The medicinal content inside the metal pot no longer boiled and has dropped to the minimum level. However, a stinging and searing feeling assaulted Myah's pale skin quickly as soon as his body is submerged into the deep red liquid.
It was simply a torturing experience!
Myah's expression changed continuously.
If the feeling were to be described in words, it would be like having countless fiery needles drilling into your flesh, and you can't even do anything but feel helpless.
Although his grandma already warned him of the pain, the little guy couldn't hold himself back but whined pitifully inside the large metal pot.
"Neig...hei! hei!..." Bumpkin, the plumpy Grass Horse, who was currently panting for breath after running around the house, unconsciously shudder as it hears Myah's cry.
Feeling terrified and determined, it continued running.
Back to Myah.
Amid the sound of water splashing, the little guy was struggling and grimacing in pain inside the metal pot.
While he was exerting strength into his limbs and struggles, he unintentionally swallowed a few mouthfuls of the red medicinal liquids.
The painful feeling gets worse, both inside and outside. But just the pain of the flesh wasn't the most worrying factor.
Standing next to the metal pot, Mu Suyin silently observed Myah struggle. Although feeling a little worried, she let him be for now and would only take him out when he reached his limit.
'The road of cultivation is cruel and unrelenting; this was just merely the beginning.' She reminisced. 'With Myah's strong soul force, there shouldn't be any problem to endure the slight remnants of the Alpha Dire Wolf's killing intent.'
'It's coming!' Scrutinizing the change of Myah's situation slowly, Mu Suyin revealed a solemn face and was prepared to take him out at any time.
Sure enough, at this moment.
Inside of Myah's mind, a hostile and destructive feeling aroused as the vague shadow of a ferocious, bloody Dire Wolf could be seen howling and roaring continuously.
Accompanied the wolf's howling was a seemingly unending wave of murderous killing intent that swamped the little guy's mind and attacked his conscious.
This situation was expected.
Mu Suyin has wanted Myah to get used to this feeling to build up the necessary immunity so that in the future if he were to face a stronger opponent or corrupted Demon Beasts, his strength wouldn't be affected.
Sometimes, when one's locking in a fight, just a split second of having their will wavering could mean the ultimate demise.
Yet, confronting the trespasser, a pure and holy silvery light shines from the darkness.
Unknown to Myah, who was struggling, his Unique trait,
After a while, Myah felt incredibly exhausted.
Although it was just a tiny remnant killing intents, it nevertheless belonged to a Rank 3 being, especially the Dire Wolf, a cruel and invasive species.
The difference between three whole major realms wasn't something to scoff at.
As a result, his soul force was significantly consumed.
"How do you feel?" Mu Suyin asked.
While she took the naked little Myah out of the medicinal bath and wrapped him in a large towel, he didn't respond. Seeing this, Mu Suyin examined him closely and discovered that he was only falling asleep.
This situation was normal, as the best way one could restore expended soul force was through sleeping.
With a slight smile, Mu Suyin put little Myah to rest on the bed inside the house.
'Although this session was painful, Myah has undoubtedly benefited much from it as this was his firsthand experience. By tomorrow, his strength would be recovered and would increase by a large amount.' She thought, looking at his sleeping face.
Then, after returning to the messy kitchen, Mu Suyin glances at the remaining medicinal liquid inside the metal pot with the corner of her eyes while cleaning up.
"Good stuff shouldn't go to waste..." Facing the door, she raised her voice and called out loudly. "Bumpkin! come over here!"
Bumpkin was currently panting for breath. It was still in the midst of running exercise around the house.
"!!!"
After hearing the call of the devil, Bumpkin freezes on the spot.
Although in this past month, it has always taken a bath in Myah's leftover. The feeling was incredible; its exhaustion from running also gone away; it didn't mind the gooey and slimy texture at all.
But this time, it's different.
Myah's previous cries of agony have left the plumpy Grass Horse terrified. It didn't dare to respond and swiftly ran away to hide with no hesitation.
But alas, it was too slow.
"Hehe, it's too late for you to run!" Mu Suyin chuckled as she abruptly appeared out of thin air and easily grad a hold of Bumpkin's horsetail.
"Neigh!!!!"
With barely any effort, she drags it into the kitchen.
Then, after lighting up the firewood, the inferno began raging and heating the metal pot once again. After the medicinal liquid began boiling, what accompanies it was the echoes of Bumpkin's dramatic neighing.
Unlike little Myah, who has yet to become an official cultivator and can only absorb about 10% of the medicinal properties, Bumpkin was a full-fledged Early-stage Rank 1 Spirit Beast and could take in everything.
Under the painful tempering process, its round tummy was getting smaller, albeit very slightly, but it could still be seen clearly by the naked eyes.
"Well, keep on soaking, and don't even think of getting out of the pot without my permission." Looking at the burning fire below, Mu Suyin warned Bumpkin strictly before leaving the kitchen to tend to something else.
As her silhouette slowly disappeared beyond that door, Bumpkin could only whine dejectedly.

The next day before the crack of dawn fully arrived, little Myah regained his consciousness. He feels refreshed, and his body is full of energy.
After a good night of sleep, his soul force has been fully restored.
While Myah couldn't discern if it were day or night, he couldn't care less because after waving his arms and legs around, the little guy felt that he has become much, much stronger.
He was almost as twice as strong compared to yesterday!
"Great!" Feeling rather excited at the sudden improvement, Myah jumped down from the bed. The sudden move almost made him stumble, but he steadied himself.
The cold air makes him shiver.
Because he was already familiar with the house's layout, there weren't any problems for him to move about the place.
After Myah was done changing his clothes by himself, the little guy went to the backyard and began training, his everyday routine.
