"A-Are you sure there are no side-effects to eating monster cores, Young Master?" Feng Yuxiang asked him a moment later, as she was still not convinced that one could consume monster cores like that.
"Look, I'll even eat another one to prove to you that nothing happens," Yuan said to her as he popped another monster core into his mouth and swallowed it.

Feng Yuxiang experienced another minor heart attack after seeing Yuan eat another monster core.
"Brother Yuan has been doing this way before he met you and nothing bad has happened to him yet so we can assume that it's safe," Xiao Hua said a moment later.
After a moment of silence, Feng Yuxiang spoke in a dazed voice, "Young Master, if you don't mind, can you tell me what kind of physique you have that allows you to consume monster cores like that? I have never heard of such a heaven-defying physique even in the upper heavens."
Yuan nodded and said, "Heaven Refining Physique."
"Heaven Refining Physique?" Feng Yuxiang raised her slender eyebrows in a manner as she has never heard of such a thing before.
Then she closed her eyes to ponder.

After many moments of silence, she suddenly snapped her eyes open and shouted in a voice of realization, "That's right! I have heard of this physique before!"
"Eh? Really?" Both Yuan and Xiao Hua looked at her with anticipation in their gazes.
Feng Yuxiang nodded and said, "If I remember correctly, I heard about the Heaven Refining Physique once before over 50,000 years ago when I was still roaming the upper heavens. It's a legendary physique that has existed only once before, and the individual who had that physique was said to be an incredible cultivator who dominated the heavens. Unfortunately, that's all I know."
"I see… So someone else had this physique before…" Yuan mumbled.
"Well, that's only natural," said Feng Yuxiang, and she continued, "In this world, there can be multiple people with the same physique. Of course, the rarer and stronger the physique, the fewer people will have them. However, there are some really special physiques in this world that can exist only in one person at a time as mandated by the heavens, as they are simply too powerful to exist in multiple people. In other words, unless that person dies, nobody else can be born with the physique."
"In your case, Young Master, the person who used to have the same physique was a legend from countless years ago in the ancient times, so we can assume that he's long passed away, as only real immortals at the peak of cultivation can exist for that long, or else he wouldn't be a mere legend."
And she continued, "Does your physique do anything else besides allow you to consume monster cores?"
Yuan shook his head and said, "Not that I know of. Can physiques have multiple powers?"
Feng Yuxiang nodded and said, "Of course. The more powerful the physique the more likely it'll have a second, even a third effect."

"What about the rank? Do you know the rank of your physique, Young Master?"
Yuan nodded and said, "Celestial."
"Celestial? What rank is that?" Feng Yuxiang raised her eyebrows in a truly puzzled manner, as this is her first time hearing of such a rank.
"Above the Divine-rank is the Ancient-rank, and above Ancient-rank is Mythic-rank, so I can only assume that the Celestial-rank is above the Mythic-rank, which is quite hard to believe if I am being honest..." Feng Yuxiang mumbled in a low voice.
"After all, you won't see anyone above the Divine-rank in the Lower Heavens, much less the Celestial-rank that is likely above the Ancient and Mythic-rank. It just doesn't sound plausible unless the Young Master was born in the upper heavens."
"That's not possible," Yuan shook his head. Forget about the upper heavens, he wasn't even born in the Lower Heavens.
The only logical reason for this is that Players such as himself don't abide by the laws of this world, hence why they're able to cultivate much quicker and defy the laws in this world. After all, if one thinks about it, Players are Otherworlders who came from another world— Earth. It shouldn't be too far-fetched to think that they would have an advantage over the people of this world since they're Players comparing themselves to NPCs.
"Anyway, I am going to consume the rest of these monster cores. Hopefully, they'll help me reach Spirit Master."
Yuan proceeded to toss the rest of the monster cores into his mouth, and Feng Yuxiang could only watch this unfathomable scene with a dazed look on her face.

"E-Even the eighth level Spirit Warrior monster core was swallowed without any problems… Just how powerful of a heaven-defying physique is this Heaven Refining Physique?" Feng Yuxiang mumbled in a low voice, feeling a chill in her spine after watching Yuan's shocking performance.
'Hmmm… I'd only managed to absorb a little over 9 billion Qi from all of the monster cores. I still need three more billion Qi Experiences before I can breakthrough to Spirit Master…' Yuan thought to himself afterward. Where else can he obtain these 3 billion Qi Experiences? Cultivating normally would take too long, and the Treasury Hall already gave him all of their monster cores.
"Hopefully, the Dragon Peak will be able to help me obtain the last three billion Qi and allow me to breakthrough to Spirit Master…" Yuan mumbled as he gazed outside the window.
Sometime later, once they calmed down, Xiao Hua and Feng Yuxiang returned inside Yuan's body. And since there was nothing else to do until the Inner Court disciple examination next week, Yuan decided to log off for the day to cultivate in the real world.
