Le Mu’lan said with great interest, “Which kind of potion do you want? Body tempering or mana enhancement? I can drink more before I come next time.”

Zhang Yu looked at her strangely and asked, “What are you trying to do?”

Le Mu’lan thought to herself, “I just want to see if you can resist drinking my sweat.”

Recalling that he had refused 400,000 during the martial arts competition.

Le Mu’lan felt that if she voiced her curiosity, he might directly refuse.

So, she decided to secretly increase the value of the potion, wanting to see if Zhang Yu would eventually change his mind and… drink it.

The thought flashed through her mind, and Le Mu’lan continued, “Your service is good, so it’s just a small favor for me. I don’t mind helping you out.”

Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, “I’m focusing on body tempering recently.”

Le Mu’lan nodded, “Understood. Before I come next time, I’ll inject myself with ten doses of Bone-Muscle Enhancement Elixir.”

“This is originally a body-tempering medicine that only cultivators in the late Qi Refining stage can inject, but it’s just right for me with my super metabolism. You can even use it after I metabolize it.”

“Bone-Muscle Enhancement Elixir can effectively increase bone density, improve the repair efficiency of muscle fibers, and enhance the absorption of spiritual energy and nutrients.”

“Each dose costs 10,000 yuan.”

“Oral consumption is more effective than topical application.”

Seeing his stunned expression, Le Mu’lan smiled slightly. She suddenly had more anticipation for the next training session.

She wanted to know if Zhang Yu would drink the potion next time.

Opening the door and seeing Bai Zhenzhen already waiting outside, Le Mu’lan nodded and turned to leave.

As soon as Bai Zhenzhen entered the room, she looked at the water stains on the floor.

Zhang Yu, seeing Bai Zhenzhen starting to lick her lips, rolled his eyes and said, “Zhenzhen, you can’t lick that!”

Bai Zhenzhen said with a face full of regret, “What a waste, Yu-zi! This medicine smells like high-end stuff. It’s worth a lot of money. One lick is worth at least several dozen yuan, right?”

“You can’t get carried away just because you’ve earned some money. You need to be frugal! We’re still poor.”

Zhang Yu advised, “We can’t do anything for money.”

Bai Zhenzhen didn’t care, “Money can buy anything. What can’t we do for money?”

Zhang Yu was speechless because in Kunxu, money could indeed buy anything.

He could only change his approach, “Zhenzhen, standards are lowered step by step. Now, we’re willing to lick the sweat of rich people to save some money. Will we become the dogs of rich people in the future?”

“Remember when you advised me not to gamble during the Law Competition? It’s the same thing. One step back, and you’ll retreat step by step.”

As he spoke, Zhang Yu showed the potion on his body, which was still exuding a strange fragrance, and said, “If you really want to try it, just rub it on the floor or on my body.”

“Alright,” Bai Zhenzhen nodded. “What you said makes sense. Then I’ll rub it on your body.”

Bai Zhenzhen touched Zhang Yu’s arm with her hand, then smeared the potion on herself.

Zhang Yu pointed to the bag on the ground, telling Bai Zhenzhen that these were the medicines he bought from Le Mu’lan, who had brought them over today.

Then, Zhang Yu swallowed one of the Primordial Yuan Pills in one gulp, feeling the medicinal power of 24,000 yuan integrating into his body.

Zhang Yu said, “I need to seize the time to temper my body while the medicinal effect is still active. Zhenzhen, lend me your True Spiritual Root for a while.”

“Okay.”

Bai Zhenzhen nodded, pressed close to Zhang Yu from behind.

While smelling the medicinal fragrance emanating from his body and trying to rub as much of the potion on herself as possible, she sent the spiritual root into Zhang Yu’s body.

On the other side, Zhang Yu was immersed in the cultivation of the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Yuan Qi.

First, the potion rubbed from Le Mu’lan’s body continuously integrated into his body, helping Zhang Yu recover his strength and energy, enhancing the effect of his training.

Then, the medicinal power of the Primordial Yuan Pill spread into his limbs and bones, enhancing the strength of Zhang Yu’s flesh and bones with the circulation of the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Yuan Qi.

Next was the operation of the Great Sun Qi Sea, constantly accelerating Zhang Yu’s metabolism, accelerating Zhang Yu’s absorption of the medicine, and accelerating the transformation of Zhang Yu’s flesh.

After Zhang Yu further smoothed his thoughts and reduced his mental consumption with the Crippled Ox Abandoning Body Mind Technique, the metabolism in his body was further accelerated.

Finally, there was the True Spiritual Root constantly breathing in and out of spiritual energy, assisting the cultivation of Scarlet Marrow Primordial Yuan Qi, while nourishing Zhang Yu’s flesh, bones, and nerves drop by drop…

With layers of enhancement, Zhang Yu’s physical strength was being driven crazily.

At this moment, he didn’t think about anything, didn’t think about anything, just circulating the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Yuan Qi again and again, feeling his physical strength continuously improving, feeling his body becoming stronger and stronger.

Inside Purple Cloud High School.

Several students looked at the faint bruises on Le Mu’lan’s wrist, and said with envy, “Has the holy First in the grade gone for another practical training session?”

Another student said jealously, “To be the holy First’s sparring partner… and even leave marks on her body, such a beautiful thing, I don’t even dare to think about it.”

Not far away, Lian Tianji listened to the words of several people, showing a hint of disdain on his face, secretly thinking, “A group of gutless guys.”

“What’s there to be afraid to think about?”

The next day.

There was no Le Mu’lan’s sparring that day.

