After dinner, Qin Yiyao carried the dicinal mud and headed to her room.
She heated a bucket of water, added bath salts and petals, then poured the dicinal mud into the tub. Using her inner breath, she catalyzed the mixture, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the water turned a reddish-brown, emitting a rich dicinal aroma.
Just the scent made her muscles feel taut.
She wondered what herbs were used to make this dicinal mud.
But the effects must be excellent.
When the ti was right, Qin Yiyao undressed and entered the bath.
Her figure was exquisite, her skin smooth and white like a peeled egg.
Qin Yiyao closed her eyes in comfort, slowly imrsing herself. Her cheeks flushed with a rosy hue as she practiced the breathing techniques taught in the "Body" book. The dicinal power flowed through her limbs, refining her organs and cleansing her ridians, bringing a slight tingling sensation.
This was purging impurities and strengthening her physique.
Unconsciously, she fell asleep in the tub.
A night passed.
At dawn, Qin Yiyao opened her eyes, feeling refreshed and invigorated.
As she stepped out of the tub, she clenched her fist, her bones cracking with a sound like pure brute force coursing through her arms. Just as she marveled at her body's newfound strength, she opened her mouth slightly and heard herself exhale a breath tinged with a dragon's roar!
Qin Yiyao was even more astonished.
Support us at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.
Because she had inadvertently released a faint dragon's breath!
She quickly checked her dantian and discovered a thin strand of ancient dragon energy swirling within!
After a night in the dicinal bath, how did she end up with dragon energy inside her...
What exactly was in the dicinal mud Gu Heng gave her??
Qin Yiyao changed into a new dress, took her clothes from the previous day to the backyard for washing—ever since Gu Heng lightly scolded her for leaving clothes scattered after bathing, she had developed the habit.
In the backyard of the dicine Hall, Qin Yiyao placed her clothes in a wooden tub.
Then she drew her sword and perford a few sword flowers.
Her agility had improved significantly.
After a night in the dicinal bath, it seed that so of the suppressed power within her had been unlocked, allowing her to leap from the second level of Foundation Establishnt to the tenth!
Reincarnating with this body had its advantages.
Her cultivation would progress rapidly... To others, her talent might seem monstrous, but in truth, it was the "benefit" of dying and being reborn... As for the price, Qin Yiyao had felt it for a long ti.
Living as a mortal was not easy.
"Yiyao, good morning."
At that mont, Gu Heng's voice ca from outside.
Qin Yiyao paused and turned to look at him.
Today, Gu Heng wore a moon-white robe, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, the cuffs and collar embroidered with bamboo leaf patterns.
"…Even the master knows how to dress well. I thought you only wore coarse cloth."
She rolled her eyes.
"Your master knows how to dress up."
Gu Heng approached calmly, patting the small braid on Qin Yiyao's head.
He accepted the teasing from this little girl. After all, there was a ti when his pockets were empty, and buying clothes, let alone food, was a problem. Now that he had money, he could afford to think about other things.
"By the way, what exactly is in the dicinal bath, Master?"
Qin Yiyao couldn't help but ask again.
She was eager to know what herbs had given her the dragon energy.
"That dicinal mud is my exclusive formula, so it's a secret."
Gu Heng replied with a mysterious smile.
But he could feel that Qin Yiyao's physique had beco sturdier.
The dicinal mud was indeed effective. It seed he needed to prepare more, giving it to her weekly to help stabilize her inner strength with appropriate external assistance.
"A secret… but I'm your disciple."
Qin Yiyao pouted.
"It's been less than a month. Let's talk about it in a year or two."
Gu Heng nodded, ruffling Qin Yiyao's hair before leaving.
Qin Yiyao stood there, dazed for a long ti.
…
In the afternoon, Qin Yiyao took a new batch of Golden Spirit Liquid (before dilution) to the Golden Phoenix Treasure Hall for delivery.
Gu Heng continued to mind the shop.
And surprisingly, not a single patient ca in that morning.
In the past, Gu Heng would have been worried sick, but now he didn't care.
He was wealthy now!
He rarely left the dicine Hall because he had stocked up on a month's worth of cooking ingredients, and he used the "Original Mysterious Ice Pearl" gifted by the system to create a small ice cellar in the backyard, serving as a refrigerator.
Gu Heng heard that the Golden Spirit Liquid was selling well.
Cloud Spirit City was large, and the Golden Phoenix Treasure Hall was reputable, so even new dicines sold quickly, sotis selling out.
But in the South of Cloud Spirit City, news seed particularly scarce. No neighbors were known to have bought the Golden Spirit Liquid... But if no one was coming for treatnt, it might an they had bought the liquid to keep on hand, drinking a bottle when feeling unwell.
Then minor ailnts would disappear, eliminating the need for a doctor.
"…Forget it, I'll just close the shop today. After all, I'm rich now; I could just retire as a wealthy man."
After sitting in the front hall for several hours, nearly growing moss on his head and feeling his body stiffen, Gu Heng decided not to continue running the shop and planned to do sothing else.
"Well, never mind that. I'll make so more dicinal mud for the little girl."
He returned to the back room, taking out the "Universe Purple Gold Furnace," which was neither purple, gold, nor universal.
Gu Heng summoned the system panel, opened the "mall" section, and selected "Many-Bearded Ginseng," "Black Lingzhi," and other herbs from the "herbs" category—these were needed to make the brown dicinal mud, but the truly important ones were not these.
Scrolling down, there were so special "herbs."
The first was a dried heart, from so unknown beast, definitely not human.
The system labeled this "herb" with unusual simplicity: a dried heart.
Having been worn down by the system's word gas, Gu Heng rarely found the system straightforward, not giving it so grandiose na like "Dried Heart of a Giant Dragon"...
And this "dried heart" was the main ingredient in his dicinal mud.
According to the system, its effect was "to strengthen the body when used in dicine."
The results proved it worked well!
Everyone who used it praised it.
At least Qin Yiyao showed visible changes.
"Is anyone here?"
Just as Gu Heng prepared the ingredients and was about to start the furnace, a voice suddenly ca from outside.
A custor?
Gu Heng wiped his hands and went to the front courtyard, where he saw two people and two boxes.
