Upon hearing this, Rong Zi gave him a reproachful look.
"What kind of talk is that? I am your master. As the saying goes, 'A teacher for a day is a father for life.' As your elder, it is only right for me to do anything for your cultivation. Don't feel burdened. Just remember my kindness and repay me well."
Her own apprentice still cares for her the most.
I can't bear to see her go through so much trouble.
Her apprentice is so good; she'll have to treat him even better from now on...
She remembered seeing a medicinal bath recipe for tempering the body in the pill formula before. If it could be used in conjunction with the Body Tempering Pill, the effect would definitely be better.
Before Yun Jing takes the Body Tempering Pill, let's give him a bath too.
Yun Jing: "..."
...
Ten minutes later.
Rong Zi stood in front of a large pot, stirring the soup inside with a ladle while adding spiritual plants one by one.
Yun Jing looked at her, completely bewildered. "Master, what's wrong...?"
Cai Niu, the little fire-starting expert, remains steadfast in her post.
"Keep the fire low, don't let it get too hot."
Rong Zi gave Cai Niu some instructions before answering Yun Jing.
"This is a medicinal bath to accompany the Body Tempering Pill. You will sit directly in the pot later."
Yun Jing's pupils trembled. "So, this is actually... meant to be used to cook me?"
He knew this pot all too well.
They used it every day to cook delicious monster meat.
And now, her master actually wants to use him to cook?!
What's this?
Apprentice stewed in an iron pot?
Rong Zi continued working, turning her head to glare at Yun Jing.
"What do you mean 'cook you'? I just forgot to prepare the bathtub."
"Look, this pot is just the right size. Luckily you're still small. If you were any bigger, you might not be able to fit in."
After saying that, she clapped her hands in satisfaction, "Alright, hurry up, hurry up and put it in the pot while the heat is just right."
Put it in the pot...
And you still say you didn't cook him?
Yun Jing hesitated for a long time, dawdling for quite a while before finally resignedly climbing into the pot.
The water in the pot was a little too hot, and he turned red all over from the steam.
Seeing this, Rong Zi first told Cai Niu to stop firing, and then quickly took out the strangely shaped Body Tempering Pill that she had carved and handed it to Yun Jing.
"Quickly take the pill, and then absorb the medicinal effects of the pill and the medicinal bath little by little according to the breathing technique I taught you."
Yun Jing stared at the pill in her hand but did not reach out to take it.
"This pill..."
Will eating this really kill you?
Rong Zi thought he was bothered by the appearance of the pill, so he earnestly advised, "Disciple, let me tell you, the appearance of the pill is not important. The efficacy is the most important. Don't worry, after you take this pill, I guarantee that you will definitely be able to enter the Qi Refining stage."
Yun Jing reluctantly accepted the pill.
Whether the medicine is effective or not is secondary.
He only hoped that he could survive...
Yun Jing held the pill and mentally prepared himself for a while, but he just couldn't bring himself to eat it.
Seeing that he was dawdling, Rong Zi urged, "Eat quickly."
Let's give it our all!
Yun Jing took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and stuffed the pill into his mouth.
Then……
He choked.
Although the pill had shrunk a bit after Rong Zi peeled it, it was still at least about the size of two pigeon eggs.
Yun Jing gulped it down in one go, choking so badly that her eyes rolled back in her head.
"Water...water..."
His voice was too soft for Rong Zi to hear clearly, so she leaned forward and asked, "What did you say?"
Yun Jing gripped the edge of the pot tightly with both hands. In desperation, he plunged headfirst into the medicinal bath, drank a mouthful of his own bathwater, and finally managed to swallow the pill stuck in his throat.
Rong Zi was taken aback by his actions.
"Oh dear, this is for your bath, why are you drinking it?"
Has her culinary skills reached such an extraordinary level?
Even just boiling a medicinal bath in a pot makes it taste so delicious?
Yun Jing was so tempted that he didn't hesitate to drink the bathwater used to stew himself.
Yun Jing shed two lines of clear tears.
Waaah, he didn't want to drink his own bathwater either.
But he didn't want to choke to death...
Yun Jing's face was already covered in water droplets, but Rong Zi didn't notice his tears.
Just as Yun Jing was about to say something, a burning pain, like being engulfed in flames, suddenly shot through his dantian. The pain caused him to instinctively curl up and let out a cry of pain.
"ah……"
Seeing this, Rong Zi knew that the medicine was working and quickly said, "Quickly, calm your mind and activate your inner power!"
Yun Jing disregarded everything else, sat cross-legged in the center of the large pot, closed his eyes to calm himself down, endured the pain in his dantian, and began to use his mental cultivation technique to guide the effects of the medicine in his body.
Seeing that he was in the zone, Rong Zi sat down quietly and waited.
Half an hour has passed.
Yun Jing had not yet opened her eyes.
Rong Zi circled the large pot, stroking her chin as she looked at Yun Jing, who was sitting motionless in the pot, steaming with heat. She began to ponder.
Why haven't we achieved a breakthrough yet?
Could it be that her attempt to refine the Body Tempering Pill failed?
That shouldn't be the case.
She strictly followed the steps in the prescription to refine it, so the efficacy is definitely not a problem.
I guess it's not time yet.
However……
An hour has passed.
Yun Jing still didn't open her eyes.
Rong Zi yawned and rubbed his eyes.
