Once More In The Martial World

Chapter 02

Inside the house:

The practice room is quiet, free from any distracting background noise,

with soft and dim light in the room its comforting.

In the corner soaking in the lukewarm water filled with medicinal herbs, the bath feels quite uncomfortable at the beginning, it produces a burning sensation as if hundreds of ants biting on his body. It gets itchy all over the place, but if he succ.u.mbs to this feel, his skin can suffer with purple red rashes. That's how medicine are, if you take them the wrong way you suffer.

But as he soaks in the warm water and bears with all this, it relaxes and refreshes his body.

For years Liu Ye is taking this medicinal bath, this aids his physical condition, heals and repairs his organs that gets damaged everyday.

With refreshed and relaxed body, its time for his meditation.

.

.

Sitting in a comfortable position, slowly inhaling and exhaling through my nose, starting my breathing exercise, I tried to relax my limbs and muscles, empty and clear my mind.

Doing all these after taking a warm bath in his early days he used to feel dizzy, but after years of practising he got used to it.

.

.

Once my body became relaxed and my mind is calm, I started practising "golden soul scripture", the only inheritance from my father, the only help I got from my former clan.

As he began practising, soul energy started gathering deep in his consciousness.

After a period of gathering, deep in his mind it looks like an area of 4-5 meters is covered in fog.

With this soul energy he can look into his body and knew his physical condition.

And there it is on the right side of his c.h.e.s.t, the grey smoke, slowly sending strands of it to other parts of his body and constantly corroding his body.

With this soul energy he can only watch the death qi within his body destroying his cells and killing him.

With death qi in his body he is lucky to survive till now. His father and grandfather spent huge resources on him, even though the resources doesn't count to them much, that amount is enough to make a 4th rate sect in Liu Ye's home world to get scared !!

All those resources are spent just to keep an ordinary human alive !

With the amount of soul energy gathered, he is close to reach the first layer in soul cultivation. To reach the first layer, the energy when compressed should be enough to form a drop of soul liquid.

A drop of soul liquid! It doesn't sound much but as a ordinary human, cultivating soul is the hardest thing even before becoming a cultivator.

Even many cultivators doesn't give too much preference to cultivating soul, even though knowing, it is the most powerful trump card for a cultivator in a battle.

Just because of its requirements of large amount of resources and a formidable soul cultivation technique cultivators drop the idea of soul cultivation.

.

.

As time passed Liu Ye's soul energy increased in amount to reach the first layer,but there is still some distance.

Soul strengthening fruits are enough for him to cross it, these are some low grade spirit fruits to enhance the speed of soul cultivation.

.

.

I ate the gr.a.p.e size soul strengthening fruits and went to the side of Yu'er, she helps me in absorbing the energy from the fruits.

He needs to absorb the energy from the fruits quickly to enhance the soul energy before the gathered soul energy dissipates.

.

.

"Yu'er", I woke her up from the meditation.

"What? you need my help again?", he asked annoyingly as he woke from meditation.

"aah.. yeah",

although I want to have a conversation with her but this is isn't the moment for any talk, I have to quickly condense a soul energy droplet.

.

.

Yu'er sat behind me in the practice room, as she placed her smooth palm on my back and transferred the qi,

slowly moving within my body, helping me digest and absorb the energy from fruits.

Time passed by, the soul energy gathered reached the amount to form the droplet.

I was practising "golden soul scripture" to my peak ability.

With my practice the gathered soul energy is getting compressed and condensing into a droplet.

.

.

"drip!" a drop of soul liquid condensed as I reached the first layer of soul cultivation...
