54 Training the body (2/2)

”The most common method is to do missions issued at the clan's mission office. You can also win them at the clan's special events. Another popular method is to bet points. Finally, if you are wealthy enough you can buy points by exchanging them with money or treasures. But the exchange rate for this is horrible. Only the scions of the wealthy and powerful in the clan would be able to afford it.”

”My parents are rich enough that I can buy the clan points right.”

”Of course. The money required to buy you time in the gravity rooms is nothing to them. After all, the gravity rooms for qi condensation realm are very cheap.”

”But they won't give me any money would they.” Bai Yun sighed as he asked this question.

”You can try praying. Who knows, a miracle would occur and they might change their mind.” Old Hai laughed.

Bai Yun sighed after hearing this. Just then Butler Fang entered the room with all the medicines that Bai Yun had asked for. Bai Yun was startled to find that not only were there many powerful medicinal pills, they were also of very high quality. He had expected only a few medicines since his allowance was small. After he inquired about it, it seemed that his parents had given him a near infinite allowance for medicinal pills that could help in healing him.

Bai Yun laughed when he heard this. He figured that this was a way for his parents to tell him that he should go all out in training and that it was okay even if he nearly died.

The truth was that it was only a part of their thoughts. The biggest reason that they had made such arrangements was that they were afraid that something would happen and that he would fall back into his previous state. They wanted to make sure no expenses would be spared if that happened.

Bai Yun send the two of them out after this and got ready to rest and heal. But before he send them away he informed them of Bai Ling-er and Bai Shi and told them to inform him if they came around asking about him.

He then dissolved one of the pills in a large bathtub filled with water and submerged himself. It would have been better to eat the pills, as this method would lose some of the effectiveness of the pill, and was also generally slower.

But there were two reasons Bai Yun used this method. One was that this way would lead to fewer pill toxins in one's body. Another was that the direction of the pill energy was different. This way Bai Yun would be able to heal his injuries more uniformly over his body, while in the other case, the injuries closer to the stomach would heal first.

Bai Yun spend the entire day and most of the night healing himself. By the time he had finished, he had used up three healing pills. But he had not used any of the more powerful ones and had left them behind in case of an emergency.

Bai Yun stood up and inspected his body once again. He was satisfied with the improvement. All of the smaller cuts and bruises had healed by then. His organs had also stabilized. The only problems he still had were his right shoulder and his two arms. Bai Yun tried to rotate his right shoulder, only to have a sharp pain travel up his arms. Thankfully only the flesh of his arms was still damaged, and not the bones, which had healed by now.

It would be quite a while longer before he was back to his full strength. In the meantime, Bai Yun would be unable to use his hands deftly. Especially to fight.

From the outside, his arms had dozens of tiny scratches. They had all healed by now. But even then some of the larger cuts had scarred over. Bai Yun counted a little over a dozen tiny scars.

Not only, that there was also a long scar on the right side of his face.

Scars were not much of a problem for cultivators. Cultivators would not generally scar once they reach the soul step in cultivation, unless the injury was caused by special means that purposefully left behind a scar. This was why most people in the qi step tried not to fight with everything they had and would generally only try to overpower each other, just in case they got hurt.

And it wasn't like there was no way for people in the qi step to heal their scars. It was just a bit difficult to find the necessary item that's all.

And there were also benefits to his work. His qi condensation state had completely solidified and most of the impurities he had collected had gone. He could break through to the next stage of qi condensation without any problem once he found the right opportunity.

Bai Yun then used the Assassin God's technique to cover up his scars. Since his hands had already gone through skin sewing this was no problem for him. The scar on his face was a small problem, but he did it anyway. It would not be good if the hunter union found out about his identity by his new scar. In truth, Bai Yun was overestimating the power of the Hunter Union, not that it mattered much.

Once he was done, Bai Yun laid down on his bed and went to sleep.

It would be a long time before Bai Yun gained enough cultivation before he could forego sleep. But he was currently not at such a state. It was possible for cultivators to skip sleep and replace it with mediation, but it was not recommended to do so for a long time continuously. Currently, Bai Yun had already skipped sleep for a few days, and he needed to sleep now.

Bai Yun slept until noon. When he finally woke he quickly changed into a new set of clothes, and got ready. Then he covered up his scars with the Assassin God's techniques.

Once he was ready, he left for the Bai clan mission office nearest to his residence.
