Chapter Five: spirit power Oscillation
So now, what I need to consider is how to make the muscles move on their own?
In a fantasy World, if the will can command spirit power and control mental force, why can't it dominate the physical body?
"Move, damn it!"
Zhao Liuyun roared inwardly, his face twisted ferociously, imagining his will penetrating his body and waking up every inch of sleeping muscle... Of course, it was all in vain.
Instead, his face flushed crimson from clenching his jaw.
Taking a breath, Zhao Liuyun patted his cheeks.
Or perhaps, the direction was wrong from the start.
External force applied to the body is massage; muscles exerting force on their own should be considered exercise?
After pondering for a moment, he directly applied fluctuating spirit power Oscillation to himself.
spirit power can act as an external force for massage, but its current intensity is too low, and Controlling Crane Catching Dragon is not practiced enough to replace manual techniques.
However, the spirit power application method of [Adjustment] is inherently similar to a fascia gun, and since it originates internally, it can simultaneously reach every part of the body.
"Ugh~"
Zhao Liuyun groaned, his eyes widening, his muscles twitching, and his spirit power instantly slipped out of control.
The instantaneous impact almost made him slide off the chair, and his breathing suddenly quickened.
"That's a bit much to handle."
His body, already sore and aching from the workout, was now jolted by the spirit power, giving him the sensation of being pressed by countless fascia guns simultaneously.
Racking his brain, he could only find one most fitting word—
Aching Pleasure!
A strange and explosive sensation of pleasure.
Fortunately, he was alone in his room; even if he lost control, no one would see.
Thinking this, Zhao Liuyun narrowed his eyes: "How about... one more time?"
Oscillation can also relieve muscle fatigue.
In his previous life, Zhao Liuyun had bought a few gym classes and roughly knew that—
Accelerating blood circulation helps clear lactic acid and inflammatory factors produced after exercise, while the abundant nutrients brought by the blood promote tissue repair.
It also seemed to relax the fascia and separate muscle adhesions.
"Ah~" Zhao Liuyun tried his best to endure, but he couldn't help a trembling moan escaping through his clenched teeth.
The spirit power was interrupted again.
After recovering, his gaze deepened, and he whispered to himself, "Continue?"
But he always felt that something wasn't quite right.
Zhao Liuyun searched desperately, digging up the coach's words from those few gym classes deep in his memory.
"It is not advisable to use a fascia gun immediately after exercise; one should wait 24 to 48 hours."
If now wasn't suitable, he would use it tomorrow.
Zhao Liuyun quickly washed up and lay directly on the bed.
Since things were this way, he should sleep first.
He needed to recover some strength, as he still had to treat patients and earn money in the afternoon... "Nephew!"
He hadn't slept long when a powerful, deep voice came from afar, startling Zhao Liuyun, who had only just drifted into light sleep.
His Martial Uncle was calling him from inside the shop.
"Coming!" he replied, pushing the door open and stepping out.
It was time to gain Physician Profession Professional Experience.
"Martial Uncle." Zhao Liuyun quickly walked from the backyard into the shop, where he immediately saw a Mercenary lying on the floor.
The appearance was slightly familiar; he remembered this person belonged to the Mercenary group that took him Spirit Hunting.
The man was short and sturdy, but his face was cyanotic, and his breathing was faint, clearly showing he was near death.
Two people stood nearby, both looking extremely anxious.
One of them was unfamiliar, probably a newcomer.
The other one was very familiar to Zhao Liuyun.
Scarface, Bearded Man, with white, yellow, and yellow spirit rings, a Spirit Elder whose Spirit was the Long-Tusked Elephant, and the Mercenary group leader Tian Wenlong.
Zhao Liuyun glanced at him, and Tian Wenlong, hearing the footsteps, also turned his head to look at the figure who had suddenly appeared.
The moment their eyes met, Tian Wenlong's expression froze.
Even after a year, that embarrassing Spirit Hunting experience was still fresh in his memory.
"Little Brother Zhao."
"Uncle Tian."
After a brief greeting, Zhao Liuyun said no more and turned his attention to the injured man.
His Martial Uncle Huang Xin summoned his Honeysuckle Martial Soul, and his second spirit ring shone as he used a Spirit Ability to detoxify the patient.
He was casting his first Spirit Ability to suppress the spread of the toxin, while briefly explaining the situation:
"He's been poisoned by a Corrosive Poisonous Centipede over a hundred years old. The poison isn't extremely potent, but because it was delayed, ordinary antidotes are no longer effective."
