Cultivating Immortals in Two Worlds: From Qing Fu to Primordial Chaos

Chapter 5 The Bride

Four runes suddenly blossomed in the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness, and with every breath, it seemed as if the power of heaven and earth sunk into it, and then entered some meridians and acupoints deep within the limbs and bones through the circulation of the Zhoutian Heart Method, promoting the growth of small medicines and big medicines, and with every breath, all of them settled down and turned into a warm current that circulated around the body.

Yuan Xiuxiu also saw this scene and carefully observed the changes in Yang Huai's breathing.

In her eyes, she could see a layer of light red burning flames around Yang Huai that was gradually growing stronger.

That is the temperature generated by the vibration of qi and blood, cleansing the meridians.

Some of the masculine energy inside has been integrated into the vibration, which has a certain effect of calming the mind!
"I have completed a small cycle of the heavens. This speed is much faster than I thought?"

But after careful observation, she still felt surprised!
This Zhoutian method is a method for laying the foundation, specifically for increasing essence.

It runs through the twelve main meridians, including the three yin and three yang of the hands and feet, as well as some mysterious hidden acupoints. It transports the great medicine through the twelve main meridians, and then tempers the Qi and blood, fascia, and even the core organs, the yin inside and the yang outside. Completing the small circulation is actually considered to be the beginning of the path.

After this stage, your hands and feet will become light, your strength will be doubled, and some strange essence will awaken from your body.

However, most people do not have special qualifications, and it is difficult for them to awaken their essence. They can only dig out some shallow innate energy from the depths of their souls to nourish their origins.

The Great Circulation includes the eight extraordinary meridians and some mysterious acupoints that are involved in the growth of wisdom and soul.

After completing the Great Circulation, one will collect the Great Medicine to condense the essence, use the essence to create the foundation of the Tao, and the radiance of life and death will be revealed throughout the body, and one will be able to gradually enter the Tao.

However, to complete the small and large circulations, even for a gifted person, it would take several years or even more than ten years to complete.

But these long years are worth it. With such a foundation built up, even if one cannot enter the Tao, one will have a long lifespan and will have no problem living to two hundred years.

This was originally Yuan Xiuxiu's way of repaying Yang Huai.

It can be considered as repaying the favor of saving my life.

But now, Yang Huai's performance was beyond her imagination.

“However, the small Zhoutian is easy, but the big Zhoutian is not. The secret acupoints around the eight extraordinary meridians touch the vital energy, so you have to be extra careful. Even if the elixir collected by the Zhoutian Heart Method is extremely mellow, it takes time to pry open these complicated secret acupoints little by little. Unless you are born with a strong innate origin, you can only open them slowly…”

Zizi!

The temperature of Yang Huai's body was transferred along with the blood and qi, as if it had turned into a small stove. Two invisible red lights on his shoulders gradually turned from virtual to real and became brighter.

After a while, Yang Huai woke up from his intoxication.

"So hungry!"

Yang Huai suddenly felt his stomach burning with anger, his eyes turned green, and he rushed into the small kitchen on the side. Fortunately, there were still a lot of food and wine left after the wedding banquet yesterday. Yang Huai didn't care about the details and directly took some coarse grain steamed buns and wolfed them down with the cold meal.

Yuan Xiuxiu was not surprised to see this scene, but she just helped to prepare more food because she knew that these things were far from enough for Yang Huai.

In order to complete the small circulation, a large amount of tonic food is needed.

Yang Huai ate a lot in the small kitchen before he felt his hunger barely pass.

He just glanced around and suddenly became worried again, thinking to himself.

"If we continue to eat like this every day, our whole family will starve!"

In the small kitchen, most of the remaining meat dishes had been eaten up by him, leaving only some leftovers.

Yang Huai secretly thought that something was not good. He could already imagine the expressions of Yang's father and mother after they knew about this scene.

"We have to think of a way to earn more money!"

Yang Huai thought to himself.

The two of them then took advantage of the morning light to come to the main room to serve tea to Yang's father and mother.

They have been waiting here for a long time.

In the main room, Yang's father and mother wore new clothes, which was rare. The couple had smiles on their faces. Yang Huai was their eldest son, and now that their eldest son had married, how could they not be happy.

The couple looked at Yuan Xiuxiu handing tea to their daughter-in-law, and they became more and more satisfied.

