Chapter 10
"Haha, master, I'm done!"

Mo Qingchu, who was pinching a gray-white animal hair, fell into ecstasy.

"New hallucinations appear, and false touches appear!"

"I finally have the usual symptoms of others taking medicine baths!" Mo Qingchu thought.

It's my turn to get sick, oh yeah!
To be honest, Mo Qingchu has always been skeptical about this [Medical Bath · First Experience].

This is like drinking liquor for the first time. Common sense tells you that many people only have a few taels, but you drink two catties in one go, and you don’t even feel a little drunk.

At this time, do you feel that you are a natural alcohol container, or do you think that what I drink is not a fake bar?

Mo Qingchu is the latter.

How can it be so easy and normal for others to take a medicated bath like me?
I can't be negative just because my eyes are sick, right?

He rubbed the gray-white fur with his fingers happily, feeling its texture.

"Just two words - lifelike!"

Tsk, the practice world is really strange.

He felt that he had already stepped half a foot into the realm of cultivation, and Mo Qingchu in the bathtub was so happy that he couldn't close his legs.

I saw him lift up the gray-white animal hair, and then blow it hard.

The animal hair swayed in the air for a while, then slowly landed.

"Tsk! This hallucinatory visual effect is mainly about being realistic!"

……

……

On the other side, Chen Yu, whose back was facing Mo Qingchu, began to flip through the manual.

This kind of manual can be said to be a copy for every practitioner who goes down the mountain to recruit new practitioners for the first time.

It's just that her impromptu reading behavior will make people feel that this woman is unreliable.

According to the content in the manual, there are indeed many people with special constitutions who will take medicinal baths continuously within a day.

But it is not recorded in the manual that if the medicinal liquid is directly squeezed dry like Mo Qingchu, it can still be seamlessly connected.

Emotional [Medicine King] Li Tianshu's medicated bath method is specially developed for your physique, right?

After flipping through the manual, Chen Yu took out the second medicine powder from his pocket.

She wanted to turn around, but in the end she was afraid that she would lose some cuteness by seeing "dirty things" again, so she chose to turn her back on Mo Qingchu who was naked, and threw the medicine powder to him.

The boy in the bathtub just watched the medicine powder being wrapped in a cloud of airflow, and then fell steadily into his hands.

"Is this the ability of a practitioner?" he thought to himself.

Mo Qingchu opened the medicine packet, which was only the size of an instant noodle seasoning packet, and said, "Just pour it into the water, right?"

Chen Yu nodded, following her movements, the double braids swayed slightly.

"But having said that, it's actually a good thing that you can quickly absorb the power of the medicine," she said.

"The four-year [evil moon] is approaching, if something unexpected happens, I may not have time to take care of you." The girl said.

Mo Qingchu nodded, opened the medicine package, poured all the medicine powder into the water, and stirred the empty medicine package in the water to try to dissolve it all.

The pure and translucent water turns black as ink in a short while.

The second medicated bath, the overall feeling is no different from the first time, it just feels like a cycle.

And Mo Qingchu's absorption speed neither became faster nor slower.

It's just that his forehead is itching more and more.

During the medicinal bath, Mo Qingchu asked Chen Yu to verify one thing.

The gray-white animal hair fell not far from the barrel.

He asked Chen Yu to see if there was really such a thing on the ground.

The answer Chen Yu gave was: "No."

This made the boy in the bucket heave a sigh of relief.

On the contrary, Chen Yu was puzzled.

"Other people will see extremely terrifying things when they take a medicinal bath."

"He took a medicated bath and saw... a hair?"

.......
.......
Sunset west of the mountains, the sky is getting late.

During the medicinal bath, Mo Qingchu didn't feel hungry at all. On the contrary, he still had a feeling of fullness, and his lower abdomen gradually became warmer.

As for Chen Yu, he was munching on the meat buns made by Sun Sanniang.

This is just specially sent by the considerate Sanniang.

She was worried that Mo Qingchu was taking a medicinal bath, and Mo Shuli, who had eye problems, would not have dinner.

A woman of this age knows how to love others, and moistens things silently.

How could a person as careful as Sanniang not wipe the tub before lending it out, and leave "remnants" in the tub?

"It's delicious, it's definitely the most delicious bun I've ever eaten." Chen Yu raved about it.

"I don't know what kind of stuffing it is, but the meat tastes so good." She said.

"Pork stuffing." Mo Qingchu said, "The pigs are raised by Aunt Liu and Bo Han in the village."

The pig is a black pig, and the two will feed special pig feed.

