The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

Zeng Wenyu returned to the tent while the training of the new recruits was still underway. His body had already been checked by Elder Hua who was sent by the City Lord's Mansion. Since he had nothing to worry about, he might as well take this opportunity to continue his practice. It was almost evening when he heard the commotion outside the tent. He stopped practicing and lay on the bed to continue his "injured" state.

The door curtain of the tent was lifted, and Huo Xiang came in from outside carrying a bowl of food. This was the meal for him. He was quite touched that he had a roommate who cared about him so much. Although this roommate relationship might end tonight, it did not affect his gratitude to Huo Xiang.

"Brother Gao, how are you? What General Hua said on the training ground before couldn't be true? Is your Dantian really broken?" Handing the food in her hand to Zeng Wenyu, Huo Xiang asked him anxiously.

"Yes, my Dantian is indeed broken. The city lord has sent someone to check my body. He said that unless there is a powerful person who can help me repair my Dantian or there is a spiritual medicine above the third level, I will never be able to practice Qi in this life."

Zeng Wenyu's words made Huo Xiang's expression dim. He knew that this incident would be a heavy blow to anyone. Looking at Zeng Wenyu lying on the bed, his eyes began to turn red and tears accumulated in his eye sockets.

"Hey, hey, hey? Don't cry! How can a grown man cry when hearing about this? You see, I don't think there is anything wrong with this. Anyway, I prefer physical training. If the path of Qi training is blocked, I can still train my body!"

Zeng Wenyu's words made Huo Xiang burst into tears. He wiped away the tears that had already flowed out of his eyes with his hands: "Who? Who is crying? I just got sand in my eyes. It's all because of this shabby tent!"

"Hahahaha, I'm glad you didn't cry. But Xiao Huo, I may not be able to live here with you from now on. General Hua said he would take me to the Third Army."

"The Third Army?" Huo Xiang frowned. "Aren't all the soldiers in the Third Army female? Why would they take a man like you to the Third Army?"

"She said female soldiers are good at taking care of people. General Li asked me to join the Second Army, but she refused. You know, soldiers like us don't have the opportunity to choose."

"Okay, but Brother Gao, don't give up practicing after you get there. Although the achievements in body training are not that high and it is very difficult, I believe you can do it!"

"Well, then I'll take your good words. By the way," Zeng Wenyu took out a bunch of intermediate-level body-refining herbs from his storage bag and stuffed them into Huo Xiang's hand. "These herbs are for you. You have a high talent in body-refining. These are provided by me as a gift of friendship. When you have achieved success in your cultivation in the future, don't forget that you have a friend like me. Maybe you will be able to repair my Dantian in the future!"

"I..." Huo Xiang wanted to refuse, but when she saw Zeng Wenyu took out a bunch of herbs from his storage bag, she accepted the herbs he stuffed into her. "Don't worry! I can definitely become a powerful person. When the time comes, I promise to help you heal your Dantian!"

The two were chatting happily when Guo Tie's voice came from outside the tent. He came to pick up Zeng Wenyu to the Third Army. Zeng Wenyu had already packed his things and left the tent with Guo Tie under Huo Xiang's reluctant look.

"Brother Gao, is your Dantian really broken?"

Zeng Wenyu was a little speechless. Everyone who came here would ask him this question, right? The key is to ask, why do you always look at him with such regretful eyes? However, he knew that these people were concerned about him, so he could only repeat to Guo Tie what he had said to Huo Xiang before. Unlike Huo Xiang, Guo Tie patted Zeng Wenyu on the shoulder after listening to his words and did not say much, but took him to the barracks of the Third Army.

After taking him to the Third Army's barracks, Guo Tie left. He seemed to be very curious about a man like him who was going to join the Third Army. He saw many female soldiers in training looking at him sideways. Being stared at by so many people, he suddenly felt that he might be entering a den of wolves.

Just as Zeng Wenyu was considering whether to say hello to the female soldiers in the camp, a female soldier who looked to be of a high rank walked out of the camp and said, "You are the Gao Yi that Sister Hua mentioned who is going to join our Third Army, right?"

"Yes sister, I am Gao Yi!"

The female soldier looked Zeng Wenyu up and down and said, "Not bad, he has a good physique, but unfortunately he looks ordinary, not my type."

"Um... Sister, look carefully. There are so few men as handsome as me. How dare you say that I look ordinary?"

"Yes, I am quite ordinary. I am not as handsome as General Zhang of the First Army and General Li of the Second Army when they were young. By the way, don't keep calling me sister. My name is Hua Nongyu, and I am Sister Hua's personal soldier. You can call me Hua Nongyu or Commander Hua in the future."

Looking at the serious Hua Nongyu in front of him, Zeng Wenyu knew that she was not someone who liked to tease people like Hua Wuyue: "Okay, Chief Hua! I'm Gao Yi, a new soldier, reporting to the Third Army!"

"Well, that's good. Come in with me."

Hua Nongyu took him along the main road in the camp all the way to the main tent. She asked Zeng Wenyu to wait outside the main tent while she went in and reported it first. After she came out of the main tent, she did not let Zeng Wenyu enter the main tent, but took him to a tent next to the main tent.

"Sister Hua said that you will live here from now on," Hua Nongyu pointed at a gray tent in front of her, "In order to distinguish your tent from the tents of other sisters, your tent was specially painted gray."

"Okay, Commander Hua! I will never go to the wrong tent!"

"Oh, it's okay if you went to the wrong tent. The sisters in the barracks won't blame you for going to the wrong tent. But if you really go to the wrong tent, you can't blame the sisters in the tent for anything that happens afterwards. The sisters train every day and it's hard for them to see a man once. If you deliver yourself to them, you will bear the consequences yourself!"

Zeng Wenyu swallowed hard and felt like he had really walked into a den of wolves. With his small body and looking at the female soldiers in the camp who were eyeing him covetously, he felt that boys should still protect themselves.

"Your daily necessities are all in the tent. There is no men's bathhouse here. If you want to take a shower, it's best to fetch water and wash in your own tent. As for the toilet, a men's toilet will be arranged for you later. For the next two days, you can only stay in the tent or outside the camp. That's all I have to tell you. Sister Hua said she will come over later to take you to the City Lord's Mansion. You should rest in the tent first and don't walk around."
