Gate of Immortality

Chapter 18: Increase in strength

Yang Shi found two Crimson Flame fruit. Crimson Flame fruit can help a cultivator to advance a level. It is also an ingredient to make longevity pills, Which increases the lifespan of a cultivator. But Yang Shi has other usages for it.

" So, all ingredients have been gathered. Let's make the elixir."

Yang Shi came back and asked Xin Xin to prepare hot water. This medicinal liquid had the ability to increase the strength of the physical constitution and increase the speed at which a Body Tempering Stage of [ Origin Chaos Internal Energy Art] martial artist cultivated.

The medicinal formula of [ Mortal Shedding Elixir] had been considered extinct in the earth long ago. This formula was preserved in an ancient medicinal book, which the Old man has collected.

The Samsara Emperor's memory has lot's of body tempering elixirs, but Yang Shi has no time to find those thousand years old plants

Concocting medicinal liquids was different from refining medicinal pills.

To refine medicinal pills, one would first require the formation of Pill Fire, an ability that was only achievable by graded alchemists.

However, concocting medicinal liquids only required a formula. With the knowledge of the medicinal materials required and the order in which the medicinal materials were to be prepared, anyone was capable of concocting medicinal liquids.

Yang Shi took the formula of [ Mortal Shedding Elixir] and replaced the ingredients with herbs of the same characterize. Basically, he will be concocting [ Mortal Shedding Elixir] with new and powerful ingredients.

Concocting a mutated[ Mortal Shedding Elixir] for the first time, Yang Shi clumsily wasted an hour before finally succeeding in creating the medicinal liquid according to the formula from his memories

Yang Shi poured [ Mortal Shedding Elixir] into the barrel, mixed everything thoroughly, and took off his clothes before jumping in.

Sitting cross legged inside the barrel, Yang Shi could clearly feel his whole body numbing.

He knew that this was the [ Mortal Shedding Elixir] fusing into his body and changing his physical constitution.

Closing his eyes, Yang Shi started to circulate his Internal energy according to [ Origin Chaos Internal Energy Art] Under the greedy absorption of Yang Shi's body, a barrel of medicinal bath was swiftly consumed.

The foundations of transforming into a martial artist were the body tempering process, the strengthening of vital energy and blood, and the metamorphosis of the fleshly body.

He shed his skin like a snake. Soon, all of his skin melted and only flesh remained. Yang Shi felt a lot of pain, yet he persisted.

" Damn, I have made it too much potent. Thankfully I didn't mix *that* thing."

Three days later, after absorbing the third barrel of medicinal liquid, Yang Shi finally stepped into the realm of the first level of Body Tempering Stage{1}

Yang Shi got out of the barrel and stood in front of a mirror. He looked at the able-bodied figure that was completely different than the figure from three days ago and screamed.

" MY FACE!!! My face changed." Now the face of Yang Shi was completely changed. Now it doesn't look like Long Xuan's face. It's completely a different person. He looked more handsome now. His body was emanating a natural prideful aura. His eyes changed into purple color, with a mixture of azure blue and fiery red. It looks wicked and charming at the same time.

He then started stretching his body and noticed that his body's level of flexibility was astonishing.

He has completed [ Skin tempering stage], but the transformation was little much than Yang Shi anticipated.

Xin Xin and Uncle Fu was surprised to see an unknown person. They couldn't recognize Yang Shi at all. After too much of consolation, They finally recognize Yang Shi.

" Since my body has changed, I should also change my name to a cool one." Yang Shi thought inwardly.

His practice of [ Flying Feathers] also increased dramatically.

After residing there a week, Yang Shi bad farewell to Uncle Fu and Xin Xin. Xin Xin really became emotional after hearing about the departure of Yang Shi. Yang gave them a hundred gold coins and walked away. This time he brought a map, to not to get lost again. The next stop was [ Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom].

" That's quite a domineering name." Yang Shi thought. Till now, Yang Shi doesn't have any basic knowledge about this cultivation world. So he doesn't know what an Ancient Kingdom represents.

Yang Shi started traveling again, with a destination in his mind. [ Now, all I need a space ring.]

*Haah* *Haaaah*

A young man was cutting a corpse of a giant tiger. The tiger was completely grey colored. The Young Man was Yang Shi, Who killed the tiger, Which was a ferocious beast.

*che* " Too bad. I can't store the corpse." Yang Shi sighed. From the last ten days battle with various beasts, Yang Shi is finally able to control spiritual Qi by a little. He still had a long way to go. Yang Shi has reached the third level of [ Spiritual Ascension realm]

On the eleventh day, He heard some fighting sounds.

" Huh, There are people here." Yang Shi rushed in that direction. He saw, two groups of peoples are fighting with each other. One group of people wore a kind of soldier's clothing and others looked like some bandit.

" Brothers, Today we gonna have a big harvest. Kill these soldiers." A middle aged person roared.

" KILL. KILL."

"Captain, We need hel-

Before the soldier could finish his sentence, a bandit slashed off his head, with his swing of the sword.

Blood gushed out as the headless body fall to the ground. Yang Shi again felt that mysterious feeling. He became slightly elated to see the blood bath. He suddenly had the urge to rush there and start killing. Yang Shi thought, [ I should help those soldiers.] The most powerful person, the leader of bandits, looked like the seventh level of [ Spiritual Ascension realm]. So fighting with him will benefit Yang Shi and even if Yang Shi unable to win, he can still escape easily.

Yang Shi rushed there to help. Little he knows, what unexpected thing will happen.
