Cultivation Begins
Hua Tuo was not actually asleep. His consciousness had touched the ring and found himself in a gray space. There was a small courtyard, three thatched huts, and a bamboo fence. The courtyard was about ten feet long and eight feet wide. In the middle of the courtyard, there was a five-foot-tall unknown tree that was half dead. Beside it was a stone pond, rectangular in shape, four feet wide and five feet long. A small amount of spring water was almost dried up. Pushing open the door, there were two chairs and a carved square table in the main hall. They were all in the style of the Zhou Dynasty. The wood was unfamiliar and painted black and red. It was not damaged at all. In the middle was a portrait of a black and white person. It was lifelike and looked like an immortal. There were three books on the table. They weren't made of paper, but seemed to be some kind of silk. Next to it were the Four Treasures of the Study, which were very precious. Even Hua Tuo had never seen such precious Four Treasures of the Study in the Han Dynasty. Hua Tuo could roughly guess the meaning of the six pictographic ancient characters in the first book. Flipping it open, there were words, images of people, meridian curves, and spells at each stage. The second book only had two words: " Elixir Scripture ". The third book was about all kinds of array formations called Array Formation General Secrets. All the books were about the same person, Qing Xuzi. He wondered which Great Immortal Qing Xuzi was and which dynasty he was from.
The room on the west seemed to be a training room. There was a single green jade bed that was emitting traces of cold air and a white jade pillow. There were two large cabinets, one of which was a bookcase. There were silk cotton, bamboo slips, animal bones, jade cards, and so on. The other room contained daily necessities, clothes, zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, as well as a tea set and wine set.
The one on the east seemed to be a pill refining room. There were more than ten pill furnaces of different sizes. Some were big and some were small. The big one was more than two meters tall and had a diameter of more than one meter. The smaller one was only a little more than two feet. There was a medicine cabinet beside him. Some of the medicine had lost their spirituality, and some had turned into dust. The other small cabinet was filled with medicinal pills. There were more than a hundred jars of various sizes. Most of them were made of jade, but there were also some made of wood. There were very few metals.
Hua Tuo spent more than half an hour browsing through the ring and quickly exited it. He opened his eyes and looked around the house. It was very poor and shabby. The old couple was still cooking. He checked his body and found that the wounds on his head, neck, and limbs had healed. However, his left calf was splined, and the fracture was a little dislocated, but it was stuck. Feeling a little thirsty, he got up and realized that he was only wearing a pair of underpants. His pants and shirt were gone. She was about to get out of bed when the old lady came to get her things. He immediately stopped Hua Tuo from moving and asked him what he was doing. He said he wanted water. The old lady poured him a bowl of hot water. She said that the meal would be ready soon and went out.
Ten minutes later, the old woman came in and placed a small table on the bed. Hua Tuo put on an old man's clothes and sat up. The old couple brought a large pot of cabbage stewed with bacon. There were many vermicelli, dried tofu, and wild vegetables inside, but there was very little meat. The main course was steamed bread and three bowls of millet porridge. The three of them began to eat. The old couple gave Hua Tuo what little bacon they had. They only ate cabbage, wild vegetables, and dried tofu. Hua Tuo was a little embarrassed to eat it. He ate one steamed bun, and when he was about to take the second one, the old man blocked his hand and said,"
"Don't eat so much dry food for the first time. You haven't eaten normally for almost a month. You have to take it slow. If you eat too much, your stomach won't be able to take it. If you're hungry, you can have some porridge first."
"Thank you, sir. I'm young and ignorant. Thank you for your reminder. I'll drink this bowl of porridge and eat it next time.”
