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

Su Ye felt that this was the longest afternoon he had ever experienced in both his lives combined.

The golden pill was pressed against his heart in the left breast pocket.

The afternoon outpatient clinic will proceed as usual.

Zhang Yuanping sat in the main seat to see patients, while Su Ye stood beside him, absent-minded, his mind preoccupied with the golden elixir.

The outpatient clinic closed at 5:30 p.m.

"Has the post-operative record for today's surgery been written?"

"It's been written and entered into the system."

"Okay, let's go home early."

It was already dark when Su Ye walked out of the hospital.

……

7:20 PM, rented room.

Lock the door, draw the curtains, and turn on the desk lamp.

Su Ye sat at his desk and peeled off the gauze layer by layer.

The nascent golden elixir lay quietly on the white gauze.

Under the warm yellow light of the lamp, it looks even more beautiful than in the operating room. It is a deep blue-black color with a smooth, mirror-like surface. Inside, there are deeper patterns that flow slowly, like a miniature deep-sea current sealed in a solid.

When Su Ye's fingertips approached it, a layer of extremely fine goosebumps rose on his skin, as if some kind of field was interacting with his body.

It is alive.

Water embryo.

The kidneys belong to the water element.

This is the most basic correspondence between the five elements and the internal organs in the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine: the kidney belongs to water, the liver to wood, the heart to fire, the lungs to metal, and the spleen to earth.

"It crystallizes in the kidneys, so it belongs to the water element..." Su Ye muttered to himself, "In other words, this crystal may generate different types of energy depending on its location in different organs of the body?"

He recalled the state of that college student.

He was full of energy, had a rosy complexion, bright eyes, and quick thinking. A kidney stone patient should normally be hunched over in pain and weak, but he was chatting with the attending physician about some kind of elixir in the consultation room.

He himself said, "My mind has been exceptionally clear these past two days, and I'm in great shape."

Water embryo, spirit?

Su Ye has an active mind.

When the nascent golden core was inside him, it was subtly strengthening his spiritual power. In addition, because he was a transmigrator, his spiritual power was exceptionally strong. He was completely unaware of this and simply felt that he was in "good condition".

Su Ye took a deep breath and refocused his gaze on the nascent golden core in front of him.

The line of light blue, semi-transparent text reappeared, now with some additional words.

[Water Embryo - Embryo of the Golden Elixir]

[Water Element, Spiritual System]

[The extraordinary talent that emerges in the human body under the nurturing influence of the environment]

[Compatibility: 10]

If the compatibility is too low, forced absorption will result in rejection, which can be life-threatening in severe cases.

Su Ye's gaze was fixed on that number.

10.

There is another line of smaller text below—

Should we proceed with the transplant?

Rejection.

These two words were all too familiar to Su Ye. The biggest enemy of transplantation is rejection. Hyperacute rejection can destroy transplanted organs within minutes, and acute rejection can lead to a rapid deterioration of organ function.

The activity of the Golden Elixir also has its own time limit, and it loses its activity within a day. The surgery ended at 10 a.m., so he has a maximum of 14 hours left.

Su Ye closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down.

How to improve compatibility?

"Give it a try first."

Su Ye took out a box of lancets from the drawer, disinfected them, and pricked his left ring finger.

A drop of blood fell on the surface of the embryo.

Instead of dripping, the blood seeped in as if absorbed by a sponge, and a faint dark red line appeared inside the deep blue crystal.

[Compatibility: 10 → 12]

Su Ye was overjoyed; it was useful!

pat!

Compatibility: 14

pat!

Compatibility: 15.

pat!

The price hasn't gone up.

Is it a phase of saturation?

Su Ye pressed the needle hole and waited for twenty minutes. He did it again, but the final compatibility only reached 19 before saturating again.

"Try a few more times."

Compatibility: 26.

Su Ye looked at the number, then at his fingertips covered in needle marks, and did some mental calculations. At this rate, he wondered how many rounds it would take to push the line to safety... This method wouldn't work.

……

Su Ye stared at the crystal and suddenly noticed a detail.

It is vibrating.

An extremely faint, invisible vibration.