"What should I do?" Zhao Liuyun asked in a low voice.
Having studied Douluo Continent medical skills for a long time, and having diligently researched the poison chapter and medicine chapter of the Hundred Explanations of Hidden Weapons, ordinary toxins would not stump him.
"I can't free up my hands. Mix a new bowl of antidote using Black Poison Wolf Spider Fang Powder combined with fire mulberry Seed Leaf Powder."
The young new Mercenary seemed to have some objection, as if he wanted to question Zhao Liuyun's youth and lack of experience.
Tian Wenlong frowned, however, and let out a low shout, "Stop messing around!" blocking the young man.
Zhao Liuyun paid no attention to their reactions.
He just walked quickly toward the medicine cabinet.
The Black Poison Wolf Spider is mildly poisonous, but its fang powder, due to prolonged toxin exposure, is actually more potent than its venom.
This is a neurotoxin; used in small amounts, it won't harm the body and can serve as an anesthetic.
fire mulberry Seed Leaves originate from the rare fire-attribute plant-type Spirit Beast, fire mulberry. Their leaves possess trace fire elements, which have an excellent removal effect on chronic or more stubborn corrosive toxins.
The only drawback is that the medicine is highly volatile and acts extremely fast. During the detoxification process, the injured person is bound to suffer some burning pain.
The shop had apprentices studying under his Martial Uncle, and they usually handled the mundane tasks of dispensing medicine and serving customers.
However, detailed work like compounding medicine and controlling the dosage of various medicinal materials required the Physician to handle it personally.
"fire mulberry Leaves, trace Black Poison Wolf Spider Fang Powder..."
With the help of the shop apprentices, Zhao Liuyun weighed several neutralizing medicines, ground them into powder, mixed them with water, and activated them with spirit power.
Before long, a bowl of light brown medicinal liquid was prepared.
He carried the bowl and quickly returned.
"Martial Uncle?"
"Force it down him," Huang Xin instructed.
"I'll help." Tian Wenlong stepped forward, helped the Mercenary lying on the ground sit up into a semi-reclining posture.
The medicinal liquid went down his throat, and the effect quickly manifested.
With Zhao Liuyun's eyesight, he naturally saw that this medicinal soup, prepared with two main ingredients, lacked a detoxification step.
But his Martial Uncle's Honeysuckle Martial Soul's second Spirit Abilityhappened to have a detoxifying effect, perfectly compensating for this.
As a mouthful of light green poisonous blood was spat out, the dark cyan pallor on the Mercenary's face faded significantly.
His previously purple lips gradually returned to normal color, and his breathing stabilized.
Only then did Tian Wenlong sigh in relief, laugh heartily, reach into his money pouch with his right hand, and swiftly count out the gold coins.
"Hahaha, Brother Huang, we owe you again this time! You saved my brother's life."
He then turned and thanked Zhao Liuyun.
"And thank you too, Little Brother Zhao, for helping prepare the medicine."
Spreading the gratitude evenly, offending no one.
"It's just my job," Zhao Liuyun simply smiled.
"How did it happen?" Huang Xin put away his Spirit.
Tian Wenlong hoisted the Mercenary, who had already opened his eyes, onto his back, saying with a wry smile:
"A Corrosive Poisonous Centipede fell from the tree. He reacted quickly to protect the client and knocked it away, but his mouth was open, and he got sprayed directly with the venom."
"..." Huang Xin nodded, taking the opportunity to promote his business, "Do you want to take a few more types of antidotes?"
"This poison isn't particularly fierce, just a bit stubborn. You simply didn't prepare the right medicine for the symptoms."
"If he had taken the medicine earlier, he could have been cured directly, and you wouldn't have had to waste money coming here."
"Give me five portions of the common ones," Tian Wenlong scratched his head. "My Spirit has tough skin and thick flesh, so I don't really need these."
Under his Martial Uncle's guidance, Zhao Liuyun swiftly prepared various antidotes.
"Thanks, Little Brother Zhao, for your trouble." Tian Wenlong carried his poisoned teammate on his back.
The young Mercenary took the antidotes, bought some Insect Repellent Powder and Snake Repellent Powder, and then left.
"Mercenary..."
Zhao Liuyun looked at the retreating figures of the three men, muttered twice, and continued to busy himself.
He didn't play much of a role in the detoxification just now.
He only compounded the medicine and administered it, but the Professional Experience gained was considerable—a full 6 points.
Could it be because the patient was a Spirit Master, and thus of higher 'quality' than an ordinary person?
