My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 1244: Chapter 1244: Successful Cultivation

As he spoke, Hao Shuai began to undress. Seeing Hao Shuai’s resolute decision, Xue’Er realized there was nothing she could do.

Moreover, Shuai was about to take his clothes off. Upon seeing this, Xue’Er’s face immediately turned red, and she quickly said, a bit embarrassed, "Dad, Shuai, I’m going out now. Call me when you’re done here."

After speaking, Xue’Er quickly left. Hao Shuai chuckled bitterly. Despite their relationship, Xue’Er was still so shy; it was truly rare.

As for the Medicine King, he didn’t mind. Hao Shuai was his true apprentice, and his daughter was undoubtedly betrothed to him. Since they had already been intimate, it didn’t matter much.

Once Xue’Er had left, Hao Shuai quickly took off his clothes and swiftly stepped into the Hundred Poison Bathtub.

"This is the last time I’m telling you, once you’re in, you will soon feel the torment of a hundred poisons piercing your heart and the agony of a hundred ants biting you. Are you sure you want to go down there?"

At this crucial moment, Wang Yu had to prepare Hao Shuai mentally in advance.

"Ah?"

Hao Shuai knew it would be painful, but hearing Wang Yu say this still filled him with surprise. However, with his clothes already off, it would be shameful to back down and get dressed again in fear.

Thinking of this, Hao Shuai remembered Chen Tianlong and those who had hurt him, which instantly gave him courage.

He lifted one foot to step into the Hundred Poison Bathtub. At first, he only felt a cool sensation, as if there was no feeling at all, so he stepped in with the other foot.

In truth, the Hundred Poison Potion doesn’t take effect immediately. Many toxic properties take a while to manifest. Initially, it felt no different from regular bath water.

Although the potion was a bit cold, for a man, it wasn’t a big deal.

Here we see that the Medicine King’s body refinement method is exactly the same as the method Tan Tian used on Chen Tianlong before.

It’s actually the same method, and the Medicine King is Tan Tian’s fellow apprentice, taught by the same master, so naturally, the methods are the same.

Quickly, Hao Shuai’s entire body was submerged in the potion, reaching up to his chest, or even his neck if he sat lower. At this point, the Medicine King saw that everything was in place and turned to leave, knowing he wouldn’t see any effects immediately and deciding to check back later.

After the Medicine King left, a girl in a light purple long dress peeked her head out from the cave entrance, looked at the bathtub, and seeing nothing unusual, began to tiptoe over.

Hao Shuai’s keen perception immediately sensed someone approaching, so he turned his head to look, realizing it was Xue’Er.

He smiled wryly, seeing Xue’Er’s still blushing face, feeling at a loss. Despite their closeness, this girl was still so shy. Such innocence was truly rare.

"Xue’Er, come over and chat with me. It’s dull being alone in the bathtub." Hao Shuai saw Xue’Er standing three or four meters away, hesitant to come closer, so he found an excuse to invite her over.

Xue’Er was initially shy but, hearing Hao Shuai’s call, took a deep breath and walked over. Only then did she notice that the water inside was dark, and nothing could be seen, making her less shy.

"Shuai, do you feel uncomfortable yet?" Xue’Er asked worriedly.

"Not yet. Master said that anomalies typically won’t appear for at least an hour." Hao Shuai replied calmly.

"Alright then, I’ll stay and chat with you." By now Xue’Er’s face had returned to normal.

And so, they chatted, and before they knew it, more than an hour had passed.

Just then, while they were talking happily, Hao Shuai suddenly felt something moving below him.

Soon, the sensation grew stronger, so he reached down but found nothing. Yet his body truly started to itch, and this itch came from within.

In a matter of minutes, Hao Shuai’s skin began to turn black, his face becoming patchy with black and red spots, looking quite terrifying, and he felt as if he was being bitten by countless bugs, extremely uncomfortable.

"Shuai, what’s wrong?" Seeing this, Xue’Er was startled and quickly approached, unsure of what to do.

"Xue’Er, stay back. This potion is highly poisonous, you can’t touch it." Despite his discomfort, Hao Shuai remained clear-headed and quickly stopped Xue’Er when she wanted to come over.

"But..."

Xue’Er started to say something but was interrupted by Hao Shuai.

"No buts, go get Master to take a look. Whatever you do, don’t come over." Hao Shuai clearly cared for Xue’Er greatly, unwilling to let her be harmed.

Xue’Er bit her lip, unwilling, but turned to run out, tears shimmering in her eyes.

At that moment, Hao Shuai was suffering immensely, even wishing for death. But remembering Chen Tianlong, he gritted his teeth, determined to learn this unique technique to fight him.

Moreover, his father’s mission was not yet complete; there were all sorts of things waiting for him to recapture and reclaim everything he had lost.

So, for this goal, he endured pain beyond ordinary limits. That was how the Wu Family was—for the sake of their objectives, they would stop at nothing.

Soon, Hao Shuai’s entire body began to turn red, akin to a boiled lobster.

The next moment, something even more surprising happened to Hao Shuai. Besides the pain and itch, he also began to feel hot, with the temperature increasing.

Seeing smoke slowly coming from his arms, he became afraid.

At this point, he couldn’t care less and hurriedly wanted to jump out of the Hundred Poison Bathtub. But just as he rose, he remembered the Medicine King’s words; if he gave up now, all his efforts would be wasted.

In other words, he could no longer practice the "Poison King’s Scripture" in the future.

Remembering this, Hao Shuai gritted his teeth and sat back down, beginning to channel the Star Absorption Technique Heart Method. The next moment, to his surprise, the entire bathtub began to heat up.

The black potion started to clear up, rapidly invading his body.

What was happening?

Hao Shuai was startled and quickly stopped the Heart Method, but it was already too late. The poison was relentlessly filling his body.

In fact, Hao Shuai’s Heart-Burning Divine Skill was essentially a Demon Skill that could absorb extremely toxic poisons, powerful Qi, and Evil Qi. Previously, when he activated it, it had undoubtedly accelerated his body’s absorption of the toxin, completing in just a few minutes what the Blood Medicine required forty-nine hours to accomplish.

The water in the bathtub had become exceptionally clear, indicating that the Body Refinement was complete.

Just then, the Medicine King and Xue’Er came running over. The Medicine King hurried forward to assess the situation, initially thinking Hao Shuai could no longer bear it, but upon getting closer, he noticed something odd because Hao Shuai’s face looked flushed, not showing any signs of discomfort, making him a bit puzzled.

"Shuai, what’s going on? Haven’t any anomalies started?" Seeing Hao Shuai looking perfectly normal, the Medicine King was very confused.

"No, Master, I was very uncomfortable earlier, but now I suddenly feel fine," Hao Shuai explained, unsure of what was happening.
