The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 147: Great Medicine, Marrow Training
Anyue City,
Deep underground!

The true energy around Xiahou Yajun spread out, and the colorful light illuminated the dark passage around her.

All she could see was Hao Songqing leading the way, holding a glowing gem, with half of his body underwater. Even with his martial arts skills, he was not moving very fast.

She also didn't expect, really didn't expect, that there was such a secret passage under Wenxiang Temple. She dug directly into the underground water veins and followed the water veins, which was equivalent to passing through Yunya Mountain and reaching the outside of the city.

What's more valuable is that this waterway is equipped with strict mechanisms. Once it is opened, the rear will be completely blocked and there will be no way to catch up.

In other words, this is Wenxiang Temple’s last escape route, a one-time one.

At this time, Xiahou Yajun's feeling became stronger and stronger.

She knew clearly that Zhou Wu, whom she had spent so much effort to win over and train, had nothing to do with her anymore.

She had high hopes for this deal and cooperation, but in the end, it only allowed her to escape.

She didn't want to think about whether it was worth it or not, and it didn't make any sense.

Her mind is now full of revenge. How to take revenge?
She thought of the Purifying Red Lotus Society, the Killing Immortal Palace, certain relationships within the Xuan Yue Sect, and even her sister.

If it really doesn't work, if it really doesn't work, even if she doesn't want to save face, she can go directly to her sister, but she has to cause trouble for Ba Zong!
No, it's a huge trouble!

She, Xiahou Yajun, has never been the kind of person who would keep silent after suffering a loss!

In the dark passage, under the colorful lights, her face was reflected. The gentle smile was long gone, and all that was left was distortion and madness.

The Xuan Yue Sect and its "Seven Emotions and Six Desires" are very good at manipulating other people's emotions, but correspondingly, if their emotions are boiling, they are also most likely to go to extremes.

Of course, if I have to put it another way, it would be quite appropriate.

That is, as the sages said, only women and villains are difficult to raise!

They walked in silence for an unknown amount of time before they finally reached the exit, which turned out to be the bottom of a deep pool.

After Xiahou Yajun came out of the deep pool, she looked around and found that the deep pool was actually outside Yunya Mountain, halfway up another mountain.

In terms of straight-line distance, it is definitely more than ten miles, and is out of the sensing range of the 'Thousand-mile Cicada'.

Hao Songqing twisted the water stains on the corner of his clothes and said, "If you start from here and go deep into the mountains, you should be able to avoid being tracked down by Tyrant Sect.

However, you absolutely cannot stay in Tianquan County any longer. The farther you go, the better."

"I understand. What about you?"

"Of course I have to go back. I am the chief steward of Wenxiang Temple. Where else can I be if not in Wenxiang Temple?"

"When it comes to winning people's hearts, Zhou Wu is really good at it!"

Xiahou Yajun sighed like this, looked at Hao Songqing deeply, and finally gave up some of her plans.

She turned around, tapped her toes, and disappeared into the woods.

Hao Songqing didn't breathe a sigh of relief until her figure completely disappeared. However, he didn't delay any longer. Instead, he changed direction and rushed towards Anyue City.

Only at this time can it be revealed that although Hao Songqing is not a congenital martial artist, he has also made great progress in marrow training and his strength is not weak.

However, he did not really return to Wenxiang Temple. Instead, he found a cave to live in the ruins of the former site of the Yunya Sword Sect on Yunya Mountain.

He stayed there for three full days, waiting for the matter of Wenxiang Temple to be settled before he dug out a box from somewhere in the ruins.

The box was not big, but it contained quite a lot of things. After he packed everything, he carried his luggage and went down Yunya Mountain.

He did not enter Anyue City. Anyue City was too chaotic at that time. His face was considered a celebrity, and he would get into big trouble if he showed up.

Therefore, he chose a most remote path, left Anyue City, and headed towards Xuanzhen Temple.

