This water vat weighs at least two hundred pounds! No matter how much Lu Yang liked playing in the mountains since he was a child, able to climb trees, go down rivers, catch birds, and fish, he couldn't lift a water vat of this weight.
Yun Zhi casually drew a talisman on the water vat, and its weight sharply decreased, reaching the point where Lu Yang could just barely lift it with one hand.
She took out a puppet to supervise Lu Yang.
"Carry it for a day first and see the effect."
Yun Zhi left those nonchalant words and disappeared into the clouds. Lu Yang and the puppet stared at each other, and he sighed, tied his upper garment around his waist, and began his miserable life of carrying the vat.
The puppet supervised him from the side, and as soon as Lu Yang rested for a moment, it immediately made him continue carrying the vat, squeezing out every bit of his strength.
When his arms really had no strength, the puppet would feed him two Great Replenishment Pills. When his arms were sore and he couldn't move, the puppet would feed him two Great Replenishment Pills. When Lu Yang was so sleepy he wanted to sleep, the puppet would feed him two Great Replenishment Pills...
After a day, Lu Yang's legs were shaking, his arms were drooping, and he couldn't feel the existence of his arms at all. His body swayed to the left, and his left arm swung like a pendulum. His body swayed to the right, and his right arm also swung, and then he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
The puppet, as usual, force-fed him two Great Replenishment Pills. Seeing that Lu Yang had no reaction, it had no choice but to end the day's training, found a small cart, used the cart to push Lu Yang back, and conveniently covered him with a straw mat.
Smelling the aroma of food, Lu Yang's body reacted and began to drool, and his consciousness gradually woke up.
Finally, he could eat. Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. If he couldn't eat, he would have thought that he hadn't joined an Immortal's sect, but had committed a heinous crime and was locked in a water prison to be tortured.
Having joined the Sect Master's sect, he didn't have to worry about food. He didn't have to take Grain Abstinence Pills every day. All kinds of unknown and rare ingredients were made into delicious delicacies, silently improving Lu Yang's body.
Lu Yang still couldn't lift his arms, and the puppet fed him the whole time.
After the meal, Yun Zhi boiled a large pot of Body Tempering Potion and had Lu Yang bathe in it. Lu Yang smelled the Spiritual Medicine scent permeating the air and almost fell over.
"Take this." Yun Zhi handed Lu Yang a hollow reed pipe.
"What's this?"
"When soaking in the Body Tempering Potion, you have to soak your whole body. Your head will definitely be exposed when you take a bath. Later, you bite on the reed pipe, immerse your head in the water, and use the reed pipe to breathe."
Lu Yang felt that she truly was the Senior Disciple Sister, so thoughtful. Although she was torturing him, it was for his own good.
After Yun Zhi left, Lu Yang stripped naked, bit the reed pipe, and jumped into the wooden barrel with a plop, and then came a heart-wrenching pig-slaughtering sound.
"Senior Disciple Sister, are you using boiling water to bathe?!"
Yun Zhi came to the small courtyard. A breeze blew through, scattering the scent of the medicinal bath that remained on her body. She began to think about what else she hadn't considered.
She grew up in the Immortal's Grotto-Heaven, and the people she came into contact with were all cultivators. Later, she joined the Dao Seeking Sect and focused on cultivation, rarely getting involved in the mortal world, so she knew very little about mortals.
In order to teach Lu Yang, she specially found many books describing mortals. While Lu Yang was learning about cultivation common sense, she was also learning about mortal common sense.
However, it was clear that the books describing mortals did not write about the temperature of bathwater for mortals.
Hearing Lu Yang's hoarse shouts, Yun Zhi thought for a while. It was too late to cool the water now, so, in that case, she could only...
Yun Zhi took out a bottle of burn medicine from her sleeve, placed it at the door, and knocked on the door.
"Junior Brother, I've put the burn medicine at the door, remember to use it."
After a period of time, with the help of forced tireless cultivation, spirit beast meat, and special medicinal baths, Lu Yang finally grew from an unremarkable mortal with scalded and peeling skin into an excellent folk artist who was good at playing with vats.
Three two-hundred-pound water vats were thrown around by Lu Yang like sandbags, forming an arc in the air.
At the same time, Lu Yang could also step on the edge of the water vat and walk the Eight Trigrams steps in circles, as if walking on flat ground.
He could even lay the water vat down and stand firmly on the rolling water vat, and still have the strength to play with the other three water vats!
With this one skill alone, he could attract cheers on the street!
"Not bad, the Body Tempering progress is a bit faster than I expected." Yun Zhi clapped her hands lightly, giving Lu Yang great confidence.
Don't think that Yun Zhi rarely shows her face, in fact, she has always been paying attention to Lu Yang's progress.
"Can I cultivate now?" Lu Yang put down the vat and asked with great interest, quietly waiting for the result, not even breathing loudly.
During his Body Tempering period, Meng Jingzhou had looked for him, but after saying a few words, he was driven away by the puppet.
He heard that Meng Jingzhou, Man Gu, and others of the same period as him had already achieved Qi Induction and become true cultivators, meditating and cultivating every day, detached from the world, and only he himself was still bitterly Body Tempering, which made him somewhat anxious, feeling that he was too far behind, and the psychological gap was too great.
Yun Zhi didn't answer, and took out a piece of tofu from her storage space. The tofu was extremely soft, trembling in Yun Zhi's fair palm, like a balloon filled with water.
"Palm down, grab it."
Lu Yang didn't think this was difficult, and obediently did so, grabbing the tofu, but his fingers moved slightly, and the tofu was crushed by him and fell all over the ground.
Yun Zhi continued to hand Lu Yang a piece of tofu, signaling him to continue.
Lu Yang also refused to believe it, thinking that the first time was an accident, and the second time would definitely be fine.
The tofu was still crushed, and he couldn't hold it at all.
After failing for the third time, Lu Yang knew what the problem was. He now had too much strength in his hands, which was difficult to control. That is, the items around him were all used by cultivators. If they were replaced with ordinary items, he would have to be careful even when eating, lest he accidentally break the chopsticks or crush the bowl.
Moreover, his strength had increased too quickly, and his mind had not kept up with the speed of his body. The occasional spasms in his fingers were the reason for this.
In this way, how easy would it be to grab a soft, water-like piece of tofu.
Yun Zhi no longer handed Lu Yang tofu. She pointed her hand down, grabbing the tofu and shaking it at will. The tofu swayed, but it didn't fall apart.
Suddenly, Yun Zhi let go, and the tofu fell. She then grabbed the tofu again at an extremely fast speed!
Lu Yang widened his eyes and grabbed the falling tofu. How easy was that?
With Senior Disciple Sister's strength, the soft tofu was no different from a piece of iron, and she could play with it at will.
"Lifting Heavy as Light you've already achieved, Lifting Light as Heavy you're still far from."
Lu Yang was silent. He knew that he was still far from the end of Body Tempering. Cultivation could not be rushed. Meng Jingzhou and the others had been trained by their families since childhood, which allowed them to directly cultivate immortality.
How easy was it to catch up with these people?
He had no guidance in his childhood, and now he could receive Senior Disciple Sister's personal guidance, as well as the help of natural treasures. His growth rate was already amazing. What reason did he have to be dissatisfied?
Lu Yang also remembered what Senior Disciple Sister had said. She said that cultivating immortality was a lifelong matter, and temporary advantages and disadvantages were not important. What was important was who could laugh last.
Lu Yang took two deep breaths, realizing that his mentality was wrong before. He adjusted his mentality in time and stopped pursuing the progress of cultivation.
Then he saw Senior Disciple Sister have the puppet push over a cart of tofu.
