Chapter 42: Tempering the Body

  Back in the lab, Duan Yue followed Dingding's prescription and made a medicinal decoction with the Chinese medicine he had bought. After boiling it, he put it in the bathtub.

  There is a Dingding by his side to guide him, and Duan Lei, whether it's medicine or cultivation, is equivalent to having a wise teacher guiding him personally, so he won't make too many mistakes. Unlike the previous configuration of medicinal materials which required several failures, this time Duan Lei successfully configured the elixir for refining his body in one go!

  Looking at the steaming medicinal broth in front of him, Duan Yue still felt a bit apprehensive.

  "A dead pig isn't afraid of boiling water!" Suddenly, Duan Lei thought of this somewhat out-of-place phrase.

  "Ding ding, is this all right?" Duan Lei asked with some concern.

  This is a medicinal soup that has just been boiled, at least it's been put down in the bathtub for a few minutes, but at least it still has a high temperature of over 90 degrees.

  "It's nothing, this is just the beginning. Later on, you'll have to burn fire at the bottom while taking a medicinal bath in the pot!" Ding Ding waved her small hand nonchalantly, comforting Duan Yue.

  After some thought about Dingding's mysterious behavior all along, Duan Lei chose to believe, gritted his teeth, and stepped into the bathtub.

  Lying in the scalding medicinal liquid, Duan Lei only felt that his entire body seemed to be being cooked through, however, in order to obtain great strength, Duan Lei could only endure it!

  "Idiot, start cultivating!" At this moment, the cold and stern voice was like a morning bell and an evening drum in Duan Yue's mind!

  Duan Lei, who was almost unbearable from the high temperature, finally reacted and silently recited the 'Refining Body Fist' mantra in his heart, driving the true energy inside his body to flow along the meridians.

  A few days ago, under Ding's guidance, Duan Lei has already cultivated a thread of true energy in his body and officially entered the first layer of 'Refining Body Fist', getting off to a good start.

  As soon as the true energy began to circulate inside his body, Duan Ling suddenly discovered that the originally scalding hot medicinal broth's temperature seemed to have lowered by a lot, becoming exceptionally comfortable!

  Duan Yue felt that all the pores on his body were open, and the warm flow was like it had come to life, pouring into his body with great force, finally merging with his true energy and circulating back and forth in his meridians.

  If the last diamond energy drilling into the body was an excruciating experience, this time's medicinal bath was as gentle as a spring breeze on the face, and the huge difference between the two left Duan Lei somewhat bewildered.

  It's just a relative feeling after all!

  The last diamond energy had violently ravaged Duan Lei's flesh and blood, his meridians were much larger than those of ordinary people, and his muscles and skin had greatly increased their tolerance to high temperatures. Now the relatively mild medicinal bath energy would not make Duan Lei, who already had a certain degree of resistance, feel any pain, but only a comfortable feeling.

  If it were an ordinary person, the energy in the medicine would still make him understand what it means to be in agony!

  The first layer of the 'Lian Ti Quan' heart method is very simple, it's just letting the true Qi circulate through the twelve regular meridians, Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian and Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian, and finally return to the Dan Tian.

  When he was young, Duan Yue also followed his grandfather to learn some simple traditional Chinese medicine knowledge. During this period of time, because of providing materials for Dingding, he also flipped through a large number of traditional Chinese medicine classics and had a certain understanding of the human body's meridians. Therefore, practicing "Lian Ti Quan" naturally wouldn't be too difficult, with some twice-the-result-with-half-the-effort effect.

  The true energy was like a small mouse running back and forth in Duan Yu's meridians, putting him into a very mysterious state, almost unable to extricate himself.

  Duan Yue closed his eyes and felt the true energy growing stronger thread by thread, and he could also sense that his own strength had increased significantly.

  Slowly, the energy contained in the medicine was getting less and less, Duan Lei gradually felt that the energy entering his body was getting thinner and thinner, until it was almost imperceptible. Duan Lei knew it was time to end his cultivation, slowly withdrew his power, and stood up.

  The originally brown liquid has faded and become abnormally cold, apparently having been left for quite some time.

  At this time, Duan Yue finally understood why some people described 'cultivation without day and month'. Once a martial artist closed the door to cultivate, it was ten days, half a month or even longer. This is because when cultivating, it's like absorbing

  Generally speaking, the whole person falls into an unspeakable state, unable to feel the passage of time.

  Duansheng walked out of the bathroom and changed into his training uniform. He then began practicing "Lian Ti Quan" in the empty space in front of the house!

  From the motion of arrival to the whistling sound of the fist wind, Duan Yue could feel that his strength had increased, and he also had more confidence in the future!

  Seeing Duan Yue's progress, Ding Ding also nodded secretly, although the spiritual energy of the earth is insufficient, but with the help of medicine and Duan Yue's talent, he should be able to make rapid progress in a short period of time. With strength as the foundation, Ding Ding can also boldly hand over some techniques to Duan Yue, allowing him to quickly establish his own power and realize Ding Ding's wishes earlier.

  Feeling his own progress, Duan Yue naturally had more confidence and motivation!

  In the following days, Duan Yue devoted most of his time and energy to practicing 'Lian Ti Fist' and tempering his body, except for taking good care of the phagocytic melon in the laboratory. Even the clever and lovely little lion didn't have that much time to take care of, so he took it back to school and let Tang Li'er take care of it.

  Originally, Ding Yuan wanted to handle the transfer procedures for Lui'er, but Tang Lui'er's father, Tang Xiangjun, did not express any opinion. However, the old man in Beijing spoke out and said that everything would remain the same, so Ding Yuan could only give up.

  After this little episode, Duan Yue and Tang Lier both understood that for two people to be together is not such a simple matter, it requires more effort from both parties.

  Duan Lei told Tang Lier that he needs to do some experiments during this period, and it is estimated that most of the time will be spent in the laboratory, asking Tang Lier to take good care of Little Lion.

  Although Tang Lian'er was reluctant, she wasn't the kind of girl who didn't understand reason. She knew that if they insisted on being together every day, it would inevitably lead to her parents' backlash, making things even more difficult. If Duan Lei could quickly achieve something in his career, her parents wouldn't be so opposed to their relationship, and then she could go talk to her grandfather again, making things easier.

  It is indeed true that 'if love lasts a lifetime, it will not be limited to just morning and evening!'

  With his worries settled, Duan Yue was able to devote all his thoughts to the laboratory and his practice. Perhaps others could not imagine that in such a simple laboratory, countless amazing technologies would be created. After several years, Cai Village even became a coveted high-tech industrial center, a entrepreneurial holy land for many young talents.
