Half a Sect Master

ight to the traditional Chinese medicine store.
Yin Nanhan didn’t hide the formula of the medicinal bath from him, and even explained the dosage and order of each herb in detail to him, so he made the exact same medicinal bath, and Bai Fan believed that there was no problem.
What made Bai Fan most fortunate was that the herbs needed were neither too precious nor rare, most of which were common herbs.
Otherwise he would not have the financial resources to afford them.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that the formula of this medicinal bath was kept as a secret.

The traditional Chinese medicine store that Bai Fan went to was a relatively large one in Z City, with a complete range of products.
Because he only received two months’ salary, Bai Fan was not well-off.
For the sake of his wallet, Bai Fan did not buy too much.
He only bought the amount needed for three medicinal baths.
After weighing a dozen herbs, the salary for two months was still gone.
Although those herbs are not rare, some of them were not cheap.

After putting all the herbs into a large bag, Bai Fan went out of the pharmacy and took a medicinal bath.
He still had one very important tool that was not ready yet, and that was… a wooden bathtub.

No one uses a wooden bathtub anymore.
They are only used as antiques in the modern and bustling Z City.
Bai Fan stood on the side of the road, stopping taxis one after another and asking the drivers if they knew where he could purchase wooden bathtubs.
Most of the drivers shook their heads and drove away.
Finally, after many failures, one of the drivers nodded, “Get in the car.”

The car drove for a long time until it reached an old town.
It stopped in front of a store.
Bai Fan saw that there were many wooden chairs and the like in front of the store.
He surprisingly found wooden barrels, there are big ones for bathing, and there are small ones to dip people’s feet.

Bai Fan happily bought a large one, and then found that the tub was missing a lid, so he drew a picture to indicate what it should look like.
The owner was an old carpenter, so not long after, the lid of the bathtub was ready.
There was a big hole in the middle, which was exactly the same as the one Bai Fan used before.

Large items are provided door-to-door service.
The owner greeted a young man and asked him to drive Bai Fan back with him along with the bathtub.

After returning to the house he rented and moving the tub upstairs with the young man, Bai Fan thanked him, and then quickly got prepared.

He first cleaned the tub and heated the water.
The amount of hot water needed for such a large tub was astonishing.
Seeing that the water temperature of the water heater was 76 degrees today, Bai Fan simply plugged in the power and heated it for a few hours.
Hours later, Bai Fan found that the water temperature had reached 89 degrees, so he started pouring hot water into the tub, and finally filled the tub to 80% full, and the water in the water heater was bottomed out.

Because of the presence of hot water in this large tub, the room was quickly filled with water vapour, creating a smoky feel.
Bai Fan opened the medicine packs he bought today, and after processing each one, he grabbed a third of it and put it in.
Some were ground into powder, some were cut into slices, some were put in whole sections, and some actually only required a section from the whole herb.

After all the medicinal materials were put away, Bai Fan began to wait patiently.
He knew that he had to let the hot water soak the medicinal materials and at the same time, the temperature would naturally drop to a temperature acceptable to the human body before taking a bath.

As the medicinal materials were soaked, a strong medicinal fragrance filled the air, and the smell was the same as the medicinal bath he soaked in at night.
Bai Fan knew that his medicinal bath should have been made successfully, but was it really successful? It would take a while to find out after testing it for himself.

When the temperature was bearable, Bai Fan removed his clothes and soaked in the bath.
He also covered the tub lid, forming a big steamer.
Unlike before where he wanted to jump out of a medicinal bath, this time he could be said to feel the subtle changes in his body with a little anticipation.

Under the fumigation of hot water, Bai Fan’s forehead was quickly covered with beads of sweat, and the condensed sweat kept flowing down his chin, but Bai Fan’s face showed a happy look, because the familiar feeling of thousands of little bugs digging into the body reappeared.
He was worried because they were in two different worlds, so that the same medicinal materials may not produce the same magical effect.
But now it seems that he had nothing to worry about.

……

Bai Fan relaxed his mind and tried to gather the scattered qi in his dantian.
This time it was still very laborious, but with the help of the little bugs that had penetrated into the body, the few faint qi gradually solidified, and began to move closer to each other under Bai Fan’s will…

After taking the medicinal bath that day, Bai Fan was finally able to clearly feel the mass of qi in his dantian.
Although it wasn’t like Yin Rui’s body which could flow throughout the whole body on the first day, Bai Fan was already very satisfied.

*《Three Character Classic》, 《Thousand Character Classic》and《Zeng guang》: 《三字经》《千字文》《增广贤文》, these are somewhat like ancient textbooks which are quite well known in China.

*Qi: Technically energy.

*Mantra: We weren’t sure how to translate 口诀心法, so Robe just decided on this.
These are words which are used to help concentrate during meditation.

*Dantian: This appears practically everywhere in cultivation-related novels, it’s the energy core of the body or people would also call it the elixir field.

Luvchild: So hello we’re late once again and we apologise for that, we had troubles translating some terms since we’re pretty new to this and we’re practically half-dead from exams.
So, sorry to say but we’ll be taking a break for the next update and update on the week after.

Robe: Enjoy the chapter:))
