Chapter 158: Strength Increase (1/2)

Splash!

”Brother!”

”Master!”

The two called out in worry but noticed that Lin Xiao was still in the center of the bath without moving in the slightest bit. The two of them were stunned then they turned around.

Sui Wenyan was sitting not far from them, practicing with a bucket of water to control her soundwaves. She glanced in their direction when she sensed their gazes and arched her eyebrows. Her expression looked as if she was saying, 'Is there anything wrong with me training here?'

Lin Yun: ”…”

Wenren Yu: ”…”

You're making us panic, Wenyan!

Grumbling, Wenren Yu paid his attention back to Lin Xiao. He noticed that the water in the tub had decreased exponentially. It seemed that as the medicine was absorbed, the water would also be absorbed into Lin Xiao's body in accordance.

However, the color of the water started to turn murky as if someone spilled an ink into the tub.

”It's almost done.”

Wenren Yu grabbed a few more herbs then placed it onto the bath. The water turned clear again and he waited. Once the water turned murky, he would add the herbs and then waited again.

Lin Yun watched the process with sweat on his back. If this continues, it meant that his brother would be in constant pain all along. However, he noticed that his brother no longer looked like he was in pain.

”Will the pain decrease as time continue?” Lin Yun asked.

”No, but your senses will be duller because you're numb to the pain after some time,” Wenren Yu replied.

”Oh.”

Since the pain continued to stay at the same level, it was Lin Xiao's tolerance that increased. Since that was the case, he wouldn't have as intense reaction as before when he was facing the medicinal bath. It was a good thing since it meant that he wouldn't suffer that much.

While they were talking, Lin Xiao was completely focused on the circulation. To make sure that he could tolerate the pain, he simply focused his attention to the circulation in his body and continued to focus to circulate his Qi all around his body. This was the only way he would be able to stay awake without shouting in pain all day long.

As time passed, Lin Xiao no longer felt any pain.

He furrowed his brows and tried to sense his surroundings before opening his eyes. Looking at Wenren Yu, he opened his mouth, ”Is it done?”

His voice was hoarse despite not speaking for hours. It was as if the pain was also disrupting his vocal cord whilst strengthening his body in overall.

Wenren Yu nodded. The water had already cooled down and the color had turned into white. Unlike the murky water from before, this one was closer to the color of white rather than black. It was quite astonishing that the water could change color so quickly like that.

”Yes, congratulations, Master.”

Lin Xiao nodded. He grabbed the side and tried to stand up…

Crack!
