When Chen Tang came out of the Scripture Pavilion, it was already late.

Ming Yuan and the Du Clan were still waiting for him in front of the Great Heroic Hall.

"Where's the help you invited?"

Seeing the elder wasn't with them, Chen Tang asked instinctively.

"He went down the mountain."

Ming Yuan smiled slightly and said, "He isn't used to living on the mountain."

The three of them walked together under the moonlight towards Xiping Temple.

Chen Tang asked, "Senior Brother, are you planning to stay overnight at Xiping Temple? The conditions there are quite basic; I'm afraid you might not be accustomed to it."

At Xiping Temple, apart from a main hall, there was nothing else.

Chen Tang usually just made a simple bed on the floor, having long been accustomed to it.

This Senior Brother Ming Yuan was bringing his wife; could they endure the conditions on the mountain?

Ming Yuan chuckled and said, "I've been staying at Xiping Temple for over ten years now."

"One year, after Ah Xi gave birth, she had her confinement period at Xiping Temple and recuperated for a long time."

Ming Yuan held the Du Clan's hand, looking at her as if reminiscence of the past filled his eyes with tenderness.

The Du Clan softly said, "Yes, during that time, thanks to Master Le Kong's help, Ping'Er was safely born."

Surprised, Chen Tang asked, "Sister-in-law gave birth at Xiping Temple?"

Buddhist temples are generally not against women.

But if a woman gave birth in a Buddhist temple, it would inevitably leave blood stains, violating the Buddhist precepts.

"Yes."

The Du Clan nodded and said, "That year, I encountered a difficult birth and was bleeding continuously. The midwife present at the time was helpless and said that only one life could be saved."

"He carried me all the way to Xiping Temple, asking Master Le Kong for assistance."

"Master Le Kong did not turn us away due to Buddhist precepts but helped us mother and son get through the crisis safely, which was really lucky."

Speaking of these past events, the Du Clan's face showed a hint of nostalgia and said, "At that time, when Ping'Er was born in the Buddhist temple, even a curious fox came over to take a peek."

Chen Tang asked, "Senior Brother, where did you come from, and will you be leaving again?"

"We came from the Capital City."

Ming Yuan said, "We've settled down in the Capital City this time and came here to report our safety to Master. The Capital City is busy, and we might not be able to leave for a while, so we are taking this opportunity to stay a few days with Master."

"From the Capital City?"

Chen Tang's eyes lit up, and he asked, "How are you doing in the Capital City, Senior Brother?"

"Just managing."

Ming Yuan laughed and said, "Barely managing to get by, but there are still quite a few troubles. So, this time leaving the Capital City is also to find help."

Chen Tang asked again, "Did you buy a house in the Capital City? Is it big?"

"Uh..."

Ming Yuan was momentarily taken aback and then said, "Basically, yes, it's quite big."

"Impressive!"

Chen Tang sincerely praised.

In the Capital City of his past life, buying a big house, let alone a toilet, was a challenge.

Chen Tang said, "If I ever have the chance to visit the Capital City, I'll come to you, Senior Brother!"

Upon hearing this, Ming Yuan's eyes brightened.

He had long wanted to invite Chen Tang to the Capital City. Seeing Chen Tang mention it of his own accord, he responded, "Why wait until the future? After we descend the mountain in a few days, you can return to the Capital City with me."

"With Junior Brother's skills, you will definitely make a name for yourself in the Capital City!"

"Ah, let's talk about it later."

Chen Tang sighed.

Let alone visiting the Capital City, he currently didn't even dare to leave Martial General Mountain.

Who knows if there are spies from the Yuwen Family or the Profound Celestial Sect around Martial General Mountain?

The Grand Commandant and the Profound Celestial Sect Leader are both in the Capital City. If he enters the city, he might not even have a trace left.

While the three were chatting, they unknowingly arrived back at Xiping Temple.

Seeing that Chen Tang seemed to have something weighing on his mind and noticing his weary appearance, Ming Yuan didn't pursue the matter further.

"Rest early."

