It had been twelve hours already, and despite consuming a recovery pill, the other party hadn't fully healed from her injuries. This was a little… way too slow!
Halting her meditation, Luo Qiqi lifted her head and replied, "My injuries are too severe… Even though I've consumed medicine, I'll still require around three days to make substantial recovery, and half a month to recover to my peak state."
She had incurred serious injuries from the previous battle, and to be able to heal within three days was already an incredible feat.
After all, recovering from one's injuries wasn't like eating, where one could speed up just because one wanted to.
Hearing that she would still require such a long period of time, Zhang Xuan frowned. "The longer we wait, the more danger we are in."
While they were currently hidden by the formation, no one could guarantee that there wouldn't be any abrupt changes, especially not in a foreign place like this. Time was a luxury for them at the moment.
Just a brief introduction to quenching
Usually, the metal would be heated to a certain degree (in ancient times, it was thought that the higher the temperature, the better the effect. It did apply for most weapons back then due to their limited technology, but that isn't exactly true) before leaving it to rapidly cool in the air or quenching fluid.
The quenching fluid could be iced water, but it could oiled water or even inert gases as well. By temperature difference, it refers to the difference in the temperature between the heated metal and the quenching fluid.
Generally, what quenching does is to make a weapon harder and less prone to deformation by strengthening the alloy.
