9 Chapter 3: Transformation and Rebirth

"Time is running out?" Fang Han was engrossed in the fascinating details of the outside world that he had just heard.

"That's right. I was struck by Fang Qingxue's Purple Lightning Yin Thunder Sword, which severed my entire life force. I can only hold on for a little while longer. The Purple Lightning Yin Thunder Sword is one of the Yuhua Sect's eight great divine skills, using one's mana to gather various forms of thunder, true fire, and the essence of the five elements, its power is enormous," Bai Haichen gasped, "Just now, the effect of the Nine Orifice Golden Pill awakened me."

"The Nine Orifice Golden Pill can heal your injuries?" Fang Han rolled his eyes.

"The Nine Orifice Golden Pill is the world's number one medicine for strengthening and nourishing one's foundation. If I had taken it before I was injured, I would have entered the Mystical Realm, but it's too late now," Bai Haichen shook his head.

"Master, please accept me as your disciple," Fang Han bowed without hesitation, as this was a great opportunity for him.

After seeing Fang Han bow three times, Bai Haichen nodded.

"From now on, you will be a disciple of our Starfield Sect. The Starfield Sect stands alongside the Yuhua Sect as one of the Ten Gates of Immortal Dao. I am also a disciple of the sect. This time, when I came across the Nine Orifice Golden Pill and the Jiaofu Netherworld Map at Netherworld Mountain, I planned to present them to the sect, and thus become a True Disciple."

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why you didn't take the Nine Orifice Golden Pill after obtaining it. It turns out that there are greater benefits after offering it to the sect. It seems that in the future, I should just swallow any benefits I get and not think about the consequences. The benefits in my belly are the real benefits." Fang Han thought to himself.

"Since you are a disciple of the Starfield Sect, why don't you ask me to take this pill and treasure map to the Starfield Sect?" Fang Han asked.

"The journey to the Starfield Sect is thousands of miles away and not within the territory of the Great Li Kingdom. Can you reach there? Moreover, there are many disciples of our Starfield Sect, and everyone wants to become a True Disciple. I'm afraid that once you go there, the items will be snatched away," Bai Haichen said, "So I will let you get closer to Fang Qingxue and join the Yuhua Sect first. Then, survive within the Yuhua Sect. Once you become powerful enough, steal the Yuhua Sect's true scriptures and present them to the Sect Master of the Starfield Sect. With such great merit, the Sect Master may consider rewarding me with his supreme mana, possibly even reviving me. You would also be greatly honored!"

"I'm just a stable boy in the Fang Family; it's impossible for me to gain Miss Fang's appreciation," Fang Han licked his lips.

"The Nine Orifice Golden Pill can do that. It can change your body's constitution and cause a dramatic transformation in your blood and Qi. Your bone marrow will be refined, and you will become talented and attractive. Others may not notice, but Fang Qingxue has already cultivated her divine skill to the third level of the Yuan Gang Realm, and she will definitely be able to see that your foundations are extraordinary," Bai Haichen seemed to have thought of a completely foolproof plan.

"Divine skill triple level, Yuan Gang Realm? What is that?" Fang Han caught a glimpse of some cultivation clues.

"The physical body has ten realms. After stepping into the Mystical Realm, there are also ten realms! Once the divine skill is cultivated to the tenth and final level, one can reverse life and death, step into the Longevity Secret Realm, remain unharmed for thousands of years, freely transform, and be reborn from a single drop of blood. By that time, you will truly be the ruler of the universe and the true lord between Heaven and Earth. Those who can step into the Longevity Secret Realm are only the sect leaders of the Top Ten Sects, the Demon Emperor, and some other reclusive figures who do not belong to our level. We are ants, and they are magnificent roc birds that laugh and soar in the sky. I cannot explain the ten realms of the Mystical Realm one by one for you. In any case, what's most important for you now is to do what I said."

Bai Haichen's breathing became rougher and rougher as he spoke, as if he had just expended a lot of his energy and spirit. Feeling that he couldn't hold on much longer, he suddenly made his move.

Whoosh!

Fang Han only felt Bai Haichen's long, dark green nails, sharp as knives, tearing through his clothes directly over his heart.

Then, the nails plunged into his flesh, drawing blood.

"Damn, he's not a good person. He wants to dig out my heart!" Fang Han felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if his heart was about to be gouged out.

Pop!

At that moment, Bai Haichen picked up the Nine Orifice Golden Pill, "What a pity, my entire body has been burned and the blood is not flowing. This Golden Pill will benefit you instead."

As he spoke, he pressed the Nine Orifice Golden Pill.

He then forced the Golden Pill through the wound in Fang Han's chest, sewing it into his flesh.

"The method to use the Nine Orifice Golden Pill is not to swallow it or apply it externally. Even if you swallow it, it will not be digested and will be expelled whole," Bai Haichen said, "The only way to use it is to create a cavity in the heart, sew it in, and then use the power of the heart's blood circulation to continuously wash it. Its medicinal properties will gradually dissolve into the blood, eventually replacing the old blood, refining one's marrow, and transforming one's body. By then, your cultivation will progress at a rapid pace......"

"It really hurts..."

Fang Han's chest ached as his flesh was pierced by the nails, and he gritted his teeth and endured the pain. However, it was soon over as the Nine Orifice Golden Pill was sewn into his flesh, and its medicinal properties began to spread. The torn flesh began to heal, the bleeding stopped, and in the end, only a faint scar remained.
