Chapter 25 Don't be petty
Shi Zhongyu followed his master and Hua Wanzi into the valley.
Outside the valley, it was a world of ice and snow, but inside the valley, warmth was everywhere.
In the center of the valley, there is a hot spring that constantly emits white steam.
In the center lies a hot spring with milky white water, its surface gently bubbling, and the surrounding rocks are warmed by the steam.
Standing here, Shi Zhongyu can feel the humid, hot mist hitting him.
Feng Wanli pointed to the hot spring.
"Take off your clothes and come inside!"
Just as Shi Zhongyu was about to take off his clothes, he turned his head and looked at Hua Wanzi.
"flower……"
Hua Wanzi chuckled before he could finish speaking.
"You little brat, fine, I'll avoid you!"
She turned around after she finished speaking.
Shi Zhongyu quickly took off his clothes, leaving only a pair of shorts.
Standing by the hot spring, Shi Zhongyu shivered slightly. He slowly walked into the water, and a warm sensation enveloped his entire body.
Shi Zhongyu let out a long, comfortable breath.
Soaking in the hot spring is so relaxing.
He hadn't taken a bath for several days while he was at the Snow Mountain Sect.
In addition, after practicing martial arts every day, I always feel sticky and uncomfortable all over.
Feng Wanli looked at Shi Zhongyu soaking in the hot spring and said softly, "The Cold Breath Pill is extremely cold in nature. If you take too much, you will accumulate Yin poison."
"Furthermore, your practice in the ice cave will make you feel colder and colder, which will also deepen the poisoning."
"Only this warm spring can dissolve the toxins in your meridians with its heat, allowing them to be expelled through sweat."
Shi Zhongyu turned to look at his master.
Feng Wanli had already come to his side.
The next moment, he raised his hand and pressed several acupoints on Shi Zhongyu's body.
"Now sit cross-legged in the spring, focus only on the dantian, and slowly circulate your energy."
"Wait a moment, the heat will slowly penetrate into your muscles and help you expel the cold toxins little by little."
"This process will make you feel hot, bloated, sore, and in pain, but you have to endure it."
Following his master's instructions, Shi Zhongyu sat cross-legged in the hot spring.
The water around this hot spring is not deep.
After he sat down cross-legged, the knees just reached his chest.
Shi Zhongyu began to circulate his internal energy.
As soon as he activated the Snow Mountain Heart Technique, a scorching heat suddenly entered his body from the outside.
The burning sensation collided with the chilling coldness within him, and a sharp pain instantly exploded within his body.
It felt like countless tiny needles were simultaneously piercing my meridians, both cold and hot, both swollen and pricking.
The jade in the stone creates the illusion that the veins are being forcibly pulled, crushed, and then recast.
Feng Wanli said in a deep voice, "Endure it!"
Shi Zhongyu dared not relax, his jaw clenched, even though the pain made the veins on his forehead bulge, he still dared not relax.
Seeing that Shi Zhongyu could hold back, Feng Wanli said in a deep voice, "That's right. Once the cold poison in your body is expelled, you will have a new feeling."
Time passed slowly, and the steam in the hot spring grew thicker and thicker. Shi Zhongyu was drenched in sweat, his clothes completely soaked.
The sluggish, bone-chilling coldness within him gradually subsided in the warm current.
Gradually, the intense pain subsided, and the soreness and swelling began to weaken.
Shi Zhongyu's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.
He can now sense that his meridians are clear and empty, and he even feels a sense of lightness.
This feeling is becoming clearer and clearer.
An hour later, Shi Zhongyu felt warm all over, and even when he circulated the Snow Mountain Heart Technique, he did not feel any bone-chilling pain.
He even noticed that his dantian had become warm and comfortable, no longer cold and tight.
He let out a long breath, his breathing deep and relaxed.
With a slight exertion of his strength, his internal energy flowed smoothly along his meridians without any obstruction.
