHHH!" The energy pushed through finally clearing up his tenth primary meridian. Gray liquid oozed out of his body at certain places. Long Yang opened his eyes, his nose scrunching up, "I smell so bad, what is this!?!"

Knocking sounds came from the door, "Long Yang, its big sister Hong, I'm coming in." The door opened and Xiao Hong stepped inside. The moment she entered, her nose scrunched up as she cringed and asked, "w-what is that smell!?! Long Yang?"

Long Yang blushed, "that smell… I think it's from me..." Xiao Hong laughed, "I'll go prepare a bath, come next door when I call for you."

After Xiao Hong prepared a bath and Long Yang washed himself, he was no longer smelling as bad. He tossed away the clothes and put on new ones. He looked into the mirror, his skin was whiter and cleaner than before.

Xiao Hong knocked on the door before opening it and entering his room. She glanced at Long Yang from top to bottom and nodded, "Much better."

Long Yang laughed, "Haha, sorry about that big sis Hong. By the way, what did you need me for?"

Xiao Hong snapped her fingers, "Oh, that's correct, I had almost forgotten. I came to give you these." She handed over a bag.

Long Yang took the bag and opened it. Inside the bag were three tiny stone shards and four vials. He looked towards Xiao Hong with a confused look, "These are?"

"Gifts from important people. They heard about your talent and gave your father some gifts which he handed off to me to give to you. There are two vials of body refining pills, two vials of qi sensing pills and three spirit stone shards."

Long Yang nodded before turning towards Xiao Hong with a serious expression, "can you prepare another bath for me."

Xiao Hong stared blankly before bursting into giggles, "Hahaha, alright, I'll go prepare another one right away." She walked away chuckling as Long Yang's face flushed red with embarrassment

He returned back next door to his room and sat down at his bed. Long Yang took our the four vials and looked around for labels. He found small engravings on two that said body refining and poured the contents on both vials out on his hand. Sixteen pills rested on his palm before he stuffed all sixteen into his mouth.
