Chapter 6 – Washing the Tendons and Cutting the Marrow

translator: Nana

This was what happened when spiritual energy was used to stimulate the medicinal properties of the herbs. If ordinary methods were used, the residues of the herbs wouldn’t disappear, and it would be impossible to obtain the transparent liquid in the bottom of the cauldron.

Ming Wuxiang carefully poured the liquid from the bottom of the cauldron into the jade bottle prepared in the morning. He watched the thick, light yellow liquid slowly flow into the white jade bottle. It was just enough to fill a bottle.

This bottle could be divided into three uses. Ming Wuxiang had checked his current situation, and considering the quality of the washing and cutting liquid, he needed to use it twice.

The reason why only one time was needed in the cultivation world was that the concentration of aura was high there. Secondly, the quality of the herbs in that world was better than those here. Even ordinary herbs would contain a trace of aura because of the environment.

The hot water was ready, and Ming Wuxiang poured a third of the liquid from the jade bottle into the tub. With the pouring of the washing the muscles and cutting the marrow liquid, the transparent and clear hot water turned yellow. Under the light, the water was shining with golden light.

The small private room was quickly occupied by a strong fragrance. Fortunately, the ventilation of the medicine bath center was really powerful, and the scent didn’t float outside, attracting the attention of outsiders.

Ming Wuxiang tested the water temperature with his hand. The water was too hot, which was just right for him. He took off his clothes and put them aside neatly. Then he took a white towel in case of an emergency. Ming Wuxiang’s expression condensed; he raised his foot and stepped into the bathtub.

When he entered the bathtub, Ming Wuxiang didn’t know whether to pay attention to the hot temperature of the water or the tingling feeling that could hardly be expressed in words after the washing muscle and cutting the marrow liquid entered the body through the pores.

To be a master, even if it hurt, he had to endure the pain!

Ming Wuxiang bit the spare towel into his mouth, and then he put everything under the neck into the hot water.

There was not much to say about the process of washing the tendons and cutting the marrow. Anyway, Ming Wuxiang wished to die right away. There was only one feeling left in his head—pain, pain all over the body as if thousands of ants were gnawing his bones and flesh.

Having experienced it once, Ming Wuxiang knew that this was the function of the liquid. It was really beyond the endurance of ordinary people.

One must stay awake during the whole process. If the person fainted in the process, the effect would be considerably reduced. Moreover, the effect of the liquid was the best when used for the first time.

In the cultivation world, Ming Wuxiang was unprepared, but there was no one around him, so he could cry out in pain. However, this time he was in the medicine bath center. Even if the sound insulation was good, Ming Wuxiang didn’t dare to shout loudly and attract the attention of the corridor staff.

The white towel in his mouth worked very well. Ming Wuxiang’s teeth were biting the towel tightly. Blue veins bounced out of his forehead, and his face was flushed. However, his eyes were very energetic; he could bear it with his twenty-eight years old body, now he was just eighteen years old.

In this competition of willpower, Ming Wuxiang was sure to win.

Because of the pain, Ming Wuxiang forgot the passage of time.  Perhaps it was a minute or maybe an hour later that the pain that felt like being bitten by thousands of ants started to weaken. Then a warm current began to swim in his body.

Ming Wuxiang had been waiting for the appearance of this warm current. The experienced Ming Wuxiang immediately guided the warm flow along the meridians and acupoints of the body. Finally, he gathered it at the pubic area of the lower abdomen, but Ming Wuxiang didn’t let it stay there. Instead, he made the current turn around in the pubic area, then he guided it out again, moved it around the body, and repeated.

Under the influence of the warm current, the formerly delicate Dantian became tough, and the body’s limbs became strong. Some impurities that were not good for the body were slowly pushed out from the pores.

The original bright yellow hot water began to become turbid, and the fresh smell was replaced by a faint sour smell.

After washing the tendons and cutting the marrow, Ming Wuxiang’s five senses became more sensitive. And of course, he could smell the unbearable sour smell in the air. However, he still kept his eyes closed and continued moving the warm current in his body.

In fact, the impurities and sour smell by this washing the tendons and cutting the marrow were considered light. Ming Wuxiang was only 18 years old, and his body was in his prime. His body was 28 years old when he first washed the tendons and cut the marrow. His body back then was not as good as his current body because of all kinds of pressures and social activities in his life.

When Ming Wuxiang once again guided the warm current into the pubic area, he didn’t lead it out. Instead, he made it swim slowly in the middle of the region.

Ming Wuxiang’s face turned gray and black because of impurities. At this time, the eyes that had been closed were finally opened. The look he showed would make people with weak will subconsciously indulge in his eyes. This was the spirit of the soul of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator that appeared after Ming Wuxiang stepped into the cultivation path again.

However, after Ming Wuxiang blinked, the look in his eyes disappeared and returned to the original one. At most, it would look like Ming Wuxiang’s eyes were quite energetic, rather than intoxicating like the previous ones.

Satisfied with the results of this muscle washing and marrow cutting, Ming Wuxiang raised his hand and wiped his face. Seeing the unexpected gray and black color in the palm of his hand, he comforted himself, “Cough, the color is much better than last time…”

After complaining about it, Ming Wuxiang didn’t delay at all. He turned on the ventilation system in the room to its maximum to remove the unpleasant smell. He discarded the water in the tub, returned it to a normal temperature, and let go. Then he took a bath towel and rushed into the bathroom on the side.

Half an hour later, Ming Wuxiang, who looked as if he had rolled several times in the dust, finally turned into a refreshing, white, and tender little handsome boy.

