When he was attacked before, Chen Xiao just relied on his young body and quick reaction. Otherwise, with his street skills that could only deal with a thief in his previous life, he would have died at the hands of that Jindan.

What he saw with his own eyes that day made Chen Xiao understand that in this world of cultivating immortals, one must not only have spiritual roots and cultivation, but also have good courage and good skills. Chen Xiao had already put the matter of learning body skills on the agenda with a sense of urgency. He originally planned to ask Du Rong for advice. However, after Du Rong got the new equipment, he practiced hard day and night, so Chen Xiao was embarrassed to interrupt his momentum. Now Xi Yunting took the initiative to propose it, which really solved his problem.

Xi Yunting proposed to teach Chen Xiao body skills, on the one hand to enhance the friendship between the two, and on the other hand he was genuinely doing it for Chen Xiao's sake.

In this world, those who have the qualifications to cultivate immortality have the conditions to start laying the foundation in childhood, learning body techniques and cultivating internal energy. Even in Changjia Village, where they live in seclusion, children have started to stretch their legs, stretch their muscles, do horse-drawn exercises, and stand in a stance since they were five or six years old.

Chen Xiao is now 18 years old, and has missed the best age for learning. Although his body looks young, his muscles and bones are no longer as soft and elastic as when he was young. Even if Chen Xiao asks someone to teach him in the future, they may not be as kind and patient as he is, and the body movements they teach him may not be as exquisite and practical as his.

Xi Yunting has always been serious about his work, especially because he believes that helping friends requires dedication, and he is responsible and strict. Every morning after he finishes his morning exercises, he starts to instruct Chen Xiao on the most basic exercises. When he was young, his master was still the head of Chongxuan Sect, and he didn't have time to teach him the basics himself, so it was his senior brother who taught him the basics. The brothers and their master all have the same work style, and they are meticulous in teaching people, and they never relax.

At first, Chen Xiao thought they would study in a relaxed atmosphere, just like in the military camp experience reality show on TV, even if it was hard, it would be a pleasant process. He didn't expect Xi Yunting to be so strict, even more ruthless than when his master Fang Gu taught him. He didn't even give them a chance to buffer, and went straight into hell mode.

The body of an 18-year-old boy is almost in shape. Even though the foundation laid by the silly boy before, Chen Xiao has almost lost it after more than a year of not practicing. Standing in the horse stance is fine, but when stretching the legs and tendons, the already contracted muscles and bones are opened, and the pain is so severe that Chen Xiao really feels like he is "dying". Although every movement and every practice is within his tolerance limit, it is still very painful.

However, the first two days were just appetizers. When Xi Yunting understood Chen Xiao's situation and knew that his physical condition was better than expected, he directly increased the amount of practice. He never thought about how strict it would be to require someone who had never received apprentice training before according to the internal standards of Chongxuan. He only knew that Chen Xiao could do it, so he guided and trained him in the fastest and best way.

At this time, Chen Xiao, who wanted to save face, could only hold back his tears even if he wanted to cry in pain, and he never begged for mercy. Although he felt that Xi Yunting's teaching method was too cruel and brutal, Chen Xiao never thought of giving up. Just like when he was studying very hard and strictly required himself to follow Fang Gu's rules, he did it silently. He knew that this was just like that time, maybe the only chance in his life to change his life.

However, no matter how strong his will was, his body did not cooperate and the pain was still there. After finishing a day's practice, he walked stiffly back to his room and it took him a long time to recover. He was so exhausted that he almost fell asleep. Chen Xiao forced himself to get up, went to the bathroom at the back, and soaked himself in the warm bathtub.

Chen Xiao moaned comfortably. Thanks to the immortals' means, after installing the advanced stove, Chen Xiao enjoyed the convenience and comfort provided by the equally advanced bathtub. Without this bathtub, which can automatically prepare bath water according to the set water temperature and water level as long as it is turned on before going out in the morning, and can be used for bathing directly after returning, Chen Xiao felt that he would definitely not be able to get up the next day.

After soaking for about a quarter of an hour, Chen Xiao resisted the temptation to sleep in the warm water and got up. Because he was too tired these days and barely had the strength to hold chopsticks, Chen Xiao asked the people from Changjia Village to help him get to his room. In order to train him better, Xi Yunting called him to the main courtyard every day. So everyone in Zhushanju knew that Xi Yunting was giving him special training. The people from Changjia Village were grateful to Chen Xiao, and since he had a good relationship with his uncle, they happily agreed.

After dinner, Chen Xiao lit the lamp and read for a while. When he was about to go to bed, Xi Yunting came.

Chen Xiao was surprised that he came at this time. Although the two of them were much closer than before, he knew that Xi Yunting was a person who paid special attention to private time and space. During the day, the two of them talked and rarely went to their respective bedrooms. They were usually outdoors or in the living room. At night, when they should rest, he would never come to disturb them unless there was something going on.

