Chen Daoxuan saw her take out the jade bottle from her clothes and almost blushed himself. He shook his head, trying to shake off these distracting thoughts and reminded himself, "She is your disciple after all!"
But after taking the jade bottle, feeling the warmth and the lingering milky fragrance from Leng Yanran, Chen Daoxuan couldn't help but feel a little heated... His mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts.
"Master, why are you bleeding? Master, are you okay?"
Leng Yanran, who had been keeping her head down and not meeting her Master's gaze, suddenly saw a few drops of crimson blood falling onto the ground. She was startled, forgetting about everything else, and quickly asked with concern.
"It's nothing. I drank too much enlightenment tea, so I'm a bit heated," Chen Daoxuan reassured her.
Chen Daoxuan finally regained his composure and casually wiped away the nosebleed, suppressing the heat inside his body with a thought.
"I see... It seems the Enlightenment Tea, while a divine item, shouldn't be consumed in excess.
"Even an immortal like master ended up with a nosebleed from drinking it. No wonder he had to steep the Enlightenment Tea in such a large pool, to dilute its potency.
"Certainly, Master is meticulous!"
Leng Yanran believed every word her Master said without a hint of doubt. In fact, she even praised his decision to infuse the Enlightenment Tea into the spirit pool. If Chen Daoxuan were to know her thoughts, he would be pleasantly surprised.
This disciple is sensible!
After clearing his throat to ease the awkwardness, Chen Daoxuan stopped explaining further. He opened the fragrant jade bottle in his hand, releasing a strong aroma of medicinal pills.
Taking out a marrow-cleansing pill, he casually tossed it into the spiritual pool and sealed the bottle before handing it to Leng Yanran.
Leng Yanran hesitated for a moment, but in front of her Master, she boldly put the jade bottle back where it was, making Chen Daoxuan speechless. Her method of storing pills was indeed unique.
"Master, these pills you gifted are too precious, so I can only do this to be at ease," she explained hastily.
"I see... It's fine as long as you're happy," Chen Daoxuan replied.
"Now that the spiritual liquid contains both the Enlightenment Tea and the marrow-cleansing pill, you should soak yourself in it and absorb their essence. It will undoubtedly elevate your cultivation even further."
Nodding slightly, Chen Daoxuan couldn't help but ponder, maybe in the future, he could reward her with a few more bottles of pills. But he wondered if she had enough space to store them…
Nevertheless, his disciple was indeed quite spacious, so she should be able to store a good amount!
"Huh?! Soaking myself in this spiritual pool? Isn’t it for drinking?" Hearing his words, Leng Yanran was taken aback, her adorable expression contrasting with her tall figure. "Master, you mean you want me to bathe in this pool!?"
The pool of spiritual liquid alone was already a priceless treasure. In addition, it contained the divine item that grants enlightenment, the Enlightenment Tea, and even a pill gifted by her Master for marrow-cleansing.
This pool of spiritual liquid was undoubtedly one of the most precious treasures in the world. But instead of instructing her to drink it, her Master wanted her to bathe in it!?
Isn't this a bit too extravagant!?
"Drink it? Of course not! With such a large pool, if we were to drink it, it would be enough to burst us! In the end, whether we absorb it by drinking or bathing, what's the difference?
"How could you have such an outrageous idea?"
Chen Daoxuan was taken aback by his disciple's words. How could such a large pool of spiritual liquid be meant for drinking? Both of them exchanged puzzled glances, unable to comprehend each other's thoughts.
Leng Yanran was speechless. Was her idea really that absurd? If they were to take out a small vial of this spiritual liquid and bring it to the outside world, even Return to Ruin realm or even Annihilation realm experts might fight over it.
Isn't using this precious spiritual liquid for bathing the more absurd idea, hey!?
"Don't just stand there, get in quickly," Chen Daoxuan urged, no longer wanting to dwell on this matter.
Seeing her Master's insistence, Leng Yanran dared not express any more opinions. She walked towards the edge of the pool, not minding that her Master was still standing nearby, and removed her shoes and socks.
Carefully using her crystal-clear toes, she dipped them into the spiritual liquid before stepping into the pool.
"I'll leave you to it, but it's best to bathe without clothes for better effects. Focus on your cultivation," Chen Daoxuan advised, nodding in satisfaction. He turned and left, closing the door of the hall on his way out.
With her Master gone and recalling his reminder, Leng Yanran removed her clothes by the poolside, feeling a little disheartened for some unknown reason. If her Master didn't leave, it wouldn't be that bad, she thought, and her face turned slightly flushed with the thought.
"Leng Yanran, Leng Yanran, how could you harbor such thoughts about your Master!" Chen Daoxuan scolded inwardly. "It's truly disrespectful!"
Shaking her head to clear her mind, she walked slowly towards the center of the pool.
As soon as Leng Yanran stepped into the pool, she felt an overwhelming sense of comfort, as if she were being embraced by her Master. No, wait, it was not more comfortable than being in her Master's arms.
Sitting down in the center of the pool, she immersed her entire body in the spiritual liquid, leaving only her neck and head above the surface. Even before she started her cultivation, the spiritual liquid began to cleanse her pores, and with the effect of the marrow-cleansing pill, any trace of impurity in her body was washed away.
Feeling the heaven-defying efficacy of the spiritual liquid, Leng Yanran didn't dare to waste any more time. She immediately activated the Chaos Demon Art and began to focus on her cultivation.
In no time, her expression completely calmed down, and her face showed a tranquil and serene demeanor. Unknowingly, she had entered the state of enlightenment.
This was all thanks to the Enlightenment Tea that Chen Daoxuan had sprinkled earlier. The vast amount of spiritual energy accompanied her cultivation, rapidly condensing within her Qi Sea. The pure liquid spiritual power was easily absorbed without any difficulty.
Leng Yanran's bottleneck at the Second Realm of the Transcendence Realm began to loosen.
"Tsk, having a bewitching demoness as a disciple is too dangerous," Chen Daoxuan muttered to himself. "I wonder if there were any mistakes in Yanran's cultivation. Maybe... I should take a look?"
He recalled the scene earlier that made him bleed, and couldn't help but shake his head. As someone who had unmatched power within the Heavenly Hall, he could easily peer into the scene if he wished.
"No! I, Chen Daoxuan, am a respectable Master. How can I stoop to the level of peeking at my disciple?" he chided himself.
