For a long time after that, the father and son had a lot to talk about in the room.
Most of the time, it was Li Xun who instilled some insights on Body Cultivation into Li Ran, as well as how to walk the path.
Li Ran did not mind. As the chief of the Pure Wind Clan, Li Xun had also walked the path of Body Cultivation for quite a long time. He had more authority than anyone else.
The experience of an old senior was very useful.
“Let’s go. I still have some spiritual materials and monsters here. I can brew a medicinal paste for you to try.”
As Li Xun said this, he brought Li Ran into the backyard.
Once they entered the backyard, they could smell a strong medicinal fragrance. Li Ran could not help but take a deep breath. When the medicinal fragrance entered his body, his body felt comfortable and smooth.
“It’s the Thousand Illusions Sapphire. Many years ago, when I entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range, I accidentally came across it on a dry wasteland.”
Li Xun smiled and said, “This spiritual material has always been kept in the backyard by me. The ancient records say that it can dredge blood circulation and reconstruct bones but…”
When he thought of this, he felt a little regretful.
“If the Thousand Illusions Sapphire is used alone, it won’t be of much use. Only when it’s complemented with the Ganoderma Herb will it have the miraculous effect mentioned in the ancient records.
“All these years, I haven’t seen any Ganoderma Herb in the market. I’ve entered various mountain ranges many times, but I haven’t found any traces of it.”
‘Ah!
‘All that was missing was a spiritual material!’
He looked at Li Ran apologetically.
“The ancient records may not be correct. Besides, the Ganoderma Herb is rare, and it’s hard to find one in the world. Everything depends on luck.”
Li Ran comforted him.
“There are many ways to reconstruct bones and cure old diseases in history. We don’t have to follow the ancient records. Father, let’s use this Thousand Illusions Sapphire today. One less material won’t be a problem.”
‘Forget it!
‘It had been kept for so many years, but it was still not used.’
“In a while, the Thousand Illusions Sapphire will be boiled into a medicinal paste. You can soak it in it later. I’ll try to reduce the concentration of the medicinal paste. If you really can’t stand it, just tell me.”
Li Xun started to get busy in the backyard. First, he fiddled with a huge stone cauldron. It was as tall as an adult.
He started to light the fire.
Li Ran stood by the side and watched. When the water in the stone cauldron boiled, he saw Li Xun carrying a unicorn. Its Soul Ring had been destroyed, and only its body was intact.
The unicorn was cut into two halves and thrown into the stone cauldron, making a loud bang.
Li Xun then took out a giant wing dripping with blood. It was two meters long and was shining with a red luster.
He stuffed the wing into the stone cauldron and took out a jade bottle from his pocket. A drop of fresh blood essence fell into the cauldron.
There were also all kinds of spiritual materials in the stone cauldron. Li Ran could not recognize some of them but judging from their auras and medicinal fragrance, they must be rare and expensive.
At this moment, a rich smell was released from the stone cauldron. It was not just a pure medicinal fragrance, but a mixture of all kinds of nourishing heavenly materials and earthly treasures. They blended together and permeated, forming this smell.
It was not over yet. Li Xun turned around and disappeared into the backyard. When he reappeared, he was holding a blue spiritual material in his hand.
This time, he did not need to say anything. Li Ran knew that it was the Thousand Illusions Sapphire. Its aura was the same as what he had picked up in the backyard at the beginning.
The spiritual material was the finishing touch.
Li Xun did not throw the Thousand Illusions Sapphire directly into the stone cauldron. Instead, a wisp of Soul Qi appeared on his palm and covered the material first. Finally, he threw it into the stone cauldron.
The fire gradually slowed down and finally extinguished.
Soon, the medicinal paste inside the stone cauldron was releasing hot steam. It was exceptionally thick, and the original color could no longer be seen. The medicinal paste inside the cauldron was emerald green mixed with purple and blue.
“Alright, go in. It’ll be very painful at the beginning. Endure as long as you can. Don’t force yourself!”
Li Xun exhorted.
Out of consideration for Li Ran’s physique, he reduced the addition of many magical monsters. He only added the necessary ones and spiritual materials inside and kept the concentration of the medicinal paste to the lowest possible level.
‘Could he endure it?
‘It’s hard to say!’
Among the disciples of the Pure Wind Clan, there were quite a number of disciples who had only endured the first tempering for less than an hour.
Li Ran glanced at the stone cauldron, took off his clothes, and jumped into the cauldron.
