The benefits of being struck by lightning to strengthen muscles and bones are negligible.
Su Hanjiang did this to pave the way for Chu Yiming's future.
Cultivators all know that the inner elixir is a crucial step in the entire cultivation journey, believing that once the inner elixir is formed, everything will be fine.
However, the inner core created from piled-up spiritual fruits is different from that actually cultivated.
How could the transformed inner core be anything more than an ordinary inner core?
Generally speaking, among cultivators at the same stage, the higher the level, the stronger they are.
However, there are always a very few people in this world who can challenge those above their level and are not restricted by their rank.
Aside from being born with exceptionally strong bones and muscles, one can certainly choose to rebuild them through postnatal efforts.
After undergoing a complete transformation and entering the fifth rank, once a cultivator possesses an inner core, they begin to embark on a different path of cultivation compared to ordinary cultivators.
This path is fraught with danger, with a higher chance of failure and the possibility of utter destruction if one is not careful. However, it will also grant cultivators greater strength than those of the same level.
As Chu Yiming listened, his blood seemed to boil, and he excitedly asked, "Is this why Master dared to take on both the Immortal Venerable and the Grand Elder alone?"
Su Hanjiang felt like he had poured his heart out to a stupid dog.
But this silly dog was looking at him with such adoration that even if he wanted to hit it, he felt powerless.
Who would have the heart to hit a stupid dog that only has eyes for them?
Su Hanjiang looked at Chu Yiming with disdain: "From now on, talk less to your junior sister and discuss things more with your junior brother. Use your brain."
Spending so much time with Ye Wan has made my brain rusty from not using it whenever possible.
Chu Yiming felt a little aggrieved: It seems my junior brother doesn't really like talking to me.
"Let's begin."
Su Hanjiang pretended not to see Chu Yiming's grievance and instructed him to begin today's trial.
Chu Yiming was quite astute in this regard and obediently summoned the Chongguang Sword.
The Chongguang Sword's aura was even stronger than usual, and Chu Yiming was confident that he could withstand two moves from Su Hanjiang.
Until the moon set and the sword was drawn.
Chu Yiming was truly dumbfounded, stammering, "Master, Master, you, you, you're not joking, are you?"
Su Hanjiang said, "When have I ever joked? Don't worry, if the Chongguang Sword breaks, I'll find you an even better one."
Chu Yiming's face scrunched up like a gourd: "Master, I'm afraid it's not just the Chongguang Sword that will break!"
"Come!"
For six days and seven nights, Chu Yiming did not return to his residence.
Even Ye Wan was a little worried.
As a result, my appetite decreased significantly. Today I ate one less bowl of rice and only ate four bowls.
All the boys in the courtyard were a little worried, but Ji Kongmeng remained relatively calm.
He continued his daily practice at the appointed time, grinding tea and occasionally asking Ding Yumin for advice on making tea snacks.
The dim sum at Chun Shui Ge is something that outsiders can't replicate, mainly because it comes from a special kind of magic.
When steaming tea pastries, using this technique can make the pastries softer without changing their viscosity.
It can also remove the bitter taste from fruits and flower petals, leaving only their sweet fragrance.
However, this technique is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also has little use other than making desserts.
Therefore, apart from those who specialize in making pastries, not many monks are willing to learn it.
When Ji Kongmeng approached Ding Yumin and said he wanted to learn this kind of magic, Ding Yumin was also taken aback.
Ding Chunshui, Ding Yumin’s father, had told her that Ji Kongmeng was the most comprehension-oriented and talented of Su Hanjiang’s three disciples.
He actually wants to learn such a seemingly useless technique.
Normally, Ji Kongmeng is interested in food, but her interest in food is different from Ye Wan's.
More than the food itself, he was concerned with how it was prepared and how to make it taste better.
They are very picky about food.
Ji Kongmeng was indeed clever; he learned the magic in less than three days and even made some pastries for Ding Yumin to evaluate.
Ding Yumin had just taken a bite when Ye Wan leaned in.
Ji Kongmeng was prepared. He pushed Ye Wan aside and took out a few small plates of snacks from another large food box for her.
Each dish was different, and the portions were even larger than those in front of Ding Yumin.
Ye Wan was about to say that Ji Kongmeng was stingy, but she didn't expect that Ji Kongmeng had prepared something for her.
Ye Wan happily pinched Ji Kongmeng's cheek and praised him for being sensible.
Ji Kongmeng let her pinch him a couple of times, then asked Ding Yumin for her opinion.
Ding Yumin had already tasted them all and nodded: "Brother Ji's application of magic is already superb, there's nothing more I can teach you, but there's one thing Brother Ji must pay attention to."
Ji Kongmeng said, "Please speak, Sister Ding."
Ding Yumin pointed to the green pastry in the middle: "Brother Ji added the juice of fresh Baili bamboo to this pastry. Although it makes the pastry fragrant and refreshing, there is a drawback. I heard that Valley Master Su loves to drink tea. When the juice of Baili bamboo comes into contact with Qianyun tea, it becomes highly poisonous."
"What?"
Ji Kongmeng was startled. He was always extremely careful when choosing materials and had never heard of any clash between Baili bamboo and Qianyun tea.
Su Hanjiang's favorite tea was Qianyun Tea. If it weren't for Ding Yumin's reminder, Ji Kongmeng would have been poisoning his own master.
Baili bamboo comes from the southern region, and its leaves are mild in nature, so they do not clash with Qianyun tea.
Even if consumed at the same time, there will be no major problems.
However, its juice, when used together with Qianyun tea, can form a highly toxic substance.
This deadly poison does not kill immediately, but rather seeps in little by little, first damaging the skin, then entering the bloodstream, and finally penetrating deep into the bone marrow.
The higher the level of the cultivator, the more thorough the destruction.
