The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

The morning class was over. The eldest senior brother Zhang Erhe ran to find books about body training for Zeng Wenyu. The third and fourth senior sisters were curious about body training and did not leave. Shen Xuzi was talking about something with the second senior sister in front of the clay sculpture in the middle of the hall. As for Zeng Wenyu, he was sitting on his cushion, thinking about something.

Almost after meal time, Zhang Erhe walked in from outside with three books in his hands. He handed the books to Shen Xuzi first. Shen Xuzi just glanced at the titles of the books, nodded, and threw the books back to Zhang Erhe.

Zhang Erhe took the books back in his hands, walked to Zeng Wenyu, and handed the book in his hand to Zeng Wenyu: "Junior brother, these three books are about body training in our collection. However, the most recent of these three books is about exercises from two hundred years ago. I don't know if the body training methods in them can still be used. It's best to have your second sister or master watching you when you practice, otherwise no one can save you if something goes wrong."

Zeng Wenyu took the three already tattered books from Zhang Erhe: "I understand, Senior Brother, I won't practice these techniques rashly!"

Zhang Erhe nodded and glanced at Li Shengnan and Tian Yitian who were still looking at him curiously in the hall: "Third Junior Sister and Fourth Junior Brother, why don't you go back and practice quickly!"

Hearing Zhang Erhe's serious voice, Li Shengnan and Tian Yitian shrank their necks. Although Li Shengnan was not afraid of Zhang Erhe normally, Zhang Erhe had extremely strict requirements on everyone regarding cultivation, and the progress of cultivation was related to how much cultivation resources they could get from Zhang Erhe next month. After hearing his words, the two could only walk towards the place where they usually practiced.

Zeng Wenyu didn't pay attention to Li Shengnan and Tian Yitian. He looked at the three books in his hands. These three books were already very tattered. Only one book called "Complete Solution to Body Refining" was still intact. The remaining two books not only had no covers, but even the contents recording how to practice were incomplete.

Looking at the three tattered books in his hands, Zeng Wenyu also felt that there had not been anyone practicing body cultivation in this world for a long time, otherwise these books would not be so tattered.

He opened the only intact copy of "The Complete Solution to Body Refining". Fortunately, the language of this world was not much different from the world before he traveled through, and he could still understand the contents of the book. This "The Complete Solution to Body Refining" was not very thick. It recorded in detail how to polish the body in the early stages of body refining, what medicines should be used for medicinal baths and so on. However, the medicines written in this book were hundreds of years old. Zeng Wenyu thought about the situation of the Sui Xin Sect where he was. Let alone hundreds of years old medicines, it was probably a problem whether there were even those that were decades old.

It is not known who wrote this book “Complete Solution to Body Refining”. After reading it from beginning to end, Zeng Wenyu just felt that this person was really brave to write it. According to the author of this book, he compared the Tianyi Continent to a wide river. He said that the true Qi on the Tianyi Continent is the water in this river, and the people living here are the fish swimming in the water. Because they live in a river full of true Qi, their bodies can naturally accommodate this true Qi very easily. But if they go ashore one day, they will be like fish out of water, and will soon die from loss of water.

"That's easy to understand!" Second Senior Sister Mu Qiao's voice suddenly came from behind. Zeng Wenyu was startled by the voice. Just as he was about to turn around, he heard Mu Qiao continue to speak, "The author of this book may seem arrogant, but he does have his own unique insights into cultivation."

Zeng Wenyu looked at Mu Qiao standing behind him with some confusion. Seeing the confusion on Zeng Wenyu's face, Mu Qiao did not explain to him, but just shook his head: "Junior brother, there are some things that you can only know the answer after you practice to a certain level. You haven't even started practicing yet, so don't think about these things."

"Ok."

"According to what is written in this book, without those medicines, the difficulty of body training will increase by more than ten times. Are you mentally prepared?"

"What do you mean by mental preparation? I read in this book that the body polishing is not that difficult. Do you need mental preparation for this?"

