Courtyard House: Starting by inheriting the tradition and suppressing the barbarians.

Li Xuan gripped the rough door-locking bar, about to pull the bolt open, but suddenly stopped.

He noticed that outside the door, Jia Zhangshi's cursing was still quite jarring.

But the mother, Su Yun, seems to have stopped responding.

You could only vaguely hear her whispering to comfort her younger sister who was crying from fright.

"Since he didn't just break down the door, it means he's still a little wary."

Li Xuan calmed down.

The most urgent task now is not to act rashly.

Instead, it aims to completely improve this weak body.

Although I drank the spring water, it was only a temporary solution.

To cure the root cause, we still need the Marrow Cleansing Pill!

More importantly, my mother had been working hard for many years and had long suffered from chronic illnesses.

His younger siblings suffered from severe malnutrition, and were pale and thin.

If you don't take good care of your health, even if you drive away the jackals, you won't be able to fight off the endless stream of tigers and leopards that follow.

"Let's increase our strength first, then teach these beasts a lesson!"

Having made up his mind, Li Xuan did not rush out, but turned back to the kang (a heated brick bed) and sat down cross-legged.

He poured out a marrow-cleansing pill from the jade bottle.

The pill was milky white and emitted a faint fragrance that made one feel refreshed with just one whiff.

Without any hesitation, Li Xuan put the pill directly into his mouth.

The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, transforming into a powerful surge of heat that rushed down the throat and into the abdomen!

Immediately afterwards, the heat surged like a flood bursting its banks, violently washing over his limbs, bones, and internal organs.

"hiss!"

Li Xuan couldn't help but gasp.

pain!

The pain that goes deep into the bone marrow!

It felt as if countless ants were gnawing at the crevices of my bones, or as if all the bones in my body had been shattered and reassembled.

He gritted his teeth, desperately trying to hold onto the last vestige of clarity in his mind.

He knew that the medicine was reshaping his body and expelling impurities and toxins that had accumulated in his body over the years!

I don't know how much time passed.

The excruciating pain gradually subsided, replaced by an unprecedented feeling of comfort.

It felt like a huge burden had been lifted, and I felt light and airy.

Li Xuan opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.

At this moment, he was covered from head to toe in a layer of dark, greasy filth, emitting a nauseating stench.

"This body's constitution is too poor, yet it has expelled so many toxins."

Li Xuan frowned in disdain.

With a thought, he entered the Purple Cloud Space once again.

He took a refreshing bath by the spring.

When Li Xuan washed away the grime and saw his reflection in the water, he was stunned.

Her originally sallow and dry skin has now become fair and jade-like, with a faint glow of health.

Although his slender body lacked exaggerated muscle mass, it had smooth lines and was full of explosive power!

Even his facial features have become more defined and three-dimensional.

With those looks and that aura, it's like she's a completely different person!

He's definitely the most handsome young man in the courtyard!

"The effects of this Marrow Cleansing Pill are truly miraculous!"

Li Xuan clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him, and a confident smile appeared on his lips.

Now, let alone Jia Zhangshi, even if a wild boar came, he could knock it down with one punch!

After dealing with himself, Li Xuan thought of his family.

The system indicates that the Marrow Cleansing Pill can be given to others, but it needs to be diluted.

Moreover, the effects of this Marrow Cleansing Pill are too potent. If the changes are too drastic, he wouldn't know how to explain it in a short time.

Then, Li Xuan had a sudden inspiration and took out a large water jug, filling it with spiritual spring water.

Then, crush a Marrow Cleansing Pill and dissolve it in water.

The diluted medicine is much milder, which is just right for them.

After exiting the space, Li Xuan changed into clean clothes, pushed open the door, and walked out.

At this moment, Jia Zhangshi, who had been cursing outside, had just returned home to drink some water and prepare for the next round of attacks.

The courtyard was quiet.

Li Xuan pushed open the door to his mother's room.

The room was dimly lit, and Su Yun, the mother, was sitting on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) with tears streaming down her face.

He held his 5-year-old sister, Li Xiaoyu, tightly in his arms.

Li Tian, ​​the 12-year-old brother next to him, was clenching his fists and staring out the window with a resentful expression.

"Xiao Xuan? Why are you up? Has your fever gone down?"

