The Primordial Tamer

Orion lay in his bed, feeling exhausted but satisfied after a hard day of training. He had pushed himself to his limits, and he knew that he was making progress on his path of cultivation. As he lay there, catching his breath, his thoughts turned to his friend and fellow cultivator, Atlas.

"System, what happened to Atlas? Does he already finish absorbing that beast core?" Orion asked, his voice tired but curious.

[Not yet, host. It seems that the beast core is so powerful that it needs a long time to absorb.]

Orion's frown deepened at this response. Atlas was his beast, and he cared for him deeply. He had entrusted Atlas with the powerful beast core, hoping that it would help his companion grow stronger and more powerful.

It had been a year since Atlas had started absorbing the core, and Orion was becoming increasingly concerned. He knew that the beast core was incredibly potent and that it could take a long time to fully absorb its power.

But with the death match fast approaching, Orion couldn't help but worry about whether Atlas would be ready in time. "I hope that Atlas can finish his absorption in time for the death match," Orion said, voicing his concerns to the system.

[There is no need to worry, host. Atlas is a powerful beast, and he has been absorbing the core steadily. While it may take some time, I am confident that he will be ready when the time comes.]

Orion nodded, comforted by the system's words. He trusted the system implicitly - it was his constant companion on his journey of cultivation, always there to offer guidance and advice. If the system believed that Atlas would be ready in time, then he had no reason to doubt its wisdom.

But Orion's mind was still preoccupied with his own cultivation progress. He knew that the next stage he needed to reach was Second-Stage Lord Realm.

He turned his thoughts back to the system and asked, "To reach the Second-Stage Lord Realm cultivation, I need to transform my blood. How do I do it exactly?"

[Blood Transformation is the second stage of Qi refining, host. In this transformation, the cultivator further refines the blood that has been infused with the liquid Qi, increasing its purity and potency. This leads to a strengthening of the body and an increase in the cultivator's overall power.]

Orion listened intently, his mind focused on the system's words. He knew that every step on the path of cultivation was crucial, and he was determined to do whatever it took to reach the next level.

"Can you tell me more about how to perform the Blood Transformation?" he asked.

[Host's Primordial Qi is special, and you only need to focus on the liquid Qi that is already in the blood and begin to assemble it in the blood. This process is called the Blood Refinement method, which involves using the Primordial Qi to further refine the blood and improve its purity and potency.]

Orion nodded, understanding the system's explanation. He knew that his Primordial Qi was unique, and he had already successfully completed the first stage of Qi refining. He was eager to move on to the second stage and unlock the full potential of his cultivation.

"Can you guide me through the Blood Refinement method?" he asked.

[Of course, host. The first step is to focus your mind and concentrate your Qi in your blood vessels. You must then use your Primordial Qi to further refine the blood and increase its purity. This will allow you to unlock more of your body's potential and increase your overall power.]

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, feeling the liquid Qi flow through his body. He concentrated on his blood vessels, feeling the Qi start to gather there. He then started to visualize the Qi gathering in his blood, focusing on refining it and improving its quality.

As he continued to focus, he suddenly felt a sharp, searing pain throughout his body. It was like a fire burning through his veins, tearing him apart from the inside out. He gritted his teeth and groaned, feeling as though his body was being torn apart.

"Aaarrgghh. It's very painful," he shouted, the pain almost unbearable.

Orion had experienced pain before, but this was on a completely different level. It was unlike anything he had ever felt before. It was so intense that he felt like he was going to pass out. But he knew that he couldn't give up. He knew that he had to push through the pain if he wanted to succeed in his cultivation.

He focused all of his willpower on the Blood Refinement method, visualizing the Qi moving through his blood vessels and purifying his blood. He knew that he had to endure the pain if he wanted to achieve the next level of cultivation.

The pain continued to intensify, and Orion could feel his body starting to shake. He was covered in sweat, and his muscles were twitching involuntarily. But he refused to give up. He gritted his teeth and continued to focus on the Blood Refinement method.

It was a test of his willpower and determination. The pain was so intense that he could barely think straight, but he forced himself to stay focused. He knew that he had come too far to give up now.

The pain was unlike anything he had ever experienced. It was like a fire burning through his body, tearing him apart from the inside out. But he knew that he had to keep going. He had come too far to give up now.

He could feel the liquid Qi in his blood vessels becoming denser and more powerful. The pain was starting to subside, and he could feel his body becoming stronger. He continued to focus all of his willpower on the Blood Refinement method, determined to succeed.

As he concentrated, he could feel the Qi moving through his body with greater ease. He was able to control it more effectively, and he could feel it improving the quality of his blood. He knew that he was making progress, but he also knew that he had a long way to go before he could master the technique.

Orion had always been a determined person, and this experience was no different. He was determined to master the Blood Refinement method, no matter how difficult it was. He knew that the pain was a necessary part of the process, and he was willing to endure it if it meant that he could become stronger.

As he continued to practice, he began to see improvements in his strength and endurance. He was able to push himself harder than he ever had before, and he could feel his body becoming more resilient.
