Cultivation Maniac
After Hao Yi improved the red medicinal oil, it really took effect immediately. Early the next morning, when Ding Xuan got up, he found that the swelling and redness in his knee had eased a lot. After getting out of bed and walking around on the floor a few times, he no longer felt that searing pain. He was overjoyed. He had not expected the young master to actually understand medicine.
He opened the door and ran to the room across from him. That was his parents’ room. After cleaning it up, Hao Yi had been sleeping there, while he still slept in his own room.
“Young Master! Young…” Ding Xuan ran in, wanting to tell Hao Yi the good news, but the moment he went inside, he saw a very strange scene.
He looked suspiciously at Hao Yi, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed with both hands resting on his legs, and could not help thinking of the costume dramas he had watched before. Some martial artists in them meditated and circulated their inner energy just like that.
He grinned and said, “Young Master, why are you sitting like the people on TV?”
Long before Ding Xuan came in, Hao Yi had already known. He slowly let out his breath, then opened his eyes and looked at Ding Xuan, who was smiling brightly. His gaze slowly moved to Ding Xuan’s knee as he asked, “Better?”
Ding Xuan realized what Hao Yi was asking and immediately nodded. “Yeah, a lot better! Look!”
As he spoke, he bent down and rolled up his trouser leg, exposing his knee. “It was still swollen high yesterday, and walking hurt a lot. After I put on the medicine and slept, it’s gone down now and doesn’t hurt anymore. Young Master, how did you know about this?”
He had thought that this young master only knew how to waste the family’s money….
“Mm, I learned it before.” Hao Yi naturally would not say that in his previous life, when he had lived alone, he had handled his own injuries and minor illnesses himself. He had even once opened a clinic to treat some poor people, but after a year, he had closed it because of some circumstances.
“Young Master, what were you just doing?” Thinking of Hao Yi’s posture just now, Ding Xuan asked curiously.
“Thinking about something,” Hao Yi answered quietly.
Ding Xuan let out an “oh” and said, “Young Master, I’ll make breakfast for you. Good thing there’s still rice at home.”
With that, he had already gone out.
Hao Yi got out of bed and stood on the floor, twisting his neck and kicking out his legs. He felt pretty good.
It was just that Hao Yi frowned at the results of a whole night of cultivation. He was clearly very dissatisfied.
After all, he had once reached a high cultivation level in his previous life. Now he was being made to start from zero again, and cultivate in a place with thin spiritual energy at that. Progress would naturally be very slow. At this rate, who knew how long it would take to reach Qi Refining Stage One.
However, Hao Yi did not lose patience because of the slow pace. He simply thought it was too slow. It was not to the point of giving up cultivation.
One had to know that among the famous nicknames he had in his previous life, one was the cultivation maniac.
Days passed one by one. After Hao Yi left school, he never went back even once, and no one from the Hao family came looking for him either.
Ding Xuan did go out every day. Household necessities and groceries were all bought by him from the city.
Because it was quite far from the city, Hao Yi got him a motorcycle to make it easier for him to get around. After all, there was no bus station nearby, and the only way to get to the city was by taking a minivan.
Hao Yi changed from constantly staying out all night at clubs and bars to now either staying home or going mountain climbing. Occasionally, he would even bring back some flowers and grass. His life gradually became simple and regular.
At first, Ding Xuan had been somewhat doubtful about Hao Yi’s change, but little by little, he got used to it. The two of them got along very harmoniously, and after Hao Yi’s change, Ding Xuan himself became a lot more optimistic too.
Time flew like the passing of the sun and moon. Two peaceful months went by, yet on this day, Hao Yi waited until very late and still did not wait for Ding Xuan to come back……
