Tendon Cleansing and Marrow Purging

[Bodhi Body-Transforming Saliva: A secretion from the surface of the Bodhi Heart condensed by the Bodhi Ancient Tree over countless years. Consuming it can remake one's body!]

"It's actually Bodhi Body-Transforming Saliva!"

Xiao Qing's eyes lit up. As a transmigrator, how could he not have heard of Bodhi Body-Transforming Saliva?

In the original work, Little Doctor's Calamitous Poison Body required this item to be neutralized. After being refined with a Heavenly Flame, it could even yield a Bodhi Seed.

"Materialize?"

A line of text suddenly appeared beneath the introduction to the Bodhi Body-Transforming Saliva.

"Materialize!"

Xiao Qing muttered inwardly without the slightest hesitation. The image before him abruptly vanished.

In its place floated a fist-sized mass of emerald-green viscous liquid that slowly writhed as though it were alive.

"So this is Bodhi Body-Transforming Saliva?"

Xiao Qing studied the emerald-green viscous liquid floating before him.

He hesitated for only an instant before deciding to consume it directly.

Although refining it with a Heavenly Flame later would yield greater benefits, that was insignificant compared to improving his own cultivation.

If he consumed the Bodhi Body-Transforming Saliva, his physique would transform and his talent would improve. His future cultivation journey would surely become far easier.

Rather than save it for the future, he might as well seize the present!

With that thought, Xiao Qing no longer hesitated. He grabbed the Bodhi Body-Transforming Saliva and stuffed it into his mouth.

The moment it entered his mouth, the Bodhi Body-Transforming Saliva melted into Xiao Qing's body. Energy brimming with vitality spread through his limbs and bones.

A clear current shot straight to the crown of his head, and Xiao Qing immediately felt a wave of comfort surge from the depths of his soul.

Second by second, time passed. As the essence of the Bodhi Body-Transforming Saliva continuously fused into Xiao Qing's body, a foul stench began to seep from him.

Xiao Qing snapped out of his blissful state. Frowning slightly, he lowered his head to look at his body.

His body seemed to be undergoing a cleansing of tendons and purging of marrow, with specks of black, greasy impurities oozing from his skin.

Seeing this, Xiao Qing hurriedly rose to his feet and dashed out the door.

Before long, Xiao Qing returned to the room carrying a bucket of water.

After closing the door, Xiao Qing removed the clothes stained with impurities and stepped into the bucket.

The clear water instantly turned pitch-black, but Xiao Qing could not be bothered with that. He continuously scrubbed away the impurities clinging to his body.

After several rounds, Xiao Qing finally washed himself clean.

He took out a clean set of clothes and changed into them. Then, unable to wait any longer, Xiao Qing returned to the bed, sat cross-legged, formed a hand seal, closed his eyes, and began cultivating.

His chest rose and fell slightly as faint streams of white air flowed into Xiao Qing's body with every breath.

Cool moonlight poured down, coating Xiao Qing's body in a faint silver radiance and making him appear solemn and sacred.

The next day, dawn had just broken.

Inside the room, Xiao Qing opened his eyes while seated cross-legged on the bed. Feeling the Fighting Qi that had increased within him, joy appeared on his face.

"At this rate, I'll reach Battle Qi, Second Stage in less than half a month!"

Cultivation only became harder and harder to improve. Although he had gone from nothing to Battle Qi, First Stage in just seven days, that depended on what level he was being compared with!

At his previous cultivation speed, reaching Battle Qi, Second Stage would have taken him at least half a year.

"As expected of the Bodhi Body-Transforming Saliva!"

Xiao Qing could not help but praise it.

Previously, his cultivation speed had only been about the same as Xiao Yan's, but after consuming the Bodhi Body-Transforming Saliva, it had increased by far more than several times!

Only now did he truly possess the qualifications to stand shoulder to shoulder with the geniuses of the Central Plains.

As Xiao Qing rejoiced over his transformation, he failed to notice a faint flash of emerald-green light deep within his dantian's sea of qi.

"Too bad I don't have any cultivation resources like Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid."

Xiao Qing thought greedily.

If he had resources that could assist cultivation during the Fighting Qi Stage, his cultivation speed could increase even further.

Shaking his head to cast aside that unrealistic thought, Xiao Qing rose and walked out of his room.

In the main hall, the two maids standing by saw Xiao Qing emerge from his room and promptly bowed respectfully.

"Young Master!"

Although Xiao Qing was young, his status as a member of the Xiao Household meant they did not dare show the slightest negligence.

Xiao Qing's expression remained calm as he casually nodded. He walked to the dining table, sat down, and began eating the breakfast the maids had prepared.

The two maids beside him exchanged glances before returning to their respective tasks.

About ten minutes later, Xiao Qing finished breakfast and left the house, strolling around the Xiao Household.

Cultivation required both work and rest. Xiao Qing understood this well. Walking through the household was not only to relax his mind, but also to familiarize himself with the changes in his transformed body.

Xiao Qing walked along the bluestone path, admiring the flowers, grass, and trees around him. Before he knew it, he had arrived near the training grounds.

From afar, he could hear the sounds of fists and kicks tearing through the air, along with the shouts of young boys and girls practicing.

Following the sound, Xiao Qing saw Xiao Household members who had cultivated Fighting Qi gathered there to practice combat techniques. An elder at the Battle Master level was correcting their mistakes.

Xiao Qing's gaze swept over those sweat-drenched figures, but his heart remained unmoved. He had no desire to go over and join them.

Just as Xiao Qing planned to stroll somewhere with fewer people, several finely dressed children approached him.

Xiao Qing looked up and saw Xiao Yan leading several children around his age toward him.

This group of children clearly regarded Xiao Yan as their leader, their faces carrying slightly arrogant smiles.

Xiao Yan walked at the front, chatting and laughing with his companions in a relaxed manner. He was evidently in a very good mood.

Not paying much attention to Xiao Qing before him, Xiao Yan gave him a brief glance before looking away.

When fellow townsmen met, comparison only brought bleakness.

Xiao Qing withdrew his gaze. Unbothered by Xiao Yan's disdain, he headed toward a less crowded area.

Time flowed like water, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

The moon hung like a silver disk, while stars filled the sky.

On the bed, Xiao Qing opened his eyes, looking full of vigor.

"I didn't expect to break through to Battle Qi, Second Stage even earlier than I anticipated."

In just ten days, he had cultivated from Battle Qi, First Stage to Battle Qi, Second Stage. How terrifying!

A satisfied smile appeared on his childish face.

As though recalling something, Xiao Qing willed it, and a panel appeared before him.

[Host: Xiao Qing]

[Age: Four]

[Attributes: Fire, Wood]

[Cultivation: Battle Qi, Second Stage]

[Soul: Mortal Realm: Early Stage]

[Remaining Draws: 0]

"It didn't increase?"

His gaze fell on the remaining draws section. Although he had already been mentally prepared, Xiao Qing could not help feeling disappointed when he saw the result.

"It seems that if I want to increase my number of draws, I need to break through to the Dou Practitioner level!"

Xiao Qing rubbed his chin. As a transmigrator from an age of information explosion, he had read countless novels and fanfiction.

After thinking it over briefly, he understood the rules of his golden finger.
