On the fourth day of her recovery, Gale reassessed her health and changed the bracelet to a newer one, which let her have so freedom in cycling energy. Well, fifty percent more to the initial twenty percent, so it was thirty percent now.
Well, at least, she wouldn't knowingly blare the alarm. The last ti was really embarrassing when she unwittingly proceeded to cycle at a faster rate during the bath.
Her master hadn't left until she stopped cycling back then.
On the seventh day, he assessed her health again as a dumbfounded expression spread across his face. He removed the bracelet again with an uncertain look on his face. But unlike the other ti, he didn't latch a new one to her wrist but worked on that one.
"Sothing wrong, master?" Xiaolin asked, picking her brows.
Gale shook his head. "Probably sothing unexpectedly good," Gale said.
They were on the roof of the mansion. After the ground floor beca habitable, they shifted in, even though their personal room would be on the first floor. Well, even the half-baked state of the mansion provides more security than what the old house could ever provide.
Well, after Vale ca back, they had nothing to worry about, but they couldn't always leave the security to the fluffy boy.
"What is it?"
"I needed to do a couple of tests to confirm this," Gale inford her, "but apparently, it seems your body went through so developnt the last few days after the incident. Well, it has probably been happening since the beginning of your cultivation with pure crystal. The incident was only a turning point."
That ans, even if Xiaolin listened to him completely and stayed to her schedule, the incident was bound to happen at so point. Well, it wouldn't be that radical, as Gale would be present by her side at that point to dissolve the matter before it escalates.
"What developnt?" Xiaolin was curious. Obviously, it was her body, and she probably felt the change, even if intuitively.
"Do you know why those stones are called pure crystals?" Gale asked instead. "Is is exactly what the na suggests."
"It purifies the body?" It wasn't that hard for Xiaolin to make the connection. "How is that possible, when it is mostly used to boost cycling speed?"
"That's a side effect of the purifying process," Gale said. "Well, magically speaking, the cycling process is required for purification."
"But what does the purification do?"
"It purifies the body and makes it more magical," Gale said with a smile. "And the more a practitioner's body becos magical--"
"The easier it gets for him to absorb energy," Xiaolin completed. Her eyes sparkled. "Is that what happened to ?"
"It happens to everyone when pure crystals are introduced into their system," Gale said, trying to tie down her enthusiasm. "However, the change is faint, almost unnoticeable for most people. It was so inefficient, people mostly forget that it has that effect on people as well. After all, a practitioner becos magical quicker through the advancent tamorphosis than through the purification process."
To his estimates, most normal practitioners would need about a couple of hundred thousand gold marks worth of pure crystals to complete the purification which could compete against a gold ranker's body.
However, as a third of the way through the purification process, most practitioners already beco gold rankers through the boosted cycling speed. Well, in a way, spirit arts are the way to refine the body so that it can store more Qi. In that way, most of it made sense.
What didn't make sense was his disciple.
Xiaolin nodded as she considered his world. "However, that is not the case with ?" she could detect it, but wasn't absolutely sure.
"Exactly," Gale agreed. "From what I'm seeing, pure crystals act more as a catalyst for purification for you compared to boosting cultivation speed. It is roughly ten tis more relevant in your case compared with other people."
"That ans if I were to intake more pure crystals--" Xiaolin began, but she was cut short by her master shortly.
"Hold your breath, Cupcake."
Gale re-clocked the script in her bracelet and latched it to her wrist yet again. Her health recovered earlier than he assud, but he would still like to take safety asures. The alarm bracelet was one of them.
"Do you want to tear your body apart for quick gains?"
Xiaolin almost nodded, but under her master's gaze of disapproval, she clenched her teeth and shook her head.
Gale clicked his tongue. Apparently, he didn't approve of this way of quick gain. Who would have thought? In his early years, Gale was all about finding quick ways to raise his strength.
"I know all this seed like delicious at before a starving wolf," Gale said, "but I assure you, the at is full of slow-working poison. These short gains will co to bite you in the back, eventually. I'm telling you this from my experience."
"Master, you said most poisons don't work on ," Xiaolin couldn't help but add.
"We'll see about that when you recover completely until that you'll do no such thing to even think about those things."
"Yes, master," Xiaolin said in a completely spiritless tone, slumping her shoulder.
Gale laughed. At least she was showing so expression, other than always looking at him with the expression of worship. Well, as they were growing familiar with one another, she was loosening up her personality. Now she didn't act all reserved and respectful all the ti, though she would need to lose a lot of her reserved personality.
"Your body has been through a lot of stress these past few days," Gale said. "We should do sothing to rectify that."
"What do you have in mind?"
"Acupuncture should co first," Gale said. "Unfortunately, I'm not skilful in that area."
"Acupuncture?" Xiaolin humd. "Grandma can do it. She put through that a couple of years ago." Xiaolin didn't have a good mory of that.
"Great, that settles it then. We'll leave for the town in a couple of days.