It goes without saying that he had to sleep in the open air along the way, and he just hoped that he could go faster and faster!

……

Xuanzhen concept,
Indoor retreat.

This is a place specially designed for cultivation, used for breakthroughs. It is a cave dug directly out of a cliff. Not only is it quiet enough inside, it can also force people to be calm and refreshed.

More importantly, there is also a man-made medicine pool!

The medicine pool is not big and can only accommodate three or five people, but there is a heating system underground, similar to a brick bed, which can maintain the water temperature.

In addition, various medicinal soups can be poured into the medicine pool for use as medicinal baths during cultivation.

At this time, Taoist Qingjing led Xu Cheng to prepare medicines and teach students at the same time.

"Why can ordinary doctors treat ordinary people, but dare not treat martial artists?

Or even if they manage to write down a prescription, it is often not accurate, either the effect is too strong or too weak? "

"The reason is that the physique of a warrior is different from that of an ordinary person. In fact, the physical resistance of warriors at different levels is very different."

"For example, there is a huge difference in physical quality between a martial artist who practices physical training and a martial artist who practices internal organs. If you use a book to give medicine, you may not be able to kill the person, but you can't expect to cure him either!"

“So, as a doctor, besides understanding the medicinal properties of various herbs and learning how to add or subtract medicine from the prescription, the most important thing is to understand the patient.
We use 'observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation' to judge the patient's physical condition and even various hidden diseases, and then adjust the dosage of the medicine."

"Let's talk about your eldest brother. His physique is so strong that to say he is indestructible, fearless of water and fire, and immune to all poisons is to underestimate him.

I felt his pulse and saw the function of his internal organs, the strength of his muscles, bones, skin and flesh, the vigor of his blood and energy, and the mighty and powerful internal strength. My old eyes were simply stunned.”

After a pause, Taoist Qing Jing looked at Xu Cheng and asked, "According to your estimation, how much Yunlong Powder does your senior brother need to practice marrow cultivation?"

Xu Cheng took one out from the bottles and cans, frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said: "At least five times that of an ordinary person. Considering the loss, five and a half times is best."

"No, if it were me, I would choose six and three times, because the medicinal properties are conflicting and you have to consider the use of other strong medicines." As he said that, the Taoist priest Qingjing took out the pottery jar, opened it, and placed a teacup closer.

He scooped six spoonfuls with a special spoon, took a little more and put it in, then poured hot water on it and stirred it evenly with the spoon.

Then he took out a bottle of black liquid and poured it into the pool.

Seven or eight bottles of water were poured in with the sound of "splashing", and the originally clear hot water turned into a turbid yellow-brown color.

Then, he threw in all kinds of strange medicines, and as they boiled, they gave off a strong herbal smell.

“It’s made of viper blood, snake bones ground into powder, and more than ten kinds of precious medicines. Although this recipe has no name, it is definitely my greatest achievement over the years.

It has the effect of burning bones and refining the body. It can completely open the gaps in the bones and absorb the medicinal effects as much as possible.

Only after absorbing the medicinal effects can the bone marrow be truly flushed with the internal force and achieve the effect of marrow training."

He turned around again, took out a gold-lacquered box and handed it to Xu Cheng, saying, "Take four more sticks of 'calming and soothing incense' and light them at the four corners of the quiet room."

Xu Cheng took it, opened it, and deftly took out four incense sticks. After lighting them, he inserted them into the four corner incense burners in the quiet room.

After a while, wisps of smoke began to drift away. They just took a small puff and felt their minds clear.

Xu Cheng asked: "Do I also need to use this 'Soul-Calming Incense' when I am training my marrow?"

“Of course, I can’t use it for marrow training, but it’s not easy to take in the other kinds of powerful medicines. The pain of burning bones can destroy the spirit, so it’s extremely important to stay calm.

Therefore, it is necessary to pair it with this fragrance.”

