"What a strong medicinal aroma. You can't go wrong with this taste. This medicine must be high-end!" A skinny, hunched-backed old man wearing a gray robe and holding a simple wooden staff stood in front of the gate of Shen Mansion. .
The old man walked to the door with a hunched back, and drew a strong wind with his palm. The door of Shen's house opened automatically, and the old man entered Shen's house calmly and calmly.
No matter whether it is a servant or a maid, as long as they meet the old man, they will fall asleep.
The old man slowly walked to where Shen Li was.
"The time is up, the medicine is ready!" Shen Li, wearing thick gloves on his hands, happily picked up the medicine pot and walked into the room. When he walked to the front of the house, a gust of wind suddenly hit him. The door that was originally open was closed suddenly, causing Shen Li almost hit the door.
"Damn it! Where did the evil wind come from!" Shen Li put the medicine pot on the ground and prepared to open the door.
"Boy, if you offer me the high-grade elixir, I will spare your life." The hunched-backed old man appeared like a ghost four or five meters behind Shen Li.
Shen Li turned around and said, "Where did you come from, this arrogant old man? This medicine belongs to me, why do you want me to give it to you?"
"That's all!" The arch-backed old man stretched out one hand, sucked Shen Li over and pinched Shen Li's neck.
"Zhuzi, you are seeking death!" The hunched-back old man put more force on his hands, trying to strangle Shen Li to death.
Shen Li pinched the hunched old man until he couldn't breathe, couldn't make a sound, couldn't call for help, and saw his life hanging by a thread. Shen Li's body instinctively mobilized the weak internal force in his Dantian, and activated the newly learned "Guiyuan Absorbing Star" 》Gongfa.
The old man suddenly felt that his body's true energy was rapidly draining away, and he could no longer hold Shen Li's hand with any strength.
"What?" The arch-backed old man wanted to let go of Shen Li's hand, but he couldn't let go. His whole body even stopped obeying his orders and he could only maintain this action.
The two of them maintained the posture of the old man hunching his back and pinching Shen Li with one hand. It took about five minutes before they released this posture.
As soon as the "Return to Origin Absorbing Stars" technique was terminated, Shen Li's face turned red, and he squatted down and coughed, holding his stomach with both hands. "Cough! Cough! You old man, I have no grudges with you in the past, and I have no grudges recently. What a dirty trick. !”
"What did you do to me? You ruined my cultivation!" The hunched-back old man hit Shen Li on the head with a wooden stick.
Shen Li quickly dodged, and the hunched-back old man held a stick in both hands and chased Shen Li all over the yard. After chasing for a while, the hunched-back old man was out of breath and couldn't run anymore, but Shen Li was still full of energy.
"You old man, look for a fight!" Shen Li found a wooden stick from somewhere. Instead of dodging, he turned around and hit the hunched old man.
The hunched old man also held a wooden staff to attack.
"Someone is beating the young master, come and help." The servant who had fainted had already woken up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the hunched old man and Shen Li fighting.
Whether they were women or cooks, they all came with brooms, mops and other weapons, and together they subdued the hunched old man.
The second aunt, who was holding a feather duster, was beating and scolding: "Where did you come from? Do you dare to come to Shen's house and act wild?"
Everyone from the Shen family, young and old, who were at home, came to the courtyard one after another.
"Son, are you okay? Who is this old man who beat you?" Shen Wande asked.
"I don't know either. I'll tie him up first. If that doesn't work, I'll send him to the government. I still have something to do. Father, you can take care of it!"
After Shen Li said that, he quickly walked towards his house.
"Fortunately, my baby is still here." Shen Li picked up the still warm medicine pot, entered the room, and immediately poured the black liquid and medicine residue in the medicine pot into the prepared bathtub.
"The water in the bathtub is a little cold, it's all because of this smelly old man!" Shen Li took off his clothes, got into the bathtub, made a meditating posture in the water, closed his eyes and started playing "Returning to the Origin and Absorbing Stars", Shen Li It was obvious that the pores all over my body were open, and my body was greedily absorbing the medicinal power of the black-gray bath water.
