Treatment
It's normal for Zhang Xuezhou to experience a state of pseudo-death, but it's very abnormal for Ren Yisheng to experience a state of pseudo-death.
No Ren Yisheng can travel through the world.
The environment in which Ren Yisheng Ren Yisheng also prevented any special circumstances from arising.
"You mean my dad's mind has left his body?"
The "three souls and seven spirits" that Zhang Xuezhou mentioned are, in real-world terms, similar to descriptions of spirit, will, and mental capacity.
The black sedan transported Ren Yisheng's body back to the villa. After a bunch of testing instruments were attached to his body, Ren Anran and the others learned of Zhang Xuezhou's diagnosis.
"You should still have the data on my apparent death," Zhang Xuezhou said. "If not, you can test my physical functions again in a few days; that should be quite similar to some of the professor's data!"
Zhang Xuezhou is a professional when it comes to matters like the loss of body control caused by the three souls and seven spirits traversing the world.
He was used to such things; the only thing that puzzled Zhang Xuezhou was where Ren Yisheng's three souls and seven spirits had gone.
The separation of the three souls and seven spirits from the body is not something that can be done at will. Without special techniques, it would require an extremely high level of cultivation to achieve the separation of the physical body from the three souls and seven spirits.
A physical body will die if it lacks the three souls and seven spirits for a long time, and the three souls and seven spirits will also die if they lack the physical body for a long time.
"Generally speaking, death occurs seven days after the three souls and seven spirits leave the body," Zhang Xuezhou said. "However, some people with special abilities in this regard can live up to forty-nine days."
"What do you mean?" Ren Anran asked solemnly.
"We must find the professor's three souls and seven spirits as soon as possible and bring them back into his body!"
Zhang Xuezhou understood the theory, but he was still at a loss for what to do.
He didn't even know what form the three souls and seven spirits took, nor could he see them.
He pondered his many Technique Method and then quickly reviewed the 150 techniques that Dong Zhongshu had mastered, only to find that both of them had shortcomings.
"Yes, and there's also the Daoist Mu!"
Zhang Xuezhou pondered for a long time before remembering a cultivator he had almost overlooked.
The Daoist Mu of Hibiscus City.
This was the monk whom Zhang Xuezhou inexplicably admired upon Realm Entry.
Daoist Mu's cultivation level wasn't particularly high; three years ago, he was only at the Blood Penetration Realm, and he had even suffered physical injuries from being smoked by smoke during a fire at his temple.
Zhang Xuezhou estimated that the opponent was still at the Blood Penetration Realm cultivation level.
However, the focus is not on the cultivation level of the Daoist Mu, but rather on the fact that the Daoist Mu belongs to the Corpse Sect, which has conducted extensive research on Technique Method related to corpses, the three souls and seven spirits.
In his early years of wandering the martial world, Daoist Mu Daoist Mu repeatedly stumbled into pitfalls, but it was through these experiences that he pieced together a book called "The Corpse Jiao Canon".
Zhang Xuezhou remembered that the "Corpse Jiao Canon" contained techniques for collecting souls. At the time, Zhang Xuezhou Zhang Xuezhou considered such techniques to be too useless and incomplete. He had never memorized them, let alone practiced them.
But in the moment, this might be the only desperate measure he could find.
Moreover, Zhang Xuezhou was currently heading to Fuping County, which was not far from Hibiscus City, only about two hundred li away.
If Zhang Xuezhou took off from Fuping County, he could reach Hibiscus City in a very short time.
"This requires me to learn the incomplete soul-collecting technique in just a few days, and it also requires the professor's three souls and seven spirits to endure for such a long time!"
It was just evening, less than a day after Zhang Xuezhou returned from that other world.
This means that it will take Zhang Xuezhou six days to enter the time machine again, and seven days to return, while he also needs to spend some time cultivating in the real world.
Time was passing so slowly that Zhang Xuezhou didn't know if Ren Yisheng could endure it.
"Dad probably encountered a problem when using the Spirit-Based Realm Technique. He told me just a few days ago that he had already entered the True Spirit Realm and asked Xuezhou to refine more Spirit-Forging Pill. Perhaps this was some kind of experiment he was conducting..."
Zhang Xuezhou was pondering the matter of the soul-collecting technique, while Ren Anran had already pieced together all the events that had occurred over the past few days.
If Ren Yisheng had not died, the rest of the story is not hard to guess.
"If Dad's spirit can return and his body can recover, then what should we do?"
Ren Wuyang responded in a low voice.
Things are bad right now, but if we can resolve them, something wonderful will happen.
This could grant Ren Yisheng, who was confined to the twilight mansion, a possible freedom.
"Then I hope Dad is safe," Ren Anran replied softly.
When faced with the kind of situation mentioned by Zhang Xuezhou, both Ren Anran and Ren Wuyang were at a loss.
They are currently facing a potential pioneering event in a completely unfamiliar field, with no past experience to draw upon.
The only thing that kept the two relatively calm was that Zhang Xuezhou had experienced similar incidents many times before, which prevented them from completely losing their composure and allowed them to calmly analyze the situation.
"Dad's physical strength has reached a very low level, but he still needs IV fluids and we need to do our best to maintain his physical activity!"
Ren Wuyang didn't know how Zhang Xuezhou had survived until now, but after a person loses their three souls and seven spirits, all parts of the body will fall into disorder and find it difficult to function normally.
This involves not only many organs, but also the circulatory system, including blood.
This is completely different from the body's functioning after a person falls asleep; it is more akin to a state of shock or pseudo-death.
We must find Dad's three souls and seven spirits!
Ren Anran spoke in a low voice.
She stared wide-eyed at Ren Yisheng's body, then at the silent room, then at the twilight of night, and finally at the direction of the Luofu Palace.
"Xuezhou, do you know how to find the three souls and seven spirits?" Ren Anran asked.
"I'm not good at this kind of thing," Zhang Xuezhou shook his head and said, "But I'll try my best to think about it and see if I can find a possible solution!"
"How about we try the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique to soothe them?" Ren Wuyang suggested.
"In the absence of a stable body and mind, the calming ability of the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique is also a double-edged sword to the mind, potentially causing unimaginable harm," Ren Anran said, shaking his head.
"I suggest you two try the X432 repair technique to see if it can have any positive effect on the professor!"
Since purchasing the property, the Zhang family and the Ren Household have lived only a few dozen meters apart.
Zhang Manqian also came to the Ren Household villa to check on the situation. She listened quietly to everyone's stories until they began to explore possible solutions, at which point she offered cautious advice.
"The X432 repair technology is one of the few medical services currently available that addresses mental health issues," Zhang Manqian said. "Given the professor's physical condition, you should be able to quickly obtain this medical treatment!"
"My dad's mental state is a bit too advanced; the X432 repair technology won't work on him anymore, but what you said makes sense..."
Whether it works or not, there's no harm in giving it a try.
It's not just the Zhang family that has the financial resources for this; the Ren Household receives dividends from Feiyu Live, also currently possesses similar financial resources.
Ren Anran and Ren Wuyang were unable to obtain free treatment, but the approval for paid treatment should be swift.
Compared to using the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique or seeking other unreliable solutions, employing the X432 repair technology is clearly a more conservative and safer approach at present.
