A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 46 Su Mi Hua

Xiao Zongting walked straight into the main room in the backyard.

Duan Rong also carried the medicine bag, stepped over the threshold and stood at the door.

On the east and west sides of the main hall, each is connected to a room with a door curtain.

At this moment, a faint yellow light shone from under the door curtain on the east side, revealing a slanted spot of light at the feet of Duan Rong.

That is Xiao Baiqiao’s boudoir!

Duan Rong seemed to smell a faint fragrance!
In the darkness, Xiao Zongting took out a fire starter, pulled it out, blew into it a few times, and then used the bright red flame to light the candle.

The bright yellow light immediately filled the main room!

Xiao Zongting put out the fire, limped over and sat on a chair, looked at Duan Rong angrily, and said, "Bring me the medicine!"

Xiao Zongting was filled with murderous intent. Although he was not angry at this moment, he still had the courage and spirit of a lion's roar that could scare all the beasts.

Duan Rong was slightly startled, and obediently placed the medicine bag in his hand on the mahogany carved table next to Xiao Zongting's armchair.

Xiao Zongting opened the medicine package, separated the herbs inside one by one, and placed them on the table.

The more he waved, the gloomier his expression became.

Finally, Xiao Zongting put a small packet of brown-black powder in front of his nose, sniffed it, and immediately became furious, saying: "What the hell is this, what kind of tiger and wolf medicine?!"

Xiao Zongting looked at Duan Rong, his eyes gleaming with murderous intent. "Come here!"

Duan Rong walked over hesitantly, like a frightened quail.

Xiao Zongting suddenly bent down and pressed hard on Duan Rong's lower abdomen, then raised his hand and pressed between Duan Rong's breasts, and asked, "Do these two places hurt?"

"The Shenque point doesn't hurt, but there's a slight dull pain in the Tanzhong point." Duan Rong answered with a worried look.

He knew at this time that there might be something wrong with the medicine, so he honestly told Xiao Zongting about his symptoms.

Xiao Zongting was slightly surprised that this boy knew so much about the acupuncture points on the human body.

Shenque is located in Dantian, while Tanzhong point is the intersection of meridians in the chest.

Ever since Duan Rong swallowed the spirit of the silver needle left by Gu Suxiu, he has already known the meridians and acupoints of the human body like the back of his hand!

However, at this moment, Xiao Zongting's mind was not here. After hearing Duan Rong's answer, his gloomy expression finally eased a little.

"Who gave you the prescription?"

"I bought some miscellaneous books in the antique street, and one of them had this recipe written on the back. I saw that it happened to be a recipe for the second level of the Inner Breath Realm, so I grabbed the medicine and tried it."

"You are so brave! I thought it was given to you by some quack. After all this time, it turns out it was recorded in a random book! How can the author of a book be reliable? Who would write a book?"

Xiao Zongting seemed to be getting angrier and angrier as he spoke. He glared at Duan Rong and asked, "Even if you wanted to use this prescription, couldn't you bring it to me first?"

Duan Rong looked at the ground and whispered, "The Second Miss is seriously ill, how can you care about other things? I don't even know the others!"

After hearing this, Xiao Zongting's anger suddenly subsided.

He was the chief instructor and had originally estimated that Duan Rong would be able to achieve the first level of Qi within a few days, so he gave him the secret book of the second level, but he forgot to give him the prescription for the second level.

Firstly, he was upset at the time. Secondly, he felt that even if he gave Duan Rong a prescription, he would not have the money to buy the medicine.

This is a tonic of the second level of internal energy. It is something that an apprentice escort like him can afford with only three cents of silver a month.

In fact, he was considering applying for a separate training fund for Duan Rong, but when the incident with Xiao Baiqiao happened, he really had no time to take care of him for the time being.

In the final analysis, this was also his dereliction of duty as the chief instructor. "How many doses of this medicine did you take?"

"I took just one dose."

"When can we eat?"

"Three days ago at the hour of Yin."

Xiao Zongting nodded and continued to ask: "How long did you stand in the stance every day for these three days?"

"Nine hours."

Xiao Zongting's face remained calm, but his heart was shaken!

Despite such a strong medicine, Duan Rong's Dantian was not damaged. Of course, he only took one dose. But what was more important was that after taking the medicine, he practiced vigorously. The continuous fierce practice neutralized the surging medicinal power and prevented the Dantian from being under pressure for too long!

Xiao Zongting naturally thought that Duan Rong had managed to preserve his Dantian because of his intense practice.

But he still didn't expect that Duan Rong was so crazy that he would stand in a posture for nine hours every day!
And this is based on the premise that he has to go out to paint for an hour every day. He is simply a humanoid machine!
Xiao Zongting's gaze had changed from initial anger to shock and admiration.

He is extremely talented, obsessed with martial arts, and practices diligently to the point of madness!
It is a great comfort for me to have such a disciple!
At this time, Xiao Zongting's doubts were gone. He pointed at the herbs on the table and said to Duan Rong in a calm tone, "These bear bile powder, blood ginseng, and polygonatum are all precious herbs that can stimulate the potential of Dantian."

"On its own, it is of great benefit to a warrior's practice."

"But, using these three herbs together, and in such a large amount, is not going to stimulate the potential of the Dantian, it is going to destroy the Dantian!"

When Duan Rong heard the words "ruined Dantian", his heart suddenly turned cold!
He remembered that Guanyun also said in his autobiography that he was murdered and his dantian was destroyed.

His own Dantian was destroyed, so he specially compiled a book, and put in it a prescription for destroying a person's Dantian with great care!
If you harm others, you will suffer the same fate as him!
This is simply antisocial personality!
"Vicious! Maggots! Disgusting maggots!"

Duan Rong was so angry that he cursed in his heart, and his dark face turned red. "Mr. Xiao, is my Dantian destroyed?"

"Fortunately, you're fine! You only took one dose of the medicine, and you practiced madly, so you're finally on the edge of what your Dantian can bear. But even if you practiced so madly, if you took three doses of this medicine, your Dantian would be destroyed!"

When Duan Rong heard that Dantian was fine, he felt relieved.

"Then why do I feel a slight pain in the Danzhong point on my chest?" Duan Rong was really worried at this time.

"After all, the meridians are more fragile than the Dantian, and the Danzhong acupoint is where many thin meridians converge. With such a strong medicine, some of the thin meridians may have been injured."

"Can it be restored?"

"As long as you stop taking this medicine, it will slowly heal itself. Those subtle meridians, when practicing the inner breath realm, are not involved in the operation at all. It's just that the power of the medicine is too strong, so it overflows."

Duan Rong's anxious face finally calmed down.

It seems that there was no danger this time.

Learn this lesson!
At this time, Xiao Zongting picked up a dried brown flower from the herbs and said, "This medicine is Su Mi Hua. The price is not cheap."

"This flower is used as medicine to boost people's spirits!"

"But if these two plants are used together as medicine, it's not just a matter of invigorating the spirit. Such a large dosage will make people's hearts beat wildly and lose the feeling of pain in the Dantian meridians!"

"My heart is beating wildly?" Duan Rong remembered that he felt the same way two days ago.

"This medicine that destroys the Dantian is very poisonous. Those who take it will feel that the medicine is powerful and invigorated, and will not feel the pain of the meridians being torn and the Dantian being pressured at all!"

"This Guanyun, no wonder he has to use a pseudonym. Damn it! Damn it, he almost screwed your father!"

Duan Rong was so angry that he kept cursing.
