Yang Jian sat alone on the fifth floor, patiently flipping through all sorts of books.
There were books on human anatomy, diagrams of the body's meridians, guides to the various parts of the human body, and more. Some were profound and highly specialized, while others were simple, easy-to-understand books with colored illustrations.
"Livor mortis is the purple discoloration that appears through the skin after blood circulation stops, causing blood to settle in capillaries and small veins under the force of gravity and expand them."
"In other words, these corpse spots are formed by stagnant blood remaining beneath the skin. As long as I remove the stagnant blood, the corpse spots on my body will disappear."
Yang Jian read through these headache-inducing books, formed a simple understanding of them, and began trying things out.
He couldn't keep walking around the streets in a dead man's body. It would be fine during the day, but at night, wouldn't he scare a whole crowd to death?
Looking at a corpse spot on the back of his hand, he tried controlling the Headless Ghost Shadow.
Soon, a little stagnant blood seeped out through his skin.
The corpse spot disappeared.
"That was simple. Knowledge really is power," Yang Jian said.
Then he carried the book as he read, heading to the bathroom to take a shower and remove the corpse spots from his body.
Warm water cascaded down. The stagnant blood seeping from Yang Jian's back was gradually washed away, and the densely packed, horrifying corpse spots across his body were quickly cleared.
His skin was merely a little pale and cold. Other than that, there was nothing visibly different about him.
"Cold hands and feet are caused by insufficient qi and blood. You need more exercise and a healthy routine. Hm, isn't that bullshit?
