The Strongest Magician of Gods
Chapter 85: Medicated Bath
Several enormous wooden tubs were folded together; the tubs were very thick and resembled the bathing tubs used by people in ancient times. Now, Luo Xiu and his companions were preparing to use these tubs for a medicinal bath to refine their bodies.
The medicinal bath for body tempering was actually a last resort for them. The potion that Luo Xiu brewed was too potent and needed to be neutralized with boiling water before it could be slowly absorbed by the body. If they were to take a medicinal bath directly with the potion, there could be terrible consequences. Over-absorption of potent potion is poison, and even they, as magicians, would not be spared. This is what potion science refers to as the appropriate amount.
Mo Bei and Green placed five wooden barrels in a row in the hall, each barrel being about waist-high.
"Boom!"
Green, his blond hair disheveled, quickly grabbed a bottle of beer from the liquor shelf in the lobby after finishing his work and opened it.
"Gulu gulu."
He downed it in one gulp, Green exclaimed with delight, his eyes, as big as a bronze bull, sparkling with excitement, his face slightly flushed with the smell of alcohol.
The wooden barrels were lined up in a row. Although Mo Bei didn't say it aloud, he was already impatient to refine his body.
After tidying up, he hurriedly ran into the kitchen to get the empty wooden bucket. When he came out, the bucket was steaming hot.
"Boss Green, make the water for the medicinal bath as hot as possible. Could you go and help me prepare the medicine?"
Luo Xiu carried the few medicines he had and walked into the hall. He looked at the clumsy Mo Bei in surprise, completely stunned.
In a world of magic, such a clumsy scene actually occurred.
Mo Bei was carrying two large buckets of boiling water, his forehead covered in sweat, and he was panting heavily.
Liu Jingxuan was surprised, her pretty face showing disbelief.
Jiang Yibai was also stunned.
"Second brother, are you out of your mind?! We're magicians, we're casting spells! I'm stupid too."
Green was stunned. In a flash of inspiration, he blurted out that he hadn't thought of using magic when he was carrying the wooden bucket. Now he suddenly realized that the cause of all the problems was Mo Bei.
"Ok!"
Liu Jingxuan blinked her beautiful eyes and smiled faintly. Perhaps Mo Bei was too interesting, making her forget that she was also a powerful magician.
"Something's not right. I don't think I've ever seen him use any magic since I first met him!"
Suddenly, this thought popped into Liu Jingxuan's mind. She was confused, but she felt that Mo Bei was becoming more and more mysterious.
"Master Mo? Your body..."
Luo Xiu frowned slightly; from what he saw at that moment, he vaguely noticed something.
"Uh!"
Mo Bei, panting heavily, finally managed to pour a bucket of boiling water into the container.
Hearing everyone's questions, he subconsciously realized his own problem.
"I was so busy I forgot. Ugh, I knew I wouldn't have to work so hard. I told you before, there's been a problem with my magic training lately. The magic source is in a state of chaos and it will take some time to recover. So I've been using this time to train my physical skills."
Mo Bei shrugged, looking helpless. He had only been in the magical world for a little over ten days and hadn't fully adapted to it yet. Now, suddenly losing the support of magic, he didn't feel any difference when doing his work.
However, to others, all of this was enough to analyze the person's current magical state.
"The fountain of magic has rioted?"
Luo Xiu was puzzled. He suspected that the force that caused Mo Bei's magical source to riot might be the same mysterious force that had been watching him in the bar.
"Take it easy. The source of magic is the foundation of a mage. We've worked our way up from the bottom, and we've overcome the most difficult times. Now we're just one step away from entering the sect. The sky's the limit. We absolutely cannot afford any trouble at this time."
Green walked over and patted Mo Bei on the shoulder, his brows furrowed and his face showing concern. As his former boss, although he wasn't good with words and was rather carefree, lacking some sensitivity, this affection would never change.
"Don't worry, I can handle my own affairs. It's just that the recruitment invitations from the four major academies have been giving me a headache lately. Fortunately, there is a two-week buffer period. I hope I can master even a move or two of the Body Tempering Technique as soon as possible, otherwise it will be embarrassing."
Mo Bei was dejected. The thought of losing face if he hadn't regained his magical powers by then was incredibly disheartening.
"The joint recruitment of students by the four academies is extremely rare in previous years, and it may be related to recent events. In the past, the principal personally oversaw the recruitment process, but this time the intention is probably not so simple. Moreover, the recruitment of students by the four academies has generated a lot of buzz in Austin City, which must have been tacitly approved by the Magic Guild. Otherwise, such a large-scale recruitment would be hard to explain," Luo Xiu sighed.
"Hoo"
Green pulled out his magic wand and touched a bucket full of boiling water. The bucket floated into the air, and the boiling water was poured into a huge wooden barrel.
"I've heard that this recruitment drive involves not only the four major academies but also various mercenary groups. In recent years, these mercenary groups have grown rapidly, with the involvement of large merchant groups behind the scenes. Moreover, each mercenary group currently has its own institutions dedicated to training magic apprentices. Once they discover promising talents, they'll probably be snapped up immediately. Perhaps this recruitment drive is the first purpose of the four major academies' joint recruitment efforts!"
After casting the spell, Green smiled and casually pointed his wand. Two empty buckets floated to the kitchen, automatically filled with boiling water, and then wobbled back.
After a few rounds, Liu Jingxuan joined the magic army, and the number of water buckets floating in the air suddenly increased to more than a dozen. In less than a quarter of an hour, five wooden buckets were filled with boiling hot bubbles.
"That's right and that's wrong."
While adjusting the medicine, Luo Xiu pondered the questions surrounding this large-scale recruitment.
They were caught in the vortex and had to be careful, especially since they were just a tender sprout, completely insignificant to the ancient and eternal world of magic.
After Luo Xiu prepared the potion, he saw that the boiling water, which was originally white, suddenly swelled up with large bubbles after adding a small bowl of dark red potion, as if it had boiled again.
Steam rose, and the water continued to boil.
"The medicinal properties are too strong. After pouring in boiling water, the medicinal properties will slowly and evenly spread throughout the wooden tub. The first time you temper your body, you will definitely suffer. The longer you persist, the more benefits you will gain," Luo Xiu said to the group.
"Let's make a bet! Let's see who can't withstand the pain of body tempering first and jumps up first."
Liu Jingxuan was being mischievous. She walked over with her graceful figure, having shed her oversized magic robe. Her rounded body, wrapped in clothes that clung to her skin, became even more alluring.
The moment Liu Jingxuan took off her magic robe, her whole body seemed to radiate a holy glow.
"Boom"
She slowly rose up, walked to the center of the tub, and gently touched the scalding water with her toes, then her calves, and finally her body.
"Hmm! Not bad. You guys come down quickly too!"
Liu Jingxuan nodded in satisfaction, then waved to everyone. Her wet arms were smooth and shiny, and the air was filled with a strong, feminine fragrance.
"Pfft."
Two thin streams of blood flowed from Luo Xiu's nostrils. He felt a surge of heat throughout his body and walked indifferently toward a wooden tub.
"Wow, that smell is enough to make your nose bleed."
Seeing Luo Xiu approaching, Green Khan smiled.
"Don't overthink it. I just had a temporary allergic reaction because the medicine took too long to brew."
Luo Xiu whispered, barely suppressing his embarrassment.
“Who would believe that!” Green grinned.
