Master Ziyang wasn't angry at all when he heard Viya's words. He laughed and said, "Hehe, this young lady is quite interesting. This isn't some kind of technology or grueling skill, but rather a perilla drink that has been passed down in our country for thousands of years. It was one of the most popular drinks during the Song Dynasty. It has the effect of circulating qi throughout the body and relieving exterior cold. If you have a cold, drinking a little of this will instantly make you feel much better. Of course, you can also drink it when you're not sick. Come on, try it and see how it tastes."
With the introduction of Master Ziyang, the two each picked up a cup and took a small sip, and were immediately captivated by the taste.
Via's beautiful eyes widened in surprise as she exclaimed, "Wow, this tastes so good! It smells so good!"
Lei Ming drank a cup and immediately found it delicious, with a very unique flavor.
It must be said that Master Ziyang's creations are all quite extraordinary.
"Master, can I make this myself when I get back? Isn't the sugar content a bit too high?" This thing looks good and tastes good, so Lei Ming naturally wanted to go back and make some to try.
"Hehe, of course. This perilla is not worth much money. It can be found in almost many places. For you martial arts practitioners, drinking this is better than drinking any other beverage. If you want, I'll have Xiao Song send you some mature seedlings later. You can pick some and boil them to drink whenever you want."
"This perilla is an annual herb. It is neutral in nature and non-toxic. It only grows rapidly in the summer. You can make a flower bed and plant the seedlings there. After the seeds come out in the fall, collect them and plant them again in the spring of the following year. You can then enjoy fresh leaves in the summer."
"Also, don't be fooled by how sweet this rock sugar is; it's a good thing. It's made from cane sugar and is alkaline, so drinking it will definitely prevent cavities. Nowadays, when many children have cavities or are bitten by aphids and cry out in pain, just give them some cane sugar water to suck on, and they'll feel better immediately. That's why people in ancient times rarely had cavities..."
When Master Ziyang met Lei Ming, he told him many stories, which amazed Lei Ming. He realized that there was indeed a reason why traditional Chinese medicine culture could be passed down to this day.
Afterwards, Lei Ming and Wei Ya rested in the Taoist temple for one night. That night, the two slept in plain clothes without making any noise. The next day, they got up early, ate breakfast, and waited for the sunrise together.
The sunrise was beautiful, casting a sacred and solemn light on the ancient Taoist temple.
Via felt that this was the most memorable sunrise she had ever experienced.
Not only is the air fresh and the scenery beautiful, but there is also a very unique Taoist atmosphere here. Watching many Taoist priests dressed in white robes doing their daily rituals in the early morning sun, he suddenly understood why Lei always got up early to do those movements. It turned out that he learned them from here.
After just one day here, Via felt as if her whole being had been purified, and she felt very comfortable.
Just as Lei Ming had said, this place is indeed magical.
Due to time constraints, the two had to bid farewell to the Taoist priests after staying for a day.
However, before leaving, Via donated one million yuan to the Taoist temple as incense money. Although it was not in pounds but in Chinese yuan, it still surprised everyone in the temple.
As expected, the patriarch was right; these two are indeed their gods of wealth!
Before parting, when Via was alone, Master Ziyang spoke to her in English: "Miss Via, you are indeed a very generous and rare girl. Lei Ming is fortunate to be with you. To thank you for your offerings, I advise you to stop drinking milk and similar beverages in the future. Drinking more cooled boiled water is better than anything else. In the summer, get more sun to follow the energy of heaven and earth. If you do as I say, I guarantee your figure will always be this good and will never change shape."
"What does drinking milk have to do with maintaining a good figure? It's a source of protein that the human body needs to replenish every day!"
Via felt as if she had heard a fairy tale. This was news that he said he would only tell her after donating a million!
"Of course there's a connection. The fact that most European women change their bodies after the age of thirty is largely related to milk. The protein it provides may not be the same protein your body needs. That's all I have to say. Until next time."
Master Ziyang was well aware that it was indeed difficult to accept suddenly asking a foreigner to stop drinking what they had been drinking since childhood. He simply did not want such a kind girl to become as unattractive as those European aunties in the future.
As for how much she can absorb, that's entirely up to her own fate.
After descending the mountain, Lei Ming found it strange to see Viya looking slightly angry. He was both amused and exasperated when he finally understood why.
He had heard Master Ziyang talk about this milk issue before, and he followed his advice. He basically stopped drinking it during his training and only occasionally drank some soy milk or other grains. He felt that he was indeed healthier than before.
Who would have thought that this thing would be the culprit behind women's body shape changes!
When Viya said that Master Ziyang's analogy of drinking too much makes one like an ox, he couldn't help but chuckle. Now that he thinks about it, what Master Ziyang said is not without reason. Many foreign women really are like that when they get older.
But that's not entirely true. Master Ziyang once said that it's related to foreigners' eating habits. Fast food and hormone-laden foods may be convenient for them, but they also affect their bodies. There are many women who change after the age of thirty.
He knew it would be difficult to change Via's mind immediately, but for her future, he decided to help her give up milk.
After all, I don't want my future partner to be an overweight woman; otherwise, even the most beautiful true love would probably turn sour.

Zidane's Real Madrid, the new generation of Galácticos, versus Klopp's Liverpool, known as the revived Red Army.

Although neither of these two powerhouse teams has achieved great results in their respective leagues, they are undoubtedly strong contenders in the Champions League.
Whether Cristiano Ronaldo's Real Madrid is more powerful or Salah's Liverpool will emerge victorious has undoubtedly become the hottest topic online.
That evening, Lei Ming and Viya watched the entire match from their hotel in Russia.
To be honest, watching Ronaldo's repeated attacks on the TV screen, he was even more nervous than Ronaldo himself.
