From a slave to the Great Qian Martial Saint

"Is it absolutely necessary to take it off?"

After dawn, in the medicine hut, next to the bath tub where the medicinal solution had been prepared, Chen Shi clutched the last piece of undergarment, looking at Mu Yunsheng with some embarrassment.

"A doctor sees no gender."

Mu Yunsheng stood to the side, holding a needle case in her hand, her face expressionless.

In order to encourage Chen Shi to absorb the essence of those strange beasts in his body, in addition to the medicinal bath, acupuncture stimulation is also needed.

The essence and blood of that person were closely intertwined with Chen Shi's blood and qi, so the acupuncture treatment had to be extremely precise and constantly adjusted. It was not impossible to do it through clothes, but it might affect the effect.

"All right."

Chen Shi let out a breath and took off his last undergarment.

If Mu Yunsheng, a young lady, doesn't mind, why should he, a grown man, be so coy?

"He is indeed exceptionally gifted."

Mu Yunsheng glanced at it and nodded slightly.

Chen Shi, who had just been trying his best to remain calm, instantly lost his composure and blushed.

However, before he could think any further, Mu Yunsheng had already stuck a silver needle into his calf.

Mu Yunsheng squatted down in front of Chen Shi, her hands moving nimbly like turning flowers. In the blink of an eye, she had stuck hundreds of needles into Chen Shi's legs, making them look like a hedgehog.

"Guard your mind and restrain your thoughts; do not let your mind wander."

Raising his head, he involuntarily leaned back, and Mu Yunsheng let out a soft hum as he inserted a needle into Chen Shi's lower abdomen.

Once the lower body was sufficiently bound, Mu Yunsheng stood up and let Chen Shi enter the bathtub.

Chen Shi moved gently, avoiding touching the needles that had already been inserted.

Standing in the bathtub, Mu Yunsheng then continued to apply acupuncture to his upper body.

After a short while, Chen Shi's entire body was covered in bandages.

"Soak it all in."

Mu Yunsheng gave an order, then picked up a piece of quicklime from the side and threw it in.

Chen Shi took a deep breath, half-squatted, and submerged his head and body completely in the water.

When quicklime was added, the water instantly began to boil, and the temperature of the liquid also rose.

Mu Yunsheng added quicklime piece by piece until the entire bucket of liquid had boiled, and then he stopped.

Chen Shi remained completely still even while immersed in the water.

Mu Yunsheng couldn't help but chuckle. Fortunately, Chen Shi was tough and resilient; otherwise, the boiling medicinal liquid alone would have been unbearable for most people.

In reality, Chen Shi's strength wasn't simply due to his thick skin, but rather because of his divine power, which made him impervious to heat and cold.

Mu Yunsheng stood to the side, watching the temperature of the medicine. When it cooled down a little, he added quicklime.

In addition, every fifteen minutes, Chen Shi was made to stand up so that the silver needles on his body could be adjusted.

This continued for nearly an hour, and the original bucket of medicinal liquid had completely turned into quicklime, completely enveloping Chen Shi.

If it were an ordinary person, even if they weren't burned to death, they would suffocate.

Fortunately, Chen Shi possessed a seventh-grade cultivation level, and his aura was profound and far-reaching, far surpassing that of ordinary people.

Having finished what needed to be done, Mu Yunsheng washed her hands and continued with her business.

He ignored Chen Shi.

As the bamboo tube outside the door dripped water, time slowly passed, and the bathtub began to tremble slightly.

Bang!

A moment later, a muffled thud was heard, and the machine suddenly burst open in four pieces, with Chen Shi naked jumping out from inside.

All the silver needles on his body had been wrapped tightly in lime and pulled out.

"Hurry up and practice your skills. Whether you can absorb the essence blood of those strange beasts depends on this."

Mu Yunsheng spoke, his brows furrowing slightly as he looked at the lime scattered on the ground.

It should have been done outside the house.

