364: Chapter 361 Finding in Nature

"I've heard of it, it's milky white."

"Hmm, a healthy one is usually milky white or a very pale yellow. Usually, after storing it for a week, it turns a faint yellow. Most lose their stickiness in about an hour. Yours, I suspect, could be turned into a specimen."

Li Changsheng shook his head, speechless. He really didn't know how to treat this.

"Old Zhang? Old Zhang! Old Zhang, what's wrong with you!"

"Holy crap, what's wrong with Old Zhang? This sturdy lad can faint just from sunbathing?"

Old Chen, who had just come upstairs, saw Old Zhang slumped on the floor with his head tilted to the side and panicked.

The crowd immediately scrambled into action, pinching his philtrum and slapping his face, finally managing to wake Old Zhang up.

"I... I... What happened to me?"

Old Zhang looked confused and scratched his head. "I think I just had a nightmare. I dreamed I couldn't have children?"

"No! I... I... I really am sterile! Wah~"

Suddenly, this burly man from the North cried like a child, curled up into a ball, looking so pitiful, weak, and helpless.

Watching this scene, everyone fell silent. The world is full of wonders, and the magical nature of Kung Fu is truly unheard of!

Old Chen had just learned the full story. He admitted that he had almost laughed himself crazy, but now he couldn't possibly kick his big brother while he was down.

Although Old Zhang liked to mock him on normal days, but... damn it, he really couldn't hold it in!

Mmm-hmm-uh~

"Old Chen, did you get a stitch?"

Old Zhang glanced at Old Chen with an unfriendly expression.

"Yes... yes... Boss Ma insisted that I perform some Kung Fu, and I got a bit of a stitch." Old Chen hurriedly poked his ribs with both hands to control himself.

"Sigh, Old Zhang, I, this Daoist, never thought about having children either. Just follow me and Cultivate the Dao. I see that your Virgin Boy Skills are quite good. If you continue to Cultivate, you can return to the Innate state."

Zhou Sheng patted Old Zhang on the shoulder with a sigh. He wasn't wrong; he really thought highly of Old Zhang.

A little brother of this quality would probably die out soon. By then, the masculine air would gradually fade away, and he would complete the state of Yin and Yang convergence, similar to the Sunflower Manual in Wuxia novels. He would truly return to the Innate state internally, his skin would become delicate, his martial arts would reach Major Achievement, and achieving the status of a Grandmaster would be just around the corner.

"It's not without a solution, Old Zhang. Zhou Sheng isn't lying to you. Returning to the Innate state—isn't that the Realm you envy me for entering? Right now, your Virgin Boy Skills have only been leaked once, so the impact isn't major. Keep eating more sea cucumbers, abalone, and clams, and you can make up for the deficiency." Li Changsheng also nodded.

"Screw you guys! I... I... I'm going to break my practice. Who wants to learn this damn Virgin Boy Skills? I'll teach you! I'm not learning it anymore!"

"By the way, Old Li, aren't you skilled in medicine? Think of something. I'll be working for you from now on, and you wouldn't want to see my legacy cut off after just one generation, would you?"

Old Zhang grabbed Li Changsheng's thigh. His mournful words were enough to make anyone sad and tearful upon hearing them.

"Old Li, don't you want to read medical books? I'll buy them for you every day! The Gu Clan and my family have some ancient medical texts, and I'll find them all for you. Save me! Save the child!"

Li Changsheng had black lines on his forehead. It seemed Old Zhang was really desperate; he had never seen Old Zhang like this before.

"Ahem. Old Zhang, I've read about the general principles of the Shaolin Virgin Boy Skills in books. It must be started in childhood to strengthen the inside and the outside, keeping it hidden without revealing it. It nourishes the kidneys and solidifies essence, returning essence to nourish the brain."

