Death… And Me

Chapter 1585 Body Transformation

Rean understood why it was a problem. In fact, this was something that could be easily fixed. Contrary to what others might think, Rean and Roan didn\'t need to do anything with Hage\'s body to resolve the issue. "Alright, if the issue is your blocked meridians, then I have the solution right here."

Hage was taken aback to hear that. "Are you for real?"

Rean nodded in response before he took out a very simple cultivation technique that anyone had their hands on back in the Mortal Realm. It was the most basic thing for anyone wishing to become a cultivator in their lives. The Body Transformation Technique.

As mentioned before, in the Realm of Gods, everyone was born in the Foundation Establishment Realm. With that said, they already had all their meridians open. However, in the Mortal Realm, such a thing didn\'t happen. One had to cultivate the Body Transformation Technique\'s first five stages in order to open their meridians.

The stages for Body Transformation were Blood Replacement, Bones Enhancement, Muscles Strengthening, Organs Change, and Spiritual Vision. Once all five were complete, the cultivator would enter the last stage, Meridian Opening! Once that was concluded, they would start their breakthrough into the Energy Gathering Realm.

However, something so basic as that was pretty much unheard of in the Realm of Gods. Except for those who ascended, no one had any idea about this phase in a cultivator\'s life back in the Mortal Realm.

Sometime later, Rean put all the contents of the Body Transformation Technique into a jade slip and threw it at Hage, telling him, "You can just ignore the first five stages described in the technique. Instead, start from the sixth one. As long as you do that, you should be able to open your meridians."

There was one more advantage with that method. Because Hage was in the Realm of Gods, he could use Divine Energy instead of Spiritual Energy. With that said, he wouldn\'t have any trouble opening all the remaining meridians in his body. If he was in the Mortal Realm, Spiritual Energy would be the only thing available, and it\'s quite hard to open every single meridian with it. One would need background and high talent to achieve it.

Hage quickly read the contents of the technique and couldn\'t hide the excitement he was feeling. "This! This! This is perfect!" Immediately, he sat on the ground and began to cultivate the Body Transformation Technique\'s sixth stage.

Rean watched that with his Divine Sense and smiled. One by one, Hage\'s meridians opened without stopping. Not only that, but he saw something quite intriguing. \'Now, would you look at that! His closed meridians seem to be in much better shape than I thought. Could it be that the longer you keep your meridians closed, the greater the benefit when you open them for the first time?\' Sadly, Rean couldn\'t test that theory since all living beings in the Realm of Gods already had them open by birth. Not to mention that even if they didn\'t, Rean would have to wait decades, if not hundreds of years, to check and compare the results.

With Divine Energy, Hage opened all his meridians without a problem. As soon as he finished, he took a deep breath and began to cultivate. Divine Energy quickly surged into his body, and it was converted into Divine Energy compatible with him only.

After seeing that, Rean nodded, satisfied. "Turns out your cultivation speed is much higher than I expected. Those meridians of yours are quite good. If not for your own talent and three-pillar foundation, I would definitely call you a genius."

Hage couldn\'t care less, though. "Hahaha! I\'m already more than happy enough that my cultivation speed is on par with other people. Rean, you had my loyalty because of the contract before. However, this sect of yours now has my loyalty by heart! Whatever you need me to do, I\'ll do it!"

Himfal and Vania became curious after that as one of them asked, "Errr... Rean, would the technique he used help us too?"

Rean immediately shook his head as he told them, "Your meridians have no problem. At most, I could give you a pill that would wash and get rid of the impurities. That would definitely increase your cultivation speed by 20% or so, but that\'s all."

"What?!" Rean talked as if it wasn\'t anything impressive. However, Vania and Himfal wanted nothing more than to take that pill right now. "What do we need to do to gain this pill?"

Well, pretty much all of Roan\'s pills had this effect. That was more of an extra perk that the pills got by using Rean and Roan\'s Light and Dark Elements. However, Rean knew that it was a very good bargaining item. "That will depend on how much you contribute to our sect. Let\'s wait a year or so. Depending on the results, I\'ll give you one pill each."

Himfal and Vania immediately joined Hage as both of them said, "Just tell what we need to do, and it\'ll be done as long as it\'s something we can accomplish."

In response, Rean then pointed at the kids. "Well, take care of the kids for now."

"This..." Vania, Himfal, and Hage didn\'t expect it to be that easy. "Er... alright then."

Rean nodded before he thought out loud. "Now... where would I find someone who knows how to build things willing to join the sect..."

Suddenly, one of the kids raised his hand and asked, "Uncle Rean, do you need a builder?"

Rean looked at the kid. It was a boy called Gustav. "Yes. Otherwise, our sect will never be built."

The other kids then joined Gustav.

"Then you should talk to Grampa Logu."

"Yes! Grampa Logu is very good at building things!"

"He often built toys for us."

"He lived in the streets as well."

"He\'s one of the very few adults that didn\'t mind us."

Rean smiled after hearing that. What he needed was not a toymaker but a real builder. However, he couldn\'t force himself to refuse the kids\' goodwill. "Luan, who is this Grampa Logu? I can go and talk to him a little."

Luan nodded as he told Rean, "I don\'t know him very well. You better take Gustav so that he can bring you where this Grampa Logu lives."

Rean nodded as he looked at Gustav and asked, "Will you bring me there?"

Gustav immediately nodded in response. "Yes!"
