Cultivation Online-Chapter 577 - Sharing The Bathtub

Chapter 577 - Sharing The Bathtub

"Y-You can't be blind! You're definitely joking with me!" Li Jinxi said to him after snapping out of her daze, refusing to believe that she'd been fighting with a blind man this entire time.

"I am serious," Yuan said.

He then opened his eyelids with his hands, revealing his blank eyes that lacked any light to her.

Li Jinxi covered her mouth and mumbled, "T-Then how… How are you moving around like you can see? Nobody would believe that you're blind with how you move around and fight!"

"I can use divine sense, allowing me to see things around me, but I can only see a few meters away from me. However, despite the limited range, I can see things clearer than others," he said.

"Divine sense? I think I have heard of that before in Cultivation Online. To think you can use such a technique in this world as well… You're really something else."

'If word gets out that Yuan is actually blind… Who knows how they will react..' Li Jinxi thought to herself.

After a moment of silence, Li Jinxi spoke, "Hey, you're interested in body-tempering, right? Do you want to try it?"

"Huh?"

"I'm asking if you want to try tempering your body. I always have some medicine and herbs prepared. We can do it right now if you wish."

"R-Right now?"

"Yes. Give me a moment." Li Jinxi then got out of the bathtub and walked to the cabinet located at the corner of the room, retrieving a handful of medicines.

She then returned to the bathtub and tossed all of the medicine in the water.

Once the medicine was floating on the water, Li Jinxi went to press a switch that was at the side of the bathtub.

"The water will get a little hot in a minute. If you cannot endure it, let me know," she said to him as she climbed back into the bathtub.

"Once your body starts to feel a little tingly, start cultivating and absorb the medicine. It's going to be a little painful if this is your first time tempering your body."

"Okay." Yuan nodded.

A minute later, when the water reached almost boiling point, the clear water began turning green, and Yuan could feel a slight tingling sensation all over his body.

He immediately started cultivating and absorbing the medicine in the bathtub, as did Li Jinxi.

'This isn't that bad… In fact, the pain is nothing compared to the bath Feng Feng prepared for me…' Yuan thought to himself.

After all, the treasures that Feng Yuxiang had used for his bath were countless times more valuable than the medicine that Li Jinxi used.

"How are you feeling?" Li Jinxi asked him a few minutes later.

"It's manageable," he calmly replied.

"Good. The medicine should last us about half an hour since there are two of us absorbing the medicine."

The next thirty minutes inside the bathroom was completely silent as Yuan and Li Jinxi tempered their bodies in the same bathtub.

Thirty minutes later, Li Jinxi stood up with her pale skin slightly rosy and said, "The medicine is gone, but if you want to temper yourself more, you can simply put more medicine into the bathtub. I will leave first."

"I will also leave." Yuan left the bathroom shortly after Li Jinxi left, changing into the Li Family's clothes that had been provided to him.

"What do you think?" Li Jinxi asked him afterward.

"I don't know… My body doesn't feel any different once I left the bathtub," he said.

"Obviously. You've only tempered your body for a few minutes. If you want to see some real results, you will need to do that for at least a few hours every day. I'm asking how you feel about tempering your body."

"I would do it every day, but acquiring the medicine to do that is a different story. I don't even know where to obtain the medicine," he sighed.

"If you're worried about not having enough resources, you can speak with the Hong Family. They're the ones who provide us with our medicine. They should also have the solution to your problem." Li Jinxi said to him.

"Okay. I will visit them when I have the chance."

They reunited with the others a few minutes later.

"Where did you go? It's been almost an hour since you went to clean yourself!" Senior Li asked Li Jinxi.

"Yuan seemed interested in tempering his body, so I showed him how to do it, and we ended up tempering our body together." Li Jinxi responded in a casual manner.

"Huh?" Senior Li raised his eyebrows at his granddaughter.

"Y-You what?" Wang Ming looked at them with her eyes wide open.

"D-Does this mean you shared the same bathtub?" He proceeded to ask them.

"Yes, we did." Li Jinxi responded in a nonchalant manner.

The room immediately turned dead silent with everyone there too speechless to respond.

As for Meixiu, although she was surprised to learn that Yuan had shared a bathtub with Li Jinxi, she wasn't worried that they might have done something naughty, as Yuan wasn't the type to do something like that, nor does he have the knowledge to do so.

'Sharing the same bathtub… Even I haven't done that with Brother Yuan!' Chu Liuxiang cried inwardly.

"A-Anyways… What are your plans now, Daoist Yuan? We still have a few hours before it gets dark outside. Do you want to look at the treasures now?" Senior Li asked after snapping out of his daze, trying to change the topic to something else.

Yuan nodded and said, "Of course, and I'd like to visit the Hong Family after looking at the treasures."

"The Hong Family? May I ask what business you have with them? Perhaps I can help you."

"It's about getting medicine to temper my body.. Although I would like to start tempering my body, I don't know where to acquire the medicine to do so, and Li Jinxi told me to visit the Hong Family," he explained.
