Chapter 5, Religious Repository

Lin Xi was aware of his own condition and continued to accelerate his practice of boxing. The entire room was filled with the explosive sound of his joints cracking. Gradually, the black liquid seeping from Lin Xi's body became more and more abundant, increasingly viscous. The foul odor was so strong that even Lin Xi found it nauseating

This is the purpose of medicinal baths for body refinement

"Good people are often taken advantage of, and good horses are often ridden. What belongs to me cannot be taken away by anyone"

Alright, that's it

Reishi mushrooms, ginseng, astragalus, fo-ti, moon vine... all of them must be taken away. Leaving them here is simply a waste of natural resources

After returning from the Zongku, Lin Xi remained in his room, silently refining elixirs. By the night of the following day, Lin Xi finally succeeded in refining the first batch of elixirs in this world.

His martial arts skills are lacking in one aspect, but in another aspect, it is precisely his simplicity and willingness to yield that have led the members of the Wulei Sect to look down upon him

Therefore, temporarily utilizing medicinal baths to enhance one's strength has become the best choice

Lin Xi is confident that if these medicinal herbs are utilized to refine elixirs, not only can they eliminate toxins from the body, but they can also, in a short period, further restore the powers of his previous life

... ...

With a swift motion of the broadsword, a guard from the clan's treasury immediately blocked Lin Xi's path. His gaze was sharp and unyielding.

This is the "Bengjin" of "Xiaotiangang," used by Lin Xi to eliminate the venom from his body

Lin Xi picked up a detoxification pill, feeling a sense of relief. Although it was his first time refining it, he was already well-versed in the various characteristics of a successful refinement. Without a doubt, this was the detoxification pill.

Stop! This is a restricted area of the Zongku. Unauthorized entry is strictly prohibited

Lin Xi clenched his fist, extending it freely, and a series of cracking sounds immediately emanated from his joints, showcasing remarkable agility. Due to his physical limitations, he was unable to execute many of the martial arts techniques. However, the situation was different now; he was able to employ some advanced techniques of energy release.

Military force determines everything. It seems that not taking oneself seriously as the young master is also not acceptable

This is the ancestral repository of the Five Thunder Sect. Many medicinal herbs, elixirs, and treasures are stored here. This place is a forbidden area, and ordinary disciples are prohibited from entering. Only the elders and the young master are allowed to enter

When did he acquire such abilities to provoke the Holy Maiden of the Blazing Sun and still emerge unscathed

As soon as Lin Xi had just disappeared, the guard at the door broke free from his arm, his face filled with anger

The main door opened, and two disciples from the body refining chamber entered, pushing a half-person-high wooden barrel. The barrel was steaming and filled with hot water

If it were not for the limited items she could carry, Lin Xi would indeed want to take the entire sect's treasury with her

The frenzied roar of the Holy Maiden of the Blazing Sun was heard by many. Everyone instinctively thought that Lin Xi was seeking his own suffering, but in the end, not only did he emerge unscathed, but it seemed that the one who suffered was the Holy Maiden of the Blazing Sun.

... ...

Do not overthink it. It's just a waste, how could it be possible? You must have misheard.

Lin Xi directly found several burlap sacks, carefully selecting the best medicinal herbs to fill them. She also scavenged a few bottles of healing elixirs, and finally, deep within the mountain's interior, she took away a small purple alchemical cauldron, leaving with a sense of satisfaction.

Upon exiting the small palace of the Holy Maiden of the Blazing Sun, Lin Xi distinctly felt a change in the gazes of the disciples of the Five Thunder Sect towards him, marked by a hint of astonishment and a touch of fear

Upon reaching the back mountain, one could see a massive stone cave carved into the mountainside. The entrance featured two heavy iron doors, studded with copper rivets. It strikingly resembled a grand hall.

