After finishing the Four Saints Technique, Zhao Yuan climbed out of the wooden tub.
By now, the medicinal water in the tub had transformed from its original amber color to an inky black and was emitting a pungent, acrid stench.
Zhao Yuan knew this was because the toxins expelled from his body had contaminated the water. Every time he cultivated the Four Saints Technique over the past few days, he had forced out some toxins. But today, with the help of the three medicinal ingredients, the amount expelled was more than all the previous days combined. This left Zhao Yuan astonished. 'To think my body was hiding so many toxins. I wonder when I'll finally be able to purge them all.'
After getting out of the tub, Zhao Yuan had intended to rest, but as soon as he settled down, he was shocked to find that the excruciating pain, which had previously vanished, had returned. It assailed him from both inside and out, causing him unbearable agony.