Two hours later, Shen Li opened his eyes. The black-gray bath water had turned into a yellow mud color, and the strong medicinal fragrance had turned into a sour smell.
After Shen Li took a bath again with clean water, he enjoyed feeling the changes in his body.
Shen Li found that first of all, his five senses were more sensitive, and he even had a vague sixth sense. He could now easily detect the slightest movement a few hundred meters away. As long as he wanted to hear, he could even hear the whispers of two people a hundred meters away. He could hear it clearly, and Shen Li sensed that the hunched old man who had snatched his medicine today was tied up in the woodshed.
Secondly, I feel that my body's flexibility and strength have improved a lot. I can do pirouettes, forward rolls, and back rolls at will. This was something that my sickly body could not do before. Now my strength is far beyond the limit. When I was in the special forces, I should be able to lift several hundred kilograms of objects, although I have never tried it.
"By the way, let's go find Master." Shen Li put on a black suit and jumped out of the courtyard wall lightly.
“This feels so good!”
It was late at night, and Shen Li kept walking back and forth on the streets and rooftops, as if he was a night man in a costume movie.
Shen Li arrived at the martial arts hall and saw Tang Qingshan waiting for him.
"Master, the medicine you gave me is so good, it's like a miracle medicine!" Shen Li said after giving Tang Qingshan a fist-cup salute.
"That old man is an immortal cultivator." Tang Qingshan did not answer Shen Li's words, but mentioned the old man with a bowed back.
"Oh, that hunchbacked old man? He still wants to steal my medicine." Shen Li said.
"When he appeared at your door, I was paying attention to him. I was afraid that he would kill you to get the medicine." Tang Qingshan said.
"Although that old man is an immortal cultivator, his strength is rubbish," Shen Li said.
"The strength is indeed not that great. He is nearly a hundred years old and is only in the late stage of foundation building." Tang Qingshan said disdainfully.
"Master, how are the strengths of immortal cultivators divided?" Shen Li asked.
"You don't need to know about Qi training, foundation building, golden elixir, Yuanying, and god transformation." Tang Qingshan said calmly.
"Oh, then what stage am I equivalent to as an immortal cultivator now?" Shen Li asked.
"It's probably the Qi training period!"
"This old man in the late stage of foundation building was actually subdued by me and my family, and he is still tied up in my woodshed, shouldn't he?" Shen Li was a little confused.
"Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? You have absorbed all his true energy, and now he is an ordinary person with spiritual roots, not even as good as a person in the Qi training stage!" Tang Qingshan said irritably.
"So that's what happened. When he was strangling my neck, my body automatically activated the power and sucked his true energy." Shen Li understood.
"If you are in the Foundation Establishment stage, just suck it. If you suck the golden elixir occasionally, it will be fine. If you are in the Nascent Soul stage, don't suck it. You can't bear it with your current cultivation level. True energy cannot be directly converted into internal force, and It is equivalent to a high-end nutritional supplement, and eating too much of it will harm your body." Tang Qingshan explained.
"If we use the true essence they have cultivated so hard as a tonic, wouldn't the immortal cultivators be very hostile to us?"
"That's for sure. Try not to reveal that you are a martial arts cultivator. I usually don't dare to suck them. Immortal cultivators all live in nests. They fight the small ones to get the big ones, and the big ones to get the old ones. , beating the old man and bringing in antiques, difficult to deal with!" Tang Qingshan said.
"Then what should I do with this hunchbacked old man, Master? Or kill him and silence him?" Shen Li asked.
"It's up to you. According to my inference, this person is a casual cultivator. If he is in the sect, he is at least the middle to late stage of Jindan. When you have nothing to do, you can use the "Returning to Origin Absorbing Star" technique to absorb the nourishment of spiritual energy between heaven and earth. Internal strength is enough. Practice "Wudi Fist". In fact, "Wudi Fist" is the top level of martial arts.
"Yes! Master." Shen Li replied.
"I'm going on a long trip tomorrow and I'll be back in two or three months at the earliest. I gave this Najie to you. There are a few books in it. You can read it."
