Fortunately, for the sake of strength, Xiao Chen could endure anything, and after five hours of cultivation, he successfully brewed the body quenching medicinal liquid.
"Tian Lao, should I take it directly now?" Xiao Chen heard the alarm sound of the electric casserole, so he asked, this high-end electric casserole is good, not only can set the temperature, but also set the time, and he is not afraid of overtime.
"You can take it, but after taking it, you need to exercise your body to fully absorb these medicinal properties." Tian Lao said.
"Exercising? Aren't I practicing every day?" Xiao Chen asked, unplugging the electric casserole and pouring the boiled medicinal liquid into a bowl.
"Exercise is different from self-cultivation. A self-cultivation adjusts breath, absorbs the aura of heaven and earth, and the essence of the sun and the moon and turns it into vitality in the body. However, exercise is to exercise the body, which is the so-called martial artist's cultivation method." Tian Lao said.
"Oh? That is to say, I need to exercise to fully display the medicinal power?" Xiao Chen asked.
"That's right!" Tian Lao said, "How did you exercise before, how will you exercise after a while, don't I need to tell you about these things?"
"I understand!" Xiao Chen picked up the medicine bowl, drank all the medicine liquid in it into his stomach, and then began to exercise his body like when he was cultivating inner strength before!
Before cultivating inner strength, there is a set of coordinated movements. Xiao Chen has been practicing this set of movements for more than ten years. Although he has not made any progress, Xiao Chen still practiced for more than ten years, and now he is familiar with it. After drinking the medicine, Xiao Chen started dancing in the room.
It is inevitable that there will be noises when exercising. Xiao Chen was in the basement of his own room before, so it would not affect other people, but it is different in the villa. The attention of the young lady watching TV outside.
Cheng Mengying was disturbed by Xiao Chen's voice, she pushed the door directly into Xiao Chen's room, saw Xiao Chen exercising, she couldn't help being slightly taken aback!
She originally wanted to scold Xiao Chen for calming down a little so as not to interfere with her watching TV, but seeing Xiao Chen exercising, Cheng Mengying couldn't help but feel sore! Now, Cheng Mengying finally understands why Xiao Chen has the strength to defeat Ma Gangmen!
It turned out that Xiao Chen was exercising in his free time! Cheng Mengying is very familiar with this set of movements, because Cheng Mengying has also practiced before, seeing Xiao Chen playing this set of movements very familiarly, Cheng Mengying understands how hard Xiao Chen has put in when there is no one around!
It's not his fault that he can't cultivate inner strength, he has been working hard and never gave up! Cheng Mengying thought, if she knew Xiao Chen was like this before, would she like him
Thinking of this, Cheng Mengying couldn't help shaking her head, there was no chance, it was already impossible for herself and Xiao Chen, and it was meaningless to think about these things.
"You... have you been exercising every day before?" Cheng Mengying couldn't help asking.
"No more..." Xiao Chen smiled, and said, "Just now I drank the medicine and sweated all over, so I exercised."
"Oh..." Cheng Mengying didn't believe Xiao Chen's words, but she didn't expose it. She probably guessed that Xiao Chen wanted to keep a low profile, or that Xiao Chen was more concerned about face. After practicing for so many years, he hadn't cultivated his inner strength yet. Come on, that's really embarrassing!
So the eldest lady didn't say anything, she closed the door and sat back on the sofa in the living room!
After a few days of getting along, Cheng Mengying's impression of Xiao Chen has been greatly changed. The Xiao Chen she sees next to her, and the Xiao Chen she heard about before, seem to be completely two people! It was really hard for Cheng Mengying to imagine that Young Master Xiao could walk to and from school just to save money? It's also hard to imagine that Young Master Xiao actually bargained with the convenience store owner for an hour for a few cents? It was even more unimaginable that Young Master Xiao actually went to the morning market to sell breakfast? !
Shaking her head, Cheng Mengying doesn't know which one to believe is the real Xiao Chen, but Cheng Mengying still understands the truth that seeing is believing, rumors are rumors after all, what she sees is true.
After exercising continuously for an hour, Xiao Chen could feel that the meridians all over his body were warm, and the effect of the medicine had spread to his whole body, giving Xiao Chen an indescribable warmth, he felt that his body seemed to be light Quite a few, and the meridians have become stronger!
What surprised Xiao Chen the most was that a thick layer of black grease-like sweat overflowed from his body, with a foul smell. Could this be the legendary marrow washing and bone cutting
In the past, Xiao Chen had only heard similar scenes in legends, but from his knowledge, it seemed that no one in the family had used this method to wash the marrow and cut the bones to temper the body. They didn't know, or the warriors didn't know. What about body quenching
Xiao Chen doesn't know about these, after all he is not a warrior, his knowledge of warriors is only a superficial set of entry-level body skills, he is not even a warrior with inner strength, and he doesn't understand the world of warriors at all!
"Tian Lao, is this the waste excreted from my body?" Xiao Chen couldn't help asking.
