Chapter 8 First Experience
Author: Kindergarten leader
Inside the barrel, Mo Qingchu felt his own changes carefully.
It's quite strange to say that even though there is water vapor coming out all the time, the water temperature doesn't feel particularly high. It's warm and comfortable when you soak in it.
This made him lean back comfortably, with his entire back resting on the barrel.
"You really don't look nervous at all." Chen Yu looked at him and couldn't help but say.
"I have always wanted to practice cultivation, and now my dream is about to come true. Why should I be nervous?" Mo Qingchu said matter-of-factly.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt his body itching, and it was itching everywhere on his body.
This itching feeling is very uncomfortable. Have you ever tried the feeling of a brush gently scratching your skin?
At the back, it feels a bit like someone is approaching your skin and gently exhaling on your skin with his or her own breath.
These feelings made Mo Qingchu's expression slightly change.
"How is it? It's already starting to hurt." Chen Yu stood aside and found it very interesting: "This is just the beginning, it will hurt you later."
"I...I don't feel any pain...well...it's just a little itchy...well!" He made a muffled sound with a downward pitch.
When Chen Yu listened, he felt that this young man was trying to hold on for the sake of his face.
But later on, Mo Qingchu did feel a slight pain, but everything was within the acceptable range.
Only at this moment did Chen Yu react: "You really don't feel any pain?"
"Well, it's completely bearable." Mo Qingchu said directly.
"Why!" Chen Yu couldn't help shouting in his heart as he recalled that unbearable experience.
"Obviously, all the senior brothers and sisters in the sect are also in pain!"
"Every time everyone talks about medicinal baths, they all feel like they are competing to see who is in more pain!"
Her psychology suddenly became extremely unbalanced.
"Why is he so comfortable that he squints his eyes? That's too much!"
"No, no one cares about it?"
Chen Yu circled around the barrel and carefully looked at the young man and the medicinal liquid in the barrel, making Mo Qingchu feel a little embarrassed.
Although the liquid was as dark as ink, he still instinctively tightened his thighs and raised his hips slightly.
"It doesn't make sense." Chen Yu couldn't help but said.
During the medicinal bath, the pain will be unbearable in the early stage. This is common sense.
"Unless there is something inherently wrong with his sense of pain, or... he has the eccentricity as rumored." Chen Yu came to a conclusion in his mind.
She heard Senior Sister Feng say that there is a kind of person in the world who gets more excited the more they feel pain.
If a normal person is pinched by the neck, it will definitely be very uncomfortable.
But that kind of people will feel comfortable with their pupils dilated, their eyes rolled upward, and then they can't help but stick out their tongues.
Even if you are whipped, you will feel very comfortable.
According to Senior Sister Feng’s description: “Many of the [costs] of practice are related to pain. People who enjoy pain are simply born to practice!”
The round-faced girl looked at Mo Qingchu and showed an expression with all the features twisted together, a bit like a cute version of the classic emoticon: the old man on the subway looking at his mobile phone.
This made the young man in the barrel a little puzzled.
Time moved forward another quarter of an hour. At this moment, the pain was really intensified, but it was only intensified.
He could vaguely guess that his situation didn't seem to be consistent with common sense, otherwise Chen Yu wouldn't be so surprised.
"The medicinal powder she brewed for me must be inferior goods, right?"
"Does this thing have a shelf life?" Mo Qingchu said in his heart.
If something goes wrong here, is it yours or mine?
……..
……..
Half an hour flew by like this.
Chen Yu glanced at the black liquid in the barrel and nodded slightly.
"The color has become lighter. It seems that you have absorbed it well." The girl said.
"Is the degree of absorption of medicinal baths determined by color?" Mo Qingchu asked.
"Yes, the medicinal solution is as dark as ink at the beginning. Later, the color becomes lighter, which means it is better absorbed." Chen Yu explained.
After saying that, she waved her hand to signal Mo Qingchu not to think too much, and said: "It's been half an hour. The pain in the early stages of the medicinal bath has been over... well, it's over."
"Next, you must remember what I just told you."
"No matter what you see, hear, smell, touch... no matter how weird it is, you must remember - it's fake, it's all fake!" Chen Yu said.
"You will enter a very psychedelic state, but be sure not to be too scared!"
"Fear will greatly affect your absorption of this medicinal bath."
Ever since [Medicine King] Li Tianshu created the method of medicinal bathing and opened up the path of human body cultivation, every practitioner has to go through such a stage.
Even high-level practitioners cannot rely on secret methods to forcefully change this [Medicinal Bath·First Experience].
However, the entire process is not completely uninterruptible.
For example, Chen Yu is now using the simplest method.
"When you feel something is wrong, tell me. Whatever you see or hear...just tell me."
"I will confirm it for you on the side and tell you whether it is true or false."
"You just have to trust me."
"Believe me, if you can successfully complete three medicinal baths, I will be your senior sister in the outer sect of [Mo Sect], and I will not harm you." Chen Yu said.
It stands to reason that this kind of link is best handled by the person most trusted by the medicinal bather, such as Mo Qingchu's younger brother Mo Shuli.
But this young man is blind.
And according to the unwritten rules of the spiritual practice world, it is best not to have ordinary people watching the whole process.
Later, if Mo Qingchu can't tell what is true and what is false, he will act like a lunatic, and it will easily leave a psychological shadow on others.
"I'm so cute and I look harmless to humans and animals. He must trust me." Chen Yu was very confident in himself.
The young man in the barrel raised his head, glanced at the girl in front of him who was obviously still childish and seemed to have little experience, and nodded with difficulty.
With these conditions, what else can we choose?
As time passed by, Mo Qingchu began to feel that his temples were swollen.
This feeling is very familiar, very similar to the symptoms I had after staying up crazy late at night in my previous life on earth.
After traveling to the mortal world, his routine was quite good. On Earth, he was the typical "can't sleep" and "not enough sleep" kind of person.
Two seemingly contradictory things can exist at the same time in him.
After a while, he began to feel a headache and a tingling sensation.
This feeling of splitting headache continues to get stronger.
"I feel like my head is about to explode." Mo Qingchu said in his heart.
This reminded him of his past life when he was playing extreme sports on Earth. While performing [wingsuit flying], he had an accident and landed on his head.
As someone who has really had his head shot off, I think this level of "almost exploding" is quite acceptable.
Chen Yu squatted in front of the barrel, half of her face covered by the wall of the barrel.
"Did you see anything?" She said, holding on to the wall of the bucket with both hands and squatting down.
Most people have visual problems when taking medicinal baths and see a lot of messy things, which are extremely weird.
Only a small number of people have problems with hearing, smell, touch, etc.
"There's nothing special." Mo Qingchu said, "It's no different from before."
Yes, it's no different than before.
It was as if he could still vaguely see the pink lines on the back of Shen Yu's neck from the side, shining with an extremely dim pink light.
However, the "normal world" in his eyes is different from ordinary people.
He has long been accustomed to how to distinguish between "true" and "false", and has become accustomed to the unreliability of his eyes.
"What about the others?" Chen Yu asked with concern.
"It's just that... my forehead is a little itchy." Mo Qingchu said.
This position was exactly where his body was touched by the black mist when the evil spirit massacred the village.
"It's okay, your forehead is normal, trust me!" Shen Yu said forcefully.
But after a while, she, who had been half-crouching in front of the barrel, suddenly bounced back and landed directly on her buttocks, causing the buttocks in her pants to vibrate slightly.
Chen Yu showed endless panic, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.
Her startled look frightened Mo Qingchu.
"What, what's wrong?" His nerves became tense.