Ming Yuan didn't disturb Chen Tang, and he and the Du Clan took the bedding they brought from the mountain, laying it in the main hall, and fell asleep without changing their clothes.

Master Le Kong seemed to have long been aware of the situation at Xinping Zen Temple, not even opening his eyes.

This battle had indeed taken a lot out of Chen Tang.

Upon returning to the main hall, as soon as Chen Tang sat down, he felt a wave of exhaustion, yearning to fall asleep immediately.

But he knew that if he fell asleep like this, he'd be sore and utterly exhausted tomorrow.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Tang gathered his energy, recalling the "Bone Marrow Cleansing Scripture" taught to him by Zhaba, and silently began to cultivate.

Most Bone Marrow Cleansing Techniques use sound to resonate with the bone marrow, achieving the goal of cutting through the bone marrow.

The "Bone Marrow Cleansing Scripture" was no exception.

Chen Tang followed the description in the "Bone Marrow Cleansing Scripture."

With his right knee holding his left knee, he adjusted his breathing with his tongue against his palate.

Let the breath in and out of the nose, steady as it reaches the sea's bottom.

Swallowing saliva with intent sent into the stomach.

Knocking his teeth to sound the heavenly drum, both hands covering the navel.

With his lips tightly closed, he breathed through his nose, tongue touching the upper palate, swallowing saliva while knocking his teeth!

This sound was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, imperceptible to anyone outside.

Yet inside Chen Tang, it was like a celestial drum, earth-shattering.

The sound resounded continuously, eventually penetrating into the bone marrow, continuously cleansing and purifying all impurities within the bone marrow!

This sensation was indeed extraordinary.

Chen Tang, just starting, felt the gradual changes occurring within his bone marrow from the first time knocking his teeth to sound the heavenly drum!

He was on the brink of achieving Great Success in the Sixth Grade.

Even though the process was extremely slow.

Chen Tang was overjoyed and used the secret techniques from the "Bone Marrow Cleansing Scripture" once again to resonate and refine his bone marrow several times before he finally went to sleep.

In his dreams, Chen Tang's Mud Ball Palace shone with a faint light.

With the Divine Sense in his Mud Ball Palace, Chen Tang continued to cultivate the "Bone Marrow Cleansing Scripture."

By the next morning, Chen Tang awoke early, stretching his muscles and bones, feeling refreshed and completely rejuvenated from last night's exhaustion, more energetic than ever before!

Having cultivated the "Bone Marrow Cleansing Scripture" all night, his body had already recovered.

Just as on previous days, Chen Tang picked up his Treasure Saber and began his daily diligent practice.

The "Burning Wood Saber," "Tiger Subduing Fist," "Arhat Demon-Subduing Fist"...

Before long, Ming Yuan and the Du Clan also woke up.

They both looked at Chen Tang, who was vigorously practicing in the courtyard, and exchanged a glance, quietly admiring him.

Despite just having fought a major battle the day before, Chen Tang didn't rest today.

Ming Yuan said, "No wonder Junior Brother Ming Jing has such prowess. With his talent and such diligence, his future achievements are immeasurable!"

Ming Yuan wanted even more to invite Chen Tang to the Capital City.

But he didn't disturb him, and he and the Du Clan went out together.

Before long, they returned carrying some vegetables, tofu, and white rice, busily working in the temple, chopping wood, setting up pots, cooking rice and dishes, looking quite accustomed to it.

By midday, Chen Tang, lured by an appetizing aroma, walked to the back of the temple.

There he saw Ming Yuan and the Du Clan couple had already prepared the meal.

"What are you..."

Chen Tang asked.

Ming Yuan chuckled, "We bought some vegetables, white rice, and seasonings from the Zen Temple nearby, came back to make some hot meals for us to enjoy together. By the way, your sister-in-law's cooking skills are quite impressive, far better than the temple's kitchen monk."

Before Chen Tang could respond, Master Le Kong, drawn by the aroma, approached, his white eyebrows twitching, "It's been a long time since I've had this taste, it does bring back memories."
