READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 43 Washing the tendons and cutting the marrow
To temper the jade pulp, refine the skin, and enhance the body.
Cleanse the tendons and cut the marrow, refine the muscles and bones, refine the elixir field, and purify the blood and flesh.
The former had already shown results, resulting in fairer skin, accelerated growth, and greatly improved physical abilities. But compared to the latter, it was nothing in comparison to the profound transformation it promised. Cleansing the tendons and cutting the marrow, defying the natural order, was the true path to rebirth.
Jun Jiu had prepared for a month before she was ready to cleanse her muscles and cut her marrow.
She had dug a new small pond behind the house and ordered Bi Luo to stand guard outside, ready to change the water at any moment.
As boiling water poured into the pool, Jun Jiu added the specially refined decoction for washing the tendons and cutting the marrow. It was tailored to suit her body’s condition, maximizing the effects and achieving the perfect result of cleansing muscles and cutting marrow.
With everything in place, Jun Jiu walked into the pool completely naked, causing ripples to spread across the water’s surface.
“Meow.” Xiao Wu sat by the pool, looking worried as she gazed at Jun Jiu.
“It’s okay, don’t worry. You’ll see me back to normal soon!” Jun Jiu comforted Xiao Wu with a smile while inserting silver needles into her body. “Aren’t you looking forward to me becoming a spiritual master so that you can be outside all the time?”
“Meow! The master is the most important.”
If Jun Jiu weren’t in the soup pool, Xiao Wu would have wanted to go over and be affectionate. Now, with the soup pool between them, Xiao Wu’s round eyes sparkled with determination. “The master is always the most important person in Xiao Wu’s heart!”
“Okay, be good~~” Jun Jiu’s lips curved.
The final silver needle was inserted into her acupuncture point, and Jun Jiu took a deep breath before completely immersing herself in the soup pool. The tea-brown liquid began to ripple and boil rapidly.
The process of washing the tendons and cutting the marrow had begun!
Xiao Wu stared wide-eyed, squatting there earnestly, her cat ears alert to protect Jun Jiu. If anyone dared to intrude, it would scratch their face within minutes!
In the soup pool, Xiao Wu couldn’t see the pain on Jun Jiu’s face.
Washing the tendons and cutting the marrow involved reshaping the bones, and the excruciating pain was difficult to put into words. When it came to refining the tendons, the once short and blocked tendons were forcefully opened, the delicate tendons were torn apart, and the surrounding flesh was torn asunder.
The decoction worked miraculously and swiftly, repairing Jun Jiu’s injuries as they were forcibly broken, making them stronger and more flexible. This allowed her to contain more spiritual power.
From head to toe, there was no part of her body that wasn’t in pain.
Jun Jiu gritted her teeth and endured, with the scent of fresh blood mixing with the strong medicinal aroma in the soup pool.
Xiao Wu observed the red hue emerging on the water’s surface, her cat pupils dilated. Simultaneously, Mo Wuyue opened his eyes. “The smell of blood?”
He appeared in front of Jun Jiu’s door in a flash.
Bi Luo immediately tried to stop him, saying, “You can’t…”
Before Bi Luo could finish her sentence, Mo Wuyue had already disappeared from her sight. She was left bewildered, wondering where he had gone.
Inside the house, by the soup pool.
Xiao Wu, who was initially ready to scratch his face, was plucked up by Mo Wuyue by the back of her neck.
“Meow!” What are you doing? How did you get in here?
Mo Wuyue hesitated, considering that Jun Jiu was fond of Xiao Wu’s appearance. Instead of tossing Xiao Wu out, he held her in his arms. He pinched Xiao Wu gently with two fingers, running his fingers along her back. Xiao Wu froze and dared not move.
Xiao Wu could sense that if Mo Wuyue exerted just a bit more strength, her spine would snap.
Mo Wuyue’s attention was entirely fixed on the soup pool. The dark brown water did little to obstruct his view. Across the water, he could clearly see Jun Jiu’s condition. His brows furrowed, and the aura of malevolence surrounding his body was formidable.
“Washing the tendons and cutting the marrow? What nonsense,” he muttered.
“Meow!” What do you know? Master is the Holy Hand Jun Jiu, far more powerful than all of you!
Although Jun Jiu was here, Mo Wuyue refrained from intervening rashly. He gazed at Jun Jiu with deep, contemplative eyes and began forming layers of defensive and protective formations in the room.