By the time the three of them finished their meal, it was already noon. The old couple let Hua Tuo rest while they went to work in the fields. Hua Tuo took out the Taoist scripture and read it carefully. He had lived in the Han Dynasty for more than 60 years and had practiced many martial arts. He had also invented the body-building exercise of the Five Animal Frolics. Therefore, he had a deeper understanding of the contents of the book than others and learned it quickly. After an hour, he had basically mastered the cultivation method of Qi cultivation. He began to meditate. In less than half an hour, he felt the Qi and began to circulate it. After practicing for more than an hour, he felt that the spiritual energy was insufficient. By right, the climate and air in the modern era were not as good as in ancient times, and the spiritual energy was even thinner. It shouldn't be so fast. The reason was that Hua Tuo himself had a foundation in Qigong. In the Han Dynasty, even if he was not very powerful, at least his internal energy had reached the Xiantian level. In addition, he was a famous doctor and was very familiar with meridians and acupoints. It was just that this body did not have any internal energy, so it was relatively slow. Qigong itself had many similarities with cultivation. It was just that the circulation path was different. The other Qigong was the acquired will, a fake Dan that originated from the inside. It was an illusory thing that relied on opening up the meridians to increase one's strength. Cultivation was an innate consciousness that operated by absorbing spiritual energy to form vital qi. It was a real qi that came from the outside and had a certain color. Hua Tuo opened the book on pills and found a kind of elementary Qi Gathering Pill, which was very effective in gathering spiritual energy. He immediately searched the alchemy room for medicinal pills that could be used. In the end, he did not find any elementary qi gathering pills. Instead, he found a bottle of advanced qi gathering pills. There were twelve pills inside. Hua Tuo opened them and smelled them. They had lost most of their efficacy, but they could still be used. Normally, Hua Tuo's current condition was not suitable for taking a high-grade Chi-amassing Pill. If the medicinal effect had not been lost, at this stage, once he took a high-grade Chi-amassing Pill, he would definitely explode and die. However, the danger was still very high. Fortunately, this cultivation technique was very high-grade. Hua Tuo also had a foundation in Qigong, so he had already completed the minor circulation. Therefore, after Hua Tuo took it, the surging spiritual energy almost made Hua Tuo burst. He desperately circulated his cultivation method, and the breakthrough was almost like breaking bamboo. The first and second levels of Qi Cultivation were still far from enough. The spiritual energy was turbulent. Soon, he reached the third and fourth levels, and then he felt that the swelling of his skin was a little better. Hua Tuo didn't dare to stop. He continued to guide the spiritual energy with all his might. After breaking through the fifth level, he finally slowed down. It was only when he reached the peak of Level-5 that there was no more excess spiritual energy. It was already impossible to break through again. After another half an hour, Hua Tuo stopped practicing. It was already past five in the afternoon. Originally, he had a fracture in his left calf, which was a little deformed due to poor positioning. In the end, he reached the fifth level of Qi Refinement. It automatically corrected the deformities and remodeled the bones, healing itself. The scar on his head also disappeared automatically. His weak body turned pale, his lips red, and his eyes bright. His thin body became less thin. However, his skin was covered in dirt, and his entire body was smelly. The entire white bedsheet had turned gray. Hua Tuo immediately came down and used the tap water in the yard to wash his body. After washing for more than ten minutes, he was still not clean. He pulled off the bedsheet and soaked it in a large basin. He put a lot of washing powder in it and washed it several times, but it was still gray. It was summer, and the cold water was not cold. However, because Hua Tuo had taken a high-grade Qi-gathering Pill, there were many spiritual medicines in it. Although the effect was not half of the original, it still had the effect of cleansing the hair and marrow. Cold water couldn't wash it clean. Hua Tuo was prepared to let the old man take him for a bath at night. This was the old couple returning from work. She was shocked to see Hua Tuo bathing naked in the yard. The aunt hurried over and pulled Hua Tuo back."
"Child, why aren't you obedient? You've just recovered a little and you're taking a cold shower. Aren't you afraid that your condition will worsen if you catch a cold?”
"Auntie, don't be afraid. I'm a doctor and a martial arts master. In the afternoon, I recovered my strength and my illness was completely cured. Even his bones had healed. If you don't believe me, look, the scar on my head is gone. Look, my legs have also grown back.”
"You're really impressive. Tell me, when have you ever seen such amazing medical skills? Only immortals can do it." Sir System asked curiously.
Hua Tuo was afraid that the old couple would not let go of this matter, so he quickly changed the topic.
"Grandpa, is there a place to take a bath here? My body is too dirty, so I need to take a bath. The bedsheets are useless. I'll order a bomb to buy you a new one.”
"Yes, there's a sauna at the east end of the village where you can take a bath.”The old couple looked at the bed. The bedsheets and quilts were stained, and the room was filled with a foul smell.
"How did this happen? Why is it so smelly?”
"I'm sorry, auntie, uncle. This was caused by my power. Otherwise, how could it have healed so quickly? Although the damage caused by the quick recovery was quite large.”
"It's okay, child. As long as you're well, it's fine. It's just a little smell.”
The old couple opened the door and windows for ventilation and took the bedding out to dry outside. First Master brought Hua Tuo to take a bath. The aunt started to prepare dinner.
