Chapter 371 Sincerity Moved
She obviously didn't expect that Zhang Yuan would go to such great lengths to mobilize a large force to look for someone in the Guo family, and all the fuss was due to such a pure and simple reason.
And from the beginning to the end, everything is the starting point and the end point.
All of this was out of careful consideration for Wu Xingyu. This sincere heart struck heavily into her heart.
For a moment, Wu Xingyu was at a loss, his throat seemed to be choked by his emotions. He took two deep breaths before recovering and said to Zhang Yuan:
"My dear disciple, you really surprised me. I never thought you would have such thoughts."
Zhang Yuan smiled warmly, as if the warm spring sun was pouring down without reservation, and said softly:
“What else can I think of, Master?
You have shown me deep affection and care, so I will always remember your kindness. Okay, let me discuss the next treatment plan with you now."
When talking about treatment, his eyes were full of determination and his words were resounding:
"This time, I will do my utmost to restore your Dantian to the greatest extent possible, allowing you to personally experience the exhilarating feeling of being able to store masculine energy in your Dantian. Master, what do you think? Are you happy or not?"
Wu Xingyu's heart seemed to be instantly ignited by a ball of blazing flame. He was not only happy, but ecstatic. But in the next instant, he was filled with doubts.
After all, Zhang Yuan had told him before that the injury to his Dantian was beyond repair that day and could only be slowly recuperated over time, which would take three to five years at the shortest and more than ten years at the longest, and it would take a long time.
However, at this moment, Zhang Yuan was so confident that he claimed that he could repair it himself, and also guaranteed that it would be able to store masculine power immediately after the repair. The contrast between the two was so shocking that it made people dumbfounded.
Wu Xingyu took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner turmoil. She looked at Zhang Yuan again and confirmed:
"My dear disciple, you are kidding me, right? Can you really do this? This is too unbelievable!"
Zhang Yuan's expression was as firm as a towering mountain, unquestionable. He smiled and said to Wu Xingyu:
"Master, don't worry. Since I'm so confident in making such a promise, I'm sure it will succeed. You don't have to worry at all. Just trust me wholeheartedly."
Wu Xingyu nodded heavily, his eyes as determined as shining stars, and said without hesitation:
"Believe you, of course I believe you.
Okay, then let's talk about follow-up treatment. I'm really curious."
Zhang Yuan was not vague and immediately explained the treatment plan in detail to Wu Xingyu.
He started by talking about the compatibility of herbs, mentioning the characteristics and efficacy of each herb, and the subtleties of the matching proportions;
Then we talked about controlling the fire temperature and how to adjust the fire size in time according to the changes of the medicinal materials;
Then, the acupuncture points are described, and the location and function of each key point are precisely pointed out;
Finally, the intensity of the massage is explained, and the degree of emphasis and urgency are detailed, with every detail being clarified one by one.
As the explanation progressed, Wu Xingyu listened attentively, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter, as if there were glimmers of light.
After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, her cheeks unconsciously flushed slightly, as if clouds were quietly emerging from the horizon. She frowned slightly and said shyly:
"My dear disciple, are you...are you sure? Do we want to bathe together?
Isn't this a bit inconvenient?"
Zhang Yuan's smile deepened, with a hint of mischief in his eyes, and he jokingly said:
"Well, it all depends on what you think, Master. If you devote yourself to medicine and don't get distracted, you will naturally be able to achieve a calm mind without any disturbances.
After all, I am healing you, not plotting anything else. Besides, you know how serious I am.
"What's the matter? Master, after living for most of your life, you still can't let go of your obsession with sex?"
Wu Xingyu felt embarrassed and annoyed. She glared at Zhang Yuan and said coquettishly:
"How is that possible? I, your master, have long since transcended the mundane world and no longer care about matters between men and women.
However, when I first heard about this method, I couldn't help but feel that it was a bit abrupt and inappropriate.
But if it can really repair the Dantian and revitalize the body, then why not?"
Zhang Yuan smiled and nodded in praise:
"I knew that you, Master, were a man of great understanding and a clear sense of priorities.
Okay, now that you've figured it out, let's do some warm-up exercises and stretch our muscles, and then I'll take you back to your room to officially start your treatment journey.
After this treatment is completed, you will be able to see how much I have improved recently. I guarantee that it will open your eyes and amaze you."
Wu Xingyu was full of expectations and said with a smile:
"Okay, then I'd like to take a closer look and see how much progress you've made recently.
