To assess the level of a cultivator's cultivation, there are several methods.
One is to use Divine Sense to internally observe the cultivator and check the level and number of Martial Souls within them.
Another method is to judge a cultivator's strength by the aura of their Martial Souls.
The stronger the aura emitted by a cultivator's Martial Soul, the higher their cultivation level is.
The final method is for the cultivator to release all their Martial Souls for others to observe with the naked eye.
If the other party intends to deceive, they may intentionally hold back some Martial Souls or deliberately suppress their cultivation level, making it difficult to accurately assess.
"I'll quickly adapt to this place first!"
In any world, the simplest way to judge a cultivator's cultivation level is by the number of Martial Souls they possess.
In this world, male cultivators use the Flying Dragon as a reference for their Martial Souls, while female cultivators use the Heavenly Phoenix.
If a male cultivator releases three hundred Flying Dragon Martial Souls, it can be determined that the martial artist's cultivation is at the Innate Third Level.
If a female cultivator releases seven thousand Flying Dragon Martial Souls, her cultivation can be determined to be at Martial Master Seventh Layer.
When one hundred thousand Flying Dragon Martial Souls fuse together, they become a new Martial Soul, a level known as Transformation.
The Flying Dragon Martial Soul will transform into the Star Dragon Martial Soul, signifying that this cultivator's Martial Soul can now fly in the stars.
No matter how powerful the Flying Dragon Martial Soul is, it cannot help a cultivator travel the stars, but if a cultivator possesses the Star Dragon Martial Soul, they can roam the cosmos from then on.
Today, Duan Gujin handed a new list of Spiritual Medicines to his mother, Mu Feiyan.
"Great! I'll send someone to buy them immediately!"
Mu Feiyan urgently sent a doctor to collect the medicines and repeatedly instructed Duan Gujin to take good care of his body and rest well.
"Okay!"
Faced with such a caring mother, Duan Gujin felt a change in his emotions.
"I thought the word 'family' had been erased from my memory! I didn't expect to have it again in this life!"
He exhaled a breath of turbid air and sighed.
At noon, Duan Gujin received all the Spiritual Medicines needed for his Bone Tempering and Muscle Refining cultivation.
He carefully checked the Spiritual Medicines and only slightly relaxed his heart after ensuring all were correct.
"Alright! From this moment on, my new life officially begins!"
Duan Gujin went to the practice room in the courtyard next door, which the Duan Family had specially prepared for him.
However, previously he had spent most of his time flirting with respectable women, leaving no time to train in this practice room, which had led to his current extreme physical weakness.
Duan Gujin took one look at the practice room and was overjoyed.
"Perfect, this place is indeed very suitable for my Bone Tempering and Muscle Refining cultivation! I need to see if some of my previous basic cultivation methods are still usable."
Duan Gu extended both hands, continuously gesturing.
After great effort and approximately 15 minutes, a mysterious rune appeared in his palm.
Wiping the sweat beads the size of soybeans on his forehead, he looked frustrated.
"Unexpectedly, simply using the most basic Undying Heart Bone is now so difficult for me!"
In his palm shone a golden text, the Undying Heart Bone he cultivated when he was a Master.
That mysterious rune in the palm was the character for "heart," emitting a golden light, which if he wished to be inconspicuous, could be retracted into his body.
His next task was to reintegrate the knowledge he had learned before into the knowledge of this world; the Undying Heart Bone was one of his favorite ultimate skills to cultivate in the past.
That's why he immediately began to practice the Undying Heart Bone in the training room as soon as he could.
"As long as the Undying Heart Bone remains, all other treasures can be discarded!"
Duan Gujin exhaled a turbid breath, then practiced the same basic martial skill dozens of times in the training room, as a warm-up exercise.
After half an hour, he finished his warm-up and started to put all the Spiritual Medicine he collected today into a large cauldron.
When he was practicing, he had already asked his servants to start a fire and boil water.
Once the water was ready, he sent the servants out, closed the doors and windows, and prepared to start the Bone Tempering and Muscle Refining.
By now, the cauldron of hot water was producing scalding steam.
Duan Gujin exhaled a turbid breath again and then entered the cauldron of hot water.
"Sizzle!"
In the past, a cauldron of hot water would have been nothing to Duan Gujin, but now it made him feel like he was being sliced by a thousand knives, causing intense pain throughout his body.
"How exhilarating!"
Duan Gujin let out a roar and then placed the 'heart' character in the center of his palm over his chest, proceeding with his cultivation.
Gurgling noises!
Under the stimulation of the Spiritual Medicine and the scalding hot water, every skin cell on Duan Gujin's body was producing blisters.
"My body is indeed delicate and tender now!"
He sighed and continued with his cultivation.
Soaking in the cauldron, the medicinal properties of the Spiritual Medicine were gradually absorbed into his body, nourishing his scalded flesh.
However, his body was scalded too quickly, and the rate at which the Spiritual Medicine could replenish his body was too slow.
After fifteen minutes, his entire body was covered with dense blisters.
If Master Mu Feiyan, the head of the household's mother, saw this, she would definitely faint.
"Very good, very exhilarating!"
Duan Gujin remained indifferent; he had experienced even more brutal forms of cultivation in the past, and now it was just mere hot water.
After he absorbed all the medicinal properties of the Spiritual Medicine in the hot water, he exhaled a turbid breath and circulated the Primordial Power in the palm of his hand.
A bright light instantly shone from his palm, followed by his entire arm and body emitting a golden glow.
Although the golden glow was brief, it was enough to cause all the blisters on Duan Gujin's body to burst open.
Pop, pop, pop!
Moments later, his body emitted an unpleasant smell.
Duan Gujin immediately changed to a basin of clean water to rinse his entire body.
After he finished washing, he closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and began to recuperate; the skin that had blistered from the scalding was slowly healing.
Time passed little by little, and after two more hours, he finally opened his eyes.
"Let's go back!"
Duan Gujin then braved the pain on his body and returned to his quarters. That night, large flakes of dead skin peeled off his body.
The next day, he cleaned up all the shed skin from his bed by himself.
"A new day begins! Haste makes waste! I can't think that I could just grow a Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul overnight!"
Duan Gujin immediately regained his composure and calmly faced his current situation.
