The Painful Second Stage
The second stage of the True Gold Body Forging Arts was a cruel one.
One needed to cut open their flesh to reveal their bones and then pour the liquid gold inside to refine them. Both the act of cutting the flesh and pouring burning hot gold was inhuman to most people, and they wouldn't even imagine doing it.
Refining the gold for this stage was also a long process, since Lin Mu needed to reduce it to a quarter of its original volume. The amount of gold that he was refining for the second stage was 1506 kilograms, which was a significant amount.
Putting all that gold into the cauldron put it at about half of its capacity in the solid form and when it melted completely, it was about one third its capacity.
'Now come's the hard part…' Lin Mu thought and looked at little Shrubby. "You can stop heating it now. I need to do the rest of the parts myself. I'll tell you when I need you to heat it again." He spoke.
