First medicinal bath

Seeing the boiling black slurry in front of Elliot's face makes Elliot doubt himself.

"System are you sure that this is okay? It seems that I'm going to get cooked alive in there."

"Of course not, you need to wait for the temperature won't kill you first."

"Right, silly me" Fyuh to think that I need to get into boiling water is unimaginable. Won't I just go in then come out the only skeleton? That would be funny, first-person that getting system and died because getting boiled during cultivations.

"The host will go inside when the temperature lowers down into 70°C."

"What! What do you mean 70°C won't I die anyway with the temp that hot?"

"No, you won't host If you go inside boiling water maybe yes, but what you going inside is a medicine bath. While it will hurt you, the medicine effect will heal you in the process. Especially the first medicinal baths have the biggest impact on your body since you are too weak, Host will find how much the difference after you are done with it. Don't forget that your journey to the top won't be a walk in the park, it will be filled with painful and grueling cultivations."

"Ugh, you are right. It just that I don't know if I could make it or not. I guess you will need to help to push me when I'm trying to quit huh?

Alright let's do it should I go in now?"

"Not yet, the host can go inside the cauldron in 10 more minutes."

"Right. Adam does where you come from having this kind of cultivations?"

"It has master Elliot, while it's not the same stuff. The principle was the same."

"What is the difference between these methods?"

"What in my previous world has is a Nutrition solution, while it has the same level of effect. The result should be more potent with this, the reason is while you are inside your body skin would be wounded and healed over and over, while it would be painful during the whole process your resilient will be much more than the nutrition solution that only seeps slowly while the users are in the state of meditation."

"I will pretend that I didn't hear the last part of what you just said." My God! I'm in for a good dose of pain huh? should I just skip it and become just a normal person?

"Alright host, its time for you to jumps in. You won't have to worry, even you passed out from the pain. Adam will help you to keep your head afloat."

". . . . ." Seems that he doesn't have any other escape option he starts being lift by Adam to the cauldron, he could felt the heat coming from the cauldron hitting his body. With a cue from Adam Elliot get thrown inside the cauldron.

"Plung." the sound he gets thrown over.

"ASDasdasdasdasdas Arrrrrrgh!!!!" At first there is isn't so much heat, he even got the illusion of the solution is cold. But after a second pass by he could felt the burn through his whole body. He can felt the skin is charred and the feeling of pain drown his mind that he can't felt anything else. He even can't remember how long the progress was.

5 hours later Elliot begins to wake up. Seeing that he isn't inside the cauldron anymore makes him felt relieved. Remembering how much pain he needs to bear makes his whole body shakes in fear.

"System do I need to go through those kinds of pain every time I use medicinal baths?"

"The host doesn't need to be afraid of that level of pain. While the first time shocks your body from the pain, Next time host won't have to feel that much pain anymore, unless we add more potent medicine into it."

"Can we not add more items to it?" Crossing his fingers hoping the impossible from the system.

"Sure we can If you don't want to become strongest anymore. Of course, we can just stop doing this and I will search other people that have the capability to see through his dream."

"No no, don't I'm just shocked by how much pain I felt just now. So what kind of result that I get from my first medicinal bath?"

"You can check your status panel to check your body conditions"

"How come the different so big compared to before?" Compared to before this where his stats really low, makes him wonder what kind of accident he has when he was little.

While the first one the most effective with this kind of medicinal solution, The normal teenager standard is 10 points. Before, because your body having hidden injuries all over the place make you weak. Host could try to work out and compare to before."

After Elliot did his workout before he could felt that his body going to shut down from exhaustion, but right now all those exercises only make him sweat and could do so much compared to before.

"Whoa, I never felt so much energy in me." Elliot tried to clench his fist, he could felt the power that wasn't there, Then he tries to jump and sprint a little, he never felt this fast. When he dashes forward Elliot could felt how wind caresses his body.

"I guess having me taking the medicinal baths first is good even if I train my self hard, the result would be less than if I work out now huh?"

"There will be some difference, while the host could train first then use the medicinal bath after, the result would be better than this. When you train your body to the limit, The body breaks muscle and will seek the nutrients that it needs from your body, where food comes in as nutrients for your body to regenerate those broken muscles. And the medicinal baths will amplify and enhance your body in generals, such as let's try it now. The host can start testing your strength and speed first."

Without long there are 2 extra machines show up in the training room. It's a punching machine and a treadmill. Seeing the two machines pop up, Elliot's eyes gleam and the corner of his lips curve up trying his best to hold the excitement from being to obvious. Before this, all he could do was watching other people do PE at school. As he could only sit on the sideline when his classmate does exercise with each other. Maybe some girls stay with him when its the time of the month.

Walking to the treadmill he starts with a jog and slowly building his speed, he keeps running and running till all he could hear is his own heartbeat and his heavy breaths. Without him knowing the machine starts to slow down.
