Chapter 16: The Mute Burlak
Half an hour later, the water had cooled, and only then did Qin Sang and Ming Yue reluctantly climb out of the herbal bath.
They followed their usual routine of evening meditation and martial arts practice. By now, Qin Sang had developed a habit of returning to his room around nine to eleven at night and continuing his cultivation of the Netherworld Scripture.
After completing one cycle of the cosmic orbit, Qin Sang suddenly stopped his practice and opened his eyes, his face filled with shock.
Over the past few days, he had grown accustomed to making small progress with each session, but today was different. After just one cycle, he had achieved as much progress as he usually would in half a day!
Feeling the significantly stronger energy within him, Qin Sang quickly calmed himself and continued with the next cycle.
The second cycle brought a similarly noticeable improvement, though slightly less than the first. Qin Sang continued to control the flow of his qi, and with each passing cycle, the improvement diminished. By the ninth cycle, the progress had returned to its usual level.
After completing nine cycles, Qin Sang lay down. He was supposed to sleep for an hour to restore his energy, but he was too excited to fall asleep.
The only explanation for this sudden progress had to be the herbal bath from the night before. He hadn't expected that the old Daoist's secret recipe could not only strengthen his foundation and replenish his vitality but also enhance the effects of the Netherworld Scripture.
No wonder his master was once an imperial physician.
