Chapter Twenty-Eight: Medicated Baths
Han Ming's current life is extremely boring, in addition to meditating every day, he reads medical books, or takes poison and detoxification, but he enjoys it, and this feeling of constantly improving his strength is really good.
It's just that Nan'er suffered, she was only fifteen years old, and it was the time to enjoy the good years, but let her spend time in this dark cave.
Han Ming lifted her head from the book and looked at Nan'er who was sleeping on the side, Nan'er seemed to dream of something happy in her sleep, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a satisfied smile.
Han Ming took his gaze back, and he didn't know if it was day or night outside, which made him miss the sunshine outside.
After a while, Han Ming put his thoughts back and continued to immerse himself in the book in his hand.
In another cave, more than a dozen children are sitting cross-legged on a large stone platform ten zhang long, meditating with their eyes closed.
These dozen children are male and female, the male eyebrows are clear, the women's eyebrows are picturesque, and most of them are extraordinarily dressed, it is obvious that they are all young masters and young ladies from large families.
There were also more than a dozen gray-haired old men walking back and forth beside these children, as if supervising the cultivation of these children.
Most of these old men were dressed in purple clothes, and there were only two old men in yellow clothes, who held a ring ruler in their hands, and they looked more noble than the other old men.
"Okay, that's all for today's cultivation, you still have to cultivate diligently in private. An old man in a yellow shirt said slowly.
As soon as the old man in yellow said that his cultivation could be over, seven or eight teenagers immediately jumped up from the stone platform, not caring about the old man's words at all.
Although the remaining teenagers did not jump up immediately, they also immediately stood up from the stone platform and turned to leave, as if they were not interested in cultivation at all.
"Brother Yiwen, this method is useless at all, it can't cultivate any true qi at all, and now there is no one who can cultivate true qi. And not only now, but not before, my doctor said that in the past fifty years, none of them have been able to cultivate true qi. An elf-like girl wrinkled her little nose and seemed very unhappy.
"Ah, no, grandpa won't leave us here and let us practice this useless method, we were asked by grandpa, grandpa won't harm us. Zhu Yiwen frowned, as if he didn't believe much in the girl's words.
"I don't know, anyway, there is no one in this cave mansion who can cultivate true qi now. Yan Yan pouted with a pair of small lips, and her expression was very cute.
"Whatever, it's Grandpa and Grandpa Chi who let us come anyway, it must be for our good" Zhu Yiwen still believes in his grandfather very much, since it was his grandfather who asked him to come, it is not a bad thing.
In another stone room, two old men in yellow clothes sat cross-legged on a stone platform facing each other.
"You see that these young masters and young ladies are not enterprising, and they seem to be sitting on the stone platform to cultivate, but in fact, their souls don't know where to go. An old man with a hawk-nosed sighed deeply.
"Hehe, why are you bothered by this, they don't cultivate if they don't cultivate, what does it have to do with you, and besides, they can make progress in their cultivation? These five sets of methods have nothing to do with diligence or not, don't you look at the Chiyu abandonment of the Chi family, in the past two years or so, there has been less effort? The other old man poured a cup of tea slowly and handed it to the old man opposite him.
"Also, for so many years, there is really no one who has been able to rely on these five sets of magic to cultivate true qi, I just pity that the medicinal materials of those medicinal baths, each young master has five large-scale medicinal baths, and each time there are six small medicinal baths, which time is not a huge cost, but now it is good, most of them have been wasted. The eagle-nosed old man let out a long sigh and shook his head helplessly.
"After two years of medicinal baths, these young masters will become wizards of martial arts even if they are stupid, and these medicinal baths have improved their physique in martial arts, which is not too wasteful. The old man slowly picked up the tea in front of him and drank it slowly.
"Do you believe this yourself? Zhu Chiyuan lacks martial arts masters?" The eagle-nosed old man shook his head again, looked down at the tea on the stone platform, and didn't know what he was thinking.
In another, relatively simple stone room, a young man sat silently on his stone bed, meditating with his eyes closed.
This boy is Chi Yanyan's half-brother.
Chi Yu Qi had discovered the growing cool air flow in his body five days ago, and after taking a medicinal bath two days ago, his magic technique had broken through the bottleneck of the first layer, and he had directly reached the peak of the second layer, which could be described as a divine speed of cultivation.
But before Chi Yuqi was excited, he found that the cool gas in his body was useless at all, and he couldn't control the external skills he practiced at all, and his strength had not increased at all, which made Chi Yuqi wonder if he was wrong in his cultivation.
But after repeated comparisons, he was convinced that he had made no mistake in his cultivation, and that his practice and meditation were all strictly in accordance with the exercises, and there was no mistake at all!
Puzzled, he had no choice but to continue cultivating, hoping that something would change in the future.
But soon after, Chi Yuqi found that his memory had improved, his sight, smell and taste had improved, far from being comparable to before, and his meal had become larger, and he was about to catch up with the amount of food for two people.
Now that his cultivation has broken through to the second level, the amount of food has risen a lot, which makes him a little embarrassed, and he can't eat enough food every day, but he doesn't have the idea of talking to those people in charge at all, he would rather be hungry!
He knew that he was the most non-existent young master, if it weren't for the strict family rules handed down from his ancestors, he would not be qualified to practice with these young masters of the Zhu Chi family in the cave and use precious medicinal materials together!
He is very self-aware, never ostentatious, never associates with those real young masters, and does not want to associate with them, he is always like a lone wolf, wandering alone and without a sense of existence!
The hierarchy in Zhu Chiyuan is strict, and the subordinate and the master are distinct, the master is the master, and the subordinate is the subordinate, which cannot be compared.
