Overwhelming pain! This was what Tang Ye felt at this moment. He really wanted to leap out from within the bath barrel, but when he thought about his mother that was suffering within the Flower Palace, he’d forcefully suppressed this tempting thought of his. In next to no time, Tang Ye’s skin fell off piece by piece. Yes, he was like a snake shedding its skin, and piece after piece fell off without end. Such a scene was extremely terrifying. Fortunately, at the same time that he experienced overwhelming pain, the green water came into effect, and traces of energy ceaselessly entered Tang Ye’s body before swiftly repairing his body that was being burnt apart by the Nether Ghostflames. It was exactly because of these traces of energy that Tang Ye’s body wasn’t burnt into ash by the Nether Ghostflames. But this caused Tang Ye to suffer. After all, the feeling of being burnt by the Nether Ghostflames was horrible! Two hours slowly passed by. Tang Ye’s face had already completely warped. It hadn’t warped from being burnt, and it was something that had been caused by the pain he experienced. However, even though he was in such pain, Tang Ye didn’t make a single sound from the beginning until the end. Tang Ye’s display caused Elder Mu to nod to himself. He originally merely had a slight interest in Tang Ye, and it was far from being admiration. After all, no matter how good Tang Ye’s natural talent was, he still didn’t attach importance to it. However, after he lived together with Tang Ye for these few days, Tang Ye’s display had caused him to arouse the intention to take Tang Ye as his disciple. But Tang Ye cultivated in the sword, and this caused him to feel slightly helpless. Because the path of the Sword Dao was extremely unfamiliar to him. As he gazed at Tang Ye who persisted within the bath barrel, Elder Mu sighed in a low voice before he walked into the cottage. Time passed slowly until almost six hours had passed since Tang Ye had entered the bath barrel. These six hours of time could be said to be the most physical pain Tang Ye had experienced in his entire life. Because his body was being ceaselessly harmed before it was repaired without end, and he was ‘enjoying’ this process over and over again. Presently, the only reason he was able to persist until now was entirely because of a single conviction he had, and it was the conviction to possess a formidable strength! When dawn arrived on the next day, the sun gradually ascended into the horizon while strands of the first rays of the morning sun descended. They descended onto the body of Tang Ye who was within the bath barrel, and it was like they’d placed a thin golden veil around Tang Ye. Crack! The door the cottage opened slowly before Elder Mu walked out with his walking stick in hand, and he arrived in front of Tang Ye. He nodded lightly when he saw that the water within the barrel had turned completely black, and then he said, “The spirit herbs within the water have been completely absorbed by you, so come out from there. If you continue staying in there, then your body will really be burned into ash while it’s without the assistance of the spirit herbs to repair it!” When he heard Elder Mu, Tang Ye suddenly opened his eyes, and then he leaped out of the bath barrel. After that, Tang Ye instantly lay on the ground and gasped for breath while allowing the sunlight to descend onto his body. Even though he’d left the bath barrel, he still felt burning pain throughout his pain, and it was just not as strong as it was moments ago! The Elder Man gestured lightly with his hand. The white flames within the bath barrel seemed as if it was alive, and it flew swiftly out of the barrel and into the old man’s palm. The old man put the Nether Ghostflames away, and then he looked at Tang Ye and said, “From now on, you’ll head to the waterfall to endure the impact of the water during the day, and then you’ll continue residing within the bath barrel in the night. This will continue until your body undergoes a complete transformation!” “I have to continue doing this every night from now on?” Tang Ye suddenly sat up straight, and he cried out involuntarily as he looked at the old man. “Of course!” Elder Mu nodded and said indifferently, “Did you think that a single time would be sufficient to improve your body? If it was so easily improved, then the profession of body refiner wouldn’t be on the verge of extinction!” “Body refiner?” Tang Ye’s interests were aroused, and he said, “Profounders that specialize in cultivating the body?” Elder Mu nodded and said, “Body refiners were extremely formidable 10,000 years ago, yet the body refiners suffered come tribulations because of certain reasons, and then their numbers grew fewer and fewer. Coupled with the fact that it was a painful profession, so the people that cultivated it grew even fewer.” Tang Ye asked in a slightly curious manner. “Are body refiners formidable?” The reason he’d cultivated his body is that he’d noticed that the bodies of Darkbeasts were extremely formidable and coupled with the fact that the golden profound energy he possessed was an existence capable of strengthening the body, so he’d intended to cultivate his body. Otherwise, he wouldn’t cultivate his body at all. After all, besides Darkbeasts, there seemed to be no one in the southern territory that cultivated the body!
