This change in Class One attracted everyone's attention, and Xu Zhengyang, who was the initiator of all of this and also the class monitor, received an award from the college.
Inside the dormitory, Xu Zhengyang had two small boxes in his hand. Each box contained two pills, one light blue and the other light green. These two pills were the Mysterious Water Pill and the Soul Ascension Pill.
Xu Zhengyang never expected that leading his class in physical exercise and changing their cultivation methods would earn him such a great reward from the school.
Xu Zhengyang has already taken two Mysterious Water Pill. They can enhance his Innate Soul Power and clear his blocked meridians. For someone like him with only half a level of Innate Soul Power, they are considered top-grade.
The Soul Ascension Pill, on the other hand, is a medicine that can increase Soul Power by one level without any side effects. It is also very useful, and one could even say extremely effective.
It's clear that the academy values me highly, as they've provided such a valuable resource.
"I've already taken two Mysterious Water Pill Mysterious Water Pill, so this one probably won't be of much use to me anymore. As for this Soul Ascension Pill, I'll save it for later research."
"Moreover, after such a long period of research, I have a general understanding of the components of the Mysterious Water Pill, but I still haven't found the crucial Mysterious Water Turtle. Without the nourishing properties of the Mysterious Water Turtle's essence blood, it's impossible to make the Mysterious Water Pill."
However, combining his years of research with his understanding of traditional Chinese medicine from his previous life, Xu Zhengyang has recently developed a good method, but he has never tried it before. Now that he has a Mysterious Water Pill, it might come in handy.
Xu Zhengyang now has an extra bathtub, but this one is much larger than the previous ones, especially in height, as it is half a meter taller, exceeding 1.5 meters in height, and it also has an extra lid.
Below the bathtub is a specially designed device by Xu Zhengyang, used to hold ore for the blacksmith's furnace and to heat the entire bathtub.
Xu Zhengyang placed the prepared medicinal herbs and water into the bathtub. The water was at the bottom, with a height of only about 30 centimeters. Above 30 centimeters, there was a specially made shelf where people could sit.
After igniting the ore below, Xu Zhengyang sat in the center of the bathtub and closed the lid on top of the tub.
From its appearance, the bathtub now looks a bit like a pressure cooker or a steamer, and I am sitting cross-legged in the center of the pressure cooker, with only my head exposed.
As the fire in the stove grew hotter, the specially prepared medicinal liquid began to boil, and its aroma gradually filled the entire bathtub. This aroma carried a unique medicinal fragrance, which, judging from the scent, was somewhat similar to that of the Mysterious Water Pill).
These medicinal herbs were carefully selected by Xu Zhengyang and combined using his knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. Although the effect is not as good as taking Mysterious Water Pill directly, the effect is definitely significant.
As time went by, the entire dormitory gradually filled with the aroma of medicine, especially in the bathtub, where the water temperature rose higher and higher, even exceeding 100 degrees Celsius. This heat wave rushed straight to Xu Zhengyang's skin, and the medicinal steam quickly penetrated his body through his pores.
Xu Zhengyang frantically circulated his Soul Power, and the medicinal vapors seeped into his body through his skin. These vapors collided with the Soul Power within his body, as if they were washing over all the meridians, every inch of skin, every muscle, and every blood vessel.
For many years, Xu Zhengyang has insisted on medicinal baths, especially when he is extremely tired from exercising, the medicinal baths are very effective.
However, due to the prolonged duration of the medicinal bath, the body has developed a slight resistance. Moreover, when the body is immersed in the medicinal solution, the skin acts as a barrier, separating the body from the medicine. If steam is used, especially at extremely high temperatures, the skin pores will dilate, making it easier for the medicine to enter the body with the steam.
The method Xu Zhengyang came up with was based on the steam therapy method from Blue Star medicine on Earth in his previous life, combined with the effects of moxibustion and sauna. It could not only promote blood circulation, but also treat the problem of blocked meridians.
Xu Zhengyang could clearly feel the heat waves in the bathtub getting stronger and stronger, and the stimulation to his body was getting greater and greater. In particular, the medicine rushed into his body with the steam, as if he had returned to the feeling of his first medicinal bath.
Xu Zhengyang even felt that under this powerful heat wave, his body gradually turned from its original bronze color to bright red, somewhat like a boiled shrimp, and even his exposed face turned bright red.
Even so, Xu Zhengyang seemed even more delighted and happy.
"It works. Under this high-temperature steam, my cultivation speed is significantly faster. Both my blood circulation and the stimulation from the steam medicine have improved considerably. I even feel that it's easier to break through bottlenecks under these conditions."
Time flies, and soon Xu Zhengyang had spent a year at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy.
Throughout the year, Xu Zhengyang continued his training methodically. In the mornings, he would practice his physical fitness and marksmanship, in the mornings he would learn how to make Soul Tool in class, in the afternoons he would regularly conduct practical training, and he would also go to the library to read. In the evenings he would use his self-created steam therapy to temper his body.
In the evening, I focused entirely on meditation. After the steam therapy, my meditation speed was noticeably faster, at least much faster than usual.
It was through this rigorous training that Xu Zhengyang's Soul Power improved at a rate not much slower than that of the geniuses in his class; in fact, it could be described as a miracle.
After a year of arduous training, Xu Zhengyang's Soul Power has now reached the peak of level thirty-seven, an increase of four levels in a year. Of course, in addition to these trials, he also consumed the Soul Ascension Pill.
Furthermore, Xu Zhengyang became Level 2 Soul Engineer just two months after entering the academy, and he is now not far from becoming Level 3 Soul Engineer.
At this rate of cultivation, it will take at most one to two months to raise one 'Soul Power to level 38, and within eight months one can cultivate to the Soul Ancestor realm.
However, this speed is somewhat different from that of Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen. The two of them have already broken through to the Soul Ancestor realm and obtained their Fourth Soul Ring. In particular, Xiao Hongchen's Soul Power has reached a terrifying level of forty-six. In addition to absorbing the Soul Ring, he has also increased his Soul Power by seven levels.
Of course, according to rumors in the class, Xiao Hongchen's Fourth Soul Ring was also a top-grade Soul Ring, even far exceeding the absorption limit of the Fourth Soul Ring. He increased his Soul Power by at least two levels just by absorbing the Soul Ring.
Meng Hongchen is in a similar situation, currently at level 45. Judging from their cultivation speed, they are expected to break through to the Soul King realm in the Soul Master Tournament a year and a half later. Judging from their situation, they should have both taken Soul Ascension Pill.
In addition, about half of the students in the class broke through to the Soul Elder realm. This speed of improvement caused a stir throughout the academy, especially Ye Nongfeng, whose Soul Power Level was in no way inferior to the Soul Elder when he entered the academy.
Besides researching Soul Tool, everyone in the class became a combat maniac, fighting desperately during every combat training session to showcase their recent training results. They even developed many strange and unusual Soul Tool for actual combat.
