The Fearless Mortal Shedding Technique

Since the moment the Old Monk had passed all the information concerning the legacy of Shangri La, unto him; Ji Min knew that if the old monk called himself the second-best instructor on this planet, then no one in their right mind would dare call themselves the best.

But he was someone who could read others' moods and pick the best possible timing to strike, and today, right at that moment, he felt the time was ripe and he struck whilst the iron was hot, and it did yield him a positive result.

[Young lord, if I may?]

[Sure Sensei, you may.]

Ji Min answered giving the Old Monk a new name =which we will all be calling him from now on=; and immediately, he felt a feeling of joy spread through his chest, causing him to realize that Sensei's consciousness seem to have a deeper level of influence on him than he initially thought.

[The Fearless Mortal Shedding technique requires that the outer membrane of every cell within its user's body be peeled off and exposed to a very dense and potent Qi.] Sensei resumed his explanation;

[Every cell within the human body considers itself to be the guardian of its host's life force, and as a result, it would do anything mystically possible to protect them.

Thus, whenever these cells come in contact with a force greater than their capabilities, they would enter what we call the death-evolution cycle.

During this cycle, all the cells in the affected area would prefer to absorb the intruding force to strengthen themselves and gain a level of immunity or resistance towards it; other cells would instead choose to self-destruct, with the aim of dragging the intruder with them to death.

But the surviving cells would become stronger and finally become immune to the intruding force.

Thus, imagine how a cell that had been wounded from a llife-and-death battle with the external force will react when it comes in contact with the life energy present within the natural Qi.

It's just as you have thought young lord; they will greedily absorb all the Qi in the atmosphere and evolve.

Though some will die, the ones that survived would gain superhuman capabilities.

That moment exactly is the best for someone who is looking to reopen his meridians.]

Ji Min sighed as he began to get a scope of what he was about to go through and the benefits that come with it.

[Just like the Warrior stage of Body Cultivation, the treatment would also follow the same path; seeking to strengthen its user from the outside in.] Sensei explained as Ji Min's eyes suddenly widened in enlightenment;

[Oh, are you trying to make me immune to all the venoms of the Tranquil Poison during this period as well?] Ji Min asked.

[As long as you can endure the process, young lord; this would be the best decision and greatest gamble of your life.] Sensei answered.

After their dialogue ended, Ji Min made his choice after Sensei had given him a few minutes to brood on it, but to Ji Min, his decision was a no-brainer, and he only answered with three words;

'Just Do It!'

To him, there were many benefits to the treatment he was about to undergo;

Firstly, there was the probability of unlocking a higher meridian than the spirit realm if he managed to sense the energy of that realm within the natural Qi around him.

Secondly, there was also the guarantee of being immune to every single one of the more than thirty venoms that made up the tranquil poisoning;

Then finally, it was a very good way to increase the levels of his pain tolerance.

The only issue was that he had to stay awake throughout the process because he ridiculously thought about strengthening every inch of his body, including the four balls on his body.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Ji Min's thoughts were interrupted by a knock on his door;

"Come in."

He replied as the twins entered walking so close to each other that it seemed they wanted to enter themselves from the side.

"What is it?"

Ji Min asked with a tone that was slightly displeased; he was so busy thinking about his future and he didn't want to be interrupted for too long and allow important ideas and questions to slip past him.

[I think your welcome was a little too harsh there.] Sensei pointed out; obviously, he could understand the situation clearly.

As someone who had lived for so long, he knew the little girls were simply crushing on Ji Min which to him was perfectly normal since they were of opposite gender and were having this feeling for; most likely, the first time.

But whilst the bold and extroverted Ming could easily hide hers by being relatively active.

The timid and introverted Qing, on the other hand, was appearing sluggishly shy and trembling anxiously; a reality which was evident from the way she was fiddling with her fingers.

Ji Min also realized that he had been a little too hard and thus, he quickly covered it up with a smile that made Little Qing hide her face behind Little Ming who seemed to be sweating bullets and breathing a little too raggedly;

"Why is it so hot in here? ~phew~"

She wiped the perspiration on her forehead with the back of her hands whilst Little Qing peeked from behind her.

"Ming, are you alright? I can hear your heartbeat all the way from here."

Ji Min wasn't lying, his senses were very keen being a cultivator who had ascended to the second level of both cultivation paths.

"Eh? O-oh right, it is time for breakfast, so Qing and I tried to see who would arrive atop the plateau first. Isn't that right Sister Qing?" Little Ming lied with a shaky thumbs-up and a fake laugh.

Qing nodded to the question with the bravest face she could muster, causing Little Ming to heave a relieved sigh; but the air in her throat got stuck when she heard Ji Min's next question;

"So why are you all sweaty and panting whilst Little Qing isn't?"
