But now, the last problem in front of him was the deformity of his arms, limbs, and even spine after his broken bones were not corrected correctly. After running the Xiantian Skill just now, many bones in his body were healed in a mess, just like building blocks that were put together randomly.
This led to his current body deformity.
It also made him unable to stand up, like a monster.
After thinking for a while, Li Mu made a decision.
He made a shocking move — using his deformed right fist, bit by bit, down by down, he broke all the bones in his deformed left fist and left arm, shattering them into pieces.
Crack! Crack!
The sound of broken bones was heart-palpitating.
The severe pain, like an overwhelming mountain torrent, instantly engulfed Li Mu.
On his forehead, big beads of sweat fell.
The indescribable pain caused his vision to darken and he almost fainted.
But he did not hesitate or pause at all.
In the end, all the bones of his left arm were all broken by him as if he was self-mutilating.
Li Mu breathed rapidly, and then began to run the Xiantian Skill to absorb the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth to repair the injury of his left arm.
When the Spiritual Qi poured in and the left arm began to recover some senses, Li Mu used his deformed right hand to correct some broken bones, and then began to forcibly use the only intuition to move the joints and phalanges of his left arm.
Through this method, he could find the correct way to heal the bones.
This process was extremely long.
After an unknown period of time, a brand new, normal, and no longer deformed left arm grew out.
Li Mu exhaled a long turbid breath.
He knew that he had succeeded.
Next, his plan was very simple.
In addition to the right left arm that had grown out, he would first break his right arm, left leg, right leg, spine, ribs, and other bones, and then use the same method to correct them so that they could heal in a normal way and angle.
This was almost equal to breaking all the bones of the whole body except the head.
Then, with the power of the Xiantian Skill, the broken bones would grow again after the correction.
The foundation of this plan was that Li Mu had a strong vitality and recovery and healing ability.
His powerful vitality ensured that he wouldn't die even if some of his bones were broken. Instead, he would faint while still alive.
His monstrous healing ability could ensure that broken bones would heal and regrow in the shortest time possible.
Looking at his recovered left arm, Li Mu did not hesitate at all.
He used his left arm to break all the bones in his right arm.
Then, he ran the Xiantian Skill.
And so on.
Time passed quietly in the crisp cracking of bones and the sound of Li Mu's sweat falling to the ground due to the severe pain.
Many times, Li Mu's face turned as white as a sheet of paper because of the pain.
He used his powerful mental strength to support himself and didn't faint.
He kept breaking and smashing his own bones, and then he kept correcting them and healing them.
This process was like kneading a clay figurine.
Shattering the bodies of the clay figurines, soaking them in water until they softened, turning them into mud, and then creating new limbs. Then, waiting for them to dry up … was no different from reconstructing them.
Most people would turn pale with fright at the mere thought of it, let alone trying it out.
But incredibly, Li Mu persisted.
The night passed.
The sky was still dark.
The last broken bone in Li Mu's body was healed by the power of the Xiantian Skill.
He felt the wonderful feeling of regaining control of his body and slowly stood up.
He couldn't feel the pain anymore.
The poison of flood dragon blood was also completely removed.
There was new energy surging in his body.
This was a kind of rebirth.
A light flashed in Li Mu's mind. Without any hesitation, he immediately began to perform the Zhenwu Boxing.
The Rising Pole Skill.
The Rocking-sky Hammer.
The Sky-breaking Awl.
These were the moves in the Zhenwu Boxing that Li Mu could fully perform at present.
Li Mu felt unprecedentedly smooth, as if it had become his innate instinct.
As the moves flowed, there was a continuous sound of popping beans in his body.
This was the new bones adapting to this body.
The surging power was born in his body.
Li Mu even felt that the ocean-like power was about to drown him. It was horrifying and exaggerated to the extreme. What was more exaggerated was that this kind of power kept generating new power wave after wave, as if it would never stop.
"The speed of recovery is faster than I thought, and it seems to be stronger than before."
Li Mu felt surprised.
This was a surprise.
He kept performing moves, especially the two moves of the Rocking-sky Hammer and the Sky-breaking Awl. Under the continuous promotion, Li Mu's qi and blood surged in his body, and his physical condition was getting better and better. The surging power made him feel like the engine was exploding.
He didn't know how many times he had performed the consecutive moves of the Rocking-sky Hammer and the Sky-breaking Awl. Finally, Li Mu felt that the power and qi and blood in his body surged to an incredible peak.
He shouted and directly launched the third move of the Zhenwu Boxing, the Sky-cracking Collapse.
As usual, the suffocating feeling came, but it was instantly broken by the inertia of the body's strength.
The movement that could not be achieved in the past was completely performed by Li Mu in one go.
