Chapter 6: The Fourth Rank of Warriors

The transformation of your physique has been completed. You may continue to practice the Shen family's techniques. Once Uncle Stone returns, we will discuss the subsequent methods and heart techniques." Shen Yihuan instructed.

As he shed his garments, his entire body was immersed in a reddish-brown liquid, and Shen Jun felt a warm sensation, as if he had returned to the fetal stage, lying in his mother's embrace, experiencing unparalleled tranquility and comfort. However, moments later, his skin felt an excruciating burning sensation, as if he were submerged in molten lava

Shen Yihuan smiled as he looked on, his eyes filled with satisfaction: "A total of three treatment sessions, and we can proceed again at this time tomorrow."

After absorbing the blood of the self-absorbing python and expanding his dantian, Shen Junhuai had not yet truly settled down to cultivate. Seizing the opportunity of this transformative rebirth, he was eager to put his cultivation results into practice, so he bid farewell to his mother and returned to his residence to intensify his training.

The Shen family has received news that in recent days, there have been continuous disturbances at their home. Initially, Shen Junhuai's fifth cousin, Shen Linghan, came with his servants. Subsequently, he was joined by his fourth cousin, Shen Qingyuan, his sixth cousin, Shen Lingyu, his eighth cousin, Shen Jingqi, and a group of family retainers. There were instances of laughter and insults, and after a few scuffles were advised against, they left after reporting to the family elders.

Shen Junhuai felt a strange change occurring in his body, almost forgetting the pain of wanting to die in the past, and was also filled with anticipation for the upcoming treatment.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the air of the Starry Sky Continent is many times denser than that of Earth. Sitting cross-legged, he focuses on his dantian and circulates his mental techniques. At this moment, Shen Junhuai is enveloped in a layer of faint white mist, with his true essence circulating through his meridians. With each complete cycle, he can distinctly feel the true qi becoming increasingly pure, and the refined true essence ultimately returns to Shen Junhuai's dantian for storage, forming a grayish misty mass.

After several hours, the medicinal liquid visibly changed from reddish-brown to green, then became lighter and clearer, until it turned into a basin of clear water. The pain in the body gradually transformed into a slight tingling sensation.

In the midst of extreme pain, Shen Junhuai could distinctly feel the medicinal power of the Bone Cleansing and Marrow Washing Liquid gradually permeating his flesh, blood, and bones, cleansing his internal organs. The entire process was akin to "simmering soup," slowly and gently cooked over low heat, to the extent that it nearly caused him to lose consciousness

Unknowingly, a day has passed, and the true essence stored in the dantian has reached its limit. The capacity of the dantian has been expanded to its maximum, and the rotation speed of the qi vortex has increased several times compared to before

For a mortal to aspire to cultivate the Dao, one must first consider their aptitude, which is to say, their spiritual roots. Such as the innate Dao body, chaotic body, pure yin body, and mysterious female body, among others, are all considered top-tier spiritual roots. Those with superior quality will undoubtedly achieve twice the result with half the effort, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth more smoothly and refined.

Stepping out of the wooden barrel, I felt an unparalleled freshness, a comfort that reached its limit from the inside out, my entire body relaxed, and even the stretching of my arms and legs became smooth.

After completing one hundred and eight great circulations, Shen Junhuai finally opened his eyes, feeling refreshed and invigorated, almost as if he could rise off the ground. He could clearly sense the astonishing effects of his transformation; whether it was absorption, purification, or compression, the quality and capacity had undergone a remarkable and unprecedented change. He felt that he was just a step away from reaching the fourth rank of martial artists.

The bond between mother and child deepens as they part ways

Feeling the ascent of the fourth-tier power of a warrior and the inner growth, Shen Junhuai was somewhat troubled. He had made significant breakthroughs in his realm, yet his martial skills were nearly non-existent. The Shen family possessed countless martial techniques, but no one was willing to teach this outcast who did not fit into the family. He was still practicing the human-level technique "Wind Blade Sword" that his father had given him five years ago, and it was an incomplete version. The initial plan was to wait until the child grew older and his realm increased before making further arrangements, but unfortunately, with his father's sudden departure, the seven-year-old child was left without guidance.