After drinking the daughter-in-law's tea, Yang's father and mother started to get busy. Yang's father had other carpentry work to do, so he packed up his backpack and called Yang Huai directly.

"Yang Huai, can you lend a hand?"

"Okay! Dad!"

Yang Huai agreed readily and ran out quickly.

Yuan Xiuxiu hurriedly followed and handed over Yang Huai's shoulder bag, which was filled with various tools, including a small hammer, a small plane, a saw, an ink ruler, etc. Those were Yang Huai's livelihood tools.

Yang Huai gave him a look and muttered.

"Mom, I'm counting on you!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Xiuxiu rolled her eyes at Yang Huai and said softly.

"Just come back later!"

"My lady, what you said is absolutely true..."

Yang Huai nodded repeatedly, and immediately caught up with Old Man Yang in front of him.

Just as he walked out of the yard, Yang Huai heard a terrifying roar coming from behind him.

"Damn it, which bad guy stole my food and wine!"

There was also a lot of ugly local slang mixed in at the end, which immediately attracted the attention of many neighbors.

Hearing this, Yang Huai's pace couldn't help but quicken.

Old Man Yang was already striding towards the path outside the village, and Yang Huai hurriedly caught up with him.

Old Man Yang glanced at Yang Huai and asked.

"Yang Huai, did you hear what your mother was shouting?"

Yang Huai's face straightened when he heard this. "Nothing, probably my second brother slept in again!"

Upon hearing this, Old Man Yang immediately shook his head.

"You lazy bastard! Looks like you need to give your second brother some more responsibility!"

Hearing this, Yang Huai nodded repeatedly, thinking: "Brother, I am doing this for your own good. You will suffer for a while, and then you will become numb to it when you are familiar with it!"

The two began their daily routine of walking around the streets.

As carpenters, the main livelihood of the father and son is to repair furniture for the villagers. In the past, it was usually Old Man Yang who was responsible for the repair work, and Yang Huai served as an apprentice. But this situation changed a few years ago, and it became Old Man Yang who was responsible for taking the work, and Yang Huai was responsible for the repair work.

Yang Huai is already a well-known carpenter in several surrounding villages and towns.

Even some country gentlemen were happy to ask Yang Huai for help in custom-making furniture. The furniture he made was not only solid and durable, but also novel in style and very exquisite.

"Uncle Dayuan, are you out to take the job so early?" At this time, many villagers saw Yang Dayuan and Yang Huai, and immediately greeted them with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yang Dayuan stepped forward and started a conversation. He was a very talkative middle-aged man, and soon he received a job from a middle-aged woman who greeted him.

"Yang Huai, your eldest aunt Liu wants to customize a set of new furniture for your fifth sister Liu as a dowry, but the time may be tight, there is only half a month, are you sure?!"

He frowned and came up to Yang Huai, his expression difficult to tell whether he was happy or sad.

This is big business.

A set of new furniture must include a bed, a dressing table, a desk, tables and chairs, etc. If it can be completed, it will be enough for the father and son to splurge for a while.

Yang Huai himself can also temporarily solve the urgent problem.

This is the advantage of having a skill. Even if you don’t become rich, you will never have to worry about food and clothing.

Then Yang Dayuan said again.

"Your Fifth Sister Liu has found a perfect husband this time. She is marrying the young man from Mr. Huang's family in town. You must not let your Fifth Sister Liu lose face!"

Yang Huai's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Don't worry, Auntie, I'll take care of it!"

Yang Huai made a promise.

The middle-aged woman nodded when she heard this.

"We can certainly trust Huai'er's craftsmanship!"

After saying this, she led the Yang father and son to a small courtyard built with bluestone walls on the slope, asked them to wait for a moment, and went to withdraw the deposit first.

Seeing the woman leave, Yang Dayuan said to Yang Huai.

"Yang Huai, there is only half a month left. I'm afraid this matter is really difficult to handle?"

"Dad, don't worry, I can do this!"

Yang Huai was not worried at all. After the breakthrough in Zhou Tian Heart Method, he felt that his physical strength and endurance had increased significantly. Not to mention 996, even 007 was no problem at all.

Ordinary carpenters would get backaches after working for half a day, but he didn’t.

This is an advantage.

Yang Yuan thought about it and said.

