Chapter 37 Medicated Bath
"Of all professions, only studying is noble!"
Bai Sheng calmed himself down.
He obediently sat back down at his desk.
Turn to the next lesson in your Chinese textbook.
It's a passage from the Zhuangzi.
"The breath of a true person comes from their heels, while the breath of ordinary people comes from their throats..."
This should be the third stage of body refining techniques, which is the Blood Removal Realm technique.
Unlike the previous two stages,
The core of the Blood Transformation Realm is no longer breathing exercises or the circulation of Qi.
It is not about the movement of Qi and blood throughout the body.
Use the fire of the heart as the furnace, and the energy of the body as the pump.
Forcefully direct the body's vital energy and blood from the limbs and bones into the dantian.
Under the influence of Qi, it is repeatedly compressed and purified.
Then pump it back into the body's meridians.
After each loop is completed
The density of blood and qi increases by one point.
The toughness of muscles, bones, skin, and membranes will increase.
Simply put, the first two stages train qi and strength, while the Blood Transformation Realm trains blood and flesh.
He first silently read the entire text three times, as was his custom.
I didn't memorize this text in high school; it contains quite a few uncommon characters.
But having the experience of memorizing "Exhortation to Learning" and four chapters of "Laozi",
When you recite it silently for the fourth time,
There have been some slight changes.
"Hmm?" Bai Sheng's heart skipped a beat.
I felt the energy in my dantian transform into a true energy star wheel.
Although it is not true innate true qi
But it's much stronger than internal energy.
At this point, there's no need for him to deliberately urge it on.
A wisp of true energy automatically separated and traveled down the spine.
It circled around the coccyx.
Then it is injected into both legs along the femoral artery.
The blood vessels in both legs swelled slightly under the influence of the internal energy.
"Hiss~"
Bai Sheng gasped.
It wasn't that painful.
It's mainly a feeling of soreness and distension that stretches outwards from the inner wall of the blood vessels.
It felt like something was slowly expanding in my blood.
Small black characters then appeared before my eyes.
【Red Dragon Blood-Moving Technique (Beginner): 0/5】+
"After several training sessions, I feel like I'm getting the hang of things much faster now."
Without hesitation, Bai Sheng mentally clicked the plus sign.
This time, he dared not tap five times like before.
If my body can't take it, then it's all over.
However, if his performance continues to be good, he can certainly add more points.
The moment cultivation points were deducted, the Star Wheel in my dantian accelerated wildly.
The true energy transformed into a scorching torrent, rushing from the perineum into the spine.
It rushes upwards along the Du meridian.
They temporarily gathered above their heads.
immediately,
True energy surged from the Baihui acupoint on the top of the head.
It then descends along the Ren meridian, where it intersects with the heart fire at the Tanzhong acupoint.
My heartbeat noticeably quickened by two beats.
Then it stabilized.
Boom, boom, boom!
Each strike carried a heavy, powerful force.
The flow of Qi and blood has begun!
Bai Sheng could clearly feel the blood flowing through his entire body.
Forced to change its flow direction under the influence of true energy!
It flows from the limbs and bones towards the dantian.
Bai Sheng felt completely comfortable.
Stand up and run around, jump around.
Hmm, I don't seem to feel dizzy at all.
It seems the tonics I took before laid a good foundation.
"Could we do it a few more times?"
[Cultivation Points: 13]
Bai Sheng hesitated for a moment, then invested two more cultivation points.
After finding the results were good, we simply went all out.
【Crimson Dragon Blood-Moving Technique (Great Perfection)】
"Well……"
I feel tightness in my chest.
But soon,
This feeling of oppression was replaced by a surge of pleasure.
The flow of Qi and blood between the heart and the dantian has been opened.
With each heartbeat, the blood pumped out is simultaneously nourished by the true qi of the dantian.
Then it is delivered to the whole body.
Bai Sheng raised his hand.
Take off your t-shirt.
