Chapter 62 Preparation before Dual Cultivation
Before starting the practice of the Dragon Phoenix Fist, two things must be completed.
The first: men and women must undress and soak in a medicinal bath, the efficacy of the medicine altering their physiques, allowing 'True Qi' to flow unimpeded within their bodies during the practice of the martial art, achieving the optimal effect.
The second: the man and woman must reach a mutual understanding, achieving absolute tacit agreement before they can smoothly practice the martial art and unleash the full power of the Dragon Phoenix Fist.
When Ye Ling'er saw the two essential tasks that had to be done, she slightly furrowed her brows, her expression growing much more serious, finding it much harder than she had imagined.
The second task, she could accept, it was just that she had only recently met Li Qianfan, and reaching a mutual understanding would require time to develop.
But one thing Ye Ling'er found unacceptable.
If the two were to take off their clothes and soak in the medicinal bath, wouldn't that mean her body would be completely seen by Li Qianfan? She had preserved her purity for so many years; just the thought of being seen naked by a man made her cheeks uncontrollably flush with heat.
Hey!
Soon, Ye Ling'er thought of something extremely important.
Li Qianfan was blind!
Even if she stripped naked in front of Li Qianfan, he wouldn't be able to see.
With this realization, joy spread across Ye Ling'er's face. It seems that her decision to keep Li Qianfan by her side was indeed the right one. While others may despise Li Qianfan for his blindness, for her, it was better that he was blind.
"The medicinal bath requires a lot of ingredients; I need to hurry and prepare the materials, so Li Qianfan and I can take the bath as soon as possible."
Ye Ling'er's gaze locked onto the paper, silently memorizing the required ingredients in her heart.
…
After Li Qianfan arrived at the headmaster's office, he found Liu Sisi and Qin Sihai chatting amicably. He sat down and briefly spoke with Qin Sihai before leaving the Four Seas Martial Pavilion with Liu Sisi.
Compared to other martial pavilions, the Four Seas Martial Pavilion was very humanitarian.
In matters concerning the students, Qin Sihai wouldn't intervene, leaving it entirely up to the instructors. So, when he heard that Li Qianfan planned to come three times a week, he didn't say much, only advising Li Qianfan that young people should be diligent.
Diligent!
He indeed had to be diligent.
But his way of being diligent was different; he just needed to find a way to sleep with more women.
At this moment, Zhang Ju and Zhao Tianjie stood in front of the French windows, watching the departing Audi car. Zhao Tianjie hit the wall with his fist, growling, "I didn't expect this guy to be so lucky. He actually joined the Four Seas Martial Pavilion. Damn it!"
"Tianjie, keep your cool."
Zhang Ju's mouth curled up slightly, "You should think of it this way: he hit you before, and you've had no chance for revenge. Now that he has come to our turf, isn't this your opportunity to retaliate however you want?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianjie's eyes lit up, "Brother Ju, what you say makes sense. On our turf, teaching him a lesson will be too easy."
"Remember, after he arrives at the pavilion, give that damn blind man a harsh lesson from me. Because of him, I was treated like that by Ling'er in front of everyone today. I must take my revenge!"
Zhang Ju clenched his fists, making cracking sounds continuously.
"Alright, I got it!"
Zhao Tianjie gestured an 'OK' with his hand, his narrow eyes flashing with intense murderous intent.
…
After leaving the Four Seas Martial Pavilion, Li Qianfan did not hurry back to the massage shop. As long as he arrived there by three o'clock, it would be fine. He had more important matters to attend to now.
"Sisi, you can drop me off at the roadside," Li Qianfan said.
"What are you going to do here? Anyway, I'm not busy right now, so why don't I just take you to the massage shop?" Liu Sisi, considering that Li Qianfan was blind, felt somewhat uneasy.
"Sister, I have something else to do; just drop me off at the roadside, please."
"You can't see the road, let me take you there."
"Even though I can't see, I'm fairly familiar with Taoyuan County. Besides, I commute to work by myself usually. Can you not treat me like a useless person?"
