Something's wrong with this demon.

The air suddenly froze.

A brief silence fell over the cave.

But Zhang Dashan quickly withdrew his hand, smiling broadly, and said, "The water has indeed cooled down. Junior Brother Luo, would you like me to add some hot water for you? It's not good for your health to take a cold shower."

His smile was warm, and his tone was caring, as if he were a brother.

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

Luo Qingchen's expression remained calm: "But no need, I think it's just right."

"Is it just right?"

Zhang Dashan shrugged and said nothing more: "Alright, you can take your time washing, I'm going to cultivate."

After saying this, he smiled slightly, turned around, and walked out of the cave.

When he reached the darkness outside the cave, he raised his finger, put it to his nose, and smelled the water stains on it. A cold, mocking smile crept onto his lips.

Silence returned to the cave.

Luo Qingchen remained motionless, immersed in the medicinal water in the wooden tub, without making any further movement.

Half an hour later, he secretly used a stone shard to cut the wound on his wrist from the previous night in the water, and, enduring the pain, began to squeeze the blood into the water.

His gaze remained fixed on the cave entrance from beginning to end.

Inside the body, the vital blood in the first health bar began to drain rapidly.

95%, 90%, 85%, 80%...

When he reached 70%, he slowly loosened his grip on the wound.

At that moment, everything went black before my eyes, and I felt dizzy.

"Heal!"

He didn't dare delay and immediately used his second spare health bar.

The blood in the second reserve health bar quickly decreased from 120% to 100%; while the blood in the first health bar instantly increased from 70% to 90%.

The dizziness in my head immediately disappeared, and my vision returned to clear.

Aside from his pale complexion not recovering immediately, his vitality had been restored in the blink of an eye!

He took a deep breath and began to feel the changes in the medicine in the wooden tub.

The 25% blood quickly dispersed in the medicinal solution, and as he stirred the water with his arm, the blood rapidly dissolved into all the medicinal solution.

At first, everything was calm.

But soon, the clear, cloudy color of the medicine began to change.

The medicine started to turn red, and then turned dark brown.

At that moment, Luo Qingchen immediately felt waves of icy energy, as if they were living things, rushing into her body through every pore.

The muscle soreness was relieved instantly.

Those cool sensations began to frolic and chase each other throughout the muscles of the body.

"hiss--"

Luo Qingchen felt so comfortable that she couldn't help but tremble all over.

This process lasted for a full half hour.

When he looked down at the medicine in the wooden tub again, the medicine, which had been dark brown half an hour ago, had returned to its original light and cloudy color.

At this moment, the soreness in his muscles had completely disappeared.

At the same time, he could clearly feel that his muscles were full of power, and there was a slight coolness hidden within them, still flowing slowly.

The medicinal effects in the medicine have been fully absorbed.

However, it was not all refined.

These next few days, he needs to make the most of the medicine's effects hidden in his muscles to train and achieve the best results!

He looked inside his body again.

The number next to the first health bar has indeed changed: [Meat Refining: 10/100]

After a whole day of cultivation, enduring excruciating pain, I only achieved 1/100; but now, after just half an hour of medicinal bath, I've already increased to 10/100. Medicinal baths are indeed crucial for cultivation!

"Whoosh!"

He didn't dare to delay, immediately got up from the wooden tub, put on his clothes, and prepared to seize the time to continue his cultivation.

Of course, the medicine in the wooden bucket must be poured out first.

He gripped the top edge of the wooden bucket with both hands and slowly tilted it. The medicine inside immediately began to flow out, falling into the corner, flowing down the wall, and quickly sinking into the soil.

Only then did he realize that he seemed to have gained a lot of strength.

After pouring out the medicine, he placed the wooden bucket at the entrance of the cave and then carefully checked the corner again. He found that all the medicine had sunk to the ground and there was no other smell in the air, so he left with peace of mind.

After exiting the main cave, he glanced at the cave not far to his right.

The cave was hidden by weeds, so he couldn't see or hear anything inside, but he knew that Zhang Dashan was cultivating inside.

The opponent is about to break through.

Once you break through to the Strong Bone realm, the power contained within your muscles will become extremely strong.

He could probably kill an ordinary person with just one punch.

Therefore, he also needs to hurry!

He immediately headed towards the cave on the left, ready to make the most of every second to cultivate.

"Croak—"

A night raven flew through the woods.

The already dim silver moon in the night sky quietly hid behind the clouds.

The entire mountain forest was as black as ink.

Luo Qingchen picked up some withered branches and leaves and quietly scattered them outside the cave entrance before entering the cave to begin her cultivation.

First, stand on the rock.

After the medicinal bath, his body had recovered to its peak condition.

The pain and fatigue from the day have completely disappeared.

He felt his body brimming with vitality and strength!

This time, he stood on the rock for a longer time, and then began to practice the Mountain Embracing Fist.

The night outside the cave quietly faded away.

Before I knew it, it was already daylight outside.

After finishing the last round of Baoshanquan, Luo Qingchen sat down on the ground, covered in sweat.

My muscles are still sore, but much better than yesterday.

After a medicinal bath, the body's endurance and stamina are clearly enhanced.

He couldn't wait to look at the cultivation progress within his body.

The original 10/100 has now grown to 25/100!

"Wow, that's fast!"

He was thrilled, and could clearly feel his skin and flesh becoming firmer, the effects of the tempering were very obvious.

At the same time, he could also sense that the medicinal effects hidden in his muscles had not yet been fully refined.

