Chapter Ninety-Six: Quenching the Body
The afternoon sun, with a bit of poisonous breath, shuttles through the gaps, and the fragrance of red sandalwood permeates the house, filling everything with emptiness.
The brilliant sunlight was shining down through the gaps in the dense window lattices, forming beams of thick and thin pillars of light, illuminating the Doujitang.
In the Douji Hall, a young man was lying on the ground naked, and around him, there was a pool of water.
The boy faced the ceiling with his eyes slightly closed, and the rapid sound that came from his snort seemed to be tired.
After such a long time, the young man with his eyes slightly closed took a deep breath, and then exhaled a mouthful of turbid air before slowly opening his eyes.
"Quack..."
The boy touched his stomach with his hand, and a feeling of hunger came over him.
"What time is this?" asked the boy muttering to himself, glancing up at the window.
At this time, there was another croaking sound in the stomach.
The boy smiled and got up from the ground.
He stepped aside, picked up his shirt, and suddenly realized that it was already soaked and could no longer be worn.
The young man twisted it with his hand, put it on his body, and then went straight to the Doujitang outsider...
"Young Master, I have prepared the hot water you wanted. ”
In the east wing of Yefu, in a simplely furnished room, a middle-aged man shouted to a teenager.
"Thank you, Uncle Liang. ”
The young man said and walked in the direction of the middle-aged man.
"The young master is polite. The middle-aged man who was called Liangbo by the young man smiled and continued, "Let's see if the water temperature is suitable." ”
The boy stretched out his hand and tried it, then nodded, "Just right." ”
Hearing this, Liang Bo smiled, and then said: "Then Liang Bo went to wait outside, if there is something wrong with Young Master Xingchen, remember to say hello." ”
"Hmm. Ye Xingchen nodded lightly.
Liang Bo didn't say anything more, stepped back and gently closed the door, and walked straight towards the courtyard outside...
Ye Xingchen walked to the wooden basin, stared at it for a moment, and then wiped the ring on his hand, and a jade bottle the size of a thumb appeared in his hand.
Ye Xingchen clenched the jade bottle in his hand, and the training during the day made him understand how important a good physique was.
At this point, he is also preparing to perform a second quenching to further improve his physical functions.
Yes, as a righteous qi cultivator, when you cultivate to a certain level, you have extremely high requirements for the muscles, veins, and organs of the human body.
The way of cultivation is not overnight, he must lay a solid and solid foundation for himself, otherwise, even if he gets a strong martial arts fighting skill in the future, he can only sigh.
After a moment of dark anger, Ye Xingchen slowly poured the foundation building spiritual liquid given by Kui Yajue in his hand into the wooden basin, and then took out some medicinal materials from the ring that he had not used up when he was quenching his body last time and threw them in.
After doing this, Ye Xingchen's clothes were untied, his feet stepped on the ground, his body rose into the air, his clothes were still falling in the air, and he himself had fallen into the wooden basin.
Ye Xingchen didn't stop for anything, his hands changed, and a cultivation seal knot was formed in front of him, and then his eyes were closed, and he had already entered a state of cultivation.
The weak moonlight, through the window, shone obliquely on the naked emaciated young figure in the wooden basin.
The breeze blew, and the slightest ripples rippled in the wooden basin, and the medicinal herbs floating in the water also rippled slightly.
After Ye Xingchen entered the cultivation state, it had already been half a ring, and the originally warm water liquid had also become piercing.
The pale green water stained the skin that was not thick, and a trace of gentle energy was also quietly infiltrating into Ye Xingchen's body along the slightly open pores of his body, slowly washing every part of his body, while constantly strengthening his weak body.
With the experience of quenching his body last time, this time, Ye Xingchen is already like a fish in water, and there is no longer the slightest pain, while breathing is stable and orderly, his face has always maintained a gentle and full color.
Time is flowing, and quenching is ongoing.
The weak moonlight, as the night deepened, also chose to hide back into the clouds.
In the courtyard, Liang Bo glanced up at the night sky, and then turned his eyes to look at the house, a smile appeared on his face, for Ye Xingchen to go home this time, and resume his cultivation, he was really happy, that kind of happiness, just like seeing his own child become a child.
He watched Ye Xingchen grow up, took care of Ye Xingchen's diet and daily life, and when he got along day and night, the relationship between his servant and master gradually became a kind of family affection, an emotion that did not need to be thickly spoken, but there were thousands of words that he wanted to say but could not say.
