Ru Chan's excitement had gone through the roof. Void mythic bones! And high-grade ones at that.
Void Mythic bones could be considered as Rank 3 Mythic bones out of Rank 5. They were much rarer than other mythic bones of the same rank and were comparable to rank 4 mythic bones.
At this point, Ru Chan was grinning from ear to ear. The benefits this single pill had brought to him was unimaginable. Not even those rich elites could imagine receiving such treatment, as their clans couldn't afford to give it out.
However, Ru Chan had received it, not to mention the fact that he could make it possible. If the information was made known outside, the uproar it would cause would definitely put him in danger for the rest of his life.
He would probably be hunted down and locked up to rear powerful transformation pills like an animal.
At the thought of this, a chill went down his spine as he shuddered slightly.
"This ability is too godly, I must make sure it remains hidden until am powerful enough to protect myself". Ru Chan said inwardly. Such a powerful ability must be kept hidden from the world and used for his use.
His imagination began to run wild as he wondered how powerful anything he amplified would be like.
With a thought, Ru Chan's status screen appeared before his eyes.
Name – Ru Chan
Special Affinity – Purple Demon Flame Affinity
<< Affinity Talent Core: High level >>
Cultivation Level – 4th Phase dantian Establishment Realm
<< Cultivation Talent Root: Green Core (39)>>
Body Cultivation – 3rd Stage Skin Tempering
<< Spiritual Cultivation – Nascent Soul Level (88)>>

<< Mana - >>

"Haha! Green core! Not only can I cultivate, but my Talent has also advance to the innate Green Core. Despite not being the highest level of all green cores, it's still a green core regardless and much better than a (99) Yellow Core".
A smirk appeared on his lips. He had officially stepped into the Stage for cultivators. How could he not be happy?
In this world, the levels of power were dependent on one's cultivation. The higher your level of cultivation, the stronger you get when you advance between levels and breaking through realms. One could cultivate through sensing and absorbing the Qi in the atmosphere. High-level cultivators can shatter rocks, run at extreme speeds and obtain special Martial skills.
With a higher innate core, breaking through realms was definitely a lot easier.
Previously, he would have been happy to be a normal cultivator with the ability to defend himself. However, that was in the past.
Not only was he a cultivator, but he was also an affinity master.
Unlike normal cultivators, Affinity masters were individuals with elemental abilities.
(Basically, they are like elementals in video games)
Not only were their cultivation speeds faster than normal cultivators, but their power and strength enabled them to fight cultivators of higher levels.
It was no exaggeration to say that Ru Chan had basically risen into the heavens with a single step. He had decent talent, an elemental affinity, high-grade Affinity core and rank 3 Mythic bones comparable to Rank 4 mythic bones.
In a backwater place like Raincore continent, he could be considered as a rare genius. However, he wasn't satisfied with that.
According to his memories, Affinity martial Lord Ren Lao was a heavenly genius that could only be seen once in a thousand years. Despite not having Mythic Bones, he had special meridians as well as an Innate Indigo colored Core.
His achievements in Alchemy and War crafting were the icing on the cake. However, with his powerful ability, Ru Chan was sure that he would be able to surpass him, one way or another.
The Void Mythic bones hummed within his body as it was nourished by the profound energy emitted from the medicinal pill. Ru Chan instantly realized that the properties of the pill had not been fully digested. Only a little more than 40%.
All that energy had been used to temper his foundations and strengthen his weak body drastically. With such a sturdy body, it would be child's play to cross levels and fight powerful enemies.
At this point, Ru Chan could no longer remain calm. The power of the Rebirth pill had yet to dissipate and with the energy remaining, his cultivation speed would definitely soar to a whole new level.
BANG!
Startled, he looked towards the door that had been barged through with a stunned expression. Standing at the door was Tang Ning.
"Brother Chan, what happened to you that you yelled? Did something….". Tang Ning abruptly stopped when she saw Ru Chan's appearance. Not only was his skin covered in black gunk, but there was also blood on his clothes as well as on the floor.
Cough! Cough!
The putrid smell caught her off guard as it assaulted her nostrils, causing her to cough violently and pinch her nose.
"What the heck!" Ru Chan finally noticed that he wasn't exactly in the best condition. That was normal, as he had just finished expelling the impurities from his body.
However, despite already knowing what it was, he couldn't help but feel like puking. His whole self smelled like shit, and he could barely hold in his urge.
He got up from the floor as he barely held himself back.
"Ahhh! Brother Chan…. Are you okay? What happened to you? And why do you smell so awful?"
Ru Chan let out a wry smile. His body really was covered in impurities, and it looked like he had bathed in dark mud.
"It's nothing bad, Sister Ning. Although I smell... Horrendous, this is actually a good thing. My body has been cleansed and the impurities within it has been expelled. That is this black stuff you see on me and now, my physical body is better than ever. Furthermore, I can finally cultivate!"
Ru Chan answered with a smile. Although he smelled terrible, it wasn't bad enough to ruin his good mood. However, that didn't mean he was going to stay like this.
"You, You What?"
"I will explain everything later, sister Ning'er. But for now, can you please help me get some bath water so I can clean myself up? Or would you prefer me to stink like this?"
Without asking any further questions, Tang Ning fled the room immediately like a frightened rabbit.
Ru Chan just stood there in the room, awkward and dumbfounded.
