Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Cultivation is addictive!

Especially in the early stages, Master Hu firmly believed that no one could resist the temptation of cultivation.

Look, they had just barely gotten used to the first movement and the corresponding breathing rhythm, and the four of them couldn't stop.

This madness became more intense after they ate the medicinal food and practiced the first movement several times on the spot according to Master Hu's requirements.

After running to the toilet and taking a thorough bath, the four of them reappeared in front of Master Hu, looking at him with shining eyes.

Master Hu glanced at Empress Ma, who had obviously lost weight in the waist and abdomen and whose facial skin had become much whiter, then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who had also become stronger, and nodded silently.

"Well, it seems that you have all experienced the benefits of cultivation!"

"Then just practice slowly from now on. The initial effect is the most obvious, and after that it will be a matter of patience and hard work."

"Since we have this opportunity, we must not slack off."

When Master Hu saw everyone's surprised expressions, he kindly gave them some advice.

Everyone agreed with it.

Why does Mr. Hu think that cultivation is addictive?

The current situation is the best explanation.

Most people have never experienced such a significant change in physical fitness in a short period of time, and the feeling of everything changing for the better.

Mr. Hu believed that he could not help feeling that way.

Now it seems that other people can’t help it either.

It seems normal from this perspective.

As for Mr. Hu, he knew the problem here too well.

If it is other kinds of practice, such as Taoist meditation, health-preserving exercises, or alchemists' elixirs, then you will definitely not feel any specific changes from day to night.

But the practice given by Master Hu is different. The results are immediate.

So, with such obvious changes before their eyes, how could people hold back?

Especially Empress Ma and Anqing, as women, they all wanted to stay young forever.

The obsession with this aspect even exceeds the pursuit of longevity.

Obviously, for them, everything else can be put aside for now, but cultivation is the only thing they need to focus on!

At this point, Mr. Hu was in bad luck.

For five whole days, the four of them worked one after another, day and night.

In other words, the cultivation method given by the system is really simple enough. As long as there is enough energy in the body, it can be converted into enough Qi to strengthen the body.

Otherwise, if they really followed the routines in fantasy novels, each of these four people would be an obsessed player.

And now, in addition to Master Hu repeatedly emphasizing that one must not be distracted or disturbed during cultivation, and must not disrupt the rhythm.

The biggest problem is still consumption.

Damn it, Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma were the emperor and the empress respectively, and they were definitely the most noble people in the world.

But these two people actually have the nerve to keep getting free stuff in Hujiazhuang!

You know, this medicinal meal is really not cheap nowadays. The cost of the raw materials is at least dozens of taels of silver.

That’s not even counting the money and labor spent on other auxiliary materials.

As a result, these two people gave orders to the kitchen so freely that they didn't even have the slightest awareness that they were guests.

The final result was that the Hu family's originally full inventory of medicinal materials had run out.

It’s not that the Hu family has no reserves of medicinal materials at all.

Rather, what's left are almost all medicinal herbs used for "treating diseases and injuries".

It has nothing to do with any nourishing or invigorating effects.

All the medicinal herbs that could replenish qi and blood went into the stomachs of the five people.

Then Master Hu couldn't help it anymore. He went straight to find Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma, who had obviously looked more than ten years younger and their bodies had shrunk three times in the past five days, and seemed to have regained their youth.

"You two, there is something I need to tell you!"

"Hey, Weiyong, you're here. That's great. Come and take a look. I feel like the two moves I just practiced don't seem right. I don't even dare to practice any more..."

"Then don't practice for now. It's just right that you really need to stop now!"

When Master Hu heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said, he was delighted and immediately told them the bad news with a serious face. When the news came out, the two were dumbfounded.

They were training very hard at the moment, but when Master Hu arrived, he gave them such news. How could they tolerate this?

"Weiyong, what's wrong?"

"Are you regretting this?"

"You don't care about the relationship between us?"

Hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang blurted out, Master Hu felt a chill in his heart.

Damn it, this Old Zhu is really a dog that can never be tamed.

Master Hu walked straight up to Zhu Yuanzhang, looked him straight in the eyes, and spoke word by word.

"Zhu Yuanzhang, I didn't ask you for anything, nor did I ask you for anything. I just gave you this thing that every emperor in history would never get until his death. Did I make a mistake?"

"If you have the guts, stop practicing from now on, and let's not talk about any affection."

"Now that you've said it, there's no affection between us!"

"Now, you can go back to your palace. All the medicinal herbs in my house have been eaten up. They are gone!"

"No delivery!"

After saying this, Master Hu turned around and left, completely ignoring Empress Ma's anxious calls behind him.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at all this in a daze, completely dumbfounded.

He turned to look at Queen Ma and asked with a confused look on his face.

"What does he mean?"

"How dare he call me Laozi in front of me?"

"Did he call my name?"

When Empress Ma heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said, she was so annoyed that she twisted his waist hard.

It was not until she heard Zhu Yuanzhang scream out in pain that Empress Ma came up to him and scolded him angrily.

"Zhu Chongba, what were you thinking about just now?"

"How could you say something like that?"

"How on earth did Weiyong let you down?"

"What he just said is not wrong. He is kind enough to share this incredible wealth with you. Do you still doubt him?"

"You are not a typical ungrateful person!"

"how?"

"If you become an emperor, all the benefits of the world will be given to you?"

"You have completely torn the friendship between the two families apart!"

Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang come to his senses from the angry outburst from Master Hu.

Then came waves of rage.

"What's wrong?"

"Are you still on his side?"

"Why don't we ask him what's wrong with this?"

"Who knows if he has something to hide?"

"Let's ask him, is there anything wrong?"

Queen Ma looked at him deeply.

"Chongba, you have been the emperor for so long that you no longer regard yourself as a mortal, but as a god."

"You think that even if a person is mediocre and has hidden something, what does it matter?"

"Just tell me, is it useful to just teach us this cultivation technique?"
