Chapter 686 - 585: Daily Routine
Chapter 686: Chapter 585: Daily Routine
On this day, Jeming was engaged in routine body forging.
Inside the smelting furnace, the temperature had risen to the level deep within a star.
Jeming sat cross-legged at the furnace core, his body bare.
The surrounding dazzling blue light was a high temperature capable of vaporizing any substance in an instant, yet his skin only slightly reddened without a single drop of sweat.
This was his everyday cultivation using the Body Refining Technique.
No reliance on any Protective Magic, no activation of any Energy Shield, purely using his body to resist such extreme conditions.
Jeming had his eyes closed, sensing every inch of skin, every muscle, every bone’s reaction to the high heat.
The cells were simultaneously being scorched and rapidly regenerating, with the regenerated cells becoming tougher, better able to resist high temperatures.
This is the core of the Body Refining Technique: adaptive evolution.
Withstand damage, adapt to damage, and ultimately become immune to damage.
Suddenly, the environment inside the furnace changed.
The high temperature instantly subsided, replaced by extreme cold.
That cold was not ordinary cold, but an absolute low temperature capable of freezing the soul.
A layer of frost instantly formed on Jeming’s skin, even his breath turned into ice crystals.
Yet he remained motionless.
Immediately after, countless bolts of lightning appeared out of thin air, striking him furiously.
Each bolt of lightning was enough to shatter the Protective Shield of a Fifth Level Wizard, but upon Jeming, they only caused his muscles to twitch slightly.
After the lightning came acid.
This acid, created by Extraordinary Power, could corrode the vast majority of substances, burning deep pits into the ground.
But when it landed on Jeming, it only made a slight sizzling sound, leaving shallow white marks, which then healed at a visible pace.
Following the acid was wind blades, after wind blades came gravitational crushing, gravitational crushing followed again by high temperature...
Round after round, cycle after cycle.
Jeming contemplated for a while and frowned slightly.
"This intensity is a bit weak for me now."
He raised his hand to point in the air, the array on the furnace wall immediately adjusted, and the attack intensity increased by thirty percent.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning twice as thick as before struck Jeming’s shoulder, making his body tremble.
A charred black scar appeared on the shoulder but was quickly filled by newly generated muscle tissue.
Jeming was about to sigh, when he suddenly felt a strange hot current surge within.
He lowered his head to look at his hands.
His hands were swelling.
The swelling was not due to congestion or damage but to "growth."
The muscles under the skin multiplied furiously, bones thickening and lengthening visibly, and his body size swelled from less than one meter ninety to over ten meters in just a few seconds.
Golden light burst from his body, illuminating the entire smelting furnace in a golden hue.
The previously slender physique also became robust, muscles appearing exceptionally fierce, each muscle as if cast from hardened steel, exuding an explosive sense of power.
On his forehead, a strand of golden light shined excessively bright, resembling a third eye.
Jeming looked down at his giant palms, sighing habitually.
Here it is again.
This form is his "true self."
Upon reaching a certain realm with the Body Refining Technique, the body continually grows taller and muscles increase to handle more powerful muscles and bones.
Thus, this large and imposing form is his true essence.
The usual slender shape under one meter ninety is actually the compressed state.
This occurrence is common among Wizards.
Many Wizards have long transformed themselves beyond human resemblance.
Some have implanted organs from alien races, some have undergone mechanization, others simply changed their bodies into elemental conglomerates.
In daily life, they appear human, but once in battle mode, there’s no trace of human form.
Some Wizards even maintain non-human forms daily, like those who transform themselves into half-human and half-snake, or those replacing their heads with monstrous tentacles.
However, such instances are rare.
After all, most facilities, including Teleportation Arrays, laboratories, and medical pods, are built in human form.
Maintaining a human physique in daily life is more convenient.
Jeming endured the continuous assaults around him while activating the Body Refining Technique, gradually allowing his body to adapt to this damage intensity.
A few minutes later, he finally adapted.
Control Power was regained, and his enormous form began to slowly contract.
Ten meters, nine meters, eight meters... finally reverted to the slender shape under one meter ninety.
Jeming stood up, moved his limbs to ensure everything was normal, then raised his hand to close the smelting furnace.
The furnace door opened, and he stepped out.
Outside was a massive array connected to various detection instruments.
Jeming stepped to the center of the array, immersed his Spiritual Power, and began to assess the state of his body.
On the light screen, lines of data rapidly fluctuated.
[Body Strength Evaluation: Peak of Sixth Level]
[High Temperature Resistance: Increased by 7%]
[Low Temperature Resistance: Increased by 5%]
[Lightning Resistance: Increased by 6%]
[Corrosion Resistance: Increased by 4%]
[Gravity Resistance: Increased by 3%]
[Physical Impact Resistance: Increased by 8%]
[Overall Resistance: Improved by 5.2% compared to yesterday]
Jeming looked at these figures, nodding in satisfaction.
The strength of his body can be rapidly enhanced using the special array of "Time Residue," so his body strength progresses quickly.
But resistance training must be "nourished" with real damage.
Every type of damage requires separate adaptation, and each resistance needs specialized training.
It’s quite cumbersome, with absolutely no shortcuts.