Thus, two more days passed, and the essence of washing bones and refining marrow was completely consumed. Shen Junhuai closed his eyes and carefully sensed his transformation, which was a pure feeling of comfort and satisfaction, as if his entire body were bathed in sunlight, immersed in warm water, or embraced by a gentle breeze filled with the fragrance of flowers and the songs of birds. All the most beautiful sensations he had ever experienced seemed to magnify a thousandfold, flooding over him in an instant

As noon approached, Ye Kong returned from outside, feeling quite cheerful today. After all, the results of over a month of hard training were not easily achieved. Turning past his own courtyard gate, he noticed a considerable number of clan members gathered outside to watch. Shen Junhuai's heart trembled, realizing that something was amiss; it was likely that someone from the Shen family had come to cause trouble again. He quickly dashed into the courtyard, and the scene that met his eyes made him grit his teeth in frustration.

Meanwhile, a surge of heat rose within, akin to a red-hot iron rod wildly darting through the body's meridians, violently impacting his channels... Guanyuan, Zhongji, Guanyuan, Shimen, Qihai, Yinjiao, Shenque, Mingmen, Yangguan, Xuanshu, Zhiyang, Lingtai, Shendao, Baihui, Shangxing

The washing of bones and the extraction of marrow fluid fundamentally promote and improve the human body, with miraculous medicinal effects

The purpose of improving physical constitution is to clear blocked meridians, broaden the meridians throughout the body, eliminate impurities within the body, lay the groundwork for the introduction of vital energy, and facilitate the absorption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth

A number of events have occurred this month

The pain is no longer concentrated in certain points, and instead, it feels much more comfortable

Madam Liu took out a wooden box, opened it, and handed it to Shen Junhuai. "This jade hairpin is a betrothal gift from your Shen family, along with the gold earrings that your mother used to wear. The jade qilin was given to me by your father." Madam Liu then picked up a jade dragon pendant: "This is an item worn by your father, which has been passed down to all male descendants of the Shen family. That is all; I am entrusting everything to you for your consideration, is that acceptable?"

Uncle Huan has found a piece of land near the Liu family's home in Chengguan Town. In recent days, Aunt Huang from next door has also been helping the Liu family pack their belongings. Once the new residence is tidied up, they will be able to move in.

In a state of confusion, Shen Yihuan's urgent voice reached my ears: "Quickly circulate your mind method." Shen Junhuai came to his senses, calmed his mind, and began to circulate the mind method. He immediately felt the absorption of the medicinal power by his body gradually accelerate, and the pain throughout his body also began to subside.

Liu thought to himself that in the future, he would still need Uncle Huan to handle many matters, so it would be good to find a reason that would make it seem natural.

In the blink of an eye, a month has swiftly passed. On this day, Ye Kong absorbed a trace of spiritual energy into his Qi Sea and slowly opened his eyes, a hint of faint joy appearing in his gaze. He had finally reached the fourth rank of martial artists, and the speed of his cultivation made him unable to contain his delight

Shen Junhuai felt a pang of pain in his heart and refused, saying, "Let us not discuss this matter for the time being. When Uncle Huan finds a new place to live, we can address it together."

Only a layer of foul-smelling mucus remained clinging to the body. It was only after receiving the soap pod and wooden brush handed over by Shen Yihuan that one could begin to wash it away little by little

Returning home, Shen Junhuai entered the main room where his mother was and recounted his experiences from the past few days, which led Liu to fall into deep thought. After a while, Liu said: "We must not let Uncle Huan feel slighted; his family is not more affluent than ours. Your father left behind a few items; come and see if we can exchange some good ones to repay Uncle Huan for his great kindness." After saying this, she led her son into the inner room.
