After an unknown amount of time, Sun Huo slowly opened his eyes. After blinking hard several times, what came into view was still the familiar roof, with stone pillars hanging upside down that emitted yellow light. p>
"It seems that he was sent back to the secret practice room again." Sun Huo unconsciously raised the corner of his mouth and smiled bitterly, thinking secretly in his heart.
The warm feeling enveloped Sun Huo from all directions and entered his body, making him feel drowsy again.
At this time, the effect of Mr. Sun's training was reflected here. The vigilance rooted deep in his heart made Sun Huo Muran startled, and he bit the tip of his tongue with his teeth. The feeling of pain instantly cleared his mind a lot.
.
After calming down, Sun Huo noticed that this time he was not lying flat on the bed as usual, but sitting naked in a stone bucket.
The surface of the stone barrel was very rough and crude, and it looked like it had been temporarily made using the art of fossilization. The barrel was filled with dark red liquid that soaked his body. It looked a little viscous, and it didn't seem to be the same as ordinary potions.
Same.
Although his body was still a little weak, it didn't stop Sun Huo from subconsciously raising his hand to stir the liquid in front of him. He smelled the faint fragrance exuding from the bucket of inexplicable liquid, which felt very comfortable to his heart and lungs, but he still reluctantly
I can distinguish one or two herbal flavors from it.
Out of curiosity, Sun Huo put a finger into his mouth and tasted the liquid for a while. The next moment, his expression changed drastically and he almost jumped out of the stone bucket, but his reason suppressed him and he did not do it immediately.
Take action.
Because the taste on his tongue clearly conveyed this information to his mind: the bucket of liquid he was soaking in at this time was made from blood water and some medicinal materials.
If he guessed correctly, the blood here should be the python blood taken from the azure python he killed.
Although he knew that this was supposed to be used to heal his injuries, Sun Huo still felt conflicted and unable to accept such an evil method. In shock, Sun Huo hurriedly mobilized his consciousness and began to look inside to check his injuries.
As expected, after the previous deadly fight with the Azure Python, all the broken bones in the body had been reset, and the skin and flesh wounds on the body had also healed.
However, the loss of vitality and deeper hidden injuries caused by this battle are unavoidable, and it will take more time to make up for it.
Now that his body was able to move independently without any serious problems, Sun Huo didn't want to stay in the stone bucket and soaked in the horrible blood. He immediately stretched out his hands and put them on the edge of the bucket, and stood up with all his strength.
"Hoo ho ho..."
At this moment, a deep and rough friction sound suddenly sounded.
Sun Huo's heart tightened, and he squatted back into the stone barrel without thinking. Then he turned his head and looked nervously, only to see Mu Xin pushing open the stone door and walking in.
"Hey, it turns out you've woken up a little earlier than the helmsman expected. How do you feel?"
The first time he met Sun Huo's slightly panicked gaze, Mu Xin was slightly startled. Then he closed the door and walked to a stone bench in the hall to sit down. At the same time, he spoke casually.
Hello.
"Thank you for your concern, senior brother. I'm fine now. I wonder if senior brother is here now. Do you have anything important to explain?" Sun Huo sank into the stone bucket and said a little unnaturally.
"Xueyan, this is not a sect, and we do not address each other by seniority. In the future, we will also address each other by our respective names when performing tasks outside. This is for the purpose of concealing our identity, so remember it firmly."
Sun Huo was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Besides, I'm here just to supervise you to stay in there for five hours before you come out on the orders of the helmsman, and add some ingredients along the way."
Mu Xin nonchalantly explained the purpose of coming here while picking out the dirt between his fingernails.
The flesh on Sun Huo's right cheek trembled, and he shouted hurriedly: "Brother Mu Xin, can we discuss it? You see that I have woken up, and there is nothing serious about my body. Just let me get out of this blood."
Come out and report back to complete the task when the time comes, okay?"
Mu Xin was not surprised at all by Sun Huo's reaction. If he were in such a situation at this time, he would want to get out of the stone barrel immediately. But an order is an order, and it must be carried out to the end.
Thinking of this, Mu Xin had a wicked smile on his face, stood up and walked forward slowly.
