Chapter 1 - Ancient Pill

Chapter 1 - Ancient Pill

Grey Cloud Town, Feng Family Courtyard.


The sun rose from the east and only half of its head could be seen. There were still drops of water on the leaves of the trees, but the sounds of sword strikes could be heard in the dense forest behind the mountain.


A seventeen-year-old young man holding a three-feet-long wooden sword, practicing his sword skills in the forest. The Young man had sharp eyebrows and eyes, although he dressed in simple clothes, his expression was serious, and he was immersed in practicing his sword.


The sword Arts he practiced was only the basic Sword Arts. Although the moves were ordinary, every single move in the Basic Sword Arts was perfectly demonstrated by the young man. His name was Feng Yun.


Slashing the sword, lifting the sword, sweeping the sword?. Every single move and seemingly simple Swords Arts seemed to glow with youth in Feng Yun's hands, especially the wooden sword in his hands. From its initial wooden color, it had already transformed into a pure black, exuding a strong sense of history.


However, after completing the set of Sword Arts, Feng Yun's complexion instantly paled, and at the same time, a look of unwillingness flowed out of his eyes: "The quality of the body, as expected is still unable to keep up, just a basic set of Swords Arts is already unbearable, the heaven is unfair."


After speaking, he tidied up the wooden sword, turned around, and walked toward the Feng family.


Feng Yun is a member of the Feng family. He is the son of one of the six elders from the Feng family. Feng Yun's father Feng Luzong is a true talent, when Feng Luzong was 40 years old, he achieved Spirit Gathering Realm and become one of the strongest martial experts in the family.


The Feng family is only the martial arts family in the Gray Cloud town. Gray Cloud town has more than five thousand people, aside from some travelers, other people are related to the Feng family, so the Feng family could be said to be the local tyrants.


In the world, martial arts had spawned a splendid civilization. Formidable warriors performed cultivation to reach the peak of martial arts in order to do great things like moving the mountains, draining the seas, or slicing through the mountains. They could even prolong their lifespan indefinitely.


Feng Yun started cultivation from 8 years old, now it has been already ten years passed, but his cultivation base still stays in Body Refining 1st layer initial stage, this simply was trash compared to others of his age. Feng Yun has already being seen as a cripple person in the family. No matter how much effort Feng Yun put into the cultivation, his strength had not increased a bit.


But Feng Yun did not give up on the cultivation, he has been practicing daily for ten years. After ten whole years of tempering, Although it did not increase his cultivation but Feng Yun's will had become incomparably firm, especially his desire to become strong, it was stronger than anyone else's on his age.


Body Refinement Realm is divided into Nine Layers, first 3-layers tempering blood and flesh, the middle 3-layers tempering muscles and bones, last 3-layers tempering internal organs. After crossing the nine layers of body refining, next come in, introducing more Heaven & Earth Spirit Qi into the body, connecting the whole body with the meridians. At this stage the Spirit Qi is store in the Dantian, thus reaching the next state becomes a Spirit Gathering Realm.


As for the realm above Spirit Gathering, Feng Yun didn't know how many stages were there. After all, Feng Family's sovereign was also an expert in the Spirit Gathering realm.


.....


The bright moonlight illuminated the land, covering the quiet little town with a layer of silver.


At this time, Feng Yun also slowly arrived at his residence. This place was fairly secluded, and in the entire Feng family, it was considered to be a rather remote place.


Driving his body that was covered in sweat, Feng Yun carefully washed his body, and after eating dinner, he sat down and took out an old black sword and a palm-size wooden box.


Both of the things emitting an ancient aura. It seems as if they had not been touched by someone for centuries or millennium of years.


He has mistakenly entered a very old cave where he had found these two things. He tried to open the box many times, but it did not open whatever Feng Yun was doing. Feng Yun tried to destroy the box by fire, but it did not even burn. Feng Yun tried to cut it with a sword, but there was not even a scratch appeared on the wooden box.


He stared at the wooden box for a long time and thought that what could be inside it.


Feng Yun cut his finger and dropped a few drops of blood on the wooden box. For a few moments, nothing abnormal happened in the box. Seeing this Feng Yun became disappointed. As Feng Yun thought the box would not open, he decided to put it back.


However, at this moment, the dim light shined from the wooden box. Under Feng Yun's astonished gaze, the wooden box that had never changed for a thousand years had actually emitted a faint glow, and the drops of blood of Feng Yun was absorbed by the wooden box. After absorbing Feng Yun's blood, the light became brighter and brighter.


Click!


A slight sound was heard, and the light became dim until it disappeared and the wooden box opened.


Feng Yun's eyes were now filled with surprise and excitement.


There was a small jade bottle inside the wooden box. Feng Yun took the jade bottle in his hand, he saw a finger-sized pill in the jade bottle. Feng Yun poured the pill onto his palm, it was a dark-red pill with four golden lines.


The dark-red colored pill suddenly emits a bright glow.


When the pill started to glow, at the moment, Feng Yun felt as if he was standing in front a vast and boundless ocean. His own body was incomparably small, and the monstrous wave brought by the dark red Pill with massive killing intent that was going to swallow him whole.


Feng Yun knew clearly in his heart that all of this was an illusion. After a while of hesitation, he gritted his teeth and swallowed the pill.


The moment he swallowed the pill, the suffocating killing intent has disappeared.


When Feng Yun swallowed the pill, it went directly to his Dantian. After it emitted a golden light, and one of the four golden lines started to disappear. After a golden line was erased, the pill was slowly melted a little, and the size of the dark-red pill reduced by one-fourth.


The melted part of the pill became a surge of energy and spread through the entire body of Feng Yun.


Feng Yun felt his entire body heating up, as though he was in the mouth of a volcano.


At this moment, severe pain hit his mind. Feng Yun only felt like a side hammer hitting his head hard. The unbearable pain made him almost yell, but he held in because of his willpower.


However, the pain did not decrease for a long time instead it became worst. Feng Yun was unable to hold the immense pain and fainted.


The energy released by the melted pill was tempering his muscles and inner organs, even his bones had been tempered making them more sturdy. His blood starts boiling and some black slimy liquid came out of his pores.


Feng Yun's skin and muscles were refined, his skin became more white and his muscles slightly bulge. Feng Yun's face also changed from before, now he became more handsome and also acquired a toned body.


After a quarter of an hour, the steam of energy was absorbed entirely by Feng Yun's body. Feng Yun woke up. He slowly started to check the change caused by the pill's energy.


Feng Yun discovered that at this moment, his own strength, vital energy, blood, bones, and even meridians had all received a degree of enhancement. His cultivation also raised to the 3rd-layer of the Body Refining Realm.