And he is an exception, saying that he is the master of the young master, but he doesn't even have a basic personal maid, saying that he is a subordinate and has the name of a young master, and the slightly powerful subordinates in Zhu Chiyuan don't respect him very much.
Nobody asks, no one cares! He's just a superfluous being.
He clearly knows his status, but he has never resisted, and he is unwilling to fight, so he is not rare to be a young master of the Chi family!
Chiyu Qi had never thought of telling others about cultivating a cool gas, he was very wary of others, and in his heart, only his mother could make him believe in this world.
Chi Yu kept cultivating, and the cool qi in his body was also growing at an astonishing rate.
On the other side of the mountain, Hua Lao was standing on a bluestone slab with his hands behind his back, his face full of kindness, and he looked like a benevolent teacher.
Han Ming stood opposite Hua Lao with his hands tied, with a respectful face, he would not be deceived by Hua Lao's current appearance, he clearly knew that Hua Lao would turn his face and deny people at any time.
Behind Han Ming was still standing Nan'er, dressed in emerald green clothes, like a blooming green lotus, revealing a weak beauty all over her body.
"This geocentric hot spring can more effectively promote the utilization of medicinal properties in your body, so you can prepare it. Hua Lao pointed to a pool of spring water behind him.
Han Ming took a step forward, and only then did he have the opportunity to take a good look at this hot spring, the area of the spring water was not large, only half a zhang wide, and it was gurgling and bubbling outside.
The hot spring water is not too deep, the whole is green, and it exudes the fragrance of grass and trees for a while, and a fishy smell for a while, and I don't know what is being put inside.
Han Ming immediately took off his clothes, he knew what he needed to do now, although he was now immune to white yellow bile, he still had to stimulate the fusion of medicinal properties and blood in his body.
"Strip naked!" Hua Lao smiled at Han Ming.
Looking at Nan'er behind him, Han Ming hesitated for a moment, but then began to take it off.
Nan'er was stunned for a moment, but then reacted, her face turned red with shame for a moment, like a ripe apple, and she immediately covered her eyes and turned away.
Hua Lao unfolded the medicine sac in his hand, took out one silver needle after another and pierced Han Ming's body, but these silver needles did not all penetrate into Han Ming's flesh and blood, so after a while, Han Ming's body was cold and shining.
"It's like a hedgehog. Han Ming laughed at himself in his heart.
Han Ming went directly into the hot spring after Hua Lao finished pricking the needle, and before he entered the hot spring, Han Ming felt a tingling pain in the places where the silver needles were pierced, as if there were many ants biting, but this pain was far less than one-twelfth of the pain when he poisoned the poison of the imperial grass, so he could still bear it.
"This hot spring in the center of the earth was originally an excellent treasure place, and counting the various precious medicinal materials I added later, this spring water is many times stronger than their medicinal bath, and if you practice well, you will definitely be able to lay a solid foundation for martial arts, you can make good use of it here." Hua Lao touched the snow-white beard on his chest, looked at Han Ming with kindness in his eyes, and then turned to leave.
Han Ming felt a stream of medicinal power burrow down the silver needle into his body, and this medicinal power scurried through his meridians, constantly stimulating his blood.
During the whole process, Han Ming's blood seemed to be boiling, and the pain was abnormal, but he always gritted his teeth and endured it without screaming.
However, after waiting for a while, Han Ming felt that the pain in his body was much less, and he guessed that it should be the numb boiling powder given by Hua Lao that played a role.
Han Ming had always been a little confused in his heart, Hua Lao was indeed benevolent when there was no green in his eyes, but when Hua Lao had more green in his eyes, he became cold and abnormal.
Now Han Ming has read a lot of medical books, but he didn't find a similar disease, and in the end he had to think that Hua Lao was a little mentally ill, similar to schizophrenia.
About an hour later, the spring water in the Earth Fire Hot Spring turned from green to milky white, and Han Ming's whole body turned red.
Han Ming ran Na Yuan Gong, and after the True Qi ran for a week, he found that the blood in his body was no longer boiling, and he knew that Hua Lao's desired goal had been achieved, and now he was completely immune to white and yellow bile, and his blood had also become the antidote to white and yellow bile.
Next, it was up to Han Ming to refine his blood medicinal properties by himself, he hadn't thought of using Na Yuan Gong or Invisible Sword Duel to refine these medicinal properties at all, there was nothing more important in his heart than the Nameless Oral Duel, and now his Nameless Oral Duel had reached the peak of the second layer, and he was only one step away from breaking through.
Han Ming quickly used his nameless mouth to refine the medicinal properties in his body, so that the cool gas in his body was also running rapidly and growing continuously.
Nan'er had already turned around at this time, and now that Han Ming's whole body was immersed in milky white spring water, there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
Nan'er sat bored on the bluestone slab, fiddling with her index fingers, lowering her head and not knowing what she was thinking.
I don't know how long it took, Han Ming's originally closed eyes suddenly opened, his eyes were full of ecstasy, which was completely different from his usual calm expression.
Han Ming ran the Nameless Verbal Decisive again, and he was finally convinced that he had broken through the second layer of the Anonymous Verbal Dueling and officially stepped into the third layer, how could this make him not ecstatic.
Han Ming immediately sat down cross-legged and consolidated his cultivation, he didn't want the cultivation that he had managed to break through with great difficulty falling down unexpectedly, and the oolong would make a big fuss. Soon after, Han Ming completely refined the medicinal properties in his body, and also completely consolidated his cultivation.
At this time, Han Ming was in a good mood, so he simply stayed in this hot spring and didn't leave, he had patronized his cultivation before, but he didn't have time to enjoy this hot spring, and now he felt that it was really a very pleasant thing to soak in the hot spring here.
