Household Dispute
A normal cultivator at the Fourth Realm can open more than eight thousand acupoints by practicing the Grain Avoidance Instruction.
In reality, Zhang Xuezhou belongs to the Body Control Realm, which is the Third Realm.
At this level, the Law Power lacks the extension and flexibility of the True Spirit Realm Law Power, creating extremely high resistance to the opening of the mind through the Grain Avoidance Instruction.
However, after continuous cycles, Zhang Xuezhou discovered that the number of apertures he had opened had exceeded the number that the Emperor had mentioned for the Fourth Realm.
"Twelve thousand six hundred and forty-eight acupoints—that's the limit of my Body Control Realm!"
The Emperor's description could not be wrong, but he was referring to cultivators under normal circumstances.
Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation method is different from that of normal cultivators, and his cultivation environment is also different from that of normal cultivators.
"Some of this is due to the X446 Body Repair Technology, but there must also be some due to the Mental Strengthening Chapter. If I could possess the True Spirit Realm cultivation in reality, this number might increase significantly!"
When the effects of the Grain Avoidance Instruction are activated by tens of thousands of acupoints simultaneously, it far surpasses the sensation brought about by the two thousand one hundred and forty-three acupoints.
Zhang Xuezhou felt that with each breath, his body's absorption of the external environment suddenly accelerated, and a feeling of fullness welled up inside him.
Compared to hydraulic injection, his proactive approach not only promotes absorption but also enhances elimination.
Zhang Xuezhou could feel the residual effects of the tranquilizer, which was like a stubborn illness, being gradually eliminated from his body, and the withered and diseased cells in his body were being reborn as if they were being refreshed.
This made Zhang Xuezhou abandon the idea of cultivating the other eight avoidance techniques, and instead focus wholeheartedly on repairing his body.
The X446 Body Repair Technology came very suddenly, but Zhang Xuezhou accepted it without any psychological burden.
He took high risks and gave enough; it's impossible for him to ask for nothing in return.
Ren Yisheng and Ren Wuyang's cooperation enabled him to obtain this valuable medical technology service, and also allowed Zhang Xuezhou to sever his past physical ailments.
He had no intention of undergoing the X446 Body Repair Technology multiple times; if it could be done in one session, he would not leave any lingering problems for the next time.
"My normal state is probably coming soon!"
With the addition of the Grain Avoidance Instruction to the X446 Body Repair Technology, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he was completely eliminating the influence of his illness.
He closed his eyes and concentrated, feeling his body continuously stretching.
The residual toxins hidden deep within the body are gradually eliminated, allowing every minute part of the body to repair itself.
This even eliminates the residual effects of Origin-Nurturing Pill, which Zhang Xuezhou had previously taken.
As long as his body has a low resistance to the Origin-Nurturing Pill, he can obviously continue to take Origin-Nurturing Pill, thereby bringing his strength closer and closer to the peak level of the Body Control Realm.
Having already experienced the True Spirit Realm, his next breakthrough will be a natural progression.
The cultivation of two bodies brought Zhang Xuezhou many inconveniences, constantly requiring Zhang Xuezhou to acquire more Cultivation Resources, but the combined benefits brought by the cooperation of the two bodies also continued to emerge.
This includes improving his physical condition, as well as indirectly boosting his spiritual practice.
He needs at least twice as many cultivation resources as others, but no matter which world he excels in, it will pave a smooth path for the other body to follow.
Zhang Xuezhou is neither a native cultivator like the Emperor or Empress who has reached the pinnacle of cultivation, nor is he a master-level figure like Ren Yisheng who is innovative and progressive. However, he will not suffer from any impact on his understanding when combining the benefits of the two worlds.
He could clearly understand the incantations bestowed upon him by the Emperor and Empress, and he could also accurately understand Ren Yisheng's Mental Strengthening Chapter.
For Zhang Xuezhou, there is no issue of intermediate connection.
This might be the best time for him to strengthen himself, until one day he can move freely between Sacred Land and secret realms without being seen as a pawn. In reality, he might even have the potential to establish a powerful Lineage.
It must be said that after communicating with Changkong Luo, Ren Yisheng, and others, and understanding the situation at the top of the Scarlet Alliance State, Zhang Xuezhou was indeed somewhat envious.
"Once I join the Sequence Committee, I'll record one instance of X446 Body Repair Technology on the public account today, and another instance of X446 Body Repair Technology on the public account tomorrow..."
He kept his grand dream in mind, and eventually found himself immersed in the continuous stretching and relaxation of his body's circulation.
Zhang Xuezhou only snapped out of his daze when the testing equipment emitted a piercing alarm.
The instrument lights were all on, and the originally green solution around Zhang Xuezhou had faded to a transparent, water-like state.
The repair process is not yet complete, but the repair solution has clearly been emptied.
"Hey bro, is something wrong on your end?"
Zhang Xuezhou waited for several seconds before he heard Ren Wuyang's voice from the transmitter, accompanied by a lot of noisy and chaotic sounds.
The voices of Wang Haoran arguing seemed somewhat intense, while a very composed voice accused Wang Haoran of leaking the Wang Household's business data in private, causing the Wang Household to suffer heavy losses.
"I've run out of repair fluid in my tank," Zhang Xuezhou replied, then asked, "What happened on your end?"
"Those two from the Wang Household are fighting over the inheritance," Ren Wuyang replied. "But no matter how they fight, we won't be shortchanged on compensation. The medical center in the Academy District has just been decided to belong to the Ren Household. I'll have someone come over and check on the situation for you."
"You guys took over the assets so quickly?" Zhang Xuezhou asked in surprise.
"There was going to be some wrangling at first, but Professor Wang and Associate Professor Wang Yi'an might be splitting up, so they had to compensate us first. That's why we took over relatively quickly, and we're currently signing the transfer contract," Ren Wuyang said. "Once the contract is signed, the rest is their problem."
"Wishing you prosperity!" Zhang Xuezhou congratulated him.
"These are all non-performing assets, with significant financial holes," Ren Wuyang said. "We can only pick the less bad ones to avoid losing money every year."
"Hospitals aren't the most profitable places," Zhang Xuezhou said in surprise.
"There are more bloodsucking worms inside, so we don't have many left," Ren Wuyang said helplessly. "The most troublesome problem is that we still have to rely on those people to keep things running normally."
"Looks like you'll be replacing a lot of people from now on!"
Zhang Xuezhou glanced at the medical room. The alarm in his VIP room had been ringing for over ten seconds without anyone coming to help, and Ren Wuyang had to make arrangements. This proved that there was indeed a significant problem.
"Try to gradually replace and add new talent," Ren Wuyang said helplessly. "If all else fails, we'll just focus on research and then make money through the exclusive rights to the new drugs we develop. Damn it..."
"How?"
"I was beaten up after I signed the contract!"
Zhang Xuezhou had just asked a question when Ren Wuyang's response came through, accompanied by a flurry of footsteps.
"Elder Wang didn't leave a will, and those two in the Wang Household can't get along... Screw you!"
With a loud 'bang,' Ren Wuyang quickly stopped replying and began to seek a safe place to watch the commotion.
