The two of them went to the biggest pharmacy in town and found the twenty or so herbs they needed. They were all common herbs, so it was easy for them to gather all of them.
"How much?" Qinchuan asked.
"It's not worth much. It's our honor to have Young Master Qin and Miss Bei here. There's no need to pay." The owner waved his hand and said.
"Since it's not worth much, then there's no need to owe me a favor." Qinchuan smiled and left with Bei Xueyi.
The owner smiled and saw them off.
When they got home, Qinchuan started to brew the Tiger Bone Strengthening Soup. There was actually a sequence to the brewing process. Otherwise, some of the herbs would cancel each other out. Only when the sequence was right and the temperature was right, could the effects of the soup be truly integrated and even change.
This was also the ability of Qin Chuan's medicinal soup. If one didn't know the trick, even if they had the recipe, it would be useless. The slightest mistake could lead to a great error. But now, Qin Chuan could double the effect of this Tiger Bone Strengthening Soup.
The tiger bones of wild beasts and normal herbs were only useful to low level martial artists or martial artists who were drinking the soup for the first time. The effect of drinking the soup more than twice would be negligible.
Elixirs and soup were saturated. If used too much, the body wouldn't be able to absorb it. Or rather, the absorption would be so small that it was negligible.
The fire burned and the water in the pot boiled. The tiger bones were in the boiling water. When there was less water, more water was added and the soup continued to boil. Just like that, it simmered for four hours. Then, three herbs were added.
Another half an hour passed, and the water in the cauldron became a little white. More than twenty medicinal herbs were put into the cauldron at intervals …
A light fragrance floated out. The fragrance was very light, but it was very attractive.
When the fire was extinguished, eight hours had passed. The sky was getting dark. This was really a Kungfu soup.
He took out bowls and gave each of them a bowl. It was just right, as if the soup had been specially measured.
Qinchuan and Bei Xueyi each took a bowl. Bei Xueyi took small sips while Qinchuan endured the heat and drank it in one gulp.
A warm aura quickly rose in his body. He felt so warm that he just wanted to lie down and not move.
Crackle …
A series of small and concentrated sounds of bones cracking could be heard. His body seemed to have become a little stronger and more symmetrical. This was a soup that strengthened the body and bones. It had a great effect on the reaction of muscles and the strength of bones.
Bei Xueyi couldn't see any changes on her body. She was very talented, and her body was extremely well-proportioned. Therefore, no changes could be seen on the surface.
She closed her eyes like a fairy, immersed in a wonderful realm. Her beautiful face carried a trace of a satisfied smile.
Qin Hai and the others looked even more robust. Their cultivations had also increased by a large amount. The benefits of the Tiger Bone Strengthening Soup were especially obvious for martial artists below the third level of the Martial Dao.
Qinchuan was at the peak of the second rank of the Martial Path, so it was only a matter of time before he broke through to the third rank.
Bei Xue Yi's cultivation hadn't increased by much, but the internal benefits were enormous. His combat ability had increased by a lot. Sometimes, if his body's reaction speed was a little bit slower, he might lose his life. If he was a little bit faster, he might be able to dodge an attack. Similarly, if he was a little bit slower, he might be able to deal a heavy blow to his opponent.
This was the importance of one's reaction speed. If one's reaction speed was good, it would be of great help to one's body, footwork, and martial arts.
In the legends, there were people who cultivated their bodies to the extreme, and developed their bodies to the extreme …
It was already very late when Bei Xueyi finished her acupuncture treatment. This was Qinchuan's room. Right now, Qinchuan and Bei Xueyi were lying side by side. In his heart, he was wondering if this counted as sharing a bed …
"Why don't we rest here tonight?" Qinchuan said.
"I've never seen such a perverted kid like you." Bei Xueyi turned her head and looked at Qinchuan.
The two of them were lying side by side. When Bei Xueyi turned her head, their faces were less than three inches apart. Qinchuan could clearly see her beautiful eyelashes. Her beautiful eyes were like shooting stars, bright and pure, making Qinchuan feel like sinking into them.
"It's a pity that I can't do anything now. I really want to grow a few years older." Qinchuan smiled helplessly.
Ha!
The corner of Bei Xueyi's mouth curled up. Her simple and elegant smile was very bright at this moment. She looked at him with a hint of femininity and said, "You're just a little kid, what else do you want to do?"
