Chapter 14 014 [Stealing the Pill]

Time passes slowly.

It was not until he felt a sense of fatigue in his kidneys and testicles that Chen Sheng began to practice the Nine Yang Sacred Art.

If the internal force of the Boy's Kung Fu is both refined and pure, then the internal force of the Nine Yang Holy Kung Fu appears to be particularly mellow, broad, vast and masculine.

As the route of the internal force changed, Chen Sheng's internal force began to surge like a surging river, flowing freely through the meridians throughout his body.

White smoke rose from the top of the head and a faint red light appeared under the skin. After flowing through the stomach and intestines, it refined the essence into qi in a short moment and digested most of the food.

The surging internal force is mighty and powerful, carrying the essence of food and rushing up along the Ren meridian, then flowing back down the Du meridian, circulating along the midline of the human body, repeatedly flushing the ancestral acupoint between the eyebrows.

The last key point of the Nine Yang Sacred Art is like a reef standing in the river. It looks small, but it is actually deeply rooted. It still stands still after the Nine Yang internal force has circulated for ninety-nine cycles.

"It's not ready yet!"

The opening of acupoints is a arduous process. Only with perseverance over many years can one achieve success.

Chen Sheng was not in a hurry. After consuming about 50% of the energy he had absorbed from dinner, he switched to practicing the Golden Bell Cover.

The Nine Yang Internal Force that had been worn away by the practice just now immediately rushed out of the twelve main meridians, without going through the eight extraordinary meridians, and flowed into the muscles and bones of the whole body from the meridians, weaving layers of red internal force threads in the skin, muscles, internal organs and bones.

As if covered with layers of soft armor, the whole body burst out with a dim red light, as if covered by a red bell.

As he breathed in and out, a low bell sound seemed to echo in the room for a long time.

Those silk-thin threads of internal force slowly nourished the cells throughout his body under the vibration of such internal force.

Until the energy absorbed from dinner was completely exhausted, the proficiency of "Golden Bell Cover" on the panel increased a little, and Chen Sheng suddenly opened his eyes.

The red light in his eyes slowly faded away, and the lava-like glow on his skin went out.

The cold moonlight from the window fell on him, and he changed from his godlike state to a mortal again.

"The time has come."

Chen Sheng looked out the window, looked at the crescent moon hanging in the sky, and let out a long breath.

As soon as he finished speaking, his muscles and bones suddenly contracted amid the crackling sound of frying beans, his facial muscles shifted, and his height suddenly shrank by half a head, turning him into a thin man with a pointed chin and monkey-like face.

Then he jumped out of the window, turned into a series of rapidly moving afterimages, and ran towards Yuhuang Temple in the moonlight.

Chasing Cicadas in Eight Steps: This is a superior Buddhist light skill. After practicing to a high level, one can take eight steps in a row and then briefly hover in the air to catch the summer cicadas flapping their wings and flying high in the sky.

A superb martial arts skill, coupled with a gray robe similar in color to moonlight, allows him to explore the imperial temple at night as if he were in an empty place.

But Chen Sheng, who was leaving his residence, didn't know that as soon as he stepped out of the door, Zhu Chongliu and Zhu Chongqi, who were sleeping soundly in another room, opened their eyes at the same time.

After getting dressed, the two of them headed towards the dense forest behind the mountain.

……

After years of night visits, Chen Sheng felt like he was going home.

With the thief talent of [Hide and Conceal], he concealed the sounds of his heartbeat, breathing and movement, climbed over high walls, avoided teams of patrolling monks, and came to a brightly lit pagoda deep in the Yuhuang Temple.

The golden bell hanging under the eaves of the pagoda swayed in the wind, making a pleasant, dull clanging sound.

The rich aroma of traditional Chinese medicine wafting through the window cracks in the night breeze revealed the location of the Dan Pagoda of Yuhuang Temple, where elixirs were refined and stored. "Over the past few years, the Buddhist scriptures I've copied under the name of the abbot have spread his fame as a Scripture Monk throughout the surrounding counties, earning me a fortune.

Let me do the math. One hundred and thirty-four copies of the Heart Sutra, twenty-six copies of the Diamond Sutra, eleven copies of the Shurangama Sutra, and six copies of the Ksitigarbha Sutra... in total they were sold for at least thirteen thousand taels, but I was left with only a mere three hundred taels.

Even capitalists of later generations would cry upon hearing about such a profit sharing ratio.

So, before I leave, I should exercise my subjective initiative and ask the temple for some compensation. It shouldn't be too much to ask for."

Just like knowledge can be shared infinitely, no matter how many martial arts secrets you have peeked at in the Sutra Library, the secrets will not be damaged in the slightest.

There is a limited number of elixirs in the Dan Tower. If anyone steals it, the temple will soon discover it and conduct a large-scale search for both internal and external thieves.

Therefore, Chen Sheng, who had been hiding in the Yuhuang Temple before, had never thought about the elixir.

However, since he has decided to leave, he naturally doesn't mind making some money before leaving.

Chen Sheng stood in the shadow of the pagoda, looking at the brightly lit nine-story building, took a deep breath of the hot air filled with the fragrance of medicine, and then jumped onto the first floor of the pagoda.

The clanging sound of the golden bell drowned out the already subtle sound of footsteps.

His figure soared up in the moonlight, passing by bright paper-pasted windows, and arrived at the top floor of the pagoda.

As the place closest to the sky in Yuhuang Temple, the elixirs stored here are the most precious.

As soon as Chen Sheng jumped to this level, he heard a series of low-pitched conversations.

“Brother Miaodan, you don’t know, the young lady who came to burn incense and pray for a child a few days ago was so smooth.

Even with my profound Buddhist knowledge, I would need to cast a spell six times a day to enlighten that young lady...

Fortunately, after half a month of worshiping Buddha, she finally became pregnant, and her junior brother was relieved.

I'm just feeling a bit under the weather, so I came to ask my senior brother for a pill to nourish my yin and kidneys to replenish my body."

"Junior Brother Miaogen is so lucky. I once saw that young lady from afar. She is indeed very fair and tender.

To be honest, it's really not that interesting to play with the wives and daughters of the tenants in the temple. The daughters and wives of wealthy families are better. They are beautiful and noble, which is incomparable to the country women in the mountains.

They say a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a mistress. I wonder if you, Senior Brother, have the chance to taste the taste of those noble ladies?"

"Okay, okay, as long as Senior Brother can give me some medicinal pills regularly.

The next time a noble lady comes to pray for a child, I will definitely use the incense to make her faint, and let my senior brother also help her have a child."

"Oh, I never thought that my vajra could one day be used to enlighten ignorant beings."

Then, the two monks burst into suppressed laughter.

After a moment, the senior brother spoke again.

"You are lucky, Junior Brother. My master is out tonight. He said he is going to the back mountain to capture a group of craftsmen from a secret society in the temple. He will be back around 3:00 AM. That's why you have the opportunity to take a Tiger Tendon Bone Strengthening Pill.

This is the Yang-nourishing and Yin-tonifying pill that was just produced today. A total of more than eighty pills have been refined.

After I take one from you, I'll rub some medicinal mud off the other pills and make a new one. I'll make sure no one can tell."
