After hearing the promise, Qi Zhiheng led Yang Yitian away.

Having earned a large sum of spirit stones, Qi Zhiheng planned to bury some in his spatial storage to prevent the Moon Beast from constantly criticizing his incompetence!

Qi Zhiheng returned to the courtyard and took Yang Yitian into the space. Once inside, he discovered that the spiritual herbs that were originally near the array were growing very well.

Qi Zhiheng guessed that it might be related to the spirit stone he buried, so he inquired about the moon beast's situation.

The moon beast sensed the slightly different spiritual energy compared to before and said, "That's the effect of the spirit stones, of course."

According to the Moon Beast, only when the spiritual energy feedback from this space is sufficient will the space be full of vitality and the spiritual herbs will grow well.

After these spirit stones are absorbed by this small world, they will circulate in this world, becoming its own operating energy, resonating with all the spiritual things here, and the spiritual energy here will also increase.

Thinking of the potential benefits in the future, Qi Zhiheng made a tough decision and buried half of the spirit stones he had just earned in the ground, placing them closest to the planting field of level-five spirit herbs.

After burying the spirit stone, he planted some level-five spirit herbs that he would need for medicinal baths later. By the time his Five Elements Body Tempering Technique breaks through to the second stage, these spirit herbs should be ripe.

After planting the spiritual herbs, they dug up some second-level spiritual herbs to prepare for a medicinal bath. A month is almost up.

Since his last enlightenment and advancement, it has become even more difficult for him to continue cultivating and breaking through. It is estimated that this body will have to wait until he cultivates the "Five Elements Body Forging Technique" to the next level before it is possible to break through again.

Someone like him needs far more than ten times the amount of spiritual energy others require; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's dozens of times more. Not only does he need a large quantity, but it also needs to be purified spiritual energy. Qi Zhiheng sighed, deciding to settle down and soak in the medicinal bath for now.

Soaking in the medicinal bath, Qi Zhiheng began to circulate his internal energy to eliminate impurities and strengthen his flesh and bones.

Compared to the prolonged pain in the first stage, the pain here is short but intense, and the pain is almost several times greater.

He couldn't immediately tell which of the two types of pain was better or worse.

Qi Zhiheng's lips gradually lost their color, and Yang Yitian could see his pain. However, since this seemed to be some kind of cultivation practice, he didn't want to interrupt him.

Yang Yitian walked around the bathtub, but still couldn't see anything.

Qi Zhiheng suddenly opened his eyes and met Yang Yitian's shifty eyes.

Yang Yitian, feeling guilty, was startled! He cried out, "I'm going to die! Why didn't you tell me you were opening your eyes all of a sudden?!"

Although Qi Zhiheng was in excruciating pain, he could still bear it and even had the mind to tease: "If you have nothing to hide, why are you afraid I'll open my eyes? Dare to say you weren't spying on my body?" Tsk, with such a small thought, who doesn't know who?

Hearing this, Yang Yitian took a few more steps closer and glanced into the bathtub, saying, "I'm looking openly and honestly, how can that be called peeping?" People say you have the desire but not the courage, but Yang Yitian had both the desire and the courage!

"Nonsense!" Qi Zhiheng rolled his eyes.

Yang Yitian asked, "What are you brewing?"

"A medicinal bath for body tempering!" Qi Zhiheng was chatting with Yang Yitian, which distracted him a bit, making the pain in his body seem less noticeable.

Yang Yitian asked curiously, "What's the use of soaking this? Can I soak it?"

"This medicinal bath was prepared according to my physical condition, so it's not suitable for you. If you'd like to take one too, I'll prepare a different one for you next time." Qi Zhiheng's own medicinal bath was very potent. If Yang Yitian were to take one, he'd probably be screaming like a banshee. He hadn't forgotten that even taking a single drop of his blood would make him howl! What a delicate fellow!

Yang Yitian was somewhat looking forward to it, thinking happily that although it wasn't a bathtub, it could still be considered a couple's bath.

After this medicinal bath, Qi Zhiheng's body had cleared up a lot of stagnation, but he would need to soak in it several more times to widen his meridians.