Seeing her eldest son come in, Su Yun quickly wiped away her tears and asked with concern.

I don't know why.

He felt that his son seemed different in some way.

Not only did he seem to have grown taller, but his originally pale complexion had also become rosy and radiant.

He was full of energy and didn't look sick at all.

"Mom, I'm fine now, my fever has gone down."

Li Xuan walked over with a smile and placed the large water jug ​​on the table. "And I feel particularly healthy, like I have inexhaustible energy."

"Big brother! You're all better?" Li Tian jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed) in surprise.

"elder brother..."

Xiaoyu timidly peeked out, tears still clinging to her big eyes.

Looking at this family, Li Xuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

He took out a few pieces of milk candy from his pocket.

These are the snacks given in the newbie gift pack.

"Come on, Xiaotian, Xiaoyu, have some candy."

"Wow!"

The two little ones' eyes lit up instantly.

But the sensible children didn't reach out immediately; instead, they looked at their mother.

"Don't worry, it wasn't stolen, it was given to me by a friend," Li Xuan told a white lie.

"Eat it, it's from your brother," Su Yun said with a smile, trusting Li Xuan completely.

Immediately afterwards, the two little ones started scrambling for it.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Xuan picked up a few bowls and poured out the "added spiritual spring water" from the pot.

"Mom, Xiaotian, Xiaoyu, this water is divine water that I begged the gods to give me."

"Drinking this will strengthen your body and make you less prone to illness in the future."

"Don't talk nonsense, kid. There's no such thing as magic water in this world."

Su Yun scolded him, but still picked up the bowl and took a sip.

Upon hearing this, her eyes widened instantly.

Sweet!

Refreshing!

The most amazing thing is that as soon as the water goes down, a warm current flows through the whole body.

My back and waist, which had been aching from years of overwork, were instantly relieved!

"This water..." Su Yun looked at his son in shock.

"Mom, don't ask yet, just finish it quickly, it's good for your health." Li Xuan smiled mysteriously.

Soon, the whole family finished drinking the water.

The effect is immediate.

The sallow complexion on Xiaoyu's face quickly faded, and she became rosy like a little apple.

Li Tian felt a surge of heat throughout his body, as if he had inexhaustible energy.

Su Yun felt as if she had become ten years younger and was full of energy.

Although it is only a diluted version of the Marrow Cleansing Pill, it is still a miraculous medicine that can transform an ordinary person!

"Alright, you guys rest for a bit, I'm going to the backyard."

Li Xuan didn't explain further; he needed to strike while the iron was hot.

Now that you have the physical fitness, brute strength alone is not enough; you also need skill.

This talent of "unparalleled comprehension" cannot be wasted.

Back in his room, after locking the door, Li Xuan entered the Purple Cloud Space again.

He walked straight toward the magnificent library.

Pushing open the heavy door, one enters the first-floor hall, where rows of bookshelves are neatly arranged.

Tai Chi Classics, Xingyi Quan Manual, Baguazhang, Tan Tui...

There are even medical classics such as "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases".

Li Xuan casually picked up a book on Tai Chi.

Turning to the first page, the obscure and difficult-to-understand text and diagrams suddenly became incredibly clear in his eyes.

It was as if a grandmaster was personally demonstrating and disassembling the problem in his mind.

After reading it once, the entire boxing manual was already memorized!

He assumed a stance on the open ground, striking a pose reminiscent of a wild horse parting its mane and a white crane spreading its wings...

The movements were a bit clumsy at first, but after just one round, they became fluid and effortless.

Within the body, a faint yet real sense of energy flowed slowly with each movement.

"Is this what Ming Jin (明劲) is?"

Li Xuan was overjoyed.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up the book "Xingyiquan".

Tai Chi emphasizes softness, while Xingyi emphasizes hardness.

One soft and one firm, combining both!

With the terrifying blessing of "unparalleled comprehension", it only took a few hours.

Li Xuan then mastered these two martial arts to a minor level, officially stepping into the threshold of Ming Jin!

At this time, he was not yet a top-tier expert.

But among ordinary people, that's already a "one against ten" situation.

"call!"

Li Xuan stopped his attack, exhaled a breath of stale air, and his eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

"My physical enhancement is complete, and I've begun to grasp the basics of martial arts."

"Jia Zhangshi, it's time to settle our scores!"
