Chapter 54 (1/2)
That night, the Nirvana Flame Tempering Bath appeared in Lin Qian’s room again. This time, the colour was a much richer crimson red than in the past.
The medicinal potency of this Nirvana Flame Tempering Bath was leaps and bounds ahead of the past few. Correspondingly, the pain Lin Qian had to endure was also several times worse.
Taking off his clothes, Lin Qian took a long look at the dark red solution. With a deep breath, he stepped into a wooden barrel and sat in it. Within instants, he felt a dull red flush potion over his head.
The instant his leg stepped into the barrel, Lin Qian gasped. A piercing pain shot through his nerves. A fierce blazing sensation burnt through his whole body without delay.
As he sat submerged in the wooden pail, Lin Qian bit his teeth together tightly, resisting the excruciating pain that surged through his body in wave after wave.
Fortunately, Lin Qian had an iron-tough physique due to his 12 Round Nirvana training. Otherwise, there was no way his body can withstand this torturous pain from the colossal amount of medication injected like needles into the body.
Even if the sturdiest body from the Inner Sect, Liu Ming, were to be in Lin Qian position, his body would immediately erupt into pieces from the cascading medication.
Shutting his eyes, Lin Qian regulated his breathing gradually as he got used to the unceasing pain.
If he couldn’t even withstand the trial of this little pain, how was he going to force his way through and save his parents?
Bit by bit, his mind settled and calmed down under the pain. Soon, he circulated his Soul Energy following the Regal Emperor Mantra designed by the Tiangong Ministry.
The aura pulsating from Lin Qian intensified with each breath he took. As his Soul Energy circulated per the Mantra, his Soul Energy stacked and snowballed rapidly.
Outside the mansion, Wei Wushuang stood and stared silently at the room Lin Qian was in. As he stared wistfully, his fingers fidgeted behind his back.
On Prison Island, the toxins had burst forth at full force, robbing him of his strength. At his weakest state, he met the terrified and panic-stricken Lin Qian.
At that fateful place, under the dog eats dog circumstances, the teacher and disciple shared an unbreakable bond.
They could be said to build this bond in a life and death situation.
Moreover, when Wei Wushuang was at the brink of death, Lin Qian pulled him out of the grips of the angel of death.
“Breaking into the Nirvana Stage is risky business. Should your attention lapse, accidents could happen very easily. Qian’er, you gotta be careful!” As Wei Wushuang paced the courtyard, his eyes fixated onto the mansion, muttering as he worried for his only disciple, “Show Teacher, what miracle a 12 Round Nirvana, Nirvana Stage Practitioner can bring!”
In the middle of the night, Lin Qian, who was sitting quietly in the wooden barrel, had once again returned to the ninth level of Materialised Vitality Stage.
Unlike other soul Practitioners, when Lin Qian ignited his Martial Soul, it did not dissipate wastefully. Instead, each drop of his Soul Energy was fully utilised.
As such, after Lin Qian practised his 12 Rounds Nirvana, his foundation was refined and became extraordinarily strong, making it easy to restore his cultivation.
What’s more, with the help of such gigantic amounts of specially tailored medicine, it was impossible to restore his cultivation speedily.
9th Tier Materialised Vitality Stage sounded the start to his breakthrough into Nirvana Stage!
A deep rumble reverberated within Lin Qian’s body. His bright Soul Energy nebula erupted into a blazing inferno.
At that instant, his Dantian instantaneously morphed into a humongous sea of flames.
“Nirvana Flame Rebirth!”
Despite the hectic situation within his Dantian, Lin Qian’s mind remained at the state of tranquillity. Instead, he focused on leading the blazing Soul Energy, circulating through his body.
Like a burning snake, the Soul Energy slathered through even meridian, baking his body from within.
At the same time, the burning Soul Energy dissipated like miniature sparks, permeating Lin Qian bones and flesh.
As his Soul Energy combusted, the Nirvana Flame Tempering Bath also roared like a wildfire, engulfing Lin Qian’s body within it.
Every single hair on Lin Qian’s body was mercilessly charred to nothingness.
As the fire raged on, the potion within the pail bubbled vigorously. With every moment, the suffocatingly dense crimson mist only got thicker within the room.
