Li Mu had been reading in the medical school library for four days, and today he finally saw the rubbings of books in the document room.
In order to read rare ancient books more smoothly and avoid being stumped by obscure characters, Li Mu also consulted several large dictionaries in advance.
The rewards in the document room were indeed greater than those in ordinary books. Many lost prescriptions and extinct medicinal herbs could only be found there. Some of the herbs were even similar to those described in my previous life's cultivation world, except that these herbs had disappeared in this world.
Starting at nine in the morning, Li Mu stayed until the afternoon, using his divine sense to read through most of the literature. Around four in the afternoon, Li Mu left the medical school. He originally wanted to tell Wang Yue, but the little girl was in class, so he gave up.
The reason I left early was because I had agreed with Li Hongjun that I would help him with his physical conditioning and teach him a set of exercises today.
Li Mu had no intention of keeping anything secret from his second uncle. He had prepared two cultivation techniques: one was a celestial technique he was currently cultivating, and the other was a martial arts technique. He would see if Li Hongjun had spiritual roots.
If there were spiritual root testing equipment here, Li Mu wouldn't have prepared like this. The key is that there aren't even any cultivators here, so how could there be a testing device? The only way to test is through cultivation techniques.
When Li Mu returned home, he saw that Li Hongjun was already waiting for him. Li Hongjun showed great enthusiasm for cultivation.
If he had been born into an ordinary family, he would have become indifferent to the pursuit of martial arts techniques at his age. But after witnessing Li Mu fight, Li Hongjun's passion was rekindled.
.
Li Mu told Li Hongjun to go back to his room to prepare, while he went to the study to get Qi-boosting pills and silver needles.
Dozens of small jade bottles were neatly arranged in the cabinet of the study. For easier carrying, Li Mu also took two pieces of jade from the wall to refine these bottles. The jade bottles were only the size of a thumb, and each bottle contained three Qi-replenishing pills.
When Li Mu arrived at Li Hongjun's room with the small jade bottle and silver needles, Li Hongjun had already stripped down to his underwear and was lying on the bed. Looking at the middle-aged, greasy man's bare body, Li Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Since his cheap second uncle had already made preparations, Li Mu didn't delay any longer and closed the door to begin.
First, he channeled a breath of spiritual energy into Li Hongjun's chest to protect his heart meridian, and then channeled a trace of spiritual energy into his meridians to circulate it throughout his body. Afterward, he picked up silver needles and began to unblock Li Hongjun's meridians.
This method of clearing the blockage is similar to cleansing the marrow and purifying the meridians. Since Li Mu's cultivation level is not high enough to perform such a cleansing and purifying process, he can only make do with this method.
This kind of meridian dredging involves stimulating acupoints with silver needles and guiding the spiritual energy in the meridians to cleanse the acupoints. Every acupoint must be visited, so it is very mentally taxing.
Li Mu thought it would only take three or four hours to finish, but it took him the whole night, and he didn't finish until around nine o'clock in the morning. By the end, Li Mu was exhausted, and Li Hongjun fell asleep immediately.
The original plan was to try the exercise directly after clearing the blockage, but that's not possible now. Li Mu needs to rest. After taking a Qi-tonifying pill, he sat down to meditate and regulate his breathing next to Li Hongjun's bed.
.
Wang Yue had no classes that day, so she arrived at the library early. She still had some complaints about Li Mutou's sudden departure.
These past few days have probably been the happiest days for Wang Yue. Although Li Mu doesn't talk much, just being able to spend some time with him every day makes her feel good. In particular, his aura is very special, and she's somewhat infatuated with it, though she doesn't yet realize that it's infatuation.
Two hours later, Li Mu still hadn't arrived, and her heart began to sink, feeling somewhat disappointed.
Two more hours passed, and Li Mu was still nowhere to be seen. Wang Yue's heart sank to the bottom. She realized what she had lost and began to blame herself, thinking she shouldn't have had any complaints about Li Mu leaving without saying goodbye.
After Wang Yue got her food from the cafeteria, she felt like something was stuck in her throat, making it hard to swallow.
