Hands make fragrance

Chapter 9
But Xiaoxue didn't take her brother's heart away, she pretended to be happy, and said happily: "Really? That's great! Brother, then go and make medicine!"

Lin Dong nodded, grabbed the medicine bag next to him and walked into the kitchen.

Xiaoxue waited for Lin Dong to leave, sobbing silently under the quilt.

Two hours passed, and Lin Dong kept adjusting the flame size of the gas stove according to Elder Xuan's instructions to master the so-called heat.

Finally, the strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine permeated the air, and Lin Dong showed joy on his face. He didn't care to wipe off the sweat on his forehead, and carefully took the medicine pot off the stove, as if some rare treasure was in his hands. average.

After pouring the concoction into the bowl, Lin Dong's face was full of joy. If it worked, then today would be the happiest day he has had in the past ten years.

Helping Xiaoxue up, Lin Dong saw her red and swollen eyes at a glance, and knew that she must be secretly crying again.

Lin Dong had a sore nose, and said in a gruff voice, "Come on, Xiaoxue, drink it quickly, if it works, brother will feel at ease!"

Xiaoxue nodded sensibly, took the bowl, endured the bitterness and poured down the whole bowl of medicine "Gudong Gudong".

It was miraculous to say that when the medicinal liquid entered her abdomen, it turned into heat and dissipated towards the meridians of the whole body, nourishing her weakening body.

Lin Dong waited expectantly for Xiaoxue to tell him whether the prescription was effective, but suddenly, Xiaoxue's body began to radiate heat like a heat source, Lin Dong was startled by the heat, and let go of his hand.

Xiaoxue threw herself on the bed without saying a word, without any movement.

"Xiaoxue! What's the matter with you?" Lin Dong was horrified, and roared angrily, and rushed towards Xiaoxue.

"Stop! If you think something is wrong with your sister, go and touch her!" Elder Xuan's thunderous roar sounded in Lin Dong's mind, and he immediately felt dizzy and stopped in place.

"What's wrong with Xiaoxue?" Xiaoxue became like this after drinking the medicine, how could Lin Dong be polite, and asked Elder Xuan angrily.

Elder Xuan was not angry either, instead he chuckled and said, "It's not bad, it's not too bad to care about your family so much. Don't worry, your sister is just weak for too long and can't make up for it. Let her rest for a night will wake up and will not suffer from this disease for at least three months."

Lin Dong was dubious, but Xiaoxue's steady breathing proved that there should be no problem, so he was a little relieved.

"Okay boy, it's useless for you to worry about things here, and you can cultivate your strength early, so that you can combine talisman and medicine to cure your sister's evil disease."

"Old Xuan, what kind of strength do I need to cure Xiaoxue?" Lin Dong's eyes immediately became firm, and his desire for strength was unprecedentedly strong.

"It's not high, just practice Qi!" Seeing that Lin Dong finally paid attention to cultivation, Elder Xuan said with great joy.

"How long does it take to practice Qi?"

"With my help, it can take three years at the fastest, or five years at the slowest."

However, Lin Dong was very dissatisfied with the time given by Elder Xuan, and asked anxiously, "It will take three to five years? Can't it be faster?"

"Nonsense!" Elder Xuan was sullen, and reprimanded viciously: "Cultivators pay attention to laying a solid foundation, and it takes three to five years to achieve Qi training. This is already a good thing that many people dream of, and you are not satisfied?"

"But what about my sister? Can she wait another three to five years?" What he was anxious about was his sister's condition. He had consulted with a doctor at the beginning of the year. According to Xiaoxue's deteriorating condition, he might not be able to last for another year.

"You don't need to pay attention to those quack doctors. With the prescription I gave you, her condition won't get worse, and it will get better. It's enough to wait until the day you succeed in Qi training." After finishing speaking, Elder Xuan was silent for a while. Yes, and suddenly said: "If you want to hurry up, there is no way. Find my remaining heaven and earth twin souls, which will greatly increase your speed of Qi training, and entering Qi training is just around the corner."

And this good thing?
Lin Dong's face showed joy, and he hurriedly asked, "Old Xuan, where is your soul of heaven and earth?"

"do not know!"

Lin Dong was stunned by this answer, don't you know?Feelings are playing me!
"My three souls and seven souls are scattered all over the place, and I can only feel them when I get close. How do you let me know where I am?" Elder Xuan's tone was a little low, and Lin Dong could clearly feel his sadness, so he quickly comforted him: "Old Xuan , don’t worry, I promise, as long as Xiaoxue recovers from her illness, I will travel all over Qianshan to help you search for your soul and help you rebuild your physical body.”

"It's enough if you have the heart, kid!" Elder Xuan has practiced for many years, and his heart is as firm as iron. This kind of sadness was quickly thrown away by him, but he was very satisfied with Lin Dong's attitude, and smiled: "Okay, chatting is enough. Now, hurry up and follow my method to boil the medicinal liquid, and practicing Qi earlier is the right way."

Lin Dong was also looking forward to the first practice. He picked up the medicinal materials and went straight to the kitchen. As usual, he was in charge of controlling the heat, and Elder Xuan was in charge of guiding.

Another few hours passed, and a bowl of medicinal soup exuding a strong sour smell was freshly baked.

"What kind of qi training liquid is this? Why is it so stinky?" The legendary elixir had a strange sour smell, and it was not as fragrant as Lin Dong thought. He squeezed his nose and said as soon as he smelled it. .

"This is body cleansing medicine soup. Although the smell is unpleasant, it is a good product for Qi training, and it is better than mild. It is perfect for you!"

