After returning to his room from the library, three month old Luke actively began accumulating Qi in his backbone for the first time.
His accumulation rate was ten units per minute average for someone with a green-tier talent.
After ten minutes of unknowingly cultivating, he drifted off to sleep. Several hours later, in the middle of the night, his body instinctively resumed the breathing technique to accumulate Qi.
After eleven minutes, he passed out once again.
In the morning, his mother Sarah came and fed him with a bottle, as one month old Luke had started refusing to drink breast milk directly from her.
Sarah looked at Luke gently and said,
"Son, I know you were born intelligent and gifted. You never cry unnecessarily like other children and always behave so well. But you spend far too much time in the library even though you can't read or write yet. So from now on, for a whole month, you're not allowed to go near the library. Just play with your toys for a while, alright?"
Looking at his mother with teary eyes, Luke puffed out his cheeks and changed his expression as if he was about to cry.
"Mama… mama… I study book… libraryyy!" he whimpered, dragging out the last word like it was the end of the world.
Seeing her clever child act like that, Sarah hurriedly said,"Okay, okay! I'll allow it!"
But just as the words left her mouth, a sudden realization struck her like lightning. Her eyes widened, and she gasped."W-Wait… you spoke! And you called me mama! You've never done that before!"
She looked at Luke, both shocked and overwhelmed with joy, her hands trembling slightly as she held him close.
Overwhelmed with happiness, Sarah rushed out of the room, her heart brimming with joy."Wilson! Wilson!" she called out excitedly as she ran down the hall.
She couldn't wait to brag to her husband their son had just spoken for the first time… and he called her "mama" first.
Freed from Sarah's arms, Luke headed to the library with the help of his personal maid, Mary.
However, Mary wasn't allowed inside, so Luke ventured in alone to find a book on human anatomy.
"Human Body" is the title of the book that Luke began to read.
What he found in the book wasn't shocking, because its content was the same as in his old world textbooks.
Today, he came to the library specifically to confirm his doubts.
After briefly scanning through the book, Luke gently placed it back on the shelf and returned to Mary's arms.
Back in his room, he resumed his routine actively absorbing Qi through the breathing technique.
Day after day, he followed the same cycle: cultivate, sleep, and awaken repeating this rhythm for four months until his entire backbone was filled to the brim with Qi energy.
Now it was time for the final step, which was very painful refining the entire skeleton.
Normally, this process wasn't risky, but for Luke, it was.
He was attempting to refine his bones much earlier than other children.
Usually, a child with green or red talent would start sensing Qi at the age of two or three, and they would begin learning about the refinement process around the age of four.
In contrast, Luke was trying to refine his bones nearly three years earlier than his peers, which was extremely dangerous.
At the same time, he had to keep everything a secret from his parents and maid.
Luke first looked around to confirm that no one was in his room.
Once certain, he began channeling the Qi from his backbone to his toes, gradually moving it upward through his entire body until it reached his skull.
As the Qi spread through all his bones, an overwhelming wave of pain struck him.
His body trembled, and he clenched his fists tightly, focusing his mind solely on success.
Moments later, his bones began to crack and heal repeatedly a cycle that continued for several minutes.
Finally, after enduring the intense pain, he successfully completed the bone refinement process. Now, only one step remained before reaching the Body Refining Realm.
Within moments of his success, he fell unconscious.
