Primordial-Body-Tempering

"Nine-Heavens-Pearl! How did you follow me here? And why?!" Lin Yu questioned with mixed emotions as he saw a white pearl filled with cracks floating inside his sea of consciousness.

In the immortal world, there was only one reason why Lin Yu was able to grow rapidly, and that was because of the Nine-Heavens-Pearl, which he had obtained at the beginning.

This pearl was a divine-grade treasure and had a world inside where one could live, grow herbs, and cultivate. The pearl could also accelerate the time inside, making it heaven-defying.

Lin Yu really wanted to bring this pearl back to the earth with him; however, he couldn't do it as the chances of him surviving the heavenly punishment would decrease drastically.

Hence, he could only leave it in the immortal world and get back with just some strands of Zhen-Yuan-Qi.

He had thought he might not see the Nine-Heavens-Pearl in his life again, as it could find another master.

But clearly, he had been wrong, as the pearl had followed him to earth despite knowing it would face heavenly punishment and might be destroyed.

"You are really making me worry," Lin Yu shook his head with a wry smile as he hurriedly transferred Zhen-Yuan-Qi to the Nine-Heavens-Pearl.

"M—master! What are you doing? This Zhen-Yuan-Qi is precious to you!"

The white pearl trembled and dodged away, avoiding the purple Zhen-Yuan-Qi.

Witnessing this, Lin Yu was stunned; however, what shocked him most was the voice he heard in his head.

It was cute, a little weak, and pleasant to hear.

"You can talk now!" he inquired with a dumbfounded look.

He knew that Nine-Heavens-Pearl had consciousness and made decisions on its own; however, he had never heard a word from it in the whole ten thousand years. But now it can suddenly talk; how could he not feel shocked?

"M-master, I wasn't able to do this before because my core had restricted me from condensing a spirit form that could talk and appear in the outer world."

"However, the heavenly punishment from a while ago struck and damaged my core; as a result, such restrictions are lifted now. But there is no need to worry, as I can recover slowly and can even keep the spirit form because of this accident."

The Nine-Heavens-Pearl replied with assurance.

However, Lin Yu's face was dark when he heard the core was damaged. In the immortal world, he had refined countless treasures; how could he not know the importance of the core?

Its importance was the same as the human heart; moreover, the Nine-Heaven-Pearl's core was different as it was born into chaos and could be considered the creation of heavens.

Although there were some restrictions because of it, the pearl was still a heaven-defying treasure.

So how could a core of such treasure be recovered whenever it wanted?

"No more talk! Take the Zhen-Yuan-Qi and recover as much as you can. I will check your core when I start cultivating and find a way to fix it," Lin Yu stated in a deep tone as he once again sent the Zhen-Yuan-Qi towards the pearl.

This time the pearl didn't dodge and let the purple Qi seep inside.

In that instant the cracks on the pearl began to repair at the naked eye, making the pearl look more lively and lustrous than before.

However, no matter how good it looked, with the core damaged, the ability of pearl had decreased.

"Can you tell me how you came here? Also explain your whole condition and what abilities you can use now," Lin Yu inquired at once.

Hearing him, the Nine-Heavens-Pearl didn't hesitate and explained everything.

When Lin Yu left the immortal realm, the pearl felt it wouldn't see him again, so without any hesitation, it jumped into the void of broken space and time, which was left by him.

After this, the heavenly punishment descended on the pearl and damaged its core. Nevertheless, the pearl managed to pass through this hurdle and followed his aura inside the time and space tunnel. Soon after a while, it found him in this place and merged with him.

After giving an explanation about the journey, the pearl told its current condition; there was no problem in the miniature world as well as the ability to accelerate the time.

However, there were some limitations on this!

The miniature world was sealed back to its original state, as well as the time acceleration ability. Which meant Lin Yu had to unlock everything step by step once again.

Of course he also had to fix the core; if not, some abilities of pearl would remain sealed.

After understating everything, Lin Yu let the Nine-Heavens-Pearl recover and started to ponder himself.

'I have only four strands of Zhen-Yuan-Qi left. I should keep one and transfer others to Xiao Mei, Mom, and Dad. This could guarantee their safety in any accident and even meeting with cultivators if there are any on the earth,' he thought in his heart.

Although the pearl hadn't recovered completely, these four strands of Zhen-Yuan-Qi would make no difference. Hence, it was better to use it for himself as well as to protect his family.

'Now I should cultivate,' Lin Yu muttered in his mind and wondered what cultivation technique he should use.

