In the east wing of the small courtyard, white steam is steaming, and a strong medicinal smell rolls in.
Chu Li and Xueling usually take baths here.
A wooden barrel as tall as one person was erected in the house. Under the barrel was a stone stove. Xueling, wearing white clothes, squatted in front of the stove, adding firewood from time to time, her back and hips bent into a graceful curve.
The firewood burned blazingly, crackling from time to time, white gas came out of the barrel, and the smell of medicine quickly filled the house.
This wooden barrel is exquisitely made. An iron plate is added to the bottom of the barrel. There is a foot of water between the iron plate and the bottom of the barrel. The hot water is used to heat the barrel and keep the temperature of the concoction in the barrel from being too high.
Hot but not too cold.
"Squeak..." Chu Li opened the door and came in.
He shrugged his nose and nodded with satisfaction: "Looks like you've had a good time, let's get started!"
Xueling stood up and walked out.
Chu Li smiled and said: "Where to go?"
"I'll go out first." Xueling blushed and said, "You have to take off your clothes."
Chu Li found it interesting to see her shy look. She couldn't stand the cold and proud airs and was still too thin-skinned.
Xueling hurriedly turned around and hurried out, not daring to look at Chu Li.
Chu Li shook his head. He came from the modern world and was not so sensitive to naked bodies. The atmosphere in this world was more conservative. It was a big deal to expose your shoulders.
Chu Li took off his clothes and jumped into the barrel, grinning. It was hot and numb, and the hot concoction turned into needles, pricking his skin continuously, and became more and more severe.
This is much more powerful than a stick, it is pervasive and everywhere.
He stimulated the Vajra Due magic power and mind method, activated the Great Round Mirror Wisdom, and clearly saw the changes in the skin and muscles. With the combined force of the concoction and the mind method, they became more and more fine and elastic.
Time passed slowly, the concoction in the barrel kept scalding, and the matches under the stove burned out, but the concoction still maintained its temperature and cooled down very slowly.
A dense layer of sweat broke out on Chu Li's forehead, and traces of impurities seeped out from his pores.
After an unknown amount of time, Chu Li opened his eyes: "Xueling, come in."
Xueling responded outside the room: "Have you finished soaking?"
"Well, come in."
Xueling pushed the door open and lowered her head to come in. She picked up a wooden bucket next to her and went to the pot. The hot water was already boiling in the pot. She poured the hot water into the bucket, mixed it with a bucket of cold water, adjusted the water temperature, and soon it was ready again.
I went out and was blushing from beginning to end.
Chu Li turned over and jumped into the bucket of water, rinsed his body, wiped it clean, put on a green shirt, left the room, and came to the small pavilion.
Xueling made tea and served it.
Chu Li played with the white jade teacup and took a sip, thoughtfully.
The effect of this medicinal bath was very good, but he found that it was far from what he expected, and its effect on the Vajradhara magic was limited.
There are nine levels of Vajra Du'e magic power, skin, flesh, tendons, veins, bones, marrow, essence, qi, spirit. The last three levels are so mysterious that almost no one can practice it. It is said that if you practice it, you will become a Buddha and your body will be immortal.
not bad.
He has profound Buddhist cultivation, and he got started very quickly. After reaching the first level of training, his skin is extremely tough and can block ordinary swords. However, the second level is stagnant and his muscles cannot reach the expected level.
Hitting with a stick is effective, but not effective to a certain extent. Medicinal baths also have some effects, but you still can't reach the second level with it.
He shook his head and sighed. It seems that he has to use the method of the Great Leiyin Temple to pass the body refining technique. Unfortunately, there is no top body refining method in the Yanwu Temple. Even if it is effective, I am afraid the effect may not be good, and the body refining surgery will cause serious complications.
It’s not small, so if you can’t practice it, don’t practice it.
Xueling stood beside him and asked softly: "Is the medicinal soup effective?"
