Chapter 30: Cruel to Her Enemies, Even Crueler to Herself
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Considering the conditions for using the Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Potion, Yan Xi did not let Yan Gu bring the water to her courtyard. Instead, she changed it to Yan Chushi’s courtyard.
Not long after, two large bathtubs in the courtyard were filled with water. Yan Xi poured the boiled medicinal juice into the bathtubs according to the dosage. Soon, a wisp of dark green mist spread out and melted in the water.
The water in the bathtub was not turbid because of this but instead looked clear like jade.
Yan Xi retracted her hand in satisfaction and said to the two people behind her, “Take off your clothes.”
Hearing Yan Xi’s bold words, Yan Gu crossed his arms in front of his chest, looking frightened.
“What are you thinking about?” Yan Xi was rendered speechless when she saw how frightened he was. She pointed to the tub. “I’m asking you to soak in the medicine.”
“Oh, I see.” Yan Gu looked at the bath bucket behind him and nodded. He still did not dare move and looked at Yan Xi.
Even Yan Chushi, who had always listened to Yan Xi, stood in front of her without moving. He looked at Yan Xi with watery eyes and his little face was red.
Yan Xi looked at the two boys who were doing the same thing. She was confused for two seconds, then understood.
Yan Xi gave them some space. “I’ll wait outside. You guys take a bath.”
The door was closed, and Yan Gu wiped his sweat. Yan Xi was way too cool. He asked, “Is Yan Xi a man or a woman? ”
Yan Chushi stared at him unkindly.
“Forgive me.” Yan Gu immediately scratched his head. The big boss must be different in some way.
After he finished speaking, he could not help but look at the bathtub at the side. He was hesitating about whether he should go in or not. Yan Chushi had already soaked in it. The moment he entered, the color of the medicinal liquid faded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He squinted in satisfaction—as if he was very comfortable.
Seeing this, Yan Gu could not help but also soak in it.
After a while, Yan Xi-who was standing outside, heard a scream, “It’s so painful!”
Yan Gu suspected that Yan Chushi was pretending to be comfortable so that he would suffer with him!
As soon as he entered the liquid, he felt as if his entire body was being pricked by needles. It hurt everywhere!
Hearing such a loud cry of pain, Yan Xi was relieved.
If he still had the strength to cry out in pain, he must be fine.
Her voice was heard. “It’s good that it hurts. If one wants to increase their aptitude, one has to pay a price. If you want to be comfortable all the time, then you can give up.”
Yan Gu, who was just about to get up, gritted his teeth and sat back in.
“You guys soak in it first. You can only come out when the green liquid in the medicine has faded and become clear,” Yan Xi continued.
Soaking in Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Potion would go through two stages. First, the body would absorb the medicinal power and make the liquid clear, but then the body would expel the impurities, and the clear water would turn turbid.
Generally speaking, it would take at least one night to absorb the level one Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Potion. Yan Xi yawned and returned to her courtyard. She had to prepare her own medicine now.
She was different from them. Other than impurities, her body also contained many slow-acting poisons, so she needed to make some adjustments to the prescription.
She returned to the courtyard and found a few more herbs from the remaining herbs. She extracted the juice and dripped it into the potion.
If there were other Alchemists present, they would definitely think that she was crazy.
Any complete formula was a perfect formula obtained through thousands of experiments. Adding other herbs without permission, or even changing the dosage a little, would produce unpredictable consequences.
Only with a clear understanding of the medicinal properties of various herbs would an experienced master dare to make changes to an existing recipe!
After confirming the medicinal properties, Yan Xi entered the bath barrel.
As soon as her skin came into contact with the liquid, an intense pain came from her limbs and bones, as if countless tiny needles had pierced her bone marrow.
Cleansing and forging the marrow was already extremely painful. In addition, the slow-acting poison in Yan Xi’s body had been in her body for a long time. To remove it, the pain she experienced increased exponentially!
Yan Xi grunted and pursed her lips. She began to operate her cultivation method to speed up the absorption of the medicine.
Originally, there was a one-day gap between the first and second level Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Potion before she could continue to absorb it. However, she would be setting off for Misty Forest tomorrow, so she wanted to obtain the power to protect herself before that.
The faster the absorption of the medicinal properties, the more pain she had to endure.
Chi Li, who was still sleeping, felt Yan Xi’s spiritual fluctuation. He slowly opened his pair of bright golden eyes, revealing a look of shock.
With the change of the prescription and the accelerated absorption, Yan Xi was only absorbing the level one Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Potion, but the pain was no less than the level five Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Potion!
Yan Xi was cruel to her enemies, but she was even crueler to herself!
It did not take long for the medicinal liquid in the tub to become clear, and then it was dyed red by Yan Xi’s blood.
The impurities were discharged along with the blood, and not long after, an unpleasant smell floated in the air.
Yan Xi endured the remaining pain after the body tempering, pinched her nose, and quickly washed herself clean.
This body was so filthy that she almost thought she was in a garbage dump.
After the first round, Yan Xi began the second round of body tempering.
This time, the impurities discharged from the body were much less than the first time. Body tempering was like the process of forging iron. The more the iron was struck, the fewer impurities there were in the iron. The same was true for body tempering.
After absorbing the last bit of medicinal power, Yan Xi, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened her eyes. A bright light flashed across her dark eyes.
Yan Xi stretched her hands and feet and communicated with Chi Li with her spiritual sense.
Now that the body tempering was complete, the next step was to remove the ice poison in her meridians.
“My natal fire is the Nirvana Flame. The pain of Nirvana is not something that everyone can bear. Every inch of your body will be destroyed and reborn continuously. It will be a thousand times more painful than your previous body tempering. If you can’t hold on, you may die. Ugly girl, are you sure you want to start now?” It was rare for Chi Li to not be sarcastic.
“It’s better to take a gamble than to remain a cripple. Let’s start.” Yan Xi’s eyes were firm.
Chi Li no longer spoke. A wisp of blazing golden fire slowly floated out of the iron bracelet.
The flame was astonishingly bright, like a flowing gold.
Yan Xi did not have time to see it clearly before the flame entered her body.
In the next moment, extreme pain occupied all her senses!
“Oh!” Yan Xi, who had remained silent even when she was tempering her body, was now in so much pain that she almost curled up.
The fire burned every inch of her body, and blood gushed out of her pores.
Her soft skin was burned red, and bubbles were formed. Her bones and blood were constantly melting and regenerating.