If there was no Nine-Heavens-Pearl with him, he might have cultivated some crude cultivation technique that would be beneficial to him and consume fewer resources, especially in a place like Earth where the spiritual Qi was thinner.

However, with the pearl being with him, he could nurture the herbs and also obtain some cultivation resources from it. There was also a spiritual Qi spring inside; hence, cultivating top-grade technique wasn't a problem.

It's just his body was weak and had a lot of impurities in it.

'I should start with body tempering first. It can help me expel the impurities as well as make me stronger while establishing a solid foundation for cultivation,' he decided and quickly found the best body tempering art.

It was named Primordial-Body-Tempering, and like the Nine-Heaven-Pearl, it was divine grade.

'This tempering technique had a total of seven basic stages: Skin Strengthening, Muscle Fortification, Bone Strengthening, Meridian Cleansing, Blood Purification, Organ Reinforcement, and lastly, Soul-Body Synchronization.'

'Although the difficulty is a bit high, the benefits are not less,' Lin Yu muttered in his heart and started to think about how he should start tempering his body.

Currently he was in the hospital; if he did something weird, he would only make his family worried. Moreover, once he achieved the first stage of skin strengthening, his skin injuries would recover immediately.

If the doctors saw this, they would treat him as a lab rat.

'I should get out of here as soon as I can,' he thought with a faint sigh, and decided to start tempering his body when he is discharged.

Click!

At this moment, a beautiful nurse around the age of twenty-four entered inside.

Lin Yu felt she was familiar and became a little stunned when he saw her resentful look.

However, it didn't take too long, and he remembered she was the one who screamed with tears.

"Cough! I am sorry for earlier," he apologized with a wry smile.

Hearing him Su Yan gritted her teeth with anger. When Lin Yu had grabbed her hand, she was really scared to death.

However, she didn't say anything to him and glanced at Lin Mei, who was sleeping in his arms with a peaceful look.

"I know she needs you, but for now you should avoid anything that will strain your body. Just let her lie down beside you, and that will be fine," she suggested.

In response, Lin Yu nodded and placed the little girl beside him.

"When will I get discharged?" he inquired immediately after that.

"I don't know. But you might get discharged in a few days if there is nothing wrong with your body," Su Yan replied as she observed the saline drips.

After this, she checked a few things, said a few words, and left the ward.

With nothing else to do, Lin Yu started to play with the little girl's hair while transferring a strand of Zhen-Yuan-Qi into her body.

The time flowed like this, and soon an hour passed.

At this moment the door of the ward room opened again.

"Dad," Lin Yu called out with a smile as he saw a middle-aged man sitting in the electric wheelchair.

"It's good that you're fine. Your mother and sister were both worried about you," Lin Zhen spoke with a relieved look.

Just like Xu Jing, he was also worried about his son and daughter. He even felt more pain as he couldn't take care of them.

Lin Yu saw through his thoughts and sighed inwardly.

He would really like to return to the time before the accident of his father happened; however, the chances of death were too high, and he might even lose his memories of the immortal realm when merging with the soul.

Compared to this, it was simpler and safer to return after the bus accident happened, as there was only a wisp of his soul left in the body while the other part traveled into the immortal world.

This also avoided the complications of merging and prevented any losses of memories from the immortal world.

As for his father's legs, as long as he cultivates enough or refines a high-level healing pill, this was just a temporary problem; hence, he decided not to take a risk.

"Where is Lin Yu? I heard he is awake!"

At this moment, a deep voice came from outside the ward.

Hearing this, Xu Jing's and Lin Zhen's expressions changed, and their faces became filled with anger.

Lin Yu noticed the change and was just about to ask when the door of the ward opened with a few figures striding inside.

"Sir, the patient has just woken up. You can't come here and question him," Su Yan spoke with a stiff tone.

"Humph! What patient? He is a criminal who kills people! What if he escapes after knowing the police found out about his crimes?"

A middle-aged woman shouted with anger. She was wearing cheap clothes, her hair was disheveled, and it didn't look like she had a good sleep these days.

"Police comrade Wu, you have to get justice for me today! He was the one who killed my mother!" Zhao Rui shouted with anger, pointing towards Lin Yu.

"Don't worry; getting justice is my motto!" Wu Zhang, a fat, middle-aged man in the police uniform, stated.

Behind him followed two male auxiliary police.

"Are you that Lin Yu? I heard you killed people in that bus accident; is it true?" Wu Zhang inquired in a condescending tone.
