Chapter 87 Another Benefit of the Marrow Cleansing Pill

"Marrow Cleansing Pill!"

Looking at the successfully produced pill, Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief. The effect of the attribute was terrifying; it not only guaranteed the success rate but also reduced the amount of medicinal materials needed and increased the quantity of finished products.

Over the past two weeks, he had become quite familiar with the Hengshan Sect, and even more so with Yilin, understanding her thoroughly from head to toe. It was just a pity that the jade pendant still hadn't been distributed; perhaps it was related to his search for his biological parents.

Among the Five Mountains Sword Sects, the Hengshan Sect is not considered particularly strong. Each of the three Hengshan masters individually is only second to a Grandmaster, and they cannot even defeat Mo Da. The three of them working together can defeat Yue Buqun, let alone Zuo Lengchan.

The reason this sect has survived is not only due to its Buddhist origins, but also because of its commitment to healing and helping the world. It contains two types of elixirs: White Cloud Bear Bile Pills and Heavenly Fragrance Rejuvenating Ointment.

Baiyun Bear Bile Pills are specifically for treating internal injuries, restoring internal balance, and strengthening the body's foundation. Tianxiang Bone-Mending Ointment can treat external injuries and bone and tendon damage, but it cannot compare to the Black Jade Bone-Mending Ointment of the Western Regions Vajra Sect.

The Wudang Sect had sent people to buy it before, but when they took it back to Yu Daiyan, they found it had little effect. That injury had been there for several years; it was normal that it couldn't be cured.

Master Dingxian was in charge of managing the sect, Master Dingjing was in charge of refining pills, and Master Dingyi was in charge of fighting. The division of labor was clear.

According to Yilin, the Hengshan Sect's success rate in refining pills is less than 40%, and that's only after Abbess Dingjing personally refined them. Other disciples would only have a success rate of around 10% to 20%.

Elixirs are precious and expensive. Unless absolutely necessary, the Songshan Sect wouldn't dare to offend the Hengshan Sect to the point of destruction.

The Marrow Cleansing Pill was entirely emerald green, faintly radiating a captivating glow; at first glance, it gave the impression of being poisonous. Without a doubt, it was indeed made by adding this poisonous substance.

Besides medicinal herbs, the resources also include ores and poisons.

The ore contains top-grade realgar, and is also rich in toxins, including green-waisted beetles, water beetles, ground beetles, fire ants, and ice silkworms, all of which are highly poisonous and require extremely harsh growing conditions.

Take water beetles as an example; you can only find them in tombs that have been underground for hundreds of years. They are also very small, often slipping away unnoticed and hiding in crevices. Even if you are lucky enough to find one, the probability of being bitten and dying from the poison is more than a hundred times higher than catching it.

These are all available in the homestead, and they won't wander around in the poison den. If you want them, just go find them.

As soon as the pill entered his mouth, a sharp pain shot through his abdomen, followed by a chilling sensation that spread throughout his body. The alternation between icy cold and scorching heat lasted for a long time, and even with Lu Ming's willpower, he almost couldn't withstand it.

I don't know how long it took before the excruciating pain mixed with the sensation of ice and fire finally subsided. My whole body was covered in a foul-smelling filth, smelling worse than a beggar who hadn't bathed in over a decade. Moreover, I couldn't hold back the urge to defecate.

He rushed to the lake and plunged in.

The once clear lake surface turned black, and any fish that got too close immediately turned belly up, suffocated by the stench!

They weren't poisoned to death, but rather suffocated by the stench!

[Acquired entry: Yi Jing Marrow Cleansing (Metal): Doubles cultivation speed, eliminates mental cultivation bottlenecks, increases the chances of pregnancy, and results in offspring with superior talent.]

The previous techniques were better than nothing for Lu Ming, as he had no bottlenecks to speak of. What he needed now was to grasp the essence of the techniques and make them instinctive.

Each move, each strike, can firmly lock onto the enemy, giving them an inescapable sense of awe—this is one way to begin mastering the art of martial arts.

The faster cultivation speed is also a good thing, at least he can master the Nine Yang Manual sooner. One cannot have intercourse with a woman while the Nine Yang Manual is not yet fully mastered, and one must retain three-tenths of one's internal energy, otherwise there is a risk of dying from exhaustion.

These are all good things, but why is the last one increasing the chances of getting pregnant? What's the point of this?

There's a saying: If you don't have children, you might as well go to a brothel! At least there are no ties or worries!

After scrubbing for a long time, Lu Ming finally felt the odor disappear. Back in the room, Yue Lingshan looked at him in surprise. Lu Ming was already handsome and dashing, but now his skin was fair and rosy, even more delicate than a woman's, and he radiated a glowing light, making her heart race.

"Junior brother, you've gotten so fair-skinned! You look so good, and you smell so nice!"