However, the effect after completion is quite good. Now, even without any protection, Jeming can withstand attacks from an ordinary Fifth Level Wizard without getting hurt.
Jeming turned off the light screen and headed towards the nearby bath.
It was a circular pool with a diameter of about ten meters, filled with deep green liquid.
Jeming stepped into the pool, submerging his entire body in the liquid, leaving only his head exposed.
The warm sensation enveloped his body, and the fatigue and injuries accumulated in the melting pot were being gradually repaired by the liquid.
"Whew..."
He sighed comfortably, closed his eyes, and enjoyed this rare moment of relaxation.
Before long, he heard soft footsteps by the poolside.
Jeming opened his eyes and saw a Black Giant Priest standing respectfully by the pool, holding a crystal tablet.
"Sir, the experimental data is out."
Jeming took the crystal tablet and glanced over its content.
It was a series of test reports on Moonlight Power.
Since his initial tests using Moonlight Power, the Black Giant Priests began conducting large-scale systematic experiments.
In these past months, they’ve used the arrays to collect Moonlight Power for various trials: applying it to Black Giants, ordinary flora and fauna, and even some special plants transplanted from other planes.
Jeming read line by line.
[Test One: The Impact of Moonlight Power on the Souls of Black Giants]
[Sample Size: 12,757 (Third Level to Fifth Level)]
[Method: Inject one unit of Moonlight Power daily for thirty days]
[Result: Average Soul Strength increased by 0.3%; average spiritual reaction increased by 0.7%; no significant side effects]
[Conclusion: Effective but limited. Recommended for long-term use as a regular enhancement method.]
Jeming nodded.
It was consistent with the results from his previous tests.
In terms of soul enhancements, Moonlight Power can only be described as "mediocre."
Effective, but not impressive compared to specialized magic potions; however, it’s easily obtainable and cost-free.
He continued reading.
[Test Two: The Impact of Moonlight Power on the Growth of Ordinary Flora and Fauna]
[Sample: 137 species of native plants from the Purgatory Sulfur Plane, 67 ordinary animal species]
[Method: Daily infusion of Moonlight Power for thirty days]
[Result: Average plant growth speed increased by 35%; average animal development speed increased by 22%; no significant mutations]
[Conclusion: Significantly promotes growth in ordinary organisms. Applicable to agriculture and animal husbandry.]
This also matched Jeming’s earlier hypothesis, suggesting potential applications in cultivating extraordinary plants.
Jeming continued reading.
[Test Three: The Impact of Moonlight Power on the Quality of Plant-Based Materials]
[Sample: 1,350 types of Low Tier plant materials such as Fire Pattern Grass, Sulfur Flower, Lava Fruit]
[Method: Infuse with Moonlight Power for thirty to sixty days while materials are still alive]
[Result: See appended table]
Jeming turned directly to the appended table.
The changes in the quality of each material were recorded meticulously.
For instance, Fire Pattern Grass, originally a material only suitable for refining First Level magic potions, improved to the standard for refining Second Level magic potions after fifty days of Moonlight infusion.
Sulfur Flower’s original potion success rate was only 60%, but after Moonlight infusion, it increased to over 80%, with a 40% increase in active ingredient concentration.
Most remarkable was something called "Cold Glow Grass," which Jeming had transplanted from the Frost Plane.
Despite constructing a dedicated environment simulation cultivation chamber, the plant never grew well in the Purgatory Sulfur Plane.
Jeming had almost given up on it, but according to the experimental results, after two months of Moonlight infusion, it began to thrive, its quality surpassing even its original habitat.
Jeming looked at the data, a faint smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
While Moonlight Power’s impact in soul enhancement is only average, its ability to enhance the quality of plant materials is almost miraculous.
Many plant materials initially considered low-grade within the same category could be elevated to high-grade materials after being infused with Moonlight Power.
Although the "quality" of the materials themselves did not break through to a new level, reaching the high-quality standard within the same category is sufficient.
Of course, the prerequisite is that these plants are still alive.
If they are preprocessed magic potion materials or dried vegetation, Moonlight Power would be ineffective.
Jeming quickly calculated in his mind.
His research projects were increasing, as were the costs of materials.
High Tier materials can be worth tens of thousands of low-level military merits, and the quantity consumed in each research or experiment was staggering.
Even with substantial wealth, spending such amounts was painful.
But if he could "upgrade" low-quality materials into high-quality ones using Moonlight Power, he would only need to purchase substandard materials of the same type for his experiments in the future.
How much would that save?
Jeming lifted his hand from the medicinal bath and casually picked up a fruit from the fruit tray beside him, taking a bite.
It was a native fruit from the Purgatory Sulfur Plane, originally sour and unpalatable, normally eaten by low-level creatures.
But this fruit was an "experimental sample" infused with Moonlight Power for three months.
The flesh was sweet and tangy, with a subtle, pleasant fragrance.
Jeming savored the change, nodding in satisfaction.
At that moment, another Black Giant Priest approached quickly, bowing respectfully.
"Sir, the experimental platform is ready."
Jeming’s eyes lit up.
He stood up, the liquid on his body transforming into a fitted Wizard Robe under the light of Alchemy.
"Let’s go."
