Chapter 29, Qionghua Pavilion
It took about half an hour to finally complete the preparation of the drug.
Green, red, white... various medicinal materials were mixed and eventually turned into dark purple ointments.
If calculated according to the market conditions, the dark purple ointment of this half-stone mortar is worth much more than the same volume of gold. Even if you only take a box of palm-sized food and clothing from it, it will be enough for ordinary people to have a good time for several years.
And this is even just a cost.
Zheng Shuang naturally would not know the true value of this ointment, but he was not a fool. Of course he understood how precious it would be to allow a congenital master to go out for two days and search for medicine in the mountains and fields. The auxiliary medicine alone cost about ten taels of gold ointment.
If it weren't for the help of the master, he wouldn't be able to afford such a thing even if he lost everything.
This shows how poor literature and wealthy martial arts are.
After the ointment was configured, Pan Long began to guide Zheng Shuang to practice.
This old apprentice is really old, and his muscles and bones are very stiff, and his joints and muscles need to be stretched and stretched.
Moreover, his qi and blood have actually begun to gradually become exhausted. If he does not supplement from the outside world, he will not be able to withstand the "external training of muscles, bones, and skin, and breathing inside".
Not only that, his body was also extremely weak, his internal organs were lacking in warmth, and there were many hidden injuries on his body - from elementary school to winter, and in summer, he practiced the knife skills that even Pan Long had to praise, which made Pan Long love his talents, but it also left him a lot of harm.
If these damages are not repaired one by one, his body is like a bucket full of holes, and he doesn't even think about how much water is.
All of these are essential basic skills.
Pan Long is not planning to live in Guangling City for a long time, so he hopes to help Zheng Shuang lay a solid foundation faster.
The way of martial arts is to pay attention to "the master leads the door, and the practice depends on the individual". As long as the master lays a solid foundation and points out the direction, the next thing depends on the apprentice's own efforts.
The same is true for Pan Long's idea. He planned to spend ten days and half a month to lay a foundation for Zheng Shuang, and then leave enough money and a martial arts secret book to see Zheng Shuang's practice in a few years.
If this old disciple can succeed in his cultivation, he would be very happy.
Otherwise... there is nothing we can do about it.
It is very difficult to help a middle-aged man practice martial arts. Even if he fails or the results are not satisfactory, he can accept it.
Of course, if anyone has the idea of fighting Zheng Shuang because he left this wealth and secret book, or even killing money, he wouldn't mind taking the knife and chopping off the dog's heads one by one and throwing it into Tongtian River to feed the fish!
Although the world is big, there are not many masters like that if you want to protect yourself under him and not be sent to feed fish.
In order to achieve results as soon as possible, Pan Long used a slightly rough method. He asked Zheng Shuang to soften his muscles and bones with a medicinal bath, then applied ointment that could repair the body, and began to vigorously temper.
Painting, massage, stretching, stretching bones... During the whole process, Zheng Shuang felt so painful that he opened his eyes widened more than once, with more whites than eyeballs, and even almost lost consciousness.
But Zheng Shuang is indeed a persevering person. Despite this pain, he always gritted his teeth and almost never let out a cry of pain.
Two days later, the first ointment was used up and he completely changed his appearance.
Before, although he was tall and generous, he looked like a strong bald man, but in the eyes of a real martial arts master, he was actually fragile and fragile, not only with flaws, but also very thick and sparse, just like a pile of rust that would spill everywhere when the wind blew.
But now, although he looks a little thinner, just looking at his body, he is already clearly a strong man with a certain foundation in martial arts practice. His muscles are strong and well-proportioned, with strong bones and stretched meridians, which are suitable for practicing most martial arts.
Especially his skin changes are the most obvious.
His skin looked a little haggard in the past. Although he didn't seem so dry because he ate a lot of oil and water, his skin was not smooth and energetic, and he could even see some fat under the skin and patches that people would inevitably have in middle age.
But in just two days, his skin had a healthy luster, and he felt tight and full of vitality at first glance. Even if he didn't look at his appearance and only looked at his flesh, he didn't look like a middle-aged man at all, but seemed to be a healthy teenager.
