Chapter 49: Advanced Medicinal Bath, Great Progress

Outside the pharmacy, Xie Yuan bowed to the man in green clothes, a small hat, and a white cloth mask.

"Brother Lu, I'll lead the advanced medicinal bath."

Inside was the second senior brother of Tieyi Sect, the second direct disciple of Monk Liu, and Lu Hong, who was in charge of the pharmacy.

Although Lu Hong is also a martial artist, he seems to prefer studying medicine. He is a full-time pharmacist and doctor in the martial arts hall. Most of the formulas for medicinal baths and supplements are developed by him.

At this moment, he looked at Xie Yuan with approval in his eyes. He was always serious and didn't like to interact with others, but he rarely praised him:
"Thank you, Junior Brother, for your extraordinary talent and for helping the martial arts school out of danger. I am grateful to you.

"I've added some ingredients to this advanced medicinal bath recipe. The effect is better than the ordinary one. Go ahead."

Lu Hong was in charge of the pharmacy, and he knew very well how great the impact would be if the martial arts school's share in the pharmacy was reduced or even taken away.

Taking the wooden sign from Lu Hong, Xie Yuan clasped his fists:

"Thank you, Senior Brother Lu!"

There are so many nice people inside the door!

Made a contribution and was surrounded by good people.

Xie Yuan followed the sign in his hand and found the cubicle deep inside the bathroom.

A servant had been waiting there. When he saw him coming, he quickly added water to mix the medicine and filled the wooden barrel with the black liquid medicine.

After Xie Yuan and the others left, he couldn't wait to take off all his clothes, took a look at the steaming medicinal bath liquid, and stepped in carefully, not wanting any of it to splash or waste.

A bucket weighs twenty taels, and any spillage would amount to a few cents!

"Advanced potion, um, let me see what's going on...Ah!"

Xie Yuan let out a strange cry and felt his skin suddenly become as hot as if it had been sprinkled with boiling water!

Although the liquid medicine was hot, it was far from this temperature. It was due to the effect of the medicine. The effect of the advanced medicinal bath was too strong. As soon as he entered the bucket, the medicine began to take effect!
Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Xie Yuan's forehead and rolled down.

The drug is so potent that it feels like my skin is soaked through and is constantly changing under the effects of the drug, almost visible to the naked eye... It also feels like I'm being boiled in a pot, and my skin is about to be cooked through...

Shit, what on earth did Senior Brother Lu add? Seasoning?

Xie Yuan subconsciously used his blood and energy to cover his entire body, and indeed he felt much better; and in this way, the blood and the medicinal liquid alternately tempered his skin, and the progress of the iron shirt was visible before his eyes, growing rapidly upwards.

However, at his current state, his blood and energy were still very thin. Even if all of it was mobilized, it could not cover the entire body, and it consumed a great deal of energy, and his blood and energy were fading away before his eyes.

“No wonder I didn’t remind you to use blood and energy to train your skin. Although both the experience and the effect are better, I don’t have the reserves at this stage.

"However, if you don't have enough blood and energy, you can use internal energy to make up for it!"

Xie Yuan suddenly had an idea and mobilized his internal energy to continuously flow through his meridians. Last time, he discovered that although his internal energy could not penetrate the epidermis, it still gave off a slight coolness wherever it passed, effectively alleviating the discomfort.

Lu Hong's reason for adding ingredients is simple, the stronger the medicine, the better the effect. As for how long it will last... few people can fully utilize the medicinal properties of the bath anyway. Giving Xie Yuan the maximum medicinal properties in a limited time is the simple intention of his senior brother.

But Xie Yuan was different. With the help of his internal energy, he could directly use his internal energy in the wooden barrel. The boiling hot medicine liquid seemed to turn into clear spring water and was no longer unbearable.

The increase in progress figures indicates the passage of time.

When the liquid medicine in the wooden barrel became clear again, Xie Yuan stood up, his skin as red as a shrimp.

