Relying on his thorough understanding of the "Swallowing Yuan and Marrow Replenishing Kung Fu", Li Yu spent a month practicing this health-preserving technique to the point of great perfection.
And as a result, he underwent an almost complete transformation.
His originally weak body was nourished and became full of energy, firm will, and strong muscles. Even his physical fitness was several times stronger than that of an ordinary adult.
Of course, the price was that he spent most of the more than sixty taels of silver he collected from Du Chang, and almost all of it was used by him to buy various dietary supplements and some large tonic medicinal materials.
The only disharmonious part of his body is his left arm.
On this arm, there is a ferocious blood mark.
This bloodstain was like a scarlet and strange centipede, as thick as a pigeon egg and more than a foot long. It was entangled on his arm and looked extremely hideous.
Those centipede feet are like bloodshot, squirming slightly like living creatures, which makes people shudder.
Compared with the thickness of the little finger a month ago and half a foot long, the blood mark is now obviously much larger.
Moreover, this arm was obviously drier than the other arm, with protruding veins and an unknown layer of dead gray on the skin, as if it had been taken from a corpse.
"It is urgent to become a cultivator."
Looking at the blood boil curse on his arm, Li Yu sighed.
He could feel that this arm had become extremely cold now, as if it had been soaked in ice water.
Even though he had mastered the art of swallowing Yuan and replenishing marrow to the pinnacle, and his energy and blood were as strong as a furnace, he could not dispel the cold air in this arm.
But the good thing is that the blood boil curse has suppressed it to a certain extent. At least he hasn't had any nightmares in the past two days!
This is enough to show that his guess is correct - the "Swallowing Yuan and Marrow Replenishing Technique" does have some curbing effect on the Blood Boil Yin Curse, although not much.
As for nightmares... In the past month, he has had nightmares more than ten times because of the blood boil curse.
Every time Li Yu dreams of a room.
It was a weird wedding room.
There is an exquisite and elegant screen, a carved mahogany bed, an exquisite and ornate dressing table beside the couch, an ancient bronze mirror, and a dark red dressing box.
The background of the entire room was deep and dim, with an ominous blood color faintly revealed, as if covered with a thin layer of blood-colored mist.
Beside the bed, there was a woman whose appearance she couldn't see clearly.
The woman's head is covered with a scarlet tulle hijab, she is wearing a bright red wedding dress, and her feet are wearing gold-threaded red embroidered shoes. She looks hazy and dreamlike.
The room was filled with a vague and terrifying aura, which made Li Yu instinctively tremble and fear.
It’s as if you are facing an extremely terrifying existence!
Whenever Li Yu wanted to look around, especially the woman, he would wake up from his nightmare.
The quilt will also be soaked with cold sweat, and the spirit will become depressed, the consciousness will become blurred, and vague and weird murmurs will often be uttered involuntarily.
As the number of nightmares increases, this situation becomes more and more serious.
Fortunately, now that he has mastered the art of swallowing Yuan and replenishing marrow, this situation has been alleviated. Otherwise, his current consciousness may have been replaced by something strange.
However, Li Yu has also decided to solve the blood boil curse as soon as possible, otherwise, as time goes by, it is difficult to guarantee that complications will not arise.
"Xiaoyu, are you hungry? My mother-in-law has cooked something delicious for you."
At this time, Granny Ge came over with a smile and a bowl of wontons.
Li Yu came back to his senses and hurriedly greeted her, reaching out to take the bowl, with a look of helplessness on his face: "Mother-in-law, I just finished eating, how can I get hungry so quickly?"
The old man is good at everything, except for one thing - he always feels that he is too thin and doesn't have enough to eat.
"You, now is the time to grow taller. Even though you eat a lot, you get hungry faster. Besides, can your mother-in-law harm you?"
The crutch in Granny Ge's hand made a thumping sound on the ground, and she kept urging her.
"Where are you from? I'll eat it. Isn't it okay if I eat it?"
Li Yu had nothing to do with the old lady, so he quickly responded and started eating with the bowl in hand, regardless of whether he was hungry or not.
Although she couldn't see it, just hearing the sound of Li Yu wolfing down wontons made Grandma Ge smile.
As if remembering something, Granny Ge solemnly warned:
"My dear grandson, I just take him at home when I have nothing to do these days, but I'm not allowed to go out for a walk."
Hearing this, Li Yu's heart moved and he said, "Why do you say that?"
Grandma Ge thought for a while and then whispered: "I heard the watchman next door, Old Guo Tou, said that he saw some unclean things when he was doing the watch at night."
"What! Dirty stuff?"
Hearing this, Li Yu was stunned and pretended to be panicked:
"Mother-in-law, I heard that people in our town have often disappeared over the years, and they can't be found. Could this be a ghost..."
"My little ancestor, you can't say this nonsense...it won't be good if you are overheard."
Before he finished saying the word "ghost", Granny Ge was startled and interrupted him quickly.
Li Yu had no choice but to keep silent, but his eyes deepened...
As a reborn person, he knew that these things were done by evil cultivators in the Liu family, but there was no need to tell Granny Ge about these things.
After eating and drinking, and chatting with Granny Ge for a while, Li Yu made an excuse and went out.
The neighbors were not surprised to see him.
With Granny Ge's endorsement, everyone knew that he was Granny Ge's grandson.
Of course, Li Yu's explanation to the outside world is also the same.
After all, it has been seven or eight years since the old man's grandson left. Who still remembers his true appearance?
In addition, he knew the situation of Granny Ge's family very clearly, so there would be no loopholes.
Moreover, during this period, Li Yu's behavior was noticed by some people.
He also collected medicine for Granny Ge, fetched water, and chopped firewood, doing all the work he could do.
Granny Ge was originally lonely and helpless, and felt depressed all day long.
But since Li Yu came, the smiles on the old man's face have become more and more frequent, and his energy and energy have also improved a lot.
Therefore, no one disbelieves in Li Yu's identity.
…
After walking out of the door and onto the street, the warm sunshine shone down, making people feel soothed and quiet. Li Yu walked towards the entrance of the town in a familiar way.
Now that the blood boil curse has been temporarily resolved, now is the time to implement his next plan!
At the entrance of Qingshui Town, there is a big banyan tree.
The banyan tree has lush branches and leaves, its trunk can be as thick as six or seven people hugging each other, and its crown is dense, blocking out the sky and the sun.
Under the tree, there was a dilapidated and low wooden shed. There was a shrine in the wooden shed. In addition, there was a sloppy little beggar living inside.
When passing the big banyan tree, Li Yu stopped subconsciously.
He looked at the little beggar and the banyan tree with deep eyes.
This big banyan tree has a history of more than 300 years. According to some local elders, this tree has an extraordinary origin. It was once enlightened by an immortal, so it has psychic powers.
This is a spiritual tree!
Therefore, every New Year and festival, residents in the town often spontaneously bring fruits, pastries, incense, candles and yellow paper to worship.
It seems to be just a superstitious behavior of rural people, but Li Yu knows that this legend is true!
