Mortal bone

"After soaking in the medicinal soup, the medicinal power must be stimulated by the method of breathing."

After adapting to the temperature of the medicinal soup, Xu Taiping began to breathe in the way taught in "Can Xia Gong". After a while, he felt the dantian in his lower abdomen began to become scorching hot.

The steps of breathing and exhaling were all taught by Zhenjun Ziyang during his lectures. Xu Taiping has tried many times in the past few days. Although he has never been able to refine the spiritual energy into his body, he is already familiar with the steps.

"hiss……"

Just when Xu Taiping was wondering why the medicine didn't take effect, he suddenly felt a piercing pain in the back of his chest, as if a nail was being hammered in bit by bit.

"If it hurts like this, it seems that I can still... Uh!"

Xu Taiping just wanted to say that he could still hold on, but he didn't expect to feel the same pain in his chest, which made him completely speechless.

What's even more frightening is that this is just the beginning.

After the pain in those two parts, various acupuncture points on his body began to experience intense pain, without giving him any chance to breathe.

Normally, under this kind of pain, people would pass out, but for some reason, Xu Taiping, who was soaked in this medicine soup, would not pass out no matter what kind of pain he felt, and could only go to Bear.

The pain lasted for an entire hour.

During the journey, Xu Taiping wanted to climb out of the bathtub countless times. Every time he had this thought, a picture of his grandfather dying would appear in his mind. He saw his grandfather looking at him with wide eyes and said:

"You have to fight for your breath, Taiping, you have to fight for your breath, for yourself, for everyone in this world!"

"Hu, hu, hu..."

Xu Taiping, who was panting heavily, leaned against the bathtub exhaustedly. After his breath calmed down, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and murmured proudly:

"Grandpa, grandson didn't embarrass you, did he?"

But at this time, although there was no major pain in his body, the small pain was still there.

This body gave him the feeling now, as if there were countless openings, and even a slight movement could tear these wounds and cause heart-pounding pain.

"At the end of seven days, I have to soak the bone-cutting marrow soup six more times, and there can't be a day's interruption in the middle, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted."

Thinking of having to endure six consecutive times of this level of pain in the future, even if his heart is as firm as his, he couldn't help but start to doubt whether he would be able to persist in the end.

……

six days later.

"The last time."

Looking at the steaming medicinal soup in front of him, Xu Taiping suddenly felt a world away.

The past six days were simply longer than the ten years he had spent.

After soaking in bone marrow decoction for six consecutive days, both mentally and physically, he has already endured to the limit.

He didn't even utter a word when he made the medicinal soup on the first day. He certainly didn't expect that in the next few days, he would howl in pain, cry in pain, and call his parents and grandpa in pain. .

Xu Taiping never thought that he would be so fragile.

It can be seen how strong the pain caused by this bone-washing marrow decoction is.

But even so, even though he was crying and shouting, Xu Taiping finally persisted until the seventh day.

Even during these seven days, he turned over the three acres of medicinal fields and planted all the seeds of the nine-leaf white perilla.

"Speak up, Xu Taiping, you have to hold your breath."

Xu Taiping, who hesitated before the bathtub for a long time, kept admonishing himself.

At this time, his face was pale, without any blood, and his body was even more emaciated. In just six days, he had lost at least twenty catties, and his whole body was on the verge of collapse.

"Snapped!"

In the end, Xu Taiping stepped into the bathtub, and his body was quickly engulfed by the white slurry.

"Uh!……"

Even though he wanted to endure it, the severe pain still made him scream out. If it weren't for the fact that there is no one in this area, he might have already attracted troublemakers.

Of course, this scream was not heard by anyone.

For example, Fairy Lingyue was turning into a cloud of green smoke and floating outside Xu Taiping's window at this moment.

"Little Taiping, it's the last day, hold on, it's all up to you whether you will embark on the journey to the sky from now on, or spend the rest of your life in a daze like that floating duckweed."

Listening to the painful groans in the room, Fairy Lingyue finally couldn't help muttering to herself.

"You said it lightly. The pain of washing the essence and cutting the marrow is better than the next day. By the seventh day, it is exactly seven times that of the first day. Without another prescription, who can persist?"

But as soon as she said this, she laughed at herself again with a wry smile, and at the same time she felt guilty for giving the prescription to Xu Taiping hastily.

……

An hour later.

"Actually... really survived?"

Fairy Lingyue showed an expression of disbelief when she saw strands of pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth coming towards the small courtyard like a tide.

This is the sign of success in washing the bone and cutting the marrow.

She, who had been afraid to look into the room before, couldn't help but look through the gap in the window.

In the bedroom, Xu Taiping, who had passed out, was lying halfway in the bathtub, the medicinal soup soaked under his body had already changed from jade white to jet black, and the one who dyed it black was precisely Xu Taiping who had been working non-stop. The filth seeping out of the body,

At the same time, the strands of heaven and earth spiritual energy that only Lingyue can see now, just like a gentle hand brushed past Xu Taiping's body continuously, and then penetrated into his body.

Fairy Lingyue looked at Xu Taiping in the house, and then at the newly renovated medicine garden behind the yard, with a smile on her lips:

"Originally, I just thought that time was running out for a gamble, but now it seems that this deity has not misjudged."

After saying this, her figure dissipated on the spot, leaving only a sentence echoing faintly in the small courtyard:

"Little guy, I have to refine the spirit crystals to extend my life for a few years. See you later."

……

The next morning.

When the first ray of sunlight came in from the window in the morning, Xu Taiping, who was still soaking in the bathtub, just opened his eyes.

He had the sweetest sleep he had ever had in his life.

"Am I... successful?"

After noticing the black slurry with a strong stench in the bathtub, instead of being frightened, Xu Taiping showed joy on his face.

Because according to the instructions of the cutting marrow soup, this is the sign of the success of washing the essence and cutting the marrow, and it means that the filthy things in the monk's body have been forced out, and he has truly possessed the qualifications for cultivation.

"Crash..."

Excited, Xu Taiping stood up from the bathtub, then ran naked to the wellhead in the backyard without any clothes on.

He first fetched a bucket of water to wash away the filth on his body, then sat down cross-legged on the spot, and started to use the qi refining method of "Cangxia Gong" on the spot.