Chen Shi disregarded everything else, not even putting on his clothes, jumped outside the door, and immediately unleashed his double attack with the stinging scorpions.

As his martial arts prowess guided him, his blood and qi surged within him. At the same time, the essence blood of the strange beasts that had already been 'melted' began to be devoured bit by bit by Chen Shi's own blood and qi, and then completely assimilated!

Sensing the changes within himself, Chen Shi was filled with excitement and practiced even more diligently.

After about an incense stick's time, the essence and blood in the body seemed to have stopped moving much.

Chen Shi frowned, but his movements did not stop.

"what!"

When practicing the part about scorpions, one can't help but let out a roar.

Whoops!

As the blood energy solidified throughout his body, a scorpion tail, completely covered in dragon scales, suddenly lashed out from behind him.

The barb at the end gleamed with a cold light, and suddenly pierced forward like lightning—it was the move corresponding to the scorpion in the Double Kill of the Claw Scorpion.

"This is."

Chen Shi was taken aback when he saw the old bamboo that had been cut down.

Then, looking at the scorpion's barbed tail that was stretched out in front of him and swaying, he slightly widened his eyes.

With his blood and qi completely solidified, he achieved the late stage of the seventh rank cultivation.

Putting aside further thought, Chen Shi practiced the Twin Kills of the Claw and Scorpion five or six more times. Only when the essence of the strange beast within his body had indeed stopped moving did Chen Shi stop.

After entering the house and getting dressed, he walked up to Mu Yunsheng.

Mu Yunsheng gestured for Chen Shi to sit down and took his pulse.

"The essence of the strange beasts in your body can be roughly divided into two parts."

A moment later, Mu Yunsheng withdrew his hand, his expression serious.

"One part originated from a single, extremely powerful beast. The weaker part, however, came from many different beasts."

"Now, you have completely absorbed all the miscellaneous essence blood of those strange beasts. It is precisely because of the absorption of this essence blood that your blood energy has increased, and thus your cultivation level has also improved."

"However, the essence of that powerful beast's blood could not be shaken."

"That portion of the essence blood wasn't absorbed..."

Chen Shi frowned and asked in a low voice.

"In other words, I will still be affected by that essence blood, thus turning into a beast."

That's the logic.

Mu Yunsheng nodded, his gaze also solemn.

As a conservative treatment, the success rate was already low, but as Chen Shi's friend, Mu Yunsheng couldn't help but feel a little down.

"Could we try a few more times?"

Chen Shi spoke again, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

If once doesn't work, try twice or three times; perhaps you can absorb the essence of the dragon as well.

"no."

Mu Yunsheng shook his head and said with absolute certainty.

"That essence blood is too powerful. It cannot be shaken by this level alone. It's not a matter of how many times you try."

"All right."

Chen Shi nodded with a wry smile and said nothing more.

He had done his best, but things didn't go as planned, so what else could he say?

He then rallied his spirits, believing that if he could find the array diagram within a year, he could still get the dragon to remove the essence blood.

He still has a year left, and he can also look for other methods.

Now is not the time to be discouraged!

Moreover, this wasn't without its gains; absorbing the essence and blood of those miscellaneous strange beasts from the Fufeng Society allowed him to advance his cultivation level once again.

With the late stage of the seventh rank and the withered wood divine body, he should be able to put up a fight against a true sixth-rank minor grandmaster!

In this way, his chances of winning the subsequent selection of the chief steward will increase even further!

"Thank you so much this time!"

Chen Shi stood up and bowed to Mu Yunsheng in thanks.

He went outside again and began practicing the Elephant King Stance.

He had already mastered the Double Kill technique of the Claw and Scorpion, and was now at the late stage of the seventh rank, so he no longer needed to cultivate the Condensation Martial Arts to improve his realm.

In this way, most of the time and energy can be used to cultivate the Elephant King Stake, so as to advance to the Profound Rank as soon as possible and condense a high-level divine body!
