"Bang!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

It wasn't long before dawn.

Listening to the Rain Garden on a moonlit night, from the bamboo forest in the northwest corner, there was a dull sound of fists hitting the trees.

The sound was slow at first, then gradually became faster.

At the same time, the strength also changes from light to heavy.

First the fists, then the arms, shoulders, back, legs, etc., all violently collided and hit on the trunk of the thick tree.

The skin is like iron, the trunk is like a hammer, and the inner strength is like blazing fire.

Repeatedly hammering and tempering, thousands of times, hammer out impurities and refine it into refined iron!

Luo Qingzhou was afraid of breaking his clothes, so after his whole body became hot, he took off his clothes and only wore shorts. Then in this cold winter morning, he was naked, sweating like rain, and violently bumped into each other with his body over and over again.

Hitting the tree trunk!

The skin begins to harden, then softens, and then hardens again.

Repeated many times, it started to crack.

The pain comes.

He recovered briefly and continued to temper as fiercely as iron...

Sweating like rain.

There were traces of blood seeping out from the cracked skin, but he did not stop, endured the pain, and continued to hammer violently...

The birds in the bamboo forest were frightened at first and fled everywhere.

But in the end, it was discovered that this crazy human boy seemed to only like to hit trees and had no interest in little things like them, so he calmed down again.

The cold wind blew by, making the branches and leaves of the bamboo forest rustle.

The withered yellow bamboo leaves fell down, covering the ground with a thick leaf carpet.

Among the lotus bushes in the lake outside, the green leaves waved and the red lotuses nodded, like a beautiful girl dancing under the clear water and blue sky.

The attic, reflected in the lake, stands in the winter sunshine and remains silent.

A day passes quietly.

The sun sets in the west.

A pool of lake water was ruffled by the wind, clouds filled the sky, and the lake sparkled like stars embedded in the lake. The red lotus roots were beautiful and the willows were intoxicated.

The scenery at dusk is so beautiful.

After Luo Qingzhou finished practicing, he was covered in sweat and hungry.

When I was about to put on my clothes and go back, I suddenly saw the misty lake outside the bamboo forest.

Like the lake in Chengguofu, the water here is also warm. I wonder if it’s because of the natural hot springs below.

"Why don't you go down and take a shower before going back?"

Now my body is covered with sweat and dirt. If I want to go out, I have to put on these clean clothes, which will definitely get dirty.

And after returning home, I still have to waste time boiling water to take a shower.

It is inconvenient to change water in a wooden barrel.

Normally I'm fine and my body is clean, a bucket of water is enough. But since I started practicing, a bucket of water is not enough at all.

After washing it once, the entire bucket of water turned black and it couldn't be washed clean at all.

The lake is warm and so big, it is definitely a good place for a bath.

Moreover, it was already evening at this time, and it would be dark soon, so no one would come.

Luo Qingzhou no longer hesitated, took his clothes and pants, walked out of the bamboo forest, glanced at the arch in the distance, and then carefully observed the lake and other places. After seeing that there was no one, he ran out quickly, and then "

With a pop, he jumped into the lake in the corner.

Water splashes everywhere.

A stream of warm water instantly enveloped the entire body.

Cool!

This lake fruit is indeed a perfect place for bathing!

It was cold and freezing on the shore, but the water was as warm as spring. My whole body was immersed in the water, and the aches and pains seemed to be relieved a lot.

Due to the large temperature difference, the lake surface is shrouded in mist and hazy.

He was in the water and almost no one could see him.

Even if someone walks close, it is difficult to spot it without looking carefully.

But it was getting dark, so he didn't dare to stay longer.

I quickly rubbed my whole body over and over again, and after scrubbing all the dirt off my body, I immediately went ashore, put on my clothes and pants, and returned to the small courtyard.

Feeling warm and comfortable all over.

Xiaodie had already brought dinner and was waiting eagerly at the door.

After seeing him, he quickly said: "Master, are you going to the lake alone again? It's been a long time since the servants have been back. Go and eat quickly, the food is almost cold."

"You don't have to wait for me next time, just eat first."

Luo Qingzhou entered the small courtyard, sat down and started eating.

After a whole day of high-intensity practice, the food in my stomach had already been digested, and my stomach started to growl in the afternoon.

It seems that I will have to get more meat to eat in the future.

The secret book has already stated that cultivators should eat enough meat every day so that they can have the strength to persist in practicing and increase their qi and blood faster and strengthen their physique.

The qualitative change of the skin film is also inseparable from the continuous replenishment of energy.

Fortunately now, the requirements for leather refining are not too high.

When it comes to refining meat and bones, the daily amount of meat is required to be higher, and it is even stated that it is best to eat the flesh and blood of beasts, even monsters, so that the effect will be twice the result with half the effort.

But now is not the time to worry about the future.

Make the skin mask perfect first, and then make plans for the future.

If you can't even pass the level of skin refining, there is no need to continue practicing in the future.

"Young Master has not eaten, so this servant cannot eat."

Xiaodie followed over and was stunned for a moment, staring at his hair suspiciously with her big eyes open: "Master, why is your hair wet? Have you taken a shower?"

Luo Qingzhou felt there was no need to lie to her: "I washed it in the lake in front."

Xiaodie suddenly opened her eyes wide and said with a frightened face: "Lake... lake? Young Master ran into the lake to take a bath alone? Oh, I heard from Sister Qiu'er that the water in the lake is so deep. If Young Master...

...If something happens, what will I do?"

The little girl was so frightened that her voice became trembling when she spoke.

In her impression, the young master was too weak to go into the water. He would probably drown if he did.

Luo Qingzhou smiled and comforted: "It's okay, I can swim, and I wash right next to it. It's not too deep."

Then he said: "Xiaodie, the lake water is like a hot spring. It is very comfortable to take a bath. You can also take a bath when the time comes."

Upon hearing this, Xiaodie hurriedly shook her head: "Master, I don't want it. There... there will be people there who will see it."

Luo Qingzhou smiled and said: "Very few people go there, and we can wait until dark before washing. It's full of fog and no one can see it."

Xiaodie opened her mouth, her face turned red, she glanced at him secretly, and said nothing.

Luo Qingzhou looked up and heard what she was saying: "I...we...Young Master said that we...Young Master are going to wash with others...with others? It's so embarrassing...can you do it every night?"

?”

Luo Qingzhou: "..."

At this moment, Bai Ling's crisp and sweet voice suddenly came from the door: "Uncle, are you at home?"

Xiaodie woke up with a start and ran over to open the door.

Luo Qingzhou's eyes flashed, he put down his bowls and chopsticks, and looked at the door. His heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and his mind couldn't help but think of those two nights of love.

The courtyard door opens.

Bai Ling, dressed in a pink dress, walked in cheerfully: "My uncle is still eating. Did you have a hard time studying today?"

Luo Qingzhou glanced at her clear and bright eyes and her sweet face with slight dimples, then moved his gaze downwards, taking a quick look at her slender waist and graceful figure.

Of course, there are also towering breasts.

However, nothing was seen.

"Miss Bai Ling, is there something wrong with you coming so late?"
