Chapter 64: Beast Tempering Method

Escort agency, guest room and courtyard.

Zhang Mu heard a roar coming from his body that only he could hear, and the last acupoint of the Du meridian was finally opened.

Du meridian is unblocked!
Zhang Mu opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his pupils, and then quickly subsided.

"Fourth grade!" Zhang Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

Feeling the endless power surging from his body, Zhang Mu truly felt that he had become stronger.

I calculated the date and today is exactly the seventh day since I made an appointment with the teacher.

Zhang Mu first practiced in the courtyard for a while to become proficient in the power of the fourth-grade meridian opening technique. Then he fetched some water, took a bath, changed his clothes, and prepared to meet his teacher.

……

In the house in Yong'an Lane, a white-bearded old man who called himself Wei Wuyou pushed open the door.

He was carrying a large water tank on his shoulders. He walked into the yard and put the tank down. With a "bang", the ground was pressed down by the tank for about an inch.

The surface of the water tank was covered with a layer of mist, and it was impossible to see what was inside.

At this moment, his ears moved and he immediately punched himself in the chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood, which just sprayed on the water tank, and his face quickly turned pale.

"Teacher!" Zhang Mu pushed open the door and saw the other party standing up with the help of the water tank. When Wei Wuyou saw Zhang Mu coming in, he immediately wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand and laughed heroically: "Hahaha... cough cough... here you come..."

"Teacher, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Mu frowned, his eyes falling on the bloodstains outside the water tank. Wei Wuyou immediately moved his body to block the bloodstains and waved his hand: "It's nothing, just a minor injury."

Zhang Mu quickly put down the gift in his hand and stepped forward to support him. Wei Wuyou's body softened instantly. Zhang Mu subconsciously circulated his internal energy, which startled the other party.

"Have you achieved fourth-grade meridian opening?"

Zhang Mu nodded: "Yes, I just broke through today."

Wei Wuyou was satisfied after hearing this. He sat on the chair, coughed, and said, "Not bad. With such talent, it's worth my trouble to prepare your body for you."

"Teacher, this body tempering..." Zhang Mu asked, "is it the same as strengthening the muscles and bones?"

"Can I still use it at my age?"

"The golden period for strengthening muscles and bones is from seven to sixteen years old. You have missed it." Wei Wuyou shook his head.

As he spoke, Wei Wuyou pointed to the water tank and said, "Go and take a look."

Zhang Mu walked over to the water tank and saw only the mist above it. Then Wei Wuyou struck out with his palm, and suddenly a gust of wind arose from the ground, blowing away the mist.

A bloody smell rushed into Zhang Mu's nose, and only then did he see clearly that the water tank was filled with bright red blood.

"That's the blood of a hundred beasts. It took me a lot of effort." Wei Wuyou opened the jar of wine Zhang Mu brought, took a sip, wiped his mouth, and said, "Take off your clothes and go in and soak."

Medicated bath?

Zhang Mu immediately understood, and without wasting any words, he quickly took off his clothes and jumped directly into the water tank.

As soon as he entered the water tank, Zhang Mu suddenly felt hot all over. The blood of the beasts seemed like a hot spring, very hot, but bearable.

"Teacher, is it okay to soak it like this?" Zhang Mu asked.

"You wish." Wei Wuyou chuckled, "You soak in the water first, and let me rest for a while."

"Hey." Zhang Mu responded, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Teacher, can this method allow me to reach the level of those who have been training their muscles since childhood?"

"Of course." Wei Wuyou took another sip of wine and said, "Tempering muscles and bones is a poor man's way."

"The children of wealthy families use the Body Tempering Method."

"Body Tempering is the foundation of military training."

"Military training? What is that?" Zhang Mu heard a new term and asked curiously.

Wei Wuyou was very patient in answering Zhang Mu's questions. He said, "What do you think the imperial court relied on to crush the martial arts world? Was it a master?"

"Isn't it?"

"What a joke." Wei Wuyou sneered, "In terms of masters, the sect coalition back then could be said to have gathered nearly half of the sects in the world. Even the Great Yun court didn't necessarily have an advantage in the number of masters."

"But even a Grandmaster can only kill a few people alone."

"Once the vitality in your body is exhausted, you will still be just an ordinary person."

Zhang Mu opened his mouth and was about to say that this was just a human wave tactic, but then he heard Wei Wuyou continue: "Don't think that the court is using human lives to pile up."