Well, I've done my fishing, and now I'm satisfied and at peace, so let's get down to business."
Without saying a word, Zhang Yuan quickly and deftly put away the fishing rod with quick and decisive movements.
Then he took Wu Xingyu back into the house.
The two of them walked to the second floor. In the room dedicated to daily training, a huge wooden barrel was now placed steadily, as if an ancient giant beast was lurking there, quietly waiting for the "mission" that was about to begin.
Over in the kitchen, three clay pots were steaming, the herbs in the pots were bubbling and surging, and the rich medicinal fragrance wafted in the air, like lively elves, filling the entire house.
Zhang Yuan first asked Wu Xingyu to go back to her room to rest for a while, and then he went straight to the kitchen.
He walked steadily and gently lifted the lid of the sand pot. Then he leaned in closer, his nostrils flaring slightly as he sniffed the rich medicinal aroma that came to his face, as if he were a senior connoisseur concentrating on tasting fine wine.
After a moment, he slowly added some water with skillful and natural movements, and then closed the lid firmly.
Looking at all this, Zhang Yuan felt very relieved and secretly admired that Heitao and Margarina were extremely reliable in their work. The level of their preparation was beyond the reach of ordinary people. They really lived up to their expectations.
After Zhang Yuan returned to the room, his expression was filled with sincerity. He quickly turned to Wu Xingyu, bowed slightly, and said sincerely:
"Master, I would like to ask you some questions about witchcraft. This will take no more than two hours. I'd appreciate your help in answering my questions."
Upon hearing this, Wu Xingyu's face instantly lit up with a smile, as gentle and warm as a spring breeze blowing across the lake. That smile instantly dispelled the quietness in the room, and she waved her hand nonchalantly:
"It's a small matter. If you have any doubts about witchcraft, you can feel free to ask."
Seeing this, Zhang Yuan didn't hesitate and straightened his expression. He immediately poured out to Wu Xingyu all the doubts he had encountered recently when practicing witchcraft knowledge.
Wu Xingyu narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze was like a deep pool, deep and calm. After a little thought, he answered Zhang Yuan's questions one by one in an orderly manner.
Her words were filled with unique experiences and insights condensed over many years, like the key to a treasure house, precious and rare. Each sentence was like a star, illuminating the dark corners in Zhang Yuan's heart that had once been filled with doubts.
Zhang Yuan was mesmerized by what he heard, and his heart seemed to be in turmoil, with all kinds of thoughts surging and a lot of emotions.
I thought to myself, it turns out that old ginger is more experienced. This senior who has practiced for many years has unique insights and sharp vision, which are definitely beyond the reach of a novice like me.
Throughout the ages, the saying "A good teacher produces good students" has been widely circulated in the world of witchcraft and martial arts. Now that I have experienced it myself, I feel more and more that this saying contains profound philosophy.
If there is no famous teacher to guide you, and you only rely on yourself to study and ponder like a blind man touching an elephant, it will be extremely difficult to comprehend the mysteries, and becoming a top expert is an unattainable dream.
Zhang Yuan was immersed in this realization for a full twenty minutes before he slowly opened his eyes. The light in his eyes shone like the bright stars in the night sky, filled with excitement and reverence. He stared at Wu Xingyu and said,
"Master, thank you so much! Without your insightful teachings, I would never have been able to grasp such profound principles so easily. I am truly grateful!"
Wu Xingyu smiled, her smile as bright as the warm sun, and said softly:
"My dear disciple, you are too polite. It is just a small favor for me. I am very happy to help you.
Then, let's start my treatment. To be honest, I really can't wait."
Zhang Yuan smiled and nodded in response:
“Okay, Master.
Now let's start the first round of treatment.
This time, you will follow the Changchun Palace method of eternal youth you've been practicing. I will sit behind you and precisely massage the corresponding acupuncture points to help you open up specific meridians during your practice, thereby stimulating the recovery potential of your Dantian and promoting the healing process."
He paused slightly, his eyes sincere, and continued:
"I need to inform you in advance that the first treatment will be comfortable and pleasant, and you won't feel any pain at all. However, the second time, the situation will be completely different.
When the bathing process begins, the pain will surge, even beyond your imagination, so be sure to prepare yourself mentally. The pain will be so intense that you will most likely scream out."
When Wu Xingyu heard this, he was stunned at first, as if he was surprised by something new and strange, and then he burst into laughter.
