"Yes, sir!"
Huang Yuming dared not delay a single moment. That could cost the wolves their lives!
He could tell that Peter Pan was trying to drive Brother Gou and the wolves to the very edge of their limits and letting near death drive them into a metamorphosis.
It was an extremely risky venture but the old man appeared unfazed.
Huang Yuming got his men to strip the wolves of their clothes, then carefully place them in the tubs.
"What do we do now?"
"Pour the concoction into the tubs!"
Peter Pan pointed at the huge cauldron. The medicinal water that had just been done was still steaming hot.
"Pour the medicinal water into the tubs!" ordered Huang Yuming immediately.
A dozen wooden tubs were filled with steaming hot medicinal water within no time. The heat turned the skins of the tubs' occupants bright red!
This was no time to worry if the medicinal water might be too hot. He had to trust that Peter Pan wasn't trying to kill the wolves.
The fragrance of herbs filled the air. Peter Pan told Huang Yuming to cover the tubs with their lids and leave only their occupants' heads exposed. It looked as if they were trying to stew something.Content provided by .
He didn't ask too many questions and did exactly as what Peter Pan had told him to. It took some time before he completed everything that Peter Pan had asked of him.
The wolves had their eyes shut as they sat in the tubs and soaked their bodies in medicinal water. Everyone else stood a distance away, watching them while fretting anxiously. Yet there was nothing they could do.
Peter Pan had his hands folded behind him as he walked amongst the tubs, inspecting everyone's statuses. He would nod sometimes and frown sometimes. No one could tell if he was happy or unhappy with how the wolves were doing.
Someone opened their eyes first and grunted. He could feel his muscles ache and burn. He was going to stand up when Peter Pan whirled around and stared at him.
"Sit down!" thundered the man. "If you don't want your efforts to go down the drain, you'll bear with the pain."
Everyone began to stir awake. They all tried to stand up and get away from the scalding heat of the water but were then forced back into the tub by Peter Pan, who banned them from standing up. All their efforts would be wasted if they got up now.
"How are you going to transform yourselves if you can't even take a little pain? You're just a bunch of young punks.
Do you think it was easy to get that prescription? You were lucky that you've got me. You wouldn't have the opportunity to become stronger otherwise! Now listen to me!" he thundered. "Focus your mind and poot your energies in your core.
Moderate your breathing. Feel every cell in your body and get them to open up and absorb the essence in the medicinal water..."
The wolves listened to Peter Pan's every word and did exactly as they had been told.
They realized suddenly that the water didn't burn as much. It had cooled to a comfortable warmth. Every pore on their skin expanded suddenly!
The heat rushed in and filled their veins. It coursed through their bodies, which began to heat up.
"Focus on your breath. Focus on your heartbeat. Imagine yourself looking inside your body, your organs, your bones, your muscles, your skin and the hair on your skin..." Peter Pan's voice seemed to

possess some kind of power that slowly calmed the wolves down. They sank into a strange and mysterious state of mind.
They could sense every cell in their body and how each cell was being torn open by the potent medicinal water. The medicinal water flooded the cethand the latter was healed instantly, sealing the medicinal water inside the cell permanently.
Every cell, every organ, every muscle, bone and meridian in their body was absorbing the essence of the medicinal water and transforming themselves! Time passed slowly.
Huang Yuming and the rest dared not step away. They had ambulances and medical specialists waiting outside, ready for any emergency.
Should something unexpected happen, these medical personnel would be able to step in and provide immediate treatment.
