Oriental Chinese characters are the crystallization of thousands of years of wisdom, and their subtleties can often only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.
Nine-turn marrow-cleansing and soul-cleansing pill.
If we insist on explaining the effect of this ninth-grade elixir, we can probably explain it with the original description in the "Tai Shang Elixir Canon": "Resurrection of dead people into flesh and white bones, elimination of earthly flesh to build an immortal body."
But to translate this sentence into another language, Ava, who has been away from high school for many years and is a swordsman in this life, really does not have such a high level of translation.
Just when Ava frowned and worried about her poor language organization, the plate of fried potato chips in front of her was moved away.
Sol placed an open leather notebook and a quill pen in front of her, "Write it down."
"I haven't figured out how to explain it to you." Ava answered honestly.
"Is that a medicine unique to your hometown?" Sol suddenly understood.
"Yes."
"Write down the name of the medicine." Sol said calmly, "Use your own words."
Ava looked at Sol with a "Are you sure?" look, but the look from the other side clearly asked her to insist on doing this.
The two looked at each other for a short while, and Ava finally lowered her head, picked up the quill handed by Sol, and started writing.
"Is this the name of a medicine?" Sol couldn't help but frowned while looking at the abstract and beautiful pictures on the paper.
"Yes." Ava thought for a while and kindly reminded, "We are used to writing vertically."
"I know. I checked out the books about you in the library in the afternoon. Although the content is very small, it is not without research direction." After saying that, Saul put away the cowhide book.
As soon as Sol left, Betty came back with a chubby belly.
"It was too slow to get the plates one after another. I saw that there was no one in the restaurant, so I ate directly at that table." Betty took out a white square towel and wiped the grease stains from the corners of her mouth, and let out a heartfelt sigh, "Eat It feels so good to be full!"
Seeing Betty's satisfied look, Ava smiled silently.
"By the way, I just saw that nasty guy walking over. He didn't bully you while I was away." Betty took Ava's hand and walked out of the restaurant.
Ava shook her head.
Night falls and the moon is bright in the sky.
Ava and Betty returned to the dormitory together.
The dormitories of the Royal School of Magic are for two persons. Since the two entered school on the same day, they naturally became each other's roommates.
When she opened the door and saw the four-poster bed with a soft mattress in the room, Ava felt in a trance again.
"Yaya, why do you keep this posture?" Betty, who was lying flat on the bed after eating, turned her head.
"Because I'm..." Ava, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly paused. Bayi Division ⑧Using Lu to join Sixty-three
Meditating and breathing was a habit she had developed long ago in the Taishang Immortal Sect. It seemed that since she officially started to practice the mental method, her strict master never let her lie down at night.
"It's very late now, Yaya. Aren't you tired?" Betty's question suddenly woke up Ava.
Yes, she had forgotten that she was no longer on Qianfeng Mountain.
Now, she is on the other side of the sea, in a new environment where even the world setting is completely different from the past.
Even her accompanying master was beyond his reach and could no longer control her every move.
That's right, she can now do anything she wasn't allowed to do before!
"You're right, Betty. I'm tired."
Ava lay down slowly. The soft touch of the mattress was so comfortable and strange.
Betty let out a long yawn, "I'm sleepy. Good night, Yaya."
"Good night, Betty." The lights went out, and Ava closed her eyes in the darkness.
No matter what happens next, she plans to let herself get some good sleep first.

Late at night, Royal School of Magic, library.
There are still a few dim yellow lights in the silent borrowing area. The elf prince Thor was sitting among the stacks of books, flipping through the exaggeratedly thick books in his hands.
If Ava was present at this time, she would recognize that the book in Thor's hand was very similar to the one given to her by Principal Gandalf.
Although both books are dictionaries, their compilation methods are completely different. Ava's book is suitable for Easterners to read, while the one in Saul's hand is more suitable for Westerners to study.
"No, it doesn't mean red, nor does it mean loyalty. Here it should express granular medicine." After finally figuring out the meaning of the last mysterious character, Thor finally let out a breath of fresh air.
After a whole night of persistence and hard work, he was finally just one step away from final success.
Thor looked at the densely annotated leather book, trying to connect the meanings of all the characters, "So the word she wrote means... something that changes direction nine times in the body... in this way helps the user to flush the essence in the bones... cleanse the filth of the soul... a granular medicine..."
Why does this drug sound so creepy?
After the translation, Sol's face turned a little pale, and he pinched the back of his hand subconsciously.
"It's such a powerful medicine... Fortunately, I'm still alive." He touched his somewhat heated face and said to himself.

When Ava was still a high school student, she once heard a very philosophical statement.
That sentence says that people will more or less become slaves of habits.
When the first ray of sunlight fell on the window sill of the dormitory and she opened her eyes naturally, Ava couldn't help but think of this sentence and had an understanding she had never had before.
"This is unjust. It comes from habits and nature." Ava sighed softly.
After being unable to fall asleep for a long time, she sat up. Facing her deeply ingrained biological clock, Ava chose to give up the fight with herself and got up.
"Betty, Betty, Betty..." Thinking of their agreement yesterday, Ava pulled up the sleeping silver-haired girl after washing.
"Um...what are you doing...Yaya...I want to sleep...sleep..."
"Get up and exercise." Ava said softly, "We agreed."
"Well... ok..." Betty responded vaguely, but her body remained motionless.
Ava silently lifted the quilt off the bed, and then began to help Betty get dressed and comb her hair.
Betty was dazed the whole time, letting Ava play with her like a puppet. It wasn't until the cold wind from the mountain hit her face that she shivered and suddenly woke up.
"Where is this? Am I sleeping in bed?" Betty looked confused. She had no idea how she got here.
"We are in the forest outside the castle." Ava said, "Half an hour before the first class starts, I will exercise with you."
"Exercise? What exercise..." At this time, Betty remembered what she said last night.
"running."
"Running? That's it?"
"Yes, that's it, follow me." After stretching her body, Ava started today's morning practice.
...
"Yaya, how long have we been running?"
"Two hours."
...
"what time is it now!"
"six thirty."
"What? It's only half past six? How is this possible? What time did we get here?"
"Four o'clock."
...
"I'm so tired, I feel like I'm going to die."
"You're a dragon, Betty, stay strong."
"Uuuuuuuuah, I'm going to die. I hate you, Ava."
Betty's plaintive voice echoed throughout the forest until the hands of the clock tower turned to half past eight, and this morning's practice finally ended.
When Betty Ferdowsi's unconscious legs touched the dining room chair, those beautiful red eyes had completely lost their former glory.
"Hurry up and eat. We have to take a magic history class later." Ava said.
"Even if I go to class in my current state, I probably won't be able to hear a word." Betty tilted her head and looked at the black-haired girl opposite, as if she had lost her soul, "Why...why...You don’t look tired at all?”
"I'm used to it." Ava said lightly, "It's been like this every day since I was ten years old."
When she was in the Taishang Immortal Sect, many disciples who were making slow progress would ask Ava for advice on how to practice alone.
"From the moment of dawn, while reciting the inner cultivation method, I ran through the eight main peaks of the Immortal Sect." Ava answered so honestly every time.
Almost all the disciples who came to ask for advice were very dissatisfied with the answer. They all thought that Ava was hiding something secret and deliberately used such lies to frustrate them.
However, what they don't know is that the so-called "sect's number one" practice method is as simple and crude as it sounds.