"But modern Virgin Boy Skills emphasize that when it's full, it should be released, like water overflowing when the container is full. What you are cultivating must be the secret, unpassed method of ancient practitioners—the method of refining essence into Qi. However, this 'refining essence into Qi' is not the same as the ordinary martial arts version."

"The best version of Virgin Boy Skills nowadays is the improved version from the ancestors of the modern martial arts Grandmaster, Master Wan. You can ask Master Wan about this; he should know."

Li Changsheng sighed as he spoke, "Consult Master Wan. You can continue to practice the Virgin Boy Skills. See if you can practice the improved version without affecting your current Foundation."

"Okay! I'll go find Master Wan in a bit. What else?" Old Zhang looked at Li Changsheng eagerly.

"As for this, eat more seafood like sea cucumbers and abalone recently. And... try to release it more first to see if the color can be purified. If that really doesn't work, Old Chen, take Old Zhang to Hong Kong to find a bathhouse girl. You go for 'hair washing' often, right? You should have connections."

"As the saying goes, Yin and Yang must intersect. Your situation is special, Old Zhang, so you must use external factors to guide it a little." Li Changsheng rubbed his chin and pondered.

He had absolutely no clue how to treat it specifically because, according to modern medical judgment, Old Zhang was completely hopeless. If he continued to Cultivate for another ten years or so, even if he cut that thing off to soak in wine, he wouldn't feel a thing.

"Old Chen, have I been good to you in the past? You can't just stand by and watch me die! With that head of yours, you must go for 'hair washing' quite often!"

Old Zhang looked at Old Chen, as if to say, 'You bastard, you have to take me to see the world.'

Old Chen touched the top of his head, which had become a bit balder today, thinking to himself, *Is it that obvious?*

"Ahem, Old Zhang, Old Li, don't you dare slander me. I go for legitimate hair washing! You are just spouting nonsense and framing me!"

"Old Chen, if you dare not take me, I'll make you just like me!" Old Zhang said fiercely.

"Uh, although I go for legitimate hair washing, I do know some illegitimate ones. Let me state first, I have never been there. This is for a friend; otherwise, I would never go to such a filthy place!"

Old Chen spoke righteously. Of course, even without the threat, he would still help.

After all, his relationship with Old Zhang was indeed good, and after today, it would be difficult for him and Old Zhang to meet again tomorrow.

His home was in Guangdong Province. He had just gone down for a stroll, and since the cruise ship wasn't leaving until tomorrow, he came back up to wander around again, but he didn't expect to run into this trouble.

"Let's try this first. I'll study some medical texts these next few days. Your situation is too special."

Li Changsheng shook his head and sighed. It was more than just special; it was unheard of.

Any veteran practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine would be silenced upon seeing this.

Old Zhang had no choice. He felt Li Changsheng had a way, so he followed Old Chen to the bathhouse to have some fun.

Watching Old Zhang leave, Zhou Sheng, who was on the side, stroked his beard and sighed, shaking his head.

"Sigh, what a good seedling for Cultivating the Dao. If he were to Cultivate the Dao, he wouldn't need to seek the method of External Alchemy like I do. His Internal Alchemy method is already more than half complete. He only needs to maintain it, and in time, Immortal Ascension will not be far off! What a pity, what a pity!"

Hearing this from Zhou Sheng, Li Changsheng's expression became strange.

Come to think of it, Zhou Sheng's statement was also correct. In ancient times, there were two types of Internal Alchemy practitioners. One was purely ascetic, emphasizing the body without leakage, Cultivating the body's essence, Qi, and spirit.

The second type was the method practiced by the old immortal of the Jiajing era, which emphasized that when it is full, it should overflow, and they even specifically researched the rules for when to visit their consorts after a certain number of days.

Those who practiced asceticism preferred the former, believing it to be the most ancient method, while some high-ranking officials and nobles, or rational practitioners of the Dao, mainly followed the second method.

It emphasized Laozi's 'governing by doing nothing' and acting according to nature, seeking balance within the natural laws of the human body.
