159 Like a command (2/2)
”First of. Every skill that has the word 'Heaven' in its name is a great skill.”, she said, ”Didn't you read the description? Especially the part about stimulating the cells?”
”So?”, Celine looked at her in incomprehension.
”So? That means it can strengthen your cells. And this is independent of your cultivation since it is based on a different system. So a regular massage can make one's bodily strength be higher than those of one's peers. And this is something extremely important in the upper realm. Especially with the rarity and difficulty of body refining skills.”
”Huh? Aren't we training in body refining skills?”, Ivan asked puzzled.
”Yes and no. Although technically the flesh, blood, and pathway refining realms are body refining realms, where the body gets refined, it is more of a transformation of the body to better support the gathering and usage of Qi. The normal way after that is to collect Qi and use it for skills. At that point, the body refining has more or less finished and any additional bodily strength comes from the Qi flowing through it.
But besides that, it is also possible to further strengthen the body itself. The cells will then generate a new power which is similar to Qi.”
At that point, Ivan interrupted her, ”You mean Vital Qi?”
”Yes. How do you know about it?”
”Because of my bloodline.”, he honestly responded.
”Mmm. Makes sense.” Surprisingly she didn't ask about her bloodline. Instead her expression seemed as if she had expected it, making him wonder if she knew about his bloodline. And if she did, how.
”So anyway. Even for those with the right bloodline, it is hard to continue training their bodies. So since just training Qi seems more effective most people only focus on that. Coupled with this neglect as well as the difficulty itself, good body refining skills are rare and hard to get. So something like the 'Heavenly Massage' massage, which can provide the same effect is very valuable.
And although its the basic variant, don't look down on it. If you would give me a message as well I would be truly thankful.”
”Oh so how would you show your thankfulness?”, Celine asked. She would always try to get the best out of everything. And listening to Susan she found her to be even more knowledgable than her, so she should have some good things.
”How about I give you my body?”
The response shocked them. ”What the...?”, he couldn't stop himself from saying.
Celine too looked at her askant.
Seeing their skepticism Susan smiled wryly. ”She wasn't surprised by their reaction.”
”Well, that wouldn't be for just some massages but also something from Ivan. So how about it? You give me those two things and I'll give you my body?”
They looked at each other in confusion.
”Um? What do you want from him? And why should we want your body?”, Celine asked hesitantly.
They had already arrived in the room. In the center was a massage table with a small one beside it with some flasks, with liquid in them, on it. There was also a small area divided off, which was for changing and a shelf with comfortable white towels. There was also a small seating area with just a few chairs.

Now Susan sat down on one of them. ”First of all, I have a spiritual bloodline and if I guess correctly that is exactly what he needs. Second, I could speed up your training. And as for what I need from him, that's some base essence and some blood essence.”
”Base essence?”, Ivan asked surprised. ”I don't think that's possible.” Although blood essence was important as well, it would slowly regenerate and he currently had a full amount. But his base essence was currently damaged and giving something of it away would make the damage even worse.
Seeing his defensive position, Suan laughed softly. Her voice regained her silken quality, which always managed to make him uncomfortable.
”I know. I can see that your base essence is currently damaged. But even if it wasn't it is much too weak and there is no way that you could provide the amount I would need. Maybe you will have enough if you reach the late Earth Realm.”
”So it is something for the future.”, he sighed in relief. Although he truly required someone with a spiritual bloodline, so he could stabilize his bloodline, if it was this far into the future than he didn't have to get into this mess.
”Not quite. Although I didn't plan to talk about this with you yet, we might as well do it now.”, Susan said while pulling out sheets of paper. ”I want to make a contract with you. I will give you my body as well as a method to fully stabilize your bloodline with it and in exchange, you will give me the amount of base essence and blood essence I need after you reached late Earth realm.”
