Chapter 9 Healing
However, Xiaoxue didn't flick her brother's heart, pretended to be happy, and said happily: "Really? That's great! Brother, then you go and boil the medicine! ”
Lin Dong nodded, grabbed the medicine bag next to him and walked into the kitchen.
After Xiaoxue waited for Lin Dong to leave, she nestled in the quilt and sobbed silently.
Two hours passed, and Lin Dong kept adjusting the flame size of the gas stove according to Xuan Lao's instructions to master the so-called heat.
Finally, the strong smell of Chinese medicine spread, Lin Dong's face showed a look of joy, and he didn't bother to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, and carefully brought the medicine jar down from the stove, as if it were some rare treasure in his hand.
Pouring the medicinal juice into the bowl, Lin Dong's face was overflowing with joy, if it worked, then today was the most pleasant day he had in more than ten years.
Helping Xiaoxue up, Lin Dong saw her somewhat red and swollen eyes at a glance, knowing that she must have been secretly crying again.
Lin Dong's nose was sour, and he said in an astringent voice: "Come to Xiaoxue, drink it quickly, if it works, my brother will be at ease!" ”
Xiaoxue nodded sensibly, took the bowl and forcibly endured the bitterness and poured the whole bowl of medicine "Gu Dong Gu Dong".
It is also miraculous to say that when the liquid medicine enters the abdomen, it turns into a hot stream and dissipates towards the meridians of the whole body, nourishing her increasingly weak body.
Lin Dong waited expectantly for Xiao Xue to tell him if this prescription was effective, but suddenly, Xiao Xue's body began to emit heat like a heat source, and Lin Dong was so shocked by the heat that he let go of his hand.
Xiaoxue fell on the bed without saying a word, without the slightest movement.
"Light snow! What happened to you? Lin Dong's face was full of horror, and he roared and threw himself at Xiaoxue.
"Stop! If you want your sister to have a problem, you go over and touch her! Xuan Lao's thunderous roar sounded in Lin Dong's mind, and he immediately felt dizzy and stopped in place.
"Xiaoxue, what's wrong?" After Xiaoxue drank the medicine, she became like this, where would Lin Dong be polite, and asked Xuan Lao angrily.
Xuan Lao didn't get angry, but smiled and said: "It's not bad, I care about my family so much, it's not bad." Don't worry, your sister has only been weak for too long to be remedied, let her rest for a night and wake up, at least three months no longer suffer from this disease. ”
Lin Dong was skeptical, but Xiao Xue's steady breathing proved that it should be fine, so he was a little relieved.
"Okay boy, it's useless for you to worry about things here, cultivate your strength as soon as possible, so that you can combine Fu and medicine and cure your sister's evil disease."
"Elder Xuan, what kind of strength do I need to help Xiaoxue cure the roots?" Lin Dong's eyes immediately became firm, and his thirst for strength was unprecedentedly strong.
"It's not high, just practice qi!" Seeing that Lin Dong had finally become interested in cultivation, Xuan Lao said with great joy.
"Then how long does it take to cultivate to the point of Qi cultivation?"
"With my help, it will take three years to practice Qi quickly, and five years to practice Qi in the slow."
However, Lin Dong was very dissatisfied with the time given by Xuan Lao, and asked anxiously: "Three or five years?" Can't it be faster? ”
"Nonsense!" Xuan Lao was furious, and said viciously: "Cultivators pay attention to laying a solid foundation, and they can become Qi cultivation in three and five years, this is already a good thing that many people dream of, and you are still not satisfied?" ”
"But what about my sister? Can she wait three or five years? He was anxious about his sister's condition, he consulted with a doctor at the beginning of the year, and according to the deterioration of Xiaoxue's body, I am afraid that he will not be able to last for a year.
"Those quacks, you don't have to pay attention to them, with the prescription I gave you, her condition will not deteriorate again, and it will get better, enough to wait for the day when you are successful in practicing qi." After Xuan Lao finished speaking, he was silent for a while, and then suddenly spoke again: "If you want to hurry, it's not impossible, finding my remaining Heaven and Earth Twin Souls can greatly increase your Qi cultivation speed, and entering Qi cultivation is just around the corner." ”
And this good thing?
Lin Dong showed a look of joy on his face, and hurriedly asked, "Elder Xuan, where are your two souls of heaven and earth?" ”
"I don't know!"
Lin Dong was immediately stunned by this answer, I don't know? Feelings are playing tricks on me!
"I'm scattered all over the place, I can only feel it when I get closer, how do you let me know where it is?" Xuan Lao's tone was a little low, Lin Dong could clearly feel his sadness, and hurriedly comforted: "Xuan Lao, don't worry, I promise, as long as Xiaoxue's illness is cured, I will definitely go all over the thousands of mountains to help you search for your soul and help you rebuild your physical body." ”
"You kid just have this heart!" Xuan Lao has been cultivating for many years, and his heart is as strong as iron, and this sadness was quickly thrown away by him, but he was very satisfied with Lin Dong's attitude, and said with a smile: "Okay, enough small talk, you hurry up and boil the medicinal liquid according to my method, and practicing Qi earlier is the right way." ”
The first time he cultivated, Lin Dong was also very looking forward to it, picking up the medicinal herbs and going straight to the kitchen, as usual, he was responsible for controlling the fire, and Xuan Lao was responsible for guiding.
Another few hours passed, and a bowl of medicinal soup with a strong sour smell was freshly baked.
"What kind of qi refining liquid is this? Why does it stink so much? This legendary immortal medicine had a strange sour smell, it was not as fragrant as Lin Dong thought in his heart, and he quickly pinched his nose and said as soon as he smelled it.
"This is a body medicine soup, although the smell is unpleasant, it is a good product for qi training, and it is better than mild, it is perfect for you!"
