Cultivation Online novel Chapter 481

Chapter 481 – Body Tempering

Yu Rou and Meixiu’s eyes widened when Yuan suddenly stripped without any warnings.

Although they have seen his naked body plenty of times by now since they had to clean his body, seeing the naked body of a cripple who cannot move and seeing the naked body of a fully functional person gave two different feelings.

"B-Brother! You should’ve at least warned us that you were going to strip! There are ladies in here!" Yu Rou quickly said to him.

"Huh?" Yuan raised his eyebrows in a puzzled manner, clearly ignorant about these kinds of situations.

In his mind, some boundaries between men and women didn’t exist.

Although he has only seen one naked woman in his life— Lan Yingying, she didn’t have such a reaction when they were both naked before, so he didn’t think too much about it.

Furthermore, Yu Rou and Meixiu have seen his naked body countless times, and they have even touched it before when they had to clean his body, not to mention the number of times he bathed with Yu Rou.

Seeing Yuan’s puzzled reaction and calm demeanor, Yu Rou realized that she never really taught him common sense when it comes to things between women and men. After all, she never thought he would need this kind of knowledge, and it would also be embarrassing for her to teach someone older than her these kinds of things.

"Forget it..." Yu Rou sighed.

Sometime later, Yuan entered the bathtub and sat in the center in the lotus position.

Despite the water still at boiling point, Yuan couldn’t feel any pain, only comfort.

"I just need to cultivate and absorb the treasures in the water, right?" Yuan asked while looking at Feng Yuxiang.

"Yes." Feng Yuxiang nodded.

"Okay."

Yuan proceeded to take a deep breath before clearing his mind.

He then started cultivating.

However, the instant he started absorbing the treasure, he felt sharp pain all over his body, almost like there were swords and daggers poking his pores.

"Ah!"

Yuan cried out loud and immediately stopped absorbing the treasures, startling the people in there.

"Are you okay?" Yu Rou asked him.

"This is painful! It’s like I am being pricked by needles all over my body!" He exclaimed.

Feng Yuxiang then said in a calm voice, "I warned you that it was going to be painful, Young Master. Body tempering isn’t easy. There’s a reason why there are so few body refiners in the cultivation world compared to ordinary cultivators since many people cannot endure the pain."

"Are there any ways to lessen the pain at the very least?" Yuan asked.

Feng Yuxiang shook her head, "Unfortunately, there are no easy ways out of this. You either endure it or give up. In fact, the pain will only intensify as you continue to temper your body."

Yuan frowned when he heard this.

However, as much as he wanted to give up, he needed to get rid of the curses.

After taking a moment to calm down, Yuan tried to absorb the treasures again.

The sharp pain quickly returned, and Yuan gritted his teeth to endure the pain.
