This was the most basic but also the strongest technique developed by cultivating the body fortification manual. This was a protective layer that would cover the cultivator fully to protect him from harm.

When the cover was deployed the cultivator's defence would have been doubled, but Thai was just the effect brought by the initial success of cultivating the manual.

As the cultivator breakthrough ever tier or realm there would be qualitative change with the cover giving the cultivator more strength and defence.

There was another effect brought by cultivating this manual, which was dependent on what kind of element was selected for cultivating the manual.

Depending on the element as well as the purity of the spirit energy there would be different changes to the protective cover.

Thinking about this Knave got up from his place of cultivation and went ot the alchemy room as it was a place that could isolate any sound made during his experiments

After arriving he again deployed the body cover, as soon as the cover was deployed a pinkish colour could be seen on his body surface.

He went ahead with his experiment and started touching the isolating array on the wall, as soon as his protective cover made contact with the array, a sizzling sound could be heard in the surrounding.

As the sound was being made Knave could feel the toxic spirit energy inside his body meridians getting low at a very visible rate, according to his calculations his toxic spirit energy would only be able to sustain him for 15 minutes before he has to rest and refill it.

This was considered quite good as from the manual he knew that most cultivators could only maintain their protective cover for 5 minutes, so it was highly likely that it was because of the spiritual soul that he has such a unique mutation to his cover.

As for the features brought by the toxic spirit energy was obvious, it was a high concentration of the poison which had resulted in it having the feature to melt everything it touches, it was highly likely that when he deploys his protective cover during fights.

Any cultivators who doesn't have proper planning before would be not only be poisoned when they try touching him but their body parts which come in contact to his cover would likely melt away.

Still, it having the function of melting things has helped him for his future excuse. When his sister sees this pink colour cover she would be suspicious and would like to know why it was so.

At that time he could come up with a theory of having eaten a spirit herb with high potency for fire elements which has led to having his body cover mutate its colour to pink similar to the fruit he ate, he had read about this fruit from one of the alchemy books from the Elder Fryer's collection. The name of such a miraculous fruit was the Melting Blaze.

According to this book, the fruit contained huge amounts of fire element that could help during the cultivation of the body, if used to cultivate the spirit the amount of energy would be too much to handle and cause problems.

While for the body it could be slowly digested and thus help in improvement in the Mortal body realm. As for the Spirit body or Spirit refining stage, it was not recommended to use this fruit as it's results would be very minimal as such it would result in wastage of such resource.

Still, the main function of this fruit was not of improving the body or helping in breakthrough but of it helping in the mutation of the spirit energy coursing in the meridians.

The chances of such mutation happening were very low about 1 out of every 100 people who eat this fruit will have this possibility, and he was going to just say that he was lucky.
