Chapter 270 270. Long-lost medicinal bath
```
The girls averaged a flight speed of over 200 kilometers per hour, and Yu Yanmei, boosted by true qi, even managed to reach speeds of 300 kilometers per hour.
With over 1000 kilometers from Imperial City to Yunzhou, they arrived in just half a day, and that was while playing around in the sky along the way.
For them, the journey was nothing but relaxing and enjoyable, to the point that they still felt unsatisfied upon arriving home.
As for Lu Yao, he was dead tired. Carrying the luxury car over a distance of more than 1000 kilometers without once taking a seat, he literally brought the car back by sheer muscle!
When he returned on the third evening, he was even half a day later than Zhang Jin and the others.
At that moment, Lu Yao was covered in dust, his body ached all over, and he was nearly too exhausted to even breathe, appearing extremely fatigued.
But Lu Yao's eyes were exceptionally bright, and he was quite exhilarated, "The 'Dragon Elephant Skill' and the 'Dragon Roar Golden Bell Shield' have made small progress!"
These two cumbersome techniques would take an ordinary person three years just to reach minor proficiency. But Lu Yao had done it in one month, and that was with both techniques simultaneously.
He felt his body had become even more powerful; his strength increased by thousands of pounds, and the resilience of his tendons and flesh had also improved.
The most direct benefit was that using the "Tathagata Divine Palm: Buddha Shakes Mountains and Rivers" felt even more natural. Its power had slightly increased, and the after-effects were not as severe post-use.
"Continuing to train like this, once the two techniques reach a higher level, my strength and body defense will skyrocket. My constitution will be greatly enhanced, significantly speeding up the blood exchange process and laying a solid foundation for advancing to the Innate Realm!"
~~~~~~~~~~
As he was feeling invigorated, Liao Ya had already brought over a large basin of water, pouring it over him from head to foot, washing off the dirt and grime.
Liao Qe had prepared a medicinal bath to let her beloved soak and relieve his fatigue.
Lu Yao stripped off his clothes and stepped into the luxurious bathing tub filled with steaming hot water, letting out a comfortable sigh.
"Hoo~ so comfortable! When I go back to Blue Star, I'll have to extract the formula for this medicinal bath too."
The medicinal bath was no longer keeping up with his progress, but it did indeed alleviate fatigue.
And there was an even better cure for fatigue coming up~
Li Pei and Liao Qe took off their outer garments and, wearing only their underclothes, joined him in the bath. One used the "Dynamic Dragon-Subduing Art," the other the "Foot Comfort Technique," and began to massage him.
Lu Yao was so comfortable that he couldn't even speak.
As a Blood-Exchange Warrior, his body recovered from fatigue exceptionally quickly under the ministrations of the two sisters and soon he was as lively as a dragon.
Especially now, with two soft, fair hands massaging him.
Like drought-stricken land yearning for rain, Lu Yao was ready to respond to any provocation.
The sister quickly pleaded for mercy, "Stop joking around—Li Pei is watching!"
Li Pei squinted her eyes, wearing a mischievous smirk, "I'm actually quite curious to see~"
"Curious about what..."
Liao Qe started to retort, but abruptly let out a scream, "If you dare bully me, I will never speak to you again! I mean it!"
Seeing her anxious expression, Li Pei laughed out loud, "Okay, okay, don't get excited, I'll leave~"
She got up and left the tub, and just as she was leaving the room with her clothes, the door not yet fully closed, she heard Liao Qe's cries.
"Tsk, tsk~ so impatient."
Drying the water on her body with her inner breath, Li Pei dressed and went to the lake to practice the "Carp Stance" by herself.
This Liao Family stance technique was quite practical, but the key was that it could enhance the curves of one's waist and hips!
Having long envied the Liao Family Sisters' peach-like figures, Li Pei had begged for this stance and practiced it diligently every day.