"Xueyan, you know the rules, and you can't refuse this. Who gave you such a set of steel and iron bones, which can rival the tyrannical body of a monster, so you deserve such special treatment. Stay in there well.
, there are still two hours left, this is not something that everyone can enjoy casually."
When Sun Huo heard that it would be soaked for another two hours, Sun Huo immediately felt his scalp numb, and quickly put his hands on the edge of the bucket again. But Mu Xin was standing in front of him without any obstruction, which made him feel embarrassed again.
He stood up quickly. Before he stood up, the liquid in the bucket swayed up and down.
Seeing Sun Huo unable to move forward or retreat in the stone barrel, Mu Xin rolled his eyes and said:
"When you fainted after the fight, the helmsman ordered me to bring you here for treatment, so I saw everything. Your abilities are really majestic, and they are no better than this sturdy body.
So let me ask you, what did you eat when you were growing up?"
Hearing Mu Xin ask such an inappropriate question, Sun Huo's face turned red. He opened his mouth but couldn't utter a single word in response.
"Hey, you're so shy. It's really unexpected. It seems that Xue Yan, you were quite specialized in cultivation before and didn't have much experience. Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's such a pity. I'll figure it out someday.
, I can give you some advice on how to win the beauty back."
Mu Xin chuckled, shaking his head and suggested.
At this time, he completely lost his previous simple and straightforward temperament, and looked like a real ruffian.
Being teased and exposed by Mu Xin so brazenly in front of his face, Sun Huo felt ashamed and angry, and he immediately wanted to rush out of the barrel regardless.
But Mu Xin had already paid attention to his actions. He swung his left hand forward suddenly, and a rattan covered with sharp barbs flew out from his sleeve robe, bending back and forth to seal the barrel in the blink of an eye.
Mouth, not giving Sun Huo a chance to come out of the barrel.
"Mu Xin, sooner or later I will kill you." Sun Huo shouted bitterly as he glared at the young man with a wicked smile in front of him.
"Yeah, maybe." Mu Xin raised his eyebrows with a nonchalant look on his face. Instead, he was groping for something on his body. After a while, there were two more things in his hand, a small piece of
A wooden stick and a crystal bottle the size of a thumb. Sun Huo was filled with doubts and didn't know what he was going to do.
At this time, Mu Xin's face straightened, he held the small piece of stick between his two fingers, brought it to Sun Huo's mouth and shook it.
"Bite it, it will make you feel better."
"What's in the bottle?" Sun Huo didn't obey and bit the stick, but asked what was in the crystal bottle.
"You don't want to know." Mu Xin replied lightly, without saying much else.
After staring at Mu Xin's eyes for a long time, he saw that it was deep and calm, without any ripples. Then Sun Huo silently opened his mouth and bit the stick. The fragrance in his mouth suddenly made him quite surprised.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Xin pulled off the cap of the crystal bottle and poured it down. Strangely, it took more than ten breaths to pass before three pieces of silver liquid that looked like melted silver fell out of the mouth of the bottle.
.
The silver liquid dripped into the blood, but it was as silent as a stone sinking into the ocean. There was still a warm feeling surrounding his body, which made Sun Huo a little stunned.
Without waiting to raise his head and cast a questioning look at Mu Xin, Sun Huo's expression suddenly changed. He bit the wooden stick in his mouth tightly and would not let go, and inarticulate moans began to come from his throat. p>
He saw that the originally calm blood started to boil as if it had been boiled, making a gurgling sound. The warm feeling was gone. At this time, what he could feel was a burning pain that spread all over his body.
.
Not only that, Sun Huo also felt that his skin and flesh were gradually melting away like a burning candle, and all his strength was also rapidly disappearing.
But when he tried his best to put his left hand out of the water, what he saw was still an intact and strong arm, but the surface seemed to be painted with a layer of lime, white and shiny, and it looked indescribable.
The weirdness.
Sun Huo only saw this once, and his left hand immediately fell back into the boiling blood water.
After a long time like this, Mu Xin, the supervisor next to him, suddenly said:
"If this were a pot of stew, what kind of tonic would it be?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Huo, who was enduring the pain of body tempering, almost lost his temper. At this moment, he could only stare at this guy who started to smile playfully again. He suspected that he had done something in his previous life.
What a sin, to meet such a wrong enemy as a partner.
