Alex immediately started using the skills that the Mystic Maiden taught him, along with the mystical
breathing method. In an instant, the energy of the Stardew Fruit burst in him. The power of stars
clashed right into one another as his body glowed with silver light. Silver talismans surfaced on his skin,
flowing about.
The mysterious breathing method was currently adjusting the power of his organs as well. It made the
organs invigorated so that they could absorb and merge with the power of the stars.
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain coming from within. However, Alex was mentally prepared for this
outcome. Back when he swallowed the fires within the Tower of God, a similar reaction occurred as his
organs felt like they were being burnt.
Right at this second, the pain was even worse than before. He felt like he was being pricked with
needles and stabbed with knives.
The Mystic Maiden mentioned that this was a necessary step. Cultivation was never just a mere
breeze. It was a no pain no gain process after all.
Alex had, in fact, trained bodily skills before, such as the Mystic Armor. Yet the only feedback the
Mystic Maidan gave him was⦠that he was even weaker than a piece of her crap.
The Mystic Armor only refined oneâs bones, concentrating the Chi on oneâs bones to form a shield.
However, the armor was nothing compared to the Strength Training method Alex received. That was
because Strength Training methods are used for strengthening oneself. Not only would it strengthen
the bones, but it would also enhance the organs and veins. It trained the body as a whole as if it were
refining a pill non-stop.
In the end, the core of the subject would change entirely. The body would become a saint.
An hour later, a layer of black oil surfaced from Alexâs skin. There was even blood mixed in. Those
were the impurities discharged from his body.
âI excreted this much impurities?â Alex himself was surprised. Every time he achieved a particular
stage in cultivation, his body would discharge a certain amount of impurities. As time passes, the
impurities lessened more and more with every stage. In the end, it was almost unnoticeable. He even
thought that he had become a pure entity.
Despite this, the impurities that he excreted this time were even more than the first time he built his
foundation.
On the other hand, this mystical breathing method was able to activate his golden core when used. It
was vibrating at a constant pace, discharging impurities within his core. This was simply shocking to
Alex.
He knew that his golden core was filled with energy, which indicated that this breathing method could
cleanse energies, taking out the impurities and leaving pure essence within. He was also able to sense
a decrease in energy within his core, yet the power had significantly increased. This meant that the
energy in his core had been refined to a higher quality.
âHey servant, I just realized youâve learned the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell. But youâre not using the
correct methods,â the Mystic Maiden spoke up again, then let out a sigh. âYou remind me of
someoneâ¦â
Alex was confused. âYour man?â
The Mystic Maiden seemed upset. âI havenât had any marriage arrangements yet.â
Alex replied. âOh, that doesnât matter. Itâs trendy to try things out now, so you could just move in with
someone, sleep in the same bed for some time. Then, if you think theyâre the right match, you could
marry them. If not, you could just call it quits.â
The Mystic Maiden was shocked. âIs that not immoral?â
âNope, itâs a thing in this generation.â
Speechless, she snapped. âBullsh*t!â
âDoes this goddess have something against crap? Why would she cuss whenever sheâs mad? What did
crap ever do to her?â
After a slight pause, she changed the topic. âThis path would be quite difficult to pass. If youâre not
careful, you could lose your lifeâ¦â
After a sigh, she then sounded very alarmed. âServant, sheâs here!â
âWho is?â
âThat wild chicken!â
