Luo Kai followed Lady Hua to the bathroom, where there was a large wooden tub. The light green liquid in the tub emitted a strong medicinal smell, mixed with Zi Lan's unique fragrance. Lady Hua took out a perfume bottle and dripped a few drops of the clear liquid into the tub, making the fragrance even stronger. She then said, "You must relax your body and mind when taking the medicinal bath, so that the medicinal effect can be maximized."
Luo Kai nodded. After Lady Hua left, he took off his clothes and jumped into the tub. The intoxicating fragrance wrapped around him and seeped into his skin cells, followed by a stream of heat.
The fragrance seemed to have a calming effect, making people subconsciously want to sleep. Luo Kai opened his pores to the maximum, moaned comfortably, and then fell asleep. In his sleep, there seemed to be people going in and out of the bathroom, but they were not hostile, so his body's warning system did not wake him up.
He slept like a drowsy night, and when he woke up, it was already the next day. Luo Kai only felt a hundred times more energetic, and his internal organs had become strong again, but he still seemed to be a little short of his peak state. Now, he seemed to have only recovered to 70% of his peak state.
The light green liquid in the tub had become clear and bright, and the charming fragrance had disappeared. Luo Kai jumped out of the tub and saw a mirror next to it.
The person in the mirror made him a little stunned. The scars on his body had disappeared, even the scar with 9527 on his chest was gone. Hair had grown out of his bald head overnight, and his body was more well-proportioned. The new skin was as white and delicate as an egg shell. He was completely different from his previous dark and skinny self, as if he was a completely different person.
His facial features had not changed much from before, but the lines had become more angular. His eyebrows were like sharp swords, and his eyes were like stars. He looked like a character in a manga, and it was difficult to have such a face shape in reality. Luo Kai could not help but touch his cheeks and murmured, "Damn, I've really become a pretty boy!"
There was a new set of clothes on the sink next to him, including underwear, jacket, and shirt. There was also a pair of leather shoes on the floor. Luo Kai could not help but feel a sense of home. He tried it on and found that it fit him very well. He opened the bathroom door. Lady Hua was in the courtyard tending to a vegetable field, but Yang Qing was nowhere to be seen.
Lady Hua looked at him with her cloudy eyes and nodded with satisfaction, "Young man, you look very energetic."
After one night, the wrinkles on Lady Hua's face became even thicker, and her figure seemed to have become more haggard. The blooming flower of Zi Lan only had a few petals left, and it looked somewhat listless.
Luo Kai was very puzzled. He walked up to her and asked, "Granny, what happened to Zi Lan?"
Lady Hua stood up and sighed, "In order to heal you, Zi Lan consumed a lot of essence energy. Originally, she could have held on for a few more years, but now I think it's going to be very difficult!"
Luo Kai felt very uncomfortable. He hated owing people things. He said softly, "Thank you, Granny. Is Zi Lan your Elemental Essence?"
Lady Hua was somewhat surprised, "Oh, you even know about Elemental Essences. It seems that you have experienced a lot during this period. That's right, Zi Lan is my Elemental Essence. We Wood Elementalists are different from other Elementalists. The Elemental Essences we cultivate are plants. Plants have a long lifespan, so they need to be passed down from generation to generation."
Luo Kai thought for a moment, then asked again, "Is Lu Qing an Elementalist?"
"Qing is not that lucky. She and Zi Lan are genetically entangled, so they are relatively close. Therefore, she has a little ability to communicate with plants. However, I will find a way to let Qing have an Elemental Affinity Constitution."
Seeing that Lady Hua had become somewhat old and senile, it was obvious that she and Zi Lan had spent a lot of energy to heal him. Luo Kai hesitated for a moment, then asked the biggest question in his heart, "Granny, why do you have to choose me?"
Lady Hua pulled Luo Kai's hand, walked to the pavilion in the courtyard, and sat down. She said, "I've already asked around about you. When I first met you, I noticed that you had a strong vitality. Obviously, your Body Technique Cultivation is very high. We Elementalists are not good at fighting, so we need to find a strong person to protect us. The second reason is also the most important one. Qing doesn't dislike you, and you are very young. You are very compatible with Qing."
Luo Kai smiled bitterly, "I'm used to being unrestrained. I'm afraid it's not a good choice."
"That's because you are still young. You will change when you have more experience."
Luo Kai scratched his crew-cut head. He really wanted to say that his mental age was not young anymore.
Lady Hua continued, "Okay, you can stay in my house from now on. I will help you recuperate. Your vitality has been overdrawn. Even I can't completely recuperate you. However, you are confident that you can live for a few more years."
Luo Kai could not refuse. He looked at the various flowers and plants in full bloom in the courtyard. There were even many white mushrooms growing in the corner. He suddenly thought of something and asked, "Granny, you should know a lot about plants. Have you ever seen a fungal organism that looks like a mushroom? This kind of fungus can spread its seeds and parasitize a human's body. Moreover, it can … it can also absorb evil energy."
Lady Hua's expression became serious. She said, "You should be talking about Soul Parasite Mushrooms. They usually only grow in mausoleums or battlefields. They can be transformed by Chaos Energy. Once they are formed, they will madly infiltrate a living being. Where did you find them?"
"Oh … in a small town. Later, I blew them up with explosives." Luo Kai lied.
"Oh, Parasite Mushrooms cannot move. This is indeed their biggest weakness."
"You just said Chaos Energy?
What's the difference between this thing and evil energy? "Luo Kai continued to ask.
"It's time to let you know some things about us Elementalists."
Lady Hua got up and returned to the house. She carried an old book and walked out. She placed it on the table and opened the title page. A hexagram pattern was engraved on it. It was very exquisite.
"A wise man of the past divided the energy that constructs the world into six types. They are time, space, light, darkness, chaos, and elements. The past and future are called the universe. The four directions are called the universe. Time and space cannot be said and are also difficult to study.
The remaining four types are the energy that people can study and use. From simple to complex, light represents purification. Darkness represents corrosion. Chaos represents disorder. Elements represent order.
It is said that the Three-Eyed Race is good at using light energy. The Abyssal Race is good at using dark energy. The Oceanic Race and Titan Race are good at using elemental energy. However, very few creatures use the Chaos Energy. This is because the Chaos Energy is violent and disorderly. It will also cause the consciousness of a living being to become violent. Evil energy is a kind of Chaos Energy. These four types of energy do not have any superiority or inferiority. It all depends on the user's level of communication with the energy.
Lady Hua looked at him deeply and said, "When you Physique Warriors reach the level of Physique Masters, you will also think of ways to communicate with these four types of energy. This is because humans have a bottleneck when it comes to physical training. However, external energy does not have a bottleneck!"
