In the spacious backyard, seconds turn into minutes, and times pass by swiftly.
Myah peacefully sat under the towering apple tree, unmoving, like a stone sculpture.
If watching from the view of others, they might have thought that Myah was seemingly in a dazed state.
However, it was the exact opposite.
The little guy was currently guiding the spiritual energy and refined them inside his body, filtering out the impurities and nurturing his soul sea.
The energy refinement method was a widely spread common knowledge that Mu Suyin had taught to him. For many, the process of refining one's spirit energy was also a form of training, and one must do it carefully.
When a cultivator has enough practice and experience, the flow and control over their spirit energy would be smoother and effortless.
Sometimes, in a fight between experts of the same strength, the better one's control over their spirit energy would most likely emerge as the victor since a higher proficiency allows them to use more potent and deadly attacks while minimizing the spirit energy consumption.
...
Meanwhile,
Inside the busied kitchen, as the firewood crackled, the red flame was ablaze in the open clay stove, tirelessly heating a metal pot.
The metal pot itself was huge, which could easily let three people take a bath inside and still have some extra space left.
Mu Suyin could be seen throwing some common herbs into boiling light-green-colored liquid within the metal pot from time to time. Next, she began stirring everything up moderately with a long wooden ladle.
With that, the herbal fragrance wafted in the air was growing denser and denser with each passing minute.
"Since Myah's body has been improving at a steady pace, the previous recipe has already started to lose its effect." After contemplating for a moment, Mu Suyin grabbed a small jar on the table.
"Hmmm, I should increase the potency of the medicine bath now to maintain this period of explosive growth..." She opened the small jar with a thoughtful expression and poured a drop of bright red liquid into the iron pot.
It was a drop of blood from the Rank 3 Alpha Dire Wolf!
Blood, bones, and meats of Spirit Beast are great and popular nourishments for cultivators.
Although Mu Suyin already traded the severed arm of the Rank 3 Alpha Dire Wolf away in the town, she still preserved some of its blood for other use.
While it was faint, there was still a ferocious and murderous characteristic from within this single blood drop.
Although it was just the Alpha Dire Wolf's normal blood and not its blood essence, in normal circumstances, even a Five-stars Warrior might not be able to withstand the trace of violent energy contained inside when mixed in their bath.
However, Mu Suyin wasn't worried that the medicinal properties of the bath would be too much for little Myah to handle as she has diluted it multiple times to a manageable level.
'It would undoubtedly bring a little bit of pain, but there should be no risk...' She thought.
Suddenly, the moment when the drop of the Alpha Dire Wolf's diluted blood touches the boiling herbal content inside the metal pot, there was a faint red radiant.
After half an hour, the previous light-green-colored medicinal liquid has turned as red as tomato soup.
It gives one the illusion of a ferocious and bloodthirsty Dire Wolf rising from the boiling metal pot for a split second before dispersing into thin white vapor and escaping to the chimney.
"It's finished." Perceiving the change in the aroma, Mu Suyin smiled, feeling satisfied with her work.
'Who would have thought... the little knowledge about concoction, which I learned back then, finally has some use.'
Then, after putting out the fire, she waited for it to cool down before leaving the kitchen and heading toward the backyard.
"Myah, your daily bath is ready!...hum?" Hearing no response, she glances around and discovers the little guy diligently meditated under the apple tree.
'He seems to be deeply immersed... well, it's a good thing.' Lifting her defined eyebrows, Mu Suyin walked over.
For a beginner with low-grade talent, the time they could cultivate in a day was varied and is limited.
Although the body felt refreshed and energized, their soul force would be exhausted to refine spiritual energy for an extended period without rest.
However, Mu Suyin has learned that Myah seems to be an exception. The little guy's soul force was abnormally strong and potent for a six years old child, especially his C-grade talent.
It was quite mysterious, and she sometimes wondered if Myah's strong soul force was the reason why his ability to communicate with the world's energy was slowly recovering without external help.
After that discovery, she just let him cultivate freely without restrictions since it wouldn't affect his other training.
'With such a strong soul power... Maybe he has the gift to become a tamer in the future.' Squatting down, she pinched his cheek.
"Eh?" Startled awake by the familiar sensation of getting his cheek pinched, Myah asked in confusion. "Grandma... what are you doing? I'm cultivating, hmph!"
"It's time to stop; your medicine bath is ready." Mu Suyin said casually before lifting him in her left arm.
"E-he-hehe... it's done already?!" Myah inquired, appearing somewhat uncomfortable.
The medicinal bath feels disgusting. Although it smells pleasant and makes him grow stronger every time, the texture is all gooey and slimy. He hates it a lot.
Not to mention that because Myah can't see, the nauseous feeling was heightened to another level.
All in all, it's even worse than Bumpkin's saliva.
"Of course, the temperature is already cooled down. Let's go." While they walked into the kitchen, she didn't forget to warn him. "But brace yourself, grandma has changed the recipe of the medicinal bath this time; it will hurt a little."
"!"
Myah was stunned for a moment, but then he calmed down. "Is it still gooey and slimy?"
"No." Looking at Myah's expecting expression, Mu Suyin shakes her head slightly and replied. She was not surprised.
Hearing his grandma's response, the little guy felt rather happy.
He didn't mind the slight pain if he could become even more powerful.
Every day, body training hurts very much, and a little more wouldn't matter too much.
In the kitchen, Mu Suyin striped Myah naked then gently placed him into the warm medicinal bath.
And as expected, it hurt! A LOT!
