Siheyuan, my new life

According to Master Qinglian, the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts" is divided into nine levels. The first three levels are the entry stage, also known as the "copper skin and iron bones realm"; the fourth to sixth levels are the minor success stage, also known as the "ice skin and jade skin realm"; the seventh to ninth levels are the major success stage, also known as the "Vajra Indestructible Realm".

According to legend, this "Eight-Nine Mysterious Skills" came from the upper realm. A great man who had ascended to the upper realm got a great opportunity in the upper realm. He joined a large sect and became a true disciple within a thousand years. This man secretly gave this body-refining skill obtained from the sect to his family through a one-way transmission array. After this family got the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Skills", more than a dozen famous young masters emerged in a very short period of time, causing quite a stir for a while.

Apparently, this family was too ostentatious, which led to a sudden disaster. After all, the principle of "a man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure" is eternal. Someone got the news of "Eight-Nine Mysterious Art" from a descendant of the family. Not long after, on a night with high winds and dark moon, the family was uprooted by a group of masked men, and all the family members were killed without leaving a single survivor. At the same time, the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Art" was also leaked. Many cultivators tried every means to get it and began to practice it eagerly, but soon they had no choice but to give up. The reason is very simple. Practicing "Eight-Nine Mysterious Art" requires taking a medicinal bath at the same time, but most of the spiritual herbs needed for the medicinal bath are extremely precious. It is said that it takes thousands of spiritual stones to configure the spiritual herbs for a medicinal bath. Even if ordinary cultivators can barely gather enough spiritual herbs for one or two medicinal baths, they cannot afford the resources afterwards.

However, there are also some powerful cultivation families and large sects that have spent a lot of resources to train several core disciples to practice the "Eight-Nine Profound Art" and achieve success.

It is said that as long as one cultivates to the minor success stage, that is, the "Ice Skin and Jade Skin Realm", one can be resurrected with a drop of blood. The cultivators who have cultivated to the "Ice Skin and Jade Skin Realm" store a drop of their own blood in a jade bottle in advance. Once the physical body is destroyed by an accident, the soul can attach to the blood in the jade bottle to be resurrected and cultivate again.

At this time, as Zhou Tian and others stirred the liquid in the jade barrel, the color of the liquid gradually changed, from the original light green color of the spiritual spring water to light green, dark green, and dark green. The three of them stopped their actions only after all the spiritual herbs previously invested were dissolved.

Zhou Tian walked up to Lin Yu, who was sitting on the Chaos Lotus Platform, and said respectfully, "Master, the medicinal bath is ready."

Lin Yu stood up and walked down the lotus platform, taking off all his clothes as he walked, then entered the jade barrel directly. Immediately, the liquid with a strong medicinal fragrance reached his neck.

Without any hesitation, Lin Yu began to practice the first level of the "Eight-Nine Profound Art". All of a sudden, all the skin on his body seemed to be pierced by countless steel needles at the same time. The severe pains almost made Lin Yu faint. He gritted his teeth and continued to practice the art regardless. Along with the severe pain, streams of heat rushed into his body, flowing through the meridians throughout the body, and finally slowly merged into the skin and bones.

As time passed, the color of the liquid in the jade bucket turned into clear water, and the original pain and heat flow disappeared at the same time. Lin Yu continued to practice the mental method before stepping out of the jade bucket. He couldn't control the sudden surge of power for a while, so he could only take the towel from Zhou Tian's hand, wipe his body briefly, put on his clothes carefully, walked out of the practice room in an extremely unnatural way, and then ran around the palace.

Lin Yu sighed as he ran. It is said that only those who endure hardships can become the best. Although he had prepared himself mentally before the first medicinal bath, the pain that penetrated deep into his bones almost made him break his teeth. However, the effect of the medicinal bath was indeed good. At least now his strength has increased by more than ten times compared to before. However, he also knew that this was the first time that the medicinal bath had such a significant increase. The main reason was that his body was too weak before. Although it was much stronger than his peers, it was probably not even as strong as a child in the world of cultivation.

Lin Yu ran for dozens of laps until Zhou Huang reminded him that it was time to go to the canteen for dinner, then he stopped.

Taking Zhou Huang back to Villa No. 12, Lin Yu looked at his watch. It was already past six in the evening. He first walked into the bathroom, picked up the mirror that was originally placed next to the washbasin, and carefully checked himself up and down. He found that except for his face being a little thinner, there was no other obvious change in his appearance. Only then did he feel relieved and walked out.

In fact, not only his face was a little thin, Lin Yu had already discovered in the paradise that his muscles had become much stronger, and his whole body was full of endless strength.

While greeting the "fellow patients" he knew, Lin Yu walked into the small cafeteria. The three or four "fellow patients" he met along the way were all senior officers in the army, including Commander Han who lived in Villa No. 6 and Deputy Commander Zhang who lived in Villa No. 9. In front of these military seniors, Lin Yu was definitely a junior. I'm afraid these people joined the revolution at a time close to Lin Yu's age.

