Chapter 22: Recovery

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

The heart-piercing pain which he had endured for two years was gone, and the broken magic rune fragments in his body were showing up, one by one. In the two years, he had tried repeatedly to rely on his own strength to restore them, but the progress had been slow. But now, he could see with his naked eye that the broken runes were being rapidly restored. But they were not being restored according to the magic runes condensed from the previous bronze-tier meditation technique, the Waterfall Meditation Technique. Instead, they were being restored according to the high-grade silver-tier meditation technique he currently possessed.

After the runes had been restored, he saw that the magic patterns were very complicated and mysterious. The magical waves emitted were much stronger than before, at least three or four times stronger.

So strong, the medicinal effect is really strong. The cultivation technique is also very powerful, not only can it restore but it can also strengthen! This is really great!

Ron exclaimed in his heart, but he immediately put away his thoughts and focused on working at the Wave Meditation Technique. One by one, the broken magic runes were also being restored quickly.

One…

Two…

Three

After the five magic runes had been fully restored, not only did he recover fully from his injuries, his strength was also restored to that of a level-5 Mage.

But that was not all. He continued to work at the Wave Meditation Technique. With the exercise of the Wave Meditation Technique, his magical power surged and traces of magical energy began to construct new magic runes.

The sixth magic rune!

The seventh magic rune!

The eighth magic rune!

After Ron had restored all the broken magic runes, he managed to even condense three more magic runes in a row. In just one night, he had directly advanced three levels!

No one would believe it if they were told this, because even the greatest genius would not be so fantastic as to advance three levels in one night. However, Ron’s situation was different. Although he had been injured in the past two years, he had not stopped meditating. Instead, he had spent even more time meditating than before and had cultivated more painstakingly. Moreover, the excruciating pain during his cultivation had been constantly stimulating the potential in his body.

Now the two years of suppressed potential and the two years of meditation had all been converted into his strength after he had recovered from his injuries.

This was what had caused such a small miracle now. He had advanced three levels in a row overnight! He was now a level-8 Mage! Ron felt a strong magical power in his body which he had never felt before, and he was so excited that he could not calm down for a long while.

All of a sudden, he tasted something salty on the corners of his mouth. Ron was stunned, and then he realized immediately that tears were streaming down his face.

He had never thought that he would cry. When he was injured, and his cultivation base was incapacitated, he did not cry. When he was mocked for being a piece of trash, he also did not cry. When his clansmen looked at him with disappointment, he also did not cry. However, now that his cultivation base was restored, he had cried. But, he allowed his tears to flow freely. He had waited too hard for this day to arrive.

At daybreak, Ron got dressed, washed up, and came to the ancestral hall directly, greeted by the first rays of the morning sun. Then, he burned incense and kowtowed, kneeling heavily before Romo’s ancestral tablet. “Thank you for giving me back my life, Old Ancestor!”

“Ding… Worship by descendant. Received 100 Faith Points. The effect of the Faith Candle has been activated. Received additional 100 Faith Points!”

Upon hearing the notification from the System, Romo nodded in satisfaction. When Ron paid his respects previously, there were only 10 Faith Points, which meant that he had paid his respect to his Old Ancestor out of politeness, but had not believed in the existence of his Old Ancestor. However, now his Faith Points had reached the maximum value of the Mage realm. To get more Faith Points, he would have to advance to the realm of the Great Mage.

Romo then took a look at Ron’s cultivation base. 

Hmm? Not only has he recovered his cultivation base, he has also advanced by three levels and become a level-8 Mage. He is truly amazing and befittingly, the hope of the family. It seems really worthwhile to nurture him!

With this thought, Romo immediately remembered that he still had a Marrow Cleansing Pill in his possession. This pill could cleanse the marrow and improve one’s aptitude. Now that Ron’s magical power aptitude was already level-4, he could give the Marrow Cleansing Pill to Ron and let his magical power aptitude improve further. This way, his cultivation would definitely be faster.

With this thought, Romo’s tablet emitted a faint golden light. Seeing this, Ron became excited. This was obviously the Old Ancestor’s response to him.

Then, he saw a golden pill slowly floating toward him. He looked at the pill excitedly. Although he did not know what pill it was, it certainly would not be just any ordinary pill, since it was given by the Old Ancestor. He caught the pill with both hands and immediately, a medicinal fragrance richer than that of the Magic Essence Pill drifted into his nostrils.

“Old Ancestor, is this for me?” Ron looked at Romo’s tablet excitedly and said.

Romo was unable to speak to the other party directly, so he had to use his cold spell ability again.

Immediately, the entire ancestral hall was filled with cold air. Ron saw several large characters appear in front of him, condensed from the cold air.

“Marrow Cleansing Pill: It can increase one’s aptitude! Ingest it!”

It is indeed for him, and it is the legendary Marrow Cleansing Pill! 

Ron was beside himself from the excitement.

“Thank you, Old Ancestor!” Ron kowtowed again. Then, he directly sat down cross-legged in the ancestral hall and ingested the Marrow Cleansing Pill in one gulp. Instantly, Ron felt the powerful medicinal effects consuming his entire body. He felt as if his entire body was burning in flames and he was in so much pain that he wanted to scream. However, as he had been in such pain for the past two years, he was still able to fully endure this level of pain, except for some sweat on his forehead.

Romo nodded.

This kid is indeed determined. The pain from the Marrow Cleansing Pill as it cleanses the bone marrows is no ordinary pain. Yet, he is able to endure it without uttering a sound. With such a determination alone, his achievements in future would definitely be boundless. 

Romo had become increasingly pleased with Ron.

Half an hour later, the effects from the Marrow Cleansing Pill were gone. Ron felt refreshed; he had never felt so comfortable before. He gently circulated the magic runes in his body and was surprised to find that the areas which were a little congested previously had all disappeared. All the magic runes were moving very smoothly.

Romo clicked open the information on Ron.