His identity is known to everyone within the Five Thunder Sect. The rules of the sect are such that these two guards cannot possibly be unaware of them, yet they still obstruct him, clearly indicating a deliberate act of harassment

The medicinal properties are being released, and the toxicity is beginning to dissipate

Brother Li, what do you mean? 2 https://www.hetushu.com The elders have long instructed that no one can enter here except for the elders. Especially not Lin Xi

On the left side of the main gate, the other guard, who had remained silent all along, bent at the waist with a face full of forced smiles

Finally succeeded

Gulu

Although she had anticipated it in her heart, Lin Xi was still profoundly shocked when she truly encountered the abundant spiritual herbs of this world. Such mature herbs had nearly become extinct in another realm. The thin spiritual energy and the increasingly deteriorating natural environment made the search for these naturally occurring spiritual grasses nearly impossible

In less than half an hour, Lin Xi was enveloped in a wave of heat, and a small amount of black, sticky liquid, reeking of a foul odor, seeped out from the pores of his entire body

Hmph, what junior leader? We only know there are elders, and we are unaware of what else there is

In just the span of one hour, the brocade garments on Lin Xi had completely turned black. The odor emanating from them resembled that of a cesspit. The toxicity accumulated over six years was no trivial matter. However, Lin Xi was utterly unconcerned; on the contrary, he felt increasingly exhilarated.

Guard against great ignorance

Lin Xi selected some herbs with a very deep potency and placed them into the hot water of the refining barrel. After soaking for the duration of an incense stick, he immediately removed his clothing and stepped into the barrel to undergo the medicinal bath for body refinement

Flipping through the memories in his mind, Lin Xi suddenly realized that although he had previously held the identity of the young master of the Five Thunder Sect, he had never considered using this identity to enhance his martial arts skills or to solidify his position as the young master.

The disciple has learned from the master

Get lost! As long as I am not discarded for a day, I will still be the deputy leader of the Five Thunder Sect for a day. Others cannot enter this sect's treasury, but I can. Are you going to stop me?

Senior Brother Li spoke with great depth of meaning

Otherwise, relying on the combat experience, awareness, and reflexes he brought from his previous life, even if Long Danni's martial arts skills far surpassed his, she would not be able to injure him with a hasty counterattack

The so-called medicinal bath for body tempering refers to the process of refining the muscles, bones, and skin through the action of medicinal substances, significantly enhancing the various abilities of the martial artist, thereby preparing them to step into a higher realm of martial arts

In terms of experience in unarmed combat, Lin Xi is far superior to someone like Long Danni, who lives a life of luxury and has lackeys to handle everything for her. The so-called Fierce Sun Fist, although it appears imposing, is full of flaws in Lin Xi's eyes. However, due to his physical condition, he is unable to exploit these weaknesses.

... ...

Lin Xidao. His gaze flickered, and he immediately picked up a long robe and draped it over himself

Eight-leaf Ganoderma that has been aged for at least 30 years, doll ginseng that has been aged for over 50 years, and yellow essence that has been aged for 20 years

Lin Xi took in the expressions of these individuals, then casually pointed to a spot and said, "Just place it there."

This large barrel made of nanmu is called a "Cui Ti Tong". It is used by practitioners of the sect to soak and steam medicinal materials, as well as for body tempering and skill training

Dong dong

When Lin Xi was still the heir of a traditional martial arts family, he once found a twelve-year-old Huangjing, which had already astonished the elders in his family. If they were to see the things here, they would not know how shocked they would be.

In the deep mountains of this world, many medicinal herbs grow. These herbs thrive over time, accumulating the essence of heaven and earth, gradually possessing rich and pure energy. What the martial artists need to do is, during the medicinal bath, to use the method of circulating their vital energy to absorb the energy of these herbs infused in the water into their bodies

The interior of the Zongku Stone Cave is extremely vast, covering an area of several thousand square meters. Torches are inserted into the walls, illuminating piles of medicinal herbs. This crucial stronghold of the Five Thunder Sect is now fully open to Lin Xi

