Where's my golden core? Did you think I removed a kidney stone?

Chapter 48 The Heartfire Resounds in the Palace!

Su Ye's spiritual power silently seeped into Li Tong's chest through that finger.

The next moment, his eyes flickered slightly.

During the last marathon, Su Ye sensed a connection between Li Tong's body and his own water-based golden core, but he didn't realize what that connection was.

wrong.

It was completely different from what he had previously guessed.

The abnormality in Li Tong's heart was not some kind of crystal that was about to form.

There was no "nucleus," no "embryo," and no nascent form similar to the one that had become substantial within Wang Ming's body.

Yes, it is fire.

A fire in the truest sense.

Deep within Li Tong's heart, a cluster of crimson-gold flames burned quietly. The fire was not violent; in fact, it was quite still, and it was precisely this stillness that made it all the more eerie. The flames and the beating of his heart completely overlapped; with each beat, the flames would tremble slightly, and with each breath Li Tong took, a tiny ripple would spread across the edge of the flames.

call.

suck.

The fire in the heart flickers.

The rhythm contains a very peculiar fluctuation.

Su Ye sank into it in an instant.

That's brilliant.

This resonated naturally with the rudimentary form of the breathing technique he had deduced. It was as if the path he had previously explored was merely a tentative exploration along the outer edge of the stone wall, while Li Tong's inner fire had directly illuminated the patterns inside the stone wall.

Flames, heartbeat, breath.

The three are intertwined.

This is even more valuable than a fully formed crystal.

Because this is a "process".

An evolutionary process unfolding before our very eyes, at a quasi-orthodox level.

"Dr. Su..."

Li Tong's voice pulled Su Ye back from his near-absent-minded contemplation.

The man sat in the examination chair, his forehead was already sweating, his lips were a little pale, but his eyes were fixed on Su Ye, with tension and a little fear that he could hardly suppress.

"Am I beyond saving? What's wrong with me?"

"I do have a private doctor, but he has no idea what my condition is and doesn't dare to prescribe any medication indiscriminately."

"You're the only option I have left now."

Su Ye looked at him and remained silent for a moment.

He did indeed sink in just a moment ago.

That frequency is too precious.

Li Tong's condition might just be a troublesome and strange illness to others, but for Su Ye, it was a real problem right in front of him, a problem that could help him continue to deduce the breathing technique!

He slowly withdrew his finger, his tone becoming calmer.

However, the question now is how Su Ye should explain the current situation to Li Tong in front of him. After thinking it over, Su Ye's eyes brightened.

"From the perspective of traditional medicine, your condition is certainly considered an illness. However, from another perspective, it can also be understood as a kind of 'evolution.'"

Li Tong was taken aback.

"evolution?"

"Hmm." Su Ye nodded. "We've encountered similar patients before, but there are very few cases, and the hospital can only help a small number of people. From a certain perspective, your situation might not be a bad thing."

Li Tong opened his mouth, looking somewhat bewildered for a moment.

Evolution, a good thing...

Is that really true?

My buddy is burning to death.

However, Su Ye's words gave him a lifeline.

Su Ye continued, "Besides feeling unwell, have you had any other symptoms lately? Think carefully."

Li Tong frowned subconsciously, closed his eyes, and tried hard to recall.

"I……"

At first, he didn't actually notice anything.

The burning sensation in my chest was so intense, like a fire pressing on my heart day and night, making me irritable and unable to care about anything else.

But when Su Ye asked him this question, he suddenly realized that he did seem to be a little different these days.

"I feel stronger than before."

"And...jump higher, run faster."

Li Tong slowly opened his eyes, his expression showing a look of astonishment that even he himself couldn't believe.

"I initially thought it was because I've been too anxious lately and my mind was a bit muddled, so I didn't think about it in that way."

