Skin refining complete

It had been more than half a month since Matthew accepted Natasha as his disciple and taught her the techniques he had made up.

The past half month has been the most comfortable life Mathew had experienced since his transmigration.

He a student to act as his coolie every day, and he doesn't have to cook, feed chickens, grow vegetables, etc. by himself.

Every day he would either sleep, wander around the village, or leisurely lie on his reclining chair.

"There is only a small piece of the five elements flowers left, and it might not last too long."

Matthew lamented, the effect was really great and after consuming it for more than half a month, he could clearly feel the changes in his body.

He felt ten years younger, his mind has improved, his eyesight had improved surpassing that of his youth, and his body become much stronger.

'I wonder if Natasha will go fetch some more after this batch finishes…'

Mathew lay on the chair and muttered in his heart.

He glaced sideways at Natasha who was doing push ups, and felt a little confused.

"It's been more than half a month, how can she be so calm? This calm temperament is really great, but it's a pity that her brain is not very good."

"That's good. The calmer her temper is, the better for me, the more advantageous it will be.."

" But it has been more than half a month and she hasn't accomplished anything yet, does she not have any doubts all?"

Mathew was puzzled.

"I should ask her while we eat dinner if she has any questions and fulfill some responsibilities as her teacher."

"Let me think about what would better fool her…"

Mathew thought about how to make his lies more reasonable, how to comfort Natasha, and how to encourage her to continue to persevere.

'I finally succeeded in skin refining!'

Natasha, who was exercising, felt a surge of mana and blood all over her body, and her skin membranes tightened and then relaxed.

At this moment, she felt a big improvement.

She had finished refining her skin!

"The teacher was right, you can't be impatient while practicing, and you must balance work with rest."

"While I take time every day to cook, feed chickens, grow vegetables, and even sweep the leafs, it seems that my time for practicing is reduced, but this improves my state of mind, and an improved state of mind makes my practice to be faster and easier!"

"The teacher's realm must be very high!"

Natasha was amazed in her heart.

'My teacher is indeed a hidden teacher !'

Every word, every deed, and every little bit of advice had benefited her greatly.

Glancing at Mathew who was lying on the chair, Natasha showed envy and yearning in her eyes.

"When will I reach the my teacher's level? He may seem like an ordinary mortal, but this is the real expert mage."

Perhaps this is what the teacher meant when he once said, returning to nature.

"I can't aim too high. I have to be down-to-earth. One day, I will become a strong mage like my teacher!"

Natasha was lost in thought and started encouraging herself.

"In less than twenty days, I have completed the skin refining, and I am only one step away from perfection."

"I will take three to five days to try refine my skin further, maybe it will be even better, then I will move on to the bones."

"After I finish refining the skin again, I will ask teacher about the details of refining the bones."

"Teacher said that a supreme genius can complete skin refining in five days, although I can't compare supreme geniuses, I completed the skin refining in less than a month, so I should be pretty good, right?"

Natasha glaced at the direction of the sun and saw that it was about time to cook, so she called it a day and went to the chicken coop to catch a chicken..

When killing the chicken , Natasha suddenly felt something in her heart.

"The teacher said that after successfully refining the skin I would be invulnerable swords and won't be easily hurt right?"

"Why don't I give it a try?"

She wanted to slash herself with the knife, but she didn't dare to be too ruthless to herself.

Natasha first inspected her skin, she found that it looked more delicate and flawless, and was very soft to the touch.

She felt a little doubt in her heart.

"Can this soft skin be truly invulnerable to cuts?"

But thinking about how her teacher had never been wrong, she decided to do some more testing.

To her surprise, she found that at normal times her skin would be soft, but if a strong enough force acts on it, it would automatically become very tough.

She tried making a small cut on her skin, but there was a metallic clanging sound and the knife did not break her skin.

Holding the kitchen knife in her right hand, Natasha scratched her arm.

To her astonishment, she found that there was a pale mark on her skin that disappeared soon afterwards.

As a person who has refined her skin, she is naturally unlike ordinary people, so her effortless stroke was actually very strong.

"Is this the defensive power brought by refining one's skin with mana?"

Natasha was very excited.

Although she didn't use much force with, she could easily cut open the chicken with that power.

If an ordinary person was scratched like that, the cut might be bone deep and injury would be serious, however, it couldn't leave a single scratch on her skin.

"If it is as teacher said, then right now it will be difficult for me to be hurt by ordinary swords!"

Natasha was full of expectations for the next refining of bones and even internal organs.

…

"I am very pleased that you have been able to remain calm and composed these days, neither being arrogant nor impetuous."

Mathew said after careful consideration during the dinner.

"Teacher, I understand. I have been guarding against being arrogant, avoiding impetuosity, and trying to stay calm!"

Natasha responded respectfully.

She was glad in my heart that she was not impatient and could keep her composure, which left a good impression on her teacher.

'After practicing for such a long time, Natasha seems calm and composed, but she must be anxious inside, I should comfort her and let her persist.

'Now that things have come to this, I can only continue to fool her.'

Mathew muttered in his heart then he said:

"In the journey of becoming a mage, the most important thing is persistence, firm will, calmness and a steady heart."

"It is not advisable to rush for quick success. You have to remember."

"Yes teacher, I understand!"

Natasha nodded solemnly as she suddenly realized in her heart:

'I have just mastered skin refining, he must be afraid that I will be eager for quick success and rashly start refining bones without a solid foundation."

'So it was the right decision to dedicate a few more days to skin refining, I have to be more solid before refining my bones, I can't be impatient and leave a frizzy impression on my teacher !'

Natasha warned herself in her heart not to become complacent just because her strength has improved a little.

Mathew didn't know that Natasha had already analysed his words in her on way her mind, and he didn't know that she had not only sensed mana, but she had also completed the skin refining process.

Seeing that Natasha listened to his instructions so well, he felt relieved.

'This apprentice is very good, it is just that she is not smart enough.'

'It is a good thing she met me, if she had met anyone else, she might be deceived out of her family's wealth!'

'It's a pity that I am not a hidden expert, otherwise I would accept such a respectful and sensible student."

Mathew sighed in his heart.

Then he said again:

"I know that you should have accumulated some questions about your practice, I will now address your doubs."

Hearing this, Natasha immediately perked up and she showed excitement.

"The teacher knows that I am about tostart refining bones, and I must have some questions about refining bones."

"He first warned me not to be impatient, but to calm down, and then answered my questions, this would not only appease my impatient heart, but also allow me to understand the refining process of bones better."

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that every word of her teacher was full of profound meaning.

"I have no doubts about the method of skin refining, so I would like to ask about bone refining."

"Is there anything particular about it?"

"To what extent can bones be refined?"

"When is refining considered complete?"

…

Mathew was stunned by Natasha asking questions about bone refining.

The words he had planned in advance were all lies about sensing mana and how to go about skin refining..

Unexpectedly, Natasha asked about the method of bone refining!

He had not made up the lies about bone refining yet!
