Chapter 586 Daily Life
That day, Jemin was doing his regular workout.
Inside the smelting furnace, the temperature had already climbed to the level of the depths of a star.
Jemin sat naked, cross-legged in the hearth.
The surrounding area was filled with blinding blue light, a temperature high enough to instantly vaporize any substance, but his skin was only slightly red, and he didn't even break a sweat.
This is his daily practice of body tempering techniques.
Without relying on any protective magic or mobilizing any energy shields, they resisted this extreme environment purely with their physical bodies.
With his eyes closed, Jemin sensed the reaction of every inch of his skin, every muscle, and every bone in his body to the high temperature.
While those cells were being burned, they were also rapidly regenerating. The regenerated cells were stronger and more resistant to high temperatures than before.
This is the core of the Body Tempering Method: Adaptive Evolution.
Endure damage, adapt to damage, and eventually become immune to damage.
Suddenly, the environment inside the furnace changed.
The high temperatures vanished instantly, replaced by extreme cold.
That kind of cold wasn't ordinary cold; it was an absolute low temperature capable of freezing the soul.
A layer of white frost instantly formed on Jemin's body, and even his breath turned into ice crystals.
But he remained motionless.
Immediately afterwards, countless bolts of lightning appeared out of thin air and struck him wildly.
Each bolt of lightning was powerful enough to shatter the protective shield of a level five wizard, but when it struck Jemin, it only caused his muscles to twitch slightly. Following the lightning came the acid.
This acid, created by supernatural forces, can corrode most substances and burn deep, bottomless pits when dripped on the ground. But when it landed on Jemin, it only made a slight "sizzling" sound, leaving shallow white marks that then healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After acid comes wind blades, after wind blades comes crushing gravity, and after crushing gravity comes high temperature...
Round after round, in an endless cycle.
After sensing it for a while, Jemin frowned slightly.
"This level of intensity is a bit too weak for me right now."
He raised his hand and made a gesture in the air, and the magic array on the furnace wall immediately adjusted, instantly increasing the attack power by 30%.
boom!
A bolt of lightning, twice as thick as the previous one, struck Jemin on the shoulder, causing his body to tremble.
A charred scar appeared on his shoulder, but it was quickly filled with new muscle tissue.
Just as Jemin was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt a strange surge of heat within his body.
He looked down at his hands.
My hands are swelling.
The swelling is not due to congestion or damage, but rather "growth".
The muscles under the skin proliferated wildly, and the bones grew thicker and longer at a visible speed, causing the person's body size to swell from less than 1.9 meters to more than 10 meters in just a few seconds.
Golden light emanated from his body, illuminating the entire smelting furnace in a dazzling golden glow.
His originally slender body became muscular, and the lines of his muscles became unusually ferocious, each one looking as if it were cast from fine steel, full of explosive power.
Between his brows, a ray of golden light shone exceptionally brightly, like a third eye.
Jemin looked down at his enormous hands and sighed, as if it were nothing new.
Again.
This form is his "true form".
After cultivating the Body Tempering Technique to a certain level, in order to support stronger muscles and bones, the body will continue to grow taller and the muscles will also increase in size. Therefore, this enormous and imposing posture is his true form.
His usual tall and slender figure, less than 1.9 meters tall, is actually a compressed version of his physique.
This is a common occurrence among wizards.
Many wizards have long since transformed themselves to be completely unlike humans.
Some had foreign organs implanted, some underwent mechanization, and some simply had their bodies replaced with elemental condensates.
In daily life, they look like human beings, but once they enter combat mode, they are no longer human at all.
Some wizards even maintain an inhuman appearance in their daily lives, such as those who transform themselves into half-human, half-snake beings, or those who replace their heads with tentacle monsters.
However, such cases are rare.
After all, most facilities, including teleportation arrays, laboratories, and medical pods, are built in human form.
Maintaining a human body shape on a daily basis would be more convenient.
As Jemin endured the ever-increasing attacks from his surroundings, he simultaneously activated his body-strengthening technique, allowing his body to gradually adapt to the intensity of the damage.
A few minutes later, he finally got used to it.
Control was regained, and the massive body began to slowly shrink.
Ten meters, nine meters, eight meters... and finally, he returned to that slender figure of less than 1.9 meters.
Jemin stood up, stretched his limbs to make sure everything was normal, and then turned off the smelting furnace.
The furnace door opened, and he stepped out.
Outside was a huge magic circle, connected to various detection instruments.
Jemin walked to the center of the magic circle and stood still, probing with his mental energy to begin checking his physical condition.
On the light screen, lines of data jumped rapidly.
[Physical Strength Assessment: Peak Level 6]
High-temperature resistance: increased by 7%
[Low-temperature resistance: increased by 5%]
Lightning resistance: Increased by 6%
[Acid resistance: Increased by 4%]
Gravity Resistance: Increased by 3%
Physical impact resistance: Increased by 8%
Overall resistance: 5.2% higher than yesterday.
Jemin looked at the data and nodded in satisfaction.
His physical strength can be enhanced using a special magic array called "Time Remnant," which allows him to improve his physical strength extremely quickly.
But resistance must be "nurtured" with real damage.
Each type of damage requires individual adaptation, and each type of resistance requires specialized training.
It's very troublesome; there are absolutely no shortcuts.
