Reversing the Milky Way

On the other side, at this moment, Yu Qing'an was at home.

Bai Cheng started training like crazy as soon as he returned, while Yu Qing'an, standing to the side, was full of questions. He knew that Bai Cheng was exhausted like a bear when he left, but after picking up Ling'er, he was full of energy.

Yu Qing'an asked with a face full of questions, "What happened?"

Yue Ling: "He must have been traumatized."

After finishing her story, Yue Ling recounted the events of the day to Yu Qing'an, who laughed heartily. Looking at Bai Cheng, who was training, he said, "Well done, kid. You've got guts. Even though others may not have faith in you, I think you might just succeed."

Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng, who was standing to the side, asked the question it had been wanting to ask: "Uncle Yu, I see that Ling'er has reached the late stage of Body Refinement at such a young age. Is there any secret to her success?"

Uncle Yu pondered for a long time after hearing Bai Cheng's words. He didn't know how to answer Bai Cheng's question. When Bai Cheng saw that Yu Qing'an was silent for a long time, he knew that Yu Qing'an might have some difficulties, so he did not press him for an answer.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Qing'an said, "Maybe this is talent."

After hearing Yu Qing'an say those words, Bai Cheng smiled wryly. He knew that not everyone had talent, but he was not discouraged.

Yu Qing'an: "Alright, rushing things isn't a good thing. You should get ready and go cook."

Thus, Bai Cheng heeded Yu Qing'an's advice that he should not rush into cultivation since he had just begun.

After finishing his meal, Bai Cheng lay in the bathtub. Of course, he wasn't wearing any wristbands at the time. As he lay in the bathtub, his body was immersed in the warm water, and it seemed as if all his fatigue was being gently carried away by the trickling stream. As time went by, the fatigue in his body gradually disappeared.

Then Bai Cheng recalled what happened during the day. If it weren't for the wrist guard that blocked that kick for him, he probably would have broken several ribs as he said. It seems he must speed up the process of becoming stronger, but at his current speed, it would be difficult to defeat Zhao Bo within a month. It seems he needs to find other ways to improve his strength.

At this moment, Yu Qing'an, who was inside the room, was staring at the painting on the wall. It was the portrait of a woman in a blue robe. He tiptoed down the painting, and behind it was another portrait of a woman. The woman in the portrait had a bewitching face and a mysterious and charming aura.

Her skin was as white as snow, smooth and delicate, seemingly radiating a subtle glow. The deep purple of her phoenix eyes seemed to be immersed within, exuding a mysterious power. Her eyebrows, as dark as ink, gently outlined her alluring charm. Her hair cascaded like a waterfall, long and smooth, her elegant figure full of seduction, her curves exquisite, radiating a captivating sensuality. Although the woman in the painting wore only the most ordinary clothes, her gentle smile exuded a provocative and mysterious charm, captivating all who beheld her irresistible allure.

Yu Qing'an gazed up at the woman in the painting with deep affection, his eyes revealing a sorrow he could not conceal. After staring at it for a while, he immediately hung up the portrait of the woman in the blue robe, covered it up, and went back to sleep.

The next morning, Bai Cheng got up early. He moved his body a little and found that he didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Normally, if Bai Cheng had undergone such high-intensity training, he would have been so sore that he couldn't get out of bed the next day. It seemed that the medicinal bath must have worked. Thinking this, Bai Cheng began his busy day.

Walking along the village road, Bai Cheng noticed that many people from Yu Family Village were already on the road. Some villagers would occasionally glance back at Bai Cheng, which puzzled him. Although he had been in Yu Family Village for several days, given the speed at which news spread through the village, he should have known about his situation by now. What was going on with these people? Thinking about this, Bai Cheng had a keen sense that something unexpected was about to happen to him again.

Sure enough, a crowd had gathered at the village bulletin board. The bulletin board in Yujia Village was like a forum, with someone specifically assigned to guard it every day. The information posted on the bulletin board was all sorts of things, such as who had lost a cow or had a chicken stolen, as well as house rental notices and even matchmaking announcements.

Bai Cheng pushed through the crowd to see what was happening. At the very top of the large bulletin board was a notice with a huge, eye-catching title: "Bai Cheng, a villager of Yujia Village, will challenge Zhao Bo in one month, life or death at stake." Bai Cheng was shocked upon seeing this notice; he hadn't expected Zhao Bo to be so ruthless, actually wanting to kill him. At that moment, all the surrounding villagers turned to look at him, and a chorus of whispers reached Bai Cheng's ears.

