9 Result of training (1/2)
Skewer after skewer, Yan Xiu didn't stop training his throwing skill. When he ran out skewers, Yan Xiu collect the thrown out skewers and threw them again.
After throwing the skewers for about a thousand time, Yan Xiu stopped and rest his body. He sat cross legs and reviewed the result of his training. All the skewers hit the tree block but few of them managed to hit the middle of the tree block.
He recalled the contents of the throwing weapons basic book comparing it with his own findings. When the reviewing end, Yan Xiu threw the skewers again to ascertained the result of his review. This time the number of the skewers that hit the middle of the tree block increased, although only a few, it was still an improvement.
Yan Xiu collected the skewers and set it aside before reaching for the whip in his waist. Yan Xiu walked closer to the tree block and swung the three meter long whip at it. The slash made a shallow long mark at the tree block.
The book said the whip power would increased if it were cracked, yan Xiu tried cracking the whip at the tree block and it made a deeper mark. Seeing the instant improvement Yan Xiu was elated, he began training with vigor.
After Yan Xiu was done training, the tree was full of long whip marks. Yan Xiu felt fatigue creep in his body, he then decided to end for the night. He tidy up and went to bed after bath.

Come morning Yan Xiu did his routine of checking the crops and livestock and cultivate. Yan Xiu remembered that he had yet to train Green Water healing spell when he was cleaning the pig pen.
Striking the iron while hot, Yan Xiu tried the spell right there and then. Yan Xiu put his hands in front of him and closed his eyes as he concentrate. Yan Xiu then quietly uttered the name of the spell.
”Green Drops.” (MC)
But it didn't work, nothing happened. Yan Xiu didn't get discourage and kept trying. A moment later, Yan Xiu already expended half of his qi and yet with no result. He looked at the bright sky, it was almost time for the hunter gathering. Making his last attempt, Yan Xiu concentrate real hard, he focused all his attention on his hand before once again uttered the spell.
”Green Drops!” (MC)
Slowly his hand glowed with green light, the green light gathered and turn to a few drops of green liquid.
Yan Xiu opened his eyes and was happy when he saw the green drops floating on his hands. This meant that he was successfully activated the first stage of Green Water healing spell.
Like it's name, Green Water spell was a healing-type spell with the form of a green water. The green water produced by the spell could heal wounds from a mere scratch to deep wounds, but the deeper the wound the longer the time it takes to heal it.
While it could heal wounds, it couldn't restore lost limbs or organs. The spell could also cure poison but like healing wounds, the stronger the poison the longer the time it takes to cure it. In conclusion, the spell could heal almost all kinds of wounds and poisons but it took times and energy, in theory that is. Since the healing took time, the patient could succumb to the wound or poison first. Or maybe the user would used up his energy first.
The Green Water healing spell have three stages. The first stage was producing drops of green water, in second stage the practitioner could create streams of green water. In the last stage the practitioner could make the green liquid rain from the heavens.
Finally reached first stage after many failures Yan Xiu felt elated. If only he knew that the other support hunter took a week to reached first stage of the spell and yet Yan Xiu reached it in only a few hours.
When Yan Xiu finally aware of his surrounding, he saw the pigs surrounded him while eyeing the green water on his hands. Yan Xiu was surprised, he saw how focused the pigs stare on the green water. Yan Xiu moved his hands left and right and the pigs eyes followed.
”Want it?” (MC)
Yan Xiu offered it to the pigs and they scuffle for it. In the end only four pigs got it, they enjoyed the drops even more than their feed. Yan Xiu was perplexed by the pigs reaction but he brushed it aside as he hurry to the village for the hunter gathering.
