dantian

Mu xin wake up to see a ceiling.

(Huh? Where am i?)

He sat up looking around, seeing shu hua he asked.

"Sister hua where is it?"

He confused with the sudden location change from a riverside inside a forest into a bedroom.

"You like it? Sister just made it while mu xin was refining his bone"

She said so proudly, while mu xin was dumbfounded, suddenly he panicked.

"Wait just how long did i sleep then?!"

"Calm down It's still noon not even a day passed by yet"

(You make a house in few hours?!, wait calm down from what i see there's only one door and window on the left and right wall, so only a single room and there also few big wooden basket, it's probably four to four meter size? Just to shelter from wind and rain, huh, but why only one bed? Whatever don't question it)

"Sister hua I'm going to continue with my body refinement"

Just as he about to leave the bed to go outside and cultivating he got pulled by shu hua, he ends up sitting back on the bed.

"Just do it here sister will also watch over you"

"Well okay"

(I want to feel some wind while enduring pain though haaaaa so be it)

Mu xin sit cross leg on the bed and begin his bone refinement once again.

His qi start to move again and cover his all his bone, this time he immediately pushes the qi into his bone forcing it, the resistance is much stronger compare to before but the qi certainly still being absorbed by the bone.

The pain that he feel also worse that before, his body is shaking immediately but he didn't let out a sound, he just grit his teeth and endure it.

(I don't think i will ever get used to this)

Mu xin keep persisting while shu hua watch the entire process.

This time the process last for five hours, his entire bone has changed into bright silver color.

Mu xin fell again on his back but this time shu hua catch him and put his head on her lap.

"You did well, next you should just refine your organ and skin two time each"

"But didn't you say keep refining it until the qi can't be absorbed anymore"

He was tired and gasping for breath, his face is just as pale as before.

(Event though i can tell my bone is changing again but to think it can still absorb more qi, although it was very hard, I'm not sure i can keep doing it)

"Sister didn't know that mu xin can reach tier three in body refinement, but if you want to keep refine it you need to go to divine world first because the quality and about of qi in lower world is not enough"

"Wont it be a problem later on?"

"It won't, body refinement is just making the body stronger and more durable to prepare for the next realm, you can always refine it further latter if you want"

"Well okay then"

*grrrm* mu xin stomach is growling in protest asking for food.

(Now that i think about it, i only eat at morning)

"Wait here, sister get some fruit for you"

She walks out of the room and closed the door, few minutes later she back with a lot of fruit in many variations.

(Just where she gets those?)

She put the fruit beside mu xin and sit down beside him.

"Alright eat up"

Mu xin not being shy at all just grab the fruit, eat it in few bite and move on to the next one.

Soon most of it gone and shu hua bring the rest to the basket.

"Now lets sleep since its already night"

Mu xin look at the dark sky from the window with a relief expression.

(Well i have time anyway, it's not like I'm that desperate to become stronger)

Shu hua arrive at the bed and lying down while open her arm at mu xin with inviting smile.

(Seriously? She didn't treat me as an opposite gender at all huh, more like a little brother or even a son, not sure how to feel, i just accept it i guess)

He just lay down beside her, but she decides to cuddle him herself, mu xin can only let her do what she wants.

(Oh right before i forgot)

"Sister hua how did i see my internal body?"

"All you have to do is sense and focus on your body, you will be able to see your internal body as if you were inside"

She explains as she pat mu xin head.

"Thats all?"

"This is what all cultivators can do regardless of their realm"

"Okay then"

Mu xin closed his eye and do as shu hua instruction, instantly he can see his blood vessel, organ, blood.

(Wow this is amazing, just imagine if everyone have this ability on earth there's no more x-ray scan, wait that's my bone?! Its glowing silver! Cool! Just looking at it makes it feel worth it enduring all those pain)

He mesmerized by his own bone.

(Well its nice looking at my glowing silver bone but i got other things that i want to see, its should be somewhere below, ah there it is)

He starts descending at the glowing white orb that at below his navel, it was his dantian, he immediately flung himself inside it, he lands right beside the big pond that half full.

(Is this normal?)

He's not questioning the pond, he's questioning the big lightning cloud above his head with lightning always flashing in it, the green lotus in the middle of the pond, and the occasional appearance of a long body of golden dragon.

The cloud above is black and giving a light rain that never stop, the green lotus having sixteen light green petals and a pod with three hole which seem for the seed but its empty, the golden dragon that seems too small to call a dragon if not for its golden scale, four short limbs and a pair of dragon horn, its even smaller than python snake.
