Chapter 5: Muscle and Bone Cleansing

For example, the main ingredient of the Washing Marrow Pill happens to be an important auxiliary medicinal material for foundation-building stage cultivators attempting to break through to the core formation stage. This creates a dilemma; aside from major sects that may refine a small quantity for the purpose of nurturing their disciples, others do not have such luxury

The Ice Silkworm Robe, entirely woven from the silk produced by the snow mountain ice silkworm, when worn, is cool yet not cold, extinguishing internal heat while resisting water and fire from the outside, remaining free from dust, and serves as an excellent aid for cultivation

A medicinal vial made of black jade, inscribed with the three characters "Xisui Dan"

There is nothing particularly mysterious about it; the rarity and high value of these elixirs are primarily due to their ingredients. It is already noteworthy that some of the herbs required to refine these elixirs are scarce, but they also happen to conflict with several high-tier elixirs.

The Feiyun Boat is quite remarkable; this high-level magical artifact specializes in flight. Aside from its wind shield, it possesses no offensive or defensive capabilities. Precisely because of its specialization, it excels exceptionally in flight, surpassing even top-tier magical artifacts in terms of speed. For cultivators in the Qi Refining stage, it is considered a valuable treasure for preserving life.

The Qiankun Bag and the advanced magical artifact, the Feiyun Boat, were both personally crafted by Master Han Hao. Han Hao's current status within the sect is related to his cultivation level, but more importantly, it is due to his exceptional skills in artifact refinement that far surpass those of his peers

Among the low-grade elixirs, there are several that are highly valuable and can rival the elixirs consumed by Core Formation and even Nascent Soul cultivators. The renowned Foundation Establishment Pill is one such example, as is the Bone Cleansing Pill.

According to Zhuo Hao's introduction, in terms of artifact refining skills, within the entire Dharma Aspect Sect, even among the seniors in the Core Formation stage, few can surpass him. The current Qiankun bag and Feiyun boat are his meticulously crafted works, showcasing their extraordinary quality

I pulled it a full one hundred and twenty-eight times! Just as the medicine entered my mouth, before I could catch my breath, my stomach rumbled violently, threatening to burst. After this first time, it never stopped; on average, it was ten times every hour without fail

Do not underestimate the importance of having a separate courtyard; merely possessing a private medicinal herb garden can make the inner disciples and ordinary disciples envious to the point of drooling, while the outer disciples wouldn't even dare to think about it

Alas! The medicine is effective, but it is rather strong

According to Zhang Fan, the disciples of the Nine Layers Sect are also destined to be unrelated to the Xisui Dan, as only those with heavenly spiritual roots or extraordinary spiritual roots, the favored ones of heaven, are deemed worthy by the sect to use such a pill to solidify their foundation. If it were not for the consideration of his deceased great-grandfather, given his qualifications, he would not even have the opportunity to smell it, let alone consume it.

The purple-gold bag of holding is exquisitely delicate, feeling as if one is grasping a swimming fish in the palm of their hand, eager to slip away. Hanging at the waist, it adds an air of elegance and grandeur.

In addition to this, there are also items such as the peaked cap, straw sandals, and jade pendants, leaving only the undergarments unprepared

In the spiritually rich realm of the Fa Xiang School, even a random blade of grass, after a century or so, can possess extraordinary medicinal properties, let alone those spiritual herbs.

... ...

The exterior of the purple-gold Qiankun bag is exquisite, certainly not comparable to the dull yellow ones distributed by the sect. It is square and bulky, far surpassing any large pocket. The space inside is astonishingly vast, measuring nearly ten feet in diameter, comparable to the size of a room. These features alone do not showcase Han Hao's skills; the primary advantage of this Qiankun bag lies in its durability. According to Zhuo Hao, no attack below the Core Formation stage can damage it.

The Xisui Dan, this medicine, has long been known by name, yet specific descriptions are rarely seen. There was once a wandering cultivator who stumbled upon good fortune and exchanged a piece of accidentally obtained ore for one. Overjoyed, he felt he had struck a great bargain. Thus, he solemnly recorded it on a jade tablet, which allowed him to gain a vague understanding.

