Chapter 59
Zhongli slept very sweetly that night, and he didn't get up from bed until the sun was noon.
He greeted Ling Xi and Xiu Qi, came to the main hall, and saw that his father and mother were sitting in the main hall.
The mother smiled and talked to her father, and she was in a very good mood.
"Li'er, get up." Zhong Yun smiled and greeted him when he saw Zhongli coming in.
After saying hello to his parents, Zhongli sat on the chair.
"Li'er, now that his body has been healed, it's time to prepare for his practice. After all, only with cultivation can one have the capital to gain a foothold in the country." Zhong Yun looked at his refreshed son in front of him, and was very pleased. Compared with his thin and pale appearance, his son is now completely different.
Gu Xia also looked at Zhongli with a smile. Her son's illness was cured. She, the mother, was so happy.
"The child is also thinking this way," said Zhongli. "The child plans to take some natural treasures first to strengthen his physique."
Zhong Yun stroked his beard and pondered: "By this method, the progress will probably be very slow. It is easy to say about spiritual medicines. I am afraid that the Taoist rule you finally understand will not be too strong."
Zhongli smiled and said, "Don't worry, Father, it will be a great gift for the sacrifice to heaven in a while. If we can go there, I can go to the various caves and blessed places in Mount Tai to try my luck. If it doesn't work, I will come back and continue to work hard to survive."
Zhong Yun waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, there must be our family who accompany His Majesty to participate in the ceremony of worshiping the sky! But when you get there, the wrestling competition is a problem..."
Speaking of this, Zhong Yun was a little worried.
There are young geniuses from all over the Chuzhou countries gathered there, but they are not like children from these officials in the capital fighting and making fun.
Zhongli was open-minded and said calmly: "Strictly speaking, the child has just started practicing and his foundation is indeed much worse. Even if the child loses, it doesn't matter the overall situation. In our country of Ci, there are always other young talents."
Zhong Yun nodded, but still had some worries: "At the birthday party of Your Majesty, we have completely had a quarrel with the prince. If there is a problem with the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, we will inevitably be criticized by the prince."
Zhongli smiled and comforted: "My father is the right prime minister of the court, and now His Majesty is still hesitant about the establishment of a crown prince. Why worry about these things? We may not have no chance of winning."
Zhong Yun nodded and agreed with Zhongli's words.
"Okay, you haven't eaten yet, right? Go and have breakfast soon. I'll arrange someone to give you spiritual medicine later. It's not far from the gift of offering sacrifices to the sky. Make some preparations early and lay a solid foundation!" Zhong Yun reminded.
Zhongli saluted, bid farewell to his parents, and came out to find Lu Yuan.
Seeing Zhongli's rosy face, his original morbidity disappeared, Lu Yuan was overjoyed.
"Young Master, you've finally been cured!"
Zhongli smiled and said, "Lu Yuan, I have to ask you for help to help me catalyze the power of the spiritual medicine and nourish my body."
Lu Yuan patted his chest and agreed happily that this was what he should do.
The two of them came to Zhongli's room, and all kinds of spiritual medicines had been taken by the servants and placed on the table.
Zhongli instructed Lu Yuan to lock the door. Ling Xi and the others might not come to their room when they think about it. They had to take off their coats when they were tired of it. They were somewhat embarrassed to see it.
Lu Yuan first took a marrow-cleaning pill. Now Zhongli's body is no longer a problem. He first needs to remove impurities in his body, purify his body, and facilitate the strengthening of his understanding of Taoist qi.
Zhongli sat cross-legged on the bed and took the marrow-cleaning pill handed over by Lu Yuan.
At the entrance of the elixir, a stream of cold liquid instantly turned into Zhongli's body.
Lu Yuan put one palm on Zhongli's back, circulating the Taoist force to help Zhongli catalyze the medicinal force.
Zhongli only felt a wisp of cold breath wandering inside his body, walking along every inch of his flesh and blood.
Wherever the breath passes, black substances seep through the skin, mixed with a fishy smell.
Soon, Zhongli's body was almost covered with black substances, and the medicinal power of the marrow washing pill was also exhausted under the urging of Lu Yuan.
Zhongli felt the airflow in his body disappear, and opened his eyes from the meditation state. When he saw himself, he was startled.
"Haha, young master, don't be anxious. This is a normal phenomenon. Everyone will go through this step before practicing," Lu Yuan said with a chuckling, opening the door at the same time, and two servants outside came in carrying a bathtub.
Lu Yuan arranged for the servant to burn hot water early to give Zhongli a bath.
Zhongli jumped into the bathtub, washed away the stains on his body, and put on his clothes.
Looking at his body again, Zhongli found that he seemed to be a little thinner than before, but he was stronger than before, and his whole body was full of strength.
At the same time, it also feels more refreshing, and it seems that it has removed a lot of burden.
"It turns out that there are so many impurities in the body..." Zhong Li thought that after taking the marrow washing pill, the light and free feeling made Zhong Li feel comfortable all over.
"What should I do next?" Zhongli turned around and asked Lu Yuan.
"Hehe, the young master is afraid he will suffer some trouble next." Lu Yuan said with a wicked smile.
Zhongli was stunned for a moment, what was the hardship?
Lu Yuan picked up a jade bottle and poured out a fiery red pill.
"Although the young master cured the disease and strengthened his body a lot, his foundation was weak and he still needed the foundation building pill to lay a solid foundation. The effect of taking the body-strengthening pills will be better afterwards." Lu Yuan explained.
Zhong Li nodded and looked at Lu Yuan's expression. I'm afraid it would be a little painful if I continue to take the Foundation Establishment Pill, but it doesn't matter. I have survived all these diseases for so many years.
"Let's start." Zhongli said, took the red pill from Lu Yuan's hand and took it.
As soon as the pill was in his mouth, a hot potency melted in Zhongli's mouth and quickly flowed into Zhongli's limbs and bones.
Zhongli felt as if the flesh and blood in his body were about to burn, and he was in great pain. He forced himself to make no sound and gritted his teeth.
Lu Yuan's palm was pressed behind Zhongli to help Zhongli catalyze the medicinal power.
The heat in the body became higher and higher, and Zhongli was sweating profusely all over his body.
Every inch of flesh and blood in the body seemed to be melted by this burning medicinal force and then reorganized. Even the Taoist power in the body seemed to be vaguely ignited by this heat force.
Sweat all over his body, and Zhongli felt as if he was about to be dehydrated. Fortunately, after a period of time, the heat in his body was slowly fading away and the pain was no longer so strong.
Lu Yuan sat behind Zhongli, and saw Zhongli's body losing weight but stronger, nodded slightly. This effect was pretty good.
It took two hours to completely digest the medicinal power.
At this moment, Zhongli was soaked all over. Compared to before, he lost weight again, but his skin was even more shiny, even whiter than that of a woman.
Zhongli looked inside and the muscles in his body became closer, and his every move was full of strength. It seemed that he could break the wall in front of him with a random punch.
The Taoist power in the body is less than 10%, but it is more concise than before.
After realizing the state of the body, Zhongli's heart is happy. Now his foundation is basically consolidated. He only needs to take heavenly treasures to strengthen his body, and perhaps he can directly understand the principles of Tao.
At this point, Zhongli was not in a hurry and slowly adjusted his body, waiting to participate in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.
"Young Master is such a good foundation!" Lu Yuan praised. The effect of Zhongli taking marrow washing pill and foundation building pill was much better than that of ordinary people. His physical fitness improved greatly. Perhaps this was related to Zhongli's previous weak body. After healing the disease, the improvement was much greater than that of ordinary people.
