"Okay, it'll be ready in a while," Qin Xiaoyue said playfully, sticking up a tender white finger. Xiao Nanli looked at Qin Xiaoyue's back and smiled. Just because of this little girl's warm - heartedness, his choice wouldn't be wrong. Moreover, most of the herbs he needed for the body - refinement stage were here, which was very convenient to use. Carrying his luggage, Xiao Nanli came to the small north room. It was only seven or eight square meters in size, cold, damp, and gloomy. However, in his previous life, Xiao Nanli often practiced in caves. He didn't have high requirements for the living environment. The key was the spiritual energy. But the spiritual energy in the mortal world was generally thin. It seemed that throughout the body - refinement stage, he could only rely on herbs to improve his cultivation level. Just as he finished tidying up his luggage, the door was knocked. "Is it Xiaoyue? Come in," Xiao Nanli replied. Qin Xiaoyue walked in, carrying a bowl of steaming noodles with shredded meat. She quickly put it on the table, pinched her rosy earlobe, and exclaimed, "Wow, it's so hot, so hot." Xiao Nanli looked at her lively appearance with a smile. Suddenly, he felt that the mundane life seemed quite good. "Brother Xiao, eat quickly," Qin Xiaoyue sat down on the stool in front of Xiao Nanli, swinging her two tender white feet, which were only wearing slippers. "When you were in a coma, I saw your ID. Your name is Xiao Yi, right?" "Um, ah, yes," Xiao Nanli was startled. Right, from now on, he would have to use the name "Xiao Yi". However, Xiao Yi was just a name. A name was just a code. From this moment on, he would be called "Xiao Yi". Xiao Yi picked up a chopstick - full of noodles and put them into his mouth. He had been on a fasting diet for many years in his previous life. This mouthful of food was the first delicious food in the mortal world after many years. "Is it delicious, Brother Xiao?" Qin Xiaoyue asked with bright eyes, tilting her head. "Delicious. Hehe, this is the most delicious noodles I've ever eaten," Xiao Yi savored the delicious noodles and chatted casually with Qin Xiaoyue. The girl's youthful spirit made Xiao Yi's heart, which had been calm for hundreds of years, gradually come to life. "Brother Xiao, can you really use the Four - Elephant Acupuncture Method? I heard that this acupuncture method has been lost," Qin Xiaoyue asked curiously, her big eyes twinkling. Xiao Yi stopped his chopsticks and asked, "Xiaoyue, what do you study?" "Traditional Chinese medicine (The translation ofseems to be an incorrect addition here, might be a wrong text from the original, so it's ignored in translation)," Qin Xiaoyue tilted her head and said matter - of - factly. "Traditional Chinese medicine is so in decline now. Your father himself is struggling to make ends meet. Why did he still let you study traditional Chinese medicine?" Xiao Yi asked with great interest. Qin Xiaoyue pouted, as if it was her habitual action. She sighed and said, "Brother Xiao, don't think my dad seems very snobbish and petty. In fact, my dad has had a hard time these years. I lost my mother when I was young, and my dad raised me all by himself. Life is tough. Many people advised my dad to close the clinic and do something else, but my dad has never done that. My dad said that traditional Chinese medicine is a treasure left by our ancestors and the inheritance can't be lost." Qin Xiaoyue paused for a while and continued, "Moreover, Brother Xiao, I'll tell you. Our family has been practicing traditional Chinese medicine for generations. But during the ten - year - long catastrophe, my grandfather was overthrown as a reactionary. In a fit of anger, he burned all the family - handed - down medical books and didn't allow my dad to study traditional Chinese medicine. My dad's half - baked medical skills were all self - taught. When I took the college entrance examination, my dad only allowed me to apply for the traditional Chinese medicine major. He said that one day I should revitalize traditional Chinese medicine and make our Qin family's Jishitang famous again." When Qin Xiaoyue said the last words, her eyes were glistening with tears. Xiao Yi nodded and said, "Yes, Xiaoyue, study hard. The field of traditional Chinese medicine is broad and profound. You will benefit a lot in the future." "Brother Xiao, can you teach me your Four - Elephant Acupuncture Method?" Qin Xiaoyue asked carefully. "Naturally. I'm now an assistant in Jishitang, and you're my boss. How dare I hold back when the boss wants to learn?" Xiao Yi rarely made a joke. In fact, while saying this, Xiao Yi was also filled with emotion. The Profound Medical Sect was founded three thousand years ago. At that time, in the mortal world, traditional Chinese medicine was still flourishing. Who would have thought that with the passage of time, traditional Chinese medicine, which had done immeasurable good deeds for thousands of years, had declined to such an extent. There were even many people with ulterior motives clamoring to abolish traditional Chinese medicine, which made Xiao Yi feel angry. Perhaps, this time, he was lucky enough to survive and be reborn in a traditional Chinese medicine clinic. It was destined that traditional Chinese medicine would be revitalized in his hands. Not to mention Xiaoyue, as long as anyone who was interested in traditional Chinese medicine wanted to learn the Four - Elephant Acupuncture Method, Xiao Yi would teach it without hesitation. Wasn't this also a kind of merit? "Ha - ha, that's great," Qin Xiaoyue exclaimed happily. Old Qin in the next room roared, "Xiaoyue, why don't you go back to your room and sleep?" Qin Xiaoyue made a face, and both she and Xiao Nanli chuckled softly. "Brother Xiao, you have a rest. I'm leaving," Qin Xiaoyue stood up, patted her little hands, and said. "Okay," Xiao Yi said with a smile. However, after Qin Xiaoyue left, Xiao Yi didn't rest. Instead, he went to the front clinic and grabbed a portion of herbs according to a prescription in his mind. There was a modern - style instrument for boiling traditional Chinese medicine in the clinic. After fiddling with it for a while, Xiao Yi understood how to use it. He plugged it in and poured all the herbs into the instrument. After boiling for more than an hour, Xiao Yi finally held a bowl of thick medicinal juice and returned to his room. He sat cross - legged on the bed, raised his head, and drank all the scarlet - red medicinal juice. Immediately, he closed his mouth, hid his tongue, and focused his mind, starting to practice the "Profound Medical Canon". The "Profound Medical Canon" had seven levels, namely Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, Tribulation Crossing, and True Immortal. However, before the real cultivation, Xiao Yi needed to rely on the power of the medicine to expel the waste and stagnation accumulated in this body and unblock the meridians. This stage should be very short. Xiao Yi called it the body - refinement stage. And this stage was divided into three levels: Heaven, Earth, and Human. With the improvement of each level, the physical constitution would have a qualitative leap, and the cultivation would progress by leaps and bounds.
