The legendary warrior novel Chapter 10

Following Grace, Ricky came to a small courtyard.

"This is where I usually live." Grace said to Ricky, "No matter you are a nominal disciple or a formal disciple, you are my disciple. And as long as I accepted you as my disciple, I will try my best to teach you everything I know."

Pausing for a moment, Grace continued, "So from now on, you can live in this small courtyard. Use this as your own."

"Thank you, Master Grace!" Ricky happily answered. Because of his master's generosity, Ricky, without a doubt, would gladly accept whatever Grace would ask of him.

"Here are two bottles of Body Refining Pills. You could take them first. As for the cultivation methods, I'll pick out the one that best suits you in the next two days," said Grace. After that, Grace gave Ricky the bottles of Body Refining Pills and reminded him, "Systematical training needs blood vitality. You can just go to Snow Kitchen Hall to buy it."

After giving him instructions on everything, Grace prepared to go out. Ricky realized that Grace still had some things to do

"Master..." Ricky embarrassingly called out Grace in an attempt to stop her from leaving.

"Do you have any other questions?" Grace faced him and asked. Although her tone was light and her intention was good, the way Grace asked came out coldly and serious. Maybe it was because of the birthmark that marred her beautiful face so that she never smiled while talking, not even once.

"I...I just want to ask how much blood meat I could buy with three copper coins." Taking out the remaining three copper coins from his pocket, Ricky asked in an embarrassed voice.

Upon hearing Ricky's innocent question, Grace immediately understood what her student actually meant.

Her eyes could not help but show a bit of helplessness and pity towards her apprentice. Then she took out a small bag from her Storage Ring and said, "Here, there are fifty silver coins in this. Take it!"

"Thank you very much, Master." Ricky gratefully received the coins from his master.

"You do not need to thank me, Ricky. I lent the fifty silver coins to you. You have to return them for me. And you need also return me the two bottles of Body Refining Pills. They are valued at fifty silver coins. You should pay me back one hundred silver coins in total after a month!"

Grace said with obvious amusement in her eyes and then she left. Ricky was left there standing stunned in disbelief.

...

Inside the small courtyard, Ricky sat cross-legged in the wooden bed. He muttered to himself, "Systematical training is hard. And then if there is no money, there are no resources. No resources, no chance of breaking through the next grade. So, I need to find a way to earn money. Hunting and killing fierce animals is the only thing I'm good at. Maybe that's the only way I can earn money now!

But first, I need to break through the third grade of Skin Refinement to reach the fourth. After all, the Snow Mountain is not like the Stone City. It could only be more dangerous.

With these two bottles of Body Refining Pills that Master Grace gave, I have thirty Body Refining pills in total now. This should be enough for me to break through to the sixth grade of Skin Refinement."

Then Ricky tried to concentrate his energies and prepared for a breakthrough.

Now, there was plenty of blood vitality on his body. It was enough for him to break through the third grade. So he intended to go out to buy blood meat in the Snow Kitchen Hall after reaching the fourth grade of Skin Refinement.

Taking out one Body Refining Pill from the bottle, Ricky swallowed it.

Although he had taken Body Refining Pills for his past breakthrough, Ricky knew that it would surely make his foundation more solid if he would take the pills now. It was necessary for his systematic training in the future if he had a more solid foundation.

After swallowing the Body Refining Pill, Ricky then immediately activated the spiritual energy in his body. He tried to digest the Body Refining Pill quickly and made the pill integrate into the mystic meridians residing in his body. Through the spiritual meridian, the pill would incorporate into his whole body, purifying his flesh and bone, until he was pure and there was no impurities discharged.

After the absorption of the Body Refining Pill, Ricky's body gradually emitted black, gooey substances.

One, two, three... Soon, Ricky swallowed ten Body Refining Pills. But the impurities on his body still continued to ooze out.

"This... What's going on? Why is this happening? Are ten Body Refining pills still not enough?"

Ricky could not believe what had happened. He clearly knew that most people just needed five Body Refining Pills or so to break through the third grade of Skin Refinement. Some genius might need seven or eight pills.

But now even after taking ten pills, it was not enough for him. Moreover, he had already gone through the breakthrough once before his original spiritual meridian was destroyed and had eliminated the impurities. Surely, the pills he needed should be less than what he took.