Lin Xi coldly shouted

Lin Xi stepped forward and walked directly towards the main gate of the treasury

Disciple, you are confused. Why should we get involved in the conflicts of immortals? You know that Li Jie from the back mountain, right? It was precisely because he angered the young master that he was severely injured. The elder meeting will be held in a few days, and this kid will soon be dismissed. He is now desperate and capable of anything. What need do we, a few errand runners, have to fight him? Once he is dismissed, we can just let the second elder deal with him

It is possible. After taking it a few more times, all toxins can be completely eliminated within two days

Come in

The Elder Council will convene tomorrow, leaving Lin Xi with little time. Lin Xi must prove that he possesses sufficient qualifications to inherit the position of the sect leader. Otherwise, his situation will be precarious

First, go to the ancestral repository to procure some medicinal herbs to detoxify the poison in your body

Upon placing down the refining barrel, the two disciples from the refining chamber hurriedly departed, not daring to linger for even a moment. Clearly, they were also fearful of Lin Xi's methods

Later on, Lin Xi even felt a kind of impulse to transcend and soar, as if her body were taking flight with her breath

The guard wore a mocking expression and was about to make things difficult when suddenly, a hand reached from behind and pulled him back.

Lin Xi's muscles suddenly exploded, and the venom clinging to his body, along with his clothing, instantly burst apart, splattering in all directions

What exactly happened? That final scream seemed to belong to the Holy Maiden of the Blazing Sun

Lin Xi felt that as the toxins were expelled, her entire body became increasingly relaxed. Her bones grew more resilient, and her muscles became more agile. When she threw punches, the movements were smoother, without the previous sense of stiffness.

Having learned from Li Jie's previous experience, the disciples in the training room have become much more prudent this time. They no longer dare to mock Lin Xi with cold sarcasm; each one keeps their head down, displaying an extremely respectful attitude

A bright light flashed in Lin Xi's eyes, and he immediately changed his focus, heading towards the back mountain

Lin Xi, illuminated by the light of the torch, felt dazzled and entranced. It was as if a pauper had stumbled into a treasure trove: "Elixirs are not meant to be used this way. The proper method to fully utilize these herbs is to refine them into pills. Unfortunately, it seems that this world does not care about that."

He is on the verge of being deposed, yet he still manages to oversee these matters

Bang

Lin Xi indeed knows several ancient recipes passed down through the family, but is at a loss due to the lack of medicinal materials

Suddenly, a knock sounded at the door. A voice from outside called out: "Young Master, the hot water you requested has arrived"

Lin Xi listened to the various discussions with a calm smile in his heart, choosing not to pay them any mind. Compared to these rumors and gossip, he had more important matters to attend to

Lin Ximei raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. He had initially thought it would take considerable effort, but unexpectedly, it was so easy to pass. He shot a glare at the two and said nothing more, proceeding towards the ancestral treasury.

When he just faced Long Danni, he already sensed it. Although this body has a good foundation, after so many years, it has been deeply poisoned. There are issues with the muscles, bones, and vital energy, and many movements are full of flaws, making it difficult to execute them smoothly

Lin Xi opened his mouth wide and swallowed it directly. He then assumed a stance of "Little Tiangang Fist," utilizing the flow of energy generated during the practice of the martial art to accelerate the dissolution of the medicinal properties within his abdomen

The medicinal materials in the sect's repository are subject to restrictions each time they are taken out. Even the elders of the sect cannot abuse their power to plunder the medicinal materials. However, this rule holds little significance for Lin Xi

In Lin Xi's view, this method of utilizing drugs is undoubtedly a waste of the efficacy of these miraculous medicines. However, Lin Xi soon has to confront the criticisms of the elders of the Five Thunder Sect and has no time to refine powerful elixirs.

"Young Master, I apologize for the offense. This fellow was merely joking. Who are you that you can be treated like others? This repository is a forbidden place for others, but not for you. Please, do come in."

Tsk tsk, such good things, all of them are good things! It's a pity that this kind of elixir is merely used for body tempering, absorbing the energy within. This is truly a waste

Hmm?

At the entrance of the grand hall, two disciples of the Five Thunder Sect are on guard
