Rise of the Alchemy God

Chapter 27: Special physique



.

"Sealed?"

Ethan had no idea what kind of constitution this was.

From the name, it seemed to be something exceptional, but seeing that it was sealed, he couldn't help but furrow his brow.

"Maybe I should ask Bai Yu?" he thought, nodding to himself.

Being from a higher plane, she would surely know more about it than he did.

Ethan was almost entirely sure that the reason he couldn't enter the first stage of cultivation was because of this physique.

"Senior Bai, do you know anything about a physique called Heavenly Body of the Sacred Flames, sealed?"

"Hmm?"

Bai Yu immediately reacted to the mention of this name and hastily asked,

"Where did you hear about this physique?" she asked with a slight agitation in her voice.

Hearing the subtle agitation in her voice, Ethan couldn't help but think that she indeed knew about this physique.

Thinking this, he replied, "When I connected to the Anfora of the Seven Sages, some information about myself was transferred into my head.

And it seems I have this physique, but it appears to be sealed."

He thought this explanation was sufficient to explain how he knew about certain things.

From her previous reactions, she didn't seem to know about the system's existence or how this artifact worked in detail.

If the system was really like the cheat code that usually helped MCs in the novels he had read in his previous world, then it was his ace in the hole to protect himself from future dangers.

Although he had lowered his guard towards Bai Yu, he was still a bit cautious in interacting with her.

"Sealed?" Bai Yu was alarmed to hear the name of this physique, but hearing that not only did he have it, but it was also sealed, she couldn't help but wonder if Ethan was lucky or unlucky.

Composing herself, she explained to Ethan, "You see, the Heavenly Body of the Sacred Flames, sealed, is a special physique considered one of the rarest in both planes.

Only one person in a billion would have the chance to be born with such a physique," she said, holding back her astonishment.

"Due to its rarity and the benefits it provides, this physique is classified as a mythical grade physique, a grade that only a few physiques in history have reached."

"Mythical grade?" Ethan thought, a bit confused.

He was sure he had never heard of this grade.

He knew about the existence of special physiques, not only because of his past knowledge but also because even in this sect, people with special physiques were highly regarded.

For example, Li Qiang, the disciple who had scored well in the strength test, had a special constitution called the "Earth Turtle Physique."

It was a rare physique named for its properties, which allowed the person's body to be as hard as a turtle's shell.

Ethan knew this because, being from a prestigious family famous for its combat techniques, they had spread the news of a new talent's birth in their family.

This news had caused a stir, and Ethan had heard about it from other disciples' conversations during the test.

From what he had learned, there were various types of special physiques a person could be born with.

The percentage of people born with special physiques was low, and it became even lower depending on the physique's level.

The highest level of a physique ever recorded in history was the epic level, a physique level that appeared many centuries ago.

Therefore, hearing that his was a mythical grade physique, he didn't know how to react.

At that moment, Bai Yu continued, "In the past, there was a person who reached the pinnacle of cultivation. He was remembered as the God of Alchemy.

According to some accounts about him, it was believed that he possessed the Heavenly Body of the Sacred Flames."

She stopped for a moment, as if thinking about something.

"When I awakened in your sea of consciousness, I couldn't perceive any special constitution in you.

I thought the reason you were still a mortal who hadn't entered the first stage of cultivation was because you had no talent, but if what you just said is true, then there is some chance for you to start your cultivation path."

Hearing these words, Ethan felt elated.

He was running out of options, and there were only three months left for the annual exam of the external disciples.

He wasn't sure if he would ever find a way to break through and enter the first stage of cultivation, but hearing these words, the small flame of hope in him rekindled, brightening his mood.

"What do I need to do, Senior Bai?" Ethan asked eagerly.

Bai Yu, hearing how excited Ethan was, couldn't help but shake her head and said, "You see, when we talk about a special physique, it refers to a state in which the person's physique is dormant.

It is normal for a high-level physique to be dormant, especially in your case, where the physique's level is very high."

"Over time, various methods have been developed to awaken a dormant physique, and depending on the physique, these methods vary."

"The most common method would be to take an Awakening Pill," she said.

"Awakening Pill?" Ethan had never heard of this pill, but thinking that this was due to his lack of knowledge, he decided to ask.

"Is it possible to find such a pill in the mortal plane?" he asked, doubtful.

As far as he knew, the pills that could be found in the celestial plane didn't necessarily exist in the mortal plane.

After all, from what little he could deduce from Bai Yu's information, there was a significant difference in power and knowledge between the two planes.

Hearing Ethan's question, Bai Yu couldn't help but say uncertainly, "I'm not sure if it exists in the mortal plane, but this pill is quite common in the celestial plane, so it should be possible to find it here as well."

"Even its grade is not very high, so it should be easy to obtain it here," she said after thinking.

"If you can't find an Awakening Pill, then you'll have to opt for a different method."

"What method?" Ethan asked.

He wasn't sure if such a pill existed in the mortal plane, but knowing that there were other ways to awaken his physique, Ethan calmed down a bit.

"Personally, it would be better to avoid this method because it's quite problematic," she said, unsure whether to tell him or not.

"In what sense?" Ethan asked, feeling that he wouldn't like the method.

"Well, the Awakening Pill is the most common method, but there are specific methods for each constitution, and they vary depending on the type of constitution and its level."

"In your case, you would need to find a rare flame and absorb it."

"Rare Flames ?"
