Chapter 5 Change In innate talent, Consecutive breakthroughs

For a while, Ru Chan was unable to calm down. But no one would blame him, literally anyone else would be dumbstruck seeing how a low grade medicinal pill skipped levels from grade 9 to grade 3.

Grade 9 being the lowest and grade 1 being the highest.

Just to be sure that his eyes weren't playing tricks on him, Ru Chan scanned the newly amplified medicinal pill again.

<< Heaven Marrow Rebirth Pill/ Purity: 95%/ Rank: Grade 3 >>

<< Effects: can strengthen the user's body to an uncommon degree. A pill capable of enabling the user to undergo inner body rebirth, enhancement of inner body strength and cleansing of the meridians and boosting>>

Ru Chan couldn't believe his eyes. Not only was this pill a superior version of its former self, but he was sure that even Martial Lord Ren Lao could not create a pill with such a strong positive effect.

After being flabbergasted, Ru Chan was overjoyed. With this, his confidence had greatly increased, not to mention the fact that this new ability was just too outstanding.

He couldn't help but breathe in sharply. Too overpowered! And at the same time, he laughed heartily at his good fortune. Since the system didn't kill him, it would definitely help him with this perilous world.

Ru Chan almost wanted to shove the whole thing down his throat, but ultimately forced himself to calm down.

If he just ate the medicinal pill like that, the consequences would be severe. First, his body was too weak and the medicinal efficacy of a pill this high graded had a 99% chance of making him explode if he ate it rashly.

First thing first, he had to understand his body's current capability, so using his spiritual power, Ru Chan inspected his body constitution.

He was scrutinizing every inch of his body to see just how bad his current body situation was.

After a while, he opened his eyes and sighed. His body condition was really trash currently, in fact, he was even weaker than the average 12-year-old. If he took the medicinal pill now, there was no doubt that all his organs would bleed, causing his untimely death.

<< 50% weakness debuff, reduces physical stats by half >>

If he wanted to digest this pill, he needed a way to suppress the effects, so he wouldn't have to bear everything at once. There were only two ways he could accomplish that.

The first was to have a powerful cultivator expend his Qi to suppress the medicinal effects while he digests the efficacy little by little. Or, he cultivates a powerful cultivation technique that could help him refine the medicinal pill at an extremely fast rate.

The first option was definitely out of the question. The second however..... Ru Chan's eyes lit up.

"It really is such a pity that your schemes never succeeded due to the appearance of the system. But I really have to thank you.

"Not only did I not lose anything, but all your life's memories will aid me very well on my journeys".

With Ren Lao's memories, all his cultivation techniques, martial arts manuals, knowledge, and even his affinities were now at his disposal.

"Hahaha!" He let out another bout of laughter. Then he calmed down and began searching through the memories he had received.

"There are many cultivation methods in Ren Lao's memories, from low-grade Qi cultivation techniques to high-level affinity techniques. However, since I have no talent in cultivation, I might as well try to raise the level of my affinity. The Primordial Sovereign Affinity Technique is both a cultivation and affinity refinement technique of the highest grade. Even if I can't cultivate, circulating it will definitely help me refine the Marrow rebirth pill".

Sitting crossed legged, Ru Chan didn't hesitate anymore after choosing, and threw the medicinal pill into his mouth and swallowed.

BOOM! Sitting cross-legged, Ru Chan could clearly feel his whole body become numb as the pill slowly began its dissolution in his blood stream. The sensation was… Rather pleasant, in fact, it was almost painless, so much that Ru Chan couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Normally, pills made to temper the body were certainly not pleasant and didn't have such a good taste and aftereffect. Presently, he felt like all his bones and blood vessels were undergoing a heavenly massage, meanwhile, he remembered that when Ren Lao tried to temper his body with a pill, his face was as pale as a white sheet due to the pain he endured.

"The Painful process, has actually been eradicated!" Ru Chan couldn't help but gasp. However, he didn't think too much of it, as during the process of tempering the body was usually the best time to cultivate.

A warm feel spread through his body and the sensation surged through his body. He could feel that his bones and limbs were being strengthened to a much higher degree.

However, this blissful feeling didn't last for long as the medicinal pill suddenly exploded in his body, sending waves of vast True Qi into every part of his body. The medicinal efficacy ran rampant through his meridians, and the energy released pounded his internal organs like a sledgehammer.

"Pugh!" Ru Chan couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood as his pale face turned as white as a ghost.

"Fuck!! I didn't expect this!" He yelled inwardly as he quickly circulated the primordial Sovereign Affinity technique.