“Hiss.”
He was in so much pain that he took a deep breath. The temperature of the medicinal paste was very high and when it penetrated his skin, a piercing pain assaulted him.
His skin instantly turned red!
After Li Ran got used to the temperature, his body sensed that something was wrong before he could relax!
The pain just now could only be considered as an appetizer. The discomfort that Li Xun had just mentioned was starting to appear, and immense pain was attacking Li Ran bit by bit.
Those monsters and spiritual materials were only melted into the medicinal paste, but they still retained their primitive spirituality.
They attacked Li Ran’s body! They tore and gnawed on every part of his body!
If it was not for the Heavenly Spirit Cleansing Holy Water that had reshaped Li Ran’s physique, his original body would not have been able to withstand the tempering from the medicinal paste.
An hour passed.
The young man inside the stone cauldron did not look very good, but he did not have the intention of coming out. He closed his eyes tightly and quietly accepted the tempering from the medicinal paste inside the stone cauldron.
‘He could still persist?’
Li Xun was surprised. The youth’s performance had exceeded his expectations.
Nonetheless, he was calm and did not make any noise to disturb Li Ran. The backyard was completely silent.
Until another hour had passed.
Li Xun began to feel a little restless.
It had been two hours, but there was no movement at all…
He could not be blamed for thinking too much. With Li Ran’s body, it was very inconceivable that he could persist for two hours!
Li Xun looked at the stone cauldron worriedly. The young man sitting cross-legged inside moved a little and returned to silence.
‘Phew, it’s good that there’s movement.’
Li Xun let out a sigh of relief. He almost went down to fish for the young man.
The tempering continued, and the thick medicinal paste in the stone cauldron gradually decreased.
From the beginning until now, two and a half hours had passed!
If Li Xun had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have imagined that the young man in the stone cauldron was his son.
Such a weak body had actually managed to endure for two hours and a half inside the stone cauldron!
Li Xun stood beside the stone cauldron, and a trace of shock flashed across his eyes. ‘This… How’s this possible?’
He really wanted to rush in and feel the medicinal paste inside the stone cauldron.
‘Could it be that the concentration of the medicinal paste is too low?’
Just as his thoughts were running wild…
A moan came from inside the stone cauldron. Li Xun looked over abruptly and discovered that the young man looked like he was very comfortable.
‘What the hell!’
Li Xun had cultivated for so many years and had a deep impression of his first time. He was a 2.5-meter-tall strong man, but he was screaming in pain inside the stone cauldron!
Of course, the medicinal paste he had soaked in was thicker and more intense than Li Ran’s.
‘But no matter how unrich the paste is, it shouldn’t be like this, right?
‘Is it that comfortable?’
Li Xun wanted to go in and feel it a little.
Afterward…
The young man opened his eyes. They were bright and pure without a trace of impurities.
“How was it?”
Li Xun walked forward and asked nervously.
“Very comfortable!”
Li Ran recalled the experience just now and felt a little unsatisfied. After experiencing the temperature and multiple pains, he finally experienced the comfort of the medicinal paste seeping into his body and merging into energies that nourished his body.
Those magical creatures and spiritual materials had become nourishments for his body, providing an endless supply of energy to nourish his internal organs.
He guessed that all of this was related to the Heavenly Spirit Cleansing Holy Water.
Li Ran slowly climbed out of the stone cauldron. He noticed Li Yao’s complicated expression from the corner of his eyes, and he was alerted. ‘Did I expose something?’
“Father, I feel that my constitution has become a little stronger.”
He had not finished speaking when he began to cough, but it was softer than before.
“As long as it’s useful!”
Li Xun sized him up. It was indeed useful. The moment the youth came out of the stone cauldron, he could feel it.
The young man’s physical body had become stronger.
“You should go back first tonight. Come here again tomorrow to temper your body.”
Li Ran looked conflicted. “Will there be new monsters added tomorrow?
“Father, I think the concentration can still be increased. It’s too low.”
He actually wanted to meet a magical monster whose Soul Ring had not been destroyed.
Li Ran did not forget to fuse his Soul Ring. This was the goal of his Body Cultivation.
“I got it!”
Li Xun nodded. He also felt that the concentration was too low. Otherwise, how could the young man be in such comfort?
He said a few words then let Li Ran go back. The young man had just experienced his first tempering. He needed to spend some time to feel it and better prepare for the second and third tempering.
