Chapter 1784: Ready to go

Lin Yi didn’t think that the liquid would have such an effect-there wasn’t anything as cooling as Mentholum, but it was so cold when mixed together that he almost jumped out of the water!

Fortunately, Lin Yi knew that this was a necessary stage before he could reach the second stage of the art of Dragon mastery. He could only grit his teeth and endure it! If he accidentally spilled the pot of medicinal liquid that he had worked so hard to prepare, it would be difficult to prepare the same pot of medicinal liquid again!

There were many herbs here that old Lin didn’t grow in his garden, and they were rare. After using them this time, the rest couldn’t be picked anymore-they had to be kept as seeds, so if he wanted to make another pot of liquid, he’d have to wait until next year. Lin Yi didn’t dare to be careless.

The liquid Lin Yi took seemed to have a cold effect as well-not only did it not drive away the cold, but it made Lin Yi feel that the cold was getting stronger and stronger. Lin Yi couldn’t take it anymore and wanted to use the art of Dragon mastery to resist it!

However, Lin Yi’s mind was still very clear. He knew that when this medicine was used to refine his body, he couldn’t use his Qi to resist it. Otherwise, the refining would fail and the desired effect wouldn’t be achieved. So, Lin Yi had no choice but to silently endure the cold!

It was a good thing that Lin Yi didn’t feel much better when he was soaked in the medicine by old Lin when he was young. He gritted his teeth and persevered. It was more painful now, but it was still bearable. He thought of Feng Xiaoxiao. Feng Xiaoxiao’s “last” days were extremely cold every day, and she got through it. Was he worse than her?

So Lin Yi clenched his teeth, closed his eyes, and sat quietly in the basin, waiting for the time to come. According to the body refinement recipe, he had to soak for twenty-four hours before the body refinement could be completed, and Lin Yi didn’t dare to waste a single second!

It was a good thing that the body refinement this time was shorter, not as long as the initial Foundation Stage. Back then, old Lin had Lin Yi soak in the liquid almost every day, but of course, the pain was different.

Time passed, second by second, and in the blink of an eye, half a day had passed. Lin Yi was surprised to find that the color of the body tempering liquid in the basin had become lighter and lighter, and as time passed, it was getting lighter and lighter!

Lin Yi was quite surprised at this phenomenon-when he was at the Foundation Stage, the amount of liquid he soaked in didn’t change much. Could it be that his body absorbed all the liquid this time?

In the blink of an eye, twelve hours had passed. What made Lin Yi even more shocked was that the body refinement liquid in the basin had turned transparent. In other words, he had completely absorbed the body refinement liquid!

......

However, it had only been twelve hours. It wasn’t the twenty-four-hour limit yet, so even if the liquid was completely absorbed, Lin Yi still sat in the basin without moving, afraid of making any mistakes.

However, Lin Yi’s body no longer felt the cold from before. It was replaced by a normal feeling. It was as if the water was just clean water used for bathing, nothing special!

But even so, Lin Yi didn’t leave the basin.

As expected, what happened next proved that Lin Yi’s decision was correct. As time passed, the water in the basin changed color again, from the initial transparent color to a light yellow-brown, and then the color became darker and darker ...

In the end, the entire basin of water had turned into the color of ink, much to Lin Yi’s surprise! At this point, Lin Yi finally understood the theory behind the medicine. He felt lucky that he didn’t leave the basin in twelve hours. If he did, he would have failed!

The liquid was probably absorbed into his body in the last twelve hours, and that was why Lin Yi felt so cold! The next twelve hours should be the detoxification period, and the liquid carried all the impurities out of his body, so Lin Yi didn’t feel cold anymore. He even felt very comfortable, as if he was much fresher!

This was probably similar to the effect brought about by the stone door on the second floor of the cave. The stone door completed the tempering of the energy and true Qi in the body, while this medicinal liquid completed the tempering of the body’s own physique. The two had the same effect, but neither could be missing!

Finally, the 24-hour mark was up, and the entire basin of water had already turned into the color of black ink. It even had a fishy smell, which was obviously the impurities discharged from his body!

When the time was up, Lin Yi jumped out of the basin and quickly used the clean water to wipe his body!

After finishing everything, Lin Yi put on his clothes and walked out of his room with the basin.

As Lin Yi expected, he saw old Lin’s figure in the yard! He was still sitting on the chair as usual, guarding Lin Yi’s room quietly. Seeing that Lin Yi had walked out of the room successfully, old Lin smiled tiredly,”Did you succeed, Yi?”

“I’ve succeeded!” Lin Yi put the basin on the ground, “It’s all black water ...”

“What do you want me to see? Still not pouring it out? It’s so smelly!” Old Lin waved his hand and quickly stood up.”Alright, the preliminary work is done. It’s time for me to rest. If you want to sleep, then sleep. If you want to continue cultivating, then cultivate!”

After that, old Lin turned around and walked back to his room without looking back!

Lin Yi smiled bitterly and poured the water away before returning to his room. It was midnight, and Tang Yun and the others were resting. Lin Yi didn’t want to disturb them.

Plus, since Lin Yi had completed his body refinement, he couldn’t wait to start on the second stage of the art of Dragon mastery. He’d been looking forward to it for a long time-once he finished the second stage, he’d be able to open the third stone door!

After cleaning up, Lin Yi sat down cross-legged on the bed once more ... If you like this work, you are welcome to come to to vote for recommendation and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