As they were talking, they heard footsteps. From a distance, Chu Zhou spoke up: "Master Qingjing, Second Junior Brother, haven't you arranged everything yet?"

"Okay, okay, come in!"

Chu Zhou stepped in, and was greeted by heat and fragrance, and his mind felt clear.

At this time, Taoist Qing Jing took out the last bottle of ointment and handed it over, saying, "This is the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Ointment. Take off your clothes and apply it directly to your body. Remember, don't miss any place.

Including eyelids, back, and genitals, apply evenly before entering the medicine pool. "

"it is good!"

"Big Brother, shall we go out first?"

"Go!"

Chu Zhou took the ointment, nodded, and took off his clothes.

Then, he evenly applied the 'Nine-turn Rejuvenation Cream' all over his body, and poured the cup of brewed Yunlong Powder into his mouth.

After doing all this, he walked to the center of the medicine pool, sat cross-legged, and the magic power in his body flowed out and began to circulate along specific meridians and acupoints.

Marrow training is different from other realms and can be mainly divided into two parts: first, marrow washing, and then blood transfusion.

Marrow washing is naturally the cleansing and replacement of the bone marrow, the largest hematopoietic organ in the human body. Only when the bone marrow has undergone qualitative changes can higher quality blood be produced.

This process must be completed in one go without interruption. The shorter the time, the better the effect.

Under normal circumstances, to complete the opening of meridians and break through the realm of marrow training, there is a saying of "training the marrow for a hundred days".

It is said that it takes a hundred days to completely cleanse one's bone marrow.

But this is actually the worst result. For any genius or those with the assistance of various powerful medicines, the faster the better.

The reason is that during the marrow training process, the bones themselves will be eroded by internal forces and become riddled with holes, thus causing certain damage.

Moreover, in this process, one's own combat power will be reduced to only one tenth, and fighting with others means not taking one's own life seriously.

If the 100 days are not completed, irreversible damage to the bones will occur.

Therefore, the shorter the time for marrow training, the better the effect, the smaller the impact on oneself, and the faster the recovery of combat power.

When it comes to Chu Zhou, of course all kinds of good things are used.

Yunlong powder, medicinal bath, Nine-turn rejuvenation cream, plus calming incense...

These medicines are great things that ordinary people cannot buy even if they have money, but Chu Zhou has to use them once a day.

According to his estimation, the marrow washing process should take about eight to nine days to be completed.

As soon as Chu Zhou sat down in the medicine pool, he felt the heat rising as if it was about to burn.

His muscles and skin were all loose and lacked the strength they usually had, but it was this kind of relaxation that allowed the drug to penetrate into his bones.

It can be said that Chu Zhou's bones have been tempered through thousands of hammerings, and it is not an exaggeration to say that their hardness is comparable to that of steel.

But at this moment, the effects of Yunlong Powder and the medicinal bath mixed together, and the bones seemed to be burning, as if they were roasted by a huge fire, and they were about to break inch by inch.

There was also an astonishing amount of heat spreading outward, impacting the muscles and skin, burning the surrounding medicinal liquid by several degrees.

But this is not the end. Because of the burning of bones, magic power washed into the bone marrow like a torrent.

At this moment, Chu Zhou finally understood why marrow training was also called "marrow washing"?
It's because, there really is a feeling of magical power like water, washing the bone marrow, and the numbness and soreness it brings is indescribable to outsiders!
The burning and numbness tortured Chu Zhou's nerves, making him feel as if he would rather die than be dead, but the 'Calming Incense' allowed him to remain absolutely calm.

As for the 'Nine-turn Rejuvenating Cream', the medicinal power seeps into the body little by little, nourishing the muscles, flesh, skin and bones.

This training lasted for a full hour before Chu Zhou climbed out of the medicine pool.

　The results are not as good as the previous book, but I am definitely more diligent than the previous book, and I also try hard to portray different characters...