At this moment, there was a slight noise in the room, and Liangbo wanted to ask out loud, but he was quickly covered by his own hand, and then blamed himself in his heart.
That's right, he almost made a mistake because of his recklessness.
The reason why I say this is because the great taboo of cultivators is that if someone suddenly breaks into the cultivation state, even if it is an ordinary voice, it may lose all the achievements made by it, and even worse, lose the cultivation.
Thinking of this, while congratulating himself for not doing anything stupid, Liangbo scolded fiercely in his heart.
Out of concern for Ye Xingchen, Liangbo still walked lightly towards the window.
Through the window, looking at Ye Xingchen, who was sitting quietly in the wooden basin with a gentle face, Liang Bo carefully observed for a long time before retreating to the courtyard with confidence.
"Whew..."
Liang Bo was relieved and let out a long breath.
"The young master has been in retreat for a long time. ”
Liangbo whispered, raised his eyes and looked at the night sky, at this time, not to mention the moon like silver threads, even the scattered stars were hiding in the clouds, and the sky was as black as ink, without any starlight.
The breeze blows, and it is summer at the same time, which still makes people feel a little cool.
However, Liangbo did not choose to go back to the room, but still chose to wait in the courtyard.
Time is like sand between fingers, quietly flowing.
And the thin body that stood in the dark night did not move at all.
"Twitter..."
In the trees in the courtyard, the chirping of birds sounded.
Liang Bo slowly opened his eyes, and found that the light of dawn had lifted the light veil of night, and spit out the brilliant morning light.
"Is it dawn?"
Liangbo muttered for no reason, then turned to look inside the house, and after finding that there was nothing unusual, he chose to continue to wait.
And inside the house, Ye Xingchen in the wooden basin was still absorbing the medicinal power of the medicinal herbs in the water.
However, the originally turbid water has become clear at this time, and the energy in it has also become a little thin.
At this moment, Ye Xingchen suddenly smiled, the seal knot in his hand changed, and his lips moved slightly, that is, he entered the absorption of the surrounding energy again.
When the good man outside the house heard this, he hurriedly walked lightly towards the window...
Through the window, as far as the eye could see, I saw that the water in the wooden basin had begun to rotate wildly with Ye Xingchen as the center, and gradually converged to the center in a vortex shape, and Ye Xingchen's body was also rotating at this time.
Seeing this scene, Liang Bo was shocked in his heart, he himself was also a righteous qi cultivator, but he had never encountered a situation like Ye Xingchen now.
When he was surprised, in the wooden basin, the water liquid that swirled wildly gradually formed a column of water, enveloping Ye Xingchen inside.
However, before he could react in a panic, he heard a bang, and the water had burst open, splashing in all directions, and a wave of water hit the window of the house where he was standing.
"Young Master..."
Liang Bo didn't have time to pay attention to the water that hit him, and ran directly towards the house...
"Uncle Liang, I'm sorry, I accidentally trapped you and made you soaking wet. Ye Xingchen looked at the good uncle who was covered in water and a little unkempt, scratched his head, and smiled awkwardly.
Compared with Ye Xingchen's relaxed expression, Liangbo asked with a worried face, "Is the young master okay?"
Ye Xingchen spread out his arms and shrugged his shoulders.
Seeing this, Liang Bo breathed a sigh of relief, brushed the hair on his cheeks with his hand, and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
"Alas!"
Ye Xingchen sighed softly.
"Huh?" Liang Bo was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "What's wrong with the young master?"
Ye Xingchen pursed his lips, shook his head with some regret and said, "I thought I would be able to raise my righteous qi to the eighth level this time, but I don't want to, but in the end, it was a little worse." ”
Hearing this, Liang Bo was dumbfounded, and instantly stared at Ye Xingchen with a kind of monster look, Ye Xingchen's words made him feel a wave of horror in his heart, "Three months have sevenfold righteousness, and now it is impacting the eighth, is this still a human thing?"
Looking at the surprised uncle on his face, Ye Xingchen smiled, didn't say much, turned around and walked to the side, picked up the clothes prepared in advance and put them on.
After a while, Ye Xingchen walked up to Uncle Liang and said with a smile: "Uncle Liang, you have always served Chen'er, let Chen'er prepare a hot water for you today, so that you can take a hot bath." ”
Hearing this, Liangbo came back to his senses from his stunned and stammered: "Okay... Well..."
And Ye Xingchen, when he finished saying that, had already gone to the side room to prepare hot water...
