7: Cleaning Yu Hua!
*swoosh* Zhao Tian appeared in the bathroom and, with a soft sigh, walked to Cai Luo's bedroom.
Cai Luo turned her eyes at him and saw him sitting on the couch. "Are you going to refine a body-strengthening pill?"
Zhao Tian shook his head "Not only that, I will also refine a body cleansing pill, so it will remove those impurities in your body."
"While healing, something inside your body was hindering the light energy. This impurities must be the reason for that."
"So before strengthening your body, we need to remove the impurities."
Cai Luo grunted in pain "I don't know how these impurities entered my body; it must have been during that explosion."
Zhao Tian took the required herbs and comfortably leaned back on the couch.As he raised his arm, the herbs floated above his palm.
Cai Luo was puzzled to see his action 'Aren't pills refined in cauldrons, sitting cross-legged on the floor?'
*thirssh* Suddenly, a bright flame illuminated the herbs that were floating in his palm.
Eh? Cai Luo was startled to see this. What's he doing? Why is he burning them in his hand?
With a pained voice, she asked, "Why are you burning them?"
"Just stay silent and don't push yourself." Zhao Tian muttered as he concentrated on controlling the flames in his hand.
'Is he burning them like Incense sticks to calm my mind or something? But I couldn't smell any aroma right now.'
But after a short while, a medicinal fragrance hit her nose and she turned her head to look at Zhao Tian.
H-Huh? There, she saw the medicinal ingredients dissolving and blending into one as the flames swirled within his palm.
'W-What the? Am I watching how pills are made in 4K?' She blinked her eyes in utter shock, seeing the process.
Even though she is not an alchemist, she has lived long enough to know something about it.
She watched in wonder as ingredients dissolving and concentrating in one center were pushed by his flames.
Finally, they got concocted into a beautiful brown pill.
"That's really... great. I never knew alchemy could be done like that. How did you do that?" Cai Luo asked in wonder.
With a chuckle, Zhao Tian said, "You just need to have good control over your flames and you don't even need a cauldron."
"This is because of training." She spoke and she felt kind of insecure that she might not look womanly in his eyes.
Hm? Zhao Tian squinted his eyes, looking at the skin on her back and gently grabbed her shoulders.
Cai Luo was taken aback by the unexpected sensation of Zhao Tian's touch and quickly turned her head to face him "Um, Tian?"
Zhao Tian noticed the minute black particles above her skin and he grazed it with his fingers. "Some particles are blocking the pores on your skin." he muttered.
Cai Luo frowned upon hearing this: "It looks like there is something within the explosive."
Zhao Tian spoke "Well, they will be removed after taking the pill, so don't worry."
Cai Luo gave a faint nod, "Yeah."
Zhao Tian smiled playfully, a glint of ice energy appearing on his fingertip and Cai Luo's body shivered, feeling the sudden chill on her spine. "Y-You... bastard."
With a chuckle, Zhao Tian gave the pill to her. "Here." Cai Luo took the pill, and he left the bathroom, leaving her alone.
Cai Luo moved to the showering spot and slowly sat on the floor, gritting her teeth in pain. As she sat, she tossed the pill in her mouth.
...
Meanwhile, Zhao Tian, who just came outside, decided to visit the explosion area once again to see if he could find anything.
*swoosh* He flew through the air, quickly reaching the spot and saw that the cultivators of the government's ACL were already investigating there.
He glimpsed at the Ombudsman and as he was about to go near him, he was blocked by two men in the air.
"No one other than cultivators from ACL is allowed here." One of them spoke, looking at Zhao Tian.
"Are you in Heaven Astral Stage... You look so young." Another one spoke in wonder.
Zhao Tian narrowed his gaze, looking at them.
And one of them quickly recognized his blue eyes and gasped in shock. "Aren't you the one... who cleared that Emperor-level threat inside the city?"
The other one also realized and quickly moved away: "S-Sorry, we interrupted you."
The two men glanced at Zhao Tian, who just crossed them and murmured in amazement "He is the one who cleared that guy from Lycan Syndicate inside the city."
"He was so powerful... and I expected him to be some middle aged man... but he."
"*sigh* And here we are, still in Heaven Astral stage urghhh!"