He needs to continue his training!

However, he needs to confirm his safety before proceeding.

After resting for a while, he got up and left the cave, first entering the main cave and then heading to the innermost cave. At the entrance, he respectfully asked, "Master, do you have any instructions?"

After a moment, Tian Feng's somewhat impatient voice came from inside the cave: "I said I will be in seclusion for the next few days. If anything happens, I will call you."

"Yes."

Luo Qingchen didn't dare say anything more and immediately left.

That would be best!

In this way, he will have more time to cultivate!

He exited the main cave, paused, and then came to the cave on the right. He stopped at the entrance and said to those inside, "Senior Brother, Master is in seclusion and doesn't want to be disturbed. Is there anything you need to tell me?"

Zhang Dashan's somewhat chilling voice came from inside the cave: "No, I'm also in seclusion. Don't disturb me these next few days! Just wait patiently for your master!"

"Okay, senior brother."

Luo Qingchen agreed and immediately retreated back to her cave.

After resting for another half hour, the soreness in my body had been relieved.

He continued his cultivation.

Night fell quickly, and the cultivation progress had increased from 25/100 to 35/100!

This time, I really couldn't hold on any longer.

Back in the main cave, after eating some dry rations, he lay down wearily in a corner and quickly fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

The next day.

As soon as it was light, he got up and left the cave, returning to his own rock cave to continue his cultivation.

After five consecutive days of this, the cultivation progress within the body had increased to 70/100!

At this point, the effects of the medicine in the body had been completely exhausted.

The pace of cultivation slowed down, and the pain in all the muscles in my body could no longer be relieved quickly.

He needs to have a second medicinal bath!

The book says that in the early stages of cultivation, one should take a small bath every three days and a large bath every five days.

He couldn't manage to bathe every three days, but if he couldn't manage to bathe every five days, then he definitely wouldn't be able to continue cultivating.

That night, he dragged his tired and aching body back to the main cave, ready to get a good night's rest.

Just as he lay down in the corner, Tian Feng's voice suddenly came from deep within the cave: "Is anyone outside?"

Luo Qingchen immediately endured the pain and got up, going to the entrance of the inner cave and respectfully asking, "What are your orders, Master?"

Tian Feng said in a calm tone, "Come in."

Luo Qingchen's expression hardened, and she had already guessed what was going on.

But instead of being afraid, his heart raced and he became secretly excited.

"Come here, I need some more blood."

When Tian Feng saw him come in, he immediately took out a dagger and the large bowl of blood, without asking a single question about his recovery.

Luo Qingchen walked over with trembling legs, knelt on the ground, and stretched out her arms.

Tian Feng didn't say another word. He raised his dagger, cut his wrist, and began to squeeze out the blood.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock..."

The blood flowed from a slow to a fast pace into the bowl.

Luo Qingchen's arms trembled, but she kept her head down and didn't make a sound.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the cave.

Zhang Dashan appeared at the cave entrance, his face beaming with excitement, and exclaimed, "Master! I've broken through! I've broken through!"

Tian Feng raised his head and looked at him, his face still showing little emotion. He said in a calm tone, "It's good that you've broken through. You still need to consolidate your breakthrough in the next few days."

He paused, then said, "Punch the stone wall next to you with all your might, and I'll see the effect."

"yes!"

Zhang Dashan immediately clenched his fist, took a deep breath, and slammed it against the wall next to him.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud!

He actually cracked several fissures in the hard stone wall with his fist!

Zhang Dashan's face was practically overflowing with excitement and joy. He withdrew his fist and said, "Master, I feel my strength has increased many times over, and I can barely feel any pain!"

Tian Feng nodded slightly: "With successful flesh refinement, both explosive power and the defense of the skin and flesh will be higher than that of ordinary people."

Zhang Dashan looked at his fist with undisguised joy.

By this time, the large bowl on the ground was filled with blood.

Tian Feng released his grip, tossed out a piece of ginseng and venison, and said to Luo Qingchen in front of him, "Go out and get some rest."

"Yes, Master."

Luo Qingchen picked up the piece of meat from the ground and stood up shakily.

He had only taken two steps when his legs suddenly gave way and he almost fell. He staggered to the wall, grabbed it for support, and slowly walked outside.

Zhang Dashan stood at the cave entrance, a joyful smile on his face, but his gaze was cold as he looked at him.

Luo Qingchen walked slowly past him without saying a word.

After he left, Zhang Dashan entered the cave and respectfully asked, "Master, do you want another medicinal bath?"

Tian Feng picked up the large bowl of blood from the ground and carefully poured it into the boiling pot in front of him, saying, "Only the last step is left. I estimate that after the medicinal bath tonight, I'll have about three more days before I break through. Then, we can return to the sect."

Zhang Dashan quickly offered his congratulations: "Congratulations, Master!"

Tian Feng picked up a wooden stick and slowly stirred the medicinal broth in the pot, saying, "I can only take one person back to the sect."

Zhang Dashan was taken aback upon hearing this.

Tian Feng didn't even glance at him, his eyes still fixed on the pot, and said in a calm tone, "At that time, I will need a fresh corpse."

A glint flashed in Zhang Dashan's eyes, and he lowered his head, saying, "This disciple understands."

Tian Feng didn't say anything more. He closed his eyes, gently sniffed the bloody smell coming from the pot, and a look of enjoyment appeared on his face.

In the darkness outside, Luo Qingchen lay in a corner, not asleep.

He is waiting for his second medicinal bath.
