[You have taken an herbal bath, the damaged area is stimulated, Golden Bell Shield skill level increased by 5.1%.]
Wang Ye’s half-closed eyes suddenly opened wide.
He looked at the panel, rubbing away the mist clinging to his eyelashes, repeatedly confirming whether he was seeing things correctly.
"So... taking an herbal bath can also increase skill level!"
"Moreover, the skill increase is significant, more than one practice session."
Wang Ye rested his hands on the edge of the bathtub, soaking in the dark red herbal bath, his mind beginning to ponder.
Since an herbal bath can increase the skill level of Golden Bell Shield, it indicates that improving skill level doesn’t necessarily require training.
Does this also an that other skills can be quickly enhanced using external supplents?
If he really develops a thod to use supplents to improve skills, his skill improvent efficiency could beco twice as effective with half the effort.
"Interesting."
Wang Ye’s eyes brightened, he picked up his phone from the low stool beside him.
He began searching for Tai Chi related bath herbal recipes on Douyin.
But such traditional martial arts generally do not have universal external herbal recipes.
Only so unconventional sects have internal tonic recipes for replenishing qi.
Wang Ye selected three sowhat reliable internal recipes and saved them in his notes. He planned to buy a few kinds of Tai Chi internal dicine from the Chinese dicine store on his way back from shooting short videos at the unfinished building.
He decided to try them one by one before making a decision.
Wang Ye continued to huddle in the tub, soaking for about half an hour.
The imagined absorption of dicinal properties, where the dark red bathwater would turn clear, did not occur. After the bath, the herbal water remained densely dark red, though it beca slightly more turbid.
Wang Ye stood up from the tub, took a towel, and dried himself off.
Then, he saved the tub of herbal water, placing it in the corner of the bathroom.
When he needs another herbal bath, it can be reheated and reused. This thod allows the residue at the bottom to further leach out more effective components.
This herbal water can be stored for up to three days, after which the residue will begin to deteriorate, the herbal potency will evaporate, and it will lose its intended effect.
At that point, new herbs will need to be stewed again.
After his bath, Wang Ye felt completely rejuvenated.
The soreness from practicing Golden Bell Shield vanished instantly.
He touched his exposed skin.
It indeed felt sturdier and rougher, clearly having developed an unseen layer of hard keratin.
His skin was already tough enough to withstand so dull knife slashes, now reaching this level of improvent was quite effective.
Wang Ye applied so qi force according to Golden Bell Shield’s force application thod.
Suddenly, all his skin began to harden. The solid and resilient feeling filled his muscles and skin.
This feeling was like wearing a tight-fitting soft leather armor, giving him a strong sense of security.
He tried touching the hardened parts, experiencing a sensation similar to hard rock.
Striking with force resulted in only mild pain.
Instead, his fist felt a rebound shock, sowhat numb.
Like hitting a bronze drum.
This was the first level of Golden Bell Shield, where the force application was unimpeded, and when fully energized with qi, it felt like wearing soft leather armor. In the face of attacks, it could reduce pain by more than half.
"It really works."
Wang Ye was overjoyed.
With progress at this pace, his defense power will surely reach a higher level soon.
He got dressed, glancing at his watch.
4:25
It was nearing dusk.
Wang Ye did not delay, wearing the bag with hidden weapons and cara, he imdiately went out the door.
After heading downstairs, he left the neighborhood, walking along the sidewalk towards the unfinished building while going through comnts under his own videos.
Many have already recognized that Wang Ye was yesterday’s half-marathon champion in Longjiang District.
[I usually follow so sports events, and suddenly noticed the marathon champion looked just like the blogger.]
[Wow, isn’t this blogger a National Elite Level athlete apart from mastering hidden weapon techniques?]
[His first video seems to be about practicing Tai Chi, could this be the real power of traditional martial arts?]
Wang Ye simply observed these comnts without providing a definitive response.
After all, as he gradually makes a na for himself in the sporting world, his identity will eventually be uncovered by the audience.
Explaining himself now serves no real purpose.
It would only reduce the mystique and the buzz around him.
Wang Ye intended to maintain his desired mysterious aura, then gradually showcase his unique selling points.
As the saying goes, "cast a long line to catch a big fish." Pulling the line too soon might make the future path less sustainable.
Soon, Wang Ye arrived at the unfinished building.
He first found several hard twigs and leaves suitable for throwing around the area.
Then, he took out a date from his bag, cleaned it off, leaving only the seed.
Afterward.
He started using these materials to film short videos.
Wang Ye fild three videos as his stock.
They were shooting a board with twigs, slicing foam board with leaves, and exploding a can with a seed.
He then took out a deck of cards, preparing to start filming a tutorial video for the next entry.
There were already many requests in the comnts for him to film tutorial videos.
While he was recently struggling with content ideas, he decided to follow the viewers’ suggestions and film a card-throwing tutorial video.
According to Wang Ye’s observations, these tutorial videos usually have quite a good reach, as seen with popular blogger Energy-Kun, who rose to fa with such videos.
Aside from these factors, it’s actually quite interesting to shoot a tutorial video occasionally.
Wang Ye pulled out a card.
He started filming the video using explanations and slow-motion tutorials.
These tutorial videos are longer than his previous short clips and require more ti and effort, with careful thought given to the rhythm and scripting, necessitating segnt recording for the video, and more complicated editing afterward.
By the ti Wang Ye finished shooting the tutorial video, the sky was filled with sunset hues, and darkness was closing in.
Wang Ye breathed a long sigh of relief, rubbed his sun-burned temple.
He picked up his bag and walked towards ho, stopping by the street-side Chinese dicine shop to buy three Tai Chi tonic recipes.
Upon returning ho, Wang Ye finished the leftovers from lunch.
He then sat in front of the computer, comncing the long editing process.
Editing took him from seven in the evening all the way until midnight. Only then did Wang Ye manage to finish editing all four videos.
With a "snap," he closed his laptop, opened Douyin, and checked the video he had posted in the afternoon.
It had twenty thousand likes, with the attention remaining stable.