Pour the liquid medicine into the large wooden barrel filled with water, and a strange scene appeared in front of Lin Dong. The clear water, whose temperature had already dropped, boiled again.

Moreover, the clear water also turned into a thick green liquid. Bubbles exploded on the water surface, and an unpleasant smell filled the room.

Looking at the thick liquid like boiling pitch, the sultry heat radiated from it, burning the skin with pain.

Lin Dong licked his dry lips, swallowed hard, and said hesitantly, "Old Xuan, are you really going to jump into it? I'm afraid the temperature will cook me!"

"Stop talking nonsense, you can become a master only by suffering through hardships. This cultivation of immortality is against the sky. Qi training is the first hurdle. Many people died at this step!" Lin Dong was shocked by the words of the old man. He was almost scared, he laughed and said: "But you have me watching over you, so you don't need to worry, but the pain of flesh and blood is inevitable, it depends on whether you dare or not!"

There was a struggle on Lin Dong's face, and countless images flashed in his mind. He clearly realized the importance of power to him, gritted his teeth hard, and jumped into the liquid medicine.

"what……!"

A horrific cry resounded through the sky, and the boiling water continuously burned Lin Dong's skin, making him scream crazily.

At the same time, a coolness spread from his mind to his whole body, and the old man's anxious voice sounded in his head: "I don't have much spiritual energy, you must quickly familiarize yourself with the operation route of the qi training method, otherwise, your life will be over!"

The old-fashioned drink made Lin Dong's consciousness temporarily clear, and he could feel the coolness running in his body.

"Turn the whole body with the spiritual energy, absorb the spiritual energy in the meridians, hold the essence and keep one, concentrate, and restrain the power of the medicine in the three channels of Yangqiao, Yinwei and Yangwei. Quick!"

Lin Dong didn't dare to think too much, and urged him with all his strength according to the old-fashioned method. This coolness can effectively relieve the severe pain in his body, and he cannot be neglected.

After one hour, two hours, three hours, finally Lin Dong, who was trembling with pain, calmed down and sat motionless in the liquid medicine.The originally yellow-brown liquid in the bucket also began to gradually become clear, and finally turned into a bucket of clear water.

"what……!"

Another shout came from Lin Dong's mouth, and a breath of foul air was spit out from his mouth, shooting three meters away, and then slowly dissipated without a trace.

Lin Dong opened his eyes suddenly, jumped out of the barrel, and the bones on his body kept making "crackling" sounds.Lin Dong looked at the tightly clenched hands with joy, and he could clearly feel the huge strength that he had never felt before in the thin and thin arms!
His heart was very comfortable, he looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, the laughter continued for a long time.

"Do you know that cultivation is joyful? Cultivation is an act against the heavens, and the process is extremely dangerous. But if you don't go deep into it, how can the world know the joy of cultivation? This ultimate enjoyment of advancement is the greatest thing for cultivators besides longevity Temptation." Elder Xuan laughed in Lin Dong's mind, happy that he had formally started practicing Qi.

Lin Dong took it for granted, the refreshing feeling just like soaking in a hot spring made him feel like he was trapped in a cloud, it was really wonderful.

"Old Xuan, what level should I be at now?" Lin Dong threw a punch with all his strength, feeling the surging power in his body, at least twice as much as before, he asked complacently.

"Level? Can your cultivation level be called a level? It's just an introduction to Qi training, to take care of your frail body. As far as your current body is concerned, I'm afraid it's just better than normal people. It's not the time to be proud." Feeling that Lin Dong was getting carried away because of his increased strength, Elder Xuan sounded the alarm for him at the right time.

Sure enough, Lin Dong's face turned bitter when he heard what he said, and he said in disbelief, "Old Xuan, was my health so bad before?"

"Using the aura contained in my remnant soul to cast spells will be so weak, what do you think?" Elder Xuan said disdainfully, but he still needs to give a sweet date for a stick, otherwise it would be terrible if this cheap apprentice was really hit. It's not beautiful.

Xuanlao's tone slowed down and added: "However, don't belittle yourself. After getting started with Qi training, as long as you keep exercising and add medicinal baths to cleanse your body, you will soon enter the first level of physical training. At that time, your body is as tough as leather. If you move, you will be accompanied by a hundred catties of force, and ordinary mortal warriors can't do much harm to you."

As soon as Lin Dong heard what he said, he immediately became interested, and asked, "Old Xuan, do warriors really exist?"

"Of course, there are three thousand paths, and martial arts is also one of them, but it is too difficult to enter the martial arts, so it is getting weaker and weaker." Xuanlao sighed when talking about the martial artist, as if he was very regretful.

"Will the martial artist be better or the cultivator better?" Lin Dong, as a beginner in comprehension, is very concerned about the difference between himself and the martial artist.

"There is no difference between strength and weakness, only depth. Of course, there is another important factor, that is aptitude, that is, the tenacity of the meridians, which determines whether they can accept the infusion of spiritual energy. Warriors are generally Because of poor aptitude, you can't cultivate immortals, so you changed to martial arts. Those who can enter the Tao can defy the sky, but those who can't enter the Tao can't be compared with the cultivators."

Lin Dong now understood that it turns out that cultivators are more aptitude than warriors, so they have the opportunity to cultivate.His face couldn't help but beam with joy. Doesn't that mean that he has good aptitude indirectly?
He couldn't help laughing out loud. Over the years, he didn't have the slightest sense of superiority. At least his aptitude gave him some confidence.

"Old Xuan, so my aptitude is very good?"