Of course, all of this is not all due to the ointment. More importantly, it is the result of Pan Long using his true energy to wash his hair and marrow, remove harmful substances accumulated in his body, and regain his vitality.
Moreover, during this process, Pan Long also asked him to take some truly precious medicines.
Those things that ordinary people cannot buy even if they have money. Even if they only have one, they are enough to cause an uproar and even cause a bloody storm in the green forest.
These medicines were brought from the Dragon Slaying Treasure. In addition to the treasure specially left by Wen Chao to allow later time travelers to fight against Zhao Sheng, who was on the evil path, even the Tianshou Gang of the Green Forest Sect of Yizhou could not bring out so many spiritual medicines.
That is Wen Chao who has mastered half of the mountain and sea classics, and has accumulated over a thousand years!
"Your first step is almost completed here." After practicing again, Pan Long nodded with satisfaction when he looked at Zheng Shuang's appearance.
It is still mid-winter now, and the weather has been quite cold these days, and there is ice everywhere in Guangling City.
But in this cold winter, Zheng Shuang was only wearing a pair of shorts, her body was naked, and there was no sign of coldness. White steam emerged from his slightly red body and gathered into a short column of qi above his head. At a glance, you could tell that the qi and blood were strong and that he was not an ordinary person.
Of course, Zheng Shuang could understand his changes, and his words were no longer enough to describe his gratitude to his master. He had only one thought, which was to practice martial arts well so that if the master needed it in the future, he could live and die for his master at any time!
But Pan Long really didn't plan to let him live and die for himself.
To be honest, if Pan Long really encounters trouble, even if this old apprentice sacrifices his life, he will not be able to help.
It's like... If Teacher Bi Lingkong really encounters trouble, there are actually not many opportunities for Pan Long to be able to help.
"Next, I'm going to find some rare things to see if it can help you grow your cultivation quickly." He said to Zheng Shuang, "You can continue practicing according to the secrets I left behind. Remember not to be too hasty when practicing, and do not be impatient and aggressive. Your foundation has been laid. Even if you don't have those magic medicines to increase your cultivation, it will not be difficult to enter the innate before the age of sixty, or even extend your life. But if you damage the foundation again because of impatience and recklessness, even if I can help you cure it, it will be extremely difficult to enter the innate in the future."
Zheng Shuang nodded repeatedly, and of course he would complete the teacher's instructions meticulously without any discount.
Not to mention that he just needs to practice step by step, even if Pan Long said that the moon is square, he would only nod, "The master is right, it must be something wrong with my eyes."
At this point, Pan Long had at least a reliable death warrior.
...Of course, if anyone says this to Pan Long, he may be very unhappy and even beat someone up.
After saying goodbye to Zheng Shuang's family, Pan Long left Guangling City as Baihuxing, and then appeared in Guangling City as Pan Long.
This time he entered the city, he walked directly towards the "Yingtian Villa".
Yitian Villa is the headquarter of a well-known gang "Qionghua Pavilion" in Guangling City. This Qionghua Pavilion is the green forest force secretly supported by the Wu family, which is specially designed to deal with some inconvenient things for the Wu family.
For example, what makes competitors evaporate?
The contemporary leader of Qionghua Pavilion is either someone else, or the direct daughter of the Wu family generation, Wu Jixing.
Of course, if you claim to the public, the leader of Qionghua Pavilion is Wu Jixing's junior sister and personal maid, Wu Cuigu.
This Cui Gu is also known as "Wu Qionghua" and is one of the most famous beauties in Guangling City. There are even rumors that if you can marry this beauty, even if you want to marry into the Wu family, it will be worth it to change your surname from then on.
This time when Pan Long went to Yitian Villa, he naturally visited Qionghua Pavilion.
In addition to guiding Zheng Shuang to practice martial arts as the White Tiger Star these days, he often takes advantage of the White Tiger Star’s cultivation or rest time to walk inside and outside Guangling City as Pan Long.
Maybe it was intentional. In just a few days, he actually met everyone in Qionghua Pavilion again.
