Everlasting Sword God - Chapter 8

[Chapter 8 Medicated Bath]

“Next?” Shen Zhenyi looked at her, then shook her head, “Now, if you don’t get lucky, run again.”

“Unlucky really?”

Since the age of five, Chu Huoluo had never thought of relying solely on physical strength to exercise. After all, at that time, she had already been able to draw true qi into her body, and she could no longer imagine the life of an ordinary person.

“Can this really improve the realm of martial arts?” Chu Huoluo expressed doubts.

Shen Zhenyi didn’t speak, he promised to give pointers, but he didn’t intend to explain.

Chu Huoluo was helpless and could only drag her tired body to continue running along the rugged mountain road in the back mountain. I didn’t realize it when I used the infuriating energy just now, but once the infuriating qi of the Shenhuo Jue stopped, my legs felt as heavy as lead, and even my breathing became rapid.

When she was halfway through, she only felt a dull pain in her rib cage, gold stars in her eyes, and she felt dizzy in her head.

“This is the consequence of relying too much on infuriating energy.”

Shen Zhenyi didn’t know when she appeared beside her, and the wheelchair rolling speed could keep up with her slow pace.

“The real qi of the Nine Netherland comes too easily, and you can’t use it to temper your body, making your body even weaker than ordinary people. It is precisely because of this that the lifespan of warriors here is generally not long.”

Infuriating energy can increase strength, reduce damage, protect the internal organs, and make it difficult to feel fatigued in action. If the martial arts realm is high enough, and the infuriating energy in the body is sufficient, even an elderly person can leap like a teenager.

But that doesn’t improve the nature of the body, aging and damage are still there, just less noticeable.

“It’s as if you’ve fallen beyond Jiuyou…”

Chu Huoluo muttered, gritted her teeth and insisted, she is a girl with a strong tenacity. The first time you give up your infuriating qi, it’s easiest to give up because you can’t bear it, and it’s hard to have the courage to try again later—she had a good start.

Shen Zhenyi was silent.

He did go to a lot of places.

In some barren places, you can’t even extract true qi from heaven and earth, you can only exercise your body to the extreme, and then practice the way of refining and transforming qi. The difficulty of this road and the pain of the process are simply beyond the imagination of the warriors of the Nine Serenities.

There are also some chaotic places. The violent infuriating energy is like a sharp blade. When introduced into the body, it will only shatter the body and bones. It must endure great pain before starting to practice.

Of course, there are more places that are better than the land of the Nine Serenities. The heaven and the earth are full of vitality, and they can even be reborn and reach the top of the three flowers of the spirit of the spirit. This is the true beginning of the way of cultivation.

It is precisely because of repeated experiences that he has become more and more aware of the nature of power.

This also allows him to better understand the swordsmanship that he has been pursuing since time immemorial.

“The realm of martial arts is actually the refining and utilization of power. But the warriors in the land of Jiuyou did not realize that the physical body is a raft to cross the river. If you simply pursue the power of true qi and ignore yourself, you will be abandoning the root and chasing the end. Edgewood begs for fish.”

“Training the body and mastering the subtle strength of every muscle of each finger, only then can we better understand the combination of true qi and the physical body. Then the so-called nine realms of martial arts can be broken through in one go.”

After a long time, Shen Zhenyi continued to teach.

“You said it…it’s easy…” Chu Huoluo was out of breath, “Even if…you’re right, then…in just three months…how could it have changed so much?”

Although this is only the first day, the smart girl already understands that there is no end to the exercise of her body, and this is a practice that takes a long time to complete.

Shen Zhenyi stopped and watched her staggering forward, showing a look like a smile.

“In this case, after all, we still have to use some quick methods.”

Martial arts practice, of course, pays attention to one step at a time, but occasionally opportunistic, Shen Zhenyi does not think that there is any mistake, it is nothing more than that he must pay more to make up for it in the future.

Many people also have no choice. Only by taking care of the present can there be a future.

When Chu Huoruo returned to the White Pagoda exhausted, she found a huge wooden bucket in front of Shen Zhenyi. The wooden bucket was full of boiling water, and white smoke curled up in the mild cold of early spring.

“What’s this?”

Chu Huoluo felt like a bathtub, but who would put a bathtub in the open air?

“Medicated bath.” Shen Zhenyi said concisely.

Chu Huoluo was lying on the edge of the wooden barrel and found that the water in the barrel was a strange dark green, with some shrunken leaves and grass stems floating on it, bubbling with bubbles, making people shudder.

“This… is not good…” She was at a loss, her face blushed because of her shyness, “Young master, how can I change clothes and bathe here? It’s not that I won’t let you… but… always be polite…”

She became increasingly incoherent.

Shen Zhenyi stretched out her hand to mention it, and Chu Huoruo only felt that she was flying like clouds and fog. Obviously, the third son’s hand didn’t touch him, how could he feel like he was lifted up by something? Could it be that this is the legendary dragon catcher in Jianghu? Alas, he… what is he going to do? Could it be that you want to use strength, this… I’m still so young…

When Chu Huoluo was thinking about it, she heard a pop, and the whole person and clothes fell into the water. Only then did she realize that Shen Zhenyi threw her directly into the bathtub.

It turned out… There was no need to undress, Chu Huoluo’s pounding heart finally fell back to its original place, but she felt a little lost for some reason.

The water in the tub was not as hot as I imagined, but it was very comfortable to soak in cold water.

“This water is not hot, how can it be opened?” There were still boiling bubbles around her body, Chu Huoruo was curious, forgot to be shy, and asked.

Shen Zhenyi turned around and turned her back to the tub. The little girl was making a fuss, and she was still showing her curves when she fell into the water. Unexpectedly, although she is thin, she is not useless. According to the etiquette of this world, it is the right to see no evil.

“Because of adding a lot of cold herbs, the boiling point has dropped.” Shen Zhenyi answered simply.

But this answer means nothing to Chu Huoluo, she doesn’t understand what the boiling point is at all. However, she knew that with Shen Zhenyi’s style, even if she asked again, it would only lead to nowhere. It’s the herbs that make the water less hot anyway, and this vague explanation is enough for girls.

“This medicinal bath is quite comfortable. I heard from my grandma that the medicinal bath is to cut the hair and wash the marrow. How can it hurt at all—ah!”

Chu Huoluo’s nagging was interrupted by a scream.

Then came the throbbing sound of pain.

Just now I said that it didn’t hurt, but after soaking for a short time, the medicinal power penetrated into the skin and began to stimulate the flesh, bones and meridians. Chu Huoluo suddenly felt as if ten thousand ants were biting her body. The tiny pains all over her body gathered in one place. She almost suffocated and fainted on the spot.

After that, the medicinal properties penetrated into the bone marrow, and it was more like a small knife, which made people sore and unbearable. Even a tough guy can’t hold it, let alone Chu Huoluo is just a pampered little girl?

How can it not hurt to cut the hair and wash the marrow?

What’s more… the most overbearing drug is used.

Shen Zhenyi looked up at the sky, as if he had never heard of it.
