After dinner, the injured soaked their body in the tub with the tonic solution Ling Li had provided for two hours. The warm, herb-infused water soothed their tired muscles, preparing their bodies for the rigorous cultivation ahead. Once they finished, they gathered in the training hall, ready to start their cultivation under their coach's guidance.
Shi Min spotted Lily hovering near the entrance, looking uncertain. "Lily, join us and learn how to cultivate your body," he called, his tone encouraging. Lily's face lit up with relief and excitement as she quickly joined the group. She had been itching to participate, feeling left out as she watched the others.
Ren and Shun were already in deep meditation when Lily arrived. She settled beside them, recalling the instructions Shi Min had given earlier. As a martial arts enthusiast, she had some understanding of cultivation, but Shi Min's guidance brought clarity to the process.
