Chapter 479 - Treasures In The Real World (1/2)
”I have heard it before, but what does it mean to 'temper' my physique?” Yuan asked Zhai Ye a moment later.
”There are a couple of methods you can use to temper your body, but the most common ones are bathing in liquefied treasure and cultivating in a special area that affects your body.” Zhai Ye said.
”Bathing in liquefied treasure, huh?” Yuan repeated to himself.
”I understand the first one, but what about the second method? What kind of special area do I have to cultivate in? Do you have any examples?”
”There are multiple phenomenal places in the cultivation world, such as a mountain that has extreme Yang Qi, and if you have a physique that benefits from Yang Qi, you can cultivate there to temper your body. Another example is a place called the Frozen Sea where it releases extremely pure Yin Qi, so females with a special Yin Physique would go there to temper their body.”
”Some methods are stress-free while others are incredibly painful. This should be obvious, but the stronger your physique, the more resources you'll need to temper it, and in your case… you'll probably have to go to hell and back… multiple times in order to temper your body.”
Yuan nodded and said, ”Returning to the first method… Are there treasures out there specifically for tempering one's body? Or can I just use any treasure for the bath?”
”There are specific treasures out there for body tempering, Young Master. In fact, I have some with me. We can try it later.” Feng Yuxiang suddenly said.
”Really?!” Yuan immediately became elevated upon hearing her words.
”Yes. Just let me know when you want to do it.” Feng Yuxiang nodded.
”Let's do it tomorrow, then!”
”Okay.”
Sometime later, Zhai Ye said, ”If you got nothing else for me, can you leave? I am barely keeping my sanity just by being around you.”
”S-Sorry… We'll leave right now. And thank you very much for your help, senior.” Yuan bowed to him.
”Do you still need me around?” Li Shizhen then asked.
”If not, I will stay around for a little more, and I still have to give a lecture to the doctors back at the medicine store,” he said.
”No, you can leave. Thank you for everything as well. I will definitely repay this debt in the future.” Yuan bowed to him too.
”You don't have to repay me. I am a Divine Doctor. I don't accept payments for my assistance. And I didn't really do anything— only giving you some advice.” Li Shizhen said.
”Still, I want to thank you for helping me greatly.”
Li Shizhen nodded and then said, ”Very well. How about this? If your friend's condition gets better because of this, I will accept your gratitude.”
”Okay!” Yuan said.
”Let's go, Feng Feng,” Yuan said to her before flying back to the nearest city with a teleport device.
Once they were gone, Zhai Ye opened the door and walked outside again.
”What more do you want from me?” He asked Li Shizhen.
Li Shizhen smiled and said, ”Wanna have a drink? It's been a decade since we last sat down together, after all.”
”I hope you brought something strong— strong enough for me to forget about that little monster,” said Zhai Ye.
”Of course.”
The two of them entered the building and began drinking alcohol.
Meanwhile, after they arrived at the city, Yuan said, ”Feng Feng, I am going to retire today. I will see you tomorrow early in the morning.”
”Okay. Rest well, Young Master.”
Once Feng Yuxiang entered his body, Yuan logged off the game.
When Yuan logged off, dinner was already prepared by Meixiu.
”Meixiu, I am finished,” he said to her.
”I'm coming.” Meixiu entered his room a minute later with dinner.
Yuan wanted to tell her about everything that happened today, but Meixiu insisted that he finished dinner first.
After dinner, Meixiu cleaned the dishes before going back to his room and taking a seat beside his bed.
”Alright. What happened?” she asked him.
”You won't believe what happened today, Meixiu!” Yuan proceeded to tell her everything Li Shizhen and Zhai Ye had told him.
”You're cursed?” Meixiu wasn't sure how to react after listening to his story.
”Do curses even exist in our world?” she couldn't help but wonder this question out loud.
”I can only think of one instance where curses are mentioned in this world… When I asked Yu Rou about playing the zither in this world before, she told me that people used to use them many years ago, but people eventually stopped playing zither because of some curse.”
”Hmm… Give me a moment to look it up.” Meixiu said before taking out her laptop and searching about the curse on the internet.