However, the effect after completion was quite good. Now, even without any protection, Jemin could withstand attacks from an ordinary level five wizard without getting hurt. Jemin turned off the light screen and turned to walk towards the bathtub next to him.
It was a circular pool about ten meters in diameter, filled with a dark green medicinal liquid.
Jemin stepped into the pool, his entire body sinking into the medicinal liquid, with only his head sticking out.
A warm sensation enveloped my entire body, and the fatigue and damage accumulated in the smelting furnace were being repaired little by little by the medicinal liquid.
"call……"
He sighed comfortably, closed his eyes, and enjoyed this rare moment of relaxation.
Before long, soft footsteps could be heard by the pool.
Jemin opened his eyes and saw a black giant priest standing respectfully by the pool, holding a crystal plate in his hands.
"Sir, the experimental data is in."
Jemin took the crystal plate and glanced at its contents.
This is a series of test reports on the power of the moon.
Since he conducted preliminary tests using the power of the moonlight last time, the black giant priests have begun large-scale systematic experiments.
Over the past few months, they have made various attempts with the lunar energy collected by the magic array: using it on black giants, on ordinary plants and animals, and even on some special plants transplanted from other planes.
Jemin read on, line by line.
[Test 1: The Influence of Lunar Power on the Black Giant's Soul]
Sample size: 12757 (Level 3 to 5)
【How to use: Infuse one unit of Moon Essence daily for thirty days】
[Results: Soul strength increased by an average of 0.3%; spiritual responsiveness increased by an average of 0.7%; no obvious side effects]
[Conclusion: Effective, but with limited effect. Long-term use is recommended as a regular reinforcement method.]
Jemin nodded.
The results were consistent with his previous test.
The power of the moonlight can only be described as "mediocre" in terms of soul enhancement.
It is effective, but the effect is not obvious and it is not as good as a special magic potion, but its advantage is that it is easy to obtain and has no cost.
Keep reading.
[Test 2: The Effects of Lunar Power on the Growth of Ordinary Plants and Animals]
[Sample: 137 species of native plants and 67 species of common animals from the Purgatory Sulfur Plane]
【How to use: Soak in the moonlight daily for thirty days】
[Results: Plant growth rate increased by an average of 35%; animal development rate increased by an average of 22%; no obvious distortions were observed]
[Conclusion: It has a significant promoting effect on the growth of common organisms. It can be applied to agriculture and animal husbandry.]
This aligns with Jemin's previous reasoning and can be applied to the cultivation of extraordinary plants.
Jemin continued scrolling down.
[Test 3: The Influence of Moonlight Power on the Quality of Plant-Based Materials]
[Sample: 1350 species of low-level plant materials including Fireweed, Sulfur Flower, and Lava Fruit]
[Usage: While the material is still alive, soak it in the power of moonlight for 30 to 60 days.]
[Results: See attached table for details]
Jemin flipped directly to the appendix.
The attached table clearly records the quality changes of each material.
For example, Fireweed, which was originally only used to make first-level potions, was upgraded to the standard of being used to make second-level potions of the same type after being soaked in moonlight for fifty days.
The original success rate of sulfur flowers was only 60%, but after being soaked in moonlight, the success rate increased to over 80%, and the concentration of effective ingredients increased by 40%. The most exaggerated thing is that thing called "Frostlight Grass", which was transplanted by Jemin from the Frost Plane.
Even with a specially designed environmental simulation cultivation chamber, the plant still couldn't grow well in the Purgatory Sulfur Plane.
Jemin had originally planned to give up, but the experimental results showed that after being soaked in the power of the moonlight for two months, it actually began to grow wildly, and its quality was even better than in its place of origin.
As Jemin looked at the data, a slow smile crept onto his lips.
While the power of the moonlight is only average in terms of soul enhancement, it is practically a godsend in improving the quality of plant materials.
Many plant materials that were originally considered low-grade among their kind can be transformed into high-grade materials after being infused with the power of the moonlight. Although the "quality" of the materials themselves does not undergo a qualitative breakthrough, but only reaches the level of superior materials among their kind, this is enough. Of course, the premise is that these plants are still alive.
If the ingredients for a potion have already been prepared or the vegetation has dried up, the power of the moon will have no effect.
Jemin quickly made a mental calculation.
He is now undertaking more and more research projects, and the materials he needs are becoming increasingly expensive.
Those high-level materials, any one of them is worth tens of thousands of low-level military merits, and the amount of high-level materials consumed in each research or experiment is staggering. Even though he is wealthy, he still feels the pinch when he spends them.
However, if he could use the power of the moonlight to "upgrade" low-quality materials into high-quality materials, it would mean that when he buys experimental materials in the future, he would only need to buy the inferior materials of the same type.
How much money can be saved?
Jemin lifted his hand from the medicinal bath, picked up a fruit from the fruit plate next to him, and took a bite.
That's a fruit native to the Purgatory Sulfur Plane. It was originally sour and unpalatable, and only some low-level creatures would eat it.
But this one is an "experiment" that has been soaked in the power of the moonlight for three months.
The fruit pulp has a pleasantly sweet and sour taste with a subtle, refreshing aroma.
Jemin savored the subtle change and nodded in satisfaction.
Just then, another black giant priest strode over and bowed respectfully.
"Sir, the experiment is ready."
Jemin's eyes lit up.
He stood up, the potion on his body twisting and transforming into a close-fitting wizard's robe under the alchemical light.
"Walk."
