Chapter 89 - 87: Master Wu is about to go online
The next morning, as usual, Wu Li got up at six, on which Chen Ling was most satisfied with him—he never slept in.
Wu Li took out the medicinal wine prepared by Liu Yuanbo from the cabinet and took a big gulp.
This wine was specifically for strengthening bones. In the past, many martial artists used tiger bone wine for this purpose, but with the enactment of national laws, genuine tiger bone wine had almost disappeared. Fortunately, not every martial artist had access to tiger bone wine in the past, and some had found substitute medicinal wine which worked just as well. The one Wu Li used was one of these substitutes.
After taking the medicinal wine, Wu Li quickly started his stance practice. Half an hour later, his body warm and toasty, he stopped his stance practice, took out another kind of medicinal wine, and began to apply it on his body, focusing on his limbs and waist area.
This was a topical medicinal wine, specifically used for relaxing muscles and promoting blood circulation.
These two bottles of medicinal wine alone required gathering numerous Chinese herbs and, added to the cost of labor, amounted to about forty thousand yuan. Moreover, the two bottles would last only about three months.
Thus the saying goes, "the poor take to literature, the rich take to arms," and it had been so since ancient times.
However, times were progressing. With the advancements in science, modern medicine and biology were definitely far more advanced in studying the human body compared to the past. Medicines used in the past to aid body training might not necessarily be the best choice in modern times.
Wu Li suddenly thought, if one could use modern medicine to conduct an in-depth study of a person’s body and then tailor a specific diet for them, developing medicines and physical training methods specifically designed to enhance muscles and bones, such as using electric currents to stimulate muscles, and combining that with the Stance practices of Internal Fist, enhancing the physique both internally and externally—what would the result be? Was it possible to surpass the human limit?
However, such research and experiments would definitely require top talents in relevant fields and top-level laboratories, all of which couldn’t be achieved merely with money. Wu Li could only put this idea aside for now and continue enhancing himself with the existing medicines.
After applying the medicinal wine, he didn’t want to disturb his parents who were still sleeping, so he went downstairs to the residential area and started practicing his martial arts.