"Brother, it's so late, is there something wrong?" Chen Xiao welcomed Xi Yunting into the house and looked at him puzzledly.

Xi Yunting frowned slightly and observed his face carefully. Although his cheeks were rosy, his eyes were not very bright and he looked a little listless. A deep fatigue was hidden between his eyebrows. This made him feel annoyed and he blamed himself for discovering it too late.

Chen Xiao usually likes to go to the cafeteria to eat, and first see what dishes are available before deciding what to eat. It was also this evening that the person who brought him food accidentally mentioned that Chen Xiao had not been to the cafeteria these days. Xi Yunting realized that the intensity of the current training had left Chen Xiao with no energy to even go to the cafeteria. This shouldn't be the case.

He thought about it and understood why this was the case. The training volume he customized was strictly within the limit that Chen Xiao could bear. It could maximize his physical potential and promote the progress of cultivation. However, although Chen Xiao now had energy in his body, he could not use the exercises to assist in the recovery of his body like a practitioner. This should be because the energy in his body was brought by practicing Feng Shui, not by meditation. Without a matching exercise, it could not be applied. This led to him relying on sleep to restore his body to its best condition.

Although he would not be so tired every day if he reduced the amount of training appropriately, he would lose the effect of stimulating his potential and his progress would become slow. Xi Yunting was meticulous and would not make such a choice. There was another way to achieve the best training results and ensure Chen Xiao's mental state. Massage with medicated oil every day to promote muscle and tendon recovery.

If it were someone else, Xi Yunting would definitely ask someone to give him a massage every day to relax him. But now he knocked on Chen Xiao's door with the medicated oil. This is his friend, so there is no need to ask someone else to do it. He thought as a matter of course.

Xi Yunting couldn't express his inner thoughts. He pursed his lips and said with a slightly tense face: "I brought you some medicinal oil from Hanshan City. It can relieve muscle soreness. Just use it after practicing every day, and you will feel much more relaxed the next day." As he said that, he raised his hand and showed the other party the medicinal oil he brought back.

This was exactly what Chen Xiao needed. He extended his hand gratefully: "Thank you. It's all my fault. I'm sorry to bother you, big brother."

Xi Yunting gently raised his hand to avoid it. Facing Chen Xiao's puzzled look, his eyes flashed and he said, "I'll help you. The medicinal oil needs to be massaged and absorbed. You can't do it by yourself."

Eh? Chen Xiao's eyes widened immediately.

Xi Yunting's serious expression made him realize that the other party was serious and not joking. Chen Xiao had no choice but to accept his brother's kindness, took off his outer clothes, climbed onto the bed and lay flat.

Xi Yunting seemed to be doing something sacred. He washed his hands carefully before pouring the medicinal oil on his palms. He then rubbed his hands with both hands to evenly cover the entire palm.

It was late at night, and the room was extremely quiet, with only the sound of Xi Yunting's clothes rubbing against each other and the subtle sound of his palms rubbing against each other. Chen Xiao lay on the bed, with a soft pillow under his head, and couldn't help but feel nervous because of this mysterious and ambiguous atmosphere.

Xi Yunting's heartbeat quickened slightly, he sat down on the bed, bent down a little, stretched out his hands, and stopped just before touching Chen Xiao's back, which was covered with a thin layer of muscle and looked a little white in the dim light.

He moistened his throat to make his voice sound as calm as usual without revealing a trace of nervousness. He said in a low voice: "I'm going to start."

The lines on Chen Xiao's back suddenly became straighter than before. He buried his face in the pillow, trying to suppress the irritability that was rushing to his face. He said in a muffled voice, "Yeah."

Xi Yunting's hands then gently, as if touching something fragile, fell on Chen Xiao's back. The moment they touched, as Xi Yunting's hot palms fell on his skin, Chen Xiao trembled unconsciously, his muscles tensed to the point of cramping. Afterwards, he no longer cared about anything else and looked back at Xi Yunting in surprise.

Xi Yunting sat very close, his long black hair falling down on both sides, just a little bit away from brushing Chen Xiao's body. He lowered his head slightly, his eyes downcast. As soon as Chen Xiao turned around, he raised his eyes and looked over. Seeing Xi Yunting's face from such a close distance, even though they were both men, Chen Xiao couldn't help but be dazzled by this face that looked even more handsome in the dim light.

"What's wrong?" Xi Yunting's voice quickly brought Chen Xiao back to his senses. He shook off the inappropriate surprise in his mind for a moment and said in confusion, "No. It's just that this medicinal oil... why is it hot?"

He felt that Xi Yunting's palms were hot, and it was not an illusion. The hands pressing on his back were still emitting heat, like two warm baby heaters, the constant heat soothing the tense muscles and slowly relaxing them.

Xi Yunting said softly: "I originally have dual spiritual roots of gold and fire. I just used some fire essence to cover my hands, so that the medicine will be more effective."

Chen Xiao's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Xi Yunting in amazement.
