After Surgery-

Leroy was in his courtyard with his people. The two twins were really happy to have such a job as his maids and womanly protectors of Shaoiri. Besides tending to Leroy with simple matters the only other thing they had to do was cultivate and study. Saori was happy for the company of the older women who didn't mind teaching her things ran in Sects and a different Continent.
"I cannot believe they used such a pill to help her. But it was more our gain than theirs." Danik was all smiles as he sipped tea across from Leroy. "To distill it with Purified Water and pour it over her entire body was really a good call. I must think you for the Purified Water as well, I promise to use it well."
"Containing was good on your part. I didn't imagine such a pill would work that way. You refined her organs in a very abrupt manner that I thought they would tear." Leroy gave the man a tea salute. "Thanks for showing a better way to deal with organs and a much stronger pill. Those poor Life and Water Cultivators were so exhausted that I wonder if they will ever work again with us."
"Hehe, the pleasure is mine. More exposure to the ways of Alcehmy will help you, my friend." Taking another sip, he thought about how drained they looked. "They'll be fine, pampered bastards. Whoever is fronting the tab has it bad. Not our fault they couldn't keep up."
"Too much to study now, I will however look into how Pills and Elixers work more because of my Brewing work needs it." Taking another sip, he was glad for the reserves of Qi he has. Only having to use very little of the Flame Vortex Qi. 'It was good we handed the Corpse Organ to the Dark Rose Family in front of everyone, that way if anything happens it is not on us.'
A little trouble came from how he was able to deal with the Undead Qi but Leroy was able to use the Test he took previously and the information about coming across it dealing with the Rebels during that time as well. Tang Ansui also spoke up for him because of the Alchemist Oda who had been poisoning pills.
"Ehem!"
Dispersing the silent formation that protected their conversation, Leroy allowed the visitors to enter. The hood of one of them had the situation immediately turning tense. The girl was just stupid in having gotten up already.
"You should be resting and not up yet." Leroy was very stern and barely held in from yelling. "Your body has gone through more than anyone should yet you put it in danger by walking!"
"I am fine. My Elder said it is best that I walk around to help my soul recover. With the debt I owe them I could not decline." Somewhat bitterly she offered a salute to Leroy. "Doctors Leroy and Danik, I think you from the bottom of my heart for saving me!"
Looking at each other, the two gave a simple nod before accepting it.
"With all the medicine used on me, I will be able to grow really well in the future they say. The Dark Rose Family is very grateful, as one of the heirs it was given to me to pay you additionally." Passing over two Storage Rings with a Rose emblem in the center, she then stood up. "I will not waste any more of your time and return. See you later senior brother."
A bag of Reconstruction Pills, a Longevity pill, 500,000 gold pieces, a bunch of Qi Refining Weapons, and a few Medical Books. By the looks of Danik's facial expression, he got something good.
But the bags were the same which had Leroy perturbed. As Danik was much older and could benefit from the Longevity Pill, Leroy traded this to him for the Gold pieces and Qi Refining Weapons.
"Thank you greatly, this is exactly what I need." Not short on gold and not wanting to treat Leroy wrongly he gave him the Reconstruction Pills as well. Not like it would be worth anything to him. "I should use these at once, excuse me my friend!"
*Shine!* Turning into a beam of light, he shot off to go cultivate. Just in case the other changes his mind with how precious Longevity Pills were.
Out of the 20 Reconstruction Pills, he tucked half for later study and tossed the other 10 into the Flame Vortex Core. The best 10 weapons were kept and the other 190 were tossed into the Flame Vortex Core. The Gold was added to the stash for Terrioty purchasing and other items needed.
'Time to test the Theory further!' Sealing his courtyard and activating the Formations, Leroy started to cultivate with all his attention on figuring out a function of the Flame Vortex Core. 'Can I derive how these items were forged and refined with full focus on it!?'
The Flame Vortex Core churned and refined everything as it always did. However blue-white flame spread out into his being of understanding and not actual Qi production. The Theory was correct so far but it was really little pieces.
What was learned from the Reconstruction Pills, what was gleamed was the same as the process of Refining himself in the Flame Vortex itself. It tempered the Body completely and his very Soul. Which influenced his mind as if he went through the process itself.

Every time he did this, however, Qi was burned away permanently as it was used in a sense to "bond" his molecules themselves together. Even if his arm or leg were gone for a long time he could replace them if he remembered what his limbs looked like and how they worked.
However, if he lacked the Qi to bring himself back and went through the process, his "Soul" itself would take it as the limb was not needed overall. His Mind would reflect that it was not needed and actually caused the limb to fall off or become a disadvantage to further growth.
'What the hell... this Reconstruction Pill and the Flame Vortex should not be mixed at all. I can't unlearn this!' Try as he might in thinking that was the wrong way to think, he could not change it. For the "Great Way" of cultivation itself pressed this was the case. 'No, there has to be a way around this!'
Science and reason fought against cultivation settings.
