Volume 1 Catechumens Chapter 4 Hundred Refining Bodies (I)

People are in good spirits when they are happy, and Wu Xie is no exception. Although he was a little weak because he had consumed a lot of vitality, his spirit was exceptionally good, and he seemed to be in high spirits for the next few days, whether it was the work in the pharmacy or the errand to prepare for the autumn festival, he was doing it happily, and even the martial arts training that he was not very interested in in the past was a little more energetic.

"Fourth brother, are you sick? Why did you suddenly start practicing martial arts? When he saw him wearing a sand tank top and jogging in the town to exercise his physical fitness, Lin Lushan, a sworn brother who was sitting under a tree and studying the verses, finally couldn't help but ask.

Looking at his brother's concerned expression, Wu Xie felt a warm heart, and couldn't help but smile, repeatedly assuring that he was absolutely healthy, just ready to exercise, from physical strength to mental strength......

Although it could be seen that Wu Xie was pure nonsense, seeing that he was in good spirits, Lin Lushan also relieved himself.

Wu Lin's two families are world friends - no, they are closer than that, Wu Xie's father Wu Dafu and Lin Lushan's father Lin Xiucai are brothers with different surnames at the intersection of eight worships, and they also have a sworn brother, that is, Du Tuanlian, who is teaching Wu Xie to practice martial arts.

These three brothers practiced medicine, forming the most stable group in the "upper class" of the small town of Wujiaji, and the five children of the three families are also called brothers: the eldest is Du Tuanlian's son Du Pre, who is now the head catcher in the county; The second is Wu Cheng, the eldest son of Dr. Wu, who travels back and forth to various nearby villages and towns every day as a traveling party; The third Du Ruo, the only daughter of the three families, is a fierce tigress, who can fight better than her brother, and has even surpassed Du Tuanlian; The fourth Wu Xie is a promising young man who is steady and motivated; The old man is Lin Lushan, a diligent and well-read little nerd who can only read dead books.

The five brothers have a very good relationship, but Wu Xie doesn't plan to tell Lin Lushan about going out to seek immortals - this kid is a little stupid in reading, and he can't hide words in his stomach, as long as he tells him about it, everyone in the town will know about it in a few days.

After a few casual greetings, Lin Lushan sighed again: "Everyone seems to be a little strange these days, the fourth brother, who has never been interested in martial arts, has actually practiced martial arts hard; And the third sister, who was supposed to be making waves everywhere in addition to practicing martial arts every day, was sick and listless all day long......"

Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he hadn't seen Du Ruo appear in the martial arts training ground for several days, and couldn't help but wonder a little.

Du Ruona's female overlord has three hobbies in her life, the first is that she likes to eat sweets, often steals licorice and tangerine peel concocted by Wu Jie, and sometimes even goes to Sanshanguan to steal sweet cakes dedicated to the gods; The second is that he likes to cause fights and brawls, and he doesn't know how much trouble he has caused; The third is that I like to practice martial arts, and it is uncomfortable if I don't practice for two or three hours a day.

She hadn't practiced martial arts for several days in a row! That's a rarity!

"Fourth brother, third sister, is she sick?" Lin Lushan asked with concern.

Wu Xie recalled the appearance of the tigress when he saw Du Ruo in the past few days, and felt that she did not look like she was sick.

"Her house is separated from my house by a wall, if you are sick, you can come and see a doctor and grab medicine two steps away - no, with her character, I am afraid that I will be able to fry the medicine and send it to the door, and I will have to add ten times the licorice......" Thinking of what happened when Du Ruo was sick, Wu Xie couldn't help laughing, "Since my family's licorice hasn't suffered yet, then she must not be sick!" ”

Lin Lushan was amused by these words, so he put his mind at ease, buried his head in the books again, fought a lawsuit with Yinyun with difficulty, and tried to piece together a decent poem.

The martial arts of the Eastern Chu State prevailed and the literature and art were not prominent, the main test of the imperial examination was poetry, and the little nerd wrote articles and made do, but he was really not good at writing poetry, and it often took several days to hold back a dry and bright poem, Wu Xie every time he listened to his poetry, he couldn't wait to teach him those ancient sentences on the earth directly.

It's a pity that this kid has a pretty upright personality, so he will never accept it......

Wu Jie's style is very pragmatic, since he can't do it, he doesn't think about it, so he quickly put those things aside for the time being and began to concentrate on exercising again.

He practiced martial arts with his uncle every day, and at night he entered the Heavenly Book World Realm to ask Jasmine for advice, and his life was quite fulfilling.

Jasmine is not good at martial arts, but she is an ancient demon, both strength and vision are very powerful, even if you just rely on closing the door to create quite powerful kung fu, if you put it in the mortal world, it must be a character like a martial arts master!

