“Mother, I need these medicinal herbs.”

William Grant handed the paper in his hand to Grace Thompson.

“Tian’er, these are all herbs to strengthen the body. I’ve had the Grand Elder mix some for you before, but they didn’t have any effect.”

Grace Thompson glanced at the prescription. Although she didn’t know alchemy, she still recognized these herbs.

The Grand Elder of the The Thompson Family, ‘Jack Thompson’, was a ninth-grade alchemist and the only alchemist in the The Thompson Family, holding a very high status.

“Mother, I still want to give it a try.”

The young man’s face was full of stubbornness and determination.

“All right, Mother will go buy them for you.”

Grace Thompson dotingly nodded.

In her eyes, as long as her son was happy, it didn’t matter if these herbs were wasted—they were just worldly possessions.

“Tian’er, do you need Mother to ask the Grand Elder to mix them for you?”

Half an hour later, Grace Thompson returned, bringing back the herbs William Grant needed.

“Mother, no need, just give them to me directly.”

After taking the herbs, the young man returned to his room.

“Could it be that Tian’er wants to mix those herbs himself? Never mind, as long as he’s happy. Those herbs aren’t poisonous anyway, let him play as he likes.”

A thought flashed through Grace Thompson’s mind.

The herbs William Grant asked Grace Thompson to buy totaled seven kinds, all fairly common, and he planned to use them to prepare the ‘Seven Treasures Body-Tempering Solution.’

This medicinal solution could strengthen the body and increase the cultivation speed of Body Tempering Realm martial artists.

The prescription for the ‘Seven Treasures Body-Tempering Solution’ had long since disappeared from the Cloudsky Continent. It was found by the Reincarnation Martial Emperor in his second life in an ancient ruin.

Originally, he intended to use it in his third life, but now it was being used for William Grant.

Mixing medicinal solutions was different from refining pills.

To refine pills, only alchemists who had condensed pill fire and reached a certain grade could do it.

To mix medicinal solutions, as long as you had the prescription and knew the proportions and order of the herbs, anyone could do it.

The first time he mixed the Seven Treasures Body-Tempering Solution, William Grant clumsily spent an hour, finally finishing it according to the Reincarnation Martial Emperor’s memories.

Afterwards, he had his mother’s maid prepare a bath barrel and warm water.

William Grant poured the Seven Treasures Body-Tempering Solution in and mixed it well, then took off his clothes and jumped in.

Sitting cross-legged in the bath barrel, William Grant could clearly feel a tingling sensation all over his body.

He knew this was the medicinal solution of the Seven Treasures Body-Tempering Solution merging into his body, changing his physique.

Closing his eyes, William Grant began cultivating the “Nine Dragons Battle Sovereign Art”...

The “Nine Dragons Battle Sovereign Art” was further divided into the ‘Nine Transformations of the Battle Sovereign.’

When cultivated to the extreme, one could control the power of nine dragons, achieve Martial Emperor status, and possess unrivaled might!

Currently, William Grant was cultivating the first transformation, the ‘Spirit Serpent Transformation.’

With his greedy absorption, the medicinal solution in the bath was quickly used up.

At this point, the cultivation of the Spirit Serpent Transformation was also on track.

For martial artists, the entry stage mainly involved body tempering, strengthening qi and blood, and transforming the flesh...

Three days later, after absorbing the third barrel of medicinal solution, William Grant finally stepped into the first level of the Body Tempering Realm!

“Splash~~”

Stepping out of the bath barrel and coming to the full-length mirror, looking at the strong physique in the mirror, so different from three days ago, William Grant smiled.

Then, he began to stretch his body and found his flexibility was astonishing.

Many incredible movements could now be easily accomplished; his body was as agile as a spirit serpent.

This was the characteristic of the Spirit Serpent Transformation, making the body as flexible as a serpent...

“This ‘Nine Dragons Battle Sovereign Art’ truly deserves to be the creation of the Reincarnation Martial Emperor over two lifetimes. It’s probably no less than the ‘Three Lives Reincarnation Art.’ Ordinary first-level Body Tempering martial artists only increase their strength by about twenty jin, but I’ve increased by more than thirty jin, my strength almost catching up to a second-level Body Tempering martial artist.”

“If I were to face Andrew Thompson of the second level of Body Tempering now, even if my strength is slightly less than his, with the Xingyi Fist and single combat skills I cultivated in my previous life, I could easily defeat him!”

William Grant narrowed his eyes.

“Unfortunately, the martial technique ‘Spirit Serpent Movement’ in the Spirit Serpent Transformation can only be performed after reaching the seventh level of Body Tempering. Otherwise, with the agility of the Spirit Serpent Movement combined with Xingyi Fist, even if I faced a third-level Body Tempering martial artist, I might still have a chance to win!”

Chapter 4: Collapse Fist Like a Mountain

Three days later.

“Tian’er, you...”

Looking at William Grant, Grace Thompson was full of disbelief.

After a moment, she finally reached out her slender jade hands, gently kneading William Grant’s arms...

As a Core Formation Realm martial artist, she could see William Grant’s current cultivation at a glance.

First level of Body Tempering!

Her son had finally completed body tempering and become a martial artist.

These past few years, seeing William Grant unable to complete body tempering and his body growing weaker...

She saw it all and worried deeply.

“Mother, why are you crying?”

William Grant reached out to wipe away Grace Thompson’s tears.

“Mother’s fine, Mother’s just happy, very happy.”

Grace Thompson wiped the tears from her face and smiled.

The worry she’d carried for years was finally gone.

Very soon, she realized—

Her son’s transformation had happened within these three days.

Such a change in just three days.

She couldn’t help but be shocked!
