Body Refinement for Longevity: From Health Cultivation Exercises to Overcoming All Techniques

In the end, Chen Han bought three catties of exotic beast meat for 150 taels of silver. Before leaving, Aunt Xue'er said something meaningful to him.

"Eating meat is a blessing, but don't overeat and die..."

Overeating?

What a joke! He hasn't eaten meat in ages. If he were to eat all this, it would probably all be in his stomach within two days.

Confused, Chen Han left, carrying a heavy sack. His mind was filled with thoughts: 'I wonder if this will be enough for me to rebuild my bones and muscles.'

If that's not possible, then the only option is to save up money.

He didn't know how long it would take to save up.

Chen Han returned to his residence, washed up casually, lay down on the bed, and was about to fall asleep when an arm hugged him.

She's a daughter-in-law; she sweats easily, and her hands are covered in blisters of all sizes from being scalded by hot oil. This is typical of people who cook in the kitchen for a long time.

In such a humid and hot environment, the situation is even more serious for women with weak constitutions, who are more likely to contract ailments such as heat rash and stomach aches.

In a year, he earned only two or three taels of silver. Even so, this assistant was someone Shen Wuren had asked to find; many commoners couldn't even get one by robbing him.

Chen Han felt a pang of sadness, but at the same time, his resolve to pursue martial arts became even stronger.

At this moment, Shen Wan'er felt a strong sense of security. Her father was getting old, but the family had produced an even more successful person, her husband who shared her bed.

"Life is getting better and better. As long as my father and I work hard to earn money to help my husband recover, we'll finally see the light at the end of the tunnel."

"Father said Chen Han is an extraordinary person with an immeasurable future. The Chen family misjudged him, which is why she's so fortunate to have such a man."

Then she thought of Aunt Wang, who often boasted in front of others that her nephew had learned martial arts. "Hmph, what's so great about that? My husband even killed Master Xiong!"

Shen Wan'er was filled with pride, but at the same time she was also worried, afraid that one day Chen Han would abandon his wife who had shared his hardships and never come back.

······

The next morning, after eating, Shen Wuren went to work. Before leaving, he told Chen Han to come to him if he ran out of money. Chen Han was both amused and exasperated.

I wonder what Shen Wuren's expression would be if he knew that the meat he bought with 150 taels of silver might not even be enough to last two months.

This morning, Ms. Lu was at home mending clothes for others, often earning a few copper coins.

She slept soundly that night and was unaware of what had happened. Shen Wuren was afraid she would gossip, so he didn't tell her either.

Chen Han went to the kitchen, placed the beast meat on the cutting board, and cut off a piece the size of a fist.

He then placed the meat pieces in a bowl, added wine and ginger slices, and marinated them for a while.

The essence of the exotic beast meat, like that of ordinary meat, is contained within its flesh and blood. This does not diminish its efficacy; on the contrary, it removes the strong fishy smell, preventing vomiting due to nausea when eating it.

So-called high-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods. Chen Han took out the rapeseed oil that he treasured at home, poured a little into the pot, and after the oil was hot, he poured in the ginger shreds and garlic all at once.

Once it's almost fragrant from stir-frying, put in the whole fist-sized piece of the strange beast meat and cook it by frying.

Finally, you get a steak that's browned on the surface and undercooked.

According to his understanding of the Chen family, this was the best way to handle it, ensuring the absolute preservation of qi and blood.

A rich aroma wafted out, instantly making Chen Han's eyes light up. He felt his fingers twitching and his mouth watering.

In both his past and present lives, he had never smelled such a sweet fragrance before. It was as if something extremely tempting was bewitching him, causing his body, which had not been satisfied with its vital energy for a long time, to tremble uncontrollably.

Chen Han couldn't resist any longer. He grabbed the meat and took a big bite. The meat was bursting with juice as soon as it entered his mouth, and it was incredibly sweet.

He finished the meat in a few bites, and still not satisfied, he cut off another piece and started cooking it.

Just as he was about to eat the third piece, a sudden thought flashed through his mind, and it felt as if a knife was slicing across the back of his head, grazing his scalp. He instantly realized what was happening.

Last night, Aunt Xue'er's meaningful words echoed in his mind, instantly making him break out in a cold sweat.

He just lost control!

"Why is that? I've eaten demon beast meat before when I was at the Chen family's house."

Chen Han recalled that when he successfully broke through the barriers in martial arts training and reached the Ming Jin level, his family had the opportunity to eat monster meat once a month, but it was only a small strip of meat the size of his little finger.

They didn't have his current magnanimity at all.

But there was no danger that would cause him to lose control.

Why is this?

Chen Han recalled the feeling just now; it was a strong physical craving, a craving like rain after a long drought, or an oasis in the desert.

"Could it be... because my body's energy and blood have been depleted for too long?"

After pondering for a long time, Chen Han realized that this was the only possibility.

He suddenly realized something, his expression hardening. "So it seems Aunt Xue'er saw through my background. What she said back then was purely out of kindness, a reminder."

Having figured this out, Chen Han couldn't help but feel a bit more favorably disposed towards this woman.

But then, he lost all interest in anything else. He was covered in sweat, and white heat emanated from his body. His skin was flushed, and there were even traces of blood in his veins.

Chen Han felt a scalding hot current surge from his stomach to his limbs and meridians, burning him with unbearable pain, making him feel like he was about to grind his teeth to powder.

Clearly, the potency of the exotic beast meat was kicking in.

Seeing that he was about to be defeated by a few pounds of meat, Chen Han immediately suppressed his hot temper, stood in a bow stance, and began to practice Tai Chi health preservation exercises.

At this moment, he was like a powder keg about to explode, and the Tai Chi health cultivation exercise was like a small hole at the bottom of the cave, slowly drawing out the overflowing Qi and Yang energy in his body to replenish his body through martial arts practice.

As his proficiency increased, the heat rushing to his head gradually subsided, and he noticed some mysterious changes in his body. The resilience of his tendons and veins, the strength of his bones, and the reserves of qi and blood in his body all seemed to have improved imperceptibly.

Is it just my imagination?

The path back to martial arts was right before his eyes, giving him a sense of unreality after a long period of silence.

Is it finally time for the humiliation, the humiliation, the humiliation, the compromises we've endured to finally be rewarded?

It wasn't until three hours later that Chen Han was convinced that this was not an illusion.

His bones and muscles...are indeed being rebuilt!

For a moment, he felt a surge of emotion, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"We can't afford to be reckless yet. This is only the initial stage of restructuring our bodies; the stats in each aspect have only seen almost imperceptible improvements. We must persevere and wait for the right time to achieve a complete transformation!"

By then, with my proficiency panel, I will be able to defeat all the martial arts apprentices of the Chen family of the same age with unstoppable momentum, and then monopolize most of the Chen family's martial arts training resources to break through to the level of martial artist or even martial master!

The martial arts masters of Black Lion City could kick one over with a single kick, and even the Black Mountain Gang, I was confident I could wipe them out without leaving a single one alive.

At that time, I will be the strongest person in Black Lion City.

As for Chen Qiuyu, I will definitely not let her go. Not to mention the family power behind her, even the clan elders will not be able to protect her.

Chen Han thus fell into the wonderful fantasy of being able to kill anyone who stood in his way.

After a long pause, he slapped himself. "Chen Han, you've really gotten too big for your britches! This is nothing, and you dare to think of anything!"