Observe your own body.
A thin layer of light red sweat seeped from the skin.
According to the book, this is not actually blood.
During the process of blood and qi transport, some old tissue fluid is squeezed out of the blood vessels.
Bai Sheng sniffed.
It has a very faint rusty smell.
……
The whole process lasted less than two minutes.
Once the last wave of blood and energy returns to the extremities,
Bai Sheng opened his eyes and looked down at his arm.
The capillaries on the skin's surface bulge slightly, then quickly subside.
Inner side of the arm
Several very faint red lines can be vaguely seen.
It flashed by along the meridian.
He tried clenching his fist.
The force transfer throughout the arm is faster than before.
From shoulder to fist,
It looks like a single piece of forged iron.
"I'm still a little tired..."
Bai Sheng leaned back in his chair, catching his breath.
But I didn't feel dizzy or lightheaded like last time.
I've been taking Peiyuan San and Guben Wan for so long.
Their physical foundation is indeed very solid.
The energy expenditure from breaking through to the Blood Transformation Realm was mitigated by the medicinal effects.
I'm just a little sleepy.
His muscles were urging him to lie down and rest.
He closed his textbook.
Slowly walked to the bedside,
He buried his face down in the pillow.
Bai Sheng closed his eyes amidst the snoring.
Indistinctly
Sensing the animal language communication coming from the chubby orange cat behind me:
666, did you manage to train yourself to the point of exhaustion this time?
……
After waking up,
Bai Sheng did not slack off.
Turn to the page "Free and Easy Wandering" in your Chinese textbook.
I read it twice from beginning to end.
Discovering this technique is not something you can learn casually.
It must first undergo medicinal bath tempering.
First, get your body into its best condition.
otherwise,
There will be significant hidden dangers.
The Taoist book lists more than a dozen medicinal herbs.
Based on previous experience, he knew most of them.
Some of these medicines are extremely potent.
Special reminder marked.
"For external use only, not for oral consumption!"
He copied the prescription onto a sticky note.
I rode my bike to the same traditional Chinese medicine shop as last time.
To be honest, the medicinal herbs you have at home are quite effective, and the price is reasonable.
Upon entering,
The person sitting behind the counter
It was still that old pharmacist with gray hair.
They still use a steelyard to weigh the medicinal herbs.
Hearing the door open, he looked up.
I glanced at him over my reading glasses.
"Holy crap, it's you, kid!"
Bai Sheng walked to the counter and handed over the note:
"Make it this way."
The old pharmacist took the prescription.
I glanced down at it.
His brows furrowed.
Scorpion, centipede, aconite root, bupleurum root, strychnos nux-vomica, clematis root, spatholobus stem, ...
He read through the lines one by one.
His complexion grew increasingly grim.
At last,
Slap the recipe on the counter:
"Young man, don't blame me for being nosy..."
"This medicine of yours is going to kill you!"
"Which of these herbs, Aconitum carmichaelii, Aconitum kusnezoffii, or Strychnos nux-vomica, isn't highly poisonous?"
"Scorpions and centipedes? Are you preparing medicine or poison?"
Take my advice, don't eat just anything!
Bai Sheng's tone was indifferent.
"This is a family remedy that has been used for generations."
The old pharmacist was taken aback.
I picked up the prescription again and looked at it once more.
He muttered a few words to himself.
It was probably a mental calculation of the proportions of each ingredient.
"Young man, this looks like a topical medication, doesn't it?"
The experienced pharmacist clearly noticed it too.
after all,
External application formulas and internal administration formulas,
They are completely different in terms of compatibility logic.
If these narcotic drugs are used externally...
Combined with *Clematis chinensis* and *Lycopodium clavatum* as a guide,
It is indeed an extremely potent infiltration method.
But the expression on his face still showed hesitation.
Probably because they felt that such a strong external application method...
Soaking your body in it is not something that just anyone can enjoy.