Villager No. 1: "Hey, isn't that Bai Cheng? I heard he's not even at the Body Refinement Realm."

Villager #2: "Really? Zhao Bo is at the mid-stage of Body Refinement Realm. How could someone possibly defeat Zhao Bo a month later, and even risk their life?"

Villager #1: "That's right, this is too arrogant, they're treating us like fools."

Villager No. 3: "Isn't that right?"

.......

Meanwhile, Yue Ling stood up for Bai Cheng, saying, "Brother Bai Cheng will definitely defeat Zhao Bo in a month. Just you wait and see." After saying that, she ignored the comments of the people around her and pulled Bai Cheng away.

On the way, Bai Cheng was thinking that it would be difficult to defeat Zhao Bo within a month at his current speed. He had to seize the time to improve himself. He had heard about Body Tempering Pills in the Herb Pavilion before, but he didn't know what they were. It seemed necessary to ask about them.

Seeing Bai Cheng looking so downcast, Bai Ling asked worriedly, "Brother Bai Cheng, are you alright?"

After realizing what had happened, Bai Cheng replied, "Oh, Ling'er, I'm fine."

Yue Ling said with a determined look, "I believe that Brother Bai Cheng will definitely be able to defeat that bastard Zhao Bo in a month."

After hearing Yue Ling's words, Bai Cheng smiled with relief, though to be honest, he wasn't entirely sure himself.

After sending Yueling to the school, Bai Cheng went to the herbal medicine shop he had visited before. This herbal medicine shop was run by the Xue family in town, and the shopkeeper was named Duan Jinxiong. His boss was Xue Qianfu, the head of the Xue family.

When Duan Jinxiong saw that it was Bai Cheng, he knew that the kid had no money, so he still didn't give him a friendly look. Bai Cheng was used to it, after all, the shopkeeper had always looked fierce when he came before, but Bai Cheng didn't take it to heart.

After Bai Cheng walked in, he asked, "Boss, what are the effects of your Body Tempering Pill?"

Duan Jinxiong looked at him with annoyance and said, "Body Tempering Pills are not for poor people. Their main function is to temper the body and improve physical condition."

Bai Cheng noticed the boss's expression, which seemed reluctant, but he still asked, "Then what's the difference between it and a medicinal bath?"

Duan Jinxiong then replied, "Medicinal baths use herbs to soak and absorb them through the body, which is equivalent to external application. Pills, on the other hand, are made by cultivators. Although the function is the same, the effects are worlds apart. Pills condense all the medicinal power into a pill, so they basically do not waste any of the essence of the herbs. Medicinal baths, however, only involve soaking, which does not allow the medicinal power of the herbs to be fully exerted. Moreover, the amount of medicinal power absorbed during soaking is limited, and a large part of it is wasted."

After listening to the boss's explanation, Bai Cheng finally understood that there was such a big difference between medicinal baths and pills.

Bai Cheng then asked, "How much does this Body Tempering Pill cost?"

Upon hearing that someone had asked about the price, Duan Jinxiong quickly replied, "Body Tempering Pill, Grade 1, five silver coins each."

Bai Cheng was also surprised when he heard this, and said: "What? Five silver coins? Isn't the Rejuvenation Pill also a first-grade pill? Isn't that only one silver coin?"

Upon hearing this, Duan Jinxiong knew that Bai Cheng couldn't afford it, and then said impatiently, "Where did you come from, you country bumpkin? Who told you that a first-grade pill costs one silver coin? Look at me and Liu Yuntian, we're both human, are we the same?"

These words left Bai Cheng speechless for a moment, so he touched his pocket and found only one silver coin. After making a fortune yesterday, Yue Ling was afraid that Bai Cheng would squander the money, so she only gave him one silver coin.

Bai Cheng was feeling bitter. Although his ex-girlfriend was like that, that was all in the past. He had already arrived in another world, and he was being controlled so strictly by Yue Ling even before he had a girlfriend. How was he going to live like this in the future?

However, the most urgent task is to improve one's strength. Since Body Tempering Pills are so expensive, it seems he has to think of other ways. Bai Cheng had also considered making inventions from Earth to sell for money, but based on his observations over the past few days, so-called advanced inventions on Earth are not applicable in this world. After all, those above the Qi Condensation Realm can fly on swords.

