Chapter 3: Healing in the Valley

  This body's head was hit by a palm force that shattered stones and jade, and then fell from a cliff dozens of meters high. If it weren't for being a cultivator in the Refining Body stage, with skin, flesh, and bones far tougher than ordinary people, it would have been smashed into a mangled mess.

  Even so, it was a burst of skin and flesh, multiple fractures, and twisted into a strange contorted posture on the ground.

  What's wrong?

  Although there were memories of two lifetimes in his mind, at this time, the ones that could still be effective were those originally belonging to Su Che that were related to cultivation.

  Before becoming a formal practitioner of Qi, the cultivator trains their physical body in various ways to strengthen their physical constitution, laying a foundation for cultivating true Qi. With a solid enough foundation, as long as they can obtain a suitable method for practicing Qi, it shouldn't be difficult to cultivate true Qi.

  Of course, the premise is that one must have a spiritual root, which is the most basic qualification. If there is no spiritual root at all, talking about immortality and the Tao is purely fanciful, and there is not even half of the qualifications.

  The quality of the spiritual root is a secondary matter, let's not mention it for now. The urgent task at hand is to rely on the cultivation method of refining the body to heal the injury, and first recover the most basic ability to move before considering other things.

  The cultivation method, Su Che had already repeated it countless times in his past life, although it was a soul parasitizing after death, since he had absorbed all the memories, with a little practice, he could do it smoothly.

  The Kung Fu exercises had been going on for two weeks, and it seemed that the parched earth had received the nourishment of rainwater. Su Che felt much better, obviously, his body had more energy.

  He struggled to sit up, enduring intense pain as he adjusted his posture, half-sitting and half-leaning against the stone beside him, once again beginning to circulate his internal energy.

  As expected, that strange twisted posture earlier would have added quite a bit of difficulty to the operation of the skill, now it's much better.

  The exercises in the Refining Body stage, the energy circulating inside the body is not true Qi but rather a low-level internal force that has been reduced by who-knows-how-many levels, still belonging to the category of ordinary martial arts. The effect of healing injuries also cannot be immediate.

  This is the experience of past life memories, in theory, at least three days should be spent here to stand up, and it is necessary to rely on a pair of crutches to have hope to leave this place.

  But it turned out that the actual situation was much better than I had imagined!

  Too good too much already.

  Su Che clearly felt a fine warm current gushing out from the depths of his brow, like a gentle brook, flowing along with his inner strength throughout his body, exceptionally comfortable, gradually eliminating all the pain in his body.

  Not to mention the changes in other wounds, the most severe fracture site actually emitted a faint sound, rustling, as if tens of millions of ants were biting the body, and at first listen, it was indeed somewhat eerie.

  But it's just an illusion, nothing is eating itself, there's no pain at all, just a little itch.

  At first, Su Che thought that the memories he had absorbed were incorrect or incomplete, and that there must have been something he couldn't understand.

  It wasn't until later that I suddenly remembered, this body's brain didn't just have an extra brand new soul, but also a mysterious little pagoda!

  It was this small tower that saved his life and brought his soul to this mountain valley...

  So the strange warm current from the depths of his eyebrows is undoubtedly contributed by Xiao Ta, it's just that it's hidden in his own brain and he doesn't have the ability to directly observe it with introspection yet.

  "This little tower is not simple!"

  Even if it were a shallow and insignificant person, Su Che would not find it difficult to guess that this small tower must be an extremely precious treasure, its origin is by no means simple, as the saying goes "to possess jade and incur calamity", this matter cannot be revealed to anyone.

  After all, he had been a catcher for four years and often dealt with various types of criminals. In terms of the degree of meticulous thinking, he was definitely much stronger than that fourteen-year-old soul who had already dissipated.

  "This warm current has an extremely strong healing effect, so to speak, in almost a whole day, the fracture should basically heal, even if it can't fight normally, like an ordinary person walking, it's still no problem."