After eating three big meat buns and a bowl of millet porridge, Lin Yu knew he couldn't continue eating here, even though he was still hungry. He picked up the bowl and chopsticks and washed them under the tap. After putting them away, he said hello to several "patients" who were eating and walked out of the canteen. Since the first time he came to the canteen to eat, he insisted on washing the tableware he used, which was also a habit he developed in the army.

After returning to Villa No. 12, Lin Yu took Zhou Huang directly back to the paradise. He first ran to the palace warehouse, took a Qiankun bag from the antique shelf marked "Bald Eagle Supplies", and walked into his rest area.

If there is one place in the entire palace that Lin Yu is most satisfied with, it is the rest area with obvious oriental decorative style of the Blue Star plane world.

The desk, antique shelf, official hat chair, Eight Immortals table, Arhat bed, a whole set of Ming and Qing style furniture, all made of high-grade spiritual wood, and Qinglian also set up reinforcement formations on all the furniture. The whole rest area is filled with a faint fragrance.

Lin Yu sat down on the Arhat bed, took out a bunch of chocolates and canned beef from his Qiankun bag, and then started to eat them. He first ate six palm-sized chocolates in one breath, and then ate two cans of beef. However, the hunger in his stomach did not disappear. He just picked up another piece of chocolate when Zhou Huang, who had been with him, hesitated and said, "Master, you are now a cultivator who has begun to practice. These mortal foods do not have a trace of spiritual energy and cannot provide the energy your body needs. I will go get a low-level monster and prepare barbecue for you. You can take a fasting pill first, and I will be back soon." After seeing Lin Yu nod, he left quickly.

After listening to Zhou Huang's words, Lin Yu realized that from the moment he started practicing, he had already left the category of ordinary people. It seemed that he still had not adapted to his current identity. He cursed inwardly that he had a pig brain. The food that could fill the stomachs of ordinary people did not have any spiritual energy at all. How could it possibly meet the needs of cultivators?

He stood up, carrying the Qiankun bag back to the warehouse, and casually threw it on the antique shelf marked "Bald Eagle Military Supplies". Then he glanced around and found the target he was looking for in a row of lockers on the left. He walked over and opened the locker with the sign "Body Refining Stage Bigu Pills", which was filled with three-inch high small jade bottles. He reached out and grabbed two bottles, closed the locker, turned around and left the warehouse.

Back in the rest area, Lin Yu opened the jade bottle, poured out a milky white fasting pill and threw it directly into his mouth. Immediately, the pill turned into a warm current and flowed into his stomach. In an instant, the feeling of hunger disappeared.

Lin Yu fiddled with the jade bottle in his hand and secretly sighed, it was worthy of being a fasting pill specially provided for cultivators. A pill only the size of a peanut could actually meet the food needs of a cultivator for six or seven days. Especially the one he had just taken was a top-grade fasting pill, and its efficacy was five or six times that of an ordinary fasting pill.

Fasting Pills are a must-have item for low-level cultivators in the world of cultivation at home or traveling. Although Fasting Pills can only meet the daily consumption of the cultivator's body, if a cultivator wants to improve his cultivation, he still mainly relies on absorbing spiritual power from spirit stones and taking pills. There are also cultivators who directly eat monster meat, spiritual herbs and other foods containing spiritual energy, absorb and refine the spiritual energy therein to achieve the purpose of improving their own cultivation.

Fasting Pills are a must-have for low- and middle-level monks who are in seclusion for cultivation. You must know that a monk's seclusion can be as short as a few days, as long as a few months or even years. Without Fasting Pills to fill their stomachs, the monks in seclusion will probably starve to death.

He was no longer hungry. Lin Yu remembered Zhou Huang's performance just now and couldn't help feeling secretly proud. Ever since he used his own blood essence to make the ten puppets recognize their master doubly, the changes in these puppets were almost visible to the naked eye. Not only did they look at him more eagerly, but they were also able to take the initiative to check for omissions and properly handle all matters, big and small, in this blessed land.

You have to know that although these high-level puppets have high intelligence, they could only follow their own instructions. Lin Yu, a novice in cultivation, had no experience in cultivation. Although Master Qinglian had taught him a lot of cultivation knowledge in the past two or three years, Master Qinglian's level was too high, and due to time constraints, he could only teach him some issues that needed to be paid attention to after advancing to the Saint level. As for the cultivation from body refining to the Saint level, Lin Yu could only look up various secret books and slowly explore by himself.

Qinglian had a mysterious confidence in her beloved disciple. In all the long years she had experienced, she had never seen a creature with such extraordinary talent. Therefore, she firmly believed that with the massive resources she had prepared for him and the various classics piled up like a mountain, Lin Yu would be able to successfully advance to the Saint level.

This also caused Lin Yu to be in a dilemma of sitting on a mountain of gold but not knowing it. Fortunately, these high-level puppets are now able to take the initiative to provide some help, which is also a blessing for Lin Yu.

Lin Yu had also carefully considered the changes in these high-level puppets. Although they all used dual recognition of the master, the changes in these ten puppets were obviously greater than those of the other dozens. After thinking carefully, Lin Yu came to the conclusion that these ten puppets were comprehending the visualization picture every day.