That time, during lunch, the two sides chatted for a few words and were quite in agreement. So Wu Jixing, the real leader of Qionghua Pavilion, invited him to sit in the Yitian Villa when he had time, have a cup of tea, and try several special snacks made by the Wu family.
Of course, Pan Long would not refuse, so today, he went there.
When he arrived at the Yitian Villa, before he could report to his house, the strong men who were guarding the door had already come up with a smile on their faces, and called him "Ship Pan" and welcomed him into the door.
After he arrived at the guest room and sat down, less than ten breaths, Wu Jixing hurried in with a few reliable subordinates.
"No wonder I felt happy today, but there was a distinguished guest coming!" Wu Jixing said with a smile, "It was just right. Cui Gu happened to try some snacks in the kitchen. You must try it!"
"Then I'm not polite."
"The least thing that our children in the world need between friends is to be polite. Life is short, so how can we have so much time to be polite? If we give in, we will grow old before we finish things." Wu Jixing said very proudly, not like a woman in a boudoir at all.
From knowing her to now, Pan Long feels that only her gender can be considered a woman. In other aspects... her aesthetic view is also relatively feminine, and the rest are really not visible at all.
The leader of the Qionghua Pavilion loves reading and martial arts. He likes to ride a horse, fight with people, and walks alleys to find a satisfying delicacy. He also likes to write a few poems whenever he feels comfortable.
He looks like a young man from the world.
However, compared with the ordinary heroes of the Jianghu, Wu Jixing has a unique hobby.
She likes to lock herself in a secret room and read Buddhist scriptures.
This hobby is very strange, and many people think that the leader of the Qionghua Pavilion is a person with Buddha nature.
But Pan Long knew that she did not have Buddha nature in her heart at all, but on the contrary, her heart was filled with violent murderous intent, and she needed to suppress it in this way.
Wu Jixing is an extremely proud and stubborn person. She doesn't mind killing people, but she is determined not to obey her natural murderous intent. So every once in a while, she locks herself in a secret room with thick iron chains, reads Buddhist scriptures and practices Buddhism to suppress her murderous intent.
In her own words, "My own will is the most important thing. Even nature can only be released when I allow it!"
Pan Long had never seen her get into blood with others, but he had seen her look when she locked herself in a secret room.
At that time, her body exuded a chilling murderous intent, and even her face became ferocious, like a crazy beast, roaring constantly.
That time, Pan Long hid in the corner of the secret room, watched her roar for more than half an hour before he regained some reason and began to recite Buddhist scriptures.
As she recited the scriptures, her expression gradually calmed down. Although she still showed pain from time to time, it became more and more peaceful. In the end, all the madness and evil disappeared without a trace, leaving only a piece of peace and joy.
At first glance, it looks like a monk who has been practicing for many years, without any evil spirit.
The changes before and after Pan Long was also shocked.
If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe that a person could have such a huge change in just one hour.
...This is like a split personality!
That witness also made him full of curiosity and concern for Wu Jixing.
I was curious, of course, I was curious why she was so stubborn?
The so-called "blocking" is worse than being a person's vicious nature. If he is naturally vicious, the best way is not to practice Buddhism and forcibly suppress this nature, but to practice martial arts that can turn murderous aura into combat power, transform the vicious nature into powerful force, and vent it through repeated battles, while making himself stronger.
This is a truth that people with a little knowledge in the martial arts world can understand, and it is impossible for Wu Jixing to not understand it.
But she would rather use a completely different method to force her own nature by using twice the effort.
Why is this? Pan Long really wants to know her motivation.
This practice poses huge hidden dangers. If you are not careful, you may go astray and turn into a crazy beast. Even if you can successfully suppress the evil spirit, over time, it may lead to the evil spirit being nurtured into another personality and artificially creating "intellectual demons".
People usually avoid the inner demon, so how can they get on their own?
Therefore, Pan Long was also very worried about Wu Jixing's future.
Although the world is big, there are not many such wonderful and interesting people. He really doesn't want Wu Jixing to go on the road of no return, and eventually either die in a crazy way, or be bound by his vicious nature for the rest of his life and never get real freedom.
