Shen Mignani lit a candle to her ancestors and silently muttered some prayers before stepping into the unknown waters.


    The dirty ck waters, that seemed to contain infinite terrors, suddenly emanated warmth andfort as soon as she stepped in.


    Shen Mignani soon forgot what she was in and where she was in as she basked in the luxurious divine sea of rxation.


    All her months of umted stress and tiredness vanished in a single dip. This sister of hers was really a magician when ites to herbs.


    While Mignani was happily soaking her worries away, Su Lin prepared a custom made herbal face mask for her outside, milling and grinding herbs together.


    She then walked into the room and after confirming that Mignani was in apletely rxed state with all her pores open, she carefully applied the face mask.


    The mask perfectlyplimented the herbal bath and Mignani felt her face being caressed by the same waves of luxurious warmth and rxation.


    "Woah sis, you are really going the ten miles this time around." Runyan walked in and her eyes slightly widened in surprise.


    Since she knew a fair deal about herbs and Su Lin''s special methods, she could see how expensive the ingredients were.


    Su Lin was really going all out this time around.


    "He He. Only the first five treatments are free. Then the artists have to pay for it." She grinned.


    Mignani silently rolled her eyes. You are being too modest sis!


    After a certain point, money just can''t buy something like this, unless you personally know the capable person.


    "Is everyone here?" Su Lin smiled, washing her hands after applying the face mask.


    "Yes, sis. Everyone has arrived." Runyan nodded her head.


    "Mignani, Listen. I wille back and help you out of this bath in another 5 hours. Keep soaking and rxing until then to absorb the full effects of the medicinal bath."


    The woman who had now already entered new realms of pleasure and rxation absent-mindedly nodded.


    "There are a few bottled-waters next to you if you are feeling thirsty." Su Lin attentively checked everything before leaving the room.


    Outside, the others were getting pretty restless. Whenever Su Lin gathered everybody it was never good news.


    "Master. Did something happen?" Squirrel nervously asked.


    "Did first brother knock you up?" Monkey grinned mischievously.


    "Seriously? Did I knock you up?" Luther immediately gasped as his eyebrows raised in excitement.


    Considering they have been living like orphans all their life, a family was something he wanted above everything else.


    "Oh my gosh. Ok. Enough with the guessing." Su Lin put her hands in front of her and stopped the ball from rolling any further into the crazy hemisphere.


    "Now that we have more array rocks in our possession, I can help you all perform the real body-tempering."


    "Your body will be transformed inside out and will be a suitable vessel to withstand your cultivation base."


    Su Lin quickly exined the basics of body-tempering and bone marrow purification.


    She then sent each of her students and her beloved hubby to the rooms on the upper floor of the building.


    They were simr to the ones on the ground floor, except each room had a porcin bathtub with stacks of array stones arranged on various corners in haphazard patterns.


    She had even prepared a small bath for Little white, but his bath was not going to be in the least bit painful or even tickling.


    Beasts had a much more natural affinity with spiritual energy and didn''t need to transform their body in order to bepatible.


    If Little white wanted it can take in the energy, if not, it didn''t have to. It was all up to the cute furball.


    Su Lin had simply prepared for it a rxing bath simr to Mignani''s.


    The obedient little white observed all others getting into their tub and was more than happy to get into his own small tub as well.


    It was secretly happy that it was receiving the same treatment as everyone else and looked very smug.


    Su Lin tousled the little guy''s head and slowly put him in, after checking the temperature and water level quite a few times.


    "Finally! I too get some special beauty treatments. Hmph. Master you always treat first brother and Runyan better. There is so much partiality in this group!" Monkey sulked.


    "Heh. Of course, they are the teacher''s pets." Su Lin shamelessly admitted.


    "And by the way, this is not a beauty treatment, I am warning you all beforehand, there is going to be so much pain and agony. Prepare yourself mentally."


    The atmosphere immediately turned grim as everyone''s mind quickly went back to their cultivation initiation days when it had hurt like hell.


    So if their almighty master Su Lin told that this was going to hurt, it was definitely going to hurt.


    But still, no one backed out and willingly stepped into their agonizing bath custom made and waiting for them.


    After putting thest person in, Su Lin tiptoed and nted a kiss on her dearly beloved''s forehead.


    "Sorry." She whispered in his ears. She hated that she was giving him more pain, but in the long run, this little bit of pain would definitely be worth it.


    "Mmm... Do you even have to say that? How can I stand as your equal if I don''t even do this for us?"


    Luther pulled her closer and kissed her passionately with all his heart.


    They needed about 24 hours toplete their body-tempering transformation.


    And cultivators are typically their most vulnerable at critical stages such as body-tempering, core consolidation, and golden core formation.


    So, she walked downstairs to patiently wait at reception and act as their security guard.


    As she sat down, Su Lin finally heaved a long sigh of relief.


    "What the heck? How are they guessing things so urately??" She was perplexed at Monkey''s godly skill of hitting the right spot!


    She nced ambiguously at the first floor and rubbed her stomach gently with one hand.