Chu Li nodded: "Next time, instead of taking a medicated bath, just boil it into an ointment and try it on your body."
He estimated that if it could be turned into an ointment, the medicinal power would be concentrated and the effect would be a little better, so he would give it a try.
Xueling agreed.
The two of them were talking to each other, and Suru opened the door and came in. Her apricot-yellow shirt fluttered, and she sat opposite him with a faint fragrance.
"Are you looking for body-training techniques?" She took out a thin, yellowed booklet from her sleeves and handed it to Chu Li: "I got this from the young lady's secret vault, let's take a look."
Chu Li took it with a smile. The cover said "White Tiger Refining Yang Diagram" in five big characters, with gold hooks and silver strokes, and it was majestic.
"White Tiger Refining the Yang Diagram..." Chu Li slowly opened it, his expression slightly changed.
There are six pictures in total, and each picture shows a white tiger. Each white tiger has a different posture, sitting on the ground, flying in the air, walking lazily, looking ready to pounce, rolling, and galloping.
Each picture is lifelike, like a white tiger in front of him, with a fierce momentum. If he didn't have a calm mind, he would not be able to help but put it aside as soon as he opened the picture.
Xueling stood behind him and glanced curiously. His face suddenly turned pale and his whole body was numb with fear. This was an instinctive trembling and fear rooted in his blood.
After reading the six pictures, he looked up at Suru.
Suru touched her palms and smiled: "It's really awesome, I'm not scared!"
Chu Li flipped through it again, closed his eyes, and visualized it in his mind. He felt a faint power from these six lifelike pictures, so he tried to visualize it.
"Woo..." A tiger's roar sounded fiercely in my mind, and a snow-white tiger jumped into my mind and made six postures in sequence. Its astonishing momentum seemed to be real.
Suru stared at his face.
Seeing the change in Chu Li's expression, Suru knew that he had gained something. He was able to understand the secret of the White Tiger Yang Refining Diagram in such a short time. It was really amazing. He was indeed a prodigy in martial arts!
Chu Li slowly opened his eyes and found that his body was tense and filled with abundant energy, affected by the White Tiger Alchemy Yang Diagram.
Suru smiled and said: "How is it?"
"A very mysterious skill!" Chu Li nodded slowly and said, "You practice it through visualization, right?"
Suru smiled and said: "You are quite smart...this is the most top-notch secret. It is said to be a secret that was passed down from the ancient White Tiger Cave."
"White Tiger Cave..." Chu Li pondered for a moment and searched in his mind. There was no record of the White Tiger Cave. He smiled and said, "It can't be the inheritance from Nanzheng, right?"
Based on the name, he judged that it was a sect from Nanzheng.
Most of the tribes in Nanzheng are barbarians who live in deep mountains and old forests. Each tribe is often called a cave. The name Baihu Cave should be the name of a tribe in Nanzheng.
"It's from Nanzheng." Suru nodded softly: "It has been passed down for thousands of years, but it is a pity that it is extinct. No matter how strong people are, they can't stop natural disasters. It is said that a huge rock fell from the sky and the White Tiger Cave disappeared."
Chu Li nodded slowly.
The barbarian skills over there have a unique system, which is based on physical training. They are all powerful and extremely fast. However, unfortunately, most of their martial arts skills are open and close, lacking a bit of sophistication, so they do not have an overwhelming advantage.
Some people want to take advantage of its strengths, make up for its shortcomings, and become invincible in the world. Unfortunately, it is not that easy to get the best of both worlds. No one has done it so far. It is as difficult to merge as day and night, and cannot violate this law.
The Vajra Doe Magic Kung Fu of Daleiyin Temple has the shadow of the Nanman Kung Fu. After being studied by the eminent monks of the Heavenly God Realm of Daleiyin Temple, it has become a miraculous skill that can achieve physical sanctification.
ps: Thank you all for your encouragement. I am grateful and I am motivated again!
