"..."
The silence among them was heavy. Gu yin regret voicing out her inner thoughts infront of them at this moment.
She watch those two figure stayed silent and seem to be thinking about something. She stayed seated obediently like a statue.
Since, she had enter this room. It's unknown how many time she want to cry or bolt out of the door.
But she manage to stay compose and stay in her place without moving even an inch. Suddenly, both turn there head and stare at each other.
"..."
For few minutes, she thoughts they are talking there eyes. When they... once again turn there head and put their focus on her.
"....."
Witch "little girl, your idea of merging bloodline is quite good" her heart skip a beat in excitement.
Seeker "but inheriting bloodline is very risky. One had to bear heart wrenching pain and merging two bloodline into one the pain you will be experiencing will double"
All of her excitement vanish. She took a deep breath and question in shaky voice "can I die from this" she ask anxiously.
Both nodded there head. Her heart chilled. She took couple more deep breath to calm herself down.
Gu yin "the moment I enter this room. I'm not allowed to leaved unless dead or had inherited the bloodline. Am I right"
They nodded there head. Unless someone died or had manage to inherit the bloodline. No one is allowed to leave this room.
Gu yin "so, I had to choose one and I can even die in the process" they once again nodded there head.
Gu yin "sign since, I can die from both. why not merge both bloodline" they excitedly stood up and start preparing.
The table and chair vanish, a very large bathtub made of pure white high quality jade with ancient ruins appear.
Seeker "this is special bathtub with ruins curved on it to increase the speed of absorption of an medical bath. One of my precious treasures"
He proudly puffed out his chest and boast about his treasure. Only for the witch to take out bunch of precious medical herbs.
She throw the herbs and water in the tub waiting for the bath to be prepared. Gu yin watch as she throw herbs which even with her lack of knowledge about alchemy can tell, are rare treasures.
If Gu yin know that the water in the tub is actually the precious spring water. That is made up of hundreds of thousands of condensed spiritual energy water drops.
Gu yin remove her cloth. Only to hear gasp from both figures, as they stare at the sealed wound on her waist.
With a frown the witch spoke "the process of refining your body will remove the poison.... Hopefully" she don't sound very confident.
Gu yin "what do you mean. this is not the blood essence" they pause then shook there head together.
Seeker "no this is body refining medical bath, it will strengthening your body, making your body comparable of bronze"
He explained her that even one bloodline can overwhelmed the body to the point of death, much less two bloodline. Her body needed to be refined to be able to tolerate the process or else she will die.
Gu yin nervously step inside the bathtub. First warm feeling, followed by itching sensation all over her body.
But surpringly was not very painful, only very uncomfortable. The itch at first was bearable as the time pass by.
The sensation few stronger and stronger. She want to stretch her body, but was forbidden from doing so.
It's was unknown how many hours she had to bear that itch. But the moment seeker single that she can came out.
She immediately scrambled out of the tub, with face covered in tears and snort. She look at the black sticky substance that had came out of her body with a frown.
Witch "this is the impurities that was inside your body. This medical bath specifically remove all of the hidden impurities out of one body"
Gu yin look at her wound and to her surprise. The wound had started to heal slowly, which mean the bath really had helped her to even remove the poison out of her system.
Seeker "don't be too happy, this is just one of the many bath" Gu yin face fall when she heard that.
In other words, the process of body refining had just begin. There's are still many batha she needed to do.
Witch "actually, even after all of the bath you will bearly reach 9th grade body refining stage. You need to go through lot of combats to successfully refine all of the remaining herbs properties inside your body. If you don't do that they will become problem in the future"
Gu yin lips twitch. But she's didn't said anything, after all she never even heard about body refinement techniques, much less how strong the person who practice this technique can be.
Seeker "I will give you the body refinement techniques combine with medical bath it will be quite effective"
Witch "considering your expertise also lay in close combat, it's good to learn this technique"
With that she clean herself and rest for few hours before continuing to take her second bath, which was more unbearable then the previous one.
In fact the reason why the beginner stage medical bath are so uncomfortable for her, is cause both wit h and seeker had upgrade the medical bath.
Normally, they couldn't had do it but considering she's going to inherit two bloodline, it's better for her to suffer little more now.
So, she can suffer little less during the process, with that thought they continue upgrading the bath within her tolerance range.
This is how she went through total of thirteen upgraded medical bath. The medical herbs used in the bath are precious and rare.
Not only that, even the most common herb used in her bath is atleast ten thousand years old.
Of course, she had no idea about it or else she might had faint away in shock and heartache for the waste of money.
