Chapter 61: 061 Five Birds Potion, tough membrane

Liu Yang led the way, with Bai Xiao closely following him.

The two left the gymnasium and came to the training facility's warehouse once again.

This was a large rectangular building that occupied a significant area, located right next to the training field. The morning sun shone upon it, causing the tin roof to emit a faint blue glow. The shadow of the building cast a cool area below.

The elder named Chen Liao was lying in this cool shade.

At the moment, he was not napping.

Instead, his right hand held a copy of the Huai Shui Morning News, which he read quietly. His left hand fanned a woven fan, bringing gusts of cool breeze. The rocking chair he sat in swayed back and forth.

He appeared quite relaxed.

“Master Chen,”

Liu Yang, with Bai Xiao in tow, approached and called out in greeting.

“You're back again?”

Chen Liao set down the newspaper, revealing a gaunt face with black hair, a high nose bridge, looking to be around sixty years old.

“Yes.”

“The student wants to take a medicinal bath, please have someone prepare it,”

Liu Yang stated their purpose for coming.

“A medicinal bath already? How has his White Bird Breathing Technique and Blackbird exercise frame been?” Chen Liao raised an eyebrow, glancing at Bai Xiao.

“His White Bird Breathing Technique has already reached the Snake Sound level!”

Liu Yang said with a hint of pride.

As expected, he saw a look of surprise and astonishment on Chen Liao's face. This time, it was Liu Yang's turn to feel pleased. Just now, Bai Xiao had been showing off in front of him, which irked Liu Yang. But now, even Master Chen was taken aback, and that satisfied him! After all, Bai Xiao was his student.

There is a saying that goes, “to bask in reflected glory.”

“Bai Xiao, let me see how well you've trained on the exercise frame,”

Chen Liao straightened up from his rocking chair, put the newspaper aside, and looked directly at Bai Xiao, saying. He had long since memorized Bai Xiao's name.

After all, the name bore quite a connection with White Bird Martial Arts Hall and the Fierce Bird Sect.

“Yes.”

Without any hesitation, Bai Xiao began to demonstrate the Blackbird exercise frame one by one. There were six challenging movements in total, each imitating the various poses of birds of prey during water-skimming, soaring, hunting, and so forth. His arms powerfully expanded, his center of gravity stable, his joints flexible.

He quickly demonstrated all six exercise frames smoothly.

“Good, you have really reached the stage of mastery,”

Chen Liao commented with approval.

“The effects of your medicinal bath this time will definitely be extraordinary,”

After he spoke, Chen Liao walked towards the warehouse. Inside, some members of the Fierce Bird Sect began to move, serving as helpers to gather the necessary herbs.

In the warehouse, there was a private room specifically for medicinal baths.

Bai Xiao and Liu Yang stood at the doorway, looking inside.

In the center of the private room was a wooden tub about a meter high, very sturdy. The tub initially contained clear hot water up to two-thirds full. However, as various herbs and medicinal powders were continuously added over ten minutes, the tub of hot water had turned into a sticky, black liquid. The entire private room was filled with a thick medicinal fragrance, misty with steam, and somewhat unpleasant.

“Alright, go on in,”

“This tub of Five Birds Potion has potent medicinal strength. If you can't bear it, make sure to cry out,” Chen Liao advised, “Endure as long as you can, ideally until your body reaches its absorption limit…”

“Don't overdo it,” Liu Yang also warned Bai Xiao, looking at him.

“Understood.”

At this moment, Bai Xiao didn't know if it was the special scent of the medicine, but the itchy feeling that had previously subsided under his skin now surged up fiercely, and with an intense sense of craving.

He was somewhat looking forward to it.

Five minutes later, the door to the private room was closed, and the medicinal scent became even stronger.

Bai Xiao stripped off his clothes.

Naked, he submerged himself in the large tub of Five Birds Potion.

“Sss…”

The moment he entered, Bai Xiao experienced a strong sensation of stimulation. His entire skin felt as though it was being pricked by countless fine needles, yet not punctured. He was at the threshold of being harmed without actually being harmed, the sensation jumping repeatedly.

The feeling of itchiness was even worse, as if ants were crawling over him.

It was a torment to his nerves.

Bai Xiao's eyebrows twitched, and he decisively entered the Pure Heart State.

At the same time, he activated the White Bird Breathing Technique, his nostrils emitting a hissing snake sound. He also employed the Blackbird exercise frame, assuming the posture of a raptor curling up.

Suddenly, all the pores of his body seemed to open up at once.

A wave of hot flow, carrying a sting, surged fiercely into his skin.

Wave after wave, tide after tide, it seemed to lap against him continuously while the rocks on the seashore were smoothed, becoming harder and harder.

Bai Xiao's eyes were tightly closed, his body trembling slightly and unnaturally. This was an uncontrollable muscle reaction, similar to when people shiver in winter, which is actually the muscles automatically releasing heat to maintain body temperature.

The effect of the Five Birds Potion was many times stronger than that of the Body Refining Ointment.

It was perfect for Bai Xiao, who had just advanced the Fierce Bird Fighting Skill from beginner to intermediate level in a short time. He concentrated with closed eyes, feeling his skin and the muscles just beneath it, the primary targets of the potion's heat flow.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Bai Xiao felt as though layer upon layer of tung oil were secreting on his skin, covering every corner of his body. His skin became tougher and thicker, like cowhide.

Bai Xiao's limbs and body seemed to be enveloped in a layer of phantom leather.

He became heavier, more solid.

Time ticked by, second by second, how much time had passed, he did not know.

Outside, suddenly there was a knock on the door.

“Bai Xiao? Bai Xiao? Are you alright?”

It was Instructor Liu Yang's voice; he was worried that Bai Xiao had passed out in the bath.

“I'm fine, Brother Liu.”

Bai Xiao opened his eyes and looked down. The tub of Five Birds Potion had become much lighter in color and had lost that sticky feeling. He wasn't sure if it was because his body had absorbed a large amount of the potion.

Splash…

He stood up, stepping directly out of the tub.

Under the light, a rather perfect male human body was displayed in the air. Bai Xiao stretched out his hand and forcefully pinched the honey-colored skin of his other arm. It felt tough, thick, and solid, completely different from before. And he didn't feel any pain.

He continued to apply force, adding tens of kilograms of grip strength.

Only then did Bai Xiao feel something, and he slowly released his grip.

“With this layer of skin, I should… be able to take a beating better?”

He stretched his limbs, and a faint cracking sound came from his joints. Bai Xiao could feel a slight enhancement in his attributes.

However, since the potion mainly targeted the skin,

it significantly increased his defense and resistance to blows.

So the other aspects of his body only benefited slightly.

[Power: 17.2→17.4]

[Speed: 15.0→15.1]

[Physique: 16.3→17.5]

[Will: 13.5→13.6]

Power +0.2, Speed +0.1, Physique +1.2, Will +0.1.

One bath in the potion actually added a full 1.2 to his Physique attribute.

Now, Physique had surpassed Power, becoming his top attribute!