The liquid medicine was poured into a large wooden barrel filled with water, and a strange scene appeared in front of Lin Dong, and the clear water, which had already dropped in temperature, actually boiled again.
Moreover, the clear water also turned into a thick green liquid, and bubbles exploded on the surface of the water, and a foul smell permeated the room.
Looking at this thick liquid like boiling asphalt, the sultry heat emanates from it, burning the skin and hurting.
Lin Dong licked his dry lips, swallowed a mouthful of saliva fiercely, and hesitated, "Elder Xuan, do you really want to jump into it?" I'm afraid this temperature can cook me! ”
"Less nonsense, you have to suffer hard to become a master, this immortal cultivation is against the sky, Qi training is the first level, many people have died in this step!" Lao Dao's words made Lin Dong's heart jump for a while, and seeing that he was almost frightened, he smiled and continued: "But you have me to take care of you, you don't need to worry, but the pain of flesh and skin is inevitable, it depends on whether you dare or not!" ”
Lin Dong's face struggled, countless images flashed in his mind, he clearly realized the importance of strength to him, gritted his teeth fiercely, and jumped into the medicinal liquid.
"Ah......h
A terrible cry resounded through the sky, and the boiling water continued to burn Lin Dong's skin, making him scream wildly.
At the same time, a coolness spread from his brain to his whole body, and Lao Dao's anxious voice sounded in his head: "I don't have much spiritual energy, you must quickly familiarize yourself with the running route of the Qi Cultivation Method, otherwise, your life will be over!" ”
The old man's drinking made Lin Dong's consciousness temporarily clear, and he felt the coolness running in his body.
"Turn the aura around the whole body, accept the aura in the meridians, hold the yuan and keep one, concentrate the spirit, and restrain the medicinal power to run in the three veins of the yang stilt vein, the yin vein, and the yang vein, fast!"
Lin Dong didn't dare to think about it, according to the old way's law, he urged with all his might, this coolness could effectively alleviate the severe pain in his body, and he couldn't afford to slack off.
After an hour, two hours, and three hours, Lin Dong, who was trembling in pain, finally eased up and sat motionless in the liquid medicine. The original yellow-brown liquid in the bucket also began to slowly become clear, and finally turned into a bucket of clear water.
"Ah......h
Another shout came out of Lin Dong's mouth, and a mouthful of turbid air spit out from his mouth, shooting out three meters away, and then slowly dissipated without a trace.
Lin Dong snapped away his eyes and jumped out of the barrel, the bones on his body constantly making a "gurgling" sound. Lin Dong looked at the clenched hands happily, he could clearly feel that the thin arms contained a huge strength that he had never felt before!
His heart was unusually comfortable, and he looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and the laughter was endless for a long time.
"I know that cultivation is really happy, cultivation is a move against the sky, and the process is very dangerous. But if we don't go deep into it, how can the world know the joy of cultivating the truth? This advanced ultimate enjoyment is the greatest temptation for cultivators besides immortality. Elder Xuan laughed in Lin Dong's mind, happy that he had officially started Qi training.
Lin Dong thought it was true, the refreshing feeling of soaking in a hot spring just now made him feel like he was stuck in the clouds, which was indeed wonderful.
"Elder Xuan, what level should I be at now?" Lin Dong threw a punch with all his might, feeling the surging power in his body, at least twice as much as before, he asked proudly.
"Levels? Can your cultivation also be called a level? It's just a beginner in Qi training and a good conditioning of your weak body, and your current body is probably just a step stronger than a normal person, and it's not yet time to be proud. Feeling that Lin Dong was a little carried away because of the great increase in strength, Xuan Lao rang the alarm bell for him in a timely manner.
Sure enough, Lin Dong's face was bitter at his words, and he said with some disbelief: "Elder Xuan, was my previous health so bad?" ”
"With the help of the aura contained in my remnant soul to cast a spell, it will be so weak, what do you think?" Xuan Lao said disdainfully, but you still have to give a sweet date to a stick, otherwise it won't be beautiful if this cheap apprentice is really hit.
Xuan Lao added in a slow tone: "However, don't be presumptuous, after the introduction of Qi training, as long as you insist on exercising, plus the medicinal bath to cleanse your body, you will soon enter the first layer of body training." At that time, the body was as tough as leather, and when you moved, you would be able to follow it with a hundred catties of strength, and the mortal warriors who were idle couldn't do much damage to you. ”
As soon as Lin Dong heard his words, he immediately became interested, and asked, "Elder Xuan, is there really a martial artist?" ”
"Of course, there are three thousand avenues, and martial arts are also one of them, but it is too difficult to enter the dao from martial arts, so it is becoming more and more declining." When Xuan Lao talked about the martial arts, he sighed and seemed to be very regretful.
"Is that martial artist powerful or cultivator powerful?" As a beginner in cultivation, Lin Dong was very concerned about the difference between strength and weakness between himself and martial artists.
"There is no difference between strength and weakness, only the difference between deep and shallow. Of course, there is another important factor, that is, the aptitude, that is, the tenacity of the meridians, which determines whether or not you can accept the infusion of aura. Martial artists are generally unable to cultivate immortals because of poor qualifications, so they change to martial arts, and those who can enter the Tao can defy the sky with one hand, and those who cannot enter the Tao can be compared with those who cultivate the truth. ”
Lin Dong understood now, it turned out that cultivators were all those with stronger qualifications than martial artists, so they had the opportunity to cultivate the truth. His face couldn't help but bloom with joy, so doesn't it indirectly show that his qualifications are very good?
He couldn't help laughing, he didn't have the slightest sense of superiority over the years, at least in terms of qualifications, he had some self-confidence.
"Elder Xuan, in this way, my qualifications are very good?"