...........
Twenty minutes later, Ru Chan lay in a bath barrel with both of his eyes closed. His expression was peaceful, as he had never felt his body in such a good condition. His fair, unblemished skin was supple and spotless to an extent that would make females jealous.
As for his facial features, they had become more refined and dazzling. His purple eyes gave off a charming vibe that greatly complimented his handsome appearance.
His features were not too far off from almost becoming feminine. Sighing, Ru Chan pursed his lips as a feeling of satisfaction brushed last his eyes before being replaced by pure ambition.
Earlier, Tang Ning had taken care of his bath water, It was filled to the brim and cold as well. However, Ru Chan didn't feel cold in the slightest. Currently, his physical body was no longer at the standard of a regular human and normal cold was not something he could feel.
After rinsing his body, he leaped out of the bath barrel and stood in front of the mirror. His physical body condition was leaps and bounds above what it used to be, as his former pale and scrawny body was replaced with a flawless, muscular physique.
Not only had his physical condition improved, but the current him could be likened to a hunk. It was 100% more appealing and able-bodied than it was 30 minutes ago.
Feeling the difference, he couldn't help but laugh as little as he could feel the explosive transformation within him. His strength and speed were at a whole other level from what it was an hour ago. Not to mention, this was the first time he had a proper look at his own facial features.
Fair skin, fierce yet dark purple eyes, small pointed nose and a hair full of dark hair. His curved eyebrows perfectly blended with his facial features. Not to mention, his aura had changed drastically.
After assimilating Ren Lao's memories, his entire bearing and temperament had changed greatly. He gave off a charming and Ethereal feeling, almost like no one could see through him. His bearing gave off a flickering presence like an invisible mountain that was hard to notice yet impossible to ignore.
A deep and profound presence that was hard to peer into and contained endless mysteries.
This was the effect caused by obtaining the Void mythic bones in addition to Ren Lao's aura. If not, he would practically be able to become invisible even when standing right beside someone.
Ru Chan nodded his head in approval of himself. He had suppressed the effects of the medicinal pill earlier,, so he could take a small break from cultivation.
He walked towards the door where a set of male clothes were laid. Tang Ning had personally gone out to obtain these clothes despite what little money she had left with her, as he couldn't wear his old clothes.
Ru Chan couldn't help but feel grateful to this girl who was charmingly generous to someone she barely knew. With the feeling of warmth in his heart, he put on his clothes as his eyes gave out a determined gaze.
"Time to repay back a debt!" Since he had the ability, then he didn't see anything stopping him from doing so.
Ru Chan quickly got dressed in his new clothes and walked out of the room. The first place he went to was his abode, not to start cultivating just yet, but to do something else.
"Let's see if I can get something similar!" He thought to himself as he placed one of the pills in his palms. A smile was etched on his face as he willed what he wanted in his mind.
<< Tempering pill/ Purity 29%/ Rank: Grade 9 >>
Just like last time, it first displayed the properties of the pill itself without much description to it…. And then....."
<< Grade 9 Tempering pill has been detected/ Do you wish to apply skill, Random Amplification? >>
Ru Chan immediately agreed without a second thought. And just like the first pill, the healing pill in his hands was covered by a white halo that depicted its enhancement.
A few moments later…
<< Host has successfully triggered 1000 times amplification, Congratulations, You have obtained Grade 7 Low-level Tempering pill >>
<< Scarlet Tempering Pill/ Purity: 93%/ Rank: Grade 7 Low level >>
<< When taken, tempers the body of a martial artist to an uncommon degree. When tempered, the body is resistant to common knives and low-level Grade 9 weapons >>
"This... Isn't right!" Ru Chan frowned slightly. Although the purity of this pill was definitely extraordinary with the function of being able to resist some low-level grade 9 weapons, its effects were far off from the Marrow rebirth pill.
"Looks like the amplification really is random". Ru Chan sighed helplessly. Picking up the last pill, he he'd it in his hand as he waited for the cooldown to end in ten minutes.
Looking at the last pill in his hand, Ru Chan didn't immediately amplify it and gave a small prayer.
"Oh Amitabha, Buddha, and the goddess of luck. Please!..... Help a man out!"
"System Amplify".
The same white lights covered the last pill, causing Ru Chan's face to be covered with a little anxiousness. What he wanted was something on the same level as the Marrow Rebirth Pill, not for himself, but for Tang Ning.
<< Host has successfully triggered 4000 times amplification. You have obtained a Grade 5 medicinal pill, A Hundred Meridians Cleansing Pill >>
<< Hundred Meridians cleansing Pill/ Purity 94%/ Rank: Grade 5 >>
<< A pill that cleanses the meridians and expels impurities to present a clean and fit body for cultivation. There is a 15% Chance to increase innate talent and obtain the Rank 1 Special Physique 'Untainted Body" >>
"That's better!" Ru Chan's eyes lit up. Although it was only a 15% chance, it was better than nothing. Furthermore, whether she obtained the physique or not, she would still experience an overall increase in cultivation speed due to the expulsion of impurities.
It was a win situation without any drawbacks.
Rapidly, Ru Chan left his room to go and find Tang Ning. When he arrived, she was sitting in the living room with both her legs crossed, seemingly in a cultivation state.
Nodding, Ru Chan inwardly thought how hardworking this girl was and secretly admired her. At the same time.
