But on second thought, it's not without its downsides.
While gaining a lot, she also lost most of life's troubles, which are precious spiritual wealth for humankind; the loss was undoubtedly significant.
"Alas, how sorrowful."
At this moment, Ma Xiaotian, whom she had sent to the Chongyang Palace Treasury to inventory the available medicines, returned and reported good news.
"The medicinal herbs in Chongyang Palace's current treasury can make six doses of Fulong Sugu Decoction. Adding the two doses you acquired earlier, which I've been carrying with me, we have a total of eight doses."
"If you need, I can provide all eight sets for you to use, but I don't recommend doing so."
Li Mochou was taken aback: "Tell me your reasons."
Ma Xiaotian explained, "Fulong Bone-Sculpting Soup is indeed incredibly effective, but the more you use it, the weaker the effect becomes. If the first dose is 100% effective, the second dose is 70%, the third dose is only 30%, and the fourth dose is basically ineffective."
"Therefore, using more than three doses is a complete waste. It's better to keep the herbs and use them for something else."
The medicinal materials used in Fulong Bone-Sculpting Soup are all extremely rare, many of which are non-renewable, and each use reduces the available supply.
Many of these medicinal herbs are not only used in Fulong Sugu Decoction, but also have great uses in other areas, so it is a real pity to waste them.
"Alright then, I'll get three sets for myself first. Then I'll see if there are any suitable sets for Long'er to use as a foundation, and send a few sets to the Ancient Tomb as well. We might as well take advantage of the Quanzhen Sect's resources."
Miss Li knew that power unused was power wasted. If she didn't take as much as she could now while the Seven Masters of Quanzhen were at their most guilty, it wouldn't be as easy to get more later once they recovered.
Ma Xiaotian was speechless. "Mo Chou, although you don't look like me at all, have you forgotten that I am also a member of the Quanzhen Sect?"
Fulong Bone-Sculpting Soup cannot be prepared simply by obtaining the corresponding medicinal materials. The most important and crucial part of the prescription lies in the process of handling, processing, refining, extracting, and adding various medicinal materials in the correct order and timing.
These processes were quite time-consuming. Ma Xiaotian spent more than two days processing everything and submitted more than 300 bottles and jars to "Li Mochou". They were full of powders, liquids, ointments, pills and the like, all of which were water-soluble, with three portions of each.
That's how it should be. Otherwise, if you just throw all the more than 100 kinds of herbs into the pot to boil, would there still be room for people to take a bath?
That would really turn into soup.
The subsequent setup was handled by "Li Mochou" herself, since it was a very private matter, involving undressing, and not suitable for Grandpa Ma, who had been single for seventy years, to see such a stimulating scene.
Inside the bathroom, the familiar iron pot and large wooden tub were already set up, with firewood burning fiercely underneath, filling the entire room with smoke and significantly reducing visibility.
Miss Li coughed violently from the choking, and only then did she remember to open the window for ventilation. This great man almost died from boiling bathwater.
After the symptoms subsided, she began to add various refined medicines in a timely and quantitative manner according to the prescription, while using her internal energy to help the medicines dissolve and fuse, thus stimulating their efficacy.
When she added a highly poisonous drug called "Nine-Leaf Heartbreak Grass," she had a sudden inspiration.
"According to the prescription, this Nine-Leaf Heartbreak Grass is used to fight poison with poison, reducing the excessive pain when using Fulong Bone-Sculpting Decoction, but it will also weaken the medicinal effect to a certain extent."
"My patience is extraordinary, there's no need to weaken it at all. Adding this stuff would be counterproductive and a waste of a precious poison."
"The Nine-Leaf Heartbreak Grass is incredibly poisonous, a rare and potent toxin that specifically corrodes internal organs. If it can be combined with suitable cultivation techniques to repair the internal organs, reviving from desolation and reborn from ruin, it will surely strengthen the fragile internal organs. I will definitely need to strengthen my organs in the future. This thing is priceless and a precious cultivation resource that cannot be wasted."
She put the three bottles away, sealed them tightly, tore off the original labels, and wrote a name that matched her own aesthetic sense on them, so that Lao Ma wouldn't find out that she was even trying to embezzle these things.
"Jade Palace Pill, let's call it that. It means that I will be able to extend the Jade Body effect of the Bright Jade Skill to my internal organs in the future. It's appropriate, pleasant to hear, and has a good style."