Circulating his cultivation to dig through his memories he found the answer. Going over the process of reattaching limbs and the transplant process for them, the incorrect thoughts as he saw it were undone. Being shown how it worked for regular people compared to cultivators was exactly what he needed.
'The Lung Meridian (LU), Large Intestine Meridian (LI), Stomach Meridian (ST), Heart Meridian (HT), Kidney Meridian (KI), Bladder Meridian (BL), Triple Burner Meridian (TB), Liver Meridian (LV), Spleen Meridian (SP), Small Intestine Meridian (SI), Pericardium Meridian (PC), Gall Bladder Meridian (GB), Governing Vessel (GV), and the Conception Vessel (CV).' 10 common Meridians with the last two as the extra body Meridians.'
*Ripple!* Leroy was unifying his understanding of Medical Science and Medical Cultivation, a sensation passed through him that also affected the area in various ways.
"Hmmm?!" The Vice-principal who was cultivating in his home felt the stirring in the air. 'The Great Way of Cultivation seems restless, I cannot miss this chance!' Giving his full focus he went to work immediately.
He was not the only one as several who were cultivating felt the stir and went to work. With a few who detected the strangeness itself doing the same but not understanding why.
Bai Xing stopped his exercise and started to cultivate. Not too far away from him the disciple of the Unlimited Sect Gia also did the same. Both of their Masters and Teachers quit their talks and did the same.
Leroy didn't know what was going on everywhere but he felt a tug on the Connection he had with the others. What they were cultivating appeared in his mind and clashed with what he knew. With his method being the correct way, they were slowly influenced and corrections were made.
To them, this was the gain of "Insights" but to Teachers and Instructors, this is a form of Impartation from someone who understands it better. Leroy got something out of it, in the back of his mind per se', small sections of the Cultivation technique was improved for him.
Tang Ansui who recently read the notes on the sword from Leroy was still cultivating and felt the change but his viewpoint was strong and because of this he only improve while incorporating it. His overall gains flooded into the Great Way of Cultivation increasing it for future Cultivators and those who are born.
If he was to have a child now, that child would gain a lot in the way of the sword. Even affecting all the way down to the Dantian itself.
Cultivators took several methods from the Great Way but what the majority didn't know is that the Great Way took something from them to grow stronger and to overall improve. Whether it was for the good or bad of the Dimension itself, the Great Way did not care.
This also affected the Era of the Great Way, better known as an Era Cataclysm. Which before Leroy had ended some 10,000 years ago. This current era was in the early stages with all the true powerhouses sleeping away or still recovering.
'The old man from the Dark Nether Drake Family... I wonder how old he really is? In fact, how old is the Creature that used Ghast from before? And is the Monument from the previous Era?' The questions popped out as fast as they came.
Minutes turned into hours and hours into days before it ended. With Leroy coming to, it ended everywhere in the vicinity.
As time passed, Leroy broke through in the Icebeast Martial Arts to the Body Tempering 7th Rank. His understanding of techniques broaden and he could interpret a lot more than before but as things go he found corrections to be made as well as improvements before pushing it higher.
'The Flamelighting Martial Arts broke into the 9th Rank and is solidly there. The Qi is abundant and purer than before. The same can be said from my Blood Qi in the Icebeast Martial Arts. The Flame Vortex did not go higher but I understand it a little bit more but I can't try Reconstructiong anyone just yet.' As the aura that appeared faded away, Leroy looked around to see a few Formations more had been put up. 'Those two... they are trustworthy according to the Connection that formed already. But I can't make mistakes. Need to wait before showing them anything wild.'
They also did need names and hopefully, the situation had gone favorably between the three of them.
The need and desire to stack up a lot of resources to break into the Foundation Establishment Realm for the Perfect Recall that those at that Realm had was really needed.
This could help cut off the Qi lost when burning it permanently to remember stuff buried deep down. Leroy had to check on his Internal Space to make sure nothing weird happened there.
The "Atmosphere" of the Internal Space had increased but didn't grow bigger. The need for it had grown higher the same as everything else but Leroy's confidence in dealing with those in the Foundation Establishment Realm was good thanks to the memories and general output of those in that Realm.
Nascent Soul Realm survivability was the issue to worry about. That and how fast they could fly away. Those in the Soul Severing Realm were a threat but could at least be disabled long enough to get away and hide.
For that reason alone he started to develop a few deadly poisons and nerve toxins to deal with them. Recovering textbook knowledge from school back on earth he was able to recreate quite a few devices that were modern and able to use here to help with cultivation.
The workout equipment, electric generator, and plumbing were the biggest. Of course, they were built but not put into action inside this place. These were for later when he set up his own home.
The other knowledge he recovered was from first-year Medical books and a lot of his Chemistry. The Occupations like Doctor, Smith, Tailor, Herbologist, Brewer, and that of a Teacher increased. Of course, he had no intention of sharing that just yet. Still needed to translate into terms that matched this Dimension to keep suspicion out of the way.
