435: Chapter 435 The Last Stone Platform, Yu Xin's Ointment

Yu Xin recovered her senses, smiled, and shook her head.

"There is no rush for this. The Secret Realm in the Tiandu Demon Realm contains what I need. Once I obtain the items from that Secret Realm, my Cultivation Realm will surely surge by a large margin!"

She wrote.

"Is that so? That's good then."

Lin Ran smiled.

Once he had recovered sufficiently, he stood up from the wooden barrel, put on his clothes, and said:

"Alright, Yu Xin, I must go Cultivate."

Next, he strapped the Wheel of Swords to his back and faced the eighth stone platform. Even with his naked eye, he could see that the scouring force on the eighth stone platform was significantly stronger than that of the ninth.

He took a deep breath and rushed onto the eighth stone platform. His skin was instantly shredded, and in a flash, he was covered in blood and gore.

This pain was far more intense than that of the ninth stone platform!

Although he had grown numb to the scouring of the ninth stone platform, suddenly facing such greater pain made him wish for death!

"I really don't know how that old man managed to endure this back in the day!"

Lin Ran gritted his teeth and grimaced.

Fortunately, after experiencing the scouring force of the ninth stone platform, he could accept the force of the eighth, though it was painful, by gritting his teeth.

Simply put, he had begun to develop antibodies to this inhuman torture.

This was not just a tempering of his Physical Body, but also a tempering of his Dao Heart!

Lin Ran felt that if he successfully completed the trial of the nine stone platforms, his Dao Heart would be indestructible and eternal.

Facing the eighth stone platform for the first time, Lin Ran performed better than he had with the ninth; he lasted for two full days and nights before he could no longer hold on and left.

Of course, for him, it wasn't that his mind couldn't hold on, but his Physical Body couldn't.

If he continued to be scoured and washed, his Physical Body would surely collapse like a broken dam!

In the wooden hut, Yu Xin had already prepared the Divine Medicinal Bath for him.

Although the medicinal properties of the Divine Medicinal Bath were potent, they dissipated quickly, so he had to enter it as soon as it was prepared.

"Oh right, Yu Xin, I have a favor to ask. I wonder if you could agree?"

Lin Ran, soaking in the Divine Medicinal Bath, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Yu Xin.

"Speak."

Yu Xin smiled and wrote.

"In the Tiandu Demon Realm, there is a force called Heavenly God Mountain."

"I would like to ask you to send your clansmen to investigate Heavenly God Mountain, and while you are at it, investigate which force stands behind Heavenly God Mountain."

Lin Ran requested.

"No problem. I will send a message to my clansmen in a moment and have them investigate the news about Heavenly God Mountain."

Yu Xin nodded.

"In that case, many thanks."

Lin Ran smiled.

The following days were very plain.

Lin Ran's life could be described as a straight line between two points.

Every day and night, besides going to receive the scouring and washing of the Samsara Waterfall, he would return to the wooden hut to enjoy the Divine Medicinal Bath.

Although his Cultivation Realm did not improve in the slightest, the Reincarnation Origin flowing into his body was being continuously refined to enhance the Realm of his Yin-Yang Primordial Dao Ancestral Dragon.

Now, his Yin-Yang Primordial Dao Ancestral Dragon was only one step away from reaching the eighth heaven!

And now, Lin Ran had long since adapted to the scouring and washing of the first eight stone platforms and was facing the challenge of the final stone platform.

And the time that had passed was a mere two months.

In a mere two months, Lin Ran had achieved this much. If Lin Bai, who was investigating the Resurrection Immortal Sect outside, knew, he would surely drop his jaw in shock!

Back in the day, it had taken him several years to adapt to the scouring force of the first eight stone platforms, but his new Disciple had only used a mere two months!

This could no longer be called a Prodigy; this was simply a monster!

Compared to Lin Ran, he wasn't even worth calling a piece of trash!

If Lin Bai were here, his Dao Heart would likely be shaken by Lin Ran's performance!

"Wait a moment. I brought an ointment from my clan to heal Physical Body injuries. Let me apply it for you."

Yu Xin stopped Lin Ran, who was about to step into the wooden barrel, and wrote.

"Ointment?"

Lin Ran's expression was somewhat stunned, but he still stood motionless, back to Yu Xin.

The more he faced stone platforms with stronger scouring forces, the greater the damage to his Physical Body.

He had just walked onto the second stone platform, and his Physical Body was nearly collapsing; the injuries were so severe that even the Divine Medicinal Bath was somewhat insufficient.

Yu Xin naturally saw this, so she brought back a special ointment from her clan.

Yu Xin took out the ointment, gently picked up a bit with her jade fingers, and applied it to Lin Ran's body with gentle, slow movements.

The originally stinging wounds, after being coated with the bone-chilling ointment, were actually healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning to their original state.

The ointment was cold, and Yu Xin's fingers were naturally cold as well.

Feeling the delicate, silk-like movements wandering on his back, although Lin Ran did not show any waves on the surface, his heart had some subtle changes.

"Wait! Fairy Yu, this... you don't need to apply it on the front, right?"

Just as Lin Ran was enjoying Yu Xin's ointment service, his body suddenly stiffened, and he felt a wave of embarrassment.

He saw that after Yu Xin had covered his back with the ointment, she had come to his front without hesitation and was applying it with focused concentration.

You have to know, he wasn't wearing any clothes right now!

Yu Xin was breaking the rules like this; wasn't she tempting him to commit a crime?!

However, Yu Xin rolled her eyes at him and wrote helplessly: "Your Physical Body is about to collapse. If you rely solely on the medicinal effects of the Divine Medicinal Bath, I don't know how many times you'll have to soak to get better."

"Only by combining it with the ointment I brought from the clan and the Divine Medicinal Bath can your injuries recover overnight."

"Besides, I have already seen every part of your body, and clearly at that."

"I, a girl, don't mind, what are you minding?"

Lin Ran opened his mouth wide, suddenly wanting to cry but having no tears.

You don't mind?

Of course you don't mind!

I finally understand now; you, this Fairy, are clearly after my body!

What are you still caring about?!

However, Yu Xin's words were not without reason.

Now, the medicinal effect of the Divine Medicinal Bath no longer held the terror and dominance it once did for him.

To have his injuries recover overnight, he had to cooperate with Yu Xin's ointment.

Time waits for no one. In order to end this inhuman torture as soon as possible, Lin Ran stopped speaking and had to let Yu Xin do as she pleased.

But not long after, his old face flushed red, and he said with a very awkward expression: "Fairy... Fairy Yu, that... you don't need to apply it there!"

Yu Xin was angry and couldn't help but write:

"Can you be quiet? When your Revered Master handed you over to me, I had the right to take care of your safety."

"I cannot let your Physical Body have any flaws, not even on any part!"