As he spoke, his voice trembled slightly. He tried to overcome the burning pain in his heart to recall and feel, only to find that his current strength was astonishing. If it weren't for this pain that was almost burning him up, his current state would be better than ever before!

This……

That's unbelievable!

Meanwhile, Su Ye was contemplating Li Tong's current situation as he sensed it, his heart burning with anger, his breath sounding like a roaring palace.

"Heart Fire Resounds in the Palace"

Su Ye has gained a deeper understanding of the "extraordinary" evolution. All the evolvers here have traceable origins. This world has now revealed a corner of its mystery to me. Once I have engraved all the systems into my mind, I will occupy an important position in this era of ignorance.

"Breathe in rhythm with me."

Li Tong was taken aback, then quickly sat up straight.

After speaking, Su Ye released his breathing rhythm, each breath in and out with a special rhythm, his chest resounding and his breaths rippling like waves.

Although it was only a fragment of the breathing rhythm, it was something that Su Ye had summarized, categorized, and refined from the beating frequency of Li Tong's heart and the rhythm of his muscle tremors. It originated from the same source and was naturally smooth.

Su Ye's spiritual power once again probed into Li Tong's body.

This time, he saw it much more clearly.

The fire in Li Tong's heart was like a flame hidden in a dark and ancient palace. The palace was invisible, but the feeling was extremely clear. It was as if every heartbeat would make the firelight in the palace flicker and echo.

The fire of the heart resounds in the palace.

It truly lives up to its name.

His water-based golden core excels in mental cultivation, observation, and deduction. In such a vague and uncertain era, such abilities are most valuable.

After a few rounds of breathing, Li Tong's breathing gradually stabilized.

The burning sensation pressing on my chest began to dissipate little by little.

Li Tong was the first to feel the change. The feeling that was like burning coals pressing on his chest was slowly sinking, as if it had retreated from his chest to a deeper place. It was no longer so scorching, no longer so chaotic, and his whole body felt much more relaxed.

He couldn't help but look up, staring at Su Ye in shock.

But at that moment, Su Ye suddenly withdrew his hand, and his tone turned cold.

"You are not allowed to reveal a single word about what happened today."

Li Tong was startled.

The next moment, Li Tong felt that the young doctor's eyes suddenly turned extremely cold, as if he had transformed from a calm and gentle doctor into something he could not understand at all.

death.

This word was originally too far removed from modern city dwellers, as distant as words on a book page or numbers in the news, completely irrelevant to their own lives.

But at that moment, Li Tong truly felt a sense of "death".

The hairs on the back of his head stood on end, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he even paused for a moment.

His face turned pale, and he nodded hurriedly.

"I understand, I understand, I absolutely won't say anything wrong!"

Su Ye stared at him for two seconds before slowly withdrawing his imposing aura.

In his heart, however, this kind of deterrence might not be reliable.

Li Tong is ultimately just an ordinary person. Just because he was frightened today doesn't mean he'll keep his mouth shut in the future.

But it doesn't matter.

He has now passed the initial sensitive stage of being on edge. As long as he doesn't actively cause a fuss, there won't be a big problem. On the contrary, if he can spread some rumors and come into contact with more "like-minded" people, that would be a good thing for Su Ye.

Su Ye sat back down, his tone returning to calm.

"Keep breathing at the same rhythm as before."

"After you get back, take it once in the morning and once in the evening. Don't rush it."

"When your chest feels hot, first regulate your breathing, then calm your mind; don't try to tough it out."

Li Tong nodded repeatedly.

A few minutes later, he felt that the burning sensation in his chest that was driving him crazy had actually subsided by more than half.

The change was so obvious.

It clearly made him feel uneasy.

He looked at Su Ye, his eyes filled not just with gratitude, but with something akin to awe.

"Dr. Su, no."

"Master Su."

Li Tong lowered his voice, his expression a mixture of excitement and awe.

"Are we... about to become immortals?"

Su Ye rolled his eyes.

You big-headed immortal!