"Well, at most we can just work harder! It won't ruin our family's reputation!"

At this time he sighed again.

"Your sister Liu Wu is also lucky. The young man from Mr. Huang's family is said to be a good scholar and handsome. He can be considered a perfect husband!"

"But if you want to build a set of high-quality new furniture, your uncle and aunt will probably have to spend a lot of money. I don't know how many years of selling meat they will have to make back the money. It's a big deal!"

Yang Huai nodded and took a look at the small courtyard in front of him.

He was not unfamiliar with the Liu family. The Liu family could be considered a fairly well-off family in Yangjiaweichang. They made a living as butchers. They must have some skills to be able to securely occupy this business in such a village.

After a while, the middle-aged woman came out carrying a wedding basket, and behind her was a tall, strong-looking girl. Her face was only ordinary, but she exuded a heroic spirit.

When she saw Yang Huai, she greeted him casually and said.

"Brother Xiao Huai, my dowry is all in your hands! I heard that you are developing new styles of furniture recently. You can't forget me for such a good thing!"

Yang Huai saw this and smiled.

"Don't worry, I will never let you be looked down upon by that Mr. Ruyi's family!"

Liu Jingjing's cheeks were slightly red. Seeing many neighbors looking at her, she stopped talking and stood quietly behind Liu's mother.

Seeing this scene, Yang Huai couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The wild girl has finally grown up!"

Madam Liu Wu's maiden name is Liu Jingjing. She is the fifth child in Liu the Butcher's family. She has four older brothers. She grew up with them and they can be considered childhood friends.

After receiving the deposit, the father and son decided not to take any more work.

The two of them are about to start preparing to take action.

After all, there is not enough time.

In half a month, they have to prepare the wood, do a lot of carpentry work, and even do the delicate wood carvings. The father and son are very pressed for time!
But the two of them were used to it.

At this time, Liu's mother, who was carrying a basket behind her, looked at the father and son as they walked away, then looked at her daughter beside her, and immediately shook her head.

"Now it's as you wish. I hope your brother Xiao Huai can take it seriously. Mr. Huang is a wealthy man, but he has seen everything. In my opinion, although your brother Xiao Huai has made some decent things, he is still a little worse than those masters with many years of experience!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jingjing took her mother's arm and laughed softly.

"Mother, I asked Aunt Yang some time ago, and I also took the opportunity to see the new house of Brother Xiaohuai's family. The furniture there is all yellow pear wood, and the style is generous and mellow, which is very good. Don't underestimate Brother Xiaohuai's craftsmanship. His craftsmanship is definitely better than Uncle Dayuan, and is not worse than the master craftsmen in the city. In this case, how can we give this good thing to others? This will also avoid estrangement between the two families..."

Seeing her clever look, Mother Liu felt relieved and sighed.

"Xiao Huai is really talented in craftsmanship. It's really enviable. In fact, I would rather be with the Yang family. What a pity..."

"Mother! The Second Young Master Huang is not bad either. The Huang family is small, and his elder brother died young. Mr. Huang got the Second Young Master Huang when he was old. No matter how much he dotes on her, he must have no worries about food and clothing..."

Liu Jingjing immediately became a little angry when she heard this.

She and Yang Huai really don't have any romantic feelings, only friendship between partners!

"Yes, my Xiaowu is a blessed one!"

Mother Liu also quickly let it go, her face full of smiles.

……

At Yang's house, when Yang's mother saw the father and son coming back, she wanted to step forward and question Yang Huai, but when she heard the news from the father and son, she was immediately overjoyed, and did not bother to continue to "embarrass" Yang Huai, and hurried to the carpentry room to carry wood for the father and son.

A large number of wood materials were stored in the carpentry workshop at this time, including the quite precious ones such as yellow pear wood, camphor wood, chicken wing wood, golden nanmu, as well as some ordinary camphor wood and cypress. Almost all of the belongings of the father and son were stored here.

Yang Huai stepped in and took up the wood without hesitation. This time he clearly felt the changes in his body.

The father and son no longer needed to work together to carry over 200 kilograms of wood, but could easily carry it. This scene made Yang Dayuan and his wife so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.

Mother Yang's expression eased a little, and she thought to herself.

"So you've gained strength, but it's really hard for my son to endure...!"

In her opinion, eating a lot is usually equated with being strong.
