chapter 18, Breaking through to middle stage

Taking a boat back to the sect ,I went straight to the mission hall. When I got there I went straight to the elder at reception. When the elder saw me ,he looked at me for a while as if trying to remember.

AHH it's you young man have you decided to give up or something he asked .

No I'm here to submit my missions I said giving him a space ring with the bulls corpse and bandits heads. The elder used his sport sense to check the ring and showed a surprised face a little before going back to normal. He shifted the things from that ring to another giving back my ring .

I handed him my sect badge and he In transferred my 620 sect points to it. Handing it to I took a look at my now total of 675 points ,and since you have completed two missions at once you don't have to go another for the next six months ,said the elder .

Leaving the hall Frank decided to go visit James and check on his progress . Walking to the residential area Frank passed by a lot of other sect disciples catching interesting news from them. When he got there Frank found James practicing his lightning control on the yard .

He looked at me yo Frank what brings you here it's been a while man .

Sorry man was busy in seclusion only came out to take the mission and gather some resources. How's life in the sect though haven't been around much myself .So I had a chat with James with him telling more about the sect.

Hey have you been to the Thunder storm room yet ,it's very useful on us lightning cultivators .

Yeah I've been there once and those lightning strike sting like hell man . I'm planning on going there again after breaking through to middle stage ,by the way congratulations on your breakthrough.

I said that as I left James house he broke through to high qi absorbing stage. Reaching my house I got in and activated the arrays. Then took out Somebody refining pallets I got from the bandits. Filled the tub with water and poured in two pallets of the medicine.

I used lightning to boil the water dissolving the medicine the water turned a dull green after. Took off my clothes and got in the medicine bath. I laid in and ran my Qi absorbing the medicine in the water .The moment the medicine got in my body I wanted to scream.

It felt like my insides were burning, my skin already started turning red from the punishment. I grit my teeth holding back my screams ,while I was cursing myself in my mind for pouring two of those pallets instead of one like most people. The medicine ran through my flesh blood and even going to my bones .

Felt like I was being cooked alive and the torture lasted for the whole day till the next morning. The water had lost its green colour but was now black with the impurities expelled from the process. I got rid the water and poured in new one to clean myself and wore pants .

After that body refining section I was half a step away from my breakthrough. i took out 10 low grade and 3 mid grade spirit stones.

Placed them around me at sat down to cultivate, I ran the blacklightning manual at full force and started absorbing the Qi from the stones and atmosphere.

Rammed the energy into the barrier blocking my advance but it resisted. Kept hitting it again and gain and after a hundred so runs I had worn it down and gathered enough energy breaking through.

My Qi rapidly rose with my body getting covered by sparks of lightning

Opened my eyes and expelled a deep breath filled with Qi, looking into myself my Qi had increased in density and quantity. I ate a peak 2 star pill and cultivated to stabilise my realm. Stabilizing my cultivation took a whole day to polish.

Moments after I took out my blood ore bucket and changed the blood putting in fresher change. I left my house then to go get a meal in the sect .Walked around the sect and soon found a good looking restaurant. I got in and ordered some beast meat and wine .

Paid a few low grade spirit stones for the food and sat on a table for four near a window. Ate my food making plans for the next few months in the sect. I wanna use the gravity room to breakthrough to 3rd level Proficiency of the electric dance technique .

Then I should temper my body there after then use the Thunderstorm room to improve my lightning .I'll need to see the other training rooms and their effects and take on the arena for a few fights.

I finished my meal and left going to the training rooms.

In the azure lightning sect

You're telling me that you still haven't found one measly low level cultivator all this time. How useless can you people be .

You must find that child and the cultivation manual at all costs do you understand me. We can't afford to have it fall into others hands .

Only we the Azure lightning sect should own that manual .So you better find it or heads will start to roll , starting with yours .

Yes off course sect master will increase the range and not rest until we found him ,Said a trembling elder of the sect .

If Frank was there he'd realize him instantly as the man who led the attack on his master a year ago .

You'd better the more time without the manual the more uncertain things become. Do not mess this up .

*******

Frank completely oblivious to the discussion about about him went to the gravity room to start his training. He entered the gravity room .

Frank walked deeper into it soon he reached the 7x gravity where he started feeling the pressure slowing down considerably.

Frank started using electric dance at that point to move around but it was very slow . Time went on with Frank trying hard to move around the area with 7x gravity. After getting a little used to it he moved on to 8times gravity pressure. Frank could feel he was reaching the limit and few hours later he ran out of Qi.

Frank took a Qi accumulation pill and started recovering his energy.

Moved deeper into the room and stopped at 15x gravity he ate the youngest ginseng he had and moved a level Futher .The gravity started crushing him down so he laid there and used the medical efficiency of the herb .

The medical energy was running through Frank's body with the help of the gravities pressure.It was assimilating in his body at a fast pace but all Frank was feeling at that time was pain .The process went on for several hours with Frank occasionally twitching on the ground.
