Chapter 1485: Chapter 1482: Peak Cultivation

Chen Tianlong let out a wry smile, seeing the old man’s surprised expression, he knew what he was thinking.

However, Wu Wuji was only surprised for a few seconds before he immediately went over to check the situation. Finding no unusual reaction, he knew it was due to Chen Tianlong’s physique, there should be no problem.

If the physique was problematic, a situation would arise immediately upon entry. The potency of these Nine-Turns Bone Reviving Pills is so strong; don’t be fooled by their ordinary appearance; the moment they were thrown into the water, they started to churn. This shows that the medicinal properties are extraordinarily potent, as they are essentially Divine Medicine.

Previously, Chen Tianlong saw the pirate captain on the South Sea Immortal Island who had consumed it.

Actually, Wu Wuji wasn’t very clear, just heard about it. The true usage of the Nine-Turns Bone Reviving Pill is for bathing, but he wasn’t sure if it could be ingested. However, judging from the situations after the pirate captain consumed it, there seemed to be some effect, but the most obvious result came from bathing, which was the experience of predecessors.

"So, old man, how long should I soak in here?"

Once Chen Tianlong entered, he felt a chill all over his body, and sensed that he might catch a cold if this continued.

"Uh, not much, just two days and nights. You just stay in there; I’ll come over to bring you food at meal times. But warning you, kid, don’t come out, otherwise previous efforts will be wasted, and various problems might arise in your body. Haha, you might as well try if you want."

Wu Wuji was pretty cheerful when he said the second half, as he thought no one would be dumb enough to dare take such dangerous risks.

Chen Tianlong felt speechless after hearing the old man’s words; he didn’t know if this was intentional or genuine, so he dared not make reckless moves, just sat there dazedly.

"Old man, this water is so cold! You’re telling me to stay for two days and nights; won’t I freeze to death?"

Chen Tianlong felt annoyed. If the water was warm, sleeping for a day or two might be nice, but the key was this water was bone-chilling cold. Enduring for one or two hours was barely possible, much less two days and nights, which would surely be the end of him.

"Uh, it’s cold, is it? It’ll warm up later."

Wu Wuji’s face had a sly smile, then he squatted down behind Chen Tianlong.

It turned out that there was a small furnace on the other side of the bathtub, but the bathtub was quite large, so he hadn’t noticed it at first.

Soon, the old man started up the furnace, and the firewood was obviously prepared by him carefully, not ordinary ones. The flame had a somewhat eerie green color, and whether the temperature was high was unknown, but a few pieces of wood could burn for a whole day.

A few minutes later, Chen Tianlong felt the water gradually warming up, his body became much more comfortable, and he felt sudden joy.

"Wow, that’s so comfortable, old man, what did you do?" Chen Tianlong also saw something under the bathtub, but he didn’t dare stand up, so he curiously asked.

"Uh, it’s nothing, just placed a fire furnace under your bathtub." Wu Wuji said with a slight twitch of his lips.

"What? A furnace? Old man, are you trying to cook me?"

Chen Tianlong jumped in shock after hearing this, hurriedly asking.

"Haha, how could I bear to cook you? You’re so amusing. I’m so lonely all by myself, if you die, I would die from loneliness; I wouldn’t do such a foolish thing. Alright, I’m going now. Remember not to come out, this is a necessary process for refining; hold on."

In the last sentence, Wu Wuji was very serious, and Chen Tianlong could see it was genuine, not trying to fool him.

"Uh, got it."

Chen Tianlong began to be obedient, laying back in the bathtub, observing the blue sky, and white clouds, and immediately felt a sense of incomparable ease.

After Wu Wuji left, the water in the bathtub gradually heated up, and Chen Tianlong slowly felt the water transition from warm to hot, then scalding.

In less than an hour, the water started boiling hot, and Chen Tianlong felt extremely uncomfortable, as if being burned, but the old man had instructed countless times not to exit by any means, or all efforts would go to waste.

Chen Tianlong activated the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique, using Powerful Qi to protect his Heart Meridian, enduring the pain. He believed the old man wouldn’t harm him; once body refinement was complete, all pains should disappear.

Thus, time flew by quickly, and before he knew it, it was evening.

By this time, Chen Tianlong had been boiled like a lobster, yet he gradually became accustomed to it. Even though his whole body was reddish, it seemed not hot anymore, perhaps because he got used to it as he cooked.

Wu Wuji came over with food, seeing Chen Tianlong’s completely red body, he nodded in satisfaction, saying: "Kid, not bad. Your complexion is rosy and full of luster; come, come, here’s some food for you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Tianlong felt speechless all at once; you try it yourself and see if you still want a rosy complexion, almost being cooked alive.

However, having sat for most of the day, Chen Tianlong was also hungry, disregarding much and directly began to gobble the food. Wu Wuji, watching Chen Tianlong like this, laughed heartily.

In just a few minutes, Chen Tianlong had gobbled down all the food delivered to him.

Wu Wuji collected the utensils, smiled slightly, turned around to leave, but suddenly turned back after a few steps, saying: "It might get much colder at night, remember not to run out, or you might suffer body explosion."

