Shao Xin revised Dai Mubai's prescription three times in total.
The first version reduced the dosage from Ma Hongjun's prescription: four qian of Bone-Tempering Grass, five qian of Blood-Activating Vine, and one qian of Spirit-Focusing Flower.
Dai Mubai soaked in it for three days. The results were good, but Shao Xin felt it was not enough.
He carefully observed Dai Mubai's condition after the medicinal baths—moderate soreness in the bones, unobstructed meridians, a stable mind. Everything was within expectations.
But precisely because everything was within expectations, Shao Xin felt that the prescription was too conservative for Dai Mubai.
"His Martial Soul is the White Tiger, one of the very best among beast Martial Souls. Beast Martial Souls depend far more on the body than tool Martial Souls do, and the White Tiger places greater demands on the bones and muscles than the Evil Fire Phoenix. His prescription can be more aggressive."
Shao Xin increased the Bone-Tempering Grass from four qian to five, the Blood-Activating Vine from five qian to seven, while keeping the Spirit-Focusing Flower at one qian.
Dai Mubai used the second version of the prescription for three days.
The soreness from the Bone-Tempering Grass surged up from deep within his bones, far more intense than with the first version, yet it still did not become stabbing pain.
For the third version, Shao Xin increased the Bone-Tempering Grass to six qian—the same amount Ma Hongjun used.
The Blood-Activating Vine was increased to one liang, while the Spirit-Focusing Flower was increased to one and a half qian.
The first time Dai Mubai used the third version, he sat in the bath barrel for a quarter of an hour. When he emerged, his legs went weak, and he had to brace himself against the wall for quite a while.
"Too strong?"
