A night without words.
The next day, early in the morning, Lin Baichuan was cultivating Wind Shadow Step and Raging Bull Fist in his courtyard when a voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard.
"Is Lin Baichuan here? Wanbao Hall is here to deliver goods..."
The loud voice clearly reached Lin Baichuan's ears, causing him to be momentarily stunned, followed by overwhelming joy. He immediately stopped his practice, hurried to open the courtyard gate, and saw a young man waiting at the entrance.
Upon seeing Lin Baichuan emerge, the young man was momentarily stunned, then immediately bowed respectfully: "Are you Lord Lin? I am a staff member from Wanbao Hall, sent to deliver your auctioned items."
With that, he handed a box to Lin Baichuan.
"Thank you!"
Lin Baichuan was overjoyed. He took the box and immediately opened it, only to see nine smaller boxes inside.
Each box contained a precious Spirit Medicine.
"Lord Lin, if the goods are in order, please sign here so I can report back."
The young man took out a document and handed it to Lin Baichuan.
After Lin Baichuan finished signing, the young man turned and left without hesitation, not dragging his feet at all.
Having obtained the medicinal ingredients, Lin Baichuan no longer had the heart to Cultivate Wind Shadow Step and Raging Bull Fist. He turned and entered the cultivation room in the courtyard, then took out the nine Spirit Medicine plants from the box one by one. After carefully examining each, he placed one of the Spirit Medicine plants into his spatial ring.
The other eight Spirit Medicine plants were all neatly arranged on the table in the room.
Following this, Lin Baichuan took out the xuanyang fruit and Earth Core Spiritual Milk, arranged them, and then muttered to himself: "Now that the Spirit Medicine are gathered, it's time to make the Guiyuan Body Tempering Soup."
As he spoke, Lin Baichuan's gaze fell upon a large wooden tub in the center of the room.
He had specially bought this for medicinal baths. Although Guiyuan Body Tempering Soup has the word 'soup' in its name, it is not meant to be drunk. Instead, it must be used through a medicinal bath.
If consumed orally without caution, the likely result would be an explosion of the Physical Body.
The preparation of Guiyuan Body Tempering Soup is not difficult. The formula Qin Qing gave him contained detailed instructions for its preparation. Lin Baichuan only needed to follow the steps in a simple, step-by-step manner; it didn't require much technical skill.
Approximately two hours later, Lin Baichuan looked at the half-basin of thick, paste-like, light-green liquid in front of him and muttered to himself: "This stuff doesn't look like soup at all! It looks more like paste. Did something go wrong?"
As he spoke, Lin Baichuan stirred the liquid in the basin slightly, and a refreshing fragrance immediately diffused. Lin Baichuan instinctively took a deep breath, instantly feeling comfortable all over, as if bathing in a hot spring.
His 108,000 pores seemed to open in an instant.
"Good stuff! The actual effect..."
Lin Baichuan's eyes sparkled. He immediately went out to fetch water. After pouring two-thirds of the water into a wooden tub he had already prepared in the room, he poured all the Guiyuan Body Tempering Soup into the water.
Gurgle...
Immediately, the cold water in the tub began to boil as if heated, and a rich, clear fragrance diffused, instantly filling the entire room.
Lin Baichuan gritted his teeth, immediately stripped off his clothes, and jumped into the wooden tub.
"Hiss... My goodness, why does it hurt so much!"
As soon as he entered the wooden tub, Lin Baichuan couldn't help but gasp, gritting his teeth and cursing in a low voice: "This Qin Qing, she didn't say this stuff would hurt so much! This woman must have done it on purpose. Sure enough, the most venomous heart belongs to a woman..."
Intense pain swept through his entire body. At this moment, Lin Baichuan felt as if his entire skin and flesh were being torn apart.
At the same time, a cool, potent force immediately seeped into his body through his 108,000 pores, rapidly transforming his Physical Body physique at an astonishing speed, even reshaping his Foundation and inner reserves.
