Marrow Washing

Zhou You, the author, was unaware of the uproar that his Thesis had caused.

He now only cares about one thing: the newly formulated potion, the final version of which is complete.

The results of the previous experiment on the monkey were generally considered successful; however, the monkey's "spirit" was not strong enough to suppress the expansion of the Three Corpses within its body.

But this problem did not bother Zhou You, as his Nature Skill had always been stronger than his Life Skill in this life.

After the experiment, he and Yue Guan made several adjustments to the drug formula, and through their joint efforts, they finally determined the final solution.

Using Whale Rubber as the main ingredient, supplemented with a large amount of aged medicinal herbs, and blended with some rare mineral components, he finally created three enhancement potions. Too lazy to bother with naming them, he simply named the three potions according to their numbers.

The medicine that strengthens the internal Zangfu is called [Marrow-Washing Liquid 01], the medicine that strengthens the tendons and bones is called [Marrow-Washing Liquid 02], and the medicine that strengthens the skin, flesh, and nervous system is called [Marrow-Washing Liquid 03]. These names are easy to remember.

After the potion was prepared, Zhou You took it directly and began the first stage of enhancement.

After taking it, there were no obvious changes in his appearance, but he could feel his internal organs moving slightly at all times, and he had a tingling and itchy feeling inside. His appetite also became much better than before.

In the past, he was a picky eater; after all, everyone has things they don't like to eat.

But after taking the medication, this never happened again. He not only became less picky about food, but even showed some appetite for raw or processed ingredients.

This is a phenomenon that I hadn't noticed before.

Zhou You quickly figured it out: his enhanced digestive ability meant he no longer had to eat only highly processed foods like ordinary people.

Modern science suggests that the advancement of human intelligence is achieved by sacrificing other bodily functions.

After all, thinking itself is a very energy-consuming activity, and the food and nutrients that living organisms can ingest are limited, as is their absorption capacity.

Therefore, in the process of evolution, humans sacrificed some digestive function and devoted more of the surplus energy to the brain. The weakened function was then compensated for by processing food externally.

This is the result of resource optimization.

Now, the Marrow-Washing Liquid 01 has restored his lost digestive abilities as a human, strengthening his organ functions by improving resource utilization, essentially returning the savage physique of ancient humans to him.

However, this also caused him to eat more, and ordinary ingredients could no longer meet his nutritional needs. He now eats four meals a day, and each meal is made with ingredients from Soul Beasts.

If it weren't for Yue Guan's immense wealth and full support, the Zhou Family, whose business had just begun to take off, might still be worried about being bankrupted by him...

Overall, however, things are progressing fairly smoothly.

About 20 days later, all three doses of medicine were absorbed, and Zhou You officially turned 7 years old. His height increased to 1.6 meters, making him stand out among his peers, almost as tall as Sun Chuantao.

When he met his friends again, he unsurprisingly gave them a shock.

"Holy crap! Who are you?!" Yan's reaction was the strongest.

Actually, he recognized Zhou You, since the latter had only grown taller and his face had become slightly thinner, but his appearance hadn't changed much, so he wasn't completely unrecognizable.

But he still refused to believe that the tall man in front of him was Zhou You.

Yan's height is considered tall for his age. He is only 8 years old and is already almost 1.5 meters tall. He used to be able to look down at Zhou You and feel secretly pleased.

I never imagined that after only a few days, he would already have to look up to his boss in every aspect.

"Boss? Is it really you?" Yan moved closer, still not believing it, then silently pulled back.

Damn, he really is quite a bit taller than me!

He said dejectedly, "Boss, what medicine have you been taking lately? Why are you growing so fast..."

Zhou You instinctively wanted to flick him on the head, but then remembered that he was much stronger now, so he stopped himself in time.

He was already quite strong, stronger than most adult Soul Grandmaster, and now, after another buff, his pure physical strength has increased even more.

Before leaving home today, he almost pulled the doorknob off, which shows that he hasn't fully adapted to the strength requirements yet.

Others gathered around, marveling at him.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Hu Liena secretly touched him all over, though it was just a fleeting touch, he still sensed it.

"Is this... normal?" Xie Yue was also puzzled. Wasn't this growth rate a bit unscientific?

"Want some? You can have some too," Zhou You said casually.

He didn't intend to hide the prescription, and in fact, he couldn't hide it anyway, as Yue Guan already knew the specific formula. Apart from the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue, which was not easy to obtain, the other auxiliary ingredients were relatively easy to acquire.

Therefore, it is certain that this Golden Generation, who will represent the Spirit Hall in the Soul Master Tournament in the future, will definitely enjoy this benefit.

Fortunately, they hadn't obtained their third Soul Ring yet, otherwise they would have missed their only chance to strengthen themselves in this lifetime.

Although Zhou You has improved the potion and enhanced the effects of the Whale Rubber, the two problems of "it can only be enhanced once in a lifetime" and "absorption efficiency is extremely low for those below the third ring of Soul Master" still cannot be solved.

However, considering that Whale Rubber itself is also very rare, and only a few people are destined to be able to enjoy the Marrow Cleansing Liquid, he had little motivation to further improve the potion.

Zhou You told everyone about the medicine he had taken and its effects, and as expected, it piqued the interest of several people.

"Wow, boss, why didn't you think of me when this happened?" Yan exclaimed in anguish, "I'm your most loyal little brother!"

Li Kai couldn't stand his shameless behavior and sneered, "You look like a dog!"

Xie Yue and Hu Liena looked at him at the same time, their eyes filled with disbelief.

No, bro, have you always been this brave?

If Li Kai could beat him, that would be one thing, but this guy is clearly no match for Yan! He was almost beaten half to death last time, and now he still dares to provoke him, and even curses so bluntly.

Don't you want to live anymore?

Xie Yue began to suspect that this guy might have something wrong with his head. Why was he so eager to die?

Sure enough, the next moment Yan flew into a rage. "What the hell did you say? Are you itching for a beating again?"

Li Kai didn't back down this time either, and retorted sharply, "What did I say wrong? You're just like a dog!"

That's just the kind of person he is. Even if you beat someone badly, they won't submit to someone who doesn't agree with you.

"You fucking court death!" Yan's face was contorted with rage as he lunged at Li Kai, ready to beat the guy until his face was covered in bruises.

This time, Li Kai learned from his mistake and immediately dodged Xu Yu's grab, rushing towards Yan.

What a "Humanoid Honey Badger"! His performance is as consistent as ever!

However, this also shows that during this period, Xie Yue still hadn't resolved the issue of team cohesion between the two teams.

Without a second thought, Zhou You moved with lightning speed, grabbing Yan and Li Kai by the neck with one hand each. With a quick squeeze, the two lost all strength and could only struggle helplessly.