Li Qianfan looked at Liu Sisi with a serious face and spoke.
"Alright, then I'll just leave you here," Liu Sisi also understood that sometimes her excessive concern could possibly hurt Li Qianfan's pride, hence she didn't say much and parked the car on the side of the road.
After separating from Liu Sisi, Li Qianfan looked around to ascertain his location before starting to search for a traditional Chinese clinic. Now, with over ten thousand Yuan in his possession, he could go and buy the medicinal herbs needed to concoct the Yang Strengthening Pill.
Walking for about three kilometers, Li Qianfan found a clinic named 'Ruyi Hall'.
Mentioning Ruyi Hall, Li Qianfan felt incredibly familiar.
Standing still, he thought for a moment; his eyes suddenly lit up. If his memory served him right, the most beautiful girl in his high school class, her family ran a clinic in the county and dealt in medicinal herbs.
Although he didn't interact much with the class beauty during high school, he had always been grateful to her in his heart.
Only because, when there was one month left before the college entrance exams, he had spent his meal money on a large amount of review materials, starving in class daily. Somehow the class beauty found out about this and quietly slipped five hundred Yuan into his desk slot.
It was this five hundred Yuan that helped him get through that toughest month.
Even though the class beauty never mentioned this incident, Li Qianfan would always remember her kindness, even though he hadn't seen her since going to college until now.
If he could meet her, he would make sure to return the five hundred Yuan to her in person.
Upon entering the clinic, he was welcomed by a strong medicinal fragrance.
Instantly, Li Qianfan felt refreshed as if basking in the spring breeze. To his surprise, under this environment, the True Qi inside his Dantian became restless, as if excited.
Li Qianfan understood that places with abundance of medicinal herbs usually had denser Spiritual Energy.
He then observed the clinic. Its decor was rustic and elegant, filled with the essence of traditional Chinese medicine culture. The walls displayed various herbal specimens and classical Chinese medicine texts, showcasing the clinic's medical heritage.
The clinic had five consultation rooms, each with a physician in a traditional white coat, who were diagnosing patients with solemn concentration.
The medicine cabinet was filled with a variety of Chinese herbs emitting a faint medicinal scent.
Many customers were queuing to collect their medicine.
It's undeniable, Ruyi Hall was sizeable indeed.
Probably the largest traditional Chinese clinic in Taoyuan County.
"Hello sir, what can I do for you?"
At that moment, a man in his twenties approached Li Qianfan to inquire.
Li Qianfan said, "I need to buy some medicinal herbs. Bring me some paper and a pen, and I'll write it down for you."
The young man looked at Li Qianfan and saw that he was holding a guide stick and wearing sunglasses, dressed like a blind man. He asked, "Sir, if you can't see, can you write?"
Li Qianfan: "Of course I can."
Although still puzzled, the young man complied and handed paper and pen to Li Qianfan. He was stunned when he saw how elegantly and quickly Li Qianfan penned the characters, faster than him, someone with normal sight. Could this really be a blind man?
The young man couldn't help but reach out and wave his hand in front of Li Qianfan's eyes, only believing the man was truly blind when he elicited no response.
He couldn't help but admire in his heart that there really were remarkable people in this world.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Li Qianfan saw all of the young man's actions and facial expressions, which made him sneak a smile. He hadn't expected that pretending to be blind could incidentally impress others in this unintended fashion.
The next moment, Li Qianfan handed the paper to the young man, "I need these medicinal herbs."
"Alright, I'll get the herbs for you now. Please wait in the resting area."
The young man helped Li Qianfan to the resting area first and then went to the medicine cabinet with the paper listing the required herbs.
"Chu Mingyue, get out here!"
Just then, a sharp and angry voice echoed through the quiet clinic.
Shush shush shush! Your journey continues with empire
Numerous customers were immediately attracted by the voice, and even Li Qianfan turned to look in its direction. Upon seeing the woman who entered from outside, a look of surprise appeared on his face...
