Chapter 3 - A great change occurs
Uriel held the spiritual medicine in her hand, the aroma filled the room and sucked them both into a trance like state, something like this is possibly seen only once in their entire lives!
The medicine was a small green seed with irregular pulsating lines spreading around it from top to bottom, it almost seemed as if it was filled with life. The silver haired goddess holding it seemed like she was an angel from heaven, bestowing it upon this puny mortal.
“U-Uriel, where the hell did you acquire this thing from? Don't tell me you lent your body out to some rich Lord..” Moon said with a grin. A loud slap resounded out in the air as Moon toppled over onto the hardwood floor with a bang. “You idiot, Merry gave this to me. You may not know this but Merrys actually a cultivator of the 7th Nursery stage!”.
A face filled with shock and respect covered Moon. Never in a million years would he have thought that the old innocent Merry who looked after Uriel for all these years could possibly have the supreme strength of the 7th Stage of the nursery layer. Just imagining the old lady having the strength to lift a boulder that weighed over 1000 pounds made Moons face crease slightly.
“She told me she acquired this back when she travelled the Reiqi continent from a nest of magical beasts at the 5th layer. After fighting for over 8 hours, killing over 20 Venomous Reaper hounds in the process, she managed to acquire this Spiritual Medicine! You should be honoured to receive this, after all, this was acquired from Merrys blood and sweat!”. Uriels face when she looked at the medicine was filled with respect, she truly looked up to Merry who had the bravery and strength to challenge such beasts and survive.
Moon had a look of confusion as he wondered why she would hand over such a miraculous treasure, surely she would use it herself to boost her own cultivation instead of his weak cultivation! “Uriel, why would you give such a thing to me? Do you even know what rank or type of Spiritual Medicine this is?”.

Spiritual treasures in this world are ranked and there are thousands of different types spread throughout the many continents of the world. The most basic of Spiritual Medicines with basic effects are under the Earthly medicine category, with levels going from 1-10. These medicines give a slight boost to cultivation and have other healing properties, most of these are used by low level noble families. After that there are Heavenly medicines, the difference in price compared to Earthly medicines is astonishing! An average level 4 Heavenly medicine can be sold for up to 25,000 gold! This was enough to feed a family of 5 for 1000 years! This medicine can be used to gain a massive jump to your cultivation, heal your meridians and veins, and even heal the soul!
The last category of medicines are the rarest and most mysterious, only the top figures of the martial world can acquire these! This category is named Divine Medicine, and they truly live up to their name. Legends mention that the Underworld Hysteria Root can widen your profound veins by an inch! This would enable the user to absorb Qi much more rapidly. Another type is the Devil Bane Nether Root, this one opens up some of the Meridians in the body, allowing the user to have a huge boost in power. These medicines can be said to be worth so much that emperors would be willing to trade their daughters over for them.
“I just can't bare to see you being picked on any longer. It's been 12 years and your still at the 1st stage of the Nursery layer! If you take this medicine, who knows what effects it will have. Not even Merry knows what kind of medicine this is, but as long as it helps you even slightly then I can at least rest easier when I sleep.” Uriels face went slightly red as she spoke, her silver hair covered half of her face which showed her green eyes and rosey cheeks. Truly the heavens showered this maiden with blessings when she was born, not only was she truly a fairy princess, she also had the kindness and heart of an angel!

Moon stuttered slightly, he never expected his fairy princess who he'd known for all these years to offer him such a gift! He truly has thoughts of taking this woman as his wife in the future, if only he was worthy.
“Then my fairy princess wife, I'll be taking this spiritual medicine now!”.
Uriel handed him the strange pulsating seed with a sigh, “I'm not your wife you foolish Moon”. He took the seed and placed it over his mouth, “Not yet, but in the future you'll be my fairy princess wife!”. The seed dropped down into his mouth landing on his tongue.
As he swallowed the green seed, a booming green aura enveloped the room. If someone was looking from outside, they would see a bright flashing green light pouring out of the window!
“Princess, truly.. I can feel great changes happening within my bo-!”. All of a sudden Moons veins began to tense up greatly, redness appeared on his face as it looked like he was enduring a sudden rush of pain. The green light rapidly changed colour to red as it covered the room from head to toe, even Uriel backed away slightly as she had no clue what was occurring within Moons body!.
Moons hair rapidly began to grow, almost reaching down to his waist. His bones cracked and contracted, violent tearing sounds resounded in the air as Moons eyes went white as the pain reached new heights.
As the red light blazed the room even more, it suddenly changed to a dark and chaotic black light. It felt like the entire room was swallowed up, and an evil raging beast had come to devour them. Moons eyes changed to a red colour as a filthy black Qi covered his body. His muscles rapidly grew and his height changed from 1.65m to 1.77m! If one could look in detail, they would be able to see that an irregular blue light was surrounding his profound veins, widening them, reaching almost an inch!
The devilish black light finally cleared and Moons body was laid lifelessly on the floor, his red eyes changed back to his usual blue, yet the energy he had in his eyes was now dim.
“M-Moon, what's wrong! What the hell was that medicine? What could possibly allow such changes to occur? And what was that evil Qi surrounding his body..? Could it be a divine medicine?”.
The walls of the room were etched with a black, red and green Qi that lingered there even after a day. Clearly the medicine must have been something that was forbidden by the heavens, if the gods found out about such an overwhelmingly powerful medicine then tribulation lightning would strike down and devour it!
A month later.
Moons body was weak yet his muscles had grown considerably, making his weak body now look like a toned practitioner. The Qi in the air constantly roiled around his body for the past month, even though he was unconscious he was still absorbing Qi at an astonishing rate! Such a thing was unheard of before!
Uriel had no choice but to look after him rigorously for the past month, even bathing him every few days. If Moon realised that the fairy princess Uriel had seen his naked body, even his iron sword, then surely he would awaken the seven immortals from their graves with his screams.
A day later.
All of a sudden, a huge burst of violent Qi was rotating around his body at an incredible rate. A thick white light surrounded his body as his whole being was enveloped in this white radiance, then suddenly a booming sound occurred!
2nd stage of the Nursery layer!
After a whole month in a coma after consuming the strange Spiritual Medicine, Moon had finally awoken and even managed to enter the second stage! His eyes slowly regained the usual energetic blue, and the colour in his face transitioned back to a light crisp brown.
Moon sat up, tensing his arms as he realised his muscles had grown considerably. He then felt more weight on his head, and noticed his hair had grown down to his waist!
“Could this have been that Spiritual medicine Uriel gave to me..?”