After leaving the herb pavilion, Bai Cheng went home first. Although he was wearing a two-hundred-pound wrist guard, he felt that he was slowly getting used to it and that he would be able to fully adapt soon.

Back at Yu Family Village, Bai Cheng was still fetching water in the yard after returning. Although the water tank was only filled halfway every day, Yue Ling and Bai Cheng would take a bath every afternoon, and Yu Qing'an also maintained a bathing frequency of once every two days, so the water tank was always kept at about half full. Yu Qing'an also wandered around the outskirts of Yunluo Forest every day, occasionally catching a few wild animals to sell for money. However, ordinary wild animals were not as valuable as spirit beasts, and each time he would only sell them for about two hundred coins at most.

Three days passed quickly, and during these three days, Bai Cheng could clearly feel that the wrist guards he was wearing had a much smaller impact on him.

At this moment, Bai Cheng and Yu Qing'an looked at each other in the courtyard.

Yu Qing'an said with a mocking expression, "Come on! Let me see how much you've grown in these three days." He then pointed to his chest.

After seeing Yu Qing'an's action, Bai Cheng understood what was going on. He then removed all his wrist guards and got into a fighting stance. As soon as the wrist guards were removed, Bai Cheng felt his body become much lighter, as if the gravity here had suddenly decreased for him.

Yu Qing'an stood tall, while Bai Cheng held his breath and threw a punch at Yu Qing'an. Bai Cheng could clearly feel that his punch was extremely fast, much faster than before.

But when the fist struck Yu Qing'an's chest, the feeling of hitting a thick wall returned, yet Yu Qing'an remained standing there as if nothing had happened. He then stroked his chin and said, "Hmm... I've probably reached the strength of a cauldron."

Bai Cheng was also surprised to hear this. He had exerted 300 jin more force than he had four days ago, but even so, he still couldn't reach the Body Refinement Realm within a month. At this moment, Bai Cheng remembered the Body Tempering Pill. If he had the Body Tempering Pill, he might be able to reach the Body Refinement Realm within a month.

Thinking of this, he asked Yu Qing'an, "Uncle Yu, do you know of any method that can be just as effective as the Body Tempering Pill?"

After hearing Bai Cheng's words, Uncle Yu understood his thoughts, but the Body Tempering Pill was simply unaffordable for ordinary people. He then said to Bai Cheng, "Do you really want to become stronger quickly? Even if it means risking your life?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng knew that Yu Qing'an must know other methods, but they were too dangerous. However, he had no other choice. Now everyone in the village knew that he would be dueling with Zhao Bojin in a month, and it would be a fight to the death.

He then said to Yu Qing'an in a heavy tone, "Uncle Yu, I have made up my mind. Actually, my life was a mess before I came here. I was doing the same repetitive work every day."

As he spoke, he recalled his time on Earth. He then said, "Back in my old place, I was just an unknown nobody. No matter how hard you try, you can only stay at the bottom of society. No matter how much I struggle, I can never beat those who were born at the pinnacle of life."

As he spoke, he recalled the scene of his girlfriend on Zhang Ye's flying car, and a long-dormant anger surged within him, causing his hands to clench unconsciously.

Then, turning to Yu Qing'an, Bai Cheng said solemnly, "Since Heaven has given me the opportunity to change my fate, I will never give it up." As he said this, Bai Cheng's eyes were so firm.

Yu Qing'an, standing to the side, knew from the expression on Bai Cheng's face that these were Bai Cheng's heartfelt words. Even he himself was moved by what Bai Cheng had just said, after all, he could see a resolute look in Bai Cheng's eyes.

Then, Yu Qing'an's expression turned serious, and he slowly said, "Didn't you lose your memory?...Are you better now?" The silence seemed to be broken at this moment, and an awkward atmosphere enveloped the two serious-looking people.

Bai Cheng almost collapsed when he heard Yu Qing'an say those words. The atmosphere had been built up to this point, but unexpectedly, Yu Qing'an remembered that he had mentioned that he had suffered a head injury and lost his memory.

Yu Qing'an then realized that his words were somewhat out of place, so he added, "Ahem... Since you've made up your mind, I'll take you somewhere."

After saying that, Yu Qing'an took Bai Cheng and left Yu Family Village through the western exit of the village.

After exiting from the west side of Yu Family Village, there are three roads: one leads to Yunluo Forest in the north, another leads to the fishing village in the south, and the third leads to the northwest. Yu Qing'an and Bai Cheng were on this road.
