She closed her eyes and felt the changes in her body. Perhaps Rong Jiaojiao's physical strength was too much, because apart from feeling a little warm, Rong Jiaojiao did not feel pain or discomfort like her brothers.
She frowned slightly and muttered to herself, "Did I do something wrong?"
Leng Qianjue, who was standing to the side, heard her voice and asked, "What's wrong, Jiaojiao?"
Rong Jiaojiao opened her eyes and said with some confusion, "Grandmaster, I felt warm during the medicinal bath, but I didn't feel the pain that my brothers mentioned. Did I do something wrong?"
Leng Qianjue gently patted her head: "Silly child, this means your physical condition is very good, and the medicine is relatively mild for you. Everyone's constitution is different, and the sensation will also be different. As long as you circulate your qigong in the medicinal bath, the medicine will be absorbed well, so don't worry."
Upon hearing Leng Qianjue's words, Rong Jiaojiao smiled with relief: "That's good. I thought I had done something wrong."
Leng Qianjue continued, "The most important thing during a medicinal bath is to relax your mind and body, allowing the medicinal properties to naturally penetrate your body. You're doing very well. Keep practicing like this, and your body will become stronger and stronger."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded, her little face serious, and said, "I understand, Grandmaster. I will do my best."
She closed her eyes and continued circulating her qi, feeling the medicinal power penetrate her body. This time, she was more relaxed, and her body felt more comfortable. The medicinal power slowly seeped into her bones and muscles, making her feel a warm and comfortable energy flowing through her body.
Seeing her serious expression, Leng Qianjue felt secretly gratified.
The medicinal bath lasted for an hour. When Rong Jiaojiao came out of the bath, her face was flushed and she looked more energetic.
She put on clean clothes, walked to Leng Qianjue's side, and asked, "Grandmaster, why do I feel so sleepy after my medicinal bath?"
Leng Qianjue explained with a smile, "The medicinal properties in the bath will help your body relax, while also promoting recovery and growth. This process will make you feel tired, so you'll want to sleep. This is a normal reaction, indicating that the medicine is working."
Rong Jiaojiao said "Oh, oh" twice: "Should I go to sleep now?"
Leng Qianjue nodded slightly: "Yes, resting well after the medicinal bath will help your body absorb the medicinal effects better. Once you've rested, your body will become stronger."
Rong Jiaojiao, with her childlike nature, was secretly delighted, thinking that she finally didn't have to cultivate and could go to sleep early. She happily said, "Okay, Grandmaster. I'll go rest now. See you tomorrow, Grandmaster!"
After saying that, he quickly ran into the room arranged for her, picked up Ziling and lay down on the bed. He soon fell into a deep sleep, and his body continued to absorb the medicinal power while he slept.
Leng Qianjue was both amused and exasperated: [I don't know what Xiao Xuanzi did to her; look at how sleepy the child is.]
He shook his head, turned around, and went back to his room...
The next day, before dawn, Rong Jiaojiao was already up cultivating. The spiritual energy here was much richer than in Qing Xuanzi's courtyard, and Rong Jiaojiao felt that her cultivation was particularly smooth.
She sat cross-legged on the bed and began to circulate her energy, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.
After cultivating for two hours, Rong Jiaojiao felt full of energy. She opened her eyes, jumped out of bed, and put a cleansing talisman on herself. Her body was immediately clean, and even her teeth were spotless.
Upon entering the courtyard, Rong Jiaojiao saw her grandmaster sitting on the platform with his eyes closed. Not knowing if he was cultivating, she didn't want to disturb him, so she assumed a stance and consciously squatted into a horse stance.
From the moment the little girl's spiritual energy began to fluctuate after she started cultivating, Leng Qianjue had been paying attention to her every move. Seeing that she was self-disciplined and sensible, his affection for her grew even stronger.
He opened his eyes after Rong Jiaojiao finished practicing her horse stance and smiled at her, saying, "Jiaojiao, you got up really early. You started practicing so conscientiously again today."
Upon hearing Leng Qianjue's voice, Rong Jiaojiao immediately stopped what she was doing and ran to his side to greet him: "Good morning, Grandmaster! I've finished my cultivation and I feel especially good today!"
Leng Qianjue nodded, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes: "You did very well. You were very focused when you cultivated, and your progress was obvious."
Rong Jiaojiao looked up at him: "Grandmaster, what should we do next?"
Leng Qianjue took out two bags filled with fine steel balls and said, "I watched your training yesterday. There's not much point in practicing those anymore. Let's train something else today."
Rong Jiaojiao curiously took the bag and asked, "Grandmaster, what is this?"
Leng Qianjue smiled slightly: "These are bags filled with fine steel balls, each weighing ten pounds, used to increase weight training. You can tie them to your legs."
She obediently tied the two bags to her legs, lifted her legs and took a few steps to try them out. They felt a little heavy, but she didn't feel particularly tired.
Leng Qianjue took out an iron sword and gave it to Rong Jiaojiao: "This iron sword weighs ten jin. You will use it to practice basic sword techniques."
He took out a sword himself, came to the center of the platform, and made a starting stance, saying: "Come, follow Grandmaster, let's start with the most basic sword techniques. Sword techniques emphasize agility and precision. Every move and every stance must be done properly, without the slightest carelessness."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded, a serious look on her face: "I understand, Grandmaster. I will study hard!"
She picked up the iron sword and followed behind Leng Qianjue, beginning to imitate his movements.
Although the iron sword was quite heavy, she was also quite strong and could swing it with relative ease.
She followed Leng Qianjue's movements and practiced each move one by one.
As Leng Qianjue demonstrated, she explained, "The foundation of swordsmanship lies in the five basic movements: 'thrust, chop, slash, flick, and thrust.'"
“Every movement must be executed perfectly. Power should originate from the soles of your feet, be transmitted through your waist to your arms, and finally be concentrated at the tip of your sword.”
Rong Jiaojiao listened attentively, imitating as she felt the transmission of power.
She kept a straight face and focused intently. Although her movements were a little stiff at first, they gradually became smoother.
Leng Qianjue turned around from time to time to give instructions: "Pay attention to the direction of the sword tip, and always keep it pointing at the target. Do it again, this time pay attention to the transfer of power."
Rong Jiaojiao pursed her lips, and this time she paid more attention to the direction of the sword tip and the transmission of power, and her movements became more fluid.
After more than ten minutes, even though Rong Jiaojiao's physique was no less than that of an adult, her arms began to ache, and large beads of sweat rolled down her cheeks, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered without the slightest complaint.
Leng Qianjue saw this and felt even more gratified. He knew that this little girl had outstanding perseverance and determination.
Ten minutes later, seeing that Rong Jiaojiao could barely lift her arm, Leng Qianjue finally called a halt.
