Between piecing things together, he brewed a pot of "Strengthening Body and Skin Soup." Li Xian soaked in the bathing barrel, slowly absorbing the medicated bath.
Li Xian muttered to himself, "I've had so much on my mind recently, I almost forgot the importance of the martial arts path. Eating, nurturing, practicing, soaking – all four are crucial."
The words 'eating' and 'practicing' permeate throughout and are the cornerstone of martial arts. Missing either one makes progress difficult. Li Xian deeply understands this. The word 'soaking' is especially important, but the deeper one delves into martial arts, the more indispensable it becomes.
Basic martial arts... the medicated bath only serves to strengthen and relieve exhaustion, and protect the body. Practicing martial arts can harm the body; without the regulation of medicated baths, one's body may collapse before achieving martial prowess.