Looking at his senior sister's dazed eyes, Lu Ming blinked, and was startled when he saw his own reflection in the mirror. Perhaps due to the elimination of toxins and impurities, his aura had become increasingly ethereal and otherworldly, while his broad shoulders and powerful build exuded a masculine and imposing presence that would stun any girl!

"Junior brother, you smell so good!"

Yue Lingshan became attached to him, somewhat unable to resist, and for some reason wanted to get close to her junior brother.

Lu Ming raised an eyebrow, wanting to bring up the Marrow Cleansing Pill, but his lips were sealed. Could he tolerate this? Let's fight!

Rain patters on banana leaves, the morning sun rises.

Yue Lingshan yawned and was groggily pulled up. She was fed a pill and then taken to the bathroom.

Lu Ming returned to the inn and told Master Dingyi and the others to set off first, as he needed to buy some supplies and would catch up later.

Master Dingyi nodded expressionlessly, her eyes filled with a strange look. This boy had taken Yilin away to do bad things in front of her many times, which had corrupted her Buddhist heart several times. Because of this, she had often told Yilin to be careful and not to get pregnant before marriage.

If Lu Ming didn't have his current abilities and dared to do this, Abbess Dingyi would have drawn her sword and killed him in a heartbeat; she wouldn't have tolerated him.

But Lu Ming would always find an excuse to spar with them. His relaxed demeanor made it impossible for him to beat them, even when he tried his best and was on high alert. He even accidentally took a few hits several times, which almost made Lu Ming withdraw from the fight.

Fortunately, she wasn't the only one; every disciple of the Hengshan Sect got one. Only Yiqing and Yihe went a bit too far, either spraining their ankles and leaning on someone's arms, or being too weak and clinging to Lu Ming. They practically jumped the abacus in her face!

Yu Erxia and Zhang Wuxia from the Wudang Sect were no exception; they were all beaten up by Lu Ming under the guise of sparring. Yu Erxia was alright, still able to defend himself, but the others looked like a father beating his sons.

If Lu Ming hadn't been so sincere and had a habit of sparring with others, they would have thought he was just looking for trouble.

Little did they know, this was all to get them to generate buzz for trending topics. They didn't care if it was good or bad; they just wanted to grab it first. More wouldn't hurt, and who knew what good stuff might be inside?

In the house, Yue Lingshan looked at Lu Ming with a resentful expression. Heaven knows how many times she had defecated; the renovated bathroom still smelled terrible. And she was a girl!

"Alright, stop complaining after getting a good deal! This is a Marrow Cleansing Pill! Your cultivation speed will be much faster from now on!"

"Really! Wow! Junior brother is so nice!"

Yue Lingshan was still a young girl at heart; her temper flared up quickly but subsided just as fast, and she would back down easily if given a way out. Even when she was in excruciating pain, she didn't suspect Lu Ming of trying to harm her; she was even willing to die for him. How could she possibly suspect her beloved junior brother?

After leaving their home, the two quickly caught up with the group.

Upon reaching Hengshan County, they encountered members of the Sun Moon Cult blocking their path. This was quite strange; instead of hiding in Blackwood Cliff, these people were openly venturing out.

Master Dingyi sneered. Having been beaten by Lu Ming for so long, she was furious and drew her sword, ready to strike!

The other party seemed unwilling to fight, and stepped forward, clasping his hands in greeting: "I am Bao Dachu, Elder of the Holy Sect, greetings to Young Master Lu."

"Master Dingyi, Hero Yu, and Hero Zhang are not here to cause trouble, but simply to ask a question. A shipment of goods from our sect has gone missing, our disciples have been killed, and Elder Tong Baixiong has had his hands crippled, his eyes gouged out, and his hearing impaired—the methods used were extremely cruel."

Abbess Dingyi, who hated evil as if it were her enemy, immediately sneered, "The deaths of members of the Demonic Sect are not worth regretting. Do you think it was us who did it?"

Bao Dachu clenched his fists, cursing the nun under his breath, and looked at Lu Ming with a hint of fear in his eyes. Sang Sanniang had already sent Lu Ming's information back to Blackwood Cliff. This man was able to fight Qiao Feng to a draw, and he also revealed a lot of secrets. His medical skills were also quite remarkable. He was not someone Bao Dachu could afford to offend.

Unless Dongfang Bubai personally intervenes, no one in the Sun Moon Cult can rival him.

"Master, you flatter me. Now that our sect has submitted to the imperial court, we will certainly not repeat our past misdeeds. The Buddha said that one can become a Buddha by laying down the butcher's knife. Why must you be so aggressive, Master?"

"This is merely a question, with absolutely no intention of provocation. If there has been any rudeness, please forgive me, esteemed heroes!"
