NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 11: Training and preparation
"This earth core tempering milk needs to be diluted before using it. I should go to the market to buy some auxiliary materials. Well i can't buy those from the old shop worked before, it is better to visit the mercenary's market near the beast mountains."
Xiao xuan walked towards the mercenary market near beast mountains.
He strolled around the market buying the auxillary materials from different stalls in different places to avoid covetnous. After a while he saw a yellow lotus essence with a hint of red on it ,among a batch of some low end medicinal materials near a stall. Although this yellow lotus essence is covered with a bit of dust, he recognized it as the blood lotus essence in his memory.
"Boss how do you sell this yellow lotus essence"
After maintaining a calm face xiao xuan walked towards the stall and while picking up the blood lotus essence he asked the mercenery.
"50 gold coins" after seeing the boy in front of him was picking up low grade herb, the mercenary lost interest and said lazely.
Xiao xuan took out some money from his pocket, counted and gave 50 gold coins to the mercenary. He picked up the blood lotus essence and walked away.
"Hehe i picked up a good bargain this time. Not only i bought a yellow lotus essence half the price that is sold in normal medicine shop, but this thing is the blood lotus essence which is used in refining the 5th grade elixir and its real market price is atleast one hundred thousand gold coins." Xiao xuan grinned while eating candied haws, he walked towards his house to make preparations for his practice.
After arriving his home xiao xuan took out a medium sized wooden barrel filled with water completely. He put a drop of earth core tempering milk into it. The water turned milky white with a strong fragrance that faintly emmit several colours. One slight smell can freshen one's mind.
"Well it cannot be still used by me with my current strength. This thing should be diluted a bit more."
Xiao xuan took out a large barrel full of water this time and added a few drops from the previouly diluted earth core tempering milk into it. Seeing that there was no other problem, he added the auxilary material one by one and finally took off his clothes and jumped right into it.
When soaking in the bathtub xiao xuan felt a warm feeling throughout his body. He quickly entered the meditation stage and started to rfine the earth core tempering milk. He didn't felt any pain as expected but a warm current entering throughout his body nourishing and strengthening his muscles and bones. At the same time increasing his dou qi absorption speed.
"This earth core tempering milk is worthy of being condensed by the energy of earth for a thousand years. Just an extremely diluted earth core milk can have such an effect."
"However the absorption is much more easier than i expected, could it be because i diluted it too much. I should add a bit more of it." After muttering to himself xiao xuan added a bit more of the diluted earth core milk into the water basin.
"Oh yess, that's the feeling " xiao xuan after feeling the energy current in his body couldn't help but make a comfortable sound.
After a while xiao xuan woke up from his practice with his face full of smiles. He looked at the wooden barrel and saw that the colour of the liquid had turned into that of a normal water.
"Hehe the results are so gratifying, the volume of dou qi has increased significantly, not to mention that my meridians have grown tougher and a bit wider. It is almost catching up with an ordinary fighter."
" It seems that i was right about choosing the earth core tempering milk from the simulation." Xiao xuan couldn't help but grin when he thought of this.
After that he got out from his tub wiping his body with towel and put on some clothes to went into kitchen made something to eat. After the meal he went to sleep at night.
The next day.
Xiao xuan was doing his daily exercise routine. Although he didn't get any fighting skills from the simulation, he was able to get the life experience until dou wang stage. During daily workout he also performed many comat skills like punching, kicking, stabing etc from his simulation experience to get his body to adapt to it in advance.
"Whew, the workout session is over now, it is now time for me to soak in the medicinal bath" xiao xuan let out a breath and started soaking in the basin with the diluted earth core milk relieving his fatigue.
This was xiao xuan's daily routine from now on, except for the occasional visit to the market to buy some daily necessities and auxilary materials for the bath. Ofcourse he also went out for some occasional fun and to eat some candied haws.
