Time flies, and it was evening in the blink of an eye.
Qing Xuanzi told the children to stop: "You all start stretching now, I'm going to cook."
The three children, dragging their tired bodies, slowly did some stretching. By the time Qing Xuanzi finished cooking, they had already recovered.
Qing Xuanzi brought out a basin of meat and called to them, "Go wash your hands and face and eat."
Upon hearing the word "eat," the three children instantly perked up, no longer feeling tired, and quickly ran towards the pool.
No matter how good their lunch was, it couldn't keep up with their excessive energy expenditure, and they were already starving by now.
Rong Jiaojiao ran after her, shouting as she went, "Master, Jiaobao, go wash your hands first, I want to eat meat!"
Looking at her adorable appearance, Qing Xuanzi couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, hurry up and wash it, or your two older brothers will eat all the meat."
Upon hearing the word "meat," Rong Zhigao and Rong Zhiyuan immediately quickened their pace, joking with each other, "Whoever washes the fastest gets to eat more meat!"
After the children washed their hands, Qing Xuanzi had already prepared the meal.
The gentle summer evening breeze carried the aroma of meat from the stone table, making the three children move even faster.
After washing their hands, they went into the kitchen to help get bowls and serve dishes, and in no time they were all sitting in a circle around the stone table.
A large bowl of braised pork, a plate of stir-fried seasonal vegetables, a large plate of cucumber salad, and a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Seeing all this delicious food, the children's stomachs started growling in unison, eagerly waiting for Qing Xuanzi to give the order to start eating.
"Uncle, why are you making so much braised pork today?" Rong Zhiyuan stared intently at the pot of meat, his mouth practically watering.
Qing Xuanzi smiled and said, "You all trained very hard today, so I made extra as a reward. Eat more and start eating."
Once Qing Xuanzi started eating, they followed suit, and after a whirlwind of activity, not a drop of soup was left on the table.
After Qing Xuanzi used a few cleaning spells, the dishes were spotless. The two brothers, full of energy after their meal, quickly helped clear the plates and bowls and put them in the kitchen.
Having eaten a bit too much, Rong Zhigao led his younger siblings around the yard. Qing Xuanzi smiled as he watched Rong Jiaojiao chattering behind her brother, then turned and went into the kitchen.
He took out a large bath tub, the same tub he used for medicinal baths in the past, and brought it today to give Rong Zhigao and Rong Zhiyuan a medicinal bath.
Using magic, the boiling water in the pot is channeled into the bath tub, and the herbs used to strengthen tendons and bones are ground into powder and thrown into the bath tub.
Once the water temperature naturally dropped to a comfortable level for bathing, Qingxuanzi carried the bathtub to Rongzhigao and the others' room.
"Go in and soak in the medicinal bath. This is to relax your muscles and relieve fatigue," Qing Xuanzi explained patiently. "Don't move around while you're soaking. Make sure your whole body is submerged. Soak for half an hour, and that's it."
Although the two brothers were unfamiliar with medicinal baths, they immediately nodded in agreement because of their trust in Qing Xuanzi.
Qing Xuanzi led Rong Jiaojiao out of the room, leaving the two brothers to soak in a medicinal bath. The bathtub was large, the hot water submerged their bodies, and the aroma of herbs filled the air.
At first, the two of them felt a little uncomfortable, but soon they felt their fatigue being gradually dispelled.
"Wow, this feels so good!" Rong Zhiyuan couldn't help but exclaim.
Qing Xuanzi reminded from outside, "Soaking in a medicinal bath can unblock the meridians and help the body recover."
"You can try circulating your internal energy to help absorb the medicinal power; it might be more effective."
When he used to train his muscles and bones, he also used his internal energy cultivation techniques as an aid. Although internal energy and primordial energy are different, the principles are the same, so it must be correct.
Rong Jiaojiao always wanted to use her divine sense to see what her brothers were doing, but Qing Xuanzi had set up a barrier around their room with his divine sense, so the little girl's divine sense couldn't penetrate it.
"Master, what are the brothers doing in their room?" Rong Jiaojiao asked Qing Xuanzi curiously, her eyes full of doubt.
Qing Xuanzi smiled and patted her head: "They're taking a medicinal bath to relax. They'll be out in a little while."
Rong Jiaojiao tilted her head, puzzled, and asked, "What is a medicinal bath? Why do the brothers soak in it?"
Qing Xuanzi patiently explained, "Medicinal baths are good for strengthening the body and relieving fatigue."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded as if she understood: "Then the baby should also take a medicinal bath."
Qing Xuanzi said, "Of course you should take a bath, but not now. You are still young. When you are a little older, your master will prepare a medicinal bath for you."
The little girl nodded and said, "Baby understands. You can only take a medicinal bath when you're older."
What else could Qing Xuanzi say but, of course, "Baby is right, baby is so smart..."
The two chatted casually for a while. Qing Xuanzi remembered that he hadn't asked her about the pheasants and rabbits for several days, so he asked her, "Jiaobao, have you fed the chickens and rabbits yet?"
"Don't let them starve to death."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded: "They're well-fed, the little rabbits are almost all grown up."
The little girl's eyes lit up at the thought of the rabbit growing up and being able to eat meat; she looked incredibly hungry.
Qing Xuanzi was speechless. He didn't know why this child liked to eat meat so much. If he didn't practice martial arts every day, he would probably be as fat as a ball by now.
As they talked, half an hour passed quickly. Qing Xuanzi heard noises coming from the room and knew that Rong Zhigao and Rong Zhiyuan had finished their medicinal bath.
Seeing that the two brothers had changed into clean clothes, he and Rong Jiaojiao went to their room. The two of them were in much better spirits than before.
"How are you feeling?" Qing Xuanzi asked.
Rong Zhigao and Rong Zhiyuan exchanged a glance and said in unison, "It feels so good! All the fatigue in my body has disappeared."
Qing Xuanzi nodded in satisfaction: "You should soak in it every day after training from now on. It will be very helpful for your cultivation."
The two said in unison, "Okay, thank you, Uncle Qingxuan."
Qing Xuanzi hummed in agreement and said, "Go and rest now. If you still have energy, continue cultivating your inner strength for a while before going to sleep. Once your inner strength is high enough, you can use meditation and cultivation at night instead of sleeping."
Their eyes lit up: "Uncle Qingxuan, when can we do that?"
Qing Xuanzi smiled with a hint of malice: "Keep it up. You are currently in the mid-stage of Martial Student. There is a late stage, then Perfection, and then Warrior. Warriors also have four minor realms. After that, you will reach the Martial Master realm. You will be ready when you reach the Martial Master realm."
The two brothers were dejected. They had been training for so long, but their internal strength had only reached the mid-stage of the Martial Student realm. When would they be able to reach the Martial Master realm?
Qing Xuanzi laughed and said, "You should be content. Some people train their whole lives and still only reach the Martial Student or Martial Warrior realm. You're already doing well. Keep it up!"
Rong Zhigao looked at his younger brother: "Let's go, let's go cultivate."
Rong Zhiyuan nodded, and the two of them went back to their room without looking back.
Qing Xuanzi led Rong Jiaojiao back to her room and said to her earnestly, "Jiaobao, starting today, we will also cultivate at night. Let's strive to reach the Mage Realm as soon as possible, so that Master can teach you many powerful spells."
