The bamboo huts where the Outer Sect Disciples live aren't actually that big, so Chu Huaixu's room is really close to Xiaoxu's.
With him being like a giant furnace next door, it's certain Chu Huaixu's room gets affected, too.
To be precise, the living conditions in the Daoist Sect are honestly pretty decent—everyone gets their own standalone little villa, and the bamboo hut is a single-person dwelling.
The hut Xiaoxu lives in is basically just a utility room.
"Why am I starting Body Tempering too?"
Chu Huaixu glanced at his own body, sensing the Body Tempering Qi surging within him.
If Xu Ziqing is currently sitting smack-dab in the blazing center of the Heaven and Earth Furnace, then Chu Huaixu is more like hovering around the rim.
The Body Tempering effect isn't as strong as what Xiaoxu gets, but it's still something.
As for that burning sensation, with Chu Huaixu's pain threshold, he pretty much just ignores it.
