Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 268: A Path For Nomi Part Two

Mei's heart sank hearing this. She wondered if Nomi felt like he needed to be of use to her to garner any attention from her. He was only five years younger than her but she decided to make him her son instead of a brother because Frey really needed a sibling. Someone she could connect with that wasn't an adult. "Nomi, why do you want to be helpful to Mother?"

"Mother found me and gave me a new life. Mother gave me, someone who could not remember what happened before, a new name and called me her son. I owe Mother so much and want to become strong so that I can protect Mother and older sister." Nomi said seriously.

Mei sighed and pulled Nomi into a hug. "Nomi, remember you are my son and you can do whatever you want. I will give you whatever path you want. If you want to be a normal child and just play every day I am willing to let you do as you please. If you wish to become strong, then I will also make this a possibility for you." 

"I want to become strong!" Nomi said as he hugged Mei. 

"Then as your Mother, I will make sure you can accomplish that. But from now on you will need to follow a strict schedule okay?" Mei said as she rubbed the top of Nomi's head. 

"Un! Nomi will follow whatever Mother says."

Mei went right to work setting everything up for Nomi. The first thing he would undergo would be the opening of his meridians. According to The Method to Transcend The Gods cultivation method, every human in this universe had the ability to cultivate. It was just a matter of if you were on a world that had spiritual qi on it. Nomi, although he had only one magic point would be able to still cultivate both Magicules and spiritual qi. It also said that if they practiced correctly they had a chance of opening up more Magi Points.

With Loeri's assistance, Mei had got a medical herb bath ready using some of the herbs from the palace. Luckily she had the palace or she would not be able to create this medical bath to open Nomi's meridians. This was a special method from The Method to Transcend The Gods cultivation method. It was said to also reforge the bones and muscles. This will make Nomi's constitution a lot better. 

After everything was ready Mei turned to Nomi and said: "Nomi, after you strip down and climb into the bath, you will begin to feel unbearable pain. You will need to endure. You can not pass out. If you pass out the process will not work as good. Mother will do whatever she can to try to help you endure the pain." 

Nomi nodded his head and stripped down to nothing and climbed into the bath. As soon as he sat down in the water he already felt like his bones and muscles were being ripped out of his body. But he clenched his little fist and gritted his teeth as he endured the pain. But soon he felt a cooling sensation flow through his body reducing the pain greatly. He could feel Mei's hand on his head as she injected a spiritual qi into his body. 

Mei sat next to the bath with her hand placed on Nomi's head. Her eyes closed as she injected spiritual qi into his body. She was doing her best to make sure to coat each section that was being reforged with her spiritual qi. Trying to numb the pain as much as possible. She wanted Nomi to succeed. 

This process was a long one. After almost four hours the bath water went from a greenish red color to a black color as all the impurities in Nomi's body were expelled. Loeri had already gotten a second tub ready with clean water. Mei helped Nomi out of the tub and over to the new tub full of clean water. Mei washed his hair for him while Loeri helped him get the black sludge off his body. 

Now fully dressed and feeling refreshed, Mei was stunned to see that Nomi seemed to have grown a little taller and filled out some after opening his meridians and reforming his bones and muscles. Mei smiled and patted Nomi's head as she said: "You are growing into a fine young man now! Congratulations Nomi, you can now officially start cultivating."

Nomi smiled brightly when he heard this. Although it was painful he felt it was well worth going through the pain. Because now he felt stronger and more energetic than before. "Mother now, I can be useful to you!"

Mei laughed and flicked his forehead. "You do not need to be useful to me. All you need to do is live a life where you can be happy. My job as your mother is to support you so that you can reach those goals. Now follow the schedule I set up for you since this is the path you chose to take. I will not be lenient unless you tell me you want to quit. Also, when we return home you will get to meet your future father."

"Father?" Nomi looked at Mei a bit confused.

"Mhm. He is a wonderful man who your mother loves." Mei said with her cheeks a bit red. She really did miss Blake. She couldn't wait for the day when she returned to be able to see him again.

" Then I will make sure to grow in strength so I can make Father proud of me too!" Nomi said happily as he looked over his schedule. Mei looked at the happy boy and smiled as she thought: 'It seems he has found his path...'