She felt a pang of regret, regretting that she hadn't asked where Li Mu lived. If she had known where he lived, she could have gone directly to him if she wanted to see him.
She didn't know why she had these feelings for this boy she had only known for a few days, nor did she know how she would face him if she saw Li Mu again. She simply wanted to see him, to stay by his side for a while, and to smell his scent.
After leaving the cafeteria, Wang Yue didn't go to the library but went straight back to her dorm. Lying on her bed, two lines of tears unknowingly slid down her cheeks, and she began to ask herself, what's wrong with me?
.
Perhaps due to overwork during this period, or perhaps because his body had just been cleaned up by Li Mu, Li Hongjun entered a deep sleep and slept until 11 a.m.
When Li Hongjun woke up, Li Mu sensed that he had basically recovered.
Surprisingly, this mere Qi-tonifying pill, which didn't seem to have much effect last time, actually helped him recover quite well this time. Thinking about it, it's probably because he didn't expend much energy last time, but this time he did, so the effect was much better.
"Xiao Mu, you're awake. Let me tell you how I feel. I feel relaxed and full of energy." Li Hongjun was very excited after waking up.
"Let's go eat first, then we'll start." Li Mu nodded, looking at Li Hongjun's excited face.
He thought to himself, if his body doesn't react at all after being cleansed, then it's not a matter of cultivating immortality or martial arts; he can only settle down and be a wealthy man.
Speaking of food, Li Mu thought of the free meals he'd been eating these past few days, and Wang Yue, who always shared half her food with him. The thought of the little girl pouting and looking angry made Li Mu smile.
After lunch, Li Mu first had Li Hongjun practice his technique. Two hours later, Li Hongjun's breathing became somewhat disordered. He could still practice, but he couldn't draw spiritual energy into his body, which meant that Li Hongjun had no spiritual root.
Li Mu had no choice but to pass on his martial arts training methods to Li Hongjun, including both fist techniques and internal energy cultivation methods. The fist technique was the Empty Fist. Martial arts cultivation involves learning fist techniques first, then internal energy cultivation methods. This set of fist techniques was the martial arts training method that his proud martial arts friend had used to defeat him in a fight in his previous life.
Two hours later, Li Hongjun had mastered the boxing technique, showing both form and spirit. Li Mu knew he couldn't ask for too much; for a greasy middle-aged man who had just started learning martial arts, this level was already quite good.
.
After dinner, fueled by his passion for martial arts, Li Hongjun practiced a simple set of boxing techniques no less than a hundred times. Li Mu knew that was enough. He wanted to exhaust Li Hongjun so that the pills would be more effective.
In my previous life on the Immortal Cultivation Continent, those who practiced martial arts were cultivators who could not cultivate immortality. Their cultivation lacked the assistance of cultivators like myself who protected them, and they did not cultivate elixirs, so they needed to endure a long period of hardship.
But Li Hongjun is different now; he has both, thus saving a lot of time in the arduous process.
Li Mu first taught Li Hongjun the principles of martial arts cultivation and helped him circulate his energy through the body's energy channels. Once Li Hongjun was proficient, Li Mu gave him a Qi-boosting pill to swallow directly.
Within minutes, Li Hongjun's body swelled up like a balloon, and Li Mu had no choice but to help.
Unexpectedly, the Qi-tonifying pills, which he hadn't taken much of, had such a strong reaction from Li Hongjun, who had never cultivated before; he almost burst from the overeating. This was even after the medicine was divided into a hundred portions, and thankfully, so many.
Using the spiritual energy he had channeled into Li Hongjun's body and meridians, Li Mu guided the energy erupting within Li Hongjun to cleanse his body and meridians. This guidance took a full three hours before the energy within Li Hongjun's body subsided.
The energy was moderate, not digested or absorbed, which caused Li Hongjun to be in a state of high excitement for several days in a row, without feeling hungry, and to continuously practice martial arts.
Three days later, Li Hongjun actually broke through to the Bronze Skin Realm and became a martial artist.