So, one could see in the room, Bai Zhenzhen took out a row of needles, operating her mana within, and then her hands brought up a series of afterimages, already stabbing one by one into Zhang Yu’s body in various parts.

It was precisely the Nine Dragons Needle Technique that Bai Zhenzhen learned from the competition team.

In order to obtain the Foundation Establishment Certificate, and to further enhance his physical strength, Zhang Yu finally chose to take medicine.

Of course, this was also because his internal organs were becoming stronger, and the medicine toxins accumulated in his body had also been expelled through the cultivation of the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Yuan Qi.

So Zhang Yu decided to try taking medicine, and would stop if his body felt uncomfortable.

The medicine was purchased from the channel introduced by Le Mu’lan at an 80% discount, costing 10,500, but it was cheaper than the price on the competition team’s side.

After all, after Bai Zhenzhen’s comparison, the cheapest medicine under the welfare of the competition team was only a 90% discount, and the more expensive ones were only a 9.8 discount, far less cost-effective than Le Mu’lan’s side.

Speaking of which, Zhang Yu still remembered a benefit from the competition team. After winning first place in the physical competition, he would receive a subsidy of 20,000 yuan for purchasing a body tempering cultivation technique.

It was just that Zhang Yu had no plans to change his body tempering cultivation technique for the time being, and he decided to claim this subsidy later when he changed his technique.

At this moment, each needle was stabbed by Bai Zhenzhen according to different rhythms and acupoints, and then supplemented by mana vibration, driving the medicinal power into the depths of Zhang Yu’s muscles and bones.

After such a set of Nine Dragons Needle Technique was completed, Zhang Yu felt the 10,500 yuan of medicine fees being pushed into his flesh and blood, crazily nourishing his body.

At the same time, accompanied by the surging of qi and blood, Zhang Yu also felt his body become more sensitive, able to more accurately perceive his body.

While Bai Zhenzhen completed the Nine Dragons Needle Technique, she hugged Zhang Yu from behind, intending to send the spiritual root over.

Who knew that as soon as she hugged him, Zhang Yu suddenly bent over, which made Bai Zhenzhen look puzzled.

Because at the moment Bai Zhenzhen hugged him, Zhang Yu suddenly felt a special touch.

He was shocked, wondering if it was because Zhenzhen was wearing less today.

Then he realized…

“No, it’s because I’m wearing less.”

At this moment, Zhang Yu didn’t wear a shirt at all for easy injections.

Zhang Yu could feel that Bai Zhenzhen, wearing only a T-shirt, was pressing tightly against him.

The barrier of only a thin layer of clothing could not block Zhang Yu’s perception of the power of Bai Zhenzhen’s embrace.

Every point of force, every point of contact, even allowed him to perfectly construct the outline of her body pressed against him in his mind.

The pressure from the abdomen, small belly, slender arms, and other places…

Especially with Zhang Yu’s bending over, the rubbing between the two… made him feel itchy.

Zhang Yu finally realized that this was the sensitivity brought by the Nine Dragons Needle Technique.

“Damn it, no wonder they want to cut the root, how can I cultivate with such sensitivity?”

At this moment, Zhang Yu had become a firm supporter of Songyang High School’s policy.

Of course, he didn’t need it himself, because he had the strong will and extreme self-discipline to overcome the distractions in his heart.

For example, at this moment, he could righteously say, “Zhenzhen, come down quickly after sending the spiritual root, you’re disturbing my training.”

Bai Zhenzhen sent the spiritual root into Zhang Yu’s body and asked curiously, “Why are you always bending over?”

Suddenly, she understood and looked at Zhang Yu with a look of contempt, “Look at you, I told you to cut the root a long time ago, but you insisted on keeping it. If you can’t get the Foundation Establishment Certificate in the future, it’s all this root’s fault.”

Zhang Yu waved his hand and said, “It’s okay, I have supreme will, a little distraction is not worth spending money to suppress.”

After speaking, he had already activated the Crippled Ox Abandoning Body Mind Technique, feeling like he had turned into a severely disabled ox, bravely moving forward in a muddy swamp.

After a moment, Zhang Yu exhaled a long breath, feeling the medicinal power boiling all over his body, and immediately seized the time to practice the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Yuan Qi.

In this way, if Le Mu’lan was around, he would rub Le Mu’lan’s potion. If Le Mu’lan wasn’t around, he would let Bai Zhenzhen perform the Nine Dragons Needle Technique.

Under the alternate parallel of the two methods, Zhang Yu felt his physical strength increasing rapidly every day.

Bai Zhenzhen also gained a lot of benefits in this process, such as rubbing secondhand potion and buying cheap body tempering potions.

Especially with the rotation of the True Spiritual Root, every time the spiritual root re-entered her body, Bai Zhenzhen felt a burning sensation coming from her body.

That was the True Spiritual Root constantly adapting to Zhang Yu, gradually beginning to have the ability to swallow and spit out the essence of the sun and moon, allowing Bai Zhenzhen to also absorb spiritual energy from the light.

Unknowingly, more and more spotlights purchased by Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were added to the rented small apartment, illuminating the entire room every night, allowing the Great Sun Qi Sea and the True Spiritual Root to swallow more spiritual energy from them.

Time passed in the blink of an eye to early May.

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen also gradually realized that if they wanted to reach their goal in August, the progress of mana and Dao Heart was not fast enough.

So, on this day, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen came to a protected area 90 kilometers away from the center of Songyang City, because they had agreed with Xiong Wenwu to meet here to discuss the spiritual vein.
