Crack, crackle!
A dense series of soft bone pops, like beans frying in a pan, came from inside his body. He felt several degrees lighter all over. His muscles and tendons, which had grown somewhat tight from long-term training, were now filled with elasticity and vitality, as if invisible shackles had been cast off. Beneath his skin, a faint, warm luster seemed to flow.
Feeling the blood and qi within him become clearly purer and more active, as well as the connection to his martial soul, "Body," seeming to grow another fraction clearer, Situ Xuan knew that this first medicinal bath body tempering had succeeded!
Although there was still a long way to go before "First Turn Tendon Cleansing" reached perfection, this solid first step had already been taken.
He dried himself, changed into clothes, and looked at the sky outside the window, already turning pale. He felt no fatigue at all. Instead, he was brimming with energy.
"According to the cultivation method, the medicinal bath must be maintained consistently, combined with the guiding movements and breathing method of the Cloud Body Nine Turns, for the fastest results." He murmured to himself, his eyes burning with a desire for strength. "I can't slack off."
He did not rest. Instead, right there in the cramped space of the dormitory, he assumed the first of the twelve guiding movements recorded in Volume Three of the Immortal Wind Cloud Body Technique, used for "First Turn Tendon Cleansing."
The movement looked simple, but it placed extremely high demands on the stretching and coordination of the tendons and bones. Situ Xuan completed it with meticulous care, coordinating it with the unique breathing, feeling his muscles and tendons being further stretched and strengthened under the nourishment of the remaining medicinal power.