It's a pity that Jasmine really doesn't know how to teach her disciples, and Wu Xie was confused by her teaching, so she had to give up learning directly from this great master with a high level, and instead learn from practice by practicing with her.

However, Jasmine's level is too high, no matter how much she suppresses her strength, Wu Xie is always defeated by one move, and she can't learn at all, it's just a waste of time. After the last moment, Wu Xie had an idea, and asked Jasmine to make some of the exercise equipment she had seen from movies and television in the Heavenly Book World Realm, and use those reliable or unreliable, scientific or unscientific things to practice.

The efficiency of this kind of practice can only be regarded as unsatisfactory, but fortunately, Wu Jie's results in learning martial arts at Du Tuan's practice are quite gratifying, and it only took a month of hard work to learn several sets of martial arts that this uncle learned when he was in the rivers and lakes. Although he is not skilled enough for the time being, let alone the realm of making moves when he moves, he is still far from being a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, but "at least he can escape when he encounters a bandit" - this is Du Tuanlian's original words.

In this month, Wu Jie's biggest gain was not in martial arts, but in physique.

Because he absorbed abundant spiritual energy in the Heavenly Book World Realm every night, coupled with sufficient exercise, his physical fitness had improved significantly in just one month. Not only is it obviously much stronger, but there are also a few more angular pieces of tendon meat on the chest, shoulders and back, and there is also a little more tiger spirit in the action...... Overall, a solid first step has been taken on the road from live-in man to muscular man.

Seeing him grow stronger rapidly, his relatives and friends were both surprised and happy, and his parents, who originally disagreed with him going out to seek immortals, also changed their opinions.

It is absolutely impossible for a normal person to become so strong in a month, and even Du Tuanlian has never heard of this kind of rapid progress. Therefore, the changes in Wu Jie's body are naturally interpreted as "having a relationship with the Immortal Dao" - perhaps it is precisely because of his determination to cultivate immortals that he triggered the "chance" that the immortals once said, right?

Since there is this reason, the attitude of the parents has softened a lot, and after the annual autumn festival, it is the parents who are urging Wu Xie to leave early.

"When the fairy fate comes, you have to grasp it, the immortal won't be waiting for you there all the time!" Parents all over the world hope that their children can have a good life, and becoming an immortal is naturally a very promising thing, so although Wu Xie is not in a hurry, his parents are already busy preparing luggage for him.

Wu Xie couldn't help but laugh, but this kind of change was also what he was happy to see, but when he saw the big bag of luggage that his parents prepared for him, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Daddy, mother! You've prepared too much! With so many things, how can I still travel all over the world? Do you want to ride a donkey? ”

"That's a good idea! Ah Cheng, bring the donkey at home! ”

“…… Do you think the immortals will accept an apprentice who can't endure hardship, goes out with so much luggage, and rides a donkey? ”

Father Wu and Mrs. Wu looked at each other.

In the end, Wu Xie just brought ten taels of scattered silver on the basis of his brother Wu Cheng's usual set of You Fanglang's middle line.

This is enough, when Dr. Wu and Du Tuanlian traveled the world together, the combined net worth of the two brothers was only five taels of silver, in contrast, Wu Xie felt that his preparation was already very sufficient.

According to the current silver price in the Eastern Chu Kingdom, one or two pieces of silver can buy a hundred catties of white rice, and if it is brown rice, it will be even more. Thousands of catties of rice are enough for Wu Xie to eat for a long time, not to mention that he can also practice medicine to make money - according to his father's and brother's experience, as long as he does not encounter additional dangers, it will definitely be enough to wander outside for at least a year and a half.

When Wu Xie was finally leaving, his relatives and friends were naturally reluctant, and Lin Lushan's father and son were still trying to persuade him to change his mind, but Du Ruo's reaction was very strange - this female overlord who was usually fiercer than a tiger and greedy like a wild boar said to Wu Xie mysteriously: "If you can't succeed in seeking immortals, you will come back...... Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, you must come back once within a year after half a year, and your benefits are indispensable......"

Wu Xie didn't know what the so-called "benefits" of Lu Dao Du Ruo were, but seeing that she seemed to have recovered her health, she was no longer as sick and spiritless as she was some time ago, and he couldn't help but be happy for her, so he promised that he would definitely come back - as for the benefits or something, he didn't pay attention to it.

For him, who had already obtained the Heavenly Book World and stepped into the path of cultivating immortals, there were not many benefits in the mortal dust that could make him tempted.

So, on this sunny autumn day, Wu Xie bathed in the warm sunshine and embarked on the road of seeking immortals.