"Yes, indeed, now you can take a bath!" Tian Lao said: "This process, three days is a course of treatment, and a total of five courses of treatment have completed the first body quenching! What you should think now is that if you make money, you will The remaining four sets of medicinal materials have been bought."
Thinking of the money to buy medicinal materials, Xiao Chen felt a little depressed. Relying on the meager income from selling breakfast, it was extremely difficult to make up the regular price of 50,000 yuan for a pair of medicines, even the discounted price of 10,000 yuan.
But Xiao Chen really didn't want Cheng Zhongming to ask for it. Although he could come, Xiao Chen didn't want to reveal his purpose and strength prematurely! Besides, there should be quite a few people staring at Cheng Zhongming, at least the Cheng family is not monolithic, if Cheng Zhongming can make the decision, he will not be kicked out of the Xiao family! Therefore, we have to guard against it!
After taking a hot bath, Xiao Chen lay down on the bed and rested. He didn't complete the body tempering process, so Xiao Chen couldn't continue to practice. The third layer of the Qi refining period was still far away, which made Xiao Chen a little anxious.
The current situation has reached a certain level of urgency. If Xiao Chen does not have the strength to protect himself, it is very likely that he will die under the next wave of enemy attacks.
It was three o'clock in the morning in a daze, Xiao Chen got up from the bed, washed up briefly, left the room, went to the kitchen, filled the electric kettle with water, plugged it in, set it to keep warm after boiling, Then put the instant noodles into a bento box, and added seasonings, Xiao Chen remembered that the eldest lady didn't like to eat dried vegetable buns, so he put it aside.
After doing all this, Xiao Chen braved the darkness, left the villa, and quickly ran towards the morning market street.
At this moment, there is no bus yet, and Xiao Chen can't afford a taxi, so walking is all that's left! Fortunately, now that Xiao Chen has entered the second floor of the Qi refining period, both physical strength and endurance are better than before!
One must know that the warriors at the second level of inner strength are not just kidding, they have twice the explosive power of ordinary people. Xiao Chen at this moment is much stronger than Xiao Chen who came back from Songlong Mountain on foot.
When Xiao Chen reached the morning market street, it was already close to four o'clock in the morning, and the sky gradually brightened. On the morning market street, all kinds of small businesses and hawkers also started to set up stalls, some selling vegetables and fruits, some selling chicken, duck and fish eggs Yes, there are also those who sell odds and ends of small commodities, and there are also some liars who sell dog meat. For example, what can receive satellite receivers of hundreds of TV stations, and what magical detergents, mosquito repellants Devices to scare dogs and the like.
Soon, Xiao Chen saw the chubby figure of Tang Tang in the bed that sold breakfast, riding a tricycle alone, and moved the oil pan, gas tank, and noodle case from the car one by one, placed in an open space.
Xiao Chen hurried over to help, and snatched the gas tank from Tang Tang.
"Xiao Chen? So early?" Tang Tang was a little surprised when he saw Xiao Chen's appearance! You know, when she told Xiao Chen to come at four o'clock yesterday, she actually meant to get Xiao Chen to get up at four o'clock. I didn't expect Xiao Chen to arrive before four o'clock. Thinking about the villa area where Xiao Chen lived, it was only a few minutes away from here. It's not too close, so I'll get up at least three o'clock: "How did you get here?"
"Run!" Xiao Chen set up the gas tank, and helped Tang Tang set up the noodle case. He doesn't know how to do other things, but these physical tasks are still handy.
"Running?" Tang Tang was a little shocked. She already felt that Xiao Chen's adaptability was strong enough, but she didn't expect to be able to run early in the morning to sell breakfast? Back then, I didn't even have the perseverance, did I
"If you don't have a car, you can't call a taxi. You won't be able to make enough money to spend." Xiao Chen spread his hands as a matter of course, and said, "Don't look at me like that. I usually run home after school every night. I'm used to Yes, I can save a little bit."
"Master Xiao, I admire you a little now, you are a real man!" Tang Tang sighed.
"Pfft... a real man? It sounds like the name of a health product. If you weren't my buddy, what you said would be misleading!" Xiao Chen joked, in front of Tang Tang, Xiao Chen was very relaxed , without stress.
"Haha, yes, we are buddies!" Tang Tang nodded, pointed to the oil barrel on the car and said, "Pour the oil for me!"
"Okay." Xiao Chen picked up the oil barrel with one arm, and began to pour oil into the oil pan. The oil barrel was made of iron, and the soybean oil inside weighed a hundred catties. Xiao Chen carried it with one arm. It was effortless to get up, which surprised Tang Tang: "I didn't see it, your arms are quite strong!"
"I said it was practiced by masturbation, believe it or not." Xiao Chen laughed.
"Facing Cheng Mengying's photo?" Tang Tang is really a woman, and she can answer such questions.
"Ahem... how is it possible?" Xiao Chen coughed twice: "Then why not post your photo!"
"Your taste is really strong..." Tang Tang curled his lips in disbelief, but he was not angry.
