e demonic path.The demon way wielded both hands in a grasping seal, then thrust them forward with sudden force, only to pull them wide apart!The original empty sky was suddenly ripped open by a gaping...Wash the marrow and cut the meridians

Hearing this word that only appeared in martial arts novels, Ji Ruomei's face changed slightly, and she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

"Mr. Fang, how do I... cooperate with you" Ji Rumei asked timidly.

"You just need to endure a little pain, it won't be long." Fang Yu replied, "Come on, follow me."

After that, Fang Yu turned and walked toward the gate.

Ji Ru Mei clutched the secret manual of Tong Xuan Heart Method in her hands and quickly followed after him.

After leaving the library, Fang Yu brought Ji Rumei to the herb garden in the center of the manor.

"I'm going in to gather some herbs. You do whatever you like."

As he spoke, Fang Yu walked into the herb garden.

He wanted to find more than ten kinds of medicinal herbs and refine them into a decoction that could wash the marrow and cut through the meridians.

This is not some secret elixir, but a common marrow-cleansing formula in the ancient cultivation world.

Of course, in today's times... this recipe is still priceless.

For a physique like Ji Ru Mei's, who has never undergone cultivation, the effects of this marrow-washing medicinal formula would be fully realized.

From an ordinary mortal body, to a physique perfect for cultivation... the difference lies in this single dose of Marrow-Washing Formula.

"The herbs in this prescription aren't particularly rare... I should be able to find them all in my herb garden." Fang Yu walked deeper into the herb garden, picking any necessary herbs he saw.

During this process, Ji Rumei did not dare to wander around. She stayed in place, staring straight at Fang Yu who was picking herbs in the medicinal garden.

For some reason, this scene gave her a sense of déjà vu.

Just like there was once a time... she too stood there, quietly watching Fang Yu busy in the medicine garden.

However...in reality, she couldn't have had such an experience.

But this sense of déjà vu is not the first time it has appeared.

Therefore, Ji Rumei didn't mind and continued to stare at Fang Yu's back.

A gentle breeze blew, rustling the leaves of the grass and trees behind, making a soft whispering sound.

Fang Yu already had dozens of herbs in his hand, and he was still walking deep into the medicine garden.

Ji Ru Mei held the Tong Xuan Heart Method in both hands, her gaze never leaving Fang Yu.

At this moment, a gentle sense of contentment washed over her, a quiet happiness that spoke of peaceful times.

This feeling came on suddenly, even a bit inexplicably.

After all, she hadn't known Fang Yu for very long, only a little over two years.

Why...would there be this feeling of knowing something for a long time

"Oh, here I go again, overthinking..."

Ji Ru Mei lightly bit her red lips, raised her left hand, and gently tapped her smooth forehead.

Another ten minutes passed.

Fang Yu finally found and harvested all the needed herbs, returning to Ji Ruimei's presence.

"Let's go back to your room," Fang Yu said.

"Mr. Fang, these medicinal herbs are to be boiled into soup...and then drunk, right" Ji Rumei looked at Fang Yu's full load of herbs and asked with doubt.

"It does need to be brewed into a medicinal soup, but it's not meant for you to drink," Fang Yu said. "You just need to lie in the soup and soak for two hours. This prescription isn't for drinking, it's for a bath."

"A medicinal bath..." Ji Rumei's eyes widened. She had never tried a medicinal bath before.

"The process might be a little painful, you'll have to bear with it," Fang Yu reminded. "This medicine bath is extremely beneficial for you."

"Well, I'm not afraid of pain," Ji Ruomei said, taking a deep breath and speaking with determination.

Although she was a little nervous, she didn't want to give Fang Yu the impression that she was timid.

So, even if you're nervous, you have to pretend to be strong!

……

Back at Ji Ruimei's mansion, Fang Yu had Xiaofengling bring a large tub for a medicinal bath and placed it in the bathroom on the second floor.

Then, all those dozen or so herbs were thrown into the tank together, and water was used to fill the large tank.

Then, using true qi to power it, he began refining the medicinal broth.

The process of concocting medicinal soup is not long, only about half an hour.

And at this moment, the medicinal broth within the cauldron... has become pitch black.

"When the water cools down, you can go for a soak." Fang Yu turned to Ji Rumei who was standing in the distance and said.

Ji Rumei looked at the dark medicinal soup in the cauldron... her face wasn't looking too good.

After all, she's still a girl and cares about her appearance.

To soak in such a large vat of pitch-black medicine for two whole hours still takes some courage...

“Wait about twenty minutes, and you can get in. I'll have Shengxue come over to stay by your side,” Fang Yu said. “But remember, no matter how painful it is, you must soak for two full hours. You absolutely cannot get up early, otherwise… all your efforts will be wasted, and a lot of medicine will be wasted.”

"...I understand." Ji Ruomei nodded, replied.

After instructing Ji Ruomei, Fang Yu left the room and asked Ye Shengxue to assist her.

……

Twenty minutes later, Ji Rumei soaked herself in the medicine bath.

The moment skin came into contact with the pitch-black liquid, a searing pain shot through it.

It feels like a lot of tiny needles are piercing every pore in your skin, it's very uncomfortable.

Ji Ru Mei immediately gritted her teeth, trying hard not to make a sound.

However, this stinging sensation intensifies with the passage of time.

Even though she tried to hold back, Ji Ruomei couldn't help but let out a pained moan.

Ye Shengxue, who stood by the side, walked closer to the medicine vat and looked at Ji Rumei with concern.

"Miss Ji... please bear with it, I'll be right here beside you, calculating the time for you..." Ye Shengxue comforted softly, "You can try to distract yourself..."

Ji Ru Mei's face was pale, she nodded, gritting her teeth.

Since Fang Yu asked her to hold on for two hours, she had to endure it no matter what. Otherwise, not only would she waste Fang Yu's time, but also all those precious medicinal herbs!

The pain is intensifying, spreading throughout my entire body and showing no signs of abating.

By the time they reached the back, Ji Rumei's whole body was trembling, her cheeks flushed a sickly red.

Ye Shengxue stood beside her, able to only continuously soothe Ji Rumei's emotions.

Besides that, there's nothing else she can do.

And just like that, an hour passed...

During this time, Ji Rumei trembled violently, her cheeks flushed red as if they could bleed. At the most unbearable moment, she almost fainted.

However, she gritted her teeth and held on.

And after that critical hour-long period, the stinging sensation began to subside.

Ji Ruomei's expression eased considerably.

At this moment, her beautiful hair was drenched with sweat, and her stunning face was covered in a mixture of perspiration and tears.

"Miss Ji, are you feeling better" Ye Shengxue saw that Ji Rumei's expression had softened, and she also let out a sigh of relief.

Although Fang Yu said there wouldn't be any accidents, in the past ten minutes or so, she really felt that Ji Ruomei was about to collapse and faint...

Fortunately, the worst seems to be over now.

"I... I'm fine." Ji Rumei said weakly.

Although she felt weak all over at this moment, for some reason...she also had a feeling of lightness throughout her body.ited.""I really didn't make the first move. It was that San Ning Zhenren who attacked me... which led to this result." Fang Yu said helplessly."Since things have come to this, it's meaningless to disc...