The pigs they raise have a relatively short growth cycle and always grow very fast, as if they were fed hormones.

And the meat quality is very good, very delicious.

In Mo Qingchu's eyes, Aunt Liu was an ordinary-looking but kind middle-aged woman, if she didn't have many arms.

Sometimes, the Aunt Liu he saw had four arms, sometimes six, or even more.

At most, Aunt Liu had ten arms.

Except for her two normal arms, the skin of the redundant arms is black and red, and her fingers are long and slender, but they look very stiff, as if they have been air-dried.

Speaking of which, Aunt Liu is the most kind-hearted person Mo Qingchu has ever met in his two lifetimes, and even gave him a sense of compassion like a Bodhisattva bowing his eyebrows.

Even when feeding the pigs, he felt that Aunt Liu was showing kindness and compassion.

If it weren't for the ferociousness of these extra arms, he would have thought that Aunt Liu in his eyes could be a thousand-handed Guanyin in the temple.

As for Han Bo, he looks like an ordinary villager, except that he has big bags under his eyes, heavy dark circles, and he is not particularly energetic. He is a bit like a person who rewards himself all the year round and indulges excessively.

In Mo Qingchu's eyes, all his teeth were silver, and both sides of his lips were a little cracked, as if the corners of his mouth had been cut by a knife, making the mouth even bigger - really bloody mouth.

In addition, his whole body is brass-colored.

If Aunt Liu is like a deformed female Bodhisattva, then he is like a golden Arhat with kidney deficiency.

When Mo Qingchu went to work in their house, his main task was to chop bones with a big knife.

In their special pig feed, they have to add finely chopped bones.

The boy didn't know what kind of bone it was, but he called it a hard bone because it was difficult to chop.

For him, going to the blacksmith Uncle Li's house to work is the most tiring thing in the village.Going to Aunt Liu and Han Bo's house was the second tiring task.

At this moment, Chen Yu ate five big meat buns in one go before stopping in satisfaction.

After eating, she asked, "Do they sell this pork? I want to take some back."

"Should it be sold?" Mo Qing said clearly.

"Then I'll buy some back and share with my classmates." She was a little articulate.

Time passed by a stick of incense, and Mo Qingchu's second medicinal bath was officially over.

This made Chen Yu couldn't help but decide: "I really met a freak."

"I didn't expect that the first time I performed the task of recruiting new masters, I still came to such a remote village, and there were still people who wanted to practice on their own initiative. I didn't waste my words, and I even recruited a little monster." Chen Yu thought.

"Among the new fellows who went down the mountain this time, I must have gained the most!"

"Well, Junior Brother Mo was brought back to the mountain by me, and he will be mine from now on!"

Mo Qingchu in the bathtub didn't know that the girl had already called her junior in her heart, and put her own label on him.

Now he only felt that the third medicated bath was completely different from the first two.

The headache got worse and worse, the forehead was no longer itchy, but extremely painful.

This reminded him of the black mist-like evil spirit.

When it touched his forehead, it was also the feeling of a splitting headache, the entire forehead seemed to be split.

Mo Qingchu, who couldn't bear it, couldn't help but groaned in pain.

Seeing this, Chen Yu also showed worry.

"What's going on, is this third medicated bath different from the first two?" She asked with concern.

Mo Qingchu shook his head, gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, I can still... I can still persist."

The girl looked at him, and saw that when he spoke, his facial muscles were twitching slightly.

Back then, she was yelling in pain while soaking in the medicinal bath.

"He can really bear it." The round-faced girl thought to herself.

As time passed by, the medicinal liquid in the wooden barrel gradually became clear again.

Chen Yu didn't dare to turn his back on him this time, for fear of accidents.

She just sat far away, trying her best to only see Mo Qingchu's head protruding from the barrel, and focused all her attention on his face.

Mo Qingchu's face was already pale.

Just when the medicinal liquid in the bucket completely turned into clear water, he trembled violently, and his bones all made noises.

The next moment, there was a bloodstain between his eyebrows, as if someone had cut him in the air.

Immediately afterwards, the bloodstain quickly healed on its own.

"It should be...it's over." The exhausted young man glanced down at the clear water in the bucket, and passed out immediately.

As soon as his body went limp, his mouth and nose were completely submerged in the water.

Seeing this, Chen Yu didn't care about the difference between men and women, so he hurried to find someone.

....
....
While in a coma, Mo Qingchu entered that weird dream again.

It was still the gray space that he was familiar with, but he didn't see the ancient bronze mirror that could talk.
