I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 31: Reborn, Great Improvement of Internal Strength

Xie Yuan held the green fruit in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.

The gourd-shaped fruit is thin at the top and thick at the bottom, with a beautiful green color all over. It seems not to be a fruit but some kind of work of art.

"The tigers and bears wanted to take my life, but in the end, I got it. The treasures of nature belong to the virtuous."

Xie Yuan grinned:

"It looks a bit like a ginseng fruit... What kind of treasure is it?"

He pondered for a moment, considering how to use this thing.

Cooking? Preparing medicine?
But he knew nothing about it and didn't know the origin of this fruit.

It is even more impossible to go to the pharmacy to ask.

After thinking it over, I decided to just take it.

Xie Yuan wiped the fruit with his hand, and without hesitation, he picked it up and took a big bite.

The fruit is crisp when bitten but melts in your mouth.

As soon as it entered between the lips and teeth, the flesh quickly turned into juice. Xie Yuan swallowed it subconsciously and felt a coolness flowing down the esophagus and into his stomach.

A comfortable coolness spread from his stomach, and Xie Yuan felt as refreshed as if he had drunk a glass of ice water in the middle of summer. He pushed his hand forward and swallowed all the remaining fruit.

The fruit turned into a rushing green spring, which flowed from the mouth into the stomach, and then spread throughout Xie Yuan's body like a cold pond.

Xie Yuan felt like it was midsummer, and he stepped into the air-conditioned room set to 16 degrees. The air around him was cool;

It is also like jumping into a clear spring or a blue pool, the water completely submerging you, and your whole body is filled with a clear and comfortable feeling that penetrates deep into your bones.

All three thousand six hundred pores were relaxed and opened, and Xie Yuan seemed to be floating in the green lake, slowly drifting into the center of the lake, surrounded by fluorescent dots all around him.

A pool of clear water soaked him inside and out, but he didn't feel suffocated at all. The coolness was everywhere, and those sparkling spots seemed to moisten his body and mind bit by bit.

Xie Yuan slowly immersed himself in this fantasy, his consciousness sank deeper and deeper, and he gradually became unaware of the outside world.

As Xie Yuan fell asleep, the spiritual liquid transformed from the green fruit flowed through his meridians. Just as he felt, it slowly moisturized his body, seeped into his blood, seeped into his bones, and was gradually digested and absorbed by him.

……

After soaking in the green lake for an unknown amount of time, Xie Yuan reluctantly opened his eyes when he felt the coolness around him gradually weaken.

"This bath is so comfortable... Well, it's just an illusion."

He stretched and subconsciously touched his clothes, but there was no sign of them being wet.

Knowing that it was an illusion caused by the effect of the fruit, Xie Yuan exhaled and felt his mind was much clearer:
"What is the origin of this fruit? After eating it, it feels like taking a bath in a clear spring, and my whole body feels clear!

"I feel much better and have more strength... Let me take a look, ok?"

Xie Yuan stood up and took up position in the room, but he felt his hands and feet were light and flexible, and his stomach was full of energy, as if he had become a different person.

This change is much greater than the previous one when he broke through the first level of the Iron Shirt.

After blinking, numbers appeared in front of him, and then Xie Yuan's eyes widened suddenly.

[Iron Shirt·Second Level: (519/800)]

[Health-preserving Exercises·Second Level: (1108/2000)]

Not only did the wood chopping process not change much, but the progress of the Iron Shirt increased dramatically.

The Qi and blood in his chest became much stronger, and even though he didn't take the initiative to exercise his skin, his skin became stronger accordingly.

This must be the effect of the fruit's medicinal properties. Xie Yuan felt that his physical condition had improved, his body was clear inside and out, his qi and blood were sufficient, and his physical condition had greatly improved.

He is no longer a weak boy from the mountain village, but a strong and energetic martial artist!

"The problem of poor physical foundation has been completely solved! Also, this internal strength..."

