Chapter 99 - 99: Consuming Pills
Theo returned to the bedroom with the others, including sisters Aine and Nanda. He set up a simple formation he bought from his System. Of course, he had already warned sisters Aine and Nanda about it, who didn't mind.
"Alright, I now have three types of Pills that will help a lot in our cultivation!" Theo smiled and said, "Let's start with these Pills first…"
He took the bottle that contained the [Rising Pill]. "These are the same ones sold at Ang Village. But unlike those ones which could only cleanse 10% of the body's impurities… this has the effect of cleaning 50% of the body's impurities!"
"Ohh! This is amazing!" Zaika and Zaira exclaimed loudly.
"Yeah, that's why we'll use it first, there are also others, well, then I'll explain about the others later after we're done absorbing these!" Theo said.
"Yes!" They nodded in unison.
Theo gave one Pill to each of them and instructed them to start. They soon sat on the floor before beginning to ingest their Pill.
Just moments after swallowing it and using their cultivation techniques to digest it, they felt a powerful, pure energy flow through their bodies. As it passed through, they could feel as it washed away all impurities. It was a very exceptional and exciting feeling, as they could feel how much better their bodies were becoming. And also at the same time, when their pores were expelling the impurities from their bodies…
Even their meridians were being cleansed by this energy. It was making it easier and more accessible for them to pull Mana from both Heaven and Earth!
A while later…
"Hmm. I think the effect has finished going through my body…" Theo opened his eyes, just to see a significant amount of impurities that had oozed out of his body.
After using "<Clean>" three times, he finally managed to get rid of the stench and grime.
Looking in the direction of Zaika and Zaira, Theo was startled because the amount of impurity they expelled was at least twice as much as he had. Well, they have been cultivating to this day with horrible techniques, so you would expect them to have so many impurities in their bodies.
As they were still at the mercy of absorbing the Pill, Theo wanted to test the effects of a [Blood Nutrition Pill].
Taking the Pill from the bottle, swallowing it and sitting on the floor in the lotus position, Theo began to practice his cultivation technique.
"Ugh! My blood feels like it's boiling!"
Gritting his teeth, Theo began to feel every blood cell boiling like an erupting volcano! It was so hot that he thought it would melt his whole body.
Thanks to his pain tolerance being at a considerably high level, he ended up holding back his screams, despite the excruciating levels he had to endure. For he did not want to scare the girls and somehow end up harming them in the middle of their cultivation.
He now began to rethink whether to let them use this Pill as well… as much as it helped to increase their power, the pain that they would have to go through was nothing that could be accepted lightly.
But he could feel in his body the wonders that this Pill was doing in his blood cells. Although it no longer filled cells of its lineage, the blood cells in his body eventually grew stronger and more powerful.
Sweating all over his body, Theo felt the effect of the Pill begin to pass. But still, a hint of fear could be seen in his eyes. For he did not expect that he would go through such an infernal pain the moment he consumed it.
"Damn, there should have been a warning saying it would cause such severe pain…" He couldn't help cursing in his mind.
But still, he had a smile on his face after the pain was gone… because he felt every cell in his body getting so much more powerful than before!
It also made him want to go on an adventure to hunt down some monster villages to test his current strength.
"Okay, after they've finished taking their current Pill, I'll talk to them." He took the other bottle containing the [Iron Tendon Pill].
This was also the great advantage of having a higher cultivation. While the others are still using the first Pill, to cleanse impurities from their body, he had already used two different types of Pills and was ready to start the next one.
Using <Clean> on his body, Theo meditated a little to regain a calm state of mind, and then he prepared to consume the next Pill.
"Okay, let's start the next one." Theo took the Pill and immediately put it in his mouth and began practicing his cultivation technique.
As soon as the Pill's energy began to spread throughout his body, it flowed freely in all directions. Strengthening tendons from the neck, arms, hands, feet, ankles, shoulders, elbows, etc.
Although it did hurt a bit while it worked, it was not even half as bad as the [Blood Nutrition Pill]. He also found it mildly refreshing. For he could feel that his tendons were providing an even greater connection of his muscles to his bones than before. It assisted the balance of his body even more. The advancement of his movements was improved, distributing the force of his muscles.
Tendons also provide joint stability (joint between two bones) of the body joints.
After he finished digesting the Pill and strengthening his tendons, Theo not only felt more power in his body but also more stability. He could even move his toes more dextrously, just like the fingers of his hand. It was something very new and surprising to Theo. His only dissatisfaction if he was to say it was that he couldn't use more than one of this Pill.
"Haha, I'm really feeling quite greedy." Theo sneered at himself and thought, "I should be happy to be able to use these Pills, even if it's only able to be used once."
Theo opened his eyes and noticed that Yuki and Little Yui had already finished consuming their own Pills.
Seeing them staring at him with his hands on his nose, Theo wanted to laugh but managed to hold back. He approached them and said, "I'll use <Clean> on you, okay?"
"Yes, quick Daddy, Yui can't take this smell anymore!" Little Yui exclaimed loudly.
Yuki also nodded hastily with her head. Because for them who have a very acute sense of smell, the smell of the impurities that came out of their bodies was unbearable.
