First Stage Of Body Tempering

"Hiss! The difficulty is really high," Lin Yu couldn't help but mutter with a grunt.

Currently he was standing in the middle of Spiritual Qi Spring doing some weird set of exercises.

The Primordial Body Tempering had a total of seven stages, with each of them having their own sets of exercises.

Lin Yu was doing the first set of them, which was for skin strengthening. It looked like a simple set of exercises; however, it was very hard to execute it.

Moreover, he had just done a few steps of the exercise, yet he was hit with unimaginable pain. This pain was no different than getting stung by millions of bees.

Then to add something more to this suffering, there was his skin, which was getting stretched to the limit. If Lin Yu ignored this and continued with the set of exercises, then his skin was bound to tear off.

"I knew it was going to be hard with my mortal body, but this is a bit too much," Lin Yu shook his head with a wry smile.

Nevertheless, he didn't give up and continued with the next movements.

If anyone looked at him, they would think he was doing some kind of ancient Tai Chi, yoga, or some weird self-made exercise.

However, in the eyes of Lin Xian'er, every movement of Lin Yu was filled with profoundness and mysterious feeling.

No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't recall how he did such movements.

'Master is really heaven-defying!' she thought with stars in her eyes.

However, it didn't take too long, and those stars were replaced with worry as she saw Lin Yu's skin tearing here and there with blood flowing out like a small stream.

Although she knew his life wouldn't be in danger, she still couldn't help but worry as Lin Yu had lost all of his cultivation and supernatural powers from the immortal world.

Moreover, she was also no different. If her core hadn't been injured and she still had all the supernatural abilities from the immortal world, helping Lin Yu would have been a piece of cake.

However, she can't do anything now even if she wants.

Cough!

It was at this moment Lin Yu spat out a mouthful of dark blood, and his face became deathly pale.

Moreover, with how much blood he was losing, his body was trembling with weakness.

Fortunately, he had trained his mortal body from a young age, so although it was becoming weak, he could still persist; if not, all the previous efforts would become useless.

'Just a little more!' Lin Yu gritted his teeth and continued to do the first set of exercises with determination no matter how much pain he felt.

In the cultivation world, he had faced many dangers and more pain than this, so he didn't care even if his body was being torn and blood was flowing like water.

Boom!

As soon as Lin Yu completed the first set of exercises, a thundering sound echoed from his body, and a warm current spread through his whole skin.

It didn't take too long, and all the injuries sustained from the exercise recovered completely; even the scars left by the bus accident disappeared without any trace.

However, his face still remained pale as the first set of exercises only healed his skin, not the blood he had lost or the muscles that were damaged doing this exercise.

"Master, hurry and sit down in the Spiritual Qi Spring! It can heal your internal injuries!" Lin Xian'er spoke hastily.

Lin Yu knew this already, so he nodded at her and then sat down in the spring, letting the pure stream of water seep inside his body.

Once again a warm feeling washed over him, and his internal injuries started to recover along with his mental state.

'Just a normal water for the immortal world can help me recover all injuries,' Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh faintly.

In the immortal world, the water from the spiritual qi spring was used to irrigate herbs, and it was not rare. It's not like he disdains to use it, but he felt how weak his body was now to get healed by such water.

"Master, are you planning to do the exercise once again?" Lin Xian'er couldn't help but ask as she saw him getting up and fixing his stance.

"Xian'er, there is still a lot of improvement remaining in the skin strengthening. Unless I completely reach the limit, I will continue with this," Lin Yu replied with a nod.

The primordial body tempering wasn't a simple one. It could continue to raise his physical body at an extraordinary level.

Of course there were limitations. Such as Lin Yu could only temper his body at the mortal level for now. He could go further, but he had to start cultivating first or need an excellent opportunity.

Hearing his words, Lin Xian'er couldn't help but worry. It was fine for him to bleed this heavily one or two times, but it can't continue always; if not, he will harm himself.

Just as she was about to express her worry, Lin Yu spoke with a smile.

"My skin had been strengthened just now, so I won't bleed that heavily this time, and as long as I continue doing the first set, the bleeding will stop eventually," he assured her.

After which he didn't delay any time and started to do the first set of exercises again and again.

Just like this, three days passed inside the miniature world.

With spiritual qi spring keeping Lin Yu's body and mind at peak energy, there was no need to sleep, so Lin Yu had been doing the first set for a whole three days without any breaks.

He had already reached the bottleneck of skin strengthening a few hours ago; however, he didn't move on to the next set and continued with the first one to make sure he was at the absolute limit.

Only after he was sure that he couldn't improve did he stop doing the first set.

"Compared to my prime, I am too weak; however, the strength I had at this stage is much different," Lin Yu muttered as he slashed a sharp knife against his arm.

Ding!

As soon as the knife came in contact with his skin, it stopped, not moving any further and not leaving any mark on his skin.

However, it did hurt a little as his muscles and bones were not strengthened yet.

'I should at least reach the third stage of bone strengthening in these two days with that; I don't have to fear any cold weapons,' he thought to himself before entering the bathroom of the wooden house and washing himself up.

He was already handsome before, so with his skin getting an upgrade, it was whiter and smoother than before.

"That little girl will probably hate me if I have finer skin than her," Lin Yu couldn't help but smile to himself as he imagined Lin Mei glaring at him resentfully.

Just as he was busy in his thoughts, a shout came from outside the bathroom.

"Master! Someone is knocking on the door!"

Lin Xian'er was informed with panic as she heard the knocks getting louder.

"Xian'er, send me out." Lin Yu didn't delay and came out of the bathroom in his towel.

Lin Xian'er couldn't help but become stunned as she saw his smooth and white skin; however, she didn't waste any time and waved her hand, sending Lin Yu back to his room.

"Master had become more handsome now," she muttered to herself with a slightly embarrassed look.

…

"Brother! Open the door now; if not, I will break it into pieces!" Lin Mei shouted as she pounded on the door angrily.

It had been a total of three hours since she was captured by her father. He didn't let her go upstairs at all because he was afraid she would bother Lin Yu.

So why did he let her go now? It was to wake him up and ask him to get ready for dinner.

Yes, it was almost night as Lin Yu had arrived home at four in the evening.

Click!

As soon as Lin Yu opened the door, he found a little girl staring at him angrily, then with a stunned look.

"How did you become so handsome? What medicines did the doctors give you?" Lin Mei couldn't help but ask with a pout as she saw his skin.

Although before opening the door Lin Yu had worn his pants, his chest was still bare naked as the little girl was getting too impatient, giving him no choice but to open the door.

"Why do you care about my skin? Also, is this how you wake your sick brother?" Lin Yu inquired with a cold look.

But Lin Mei didn't seem to see this and examined his hand closely.

"Smelly brother, you weren't this white before we came home! Tell me, what did you do? Are you using some secret soap? Or body lotion? Where is it? Give me that!" She extended her little arm, commanding as if she were a boss.

Lin Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes at her before pinching her cheeks painfully.

"What is a little girl like you going to do with such things? Also, why did you come here? Don't tell me it's just to bother me," he questioned with an angry look.