"Haha, since you said so, then starting from this afternoon, Senior Sister will give you those not-so-difficult trainings."

Mu Qiao left the hall with a smile on his face that made Zeng Wenyu shudder. After Mu Qiao left the hall, Shen Xuzi also came over. He looked at Zeng Wenyu with a complicated expression, and finally said nothing but patted him on the shoulder. Even Zhang Erhe did the same. This made Zeng Wenyu feel a chill on his back, and he couldn't help but shiver in the hot weather.

Holding the book back to his house, he had no idea what he would experience in the afternoon, but just from the fact that Shen Xuzi and Zhang Erhe patted him on the shoulders when they left, he knew that the days ahead would probably not be easy.

He just sat in his room for a while and it was already afternoon. Looking at the figure standing at his door and knocking, Zeng Wenyu stood up from the bed. He finally made up his mind during this afternoon. Since he had traveled here, how could he not make a name for himself? So no matter how hard the subsequent training would be, he would try his best to persevere.

Mu Qiao brought Zeng Wenyu to the square in front of the main hall. The square, which was empty when they came in the morning, has now changed its appearance. No one knows how Mu Qiao found these things. Anyway, she has found almost all the things required for the initial body polishing in the book "Complete Solution to Body Refining".

Looking at these things in front of him, Zeng Wenyu felt a little regretful again. He suddenly didn't want to practice anymore, but Mu Qiao was standing behind him and looking at him with a smile. Even if he wanted to run away, there was no way he could do it.

"Junior brother, why don't you go in? Oh, by the way, you probably don't know how to use these, so let me help you."

Mu Qiao stretched out his hand and pointed at Zeng Wenyu. Before Zeng Wenyu could react, his body had already involuntarily rushed into the equipment in the square. Before Zeng Wenyu could shout out, only the sound of pain came out of his mouth.

Zeng Wenyu was tortured by Mu Qiao in the square for an entire afternoon. Even when Mu Qiao went to prepare dinner, Zeng Wenyu did not come out of the torture of those equipment. It was not until all the brothers and sisters of Sui Xin Sect sat at the table and prepared to eat that Mu Qiao released Zeng Wenyu. Seeing Zeng Wenyu who had gained two circles of weight in just one afternoon, everyone, including Shen Xuzi, swallowed hard.

As the top expert of the Sui Xin Sect besides Shen Xuzi, Mu Qiao had very sharp ears. After hearing the sound of people swallowing their saliva, she squinted her eyes at the brothers and sisters sitting at the table and said, "Why? Do you want to try it too?"

"Ahem, no, no, well, I'm just hungry, and the food my junior sister cooked is so delicious!"

Even the usually serious Zhang Erhe gave in, let alone the others. Everyone could only look at Zeng Wenyu with sympathy and then use eating to cover up the embarrassment.

Zeng Wenyu, who had gained two sizes of weight in the afternoon, stood beside the table. The pain in his body made it difficult for him to sit down, so he could only stand and reach out to take the bowl of rice on the table. However, Mu Qiao stopped him just as he reached out his hand. Under his puzzled gaze, Mu Qiao waved to the kitchen behind him, and a very large "basin" flew from the kitchen into Mu Qiao's hands.

Mu Qiao opened the lid of the basin, and a rich fragrance wafted out of the basin. In just a few seconds, even the people who were eating at the table were looking at the basin in Mu Qiao's hand. Unfortunately, Mu Qiao did not put the basin on the table. She stuffed the basin to Zeng Wenyu and said, "Junior brother, the initial stage of body training has very high requirements for food. We can't take out those good things from the casual sect. Senior sister can only try to make some suitable food for you. This basin of food must be eaten up within half an hour."

After saying these words, Mu Qiao sat at her seat at the table. She looked at the others who were still staring at the basin in Zeng Wenyu's hand: "Do you want to eat too?"

“I… don’t want to!”

"Master, if you want to eat, I can make it for you. But those things are very nutritious. If you eat them, I'm afraid you will have to go through the body-refining equipment and seal the true energy in your body."