At this moment, Lin Baichuan could clearly sense that the internal Qi within him was becoming more profound. If his internal Qi was a scattered stream before, it was now transforming into a river. However, compared to the increase in Physical Body strength, this slight improvement in internal Qi was insignificant.
"What powerful energy, what astonishing effects! I feel my Physical Body transforming, undergoing extreme sublimation. My Physical Body strength is rapidly increasing and surging."
Numerous thoughts surfaced in Lin Baichuan's mind, and he was ecstatic. He immediately took a long breath, endured the pain throughout his body, and immersed himself completely in the liquid. Since he was going to undergo Body Tempering and transformation, it would be a comprehensive transformation; not even a single hair would be left out.
Time flew by, minute by minute, second by second.
The sun rose in the east and set in the west, and darkness gradually enveloped the earth. Night winds howled between heaven and earth, bringing a biting chill.
Late at night, with the moon high in the sky.
Inside the room, with a muffled thud, Lin Baichuan, who was fully immersed in the wooden tub, suddenly leaped up, rushing out like a ghost.
Under the agitation of the internal Qi within him, the water on his body instantly evaporated.
"Hoo..."
He exhaled a turbid breath, which immediately solidified into a pillar, lingering for a long time. His eyes were as deep and vast as the starry sky, faintly gleaming with brilliance. With a movement of his body, cracking sounds like firecrackers emanated.
His internal muscles and bones resonated, and his skin was like metal, faintly emitting a metallic luster. This was the result of cultivating Copper Skin, where the skin and flesh of his entire body were like copper.
Ordinary mortal weapons striking his body would be like striking metal.
"Guiyuan Body Tempering Soup is indeed extraordinary!"
Lin Baichuan muttered to himself, his face full of excitement: "Now I have reshaped my physique and bones, and even my Comprehension Ability has further improved. It's truly a complete transformation.
My Physical Body strength has advanced by leaps and bounds; I'm afraid it has already surpassed thirty thousand jin."
As he spoke, Lin Baichuan suddenly threw a punch.
Crack... Bang...
A muffled sound like thunder exploded, even the air was violently shattered. Under the sweeping powerful airflow, many tables and chairs in the room were overturned, and the large wooden tub in the center directly burst apart. The Guiyuan Body Tempering Soup, which had already turned into clear water, splashed onto his body. As his body violently trembled, droplets of water, like pearls, smashed onto the ground.
If an outsider were present at this moment, they would surely be astonished.
This was refining the skin and flesh of the body to an incredible Realm, where not a single drop of water would cling, and no insects would land. Throughout history, those who could achieve this in the Ninth Grade Body Refinement Realm were truly few and far between, countable on one's fingers.
"For an ordinary Ninth Grade Body Refinement Realm Martial Artist, reaching five thousand jin of Physical Body strength is considered a Genius. Ten thousand jin is a Prodigy. If one can break the human limit and surpass the ten thousand jin threshold, that is an unparalleled Prodigy, a supreme Prodigy.
Not to mention Cangwu Prefecture, even in Eastern Wasteland Prefecture, such individuals are rare."
Lin Baichuan retracted his fist and muttered to himself: "And I have not only broken the Physical Body limit and cultivated Copper Skin, but my Physical Body strength has probably already surpassed thirty thousand jin. Moreover, I can feel that this is not my limit; my Physical Body strength can still Breakthrough.
The effect of Guiyuan Body Tempering Soup is simply too powerful. It has completely transformed me, reshaped my Foundation and physique, and compensated for the Innate gap between me and those aristocratic family descendants. My future Martial Dao path will become incredibly smooth..."
Lin Baichuan felt completely refreshed, a wide smile on his face. He felt an inexhaustible supply of strength throughout his body.
He immediately put on his clothes, stepped out of the room, and began practicing his punches in the courtyard.
Reshaping his physique and Foundation not only improved his Physical Body but also completely transformed his bones and Comprehension Ability. He felt he had a deeper understanding of Wind Shadow Step and Raging Bull Fist and wanted to seize this opportunity to master both Martial Skill at once...
