Death… And Me Chapter 1260: Star Body

Chapter 1260: Star Body

Of course, there were still people waiting outside, hoping Rean would forge even more. During the time he forged equipment, his fame as a blacksmith increased even more. Instead of going down, the number of customers only increased. "Alright, everyone. I already got all the Deep Sea Spiked Clam Pearls I need. I'll be taking a break from forging now, so don't bother me."

"What?!"

"You can't be serious!"

"I've been waiting forever!"

Rean narrowed his eyes after hearing their complaints. "Shut up! I haven't cultivated at all during the last three months!" Not that he could cultivate anyway, but he wouldn't tell them that. "I need time to train as well, so I won't forge any more equipment. If you need a weapon or armor that much, then ask the other blacksmiths in the Blacksmith Hall. I'm leaving!"

Of course, they weren't here for any equipment. They were here for Rean's equipment! If it wasn't his Special Edition equipment, then none of them needed a new weapon or armor. Unfortunately, they couldn't force Rean either.

"When will you resume forging weapons?" one of the cultivators there asked.

The truth was that Rean didn't know. If everything went according to plan, he and Roan would be leaving after they finished their breakthroughs in the Starlight Body Cultivation Technique. "I'm not sure. I have to catch up with lost time, so we'll see. I'll let you know when the time comes." Rean left the Blacksmith Hall right after.

Rean went back to his residence and could feel that Roan was also on his own. "How is it? Did you finish checking the system's Starlight Body Cultivation Technique?"

Roan nodded, telling him, "I did. I have to admit I can't find any flaws, at least not at the moment. However, the further we go, the more complicated it becomes, so there might be something in the future. We'll have to find out and see."

"That's good enough," Rean responded. "How about we start our body cultivation now? There shouldn't be a problem, yeah? I just finished gathering the 200 Deep Sea Spiked Clam Pearls."

"That's good, then." Roan agreed with Rean in starting their body cultivation. "The Gargantuan Mikrel Worm Blood is inside the Dimensional Realm. Take a vial, and let's start."

According to the Yin and Yang Starlight Body Cultivation Technique, one had to use the Starlight to refine one's body with the materials necessary. In this case, it was the Gargantuan Mikrel Worm Blood. 

[Alright, you two. Come inside the Dimensional Realm. It'll be better for you to be close to the Foundation Fragment when you start to absorb the Starlight Energy acc.u.mulated there. After you come in, I'll be telling you the steps to follow.]

The twins quickly entered the Dimensional Realm before Sister Orb continued.

[First, apply the blood all over your body. Simply use your Divine Soul Power to keep the blood touching your skin so that it won't fall to the ground.]

The twins nodded and followed Sister Orb's instructions. They had already read the manual, but they were used to having Sister Orb guiding them. At least at this point, she always did a good job.

[Good! Now, instead of focusing on your stars' Starlight Energies, focus on the Starlight inside the fragment. Pretend that it also has the same energy as your stars and absorb it. When the Starlight Energy starts to make its way into your body, it will carry the blood on your skin through your meridians. Your meridians are connected to every point in your body, so that's the best way to bring them there fast enough.]

*Argh...*

Sure enough, the pain that everyone knew from body cultivation techniques was immediately felt by the twins. However, Rean and Roan's hairs turned into a mix of black and white before both of them used Light Element to protect their bodies. In less than a moment, all the pain disappeared.

[I wonder how angry other body cultivators would feel, knowing that you two won't feel their pain.]

The twins ignored Sister Orb and continued the process.

[Alright, alright. Redirect the Starlight to your body as a whole and use the method in the manual to refine it with the worm blood. Don't forget to go over every part. Make sure it's evenly distributed between the organs, blood, and bones.]

It was a slow process, which all body cultivators hated due to the pain they had to endure all throughout. Well, it was not a problem for the twins, though. In fact, most cultivators would try to accelerate the process so that they could get rid of the pain earlier. However, that might also cause the refinement to not finish correctly. The twins, on the other hand, took a very calm and long time refining their own. Some would find it even boring if they could do what the twins did. In any case, it was a perfect refinement.

[Good! Now, use your Yin and Yang Energy to complement the refinement. This is the part that makes the system's body cultivation technique much better than the original technique.]

The twins did exactly that and could tell that the effects had indeed improved.

Time continued to pa.s.s. 14 hours later, Starlight Energy burst out of the twins' bodies simultaneously, followed by Yin and Yang Energy. For a moment, the twins' bodies seemed to s.h.i.+ne with red light before they returned to normal. They finally achieved First Grade Star Body!

"Phew... it's finally over," Rean said.

Roan shook his head, though. "Not really. You have the pearls, don't you? Let's keep up the momentum and cultivate the Second Grade Star Body."

Rean then asked, "Sister Orb, is it okay to cultivate the next grade straight away?"

[No problem. The system's manual is supposed to be flawless, remember? Even if you cultivate all grades one after another, it shouldn't be a problem. It's quite unfortunate that you don't have the items or the Starlight Energy to do that.]

Rean nodded, waving his hand as he said, "It's fine."

Roan immediately took his 100 pearls, telling Rean, "Don't waste time and let's get over with it. I'll head back to the Alchemist Hall after this to see if someone knows about the Molten Divine Rock Flower."

With that, the twins began their breakthrough to achieve Second Grade Star Body.
