51: Chapter 51 Bug

*Pa!*

*Pa!* *Pa!*

As Mo Bai finished a set of movements, his clothes snapped in the wind; this set of body tempering movements was urgent and fierce.

This was the fundamental tone of this Body Tempering Method; if it wasn't fierce or fast enough, it couldn't create the resonance of the bones.

Without the resonance of the bones, the Elemental Power could not be integrated, so it had to be swift and violent.

But this also raised a problem.

"The body tempering movements are too fierce and rigid. Practicing a set can indeed integrate a lot of Elemental Power, but the damage to the muscles also exists."

"Practicing a few more times a day would definitely result in muscle strains all over the body. Over time, the hidden injuries accumulated in the body would continue to build up, and it's not impossible to practice oneself to death."

"No, to be precise, death would be inevitable, and it wouldn't take very long."

Mo Bai took a deep breath.

"To practice this, there must be a sufficient supply of healing medicinal herbs. After every practice session, medicine must be used to recover from the bodily damage, ensuring repair before continuing cultivation."

"Otherwise, hidden injuries will keep accumulating."

"Martial arts cannot be separated from medicine; attempting to cultivate forcefully without medicine is certain death."

Mo Bai's movements paused slightly as he looked at the seven Body Tempering Methods drawn on the stone wall with data, symbols, and simple line diagrams.

Using a single set could only use one type of Elemental Power to strengthen a creature.

Using all seven sets allowed the use of all Elemental Powers without the need for refinement.

"Where can I find medicinal herbs?"

Mo Bai pondered slightly; this was practically a blind spot for players.

If they collected medicinal herbs, they would immediately sell them to the natives.

They didn't need to use the herbs themselves—that would be too wasteful. Wouldn't it be better to sell them for money?

Mo Bai took a look; even the gifts previously sent by the three major guilds didn't contain any medicinal herbs.

Go to Oak Town to buy some?

A thought popped into his head, but he then shook his head slightly.

"Buying them is too cost-ineffective, and how to use or consume them is another headache."

"Herbs with good effects are definitely expensive, and those with poor effects... well, they have poor effects and take up too much time."

"It's still best to find a way to solve this problem at the magical level."

"It would be great if there was a healing spell."

Mo Bai pondered slightly, but without a healing spell, he couldn't conjure one out of thin air; he could only look for one later.

A thought was faintly forming in his mind now.

"Relatively speaking, the water element can sense some nourishing aura, and the wood element has an effect that stimulates vitality."

"Can I use Spiritual Power to guide the water element and wood element to specifically nourish the injured areas while they are integrating into the body?"

"Can this step be integrated into the body tempering movements?"

Mo Bai thought for a moment and then began to experiment.

He didn't use the body tempering movements, but simply guided the wood and water elements onto the faint hidden injuries within his body.

At first, he simulated the normal use of the wood element Body Tempering Method; the wood element integrated directly into the bones, and only after a long time did the wood element slowly seep out from the bones, with the change in the hidden injuries being negligible.

After trying a few times, Mo Bai used his Spiritual Power to guide the Elemental Power seeping out from the bones to gather at the hidden injuries, slowly nourishing them; only then did the hidden injuries slowly recover.

When he switched to the water element, the effect was similar; pure Elemental Power had to have a sufficient concentration integrated into it to have a nourishing effect.

However, only minor injuries could be repaired; as for more serious injuries...

At this point, Mo Bai gave up.

"Directly using the wood and water element Body Tempering Methods is completely useless; the Elemental Power is transmitted outward starting from the bones, and the concentration is too low to complete the repair of hidden injuries."

"And using the Body Tempering Method to guide the two elements to nourish the body... is also unrealistic. Even if the areas of hidden injuries are relatively fixed, the Body Tempering Method cannot complete such high-precision operations."

"Until I find a healing spell, I must use Spiritual Power to guide the nourishment."

Mo Bai pondered for a moment and then directly called Ye Qing and Zhou Rin over.

"Brother Mo, is something the matter?"

A panting Ye Qing came over and asked.

"A good thing."

The corners of Mo Bai's mouth curled up slightly.

"Follow my lead."

As soon as he spoke, Mo Bai began to move.

*Da!*

*Da!*

*Da!*

The rapid movements made his clothes snap. Ye Qing and Zhou Rin watched curiously, and the next moment they heard Mo Bai say:

"This is a newly developed Body Tempering Method."

The moment he said that, both of their eyes widened slightly.

"Body Tempering Method?"

The excited pair didn't hesitate at all, their mental states instantly adjusting to their best.

Once Mo Bai finished a round, Ye Qing repeated it immediately, achieving about seventy to eighty percent of the movements, while Zhou Rin also repeated it, achieving about half of the standard accuracy.

It had to be said that the talent of these two in the field of movement was extraordinary.

No wonder Ye Qing was previously the top expert in Oak Town.

"Correct, keep watching closely."

After Mo Bai finished speaking, he directly performed seven sets of movements, making himself quite hungry.

Meanwhile, Ye Qing completed over ninety percent of the movements after Mo Bai slightly adjusted the details.

*Buzz!*

In an instant, the mixed Elemental Power Mo Bai had gathered vibrated slightly.

He immediately noticed that the six types of Elemental Power, along with his Spiritual Power, were all integrating into Ye Qing's body under the effect of the Body Tempering Method.

"Wait, Spiritual Power?"

Mo Bai was suddenly stunned.

He immediately remembered that everyone's Spiritual Power frequency has slight differences, and the frequency standard for the Spiritual Power portion of the Body Tempering Method was based on his own Spiritual Power.

So, while his Spiritual Power was assisting in perception within Ye Qing's body, it was also being integrated into Ye Qing's body as a supernatural force by the Body Tempering Method.

The Spiritual Power Mo Bai used for investigation was a derivative power of the Spiritual Power source in his mind.

It was like the relationship between muscle and strength; as long as the muscle is there, strength will recover with stamina even if it's used up. But if the muscle is gone, the strength truly disappears and will not recover.

Therefore, this integrated Spiritual Power was harmless to Mo Bai himself and would recover after a while; it was no different from the consumption of normal investigation or casting spells.

It was just that this situation itself was very strange.

A bug!

This thought popped into Mo Bai's head, and he instinctively prepared to find a way to adjust it.

But the next moment he paused, becoming slightly curious.

"But then again, what changes will occur when a body integrates my Spiritual Power?"

His heart stirred with curiosity, and his probing gaze made Ye Qing feel a faint sense of unease, causing him to instinctively take two steps back.

"Ye Qing, how do you feel?"

The retreating Ye Qing then snapped out of it, stepped forward slightly, and after a moment of pondering, said:

"It feels quite wonderful, though I can't say exactly how. Can I try again?"

"You can. Zhou Rin, you should follow along and learn more as well."

Zhou Rin, who was watching from the side, nodded repeatedly.

Before long, after Mo Bai corrected some details, Zhou Rin also successfully performed a complete set of the Body Tempering Method, finishing one cycle of its operation.

However, Mo Bai never had his Spiritual Power enveloping...