After all, Qinchuan was an adult. Although Bei Xueyi was only sixteen, her development was better than a woman in her twenties.
His heart was burning, but his body didn't respond.
In the end, Bei Xueyi didn't leave. She only treated Qinchuan as a child. No matter how close she was to Qinchuan, no one would say anything.
When he woke up the next day, Qinchuan was lying on Bei Xueyi's body. His two arms were hugging two peaks, and his face was resting on one of them. His saliva had soaked that part of his clothes.
Bei Xueyi moved Qinchuan down and tidied his clothes. He turned around and looked at Qinchuan. "Are you satisfied?"
"No!" Qinchuan chuckled.
Bei Xueyi left, and Qinchuan sent her out.
"Big Sister Bei, no matter where you go, remember not to get married. Otherwise, I'll have to break you up in the future." Qinchuan shouted.
Bei Xueyi staggered and almost fell. She glared at Qinchuan angrily.
Small success in hidden weapons was enough for now. Tiger Fist had reached perfection. As for Truth Realm, it required some luck and couldn't be forced.
The battle with the black tiger made him understand the importance of movement techniques. In his previous life, movement techniques were what he was most proud of. This movement technique didn't have any levels, at least he didn't know. Moreover, anyone could learn it, even if they were in the first or tenth stage of the Martial Path.
In his previous life, he had reached the thirteenth level!
World Crossing Step!
This movement technique was simple and natural. It was simple at the beginning, but it was very practical. It was said that this movement technique was created by Buddha. Not only could it be used to travel, but it could also be used to avoid the attacks of wild beasts and demonic beasts.
With the experience of reaching the thirteenth level of the World Crossing Step, cultivating it was especially smooth. He easily learned it and reached the second level in half a day.
The Overwhelming Tyrant Body made his talent even better, and his cultivation speed doubled. Everything was incomparably easy. This was also within Qinchuan's expectations.
The first three levels were relatively easy, but from the fourth level onwards, the difficulty would increase. He needed strength to back it up.
Qinchuan drew many lattices on the ground, and then moved through them. Later on, he placed large stones in some of the lattices …
When he was tired, he sat on the ground and took out a book to calculate the nine palaces. This book was written by Qinchuan in the past. Back then, he wrote it to deceive others and to give himself a reasonable explanation.
"Little brother Chuan, what are you researching again?" Qin Hai sat beside Qinchuan.
"World Crossing Step. Are you interested in learning it?" Qinchuan closed the book and smiled.
"Sure, it's a pity that my brain isn't working well. I can't break through after reaching the second level. Moreover, I feel that its power is only so-so. It's not even as good as the basic footwork," Qin Hai said while scratching his head.
Qinchuan had a very good impression of this third generation boss. Although his talent was average and his character was simple and honest, he was a good person. It might be difficult for him to achieve anything in a big place, but in the South Sea Bay, even if it was in the South Sea City, Qinchuan had the confidence to let him have a place.
"In that case, big brother, follow me and practice for a while. Watch carefully, I'll walk once." Qinchuan pointed at the lattices in front of him. One-third of them were filled with stones. These stones were placed in a very special position. If one ran within them, they wouldn't be able to run away.
Qinchuan ran within them. Although it wasn't fast, it was very smooth. This was also the standard that Qinchuan was currently capable of.
When Qin Hai saw that Qin Chuan's running seemed to be very simple, he realized that every time he ran, he would stop. It was almost as if he could not run any further. Only then did he realize how difficult it was for Qin Chuan to run.
"This is to train the reflexes and coordination of your eyes and body. Run first. Oh right, as long as you persevere, you'll definitely enjoy endless benefits in the future." Qinchuan stood on his tiptoes and patted Qin Hai's shoulder.
Apart from the necessary training, Qinchuan would also go out to hunt when he had nothing to do. However, it was mostly around Boulder Mountain. He would also go fishing and spend time with his father.
The Qin family couldn't be considered very rich, but they weren't poor either. They also had their own businesses in the town, but they were much worse than the Bei family and the Qi family.
As for money, Qinchuan didn't really desire it. Good things couldn't be bought with money. As long as he had a little bit of money, it would be enough.
As the end of the year approached, Boulder Town was filled with a joyous atmosphere. Last month, Bei Xue Yi had broken through to the seventh stage and was sent to the Bei family in the South Sea City.
