“Madam Yan, Young Master Lin Yun, this is my daughter Gui Yuanyuan. I plan to have her stay here. Normally, she can clean the manor’s hygiene, and she can also keep Young Master Lin Yun company,” Master Gui said.
Since Lin Yun was going to attempt recovery here, he definitely could not bring maidservants from the Lin household, lest the news leak out. Therefore, Master Gui bringing his own daughter was the most reassuring option.
“Then I shall trouble Yuanyuan. This is a small gift for our first meeting, which can also serve as a bit of remuneration for her,” Yan Shi took out a storage ring and handed it to Gui Yuanyuan.
“Yuanyuan, quickly thank Madam Yan,” Master Gui said.
“Thank you, Madam Yan,” Gui Yuanyuan hurriedly expressed her thanks.
“Madam Yan, you should go down the mountain and return to the Lin household first. Leave this place to me,” Master Gui said.
“Master Gui, then I entrust him to you,” Yan Shi exhorted.
Yan Shi then looked at Lin Yun, said a few words of encouragement to him, and afterwards went down the mountain first and left.
“Master Gui, can you now tell me your specific method?” Lin Yun had already become visibly impatient.
“My method is to make your physical constitution become powerful. Once your body becomes powerful, use the strong self-healing power of your body to restore the damage inside your body,” Master Gui said.
“So that is how it is,” Lin Yun nodded in sudden realisation, finally understanding Master Gui’s method.
“This is merely my speculation. I cannot guarantee that once your body becomes powerful, the damage inside your body will certainly be restored. If this method works, I also do not know to what extent your body needs to become powerful for it to succeed,” Master Gui said.
Master Gui continued, “Moreover, the damage in your body is severe. Wanting to strengthen your physical body is not an easy matter. You cannot directly consume great tonic heavenly materials and earthly treasures internally. You will have to endure tremendous hardship and suffer immense torment to do so, just as I said yesterday. You must use ten thousand points of pain to gamble on that one in ten thousand chance! You must think it through carefully. After paying greater effort and enduring all the hardship, there is still a very great possibility that it will not succeed!”
“Master Gui, I have already thought it through very clearly. Even if the chance is extremely slim, as long as there is a sliver of opportunity that can let me recover, that can let me continue cultivating, I am willing!” Lin Yun said resolutely, his gaze firm.
Lin Yun was very clear about how important cultivation was to him.
This was the only path to change his own future, to change his mother’s future!
“Good!” Master Gui nodded.
If it were other children of the same age saying this, Master Gui would not believe it and would only think it was childish talk.
But he had seen how diligent, hardworking, and persevering Lin Yun was.
Even during these days when Lin Yun could not cultivate, Lin Yun had never stopped practising the sword every day.
“Good, then from now on, we shall formally begin. I have already formulated the plan.”
After Master Gui’s words fell, he waved his hand and produced a wooden tub for bathing, poured water into it, added a pile of medicinal herbs, and then used internal energy to heat the water.
“Young Master Lin Yun, take off your outer clothes and get into the bath tub to soak in the medicinal bath,” Master Gui said.
Lin Yun did as instructed, stripping down to only his undergarments, then entered this wooden bath tub.
“What a comfortable feeling.”
Soaking in the medicinal bath, Lin Yun felt that all his skin was being nourished, and his entire body felt indescribably comfortable.
“These medicinal herbs can nourish your body, and they only act on the surface. They will not directly affect the inside of your body. Even if the medicinal effects that penetrate inside are already very weak, you can completely bear them,” Master Gui said.
Master Gui continued, “From today onwards, you must soak in the medicinal bath every day.”
“Yes, Master Gui,” Lin Yun nodded with a smile.
Soaking in these herbs was very comfortable, so Lin Yun did not feel it was difficult at all.
“These medicinal herbs are not cheap, and if you soak every day, over time, it will amount to a considerable sum. However, your mother gave me quite a bit of money yesterday, enough to last for a year,” Master Gui said.
After soaking in the medicinal bath for an hour, Master Gui finally let Lin Yun come out and put his clothes back on.
“Young Master Lin Yun, after soaking in the bath, your entire body has been nourished. At this time, exercising your body will have the best effect on improving it. Therefore, next, you must run from here to the top of White Horse Mountain, then run back. Remember, I am only giving you one hour,” Master Gui became serious.
Lin Yun was not surprised by Master Gui’s seriousness. Master Gui had already been Lin Yun’s master for over two years, and he was always serious when teaching.
