Chapter 9: Imparting skill: transformation.

Even though blood came out from all over his body, the old senior preapred medicinal bath and medicinal soup daily.

After every training, he would take the medicine soup prepared by the old senior to drink and take medicinal bath prepared by the old senior. Both in and out, these medicinal ingredients are to make him stronger, sturdier and internal organs to be strongest than any living being out there.

Bearing the pain, Xin has no voice to complain, the pain is killing him, its like the ants are biting him daily. Every day he wonders when will the training be over.

After three months.

At morning, sun rises, birds chirping, sounds of river flow make the scenery beautiful.

Beside the river the old seniors talked and chatted happily and drank wine causally. Sometimes they would laugh and argue like a kiddo's.

Xin who was practicing wearing weights, now he has become adapt to it. His skin has become like iron, as fish bones are unable to peirce through. Thanks to the old seniors medication and help.

After finishing the dawn session, he starts running at his own rhythym, collecting medicine materials, and washes up.

He practices swimming three times a day. Practicing swimming after the morning session of training is over, in afternoon and in evening. There is no exception. Weights are compulsory.

Since this practice has started. He wears only underpants other parts of body are naked. So no need for change of clothes.

After drying himself in fire, he starts cutting the medicinal herbs in a certain rhythym. Its very pleasing to the eye. You can see that even though there are weights attached, the cutting of medicinal herbs are at a certain pace and cuts very neatly, uniformly and transparently while holding the cleaver.

After that he cooks he scouped a bowl for himself and two seniors. He is always grateful to them. Neither he asks too many questions when they ask him to do after all he is in developing stage.

After having the food, the old soul gave him a jug of soul wine. Xin nowadays drinks soul wine which he can relax from time to time making his soul transform at a certain speed. Everytime he completes task, or rather gives him an impression to them, the old aoul would reward him a jug of soul wine.

First time when he drank, he was drunk and fell down. Now his capacity has increased alot even of he drinks 200,000 jugs in his state, he never falls down. Even though his spiritual powers have been blocked. He always feels good and satisfactory.

Uptill now he has drunk a total of 500,000 jugs of soul wine. The fruit wine he preapres also made with the help of old soul by clarifying the doubts he got.

For example fermenting a wild fruit, needs to be washed then cut into pieces dry it in the sun for hours during the day then smoke it with bone fire at night for 3 days and 3 nights, then put on the pot with semi boiled four-patterned clover leaf and let it disintegrate between them for 2 days. After that there put some herbs, medicinal matertials, fruit juices and some water.

After doing this the lid is sealed for nearly 100 days, then bask it in the sun for 3 days and boil it slowly at night for 2 days and wine is done.

When he drank it for first time it was a wonderful experience as he has never drunk wine before, except soul wine.

He also gave a jug of wine to both the old seniors and couldn't help comment and they were happy. It seems that they will not be bored on the road of cultivation and in the future.

Wonders which is better, soul wine or fruit wine?

If one's soul were to be injured or wants to break through, then soul wine is best.

If one wants to casually enjoy the feast or stare at the stars at night then fruit wine is best.

But it doesn't apply for him, though he gets the soul wine from old soul from time to time. Its a bit prodigial.

Now not much fruit wine has left. It seems that he has to gather fruits and start making again.

Eventhough he inherited all the skills of old soul from making dishes to wines,there is a certain limits. For example the soul wine he drinks are made of heaven and earth medicinal materials which are too rare to find. Even if he finds, he must reach the Enlightened Being to make this wine. So strength is also important for making exiquiste dishes and immortal wines.

After finishing today's practice, he stood up for a walk as its afternoon. At evening, he starts jogging to warm up his body daily. It has become a routine for him to practice both morning and evening. On the banks of river, both the old seniors discussed something.

"Old senior, do you think its time for him to practice martial skills?" The old soul asked.

"I think its mostly time. Then which skill do you think is appropiate? As far as Ii can see, he has no interest in swords or spears or sticks or sabers. He has only interest in this bow and that cleaver." The old man said vividly.

"Its true what you said. Most people in the cultivational world, use swords, sabers, spears, axe, sticks. As for bow no one uses it. Only few people uses it. And mostly even refiners are dominated by swords and sword skills. Maybe this is a good idea, we can make him use bow for long distance combat and knife to kill for close combat. As for hand to hand I think you have it in your space store. Let him choose it from there. Ahh I forgot to add this training method "swimming and breathing in water." The old soul said.

"This, this, isn't this turtle breathe, do you think he can practice with his spiritual powers blocked?" The old senior asked him.

"Thats right, I forgot that I have blocked his meridians." The old soul laughed bitterly.

"As for now I think the best to pratice is transformation skill. Don't you think so." The old senior asked.

"Yes, thats right, lets impart this skill first." The old soul noded his head and agreed.

Then they both came to where Xin was holding the bow and pratcising in horse stance position.

As two seniors approached, he stopped and bowed them respectfully, then suddenly, without any warning the old senior imparted the transformation skill into his mind.
