Looking at the bubbling dicinal bath, Qin Tian's nerves were on edge.
At this mont, he felt as if his whole body was being lted by fire, becoming extrely sensitive. Even his breathing seed magnified dozens of tis. With each inhale and exhale, the atmosphere around him began to revolve, and the bath he was in started to spin.
"I have to keep chanting the mnemonic!"
Rembering Yun nghan's earlier instructions to him, Qin Tian imdiately focused with all his might to continue chanting the mysterious mnemonic from the "Cultivation Immortality Basic Manual".
Now, Qin Tian finally understood the true aning of Yun nghan's words, "You will know what cultivation is."
As Qin Tian chanted the cultivation mnemonic, he noticed that his Dantian Qi Sea was swelling, whether due to the dicinal soak or the elixir Yun nghan had given him!
"Damn, there is unexpectedly so much Spiritual Energy inside
that hasn't been refined, wandering through various parts and organs of my body!"
With the cultivation mnemonic in motion, Qin Tian distinctly felt his Sensing Power strengthen, and he could "see" the state within his Dantian Qi Sea clearly.
At this point, the Spiritual Energy roaming outside his body transford into strands of True Qi as if lted by intense fire, gradually converging into his Dantian Qi Sea.
Qin Tian knew what this ant and was utterly ecstatic.
He held his breath and concentrated, continuing to chant the mnemonic, thinking, bring on more True Qi!
After about two hours, Qin Tian felt the temperature of his body decrease, and the stream-like True Qi flowing into his Dantian Qi Sea gradually ceased.
At this ti, Qin Tian felt utterly exhausted, completely relaxing as he leaned against the edge of the bath, closing his eyes to rest.
"Hey! Qin Tian! Wake up!"
"Lazybones!"
"Wake up!"
"A beauty is here!"
After who knows how long, Qin Tian vaguely heard soone speaking near his ear. Exhausted, he opened his heavy eyes.
Standing beside the bath were Yun nghan and Xiao Chan.
Xiao Chan said to Yun nghan, "Miss, see, I called to him and got no response, but the minute I ntioned a beauty, he woke right up. Just how much of a lecher is he?"
Hearing this, Yun nghan chuckled softly, but her gaze rested on Qin Tian.
"Oh, co on, Xiao Chan, seriously? If you're going to accuse , at least co up with a better reason."
Qin Tian, bare-chested, leaned wearily against the edge of the bath, looking at Yun nghan and Xiao Chan in the twilight: "You say I'm the lecher, yet aren't you the ones who barged in while I'm bathing, clothes all off, trying to take advantage of ? Who's the real flirt here?"
"Haha, you really have a way with words."
Yun nghan smiled slightly and said, "Not to ntion you're sitting in the bath, Qin Tian. I already saw you standing by the stream, rember?"
"Oh, right, you already saw everything then. How embarrassing."
Qin Tian put on a coy expression.
Seeing a grown man act like a bashful young woman imdiately made Yun nghan and Xiao Chan burst into laughter.
"It's already seven in the evening. From the look of your complexion, you should have finished absorbing the cultivation energy. Get up and have dinner."
With that, Yun nghan and Xiao Chan left the room.
Qin Tian responded with a "Got it," and was about to stand up from the bath.
But the mont he exerted force, he instantly felt weak, and with a crash, his attempt to stand ended with him collapsing!
The so-called "boiled frog in warm water" is precisely this reasoning.
Sitting in a warm bath for nearly five hours, when Qin Tian stood up abruptly, his legs went numb, leaving him entirely without strength.
Crash!
Not only did Qin Tian fall, but, caught off guard, his weight heavily impacted the wooden bath's edge, directly smashing it, spilling dicinal liquid all over the ground.
Upon hearing the commotion, Yun nghan and Xiao Chan imdiately returned.
And there it was; as the two won stepped back into the small wooden cabin, the first sight they saw was Qin Tian sitting innocently amidst the ruins of the bath, its edge smashed, with him now fully exposed before their eyes!
"Oh my!"
While Yun nghan remained composed, Xiao Chan scread, hurriedly covering her eyes with her hands, yelling: "Qin Tian, are you being lewd? I'm still a minor!"
Minor...
Damn it!
Qin Tian was at his wit's end, feeling utterly wronged, almost infuriated by this sharp-tongued girl!
Shaking his head, he calmly pulled his nearby clothes over, covering his private parts, and said to Xiao Chan: "Little girl, you'd better leave before I lose my temper. If I do, you'll be sorry."
"Hmph! Leaving it is, do you think I'm afraid of a re worm you have!"
Xiao Chan stuck her tongue out at Qin Tian, pouting as she left.
Qin Tian was speechless, damn it, a worm? Mine's an eel! A big eel! Think you can handle that?
Seeing Xiao Chan leave, Yun nghan chuckled lightly and said, "Get dressed quickly and co out for dinner. We need to discuss compensation for the bath you broke."
"What? Compensation? Oh co on!"
Watching Yun nghan walk out, Qin Tian quickly dressed himself hastily. By now, Yun nghan and Xiao Chan were already seated at the simple yet clean dining table in the main room, waiting for him.
On the table were three dishes and a soup, all vegetarian, a very simple dinner.
After Qin Tian sat down, the three began to eat.
Yun nghan spoke: "Qin Tian, this is my only bath, which you have now broken. What do you suggest we do to compensate for our loss?"
Qin Tian put down his chopsticks, about to speak when Xiao Chan giggled and interjected: "I think he should give us another vial of his blood as paynt."
Blood?
Co on!
Do you really think I'm so blood donor? I've already bled enough today!
Seeing Xiao Chan and Yun nghan exchanging amused glances, Qin Tian sighed, then said: "Alas, to think all of Qin Tian's lifelong reputation would be ruined by you two, what a cri!"
With that, Qin Tian stated very seriously: "You want more of my blood? Hmph, that's impossible. Since I broke your bath, I'll take responsibility and fix it for you."
"And if you can't fix it?" Yun nghan asked with a smile.
Qin Tian smirked: "If I can't fix it, I'll make you a new bath! Is that enough? Hmph, I've been a carpenter since I was three, and a little bath like this doesn't stump ."
"You said it yourself. We'll let you off tonight, but by noon tomorrow, we need a perfectly intact bath. Can you manage that, Mr. Carpentry Prodigy?"
Yun nghan and Xiao Chan chuckled softly, clearly not believing Qin Tian could handle carpentry, especially here, where outside a knife, there wasn't even a rope. How could Qin Tian possibly bind a bath together?
