More than a week passed in a flash, and it was June 28th.
Jessica's apartment, on the fourth floor, in an empty room.
The pungent smell of the medicine continued to evaporate and mixed with the surrounding air. In the corner of the room was a pale yellow wooden barrel, which contained boiling hot water and a bag of medicinal materials.
As time goes by, the medicine bag continues to release black substances into the hot water, making the water darker and more turbid.
Creak, Kaxiu walked in naked.
Although the curtains in this room were closed and the light was dim, the bronze and strong body could still be seen.
After taking a slight breath of the pungent smell of the medicine, Kaxiu picked up the ointment on the cabinet next to him and smeared a layer of black on his entire face.
Then, he stepped into the wooden barrel and gradually sat cross-legged, with the entire body below his neck soaked in the potion.
Only a head covered with ointment was left to breathe the air.
His skin felt hot, and Kaxiu cleared his mind for a moment, then he performed the special movements created in the Elephant Soul Secret Art to match the medicinal bath. The cross-legged sitting method, the curvature of the waist, and the placement of the arms all had very demanding requirements.
And this action should be maintained for at least half an hour.
In addition, there is a corresponding breathing method.
“Huff… Chi… Huff… Chi… Huff… Chi… Huff… Chi…”
The three requirements of special movements, breathing techniques, and training potions were all met, and Kaxiu only needed to sit cross-legged in meditation for five minutes.
He could vaguely feel a layer of liquid-like substance on his skin seeping into his muscles, followed by a burning sensation and an increasingly strong tingling sensation.
It was like someone was holding a steel needle and gently pricking your skin in every corner of your body. It started with a tap and ended with a light poke. This level of pain was somewhat irritating to Kaxiu, but it was not painful. It was probably similar to a needle piercing the surface of the skin but not going deep inside.
This shows that he still has a long way to go in this aspect of the Elephant Soul Secret Art, and has not yet achieved the right level. When one is really about to finish the first level of the Elephant Soul Secret Art, the feeling should be that one has thousands of thorns all over the body.
Kaxiu speculated that the reason for such a feeling was that a large amount of medicine penetrated the skin and was absorbed by the muscles.
In other words, the greater the skin irritation, the more intense the pain. The higher the level of Xiangpo Secret Art, the better the training effect.
Thinking in this way, the Elephant Soul Secret Art is actually a standard form of hardship practice. Perseverance and willpower are the mainstream advantages in this regard. Talent and physique are important, but not exaggerated to the point of being the only ones. A trace of enlightenment rose in Kaxiu's heart.
Half an hour later, the liquid medicine in the barrel had cooled down, and the tingling sensation gradually disappeared. Kaxiu finished his secret technique practice and took a quick shower in the bathroom.
Then pour out the potion, clean the barrel, and put on clothes.
Next to the living room window, he pulled the curtains aside to let in the morning sun and gusts of fresh air.
Kaxiu glanced at the text logo in the upper right corner.
"Elephant Soul Secret Technique: Spikes 32.7% (three levels in total)"
"Wind Fist: Gale 14.8% (three levels in total)"
The progress is good, and the Elephant Soul Secret Art has already broken through 30%.
It's understandable that the Wind Fist is almost there. After all, the best way to practice boxing is in actual combat, and there aren't that many fighting masters in Baichuan City. If you want to make rapid progress, you have to go back to the past.
"Um?"
Kaxiu glanced down at the street below the apartment.
A black-painted silver car just stopped at a vacant spot on the roadside, and a woman with fringe-blonde hair got out. She was holding something in her hand and walked towards Jessica's apartment.
"This is Matthew's car... Any news?"
Kaxiu raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. That day, he just made two requests with a try-it attitude.
Now it seems that there has been a response
A dozen days ago, Kaxiu asked Matthew to do two favors at the wine table. One of them was the Crown Cross Coin. Although each of these obsession antiques provided very little obsession, only about 0.2, the Crown Cross Coin had traces to follow.
And Kaxiu has basically confirmed that any genuine item stained with the blood of the unfortunate emperor who was beheaded contains obsession energy. This is a reliable and traceable source.
As for the second favor that Kashu asked Matthew to do.
Two-word herb, to be more specific: orchid heart grass.
Since he was in an era seventy years after Levi's, Kaxiu certainly wanted to make full use of this advantage. If the plan went smoothly, the benefits would be huge.
Naturally, he set his sights on the precious orchid.
Seventy years ago, due to the climate, temperature and production environment, there were only two places in the entire Beiliu County that could produce orchid grass, and the supply was scarce and only available during the corresponding season.
This also makes the training potion of the Wind Gate very precious.
Ordinary disciples do not have the qualifications to take a bath at all, and even many core members and elders in the sect can only live frugally.
How can it be like Kaxiu
Soak once a day, one bucket at a time...
“Knock knock knock…”
A knock on the door interrupted Kaxiu's memories.
"Excuse me, is Mr. Levi here?"
“Here I come.”
Ten minutes later, on the soft sofa near the balcony, Ka Xiuzhen turned his back to the sun and flipped through the documents in his hand.
One bad news, one good news.
The bad news is that the Crown Cross coin has been too unpopular in recent years. There don't seem to be many in major antique shops and antique companies, so it's not easy to find. At least it will take a long time to find.
If a certain number are found, Ma Xiu will send someone to deliver them.
The other is good news.
According to Kaxiu's description, Matthew asked a friend who was in the medicinal materials business to obtain the data on the changes in the production areas of orchid grass in Beiliu County and the two nearby counties in the past seventy years.
Fortunately, Kaxiu found the third orchid grass production site in Beiliu County among the documents! It flourished sixty-five years ago, and there were already wild orchid grass groups there before artificial cultivation, but they had not been discovered.
This production area is hidden in a remote mountain forest and was discovered by chance. Since sixty years ago, the orchid grass in this area has occupied the main market due to its large quantity and good quality. Until today, cheap orchid grass is still produced and sold there.
"Huh... I wonder if the time travel back to the past can also bring back the entire world at that time. If so, then my operation is completely feasible." Kaxiu put the document in his hand on the coffee table. He knew that once he revealed the information about the origin of the Orchid Heart Grass, the entire Fengxiang Sect's top management would be shocked.
More orchid heart grass means more training potions, more training potions means faster progress in martial arts, and progress in martial arts means prosperity for the sect!