[Iron Shirt·Third Level: (907/1000)]

More than two hundred points!

One medicinal bath is more than one-fifth of the progress!
Xie Yuan clenched his fist excitedly.

It is worthy of being a medicinal bath worth twenty taels!
Especially when he thought that he got these twenty taels for free...Xie Yuan became even happier.

Although the price of advanced medicinal bath is four times that of basic medicinal bath, in theory the effect is not four times, and may not even be twice as good.

The more expensive the item, the smaller the improvement in effect. Many expensive items cost ten times as much as lower-grade items, but their quality may only improve by less than 10%.

Because the quality will be pushed to the limit as time goes by. If you want to go further, the cost of improvement may be several times or even ten times.

However, for Xie Yuan, he had almost fully utilized the medicinal properties of the advanced medicinal bath with added ingredients, which was reflected in his progress, which was more than twice that of the basic medicinal bath!
This wave, make a lot of money!

"The warrior's breakthrough is just around the corner!" Xie Yuan couldn't help but get excited.

Isn’t this the goal we have been working hard for for so long?

He packed everything and couldn't wait to go find Monk Liu.

Find out the method to break through first!

In the study room.

Monk Liu saw Xie Yuan, whose skin was still red, and asked with a smile:
"How does it feel?"

“Better than ever!”

Xie Yuan bowed.

"Haha, that's good. The advanced medicinal bath is precious, but you deserve it. Well, come see me as soon as you finish the medicinal bath, but do you have any questions?"

Xie Yuan thought for a moment and said:

"Master, the friction between Lin Tao and I stems from the last medicinal bath..."

He told the whole story.

Although Monk Liu stood on his side without asking the reason, it was no small matter to expel a core disciple who had practiced for many years.

Although Monk Liu didn't say anything, he had made a choice in his heart. Xie Yuan didn't want this to become a big deal, so he took the initiative to explain it to show that it was not his fault.

"That's how it is. Master can find Xu Yang to confront him. And many of our fellow disciples witnessed their coming and going that day. If I say anything false, I will be punished by Master."

Xie Yuan said in a sonorous and powerful voice.

Monk Liu listened and sighed:
"I understand. Xie Yuan, you have to know that even if it's not his fault, I will still treat you well because you have made such a great contribution."

"Thank you, Master. However, I am not the kind of person who would bully others by taking advantage of my power, so I need to explain everything to you, Master."

"Okay, okay! No need to confront each other. I didn't misjudge you, and I didn't drive Lin Tao away wrongly."

Monk Liu praised Xie Yuan repeatedly and felt that Xie Yuan was a promising talent.

It is a pity that such an outstanding disciple has only a small temple.

He shook his fat head and asked in a gentle voice:
"Are you here just for this?"

"Well, there is also the matter of asking Master for the method of training the skin to break through the barrier and achieve great success with one practice."

Xie Yuan bowed.

Monk Liu was surprised and said:

"Are you about to break through?"

It seemed like there was still a lot of room for improvement before. Even though his punches and kicks were indeed exceptional... he couldn't be that fast.

Our own advanced medicinal bath is not a secret medicine, it is the advancement of the basic medicinal bath, not the advancement of the realm of the technique! If you can advance by taking a bath once, then what is the Iron Clothes Sect afraid of the Divine Weapon Hall and the Black Tiger Fist Hall? They have already fought to Yunzhao County.

"Not even close."

Xie Yuan is a pragmatic person.

When Monk Liu heard this, he just thought that the young man was too embarrassed to admit his mistake and was exaggerating.

"Okay, I'll find my own thoughts for you to see."

He chuckled, said nothing more, and stood up to look for the book on the bookshelf.

Xie Yuan looked at Monk Liu rummaging through a pile of books with great anticipation.

Suddenly, his attention was drawn to a white booklet with gold edges, and his eyes fixed slightly.

There seems to be a bald head painted on it... No, is it an arhat?
