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

Chapter 9 The Great Desire for Life!

Su Ye stood by the window and closed his eyes.

The moment perception unfolds.

Su Ye was deeply shaken.

Between heaven and earth, countless threads connect the depths of the sky, like flowing water.

Those were extremely fine and pale white threads, completely invisible to the naked eye, but clearly perceptible to him. They floated in the air, omnipresent, like spider silk scattered by the wind, or like dust drifting in the sunlight. They had no fixed direction, no regular trajectory, just quietly suspended and slowly flowing.

"What exactly are these threads?"

Su Ye stretched out his hand and tentatively spread his five fingers.

The threads slipped through his fingers without him feeling anything, as if they didn't exist.

Su Ye withdrew his hand and closed his eyes again.

These 'threads' seem to have always existed between heaven and earth, but Su Ye only saw them because he perfectly integrated the prototype of the water-based golden core and gained a certain 'sensory' ability.

Then perhaps using mental power is the right solution.

This was the first time Su Ye had begun to use his mental power.

A wisp of 'silk thread' was drawn in by Su Ye's spiritual power, trembling and falling down, flowing in from between his eyebrows.

Scorching hot.

A subtle yet extremely distinct burning sensation exploded from between my eyebrows, spreading along my forehead, temples, and back of my head, all the way down my spine, and then from my spine to my limbs and bones.

Su Ye could clearly feel every inch of the path that the thread passed through; wherever it passed, there was stinging and burning, like a red-hot needle slowly gliding across his nerves.

pain!

But the body is absorbing it greedily, every cell cheering as if it were a pirate who has found a treasure.

After completing a full cycle within the body, the 'silk thread' is quickly decomposed, absorbed, and integrated into the flesh and blood, disappearing without a trace.

In that instant, a change occurred in my body!

Heartbeat.

Boom, boom, boom.

Steady and powerful, each strike like thunder echoing through an empty valley.

Su Ye suddenly opened his eyes.

Full of energy.

No, it wasn't just that I was full of energy; it was as if my whole body had been injected with a brand new energy. My blood flowed faster, my muscles seemed to be brimming with inexhaustible strength, and even my vision was a level clearer than before.

It only absorbed a wisp.

Su Ye took a long, deep breath and slowly exhaled.

"Just as I guessed, these threads between heaven and earth are spiritual energy. No wonder my body has shown an extreme desire for them ever since I saw them."

He uttered the word in a low voice.

Having been exposed to numerous novels, Su Ye was quite familiar with this term.

Reiki.

It is the key to the evolution of countless living beings in this world.

The nascent golden core within that college student's body was a product of natural crystallization under the influence of this spiritual energy. Only after Su Ye perfectly fused with that water-type golden core did he finally gain the ability to sense and absorb spiritual energy.

A wisp of spiritual energy entered the body.

The effect was like taking some kind of powerful drug; I was full of energy and vitality.

Su Ye stretched his limbs, feeling the abundant power within his body, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

"Is this what spiritual practice feels like? Painful yet exhilarating!"

He closed his eyes again, focused his mind, and tried to draw in the second wisp of spiritual energy.

This time it was clearly much more difficult.

When he extended his senses, he could feel the weakness of his spiritual power. He finally managed to lock onto a wisp of spiritual energy, but the process of drawing it into his body became difficult. The wisp of spiritual energy lingered at his brow for two or three seconds before it barely managed to flow in.

"hiss."

What followed was an even more intense stinging pain.

The burning sensation from the first wisp of spiritual energy passing through his meridians hadn't even subsided when Su Ye began absorbing the second wisp. It was as if hot water had been poured over his already scalded meridians. Su Ye's brows furrowed tightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

I didn't feel this pain even when I was getting a puncture. The pain in the meridians and the pain in the flesh are indeed two different concepts.

call!

After the second wisp of spiritual energy completed its cycle, Su Ye plopped down on the edge of the bed, panting heavily.

My mental energy was greatly depleted, and my head felt throbbing, like the fatigue I felt after doing three hours of intense math problems. Moreover, the spiritual energy channels within my body, the pathways through which spiritual energy flows, were now faintly hot, as if they had been over-burned.

If a third strand comes in, the passage might not be able to withstand it.

Su Ye closed his eyes and carefully sensed his physical condition. His strength had increased significantly, and he felt as if he had inexhaustible energy. He gently touched his arm, and his muscles trembled slightly. His blood was boiling, and a power that Su Ye had never had before surged within him. Su Ye suddenly looked puzzled and gently ran his hand across his skin, leaving a faint white mark. It was tough, like the skin of some large animal.

"What a terrifying change."

He touched the area between his eyebrows, where a slight burning sensation still lingered.

"It will take at least some time to rest, and only after my mental strength recovers and the channel cools down, will it be possible to absorb the third strand."

Su Ye was clear-headed. As a medical student, he naturally paid extra attention to his body. In addition, the fusion with the nascent water-based golden core gave him powerful spiritual strength, allowing him to have a comprehensive understanding of his body.

Absorbing spiritual energy allows one's physique to undergo a frenzied improvement. This feeling is like having tasted the marrow and then craving more; it is painful, yet also extremely desirable.

"What a terrifying feeling of desire! Is this the great desire for life?"

But no rush, take your time.

Spiritual practice.

This is an extremely ancient word.

Su Ye always felt that his method of absorbing spiritual energy was wrong, but now he was just a 'novice apprentice' relying on the rudimentary form of a water-based golden core.

His expression gradually became serious.

He began to ponder a deeper question.

His golden elixir was taken from that college student's body.

If Su Ye hadn't happened to be on the operating table, hadn't happened to touch that nascent golden core, and hadn't happened to awaken a certain ability to see that line of blue text, this golden core would have been sent to the pathology department as an ordinary gallstone, lost its activity within a day, been sliced, stained, written into a report, and then thrown into the medical waste bin.

No one will know what it is.

But the question is, why did a nascent form of a golden elixir grow inside that college student's body?

Is this an isolated case?

Or is this a trend against the backdrop of the quiet revival of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?

If it's the latter, then it means that not only that college student, but many more people may be experiencing similar changes.

they do not know.

The doctors didn't know either.

Humanity is destroying the very seeds of its own evolution without even realizing it.

Su Ye's gaze darkened.

Is he the only one who knows right now?

"If this is a trend..."

Su Ye looked out the window. The morning sunlight shone on the city buildings, and everything looked no different from usual.

But he knew that those invisible threads of spiritual energy were silently seeping into every corner of the city.

It seeps into the air, into the soil, and into every person's body.

Some people's bodies react to spiritual energy, possessing special talents and forming various "seeds" that reflect the extraordinary. However, these seeds may react incompatiblely with the body.

"I should be grateful for my profession as a doctor."

If an ordinary person has a health problem, going to the hospital is their only option.

He slowly exhaled, his gaze becoming calm and profound.

Time to go to work.
