Chapter 143 The Power of Self-Preservation
Then Ye Yu lit the fire again and put the remaining brown rice in to cook.
Soon, the rice was cooked and smelled fragrant. He threw the remaining salted fish in and heated it up. When the temperature of the rice dropped a little, Ye Yu began to eat.
Although I didn't practice internal cultivation techniques just now, practicing Qigong is also quite mentally exhausting. Although I don't need to draw on my own essence, the mental exhaustion means that the energy consumption in my body will increase.
So you will get hungry faster than usual.
In a few moments, Ye Yu had finished the whole pot of rice.
His belly began to swell up like before, but as Ye Yu used internal cultivation techniques to circulate digestion, his abdomen gradually became flat again. He did not dare to practice the internal cultivation techniques for too long, and soon, Ye Yu stopped.
But at this time, Ye Yu felt that his body was much more comfortable.
"Huh, my body is a little bit more normal now."
After today, this shaky body that was on the verge of death has been restored to a normal state.
Although still skinny, it has become much more lively.
Now the food has run out, and this is not Peicheng outside. A curfew has already been imposed.
Just now, out of consideration for my fragile stomach organs, I didn't dare to speed up the digestion of food.
So his stomach was still a little full, and without thinking too much for the time being, Ye Yu went back to the room, lay down on the bed, and began to rest.
With Ye Yu's spiritual and mental cultivation, he fell asleep completely within a few breaths of lying down.
And it is the deepest level of sleep. Once you enter the deepest level of sleep, the body's cells are more active, the recovery ability will be greatly increased, and the best self-repair effect will be achieved.
It was a dreamless night, and when Ye Yu opened his eyes again, it was already bright.
Ye Yu stood up and felt that his physical condition was much better than yesterday. He was full of energy and his limbs were full of strength.
After a quick wash, Ye Yu took out dozens of coins from the secret compartment under the bed. This was one of the places where his original body hid money. In addition, there was one or two taels of silver and dozens of coins hidden under the foot of the bed against the wall.
In fact, all his property consisted of the money in these two places, including the savings left to him by his father.
The original body was still young and didn't catch much fish. It was even difficult for him to balance his income and expenditure, so naturally he didn't have much savings.
After taking out a few dozen coins, Ye Yu walked straight out the door.
I came to a noodle stall and spent a dozen cents to eat a bowl of minced meat noodles to fill my stomach. Then I went to a bun stall and bought a dozen vegetarian meat buns, eating while walking.
I went to the market and bought a few pounds of rice and some pork offal, spending all the dozens of coins I had.
His previous life was used to living frugally. If he had not died, he would have been heartbroken to death after seeing Ye Yu spend almost a penny of silver in a blink of an eye.
But Ye Yu naturally didn't care so much. The most urgent task now was to make sure he was full at every meal, and he had to eat some meat, otherwise he would not get enough nutrition.
In other words, his previous life was too poor, otherwise Ye Yu would not have bought pork offal, but would have directly bought chickens, ducks and geese, stewed them in turn, and eaten the meat and drank the soup to supplement his nutrition.
"But don't worry for now. Today is just a preliminary check of the surrounding situation. I will compare it with the original body's memory and be steady."
Ye Yu thought to himself.
In his current physical condition, he couldn't be high-profile even if he wanted to. It didn't matter if he spent all his savings. The important thing was to recover as soon as possible and gain control of his power.
Ye Yu ate buns along the way, and silently practiced his internal cultivation techniques to speed up digestion. By the time he bought rice and pork offal and walked back, all the buns had been digested in his stomach.
Ye Yu suddenly felt that his frail body had gained some strength. Because his body was so frail, he could feel the improvement clearly.
After returning to the dilapidated courtyard, Ye Yu silently recalled his original body's memories and compared them with the parts of the Zhenhu City scenes he had seen when he went out just now.
From the current perspective, the lives of people in this world are indeed similar to those in ancient times, but this dynasty is called Shen Song, which is not the historical dynasty that Ye Yu knows.
Wash the rice and put it in the pot, then clean the pig offal, cut the ginger and add some wine to remove the fishy smell, then throw everything into the pot and simmer together.
After finishing his work, Ye Yu looked at himself through the water in the basin. Compared with the skinny boy who was struggling on the brink of life and death yesterday, today not only was his face a little rosier, but his cheeks also seemed not so sunken.
However, looking at his thin arms and the protruding ribs on his chest, Ye Yu knew that he would have to focus on health care in the next few days.
If I try anything else, I'm afraid my body won't be able to bear it. It doesn't matter if I die, but I'd better not lose the image of the Sun Emperor, otherwise it would be a loss.
Ye Yu continued to lie back on the tattered chair in the yard that was about to fall apart, and began to practice the Great Sun Golden Light Mantra, occasionally adding some firewood.
Work hard to improve your strength.
Another three to five days passed like this...
Inside the dilapidated courtyard, a young man in coarse linen clothes was lying on a chair to rest.
Suddenly, the young man slowly opened his eyes, and a ray of brilliance escaped.
"Huh, after several days of recuperation, my body has finally undergone significant changes." Ye Yu stood up and muttered to himself.
During these few days, Ye Yu had almost spent all the money left by his predecessor. He had meat for every meal and plenty of rice, which he digested with internal cultivation techniques. He then practiced the Great Sun Golden Light Mantra to gather spiritual matter and the sun's mysterious substance to nourish his body.
After three or five days, even his appearance has changed a lot.
The boy was originally very thin and frail. He was severely beaten at home and was bedridden. He looked even more emaciated after being hungry for several days.
But now, his originally sunken cheeks have become plump, and the protruding ribs on his chest have now turned into undulating muscles with faintly visible lines.
The muscles in the hands and legs are even more obvious, and with a little effort, the muscle lines appear undulating.
In fact, his original appearance was not bad, he was just too thin before, but now he looks quite handsome.
Not only his body, but also his temperament has changed a lot. Every move he makes has a graceful scholarly air. He doesn't look like an illiterate fisherman, but rather like a young man from aristocratic family.
"Finally, I have some power to protect myself."
At this time, there was still a wisp of light golden true energy flowing through Ye Yu's meridians.
By using the Sun Emperor's Dharma Image to pry open the mysterious material energy of the sun, it can naturally be directly converted into true energy, which is naturally a level higher than internal force.
With Ye Yu's use, this wisp of light golden true energy at least had some initial self-protection power.
"The next two goals are: one is to improve my own strength as quickly as possible, and the other is to learn more about this world. It would be best if I could find out what the highest level of cultivation in this world is like as soon as possible."
Ye Yu said secretly in his heart.
After looking at the weather, Ye Yu took out the remaining dozen copper coins from the house and walked out.
