At noon, Ye Tian observed and smiled, "Bai Bing, the wound on your face has healed."
Bai Bing was surprised and delighted, "It's healed?"
Ye Tian nodded, "Let me remove the bandages for you."
As the gauze was unwound layer by layer, half of Bai Bing's face was covered by a layer of black, hardened shell. Ye Tian gently peeled it off, revealing a perfect woman's face.
Du Meilun was overjoyed and tearfully rushed to get a mirror, placing it before the extremely nervous Bai Bing.
When Bai Bing saw her restored reflection, tears inevitably fell. She suddenly threw herself into Ye Tian's arms and wept.
Ye Tian understood her emotions and smiled, "You've become a great beauty again, you should be happy."
Du Meilun asked, "Ye Tian, when will the other parts recover?"
Ye Tian replied, "Tonight, it should be almost there. After midnight, Auntie can remove the bandages."
Bai Bing lifted her delicate face and said earnestly, "Ye Tian, thank you."
Ye Tian smiled, "What for? I was just practicing on you."
Bai Bing rolled her eyes at him, "Alright, I'll be your test subject from now on."
Ye Tian knew that Bai Bing no longer needed him and would soon recover completely. He smiled, "Then I'll be going. I'll visit you again in a while."
Bai Bing's heart sank, "Are you leaving Zhonghai?"
Ye Tian nodded, "Yes, I have some things to attend to at home."
Bai Bing suddenly smiled, "When I'm discharged, I'll definitely come to Haicheng to find you and properly thank you, great divine doctor."
Ye Tian laughed heartily, "You're always welcome."
Leaving the hospital, he returned to the Jiang family.
After a hasty lunch, he locked himself in his room to continue refining that celestial power until he was certain he had complete control over it.
In the evening, he took out the wine pot and gently shook it. The pot emitted a strange sound. He smiled slightly, pinched the few tiny holes on the outside of the pot, and tilted the spout.
Instantly, a drop of amber-like medicinal liquid dripped from the pot, emitting a peculiar fragrance. He sniffed it and swallowed the drop, feeling its medicinal properties.
He realized that when he first saw the pot, he knew it wasn't a wine pot but a vessel specifically used by alchemists to store medicinal ingredients, called a Yaohu. Because the medicinal ingredients were extremely precious, mechanisms were installed to prevent them from being stolen or accidentally spilled.
Furthermore, this Yaohu was ingeniously designed with three internal compartments, containing three different medicinal ingredients.
After tasting the first drop, he murmured, "Such miraculous medicinal properties, beneficial for bones and tendons."
Next, he pressed different holes and poured out another drop of green, faintly sweet-smelling medicinal liquid, swallowing it again.
"Elusive medicinal properties, beneficial for the soul."
The last type of medicine was a purple liquid. After consuming a drop, the true energy within his body suddenly surged, almost beyond his control.
Startled, he quickly ran into the courtyard and practiced several sets of martial arts movements using the momentum.
After half an hour of practice, this surge of power gradually dissipated. He was greatly shocked and murmured, "This medicine must be used to break through bottlenecks. I can use it when I attempt to reach the Human Immortal realm in the future!"
After practicing a few forms, he was still not satisfied and began studying the martial techniques in the "Jijipian" (Combat Techniques). His true energy had reached the Profound realm, which was already a high level. He could now cultivate the first half of the "Dunjipian" (Shield Techniques).
Within the "Jijipian," there was a set of footwork called "Guishunbu" (Ghostly Steps). This footwork was composed of three basic steps, and once executed, it was as elusive as a ghost or spirit.
The three basic steps were Cuobu (Offset Step), Weibu (Subtle Step), and Diebu (Layered Step). Ye Tian began practicing with Weibu.
Weibu, in essence, involved very small-amplitude steps. Each displacement was extremely minute. Weibu was generally used to connect different footwork techniques, and subtle, intricate adjustments also required Weibu.
Weibu had fifty-five movements. Ye Tian started practicing from the first movement, but as soon as he began, his blood and qi stagnated, and he stumbled and fell to the ground with a thud.
The sound startled the Jiang family members, who came out to check.
"Xiao Tian, why did you fall? Are you alright?" his aunt asked with concern.
Ye Tian was extremely embarrassed and quickly said, "Auntie, I was practicing, I'm fine."
Jiang Wenxing asked as a final inquiry, "Brother, are you feeling weak? I have some medicine here, you should take some to replenish yourself."
"Get lost!"
Jiang Wenxing quickly scurried back to his room to continue sleeping.
