Wang Yingqiu came up first and pressed Jing Zhe down to sit in the chair next to the coffee table.
Then, smiling, she went over to open the door: "Don't move around here. I'm going to wash some dates and I'll be back in a bit!"
Jing Zhe put Wang Yingqiu down with a bewildered look on his face. He then saw her open the door and go out. A short while later, she returned carrying a fruit platter filled with fresh, juicy dates.
It's this jujube!
Oh, right!
Jing Zhe chuckled, thinking to himself that it was a good opportunity to conduct an experiment, and then said, "You wait here, let me go eat a date first!"
So he secretly took the medicine bottle out of his clothes, then swaggered into the front hall, pretended to eat a few dates, and casually ate one that was "sooner or later doomed".
What puzzled him was that as soon as he swallowed the pill, he felt as if a ball of fire was about to burst out of his lower abdomen. He wondered if this was the "dantian heat" he had read about in martial arts novels.
So, they went into the inner room again...
...
It had been almost half an hour since Jing Zhe entered the house, and Wang Yingqiu had come out to wash the dates once at first, but neither of them had come out since.
The female disciple who brought them food yesterday wondered if she should bring them some tea. They must be thirsty after chatting for so long, right?
So, I took the tea upstairs.
Upon reaching the door, hearing the familiar woman's voice inside, the female disciple shook her head, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
They had privately speculated about the relationship between Jing Zhe and Wang Yingqiu, all feeling that there must be some ambiguous, intimate connection between them, and it seems that was indeed the case…
The female disciple, holding onto the railing, carefully stepped down. Having learned her lesson last time, she dared not tell a second person this time.
But once she got downstairs, she couldn't resist the urge to go upstairs and kept thinking about the battle going on. After some internal struggle, she decided to go upstairs and bring some tea. It shouldn't be a problem.
When she got upstairs, she was dumbfounded: it had been half an hour since the last tea was served... it seemed she would have to wait a little longer.
...
One hour later…
Jing Zhe was also startled, thinking to himself that the Taoist priest Zhou Zhiwei had mentioned was indeed not a charlatan, but a true master!
Having taken a pill that was "sooner or later it will all be over," he was most aware of the changes in his body. It seemed to be filled with an inexhaustible source of energy, which was not at all like the state one should be in after being busy for more than an hour.
Moreover, he vaguely felt that some pathways in his body had been opened up, but he didn't know martial arts and couldn't explain why.
So he told her the whole story of how he met Zhou Zhiwei and how he was "doomed sooner or later." When Jing Zhe said he was worried that he couldn't do it, Wang Yingqiu rolled her eyes at him, her eyes full of affection.
However, after hearing about his physical changes, Wang Yingqiu's expression became serious: "After hearing what you said, I felt it myself, and it seems that my internal strength has also improved, but not by much, so the improvement is not obvious."
Then, after carefully examining Jing Zhe, he suddenly opened his mouth wide and stared in disbelief.
"You...you actually have internal energy?"
For someone like Wang Yingqiu, who had practiced martial arts since childhood, knowing that Jing Zhe's body, which hadn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage, was simply a pipe dream if he wanted to practice martial arts now, let alone develop internal energy.
But now, he truly possesses internal energy…
I have to say, this is amazing.
Jing Zhe was also startled, then overjoyed.
Does this mean I'm destined to be both scholarly and martial?
He pieced together everything Zhou Zhiwei had said. "Sooner or later it will be over" should be "taking the pill of jujubes". The medicine is jujubes. And rotating yin and yang probably refers to the dual cultivation of yin and yang. Only in the end can one cultivate the foundation and strengthen the body, which is beneficial to both men and women!
But by a twist of fate, the medicine only took effect after he ate the dates!
Such a wonderful medicine was given to him by Zhou Zhiwei. It seems I really need to teach him calligraphy properly in the future.
Jing Zhe thought to himself.
