Chapter 47: 47 | First Level Of Eternal Buddha Endurance Scripture
Mira opened her mouth and she continued. "From what we could discern over the past few days, you’re obviously not from a normal background. If you were lucky enough to come across a 7th tier technique, you could have given any of the Seven main families in the city in exchange for resources and power. But you gave them to us to use instead. Which means you weren’t lucky to come across the technique but was given to you instead by."
Mira’s eyes glinted as she deduced him."It’s obvious you have a mysterious person or even a company backing you. One that is even greater than the seven families combined. We are just confused as to why you still decide to stay with us, playing the perfect husband for his three Crippled Wives."
Mira’s tone changed as she continued dryly
"And don’t tell me you fell in love with one of us."
"You see me naked everyday but never aroused."
The girls blushed slightly when they heard Mira say this so indifferently.
But Mira continued.
"So I know it’s not love nor is it lust that’s making you stay with us but something else entirely."
Dexter froze slightly at Mira’s deduction. The girls were actually smarter than they looked.
He looked at three of them andsmiled. "Do you want your pain back or want to stop cultivating the 7th tier technique? Or do you want me to stop taking care of you three?"
The girls blinked their eyes, they certainly don’t want that. Mira frowned. "That’s not what we’re asking you."
Dexter shrugged and turned around to wash the plates. "I certainly have my reasons for being with you three and rest assured, my intentions are pure. I don’t have plans on leaving you three any time soon. Unless either of you want to leave me, then that’s fine."
He turned back and his expression turned serious. "I promise not to leave you three. Satisfied?"
The three stared at Dexter with various expressions on their faces. While they truly wish to know his intentions, him specifically telling them he would never leave them made thee hearts fluttered and even the indifferent Mira’s felt her belly tickled with butterflies.
Selene squeezed her legs as she stared at Dexter with an expression different from the two girls.
Dexter hadn’t particularly answered their questions but they were quite satisfied.
Mira grunted an unknown word while Selene and Lyra smiled internally as they each head to their favorite position to cultivate.
Dexter was deep in thought. It was true. Without the system, he most likely wouldn’t have cared for them.
But now, he was starting to carw for them even without the system. And the system had become an added bonus reward for him.

That evening, Dexter prepared dinner once more.
He used the new Type-II Spirit Cooking Pot for the first time. The pot was crafted from a dark metal that seemed to absorb light. Its surface was smooth and warm to the touch. When heated, it distributed temperature perfectly across every inch of its interior.
No hot spots. No cold zones. Perfect circulation.
The food cooked faster and more evenly than anything he had prepared before.
The moment he finished cooking...
[Ding!]
[100× Return Activated.]
[Reward Obtained: E-Rank Talent — Alchemist Flame.]
A warm crimson flame suddenly appeared above Dexter’s palm.
It flickered gently like a candle in a quiet room.
Unlike ordinary fire, it emitted no burning heat. It didn’t scorch. It didn’t spread.
Instead, it carried a gentle warmth that perfectly controlled temperature. He could feel the flame responding to his will. Hotter. Cooler. Wider. Narrower. Every adjustment happened instantly.
It was the ideal flame for cooking.
It was also the ideal flame for alchemy.
But that was a thought for another day.
"This will make fodd smithing meals much easier..."
The corners of his lips rose.
He cultivated the entire night but just an hour into the cultivation, his body rumbled as he broke through to the first level of the Eternal Buddha Endurance Scripture.
The Flesh Tempering Realm.
Eternal Buddha Endurance Scripture
A legendary body-refining art that transforms pain into power. Every wound, hardship, poison, and trial endured permanently tempers the body. The greater the suffering, the greater the growth.
---
First Stage – Flesh Tempering
The practitioner’s body begins to convert pain into vitality. Muscles, tendons, and bones gradually become stronger with every injury, while minor wounds heal faster than before. Fatigue also recovers more quickly, allowing the practitioner to withstand longer battles.
---
Second Stage – Iron Bones
The skeleton undergoes a complete transformation, becoming as tough as refined steel. Bones are far more difficult to break, and even when fractured, they mend at an astonishing rate. The practitioner’s resistance to pain and ordinary toxins also increases significantly.
---
Third Stage – Golden Organs
The internal organs are refined into a far more resilient state, making them resistant to internal injuries and disease. The practitioner’s vitality and stamina increase greatly, while regeneration becomes noticeably faster. Most common poisons lose much of their effectiveness.
---
Fourth Stage – Vajra Flesh
The flesh and skin become incredibly durable, allowing the practitioner to withstand powerful physical attacks with minimal damage. Heat, cold, and harsh environments become easier to endure, while wounds close much faster than those of an ordinary cultivator.
---
Fifth Stage – Diamond Marrow
The marrow is reborn, producing blood infused with extraordinary vitality. The practitioner’s regenerative abilities improve dramatically, physical endurance reaches an exceptional level, and aging slows considerably. Most poisons become incapable of causing lasting harm.
---
Sixth Stage – Bodhisattva Heart
The practitioner’s heart and mind become as unshakable as a mountain. Fear, intimidation, and many forms of mental interference lose their effect. Rather than weakening the practitioner, pain sharpens their focus and strengthens their resolve in battle.
---
Seventh Stage – Eternal Vajra Body
The body reaches a level of resilience where ordinary weapons and techniques struggle to inflict meaningful damage. Even grievous injuries no longer significantly reduce combat ability, and lost flesh or damaged limbs can slowly regenerate over time.
---
Eighth Stage – Nirvana Rebirth
Every brush with death becomes an opportunity for rebirth. The practitioner recovers from devastating injuries at miraculous speeds, and each recovery permanently strengthens every aspect of the body. Their lifespan expands greatly, and the body continues evolving after every life-threatening ordeal.
---
Ninth Stage – Eternal Buddha Body
The practitioner’s body ascends beyond mortal limitations, becoming an indestructible vessel tempered through endless suffering. Pain is instantly transformed into overwhelming vitality, regeneration, and strength. The flesh, bones, blood, and even the soul possess extraordinary durability, making the practitioner nearly impossible to kill. As long as they are not completely annihilated, they can recover from almost any injury, and every hardship they endure permanently increases their power without a true limit.
