Marrow Cleansing

"The human body's meridians form a great cycle. If any part is blocked, it can obstruct the entire circulation and render it useless.

Your condition is roughly like that, and it was caused by congenital factors.

If you want to cultivate, it is basically impossible in this lifetime. Unless you undergo a complete rebirth—Tendon Changing and Marrow Cleansing."

Before the small cottage, a gentle breeze swept by, rustling the leaves with crisp sounds.

Wang Shu was carefully explaining to Ya Fei why her body was unable to cultivate.

"My lord, you definitely have a way, don't you?" Ya Fei looked at Wang Shu expectantly.

Wang Shu had long become accustomed to Ya Fei's inexplicable confidence. He said calmly,

"Of course I do, but the process may be very painful. Can you endure it?"

"I can." Ya Fei's expression was resolute.

Seeing this, Wang Shu wasted no more words and said directly,

"Whatever happens next, steady your mind. Do not panic."

Hearing this, Ya Fei straightened her waist, lifted her chest, and raised her head.

Wang Shu circulated the true qi within his body. Strands of true qi flowed out from his Dantian, traveled through his limbs and body, completed a full cycle, and finally gathered at his fingertips.

At his fingertips, the true qi churned and flickered like silver serpents.

Wang Shu focused his gaze on the various acupoints across Ya Fei's body.

He tapped her chest, abdomen, Tan Zhong, Huiyin, tianling, temples, and several other locations.

His figure shifted, leaving behind layered afterimages as he appeared from every direction, using true qi to forcibly open and connect the acupoints throughout Ya Fei's body.

Ya Fei was, after all, only twelve years old. Never before had someone of the opposite sex touched her all over like this, and with true qi flowing through her body—

She immediately felt feverish, her face flushing red as wild thoughts filled her mind and her heart began to wander.

"Steady your mind. Don't think nonsense."

This was the critical moment of the procedure. Wang Shu sensed Ya Fei's blood flow accelerating, faintly showing signs of breaking the balance of her great circulation, and immediately spoke coldly.

Sure enough, Ya Fei calmed down and forcibly suppressed her chaotic thoughts.

After forcibly opening her acupoints, Wang Shu began injecting his true qi into the blocked meridians within Ya Fei's body.

Martial true qi could benefit all things like water, yet it could also overturn countless vessels. It possessed countless variations.

This was something uncontrollable Dou Qi could never compare with!

Wang Shu infused true qi into Ya Fei's meridians, then began clearing away her congenital affliction one passage at a time through the Twelve Principal Meridians and Eight Extraordinary Meridians around her body.

A chronic ailment that had persisted for over a decade could naturally not be resolved in a short while. This was destined to be a lengthy process.

Ya Fei, as the one undergoing it, was not having an easy time either. For some reason, an intense itch would occasionally arise from within her body, making it difficult to endure.

Below her navel, her abdomen felt hot, as though a small flame were burning there, while her skin was scorching.

Beads of glistening sweat rolled uncontrollably down her cheeks. Before long, her entire dress was soaked through.

She truly was a born enchantress!

Wang Shu secretly thought this as he watched. Although Ya Fei's appearance was not flawlessly beautiful enough to be as breathtaking as Medusa's,

She was still a rare beauty, especially when it came to her figure.

At merely twelve or thirteen years old, the curves of her upper body were already so exquisite and graceful, while her slender waist and long legs were equally straight and shapely.

The entire process lasted roughly half a day. It was not until nightfall that Wang Shu slowly finished.

Even he felt that half a day of effort had drained a considerable amount of his strength.

As for Ya Fei, there was even less need to mention her. Once Wang Shu withdrew his power, that wonderful sensation of floating in the clouds instantly vanished.

Coupled with having stood there for half a day, her body went limp and collapsed onto the grass uncontrollably. Fragrant sweat drenched her body, creating a scene that easily stirred one's imagination.

Wang Shu ignored Ya Fei and sat down nearby to recover his strength.

Ya Fei lay on the grass, breathing deeply. She had never felt as good as she did now.

Her body had become exceptionally light and agile, as though shackles she had worn for more than ten years had been removed, leaving her incomparably relaxed.

This was precisely the wonder of marrow cleansing and body refinement. In worlds where martial arts flourished,

Martial experts from great clans often used true qi to cleanse the marrow of their juniors, improving their physique and natural foundation.

As an expert of the Heaven-Human Realm, Wang Shu would be considered a grandmaster-level powerhouse in a martial world.

Marrow cleansing and body refinement were naturally effortless for him!

After the brief wave of pleasure passed, Ya Fei regained her senses. She easily rose from the grass, looked at Wang Shu meditating nearby, and revealed a reverent expression.

"You should be able to cultivate now. Moreover, all your meridians have been connected, and they are two or three times wider than those of ordinary people. You should be able to contain and absorb more Dou Qi.

In the terms your great clans use, you should now be considered a peerless genius.

Now, hurry and give it a try."

After recovering, Wang Shu opened his eyes and said to Ya Fei.

"Thank you, my lord."

Ya Fei's eyes were filled with gratitude, and she immediately began cultivating.

She sat cross-legged on the grass and circulated her cultivation technique. In an instant, every pore across her body opened.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth streamed into her body through those pores, eagerly trying to merge with her.

Like a sponge that had been dry for a long time, once it encountered water, it would madly devour and absorb it.

"Her talent isn't bad."

Wang Shu looked at the cultivating Ya Fei and the small vortex of spiritual energy above her head, unable to help remarking.

A body's natural hardware was bestowed at birth and could not be controlled by people.

Thus, Ya Fei had been born unable to cultivate. But becoming strong required more than bodily hardware; it also required talent, affinity with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and perception.

Now that Ya Fei's congenital deficiencies had been removed, her talent for cultivation had revealed itself.

The small vortex of spiritual energy above her head was the best proof of this, and it likewise showed that her efficiency in absorbing spiritual energy surpassed that of ordinary people.

Time always passed quickly during cultivation.

The next day.

Ya Fei was the first to awaken from cultivation. Feeling the abundant Dou Qi within her body, she wore an incredulous expression and muttered,

"So this really wasn't a dream!"

"Then do you wish it were a dream?"

At some point, Wang Shu had appeared before her. Bathed in the morning light, his figure seemed incomparably tall and heroic in Ya Fei's eyes, brimming with vigor and stirring her heart.

Ya Fei paused, her eyes blazing with fervent light as she shouted,

"Of course not! Thank you, my lord, for giving Ya Fei a chance to be reborn."

"You're welcome. I've always done things as I please."

Wang Shu waved his hand. If Ya Fei had not persevered through the earlier test, he might not have helped her at all. He glanced at her and said,

"Judging from the intensity of your Dou Qi, you are roughly at Dou Qi Rank Six. To reach this level in a single night, your talent truly is not weak. You should be able to break through to Dou Zhe in less than half a month.

At your age, you would count as a modestly talented genius even in the Jia Ma Empire."

"If not for my lord's help, Ya Fei would not have what she has today."

Ya Fei said modestly, though her face was full of joyous smiles, like a flower blooming in spring after enduring the bitter winter.