"Ah? Body explosion?"

Chen Tianlong jumped in shock; he didn’t know how much of the old man’s words could be believed, but he better err on the side of caution, otherwise, if things really went as the old man said, he’d be doomed, living up to the saying, never ignore the words of elders lest you suffer losses.

"Well, whether you believe it or not, I’m done talking. I need to go back and train now. See you tomorrow." After Wu Wuji finished speaking, he quickly disappeared with the utensils.

Chen Tianlong let out a long sigh, having had enough sleep, and directly began meditating to train.

Around eight or nine in the evening, the water slowly began to cool down. From the side, you could still see the stove burning, but why was the water temperature dropping?

The problem lay with the Nine-Turns Bone Reviving Pill. On the first day, its effects would slowly seep into the body and then enhance a certain attribute. Evidently, the previous burning was an enhancement of the Fire Attribute physique.

Then the upcoming coldness should be the Ice Attribute.

Indeed, not long after, the bathtub began slowly freezing. Chen Tianlong was shocked to see this; he already felt a bone-chilling cold spreading throughout his body.

In an instant, the water in the bathtub turned entirely into ice, and Chen Tianlong couldn’t move at all. He was left with a purple face, goosebumps all over his skin, and his teeth chattering uncontrollably.

This way, Chen Tianlong gritted his teeth, even if he wanted to escape, he couldn’t—he was frozen stiff.

In the blink of an eye, a night passed. Fortunately, Chen Tianlong possessed an exceptionally strong will, otherwise he might have frozen to death.

The warm morning sunlight shone on Chen Tianlong’s icy body. He had been exhausted for a day, evident from his dark circles.

Finally feeling a bit of warmth, he instantly felt how precious warmth was. At the same time, the ice on his body slowly melted, gradually turning into water.

However, Chen Tianlong found that the water had become significantly clearer, and he could vaguely see his exposed lower body. Surprised, he instinctively covered his private parts with his hands. Suddenly realizing he was alone, he decided to let go and lazily bask in the warm sun.

Soon, Wu Wuji appeared again, carrying the same food container, evidently here to deliver food. He glanced at the water in the bathtub, smiled knowingly, and didn’t say anything further. He handed the food container to Chen Tianlong and stood quietly by the side, waiting.

Chen Tianlong was taken aback, finding the old man a bit strange. He usually came with all sorts of criticism, but why was he so calm now?

"Old man, why aren’t you talking?" Chen Tianlong asked while eating.

"Hehe, kid, you’re almost successful. Hang in there."

Wu Wuji, thinking about his limited time left, felt a bit reluctant. However, seeing the talented young man, he still felt his death would be worthwhile, fulfilling a wish.

Upon hearing Wu Wuji’s words, Chen Tianlong seemed to recall something. Was the old man worried that after completing the body refinement, he wouldn’t become his apprentice?

Thinking this was likely, Chen Tianlong stopped eating and said to Wu Wuji beside him, "Old man, don’t worry. Since you’ve been so good to me, I’ve decided to become your apprentice."

Wu Wuji, who was deep in thought, was suddenly overjoyed upon hearing Chen Tianlong’s words, quickly turning around, "Are you really saying this?"

"Of course, why would I lie to you?" Chen Tianlong replied with a slight smile.

"Haha, don’t lie to an old man." Wu Wuji joyfully teased, snatched Chen Tianlong’s food container, and left quickly.

"Hey... old man, I haven’t finished eating yet?"

"Haha, time’s up!"

The old man said, disappearing around the corner of the stone formation, leaving Chen Tianlong with a wry smile. The next day and night seemed to repeat yesterday’s scenario.

In the blink of an eye, two days and nights of body refinement ended, and the water was incomparably clear.

Suddenly, Chen Tianlong’s body underwent an anomaly, as an aura of extreme cold and heat wreaked havoc within him.

It was early morning, and Wu Wuji hadn’t arrived yet, but Chen Tianlong was unbearably uncomfortable. Suddenly, he could no longer endure it, as this pain was a hundred, thousand times worse than the previous two days.

"Boom..."

With a loud explosion, Chen Tianlong shot out from the bathtub, straight up to the sky, while the diamond bathtub, though sturdy, had a crack blown in it by the powerful Qi explosion.

The water inside was flowing noisily.

After Chen Tianlong landed, the pain slowly disappeared. Meanwhile, he discovered that during this explosion, his strength had soared to the Celestial Dao Seven Stars Great Perfection Limit.

Chen Tianlong was immediately overjoyed, not expecting that body refinement could lead to a level up. Had he known, even if the old man didn’t let him refine his body, he would have insisted on doing it.

While Chen Tianlong was happy, suddenly a voice came from behind, "Kid, why did you come out."

Chen Tianlong was taken aback, quickly turned around, and saw Wu Wuji walking over, somewhat surprised. He ignored Chen Tianlong and directly went to the bathtub, bent down, and observed the water inside.

Instantly, he let out a sigh of relief because the remaining water in the bathtub was incredibly clear, meaning all the pills had been absorbed by Chen Tianlong, not leaving a trace.