About fifteen minutes later, Feng Wanli chuckled and said, "It's ready, come out now!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Zhongyu reluctantly stepped out of the hot spring.
Feng Wanli tossed a bath towel to Shi Zhongyu.
After drying herself off, Shi Zhongyu put her clothes back on.
He stretched his body.
I felt my muscles and bones relax and my skin warm. It was as if a huge burden had been lifted from my body, and I felt completely relaxed.
He clenched his fist slightly, feeling that he had more strength than usual, and his internal energy circulated steadily, solidly, and continuously.
This made Shi Zhongyu let out a comfortable sigh of relief, then he turned to his master and asked, "Can I come again in the future?"
"It feels so comfortable soaking in here. My body feels so much lighter, it's like I've been reborn."
Feng Wanli smiled slightly.
"Come back later!"
"This hot spring is only to help you expel the cold toxins. If you want to improve your internal strength, you still need to practice in the cold cave."
"As for the Cold Breath Pill, your uncle and I won't be able to provide you with many more in the future. You'll have to rely on your own abilities to obtain them."
Shi Zhongyu clasped his hands in a fist salute to his master.
"Master, you have already provided your disciple with more than enough."
He didn't express his gratitude; some things are better left unsaid.
At least he won't cause Feng Wanli catastrophic harm like the original owner did.
Hua Wanzi listened to the two talking, turned around, and saw Shi Zhongyu after soaking in the hot spring. Her eyes lit up slightly.
"Young man Shi, I never knew you had such fair and handsome skin!"
She looked Shi Zhongyu up and down.
Shi Zhongyu was very handsome, with a fair complexion and delicate skin, looking exactly like a pampered young master.
His eyes were clear and bright, exceptionally expressive.
Although he was only thirteen years old, he already had a tall and straight figure.
Who knows what kind of dashing figure this kid will become when he grows up?
Hua Wanzi looked at Feng Wanli.
She doesn't like rich young men; she prefers a steady and mature young man like her senior.
Feng Wanli noticed Hua Wanzi's gaze, but turned to Shi Zhongyu and said, "You just finished soaking in the hot spring, you can go to the training ground to stretch your muscles later."
Shi Zhongyu readily agreed.
Feng Wanli nodded, showing no intention of staying any longer.
The three of them left the hot spring valley together.
Shi Zhongyu went to the martial arts arena, but Feng Wanli and Hua Wanzi did not accompany him; they had their own things to do.
Moreover, the jade in the stone only exercises the muscles and bones.
When Shi Zhongyu arrived at the training ground, he went to the sword rack to retrieve the iron sword.
The training ground was not empty.
Some disciples also practice their skills here.
Shi Zhongyu took off his iron sword and began practicing the Snow Mountain Sword Technique.
He planned to review his skills again and improve his proficiency in the Snow Mountain Sword Technique.
However, just as he was halfway through his practice, several snowballs came flying from a distance.
Shi Zhongyu shifted his feet, flicking and lightly patting with his sword, preventing the snowball from hitting him.
Even so, being interrupted while practicing his swordplay still ignited his anger.
Shi Zhongyu turned around angrily and looked at the group of people who were throwing snowballs at him.
"You're disturbing my sword practice? Are you looking for death?"
These people were none other than those who had practiced stance training with him in the same batch.
The leading disciple, slightly taller, looked at him with disdain.
"Shi Zhongyu, you're so petty!"
"We just wanted to play with you, how could you say that about us?"
Shi Zhongyu was so angry he laughed.
"play?"
He stared at his fellow disciples opposite him and noticed that they all carried swords, causing his eyes to narrow slightly.
"Looks like you've come here specifically to cause me trouble!"
The leading disciple snorted coldly.
"What do you mean we're looking to cause you trouble? We just saw you were all alone and thought we'd come over and have some fun with you!"
Shi Zhongyu smirked and then raised the iron sword in his hand.
"How do you play?"
