There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 16 Raising the Root Bone
  half a month later.

Haicheng has been experiencing scorching heat. In the past half month, Wang Ping was tortured by Taoist Yuanzheng once in the morning and once in the evening, and the pain was different each time.

In the first three days, Wang Ping even thought about giving up on improving his root bones, especially when the pain was extreme, just like he wanted to jump off a building when he had a toothache in his previous life.

Later, I gradually got used to it, and I could continue to meditate even in extreme pain. In the end, I could even calm down. It looked like a person who had been tortured for a long time and became numb to the pain.

It's another morning. Wang Ping, who was exhausted from the pain yesterday, is back to his original state after practicing Qi all night.

"Clang"

The door to the room was pushed open by Taoist Yuan Zheng just like yesterday. What was different from yesterday was that he was followed by two servants carrying a bath bucket.

"Master!"

Wang Ping stood up and saluted. Yu Lian climbed around Wang Ping's arm and spat out the snake letter to Taoist Yuan Zheng, as if he was giving a warning.

Taoist Yuan Zheng stretched out his hand to play with Yu Lian and said: "Today, I will officially improve your muscles and bones. The first step is to use my herbs to change the medicinal properties of your body."

"Oh, you are quite fierce!"

Taoist Yuan Zheng was amused by Yu Lian's fierce and naive look.

The servant next to him took advantage of Yuan Zheng's good mood and came up to report: "Sir, the things have been put away!"

"Okay, you guys go out and seal this courtyard. No one can come in without my consent!"

"Yes!"

The servant agreed and left quickly.

Taoist Yuan Zheng took off the small gourd from his waist, walked over and poured it into the bath bucket. Suddenly, the sound of running water was heard, and a thick smell of medicine spread outwards. Taoist Yuan Zheng pinched out a spell with his other hand. , several auras of light shone around the bathtub, locking the diffuse smell of medicine around the bucket.

After a few breaths, the bath bucket was two-thirds full of the potion in the small gourd.

Taoist Yuan Zheng checked the depth of the potion, put away the gourd, and told Wang Ping: "Take off your clothes and go in. After entering, use your usual qi training method to absorb the power of the potion. Don't worry that the spiritual energy in the Dantian will be contaminated. I will be there." Guided by others.”

"Yes!"

Wang Ping didn't show any pretense. He took off his clothes and sat down in the tub. Yu Lian wanted to follow him in, but Taoist Yuan Zheng grabbed her by the tail and said, "You can't go in!"

"You stay outside..." Wang Ping ordered softly.

"Oh!" Yu Lian glanced at Wang Ping eagerly, then turned to look at Yuan Zheng, her eyes seemed to say let go.

"Don't make trouble..."

Taoist Yuan Zheng, who knew the nature of the spirit snake, placed Yulian on Wang Ping's clothes, then waved his hand gently, and a green light penetrated into Yulian's head. The next moment, Yulian fell asleep quietly.

"Meditation, practice Qi..."

Taoist Yuan Zheng's tone lost its usual joking tone.

Wang Ping did as he was told, concentrating on practicing Qi as he usually did when meditating, but this time what he absorbed was no longer spiritual energy, but the medicinal properties around his body.

When the real substance entered the body, Wang Ping felt a very familiar stinging pain. When he saw that the medicinal power was about to spread to his Dantian, Taoist Yuan Zheng injected a ray of spiritual energy and guided the medicinal power to Wang Ping's body, limbs and bones.

The pain worsened instantly, but Wang Ping had already gotten used to it and persevered easily...

three days later.

With the continuous guidance of medicinal properties, the potion in the bath bucket was completely refined by Wang Ping's body, causing his skin to turn light blue, as if he was poisoned.

When the last drop of the potion was refined by Wang Ping, Taoist Yuan Zheng pinched the spell with his hands and drank: "Don't move!" Then, a golden stream of light entered Wang Ping's eyebrows as Taoist Yuan Zheng shouted, and then, Yuan Zheng The righteous man took out a magic weapon like a medicine cauldron at an extremely fast speed and placed it on top of Wang Ping's body.

Sitting quietly, Wang Ping felt that the pain suddenly doubled. It was more painful than any previous exercise. When he could not bear it anymore, his whole body was enveloped by an invisible pressure, making it impossible for him to move even half a minute.

"Don't faint!"

Just when Wang Ping couldn't hold on any longer, Taoist Yuan Zheng reminded him, forcing him to grit his teeth and continue to persevere.

After an hour passed, Yuan Zheng opened the lid of the medicinal cauldron that suppressed Wang Ping, and a visible suction force formed, like pulling a rag, sucking away all the remaining medicinal properties in Wang Ping's body.

At this time, the pain in Wang Ping's whole body had reached its extreme. He wanted to open his mouth and shout, but before he could shout, all the pain suddenly disappeared. Then, his whole body went limp and he fainted completely.

...

Not sure how much time had passed, Wang Ping felt itchy on his face. The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and saw Yu Lian rubbing her head against his cheek.

"I am starving…"

Yu Lian had no idea what was happening.

Wang Ping stood up and sat down. Yu Lian wrapped her arms around Wang Ping's left arm and slid it to her palm, waiting for the food to be fed. Looking at Yu Lian, Wang Ping subconsciously rummaged through the package next to him, took out the dried meat and handed it to Yu. lotus.

When Yu Lian swallowed the dried meat in one gulp, Wang Ping realized that he was wearing a gray-white shirt and shorts, but he didn't make too much of a fuss. The sky outside was dark. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and recalled the Guiyuan Jue in his mind. In the marrow cleansing chapter, the light curtain panel immediately appeared:
  [Guiyuan Jue (Marrow Cleansing Chapter): Use the spiritual energy transformed by Qi training to wash the body from the inside out, increasing the fit between the body and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. There is no trick to this step. Your roots are the best, so stick to it every day. Ten times of marrow cleansing can be completed in eight years. (Progress 1/100, today’s progress 0/10)]

The original middle and upper bones became the best ones, and the fifteen years of marrow cleaning time also became eight years.

Wang Ping looked happy, and when he was about to stand up, he found that his whole body was sore and weak, so he had to keep meditating and use Qi exercises to regain his energy.

"I'm still hungry..." Yu Lian's voice interrupted his Qi training.

"You can get your own food."

"Oh…"

Wang Ping ignored Yu Lian who got into the package. He concentrated on practicing Qi.

The potion that was sucked into the body in the memory has completely disappeared, and when the spiritual energy circulates, the speed seems to have accelerated a lot.

After half an hour.

Wang Ping regained his energy and began the formal marrow cleansing...

This time, there was no pain as before. The spiritual energy circulated unimpeded in his body, making it easy to complete a marrow cleansing.

After completing ten times of marrow cleansing, Wang Ping clearly felt that his body was very weak, and then he meditated and practiced Qi until dawn.

Today, Taoist Yuan Zheng did not push in the door again, but Wang Ping put on his Taoist robe and pushed out the door. When he arrived at the courtyard where Taoist Yuan Zheng lived, he saw no one.

So he walked to the front shop.

"Taoist Master Changqing!" The shopkeeper greeted him warmly.

"Where is Taoist Priest Yuan Zheng?"

"Your Excellency has returned to the headquarters and is preparing to retreat into alchemy."

"Did he leave any words?"

"no!"