  Enjoying the comfort brought by the warm current, Su Che was silently calculating and analyzing in his heart. This was not only to predict the effect of healing, but also to better and faster grind memories, and to promote the thorough fusion of the soul and body.

  At the same time, I was also secretly anxious in my heart. After all, this is a deep mountain and wilderness, and if a fierce beast were to rush into this valley, with no ability to resist, I might end up being brutally killed by the beast. If that's really the case, I wonder if the little tower in my mind would bring my soul back to life once again...

  Alas, at present, we can only resign ourselves to fate.

  Nervously and carefully treating the injury, after slowly enduring several hours, the recovery situation was better than expected. At least, the upper body could move slightly, and both arms had some strength.

  Su Che supported his hands on the ground and adjusted his sitting posture again. The more upright his posture, the more it helped with the circulation of his breath...

  Suddenly, a rustling sound came from a nearby thicket of wild grass, as if something was moving towards this direction.

  Su Che's nerves were stretched taut, his eyes wide with fear as he stared fixedly at the clump of wild grass.

  It was already late afternoon, the setting sun's slanting rays were blocked by the mountain wall, casting a dense shadow, and that patch of wild grass was in the shade.

  Su Che's position was somewhat backlit, the sunset was dazzling, looking over there felt hazy and unclear...

  However, the uninvited guest did not make Su Che wait for long. It soon emerged from the wild grass and turned out to be a green wolf bigger than a calf.

  Su Che took a deep breath of cool air and blinked twice involuntarily.

  Grey wolves live in packs, while blue wolves are solitary. Anyone with a little hunting knowledge knows that the combat power of a blue wolf is equivalent to three or four grey wolves. When they're extremely hungry, they even dare to snatch food from tigers and leopards. Plus, their wolf nature is treacherous, making them more patient than other ferocious beasts, which makes them very difficult to deal with...

  Normally, Su Che's strength in the Refining Body stage would not be afraid of such a fierce beast, and with empty hands, it would only take two or three moves to kill it. However, the current situation is like a tiger falling into a plain being bullied by a dog, which is exactly what he fears most!

  Bare-handed, without any weapons, only a few broken branches scattered around, don't know if they are withered or not, might break as soon as touched.

  Alas!

  Su Che silently let out a long sigh in his heart and slowly closed his eyes.

  Have you resigned yourself to your fate?

  The cold-eyed wolf slowly approached, its nose twitching as it had long smelled the bloody scent on Su Che's body. With a big meal in front of it, the hungry wolf still maintained its cunning nature, using its animal instincts to judge whether this prey was still capable of harming it.

  Su Che was motionless, without a breath, his heartbeat almost stopped, like a dead person.

  The blue wolf bared its fangs and let out a low, menacing growl, both a probe and an intimidation.

  Su Che remained still, his right hand clenched around a tree branch, the broken end not particularly sharp.

  The blue wolf crept up, making a low humming noise, and suddenly launched an attack, dashing forward and biting Su Che's left leg at the original wound site before quickly retreating and withdrawing one zhang away.

  Damn it, still probing, this beast is really cunning.

  Su Che cursed inwardly, enduring the pain of being bitten, without even blinking.

  The green wolf, after all, was just an ordinary wild beast and couldn't tell that the warrior was in a state of feigned death. After repeated probing, it really thought this was just a corpse that hadn't even begun to rot yet, and what's more, it had been delivered right to its mouth - a delicious meal that could be devoured with abandon.

  With a crunch, the green wolf's sharp teeth sank into Su Che's thigh wound. This guy also knew how to slack off, and his next bite accurately targeted the already bloody and mangled spot.

  This mouthful was gnawed solidly, it can be said that the meat had entered three parts, next, it should be swinging the wolf's head and fiercely tearing apart the next piece of human flesh...

  Unfortunately, Su Che didn't give it this chance!

  Enduring the pain and pretending to be dead, is to thoroughly eliminate its vigilance, in order to launch the most ruthless strike. To be honest, at this point, there's only enough strength for one blow.

  Either it dies or I perish.