This place originally belonged to Senior Brother Zhuo Hao, but now that he has successfully established his foundation, as a foundation-building cultivator, he naturally has the right to excavate a cave dwelling on the spiritual vein. The ready-made courtyard has thus been taken over by Zhang Fan.

Originally, there was a low-grade Qiankun bag and a low-tier magical artifact, a willow leaf sword (the kind that the old man is stepping on), both of which are commonly possessed by every disciple of the sect, but he has already put them away

Zhuo Hao had just left, and Zhang Fan was sitting cross-legged on the cloud bed, staring blankly at the large pile of items before him

The cost is indeed high, and naturally, the efficacy is not low. When taken for the first time, it can consolidate the foundation and enhance the strength of the muscles and internal organs, improve physical constitution, and more importantly, it can eliminate toxins accumulated within the body all at once, making the body more suitable for cultivation

This is quite amusing, as a half-grown boy suddenly jumps out of the bathtub with a loud "ah" and dashes cleanly towards the toilet in a comical scene

This would be acceptable, but what is worse is that while constantly running to the restroom, various impurities, both black and yellow, continuously secrete from the body, sticking to the skin and clogging the pores. As a result, I have to wash myself every so often to avoid affecting the detoxification effect

For cultivators, these can be considered an extravagant configuration, with each core disciple of the Dharma Aspect Sect receiving a share. Every month, they can also receive twenty low-grade spirit stones, as well as ten commonly used pills such as Vitality-Enhancing Pills, Fasting Pills, and Healing Pills. With these items, they essentially need not worry about matters outside of their cultivation.

At last, it has come to an end. Zhang Fan began to walk towards his master's cave, sighing as he walked.

Expressing his good fortune, Zhang Fan opened all the restrictions outside the house, seated himself cross-legged on the purple core grass mat, and placed the rare elixir into his mouth

The mat woven from purple core grass calms the mind and stabilizes the spirit, making it easier to enter a meditative state while sitting on it, achieving a state of cultivation where both the human realm and the material realm are transcended, and both mind and matter are forgotten.

It is precisely because of this understanding that Zhang Fan regards this cleansing elixir as of utmost importance

However, compared to the pile of things in front of him, this little privilege seemed rather insignificant

As a core disciple, Zhang Fan can now begin cultivating some spiritual herbs. By the time he establishes his foundation and achieves the Golden Core stage, a hundred to eighty years will have passed. At that point, the entire medicinal garden will be filled with spiritual medicines that are over a hundred years old. Whether used for alchemy to assist in cultivation or sold directly, it will represent a considerable fortune.

A completely silver-white boat-shaped artifact, slender and elongated, with a shimmering brilliance, quietly lies there, evoking a sense of riding the winds and breaking the waves

Unfortunately, starting from the second administration, the effects became negligible. Otherwise, it would not be surprising if the price were to increase several times, as the body is the foundation of cultivation and the greatest asset beyond spiritual roots

Regardless of which of the two it is, both can cause those loose cultivators to fight fiercely for them; however, in Zhang Fan's heart, that bottle of elixir is still the most important.

In the eyes of Zhang Fan, who became wealthy overnight, these common goods were no longer visible. What lay before him on the tray were three items specially bestowed by his master, which were the focus of his attention

After taking two steps, he could not help but glance back, a hint of relief appearing on his face. As he recalled the day he had just endured, a sense of unbearable nostalgia for the past suddenly arose.

This is a secluded courtyard, located near Master Han Hao's cave dwelling. Not only is the environment tranquil, but it is also fully equipped with items such as medicinal gardens and array restrictions.

Twelve hours later, Zhang Fan, dressed in an ice silkworm robe and wearing a purple-gold Qiankun bag at his waist, walked out of the house with a refreshed demeanor

Such a bag of holding was made by Han Hao in only two copies, one for each of his fellow disciples, which demonstrates its rarity