"Every kind of military training can create a strong army. It can allow ordinary people to rival warriors in the battle."

"A large army of warriors, you can imagine its power."

Zhang Mu suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the message left by the old man from Frost Ice Valley was filled with despair when he obtained "Cold Dragon Killing Spring". However...

Zhang Mu looked down at the Hundred Beasts Blood Soup where he was and asked, "Teacher, does Qianyuan Mountain Stronghold also have such an army?"

The last time he checked the accounts of the Shanzhai, he may have seen the detailed list of the standard equipment of those armies.

Wei Wuyou spat out a mouthful of wine and looked at Zhang Mu helplessly: "What are you thinking about?"

"A complete military training technique can be said to be a national treasure. The imperial court will never allow it to fall into the hands of others."

"There are only seven military training techniques known to the world today."

"Then this body tempering method..." Zhang Mu asked puzzledly.

"This is the military training technique of the Nanyu Mountain-Taking Army. With the fall of Nanyu, this training technique was lost, and only the body-tempering method was passed down." Wei Wuyou explained, "The body-tempering methods in the hands of various major forces today are similar. They are only fragments of the military training technique."

Zhang Mu understood and felt the Hundred Beasts Blood Soup again, but he was still a little unsure: "But I don't think it seems to have any effect."

"Of course, I haven't put in the primer yet." Wei Wuyou stood up, walked to the water tank, untied a gourd from his waist, opened the stopper of the gourd, and suddenly Zhang Mu seemed to hear a wolf howl.

"This is the heart blood of the Demon Wolf King in the Nourishing Fluid Realm. This guy's strength is average, but the group of demon wolves under his command are really troublesome. It took me a lot of effort."

As he spoke, Wei Wuyou tilted the gourd, and immediately bright red blood flowed out of the gourd and fell into the water tank.

When the blood of the Demon Wolf King's heart fell into the water tank, the blood of all the beasts in the tank suddenly boiled. The next moment, Zhang Mu's whole body shook, and he felt as if countless needles were pricking him. At the same time, streams of energy and blood rushed into his body, and from his skin to his bones and blood, it seemed as if everything was burning.

Zhang Mu subconsciously wanted to jump out of the water tank.

"Hold on!" Wei Wuyou shouted in a low voice, holding down Zhang Mu with one hand and pushing him back.

Hearing this, Zhang Mu gritted his teeth and endured the repeated impact of the blood of hundreds of beasts on his body in the water tank!

……

Suddenly day and night passed.

When the sun rose again the next day, Zhang Mu opened his eyes again.

Wei Wuyou's hand was still on his shoulder. He looked down and saw that the blood in the water tank was no longer red and was still a little turbid.

"You're awake." Wei Wuyou smiled when he saw Zhang Mu open his eyes. "Not bad, you made it through."

Zhang Mu let out a long sigh and touched his skin with his hand. He found that his skin was more elastic and tougher than before.

Then Zhang Mu felt his muscles and bones again, and they seemed to be full of strength.

Seeing Zhang Mu checking himself, Wei Wuyou nodded and said, "Don't worry, your master is always paying attention to your condition."

"This time the body tempering was very successful."

"Thank you, teacher!" Zhang Mu said gratefully.

"No need to thank me, it's your own ability." Wei Wuyou waved his hand, "You are only at the Tongmai Realm, so I used the demon blood equivalent to the Yangye Realm to temper your body. It's not easy for you to make it through."

"I admit, I'm a bit of a gambler."

Zhang Mu: (｀;)?

What did you bet on?

"Teacher, have I completed my body tempering?" Zhang Mu asked.

"What are you dreaming of?" Wei Wuyou smiled and returned to his seat. "This kind of body tempering will take at least three more times before it can be perfected."

"Three times?" Zhang Mu asked in surprise.

"Why are you reacting so strongly?" Wei Wuyou picked up the wine jar and gulped down a few mouthfuls. "It's up to me, an old man, to take care of it!"

"Come out and wash yourself, you stink!"

……

The teacher left again.

I have to go and prepare materials for Zhang Mu's next body tempering.

To be honest, Zhang Mu was moved for a moment when he saw the tall figure disappear outside the city gate.

Although they had only met a few times, Zhang Mu could feel that the other party was sincere to him.

In this world, friendship is the hardest to repay.

Zhang Mu let out a long sigh: "Forget it, let's take it one step at a time."
