Chapter 38 - Body Cleansing Realm
"In stage 1 of the body cleansing realm, you refine your hands and legs and remove the impurities from them,"
"In stage 2, you should clear the impurities in your head,"
"In stage 3, the final and most complicated one, your abdomen that includes the digestive organs, including the stomach, small and large intestines, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder. "
Although it was his second time explaining about the cultivation to someone, he was very clear in his explanation and patiently explained about it.
His first time explaining was to his other disciple, Nick, who managed to cultivate the internal fire energy using the 'Blazing sun sutra'.
"But, how do I refine them? Isn't it risky to refine them with our internal fire energy?" Henrick gained a little bit of understanding about the body cleansing realm; However, he was worried that when his pure internal fire energy touches his internal organs, it might burn them and that would lead him to death without a doubt.
"And who said cultivation will be that easy? At each stage and each realm, you are taking a risk with your life. So, once a person becomes a cultivator, they should get used to the risks and move on with his cultivation," Sect leader Gamos said with a light chuckle that made Henrick understand the complexity of the cultivation.
"So, do you still have the dream of becoming an immortal?" After saying his words about the cruel fact of the cultivation, Sect leader Gamos looked at Henrick and asked him.
"If it is that easy to become an immortal, there will be no satisfaction for me in it," Henrick replied to the sect leader with a serious look on his face.
"Good," Sect leader Gamos nodded his head and continued, "Let me give a quick tip while removing the impurities from your body."
"You just need to flow your internal fire energy through the required part or organs according to the stages; however, when the internal fire energy is passed through that part or organ, you need to endure the pain. And the most important thing is you will only do this process when you have sufficient confidence that you can endure the pain. Do you understand?" Sect leader Gamos gave all the instructions he was supposed to give to a beginner in the cultivation.
'So, I need to endure the pain,' Henrick silently remembered this point and nodded his head at his master.
"Okay then. I will leave now. Just start your cultivation today,"
Sect leader Gamos paused for a second before saying, "And as for the reason for that, you still need to completely familiarize with your internal fire energy."
"I will note it down, Master," Henick replied to his master and hurriedly asked, "Master, since I learnt the 'Blazing sun sutra', can I leave my cultivation abode now and meet with other outer sect disciples?"
"Of course, you can meet them but only after you reach the Muscle strengthening realm," Sect leader's initial words caused Henrick to smile but the later words made him speechless.
"But, why master?" Henrick hurriedly asked for a reason while thinking in his head, 'Didn't the master has already said that I can leave the cultivation abode after learning the cultivation technique?'
"This time I will let you out as soon as you reach the muscle strengthening realm because reaching it in a month is very easy. If your luck is good, you might reach it in 10 days...Haha," While saying that, the sect leader Gamos laughed out loud.
'Even if you are a genius of one in a ten-thousand, you will at least take a month to reach the second cultivation realm. Until then, I will find a method to control your bloodline that shows up whenever you are emotional,' However, inside his head, the sect leader had other plans to do in the next one month to help Henrick suppress his bloodline.
"What? A month?"
Henrick was shocked when he heard those words.
He was already in his cultivation abode for more than 15 days and he wanted to go out to check how the outer sect exactly looks like and meet up with other fellow outer disciples.
"Yes. But if you work hard, you can go out in 10 days. So, focus on the cultivation," Nodding his head, the sect leader Gamos replied before saying, "Okay then, I will leave now."
He didn't wait for Henrick's reply and disappeared from the cultivation abode without wasting a single second as he was worried that Henrick would ask even more questions.
'...'
Henrick became speechless at the action of his master and bitterly shook his head before going back to his stone bed.
"From now on I need to be extra careful in protecting my disciples from the grand elder," After leaving Henrick's cultivation abode, the sect leader directly went back to his cultivation abode and muttered to himself.
When he took Nick and Henrick under his tutelage, the sect leader noticed something on Grand Elder, Fromir's face. So, as soon as his personal disciples entered the outer sect, Gamos kept an eye on both of his disciples' cultivation abode.
However, after knowing the origins of one of his disciples, he thought he needed to be extra careful in protecting them.
'Also, I need to find a method for Henrick to control his emotions,' With that thought in his mind, he disappeared from his cultivation abode and appeared in his personal library before searching for a method to help Henrick.
"Life of this little one seems to be so good,"
Sitting on the stone bed, Henrick looked at the baby fire monkey, which was peacefully sleeping on the stone bed and smiled.
"Now then, it's time to find out my ancient race's bloodline and innate skill," Henrick muttered in a low voice and silently thought in his head, 'Status.'
