Chapter 69 Brother
Inside the cave, a raging fire burned.
On the stove, a large pot was steaming and boiling with medicinal herbs.
The strong smell of medicine filled the entire cave.
When the little girl woke up, she found herself lying in the corner where she had slept the night before.
He was still covered by that large black robe with a skull on his body.
The figure was sitting quietly in front of the stove, holding a wooden stick and poking at the firewood inside.
"elder brother……"
The little girl quickly sat up, apologizing anxiously, "I'm sorry, I... I fell asleep..."
Luo Qingchen didn't turn around, tossed her a freshly baked bun, and said coldly, "I'm going to take a bath later. Go and keep watch at the cave entrance outside. If you see anyone approaching, speak up immediately."
"Uh-huh!"
Seeing that he wasn't angry, the little girl secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly picked up the steamed bun from the ground.
Then he immediately went out and stood guard at the cave entrance.
She opened her eyes wide and stared intently at the outside of the cave, determined not to miss a single sound.
"My brother didn't blame me. He even covered me with a coat and gave me some steamed buns to eat..."
"I must work even harder to help my brother, and I absolutely cannot fall asleep again!"
She stared wide-eyed outside, thinking to herself.
Luo Qingchen quickly finished brewing the medicine and entered the bathtub.
This time, he didn't wait any longer. He cut his wrist with the dagger and began to draw blood.
After losing 30% of the blood in the first health bar, he immediately replenished it.
The blood mixed with the water and immediately reacted with the magic stone.
As his body began to rapidly absorb the medicinal properties of the water, his gaze turned inward.
in vivo:
[First health bar: 100%]
[Cultivation Progress: Blood Exchange Realm: 1/2000]
[Second Health Bar: Normal Health: 420%]
I practiced all day today, but my progress only increased by a paltry 1 point.
Without medicinal baths, relying solely on ascetic practices, it's unknown when one could reach 2000/2000.
Therefore, blood is the most precious thing for the disciples of the Demonic Sect!
The medicinal properties in the medicine were quickly absorbed.
Without wasting any time, he got out of the bath, put on his clothes, and prepared to meditate and practice breathing exercises.
The meditation mantra in "Black Phoenix Demon Art" is a set of breathing techniques. Only when combined with the Blood Exchange Fist Technique to temper the body can the best cultivation effect be achieved.
He picked up the bath tub, walked out of the cave, and prepared to pour the wastewater into the cave next to it.
It was the same when Tian Feng was practicing medicinal baths here.
Suddenly, the little girl guarding the cave entrance timidly spoke up, "Brother, can you not throw the water away yet? I...I want to take a bath too."
Luo Qingchen's heart skipped a beat, and she turned to look at her.
The little girl's words, and the scene before him, suddenly reminded him of his past.
A brief silence fell over the cave.
"elder brother……"
Call me Master!
Luo Qingchen's tone suddenly turned stern.
Then he went into the cave next door and, with a "whoosh," poured all the water from the bathtub into the corner.
He emerged from the cave carrying an empty bucket, looked at her, and said, "There's only one person in this world who can call me brother, but that person isn't you. From now on, you're not allowed to take a bath, you're not allowed to wash your face, you're not allowed to wash any part of your body, understand?"
The little girl seemed startled by his sudden coldness and nodded fearfully, "I...I understand."
Luo Qingchen ignored her and went into the innermost cave to begin meditating and cultivating.
The little girl lowered her head, pressed herself against the wall at the entrance of the cave, and slowly sat down, her eyes filled with tears of grievance.
But she quickly wiped away her tears.
"I am my brother's medicine man, and I will do whatever my brother tells me to do."
"I will be obedient!"
She thought to herself.
Then she whispered, "I call you brother in my heart, but you don't know it."
Outside the cave, night was deepening.
The night wind was icy cold, blowing in from the cave entrance and seeping into her tattered clothes, making her shiver.
"Achoo!"
She sneezed and quickly covered her mouth.
As she huddled up, shivering from the cold and fantasizing about the fragrant, burnt buns of tomorrow, Luo Qingchen's voice came from inside: "Come in and sleep. You don't need to keep watch anymore."
The little girl quickly said, "Brother... Master, I'm fine, I can stay here."
"Come in."
Luo Qingchen's tone left no room for argument.
"Oh……"
The little girl didn't dare to speak again, quickly got up, and went into the cave inside.
There were flames burning inside, making it much warmer than outside.
In the corner, where she slept, the black robe embroidered with a skull still lay there.
When she woke up this morning and first saw this terrifying skull, she was a little scared. But now, she actually feels a sense of familiarity and warmth.
She lay down in the corner and covered herself with the black robe.
She placed the skull on her chest, closed her eyes, and hugged it tightly with both hands.
That night, she didn't have any more nightmares, but instead had a good dream.
She dreamed that her brother lived here with her and built a beautiful little wooden house.
Outside, apple and pear trees are planted everywhere.
She has fragrant steamed buns to eat every day, and her brother also picked a lot of very sour hawthorns for her.
The two ate and laughed...
Unfortunately, all good things are fleeting.
The night passed quickly, and dawn arrived mercilessly, the sunlight piercing the mountains and forests like a dagger.
When the little girl woke up, there was a freshly baked bun next to her.
The figure was no longer in the cave.
This time, she did not panic.
She picked up the steamed bun, ate it happily, and left the cave, heading towards a cave on the left.
She only felt at ease when she could see him.
As she was about to approach, a stern voice suddenly rang out from inside the cave: "Don't come any closer!"
The little girl immediately stopped in her tracks.
Luo Qingchen emerged from the nearby cave, drenched in sweat, and looked at her with a frown as she breathed heavily. "You're not allowed to come near here again, and don't go down the hillside carelessly. Just stay in the cave or at the entrance."
The little girl quickly lowered her head and said, "Oh..."
Luo Qingchen looked at her dirty face in the sunlight, her tattered clothes, and her shoes that were only half-finished. After a moment of silence, she said, "I've set traps in many places. You'd better not wander around."
"Um!"
The little girl nodded vigorously.
"My brother is just worried about me!"
She thought to herself happily.
Luo returned to the cave at dawn to continue his cultivation.
The little girl sat down at the entrance of the cave, basking in the morning sunlight, eating a fragrant, slightly burnt steamed bun. Her tender, dirty cheeks were filled with a small happiness.
The sun quickly rose to its zenith.
Then, it fell to the Western Paradise.
Inside the cave, Luo Qingchen, naked and exhausted, finished her cultivation and sat limply on the ground, wiping the sweat from her eyelids as she looked at the progress of her cultivation within her body.
[Blood Transformation Realm: 15/2000]
Sure enough, after the medicinal bath, the speed of his cultivation progress increased significantly.
However, it will probably take a lot of blood and time to collect 2000.
He raised his eyes and looked out of the cave.
Tonight he plans to go out into the mountains and forests to see if he can hunt some wild animals.
Then try using the blood of wild animals to see if it can also be used.
If it could be used like pig's blood...
"what!"
Just then, a little girl's scream suddenly came from outside the cave.
His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately got up and rushed out.