At the same time, she was thinking.
The ninth level of the Mingyu Gong can refine the skin to be as transparent as jade. This is not only an external manifestation of the Mingyu Gong, but also has functions that match its image.
Skin as transparent as jade not only represents a pure body and allows for the unimpeded flow of true energy, but also possesses the toughness of jade, with extremely strong defensive capabilities and the power to cut through gold and jade.
The term "skin" actually refers to the flesh, blood, tendons, and membranes. Mingyu can train all three of these.
With the Jade Palace Pill, the tempering of internal organs is just around the corner.
The Nine Yin Manual contains a chapter called "Tendon Changing and Bone Strengthening," which is said to strengthen one's bones and improve one's aptitude. It might even be able to train one's skeletal structure. This thing is in the Ancient Tomb and can be obtained at any time.
Thinking this way, "Li Mochou" was suddenly startled, realizing that she had a bright future ahead of her. She was only missing the methods of marrow cultivation and blood exchange to complete the path of the Immortal Martial Arts and become a Martial Saint.
"Hahahaha!" Miss Li suddenly burst into laughter. "If I mastered the Five Greats of the Condor Heroes, I would be invincible in the real world. If I mastered the Yang God Martial Saint, wouldn't I rule the world?"
"Very good, very good! My future is truly bright! Yang God Martial Saint, hahahaha!"
She has always been very good at dreaming.
Chapter 66 Spectacle, I need spectacle!
Soon, the Fulong Bone-Sculpting Soup was completely prepared. Looking at the bathwater in front of her, which was a different color from the one Ning Zhongze had prepared for her before, Miss Li felt a little uneasy.
"It's just one ingredient missing, how did it turn from a multicolored black into a riot of colors of green? When was evil energy added?"
Green is the color that represents life and health, but at this moment, it's hard to say that this color is healthier than black.
What would be the price? She couldn't help but ponder.
"Who cares? Even if it's shit, I have to taste it before I say it's bad. I'll only know if it's good or not after I've used it. Let's go!"
thump!
A figure with skin as white as snow slipped into the tub, the completely opaque green liquid covering all the skin below the chin, leaving no trace of skin exposed.
Sigh, we're all family here, look what's wrong with you, acting so quickly, completely treating us like outsiders, it's outrageous.
"hiss!"
As soon as you enter the tub, an excruciating pain, like being sliced into pieces, washes over you from head to toe, as if your flesh is being cut off piece by piece and then melts into the medicinal liquid.
At the same time, an omnipresent tingling and itching seeped into her flesh and bones, like millions of ants crawling all over her body from the outside in and then from the inside out.
This pain and discomfort far exceeded the last time he used the Fulong Bone-Sculpting Soup. If Linghu Chong had used this medicine, he probably wouldn't have lasted an hour; he would have cried out for his parents and jumped out of bed after a quarter of an hour.
But Li Mochou's eyes brightened instead.
"Good, this medicine gives me strength! The previous one was practically for women, too mild and mild, which suited Linghu Chong perfectly. This one, however, is full of decisive and ruthless power, which is perfect for a real man like me!"
Her eyes grew brighter and brighter:
"I feel the boundless medicinal power penetrating my flesh and blood, tempering my bones and transforming my essence. It is too powerful, but also very thorough, and its effects far exceed those of the past."
"You did it right, you really did it right this time!"
"I'm simply a genius!"
The medicinal bath lasted all night, and she used up all three doses of medicine at once, having to add firewood to the fire more than ten times to boil herself.
She had wondered if something unexpected might happen and she might actually be cooked, but the joy of her rapidly growing foundation blinded her, making her ignore these risks.
Fortunately, she was very lucky and had no problems throughout the process, successfully digesting three doses of the "Heroic Version of Fulong Bone-Sculpting Soup" alive.
The moment Li Mochou stepped out of the bathroom after getting dressed, she looked up at the sunrise, her heart filled with light, and unconsciously used the power of her muscles and bones to throw a punch.
Bang!
One of the decorative stone pillars on either side of the bathroom door suddenly broke off. The pillar, which was over 20 centimeters in diameter and weighed several hundred kilograms, was held in her arms as she jumped into the yard and danced around with great force!
