Chapter 15.- Advanced to the Bone Tempering Realm

{Purple Cloud Dew}

"Well from the looks of it, this seems to be something that could help creatures have their cultivation advance rapidly, right" said Vail as he was making a guess about the use of the purple cloud dew.

{you should see the description with the help of appraisal but it is not enough to see full description with the help of appraisal as it is in low level now, so you could not see all its effects and properties}

"Ok but you need to tell me first, why this vine is showing me its treasure, that could help it to promote to a higher level" said Vail as he was harder time understanding the thought process of this little vine.

{I think it wants to gain your favor and also help you to help itself as it is not far away from the death}

"Ohh, really and here I thought that it thinks that it could trick me into taking some poison or something" said Vail.

"What should I do Trinetri, should I form a contract first or should I help it heal first"

{You can let it heal as it will take some time and it will also create your bond close for later, as it would feel that you let it choose to make a contract instead of forcing it in the life and death situation}

{Just let it go in the puddle and it will heat after some time}

{You also should take a dip after you understand the properties and after securing the perimeter}

"Hmm, ok here goes nothing" Vail said as he used Appraisal Ability on the puddle.

[Purple Cloud Dew : Natural Treasure to all creatures. makes the body growth very fast and have the property to help break through in the minor and major ranks. Sometimes helpful to evolve plant life creatures]

[Created through the long time assimilation and could be said to be a natural body enhancer]

 [Mild properties, even a mortal could take it without any worries of breaking meridians]

[Healing property, for all creatures, it could even effective for rank 5 monsters]

[........(Not enough level of appraisal}]

"Well it is the reason why this Vine could Evolve and break through in ranks" mused Vail over the description.

{It would have been enough for it to reach the peak of the fourth Rank or if the luck would have been on its side then it may have crossed the realm and became a Rank Five Monster}

{But now it can only heal its body and injuries but there is a silver lining to it as well, It would make its foundation more solid for future growth}

{You should also cultivate and assimilate todays energy in the Puddle, todays stored energy could help you break through the muscles tempering upper level and if the Purple Cloud Dew used properly, you could also Break through the Bone Tempering Realm}

Vail have secured the perimeter by spreading the dead vines all over the center so that normal low level monsters have the fear of unknown and not enter in the battle field.

After that he also submerged himself in the puddle, sat cross legged, only waist is below the water level and remaining above the water level.

Body cultivation in muscles tempering realm is all about storing energy and compressing it in the muscles and making them more flexible, more robust, more extensible and tangible that would have more explosive strength.

Vail have immersed himself in making a break through and started to focus on digesting energy and also observing the minuscule changes taking place in his body.

Vail doesn't know that the Vine that he submerged have healed at a break neck speed after quarter of an hour, It almost healed completely, and started to make a break through towards Rank 4 monster, this battle have stimulated its potential and during the life and death cries, its barrier towards the rank four loosened.

After some time Vail successfully digested the energy that he have gathered from morning till now and made a break through in upper stage of the muscles tempering Realm.

The muscles on his whole body curmurring like the several ropes are rubbing each other, last bit of the impurities in the muscles also extracted by the body.

Vail still didn't come out of his immersion as he was feeling the structure of the muscles and also trying to find out the best possible process so that could break through the Bone Tempering realm in one fell sweep.

Vail also felt that during this break through he have gained some weight and his height is compressed to the extreme by the muscles contraction.

'Hey Trinetri why do I feel that my height is decreased by few centimeters' asked Vail in his mind.

{'Vail how do you know that you can talk to me through just thinking about it and through your mind and yes your height does decreased and it came near Ideal to a human being in this plane and after bone tempering there is a chance for that to happen again but you don't need to fret over it, ones you progress in your cultivation to a higher level you can change your height'}

'I thought that, since you are connecter to me through Soul then there should be a connection that could read thought if we wills it like that'

'And I am not freaking out but I think the height change would affect my performance in battel but I will adapt soon as well I guess'

{'Just like you will have to adapt to fight with different enemy of different height and different monsters as well, so this would also be up for discussion that how much time would it take for you to over come this hurdle'}

Vail continues to charge forward towards the Bone tempering Realm and on the other side The Vine have reached critical point on its break through to rank four.

But suddenly it shirked and the break through was interrupted due to its hidden injuries, Vine fell like a broken leave on the ground.

It feels like it have lost its will to cultivate further.

Just then there is a burst of energy came out of nowhere and assimilated with it.

It looked around to see, where the energy burst came from but except of Vail there is no one around. If Vail have eyes than it would seem like it is looking at Vail with deep affection.

It jolted the Vine with wonderful feeling and it again started to break through to rank four.

After a while the Vine successfully became a rank four monster Vine, Its surface is even more slippery, the tiny flowers also become more vivid, and the fragrance it secrets become more mellow and pleasing to smell. 

Its length also increased to a whooping 21 feet long and its surface have a purple luster and have very tiny purple pores all over its body,

After the break through, it came near Vail and circled a wide area around him (Vail) that looks like it is protecting its Baby from any danger possible... 

It also gathered the bodies of fallen Vines through its own means as the dead Vines in the whole field, withered at a very fast speed and the source energy have gathered towards the center where Vail is practicing.

It sense that Vail is approaching a major realm break through, so it instilled the source energy from the dead vine into the Purple Cloud Dew puddle.

Puddle Started to boil and the purple mist also surrounding it become more dense.

Vail is absorbing whatever energy present there in the surrounding and puddle to make this break through.

crackkkkk crackkkk 

At the critical moment there is sound of cracking the bones could be heard out side of the body as well.

"Aahhhh..." this time the tenacious nature of the beast hunter was not enough to keep him from crying out loud.

Beads of sweat came down like a waterfall and the face it twitched again and again. Several bones in the body have cracked at once and the pain was way too much for him to handle. He almost lost his consciousness, but he gritted his teeth and bit his tongue till it starts to bleed to make himself from loosing consciousness.

{'Keep going, if you stop here then the broken bone would not mend in a short time, so you need to concentrate over the break through'}

He didn't even have the energy to think of a reply over it.

After who knows how long, the bones started to combine themselves and it is also somewhat painful for him but not enough to make him cry out loud.

Bone breaking also removed a thick layer of waste and impurities from his body. The puddle blow him became transparent as it has lost the natural energy and became simple water.

Vail face returned to its calm and if looked closely the distinct features on his face became more vivid, now he looks like a man in his early twenties.

"Well that was something alright" as vail opened his eyes and looked at the impurities removed from his body, He simply washed his body on one bank of the puddle.

{Why do you think this puddle of purple cloud is gathered here}

Vail came to a realization and said, "You didn't mean that there is a treasure under this puddle".

{That is what I mean.....}