The first time.
The second time.
The third time, the fourth time … dozens of times.
Li Mu continuously performed the Sky-cracking Collapse dozens of times, until a feeling of exhaustion came, and he slowly stopped.
Heartily.
Comfortable.
Li Mu had a feeling that he couldn't help shouting.
He calmed down and observed his body. Only then did he realize that his skin, which had been slightly red and pinkish because of the new growth, had been covered by a thick layer of black mud that looked like black oil stains. It emitted a pungent stench and covered almost every part of his body. Even some hidden places had seeped out, as if his whole body had been smeared with a layer of stinky mud.
"This is the impurities in the body, and I have experienced another round of marrow cleansing."
A similar phenomenon had happened when he practiced the first two moves of the Zhenwu Boxing before, so Li Mu was not surprised.
Every time he successfully practiced a new move of the Zhenwu Boxing, it was equal to a round of marrow cleansing.
It was also equal to an improvement of the essence of life.
Li Mu knew that after experiencing this life-or-death disaster, his strength had been improved again.
Only then did he have time to look around the cave where he was.
With the dim light of the bonfire, Li Mu was surprised to find that this space was not a cave, but a river in the belly of the mountain, a natural passage washed out by the flowing water. But now it seemed that it was a dry period, so the water level dropped, exposing part of the stone wall and bed, like a cave.
At the top of the passage, there were strange-shaped stalactites, like pure white jade.
About ten meters away from Li Mu, the rocks tilted, and in a deeper riverbed, the cold underground river surged toward the outside of the cave.
Li Mu pinched his nose, came to the dark river, and took water to wash the dirt on his body.
The river was cold, like a quiet spring in the underground.
After testing the depth and the speed of the water, he directly jumped into the water, swimming and taking a bath happily.
"This dark river should be the source of one of the waterfalls of the Nine-dragons Fall."
Li Mu was thoughtful.
He swam along the dark river for more than three hundred meters, and felt that the water was more and more turbulent, and the roar of the waterfall was deafening. A group of faint light came, obviously to the end of the dark river, that was, near the waterfall.
Through the water curtain, he could vaguely see that the sky outside was faintly bright.
It should be dawn.
Li Mu thought for a while, but he did not hurry to leave.
He returned to the original place and began to wait.
Because Guo Yuqing said he would return.
Li Mu also wanted to know the background of this bearded man.
His eyes fell on the underground dark river again.
It was really strange that in the belly of the hard rock mountain, there was such an underground river gushing out, which did not conform to the common sense of physics.
Li Mu had an impulse to go upstream to find the ultimate water source.
Very soon, a feeling of hunger came crashing down like the mountains and rivers.
Every time he cleaned his body, it was the same. Li Mu had an illusion that if that giant flood dragon appeared in front of him now, he could swallow it alive.
"Every movement of the Zhenwu Boxing contains the true meaning of martial arts. For example, the body-lightening skill in the Sky-breaking Awl. What kind of mystery does the third movement, the Sky-cracking Collapse, contain?"
Li Mu forcibly diverted his attention from his hunger.
He closed his eyes and carefully felt it, trying to comprehend it.
But this time, he didn't find anything clearly, and he couldn't perceive the profound meaning of the Cracking the Sky.
"That's strange."
Li Mu got up and was about to display the Cracking the Sky to comprehend it. At this time, in the direction of the waterfall in the distance, a figure flashed. A burly figure, carrying a large animal skin bag, surrounded by dense internal qi, passed through the thick water curtain with terrible impact force and came to the cave.
It was Guo Yuqing who returned.
"Who? You … you actually … "The moment Guo Yuqing entered the cave, his face changed dramatically. He was about to yell, but when he took a closer look, he found that the figure standing in the cave was Li Mu. He was so shocked that he could hardly believe his eyes.
"Senior, we meet again." Li Mu saluted.
"You actually … completely recovered. It's impossible. Your injuries are so serious. You …" Guo Yuqing was not a person who made a fuss. On the contrary, he had experienced more bloodshed and all kinds of tragic events than ordinary people. But at this time, he was still shocked by the vigorous Li Mu in front of him.
"Senior, thank you for saving me."
Li Mu said.
Guo Yuqing's reaction was within his expectation.
His complete recovery in one night was an unbelievable miracle in any other place.
Guo Yuqing soon calmed down and said, "It seems that the things I prepared are useless. This is really a miracle." He opened the waterproof animal skin bag on his back, which was wrapped with many fresh herbs and some metal instruments, which looked like surgical instruments on Earth.
Obviously, he had prepared a lot of things to cure Li Mu.
Li Mu was moved.
At the same time, he was also a little curious.
Could it be that Guo Yuqing was actually a doctor?