Thinking back to the past, I had poor pain tolerance and could not control myself at the slightest pain. That miserable look seemed like it happened just yesterday.
But since the last time I spent a few days here with Zhang Yuan, after going through the hardships, I feel that my ability to endure pain is no longer what it used to be, far exceeding that of ordinary people.
He was secretly convinced that even if the pain intensified this time, he would be able to endure it and would never show weakness easily.
Not only was I not afraid, but I even felt an eagerness to try it out, eager to compete with this severe pain and verify my growth.
Soon, Zhang Yuan started the first treatment for Wu Xingyu.
He was fully focused, like a warrior about to rush to the battlefield, as if facing a formidable enemy, and always paid attention to the operation of Wu Xingyu's martial arts.
Whenever he reached a key meridian node, Zhang Yuan would secretly condense the vast power of true essence, as if controlling the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and carefully pour it into it, accurately repairing those hidden injured acupuncture points.
After this operation, Wu Xingyu felt relaxed all over, as if he was soaking in a hot spring, warm and comfortable, or as if he was walking in the clouds, floating in the air. The feeling of comfort was indescribable.
She was so engrossed in it that she couldn't even speak clearly. Her heart and eyes were filled with intoxication, and she couldn't help but secretly admire:
"My dear disciple is truly gifted in medical skills. This method is truly amazing!"
The first round of practice lasted about an hour and ended successfully.
Wu Xingyu's face was as rosy as a ripe peach, radiant and in a very good mood. Her eyes were filled with amazement and praise, and she looked at Zhang Yuan with deep emotion:
"My dear disciple, you are truly amazing! It's not simple, it's really not simple!
With your help in cultivation, I feel so comfortable that I almost lose myself, as if I have strayed into a fairyland!"
Seeing Wu Xingyu so happy, Zhang Yuan also started to smile. He raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a row of white teeth, and said with a smile:
"Master, I am very happy to be able to make you happy.
Next, let's practice for two more cycles, but remember to slow down this time, the slower the better."
He leaned forward slightly, looking serious, and explained:
"You must understand that cultivation at this moment is not about improving your skills, but about assisting in healing. Using the momentum of cultivation to allow the medicinal power to penetrate and the meridians to become unblocked is the correct approach."
Wu Xingyu nodded heavily, like a chick pecking at rice, and said firmly:
"Okay, my dear disciple, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I will proceed as slowly as a snail and steadily."
After that, the second week of cultivation quickly began.
Time passed by like a white horse, flying by silently. Before I knew it, three consecutive cycles of practice had been completed. At this time, three hours had passed.
Over there, the wooden barrel for medicinal bath was filled with steam, like a fairyland with clouds and mist.
Hei Tao and Margarina were well-trained, and they skillfully poured the carefully prepared Chinese medicine liquid into it. The aroma of the medicine instantly spread, rich and mellow, as if the fragrance of flowers blooming in spring was fragrant.
Zhang Yuan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze fixed on the steaming wooden barrel. He turned around and softly reminded Wu Xingyu:
“Okay, Master.
The auxiliary training has come to an end for now, it's time for us to step into the wooden barrel and start the medicinal bath treatment."
Wu Xingyu took a deep breath, as if to draw courage into his lungs, and nodded heavily:
"Okay, my dear disciple. I'll have to work hard on you from now on."
Zhang Yuan smiled calmly, as if a gentle breeze was blowing across his face, bringing a hint of coolness.
"This is all within my disciple's responsibility."
At Zhang Yuan's signal, Wu Xingyu slowly took off her clothes, revealing her skin as white as jade, as pure as the first snow. She gently lifted her small, white feet and stepped carefully into the medicinal bath tub.
The hot water, carrying the medicinal power, surrounded her instantly. At first, she felt it was warm and pleasant, like the gentle caress of the spring sun, but not long after, something unexpected happened.
Zhang Yuan officially used his methods to repair Wu Xingyu's dantian.
After only half a moment, Wu Xingyu felt a sharp pain like a surging tide, penetrating his bones, as if thousands of arrows pierced his heart, and his body began to tremble violently and uncontrollably.
The originally warm medicinal liquid seemed to turn into boiling magma, burning every inch of her skin and every meridian. Her limbs seemed to be cut by countless steel knives. She was in excruciating pain, as if she had fallen into an endless abyss.
Zhang Yuan saw this and showed concern. He frowned slightly and asked softly:
"Master, if you really can't bear it anymore, let's take a break and continue later. How about this, can you still do it?"