Actually, her curves weren't bad either, but a woman's pursuit of beauty is endless~
```
~~~~~~~~
On the second day early in the morning, Lu Yao got up feeling refreshed and immediately sent a fast message to Zhou He—[Come quickly to copy the secret manual.]
Then he sat in the pavilion, watching a group of girls practice martial arts,
"Li Pei is practicing Carp Stance? She's already undergone the Blood-Exchange, so why bother with this?"
"Hmm, Liao Ya and Liao Qe's Dragon Chant Golden Bell Cover is nearly at minor accomplishment. With the aid of this technique, advancing through the Blood-Exchange Mirror should go smoother."
"Su Ernie has tempered her bones, not bad at all. She's been refining her body for quite some time now, her foundation is solid. It's time to lend her a hand in her breakthrough."
The young girl practiced the Liao Family Fist with precise movements, occasionally producing a crisp sound.
With the support of her elders, her path in cultivation will be unimaginably smooth. With divine skills, elixirs, and massages all readily available, plus her own excellent talent and temperament, she's sure to achieve great success.
~~~~~~~~~~
At that moment, a commotion came from the sky.
Yu Yanmei and Ping An were seen brawling, clutching each other's claws and spiraling down from the sky, smashing a tree as thick as a bowl's mouth.
Even after standing up, they didn't stop. They beat each other with their wings, flinging dirt, stones, wood chips, and feathers about until Lu Yao shouted, "Stop fighting!"
Only then did Yu Yanmei and Ping An sheepishly cease their scuffle, each casting a glare at their opponent before flying off separately;
Ji Xiang shrewdly landed beside Lu Yao, cackling as if complaining about the two overly boisterous companions.
The three falcons had become more spirited after their marrow cleansing, but recently, for some reason, they started vying for the position of "tribal leader."
Yu Yanmei, the naïve one, and the proud Ping An would occasionally get into fights.
Ji Xiang cunningly watched from the side; now it even cozied up to its owner to earn favor, getting a massage and sprawling blissfully on the ground.
It was also because they were too disruptive that Grandmaster Yu did not stay in "Jin Garden" but instead took residence on a pleasure boat at the garden's dock.
The pleasure boat was originally prepared for the owner of Jin Garden to enjoy boat trips on Su River, but it had not been used by Lu Yao and the others; now it happened to be convenient for Yu Yanmei. Read exclusive content at empire
Regarding her advancement, the group dared not say much; after all, it was a matter of life and death.
~~~~~~~~~~
Thus, a leisurely morning passed, and Zhou He arrived with a happy grin.
"Lu Xiao-you~ah, no, that's wrong~it should be Lu Juren! Your exploits in Imperial City have earned you quite the reputation. Even my Sect Leader senior brother can't stop singing your praises~"
"Ha, it was nothing more than slaughtering a few Izumo bandits."
Both men took their seats inside the pavilion, with Zhou He sizing Lu Yao up and praising,
"The divine light within you is concealed, and you carry yourself like a hidden dragon in an abyss. It seems you've gained much, truly a case of 'becoming unrecognizable after a mere three days'!"
"Not bad, I did gain something."
Lu Yao took out the "Tathagata Divine Palm: Buddha Shakes Mountains and Rivers," and his transcribed 'Nirvana Sutra,' laying them on the stone table.
"I acquired a few secret manuals to exchange with Daoist Zhou."
Upon seeing these two renowned books, Zhou He laughed, "You are really generous."
"I have always believed in repaying even the smallest favor with a spring-like bounty."
"Then I won't hold back." Given their close relationship, Zhou He didn't bother with formalities and began to flip through the two secret manuals, etching their contents into his mind.
When he came across the 'Nirvana Sutra,' Zhou He slowed down considerably, his furrowed brows indicating that he was deeply contemplative.
It took nearly a quarter of an hour before he finished, upon which he exclaimed, "As expected of a great monk's insights, truly thought-provoking!"
