Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 6: Body Tempering with Medicinal Bath
"Our Jiang family's ancestor served in the army for three years and obtained a recipe for a medicinal bath. It is to mix animal blood and spiritual water for a medicinal bath to improve the body and lay a good foundation, so that one has a better chance of becoming a warrior."

Jiang Cong said with emotion: "When our ancestors first came to Funiushan, they found this sacred pond. They felt that this place was auspicious, so they stayed in Funiushan, got married and had children. Unfortunately, our ancestors never broke through the barrier in their lifetime. The medicinal bath was passed down, but no one broke through it later. By the time of our generation, there were few people and my grandfather was old. It was difficult to hunt musk deer. We couldn't even support ourselves, let alone the medicinal bath. Today, Erlang hunted two musk deer, and this came in handy."

Jiang Yue understood after hearing this.

Before he was able to hunt, it was really difficult for Jiang Cong, an elderly man, to support two children and a disabled uncle and pay hunting taxes.

No wonder they had never heard of medicinal baths before, and had never even been brought to the Stinky Vine Cave.

"Grandpa, is it difficult to become a warrior?"

Jiang Silang asked curiously.

"It's as difficult as climbing to heaven."

Jiang Cong said in a deep voice: "I heard that there are 'five barriers to becoming a warrior', namely skin, flesh, tendons, bones and blood. Only when these five barriers are broken can one become a warrior. Our ancestor never learned martial arts in his life. He spent his whole life studying with medicinal baths, but in the end he couldn't even break through the barrier of skin and died in depression."

“So difficult!”

Jiang Silang widened his eyes.

"Yes."

Jiang Cong sighed: "Not only do you need martial arts, you also need money. In Qingyang Town, if you can break through one level, you will be a well-known figure. You can easily save up a fortune and buy a mansion. If you can break through two levels, you can become a local tyrant. As for three levels, you are simply a local emperor."

"Then Third Grandfather, where can we find this so-called martial arts?"

Jiang Yue became interested.

He can directly consume time to deduce, and as long as he acquires a martial art, he can continue to add points to the deduction.

"Martial arts is the foundation of a person's life in the martial arts world. It cannot be bought even with money. It is something you can only encounter but not seek."

Old Master Jiang Cong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Master Lin in the town has broken through the three barriers. If the long-term workers and servants working in his house do not receive wages for ten years, they can get a martial arts book, or simply sign a contract to sell themselves and learn martial arts for free."

Hearing this, Jiang Yue shook his head secretly.

This is equivalent to working for the Lin family for ten years in exchange for learning a martial art, working for nothing without getting paid. This may be possible in prosperous times, but in this chaotic world with increasingly heavy taxes, it is difficult to survive.

As for signing a contract to sell oneself, that is absolutely impossible.

"Grandpa, is there any other way?"

Jiang Yue looked at the tall and thin old man.

"Join the army, make military achievements, and perhaps you can also obtain martial arts. Or you can become a disciple and learn martial arts, and you can also obtain martial arts."

Jiang Cong shook his head: "But it's too difficult."

Joining the army means risking your life. My ancestor served in the army for three years before he got such a crude recipe for medicinal bath. It was a hurdle that he had to overcome in his lifetime.

Moreover, joining the army means that Jiang Yue will not be able to play the role of a hunter to earn time, which is actually not worth the loss.

As for becoming a disciple and learning skills, there are really not many capable people in this ghost place, Qingyang Town. Moreover, in this world, the master is like a father, and the concept of inheritance of incense is extremely important, so it is not so easy to become a disciple.

"Let's take a step and see."

“Perhaps the divine seal has even more miraculous surprises.”

Jiang Yue never learned any archery or martial arts systematically. He just practiced it on his own. But didn’t it still show up on the panel?
If you use the medicated bath honestly, you never know where the medicated bath might end up on the panel.

As long as it dares to appear on the panel, Jiang Yue will make sure to give it a hard fight!

But don't let him catch you!
slam-la-

Jiang Cong scooped up the spiritual water from the pond one ladle at a time, and soon filled two wooden buckets. The deep blue water in the pond was extremely clear after being scooped out.

"go in."

Jiang Cong pointed at Jiang Yue and Silang, and it was obvious that each of them had a bucket.

puff-

Jiang Yue did not hesitate, stripped naked and jumped in, and Si Lang followed suit. Old man Jiang Cong fiddled with the stinking fart vine that covered the entrance of the cave like a curtain, making it emit a stronger stench to prevent the smell of blood from attracting wild animals.

sizzle-

He grabbed the deer's neck and began to bleed it.

As soon as the musk deer blood came into contact with the water in the bucket, it immediately began to boil and bubble. Jiang Yue felt his whole body was burning hot, as if he was cooked, but there was also something warm drilling into his body, making him feel extremely comfortable.

This warm feeling was like the warmth that seeped into his limbs after yesterday's meal, only more endless.

All the blood of the musk deer was put into Jiang Yue's bucket. Jiang Yue's whole body was red, but he could still endure it and could clearly feel the warm current flowing into his body.

This feeling is amazing.

Old man Jiang Cong pulled over another musk deer and started bleeding Silang. The water from the Lingtan pond in the bucket soon became boiling hot.

"what--"

Shiro cried out in pain.

"Hold on! Don't make any noise, or we'll be eaten by a giant insect."

Jiang Cong slapped Jiang Silang on the back of the head, causing Jiang Silang to grit his teeth and hold on tightly, his teeth almost bitten off. His skin turned red, white smoke came out of his pores, and his hair stood up.

"Tsk, Erlang is in better shape and absorbs more."

Jiang Cong looked at Jiang Yue. Jiang Yue was just red all over, but he was not in much pain, which meant that he had a very good ability to absorb the medicinal bath.

This made Jiang Cong very pleased.

It is hard to say whether Jiang Yue can become a warrior in the future, but Jiang Yue will never starve to death thanks to this mountain.

This is enough. Both children can survive on Funiu Mountain, and Jiang Cong will have no regrets in death.

"Gululu——"

The medicinal bath was bubbling and gradually calmed down from a boiling state.

The color of the medicinal bath in Jiang Yue's bucket gradually changed from red to transparent, and then turned into dirty black water with a terrible stench, which was even more smelly than the stinky fart vine.

These are all impurities in the body.

Jiang Yue jumped out of the barrel and found that his skin had become a little whiter. As for whether his strength and physique had changed, Jiang Yue estimated that there had been some changes, but the improvement was too small for him to feel it. It would probably take some time for him to see obvious results.

He scooped up a few buckets of water from the pond, washed his body, and quickly put on his clothes.

While Silang was still absorbing, Jiang Yue simply stood aside and looked at his divine seal panel.

In the martial arts column, in addition to archery and traps, there was another word that was shining with a bright light.

"what?"

Jiang Yue was stunned.

I didn’t expect that the medicinal bath would actually appear on my panel!

This medicinal bath is at level 1. If he spends time to upgrade it, can he upgrade it to level 2, 3, or even 10? Wouldn't that make it a martial art?!
The more Jiang Yue thought about it, the more excited he became, and the more he felt that the future was promising!
As long as he survives, keeps hunting in the mountains and accumulates time, he will become a legendary warrior sooner or later!
