Chapter 15: Medicinal Bath and Acupuncture

The amber color of the medicinal soup radiated a warm glow under the light, and a rich medicinal fragrance filled the room. Lu Linger carefully poured the prepared liquid into the bathtub, then added water until the temperature and concentration of the medicine reached the ideal state.

"Okay, come in." Lu Linger stretched out her hand to test the water temperature and said to Gu Yichen with a smile. Her eyes were gentle and firm, as if this medicinal bath could bring new life to Gu Yichen.

Gu Yichen stood aside, his heart filled with conflict and anxiety. The effects of the medicinal bath were unknown, and he felt uneasy and shy about having to undress in front of the girl. Lu Linger's eyes were clearly a little impatient. Seeing Gu Yichen's lack of movement, she frowned and asked, "Are you still going to soak?"

Gu Yichen was alerted by her attitude, and with a hint of eagerness and shyness in his voice, he replied, "Bath! I'll bathe!" He quickly ran into the room and closed the door. After taking off his clothes, he took a deep breath, mustered his courage, and stepped into the tub.

The heat of the medicinal soup immediately hit him, and Gu Yichen felt a warm power seeping in from his pores, as if every cell was being gently awakened. As he slowly sat in the tub, the heat gradually spread, warming his entire body.

Soon after, he felt his blood circulation quicken, his heartbeat becoming more pronounced as the medicine took effect. He could clearly feel the medicinal effects seeping through his skin and into his internal organs, gradually relieving his discomfort. The herbs in the bath exuded a rich aroma. Though it was a bit sticky and unpleasant, Gu Yichen knew it was a sign that toxins were being expelled from his body.

Lu Ling'er entered the room, silver needles in hand, ready to perform an acupuncture treatment. She gently approached Gu Yichen and began to apply needles to specific acupuncture points on his back. Each needle insertion brought a noticeable heat, and Gu Yichen felt a surge of heat spread through his body. Sweat quickly poured from his pores, soaking his entire body.

As the acupuncture deepened, Gu Yichen occasionally groaned, his body completely drenched in sweat. His senses were keenly aware that each needle pierced his body, forcing toxins out of his body. As Lu Linger performed the procedure, she comforted Gu Yichen, "The acupuncture process may be a little uncomfortable, but it's necessary. It can help you sweat more effectively and expel toxins from your body. Combining a medicinal bath with acupuncture will be even more effective."

"That's enough." Lu Ling'er finally put away the needles and gently patted Gu Yichen's back, her tone full of concern. "I'll use acupuncture to make your body warm, and the sweat you expel will be the remaining toxins. You need three more acupuncture treatments, with ten days between each treatment. Now I'll add some more medicinal soup, and you can continue soaking until the water cools down."

She finished speaking and walked out of the room. Gu Yichen continued to soak in the tub, feeling the warmth of the medicinal soup. He saw the toxins in his body being excreted with sweat, and the potion became increasingly turbid. Although the potion was a bit sticky and emitted an unpleasant odor, he knew that this was a sign that the toxins were being excreted.

Lu Ling'er poured two buckets of hot medicinal soup into the tub, further enhancing the bath's effectiveness. Gu Yichen felt the water temperature rise again, his muscles gradually relaxing under the warmth. The warm soup enveloped him in a comfortable warmth, his skin gradually becoming rosy, the medicinal effects clearly evident.

Time ticked by, and Gu Yichen felt his body relax and the toxins gradually drain out of him in the tub. His skin flushed, and steam from the medicinal broth rose as Gu Yichen began to slowly absorb the medicinal properties, feeling a sense of comfort within him. After a cup of tea, he finally stood up and stood beside the tub, feeling a noticeable improvement in his physical condition.

The dark purple complexion and blood-red dark lines originally caused by the Night Phantom Poison had now been greatly reduced, and the skin had returned to its fair color, with only a few faint marks remaining. Lu Linger's previous statement that two more acupuncture treatments would be needed to completely eliminate the toxins now seemed to be true.

Gu Yichen dried himself, put on his clothes, opened the door, and walked out of the room. After his bath, his body and hair were filled with a faint medicinal fragrance, which made him feel happy. Lu Linger was sitting at the tea table in the courtyard and waved to him.

"Yichen, after the medicinal bath, drink this 'washing soup'. This will allow your body to absorb the medicinal properties more deeply." Lu Linger handed Gu Yichen a bowl of medicinal soup with a gentle and caring tone.

Gu Yichen took the medicine and glanced at Lu Ling'er gratefully. He carefully gulped it down. The warm liquid flowed through his dantian, bringing a comfortable sensation. He could feel his internal energy flowing through his body. He no longer felt the excruciating pain from blocked meridians. Now, he felt only relief and warmth.

Gu Yichen was filled with gratitude. He knew that every step Lu Ling'er took was to save him. Medicinal baths and acupuncture would be the key to ridding him of the toxins in his body. He seemed to be standing on the edge of rebirth, and Lu Ling'er was the beacon guiding him towards a new life.