The efficacy was too powerful for someone of his level to absorb. Surely, he had to pay a price. Luckily, he had reacted in time as the cultivation technique was circulated. The vast amounts of energy that were running amok were swept along the circulation, greatly relieving the pain. However, it still hurt like hell.

His clothes turned blood-red as multiple cracks appeared on his skin. Ru Chan bit his lips so hard that blood flowed like an overturned jug of water, while using all his willpower to prevent himself from screaming.

Alongside the blood, was a lot of black gunk also commonly known as impurities.

<< Congratulation on a successful body refinement. You have made a breakthrough in your body cultivation >>

< < Due to your consumption of the Heavenly Marrow Rebirth pill, all your organs have undergone rebirth. Your aptitude, physical stats, and Innate talent have all increased >>

<<You have successfully obtained Void Ghost Mythic Bones >>

<< You have successfully created your Dantian, you have broken through Dantian Establishment 1st Phase >>

<< Congratulations, You have broken through Dantian establishment 2nd phase Creation >>

The power of the Rebirth pill cleansed his internal organs and reverberated through his bones and limbs. If Ru Chan's eyes were open to observe his natural body condition right now, he would be horrified to see the large amounts of impurities and blood that had spread throughout the floor.

However, he would also be astonishingly shocked to see that his physical body was becoming transparent. At this point, the pill had washed away all his body impurities, causing his body to seem ethereal.

His pale skin turned almost translucent as he opened his eyes. His previously purple colored eyes now had a devilish purple glow which stood in contrast to his seemingly fading body.

A white mist started to form around him as the space surrounding him trembled slightly while a small void portal opening behind him. This caused Ru Chan to be extremely shocked.

"Void Ghost Mythic Bones!" His eyes widened inexplicably as he could feel his heart pounding. Mostly due to the intense pain, but also because of excitement.

After assimilating Ren Lao's memories, he was no longer a clueless nobody with very little cultivation knowledge. As of now, he could be said to be one of the most knowledgeable people in this world.

In the Cultivation world, what separated Normal cultivators from geniuses? It was the several natural advantages that had been granted to them either from birth or due to the use of some Divine treasure or fortunate encounter.

Such advantages that separated them from normal cultivators could be summed up in a few words.

Legacy

Bloodlines

Affinities

Special meridians

Special Physiques

Mythic Bones

Mythic Blood

Innate Abilities

Martial Spirits

Soul Weapons

If anyone of these appeared on an individual with a decent cultivation talent, then their label of a normal person would be thrown to the wind, and they would don on the status of geniuses.

Out of all such fortunate encounters, the lowest one would be Legacies. These Legacies were usually special rewards left down by previously powerful cultivators who decided to leave them down for someone to inherit.

However, the advantage of legacies couldn't be compared to the others, as they were simply not natural benefits that could be embedded into the legacy holder.

Legacy rewards could typically range from an increase in their cultivation realm, to special techniques and powerful secret arts and skills once used by the legacy giver as well as his fortune and so on.

However, that was it. There would not be any other benefits. Then again, there would always be skills and secret arts that were just as powerful or probably more powerful than those legacy arts and skills obtained by other people. So in that case, against other geniuses with innate advantages, there were not that impressive.

(Benefits of the other Genius Oddities will be explained later)

As for the Void Mythic bones, they were High grade Mythic bones that granted its user special innate skills. Not only would it help in faster absorption of Qi and Mana, but its special innate skills could only be learned by its owners or people with similar mythic bones.

At this point, all the bones within Ru Chan's body had been destroyed and reformed into void mythic bones. The special innate skills contained within allowed it to be on par with mythic bones of a higher grade in terms of usefulness.

Ru Chan, who was only expecting to increase his body strength, had never expected to encounter such a powerful medicinal pill. The effects were too godlike, especially for a mere grade 6 medicinal pills.

He was sure that Even a grade 1 medicinal pill wouldn't have such wonderful effects.

"Holy Son of cultivation! Hahaha! I did it! I'm a cultivator now!" Ru Chan let out his frustrations as he opened his eyes to feel the surrounding changes. When he saw the countless piled up notifications on his screen, he couldn't help but yell in joy.

His talent aptitude had increased and what's more, he had become a cultivator. His previous translucent body had gone back to normal, and his pale skin was nowhere to be seen. His body now had a rosy complexion, as if blood were flowing throughout his body vigorously.

<< 50% weakness debuff, reduces physical stats by half, Has been removed >>

<< Your status is now completely healthy >>

Feeling the endless bursts of energy flowing through his body, Ru Chan couldn't help but grin widely.

"That Fucking weakness is gone! From today henceforth, i Ru Chan am a healthy man. Look out, cultivation world, here I come."
