536. Scallion-Oil Song Shuhang

As Song Shuhang continued to soak in the medicinal bath inside the Golden Coffin, he felt the medicinal power of the bath becoming stronger and stronger, and his body even felt a burning pain.

A burning pain... something feels off.

"However, the speed at which my physique is improving has clearly increased a lot. Perhaps now is the time when the medicine is truly taking effect?" Song Shuhang thought to himself.

Previously, Song Shuhang's physique increased by about 0.1 every three minutes, but now it increases by about 0.2 every three minutes, doubling the rate of improvement.

The Medicine Master's herbal bath recipe is truly amazing!

Thinking this, Song Shuhang immersed himself in the medicinal liquid.

Ah~~ Just thinking about my physique improving like a rocket makes this burning pain seem bearable...

How can I tolerate this?!

At first, it was just a burning pain, but instead of subsiding, the pain intensified. Now, it feels like being cut with a knife.

While soaking in the medicinal solution, it felt as if a thousand knives were cutting my body, as if my flesh had been shattered and my body had been torn to pieces.

"It hurts, it hurts... Ouch!" Song Shuhang rolled around at the bottom of the Golden Coffin in pain.

I'm nearing my limit. This pain is comparable to the agony I felt when I first encountered 'Chu Chu' in my Dream Entry and suffered that 'Embracing Sister Kill' attack.

Fortunately, the more intense the pain, the greater the increase in physical strength.

When Shuhang felt as if his whole body was being cut by knives, his physical strength was increasing by 0.3 every three minutes.

The medicinal bath liquid Golden Coffin had somehow turned a deep emerald green. The liquid emitted a glow, illuminating the Golden Coffin.

Outside the coffin, the fire still raged fiercely.

Inside the coffin, the aroma of the medicinal liquid grew stronger... Even though he wasn't breathing, Song Shuhang could still smell a faint fragrance in his mouth and nose.

The lingering aroma is so enticing that it makes your mouth water, just like the aroma of 'stir-fried mutton with scallions'.

Wait, that smells like scallions!

Could it be because of Onion Lady? Her entire onion body, along with the medicinal herbs, has been incorporated into this medicinal bath liquid. It's as if the 'Medicine Master' senior's medicinal bath formula has been supplemented with the Onion Spirit that is several hundred years old.

So, what caused the mutation in the medicinal bath?

This possibility is almost certain.

"Won't something go wrong?" Song Shuhang was a little worried... However, apart from the excruciating pain of his body being torn apart, he had no other problems for the time being.

On the contrary, their physical condition improved even faster.

Let's hold on a little longer and see. If anything unexpected happens, we'll immediately call for Senior Six Cultivations outside.

As Song Shuhang pondered, the medicinal liquid in the Golden Coffin changed again.

The emerald green liquid gradually transformed into a golden-green hue. In the misty air, the faint silhouette of a scallion sprout emerged, swaying gracefully in the breeze.

Gradually, the illusory image of the scallion sprouts became more and more solid, almost like a real thing.

After solidifying to a certain extent, the illusory image of the scallion slowly floated towards Song Shuhang, eventually stopping an arm's length away from him.

Using the light from the medicinal liquid itself, Song Shuhang saw the illusory image of the scallion sprout.

[It's certain now; the changes in the medicinal bath are indeed related to Onion Lady.] Song Shuhang reached out, wanting to touch the illusory image of the onion sprout.

However, the phantom had no substance, and Shuhang's fingers passed through it but could not touch it.

Although the phantom was intangible, the pain in Song Shuhang's body disappeared instantly after it solidified!

That excruciating pain, like being torn apart by a thousand knives, was gone in an instant!

What followed was the pleasant sensation of the medicinal liquid washing over the body. The rate at which physical fitness improved only increased.

Now, physical fitness can be improved by more than 0.1 per minute.

"Is the period of intense pain finally over?"

Perhaps because he had endured excruciating pain before, accumulating a great deal of fatigue, Song Shuhang unconsciously drifted into a semi-sleep state after the pain subsided and transformed into a feeling of comfort.

He lay motionless, letting his body be washed by the medicine, his consciousness gradually becoming isolated from the outside world.

************************

One hour and fifty-five minutes later, the medicinal bath was nearing its end.

Song Shuhang woke up from his semi-sleep state.

At this moment, the medicinal liquid in the Golden Coffin had turned blackish-green, a result of Song Shuhang's body absorbing all the medicinal power.

In nearly two hours, Song Shuhang's physical condition increased by a full 13 points.

He originally possessed a constitution of over 230, to be precise, around 232. Now, with the addition of these 13 points, his constitution has suddenly reached around 245.

Having acquired a sufficiently strong physique, the true energy in his Qi Sea Dantian calmed down once again.

At this moment, Song Shuhang was still only at the Second-Grade, Second Dantian, the 'Dragon Tail Dantian'. However, thanks to Venerable White's 'Qi Storage and Essence Expansion Method' and the recent series of events that caused a surge in true qi, in terms of the amount of true qi alone, he was now comparable to a cultivator at the Second-Grade, Fourth Dragon Body Dantian!

The stinging sensation of spiritual energy between my brows has almost disappeared.

"My physique has improved so much in one go... If this is the case, after I nurture the true qi in my Qi Sea Dantian a few more times, I might be able to break through to the Third Dantian [Dragon Claw Dantian]."

Now that my physical condition has improved, it is imperative to open up a new Dantian in order to avoid accidentally bursting my Dantian with my true qi.

The more the Dantian is opened up, the more true qi the body can hold.

This time, perhaps I really should thank Onion Lady? Hmm, perhaps she won't accept my thanks... After all, her entire body melted into the medicinal liquid.

"It's about time to get out of the medicinal bath." Song Shuhang slowly sat up. With the light emitted by the medicinal liquid itself, he could see the faint shadow of the scallion seedling in the mist.

The illusory image of the scallion sprouts hasn't dissipated yet?

Could it be that he hasn't fully absorbed all the medicinal power from Onion Lady's bath?

Just then, a thought kept being transmitted to Song Shuhang by Spirit Ghost within his Heart Aperture.

Shuhang was slightly taken aback, then agreed, "Okay."

The next moment, the smaller version of Song Shuhang emerged from his Heart Aperture and darted in front of the illusory scallion seedling. He opened his mouth and, with a 'gulp,' swallowed the illusory scallion seedling whole!

After swallowing the illusory image of the scallion sprout, the Spirit Ghost contentedly shrank back into Song Shuhang's body.

Song Shuhang touched his body; after swallowing the illusory image of the scallion sprout, he experienced no adverse reactions.

Clang clang clang~~

At this moment, the lid of the Golden Coffin was opened by the girl Six Cultivations.

Her golden eyes gazed at Song Shuhang in the coffin. "It's over. Come out, Fellow Song One!"

"Hmm, this medicinal liquid smells delicious. It reminds me of scallion pancakes that I haven't had in a long time," Four Cultivations suddenly said.

Six Cultivations pinched his smooth chin, blinked, and said seriously, "Scallion-Oil Song One? Or Scallion-Oil Song Shuhang?"