That’s right. After taking a shower, Ming Wuxiang looked in the dressing mirror and found that after washing the muscles and cutting the marrow, he had become a little handsome boy with a fair and healthy complexion.

It’s really not that Ming Wuxiang suddenly turned on the beautifying filter skill. When he heard the knock on the door and opened it, his friends were also shocked by his change.

Ming Wuxiang heard the knock on the door and went straight to open it without pausing. When opening the door, he heard Yi Xing’s familiar voice complaining about himself.

“Master Dao, did you fall into the tub or the toilet? If you don’t open the door now, I’ll call people to open it.”

It didn’t take a long time for Ming Wuxiang to wash the muscles and cut the marrow.  He soaked in the medicinal bath for less than an hour. It wasn’t suitable for too long. Even if Yi Xing and the others went to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and then let the staff prepare the bath for them, the time spent before and after was similar to that of Ming Wuxiang.

Twenty minutes ago, the three people didn’t see Ming Wuxiang come to them. It was a bit strange, so they came to look for him. When they separated, they knew the number of Ming Wuxiang’s private room, but no one answered the knock on the door.

At first, they thought there was something wrong with Ming Wuxiang, but the staff who came along checked and found that there was no one in the bathtub.

This made them feel relieved. At least the unresponsive Ming Wuxiang didn’t have an accident.

The management of the medicine bath center was very advanced in this aspect. Although there was no monitoring in the room, it was possible to tell if the customers had slipped into the water because they fell asleep accidentally.

This kind of accident was not unreported, so Yanhuang Country stipulated that all medicine bath centers should have such a monitoring system. When a customer had an accident, the system could immediately drain the water in the bathtub.

The staff looked at the system and found that the guest was in the bathroom at this time. Hearing that Ming Wuxiang was in the bathroom, the three people wondered why he went to take a bath. After thanking the staff, they decided to come back later.

Hearing Yi Xing’s words, Ming Wuxiang smiled, but before he could speak back, Yi Xing, who was standing at the door suddenly, exclaimed strangely.

“Lying through, Master Dao, did you go for photon whitening?”

The smile on Ming Wuxiang’s face turned into a twitch, and he didn’t even bother to roll his eyes, “You just went for photon whitening.”

“You didn’t go for photon whitening, then why are you so white all of a sudden?!” After Yi Xing finished speaking, he deliberately pulled up his sleeves and compared it with Ming Wuxiang’s arm. The skin color of the two was similar before. Yi Xing was a little darker, but it was not like the present situation, which was two shades away.

“The two of you will judge whether Master Dao has turned white.” Yi Xing’s left hand pulled him, and Ming Wuxiang had no choice but to follow his movements and stretch out his hand.

To be honest, as long as you were not blind, you could see that Ming Wuxiang’s skin had turned white and got better at the same time.

At the age of eighteen, adolescents always had traces of puberty on their faces.

Although Ming Wuxiang’s face was not so obvious, there was still a little bit. But now it didn’t have any traces, and even the pores had become delicate.

Fortunately, there were no girls present. If they were to see the white and tender Ming Wuxiang, it would absolutely cause all kinds of envy, jealousy, and hatred. In less than two hours, it was as if he had done a whole body whitening.

“All right.” Ming Wuxiang saw that Li Jiahua and Dong Zhiming were both amazed. He pulled back the hand held by Yi Xing.

“What time is it? I’m hungry, are you hungry?” It’s not that Ming Wuxiang didn’t want to answer, but it was really not suitable for telling the three of them.

“I’ve been hungry for a long time. I’ll get old waiting for you, Master Dao.” Yi Xing read Ming Wuxiang’s message and followed his words.

Yi Xing and the others were not people who liked to get to the bottom of the matter. Seeing that Ming Wuxiang didn’t explain, they didn’t ask questions. They knew that Ming Wuxiang’s change must be related to the medicinal herbs he bought last time. Ming Wuxiang didn’t explain. It was very likely that there were secrets that were not suitable for them to know.

It had to be said that brain supplement was sometimes a good thing. For example, the three people assumed that there were family secrets not suitable for outsiders to know. Dong Zhiming, the school tyrant, actually also made up the same content that the other two.

There were no follow-up questions, but Yi Xing thought that if Ming Wuxiang was interested in developing beauty products in the future, maybe they could cooperate.

Seeing Ming Wuxiang’s change, Yi Xing knew that the product developed would be absolutely effective. And everyone was a brother, cooperating with Ming Wuxiang, Yi Xing would never deceive him.

Luckily, Ming Wuxiang didn’t know Yi Xing’s idea, or else he wouldn’t know what to say about him. After staring at Dong Zhiming, he was also looking at him. Yi Xing’s vision was indeed not bad. However, even if he stepped into the beauty industry in the future, he wouldn’t use the formula of washing the muscles and cutting the marrow liquid.　

In his mind, there were many prescriptions for beauty pills and slimming pills, each of which could make people crazy.

Leaving the medicine bath center, the four found a clean looking fast food restaurant with many customers around. After taking a medicine bath, although everyone was energetic, they didn’t go out in the afternoon but chose to go back to school. Yi Xing and Li Jiahua agreed to Dong Zhiming’s proposal, and Ming Wuxiang had no opinion.

In his free time in the afternoon, Ming Wuxiang decided to take a look at the school carefully. After washing the tendons and cutting the marrow, he was more sensitive to the change of aura. Ming Wuxiang knew that before the college entrance examination, he couldn’t leave school to practice elsewhere.

If he could only cultivate in school, then he would find the place with the highest concentration of spiritual energy.
