From Beggar to Emperor: My Profession Has Its Own Characteristics

Chapter 104 Effects of Medicated Bath

Zhu Yuan simply smiled in response to Shen Hanshan's statement.

Judging from his smile, he seemed a little surprised that Shen Hanshan had directly pointed out the situation.

The two chatted briefly like that.

In conversations with Shen Hanshan, Shen Hanshan was basically the one initiating the topics.

Zhu Yuan's behavior suggests that he is gradually relaxing from a defensive stance.

"Let's skip the sparring now," Zhu Yuan shook his head and refused, giving his reason: "I've only been a martial artist for a short time, and there are many things I haven't mastered yet."

"Oh, I was wrong to think that through." Shen Hanshan immediately realized it was his fault, and then added, "How about this, Head Nurse Zhu, you can come find me anytime you want to spar and improve. I live in the courtyard in the northeast direction."

"it is good."

Zhu Yuan seemed to agree without much thought.

The two chatted for a while longer, and Shen Hanshan left without disturbing Zhu Yuan any further.

Watching Shen Hanshan's departing figure, Zhu Yuan quickly averted his gaze.

Say something.

If it weren't for the peddler's profession, Zhu Yuan felt he and Shen Hanshan would get along very well.

Chatting with Shen Hanshan gave him a comfortable feeling.

However, this is combined with what you see with your own eyes.

This Shen Hanshan is terrifying.

No wonder Lord He Zhengzhou always reminded him not to be deceived by appearances, as many things are not as simple as they seem.

Zhu Yuan knew that He Zhengzhou was reminding him to be careful of Situ Susu, but He Zhengzhou's reminder would have been much more effective on Shen Hanshan.

Under the blue characteristics of his peddler.

Let alone seeing a grayish-black hue, even just seeing gray would make Zhu Yuan feel very uncomfortable.

When Shen Hanshan finally left, he took one last look at the characteristics of a peddler.

The result remained unchanged.

"May I check again—"

Zhu Yuan thought to himself, shook his head again, and then took another step.

Speaking of gray with a hint of black, the Jiang family's gray with a hint of black is even darker.

Since becoming a bodyguard for the Situ family, Zhu Yuan has never seen Steward Jiang again.

He wondered if this Butler Jiang was avoiding him.

Jiang, the housekeeper, is now just a nobody to him; there's no need for him to go out of his way to find him.

Let's talk about it when we meet again.

Zhu Yuan is going back to take a medicinal bath now.

However, before taking the medicinal bath, he asked the servants of the Situ family to boil water for him.

Hot water makes medicinal baths more easily absorbed than cold water baths.

While the servants prepared hot water, he continued practicing the second posture of the Ming Jin chapter of Tianyun Zhuang Gong.

We have some free time anyway, so we can't waste it.

"Head Nurse Zhu, your hot water is here."

"Bring it over and put it here."

"Yes, Nurse Zhu."

Two servants from the Situ family carried a bucket of hot water to his side.

Zhu Yuan stopped what he was doing, looked at the height of the hot water in the bucket, and even reached out to test the water temperature.

The servants of the Situ family did a good job; they did everything according to his requirements.

The medicine packet used to assist in the practice of Tianyun Zhuang Gong has two parts. One part of the medicine should be thrown directly into hot water, and the other part should be applied to the body.

The medicine applied to the body is very particular.

The application of medicine varies depending on the posture. If four postures are performed consecutively, the application method is different.

Zhu Yuan has been able to maintain the first posture for an hour, and now he is focusing on the second posture.

The legs and lower back are the key areas to apply the cream for the second pose.

call!

"Comfortable!"

When the medicine was applied, several parts of my body felt cool. Then, when I entered the wooden tub and started soaking in the medicinal bath, the sensations of heat and coolness intertwined.

Feeling somewhat comfortable, Zhu Yuan couldn't help but let out a sound.

Not long after.

He felt itchy skin, especially in the areas where the medicine was applied.

This is the body absorbing it.

Faced with this itchy sensation, Master Dongduzhou told him that he must endure it and never scratch it with his hands.

Honestly, this feeling is hard to bear, especially since he can't distract himself.

The best way to control this feeling is to distract yourself; however, during a medicinal bath, you should pay special attention to the itchy areas.

Concentration can also improve absorption.

This medicine costs two taels of silver!

With this in mind, Zhu Yuan became even more focused.

Once the itching sensation subsided, he immediately got out of the tub and quickly moved on to the second position.

The results of the practice proved that the medicinal bath was very effective.

"Within ten days, I should be able to hold the second position for an hour as well."

The medicinal bath shortened his cultivation progress by at least five days, which is quite effective. In terms of time, it saves about one-third of his time.

Zhu Yuan felt that spending those two taels of silver was well worth it.

At this rate of cultivation, he should be able to reach the mid-stage of Ming Jin in about a month.

The transition from the early to the middle stage of Ming Jin is the shortest, and this situation naturally arises when dividing minor realms.

three days later.

Zhu Yuan woke up early, washed up, and stretched his limbs in the courtyard with full energy.

He knew that Situ Susu would come to see him today and arrange what he needed to do in the next few days.

Having served as a bodyguard for the Situ family for so long, he has yet to encounter any situation requiring him to take action.

Not long after, Situ Susu appeared at the entrance of the courtyard.

She was dressed in an elegant dress today, and walked with a composed gait.

"Susu, good morning." Zhu Yuan greeted the newcomer with a smile.

"Good morning, Zhu Yuan."

Situ Susu smiled and responded, then walked into the courtyard.

When she came to Zhu Yuan, before she could even start arranging things, Zhu Yuan took the initiative to ask a question.

"Susu, what do you think of that guard named Shen Hanshan?" Zhu Yuan looked at Situ Susu, his tone sounding like casual conversation.

"Have you been in contact with Shen Hanshan?" Upon hearing this, Situ Susu paused slightly, a look of surprise on her face, and asked Zhu Yuan.

"Yes." Zhu Yuan nodded, then said, "I ran into him three days ago."

That's what he said, but Zhu Yuan didn't really think it was a complete coincidence.

"Shen Hanshan, the bodyguard, is a decent person," Situ Susu replied after a moment's thought. "He comes from Tianhuang Martial Arts School, but I don't think he'll have any conflict with you."

Situ Susu was aware of the grudges and grievances between the five major martial arts schools in Qingyang County.

In her view, friction between forces is quite normal, because each side has its own interests.

"On the surface, he did treat me quite well."

Zhu Yuan did not deny this; he nodded in agreement.

Then, he changed the subject and immediately pressed for more information.

"So, whose side is Shen Hanshan on? Or rather, which side is he closer to within the manor?"