In the mythological era, Xing Tian wielded his axe and shield, his might overwhelming heaven and earth; in the modern martial arts world, Fairy Li dances with a stone pillar, aweing all directions—both are earth-shattering figures.
Ma Xiaotian and Wu Santong, who had been guarding the temple all night, quietly withdrew from the courtyard to avoid being accidentally smashed into a pulp, while also silently adjusting their impression of Miss Li.
That's a true hero.
The Three Heroes Edition of the Dragon-Sculpting Bone Soup not only greatly improved Li Mochou's foundation in Qi cultivation and increased her Qi cultivation efficiency, but also finally enabled her to reach 10,000 units of true Qi, meeting the first-class standard of the Smiling Proud Wanderer.
Li Mochou originally only had a little over four thousand units of true qi, but now it has reached ten thousand, which means that Song Yi can take more than five thousand units of it with him.
These five thousand units need to exclude the one thousand units he originally brought, since that has already been settled once and cannot be counted as another harvest.
In other words, if I were to return to my original body now, I could bring back more than 4,000 units of true energy. Adding that back to what I already had would cancel each other out, resulting in exactly the same amount as the more than 5,000 units that Li Mochou's ship currently has.
This means that if he goes back now, he will immediately achieve a second-rate level in terms of true qi.
Uh... it doesn't seem that great?
The Three Heroes Edition of the Dragon-Sculpting Bone Soup granted her immense physical strength.
Even without using her inner energy, relying solely on her powerful physique and her honed skills, she can now overpower Wu Santong.
This body is already 120% of the level of his assassin self, which he has honed through countless trials, making it arguably his strongest mecha to date.
To suppress a top-tier master solely through physical strength is an astonishing feat in the martial arts world; such a person might only appear once every few decades or centuries.
Li Mochou achieved this with just three doses of medicine, which is unbelievable.
Ma Xiaotian couldn't understand it at all.
"There's no reason for this. I know the effects of the Fulong Bone-Sculpting Soup better than you do. Even thirty doses wouldn't be this potent, let alone three. This medicine's main function isn't to aid in body refinement!"
He kept rambling on, insisting that "Li Mochou" examine him to see if there was anything wrong.
Li Mochou resolutely refused. Of course, she knew where the problem lay. After all, the three bottles of Jade Mansion Pills in her arms were still heavy, and the extreme pain of the cruel training was still vivid in her mind.
All of this was achieved through her hard work, bit by bit, without any luck or shortcuts!
After being beaten up, Wu Santong frowned when he saw Ma Xiaotian relentlessly harassing his girl. He then pulled Ma Xiaotian to his side.
"Old Ma, you're overstepping your bounds! How can you disturb the young lady like this? If she doesn't want you to be examined, just listen to her and don't be rude. Show some respect!"
Ma Xiaotian looked at the serious-looking Wu Santong and was quite speechless.
Brother Wu, you are a servant, not me. I am Mochou's master, uh... one of her masters. She is the only one who respects me, not the other way around. Do you understand?
Wu Santong sneered, "What nonsense are you spouting? If the girl tells you to go east, you won't go west; if she tells you to chase a dog, you won't chase a chicken. And you still say you're not a servant?"
The world has discerning eyes; no matter how stubborn you are, you can't change the fact that you are an old servant!
Boom!
Suddenly, a bell rang, signaling the Quanzhen Sect to convene a general meeting of its disciples and followers, seemingly to discuss something important.
Ma Xiaotian glanced at "Li Mochou," looking hesitant, as if he wanted to go but didn't dare.
Li Mochou waved her hand: "Why are you looking at me? Go on your way!"
As a true master and a senior of the Quanzhen School, and given that he happened to be at Chongyang Palace, Ma Xiaotian should naturally attend such a grand gathering.
This was not only a reward for Wang Chongyang and the Quanzhen Sect for taking him in, but also an opportunity for him to exercise power.
If you don't attend meetings, you naturally won't be involved in any decision-making processes, and over time you'll lose all power.
Ma Xiaotian nodded: "Then I'll go, and I'll tell you what it was about when I get back."
He was quite self-aware; he even knew to voluntarily become a spy for Miss Li.
After Ma Xiaotian left, Wu Santong felt heavy-hearted, and a sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart.
Ma Xiaotian is a senior member of the Quanzhen Sect. He can not only influence the sect's decisions but also provide girls with various inside information about the sect.