The second floor?!

Xie Yuan couldn't help but blink again, and confirmed again on the "second layer" that it was not because he was too weak that caused the dizziness.

Indeed, it is not. Now we are not weak anymore.

It’s really the second floor!
The health-preserving skill directly broke through to the next level, and the progress was more than halfway! Xie Yuan felt a perceptible breath flowing in his meridians. According to the boxing manual given by the Taoist priest, it should be the internal breath, which is the sign of breaking through the first level!

His face showed excitement. He struck a stance, threw a few punches in the air, swung his arms and raised his legs, and the air could be heard making sounds of breaking wind.

"With my strength, I'm almost worthy of being a warrior!"

This fruit not only improved his physical condition, but also greatly enhanced his internal energy!
As for the health-preserving skill, I had only reached 200 points after practicing it for a full month, and there was still a long way to go before I could break through.

After eating this fruit, he directly broke through the threshold of the first level and passed the halfway point of the second level!
Such internal energy will not only increase his strength and improve his physical fitness, but will also speed up his progress in practicing external skills!

What a magical ginseng fruit!

Xie Yuan was overjoyed, feeling that his physical condition had been completely improved by the dual strengthening of his internal energy and the fruit, while his internal energy also made great progress under the medicinal power of the fruit.

Reborn!

Such a change can be called a complete transformation.

Xie Yuan was excited for a long time before he gradually calmed down.

He touched his body and felt some oil on it. His face looked as if he hadn't washed it for three days. He thought:

"In this case, shouldn't the skin be pooped black?"

The skin is constipated and it just produces some oil, which is easy to deal with.

Xie Yuan fetched some clean water to clean himself, and changed his clothes. He had returned the cotton-padded jacket to Wang Lei a long time ago, and now it was his own clothes. He still had enough money to buy two sets of clothes.

Compared to when he just woke up, he was no longer hungry or cold.

After tidying himself up, Xie Yuan opened the door and stretched out in the yard.

Comfortable!

With a click, the door of the house next door opened, and Li Lan poked her head out:
"Yuanzi? Are you in the room? You...eh, you?"

Xie Yuan looked at Li Lan's surprised expression and said puzzledly:
"What's wrong, Sister Lanhua?"

Li Lan directly stepped over the fence and touched Xie Yuan's face:
"Yuanzi, why are you whiter and more handsome? Oh, I really like you. Haven't you been in the sun for a few days?"

Xie Yuan was a little embarrassed. He dodged Li Lan's hand and went to take a look at the water tank next to him.

I didn't notice it just now, but now I realize that my home is much pleasing to the eye than before I ate the fruit.

The young man on the water surface has fair skin, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he looks full of energy. Although handsome but a little weak compared to before, his temperament has become much more upright, which naturally adds to his beauty.

Such a clean and handsome boy does not look like someone from a mountain village. Anyone would be impressed and praise him.

"Bai Gu and Yan Zu have to bow their heads when they see me."

Xie Yuan was secretly flattering himself, and then he heard Li Lan say:
"Yuanzi, I thought you were out, have you been home these days?"

Xie Yuan was somewhat puzzled:

"Didn't I just come back from hunting a bear yesterday?"

He looked up at the sun, which was setting, and he had slept until the afternoon.

Li Lan exclaimed:
"Yuanzi, wasn't it three days ago that you killed the bear?"

three days?

Xie Yuan was shocked. He had slept for so long?
But considering the efficacy of this fruit, it is normal.

And I don’t feel thirsty or hungry. This fruit is full of energy.

If the previous self only avoided starvation or freezing to death, now that I have taken the fruit, I have freed myself from the shackles of my body and can pursue more.

The most important thing is to become a warrior as soon as possible so that you won’t be bullied.

Xie Yuan thought for a moment and asked Li Lan:
"Sister Lanhua, has Brother Shitou come back recently?"

Xie Yuan felt that it was time to give his previous idea a try.
