After bringing Zhan Yihan to the cave and sitting down, Su Jinyue took off the wooden box on her back and opened it. She had complete trust in Yihan.
Zhan Yihan was slightly startled when he saw the contents of the wooden box. After joining the army, he was selected for a special unit due to his outstanding performance. Special units practiced ancient martial arts. So when he saw the contents of the wooden box, he knew they were all for cultivation.
Seeing Zhan Yihan's expression, Su Jinyue knew he must know these things. "Brother Yihan, have you seen these things?" She brought him here, not only because it was relatively private, but also to share these things with him. He must often receive various dangerous missions in the army. If these could help him, she was willing to give them to him, as long as he was safe.
"I've heard of the Marrow Cleansing Pill. It can remove impurities from the body and open up the meridians, which is extremely beneficial for cultivation." Zhan Yihan picked up the bottle of Marrow Cleansing Pill, opened it and smelled it, and immediately felt refreshed.
In the special forces, he could gain access to many secrets untold by ordinary people. This world seemed simple, but apart from those with special status in the country, ordinary people were completely unaware of the existence of cultivators. Cultivators were not only practitioners of ancient martial arts, but also included those who cultivated the true nature of things. Cultivators were the truly terrifying existence.
However, most cultivators live in seclusion in the city. Except for some people who hold important positions in the country, others can't see them at all. For example, there are cultivators in famous sects such as Maoshan and the Five Mountains.
Su Jinyue's eyes lit up, "There are exactly two Marrow Cleansing Pills. Let's take one each." Although she didn't know how to practice cultivation, she knew that opening up the meridians was extremely beneficial.
Zhan Yihan looked at Su Jinyue with a hint of worry in his eyes, "Taking the marrow cleansing pill requires going through a painful process, can you bear it?" He was fine, he could endure any pain, but he was worried that Jinyue would not be able to bear the process.
"Will opening up my meridians make me stronger?" Su Jinyue asked. This was her biggest concern right now. Although Song Yiren wouldn't attack her anytime soon, she wouldn't tolerate it for long after Yihan left. If she became stronger, she wouldn't have to fear the men in black.
"Opening up the meridians will make the body lighter. If one has good aptitude and combines it with the right cultivation method, one can become stronger." Zhan Yihan put down the marrow cleansing pill and picked up the Heavenly Cultivation Sutra to read through it. The more he read, the more shocked he became. "This is actually a cultivation method!"
"What is the cultivation method?" Su Jinyue looked at Zhan Yihan in confusion.
"The practice of cultivation involves storing external energy within one's body to improve one's constitution and maximize one's potential. Simply put, it's about developing one's own potential and becoming stronger," Zhan Yihan said. He had only a limited understanding of cultivation, knowing only that there were cultivators in this world.
"Can we practice cultivation?" Su Jinyue asked anxiously. It sounded awesome. If she could practice cultivation, she wouldn't have to fear anything.
"We can give it a try," Zhan Yihan said uncertainly. He had never come across any cultivation techniques before, and he didn't know if this one was suitable for them.
Su Jinyue picked up the marrow cleansing pills, poured them out, handed one to Zhan Yihan, and swallowed one, "Let's give it a try." She had even experienced death, so what kind of pain was there that she couldn't endure?
"Wait a minute..." Zhan Yihan had originally wanted to try it himself to see if there was anything wrong with the Marrow Cleansing Pill, but he hadn't expected Su Jinyue to have already swallowed it. He could only shake his head helplessly and swallow the pill as well. If there was a problem with the Marrow Cleansing Pill, then they could all bear it together. He hoped Jinyue could survive this.
When the marrow cleansing pill entered her body, Su Jinyue immediately felt as if she was being burned by fire. Gradually, the feeling became stronger and stronger, and indescribable pain came from all her limbs and bones, as if her whole body was about to be burned.
Su Jinyue's face grew increasingly pale, beads of sweat already covering her forehead and body. She gritted her teeth, enduring the tearing pain. As long as she could become stronger, she would be willing to endure the torture of the eighteen levels of hell.
Time passed unnoticed, and gradually, Su Jinyue felt the pain in her body slowly disappear as time went by, replaced by a cool and comfortable feeling. She couldn't help but moan in comfort and slowly opened her eyes. She saw Zhan Yihan looking at her with a smile. Her face couldn't help but blush, "Are you okay already?"
Zhan Yihan smiled and nodded, pointing to a basin of water and a set of clothes beside him, "Clean up first, I'll tell you later." He was a practitioner of ancient martial arts, and several of his meridians were already opened. Naturally, he absorbed the marrow cleansing pill much faster than her.
"Where did these come from?" Su Jinyue looked at the water and clothes in front of her in surprise. They didn't bring these when they came.
"I went back to get it. I told Uncle Xu that you were collecting herbs in the mountains these days and told him not to worry." Zhan Yihan said with a smile.
"How many days?" Su Jinyue blinked in confusion.
"It's been three days." Seeing Su Jinyue's cute appearance, Zhan Yihan's eyes were full of doting, and he couldn't help but reach out and rub her hair.
"Three days?!" Su Jinyue opened her eyes wide in shock. It felt like only a short while had passed, so how could it already be three days?