Similar to a heartbeat?

Frequency.

A thought flashed through Su Ye's mind.

Resonance.

A fundamental principle is that when two objects have the same frequency, the vibration of one will drive the vibration of the other. When the frequencies are perfectly synchronized, the energy transfer efficiency is the highest and the resistance is the lowest.

Although Su Ye had a strong theoretical foundation, he had also read many novels. In each cultivation novel, the focus on the cultivator's breathing was very important, which inspired him.

"Breathing, frequency, heart rate..."

Su Ye closed his eyes, held the dan embryo in his palm, and placed it close to the kidney area of ​​his lower back.

He slowed his breathing and focused his attention on the sensation in his palm.

The faint pulse became clearer.

Su Ye began to adjust his breathing rhythm, trying to get closer to that frequency.

breathe!

About five minutes later, he felt a strange change—the embryo in his palm seemed to have softened a little and was shrinking, becoming more solid, and vaguely appearing as dark black light flowing around his fingertips.

He opened his eyes and looked at the line of text.

[Compatibility: 26 → 38]

It jumped to twelve o'clock in an instant.

Su Ye's breathing almost became erratic.

He steadied himself and continued to maintain the breathing rhythm.

38→ 43.

43→ 49.

Fifteen minutes later.

[Compatibility: 56]

It's many times faster than dripping blood.

However, after reaching level 56, the rate of increase slowed down significantly. Resonance could bring him closer to the embryo, but it could not completely eliminate the rejection barrier. Just like two tuning forks can resonate, but they are ultimately two different tuning forks.

Su Ye opened his eyes and glanced at the time.

9:47 PM.

With a compatibility score of 56, the risk of rejection has changed from "life-threatening" to "high, with a risk of meridian damage".

not enough.

The success of the two experiments emboldened Su Ye.

A glint of madness flashed in his eyes.

His gaze fell on the gauze, iodine, cotton swabs, band-aids, and several sterile injection needles of different sizes next to the sink.

Looking at the 'golden core' at the tip of his finger, getting smaller and smaller.

A crazy idea popped into my head.

Or should we "send them in" first and then let them adapt?

This idea is dangerous.

But Su Ye was seriously considering it at this moment, his mind was exceptionally clear, as if the steps he was to take next immediately transformed into clear and reliable images in his mind after that thought appeared.

Puncture implantation.

He had memorized the steps Zhang Yuanping had taken during the previous surgery.

This unprecedented clarity of thought made him feel exceptionally good!

This golden elixir seems to be subtly influencing Su Ye as well!

"I don't need to establish a complete surgical channel. I just need a thick enough needle to deliver the embryonic elixir to the vicinity of the kidney. The embryonic elixir itself has a tendency to 'return to its original position' and 'regenerate,' so there shouldn't be any major problems in the short term. As long as I use this system-like power to adjust the compatibility to 100%, it will be done."

But how is that possible?

The moment the thought crossed my mind, reason immediately extinguished it.

Perform a lumbar puncture on yourself.

This is impossible.

Let's put aside the issues with the movements.

Aseptic, spinal nerves...

If his hand slips even slightly, Su Ye will be fired on the spot.

But now Su Ye feels that he can do it.

This confidence comes from who knows where.

He is indeed a genius.

He consistently achieved the highest grades in the entire school during his studies and is a legendary figure in the medical school.

But this is just too unbelievable.

Reason was struggling against that inexplicable 'supernatural' impulse.

He could feel the pulse of the embryonic elixir, and he could feel a vague "flow" within his body. When he was doing the resonance just now, he could even vaguely "see" the location and outline of his kidneys.

Su Ye stood up and walked to the sink.

The person in the mirror looked pale, with dry lips and needle marks on all ten fingers.

His eyes burned with passion.

He seemed like a madman.

He is a genius, and geniuses are always bold.

This courage was like a blazing fire, and when it burned fiercely, it revealed the face of a madman.

He took out iodine, cotton swabs, and sterile gauze from the first aid kit, and then pulled out a 14G central venous catheter. This was the thickest needle in the first aid kit, with an inner diameter just big enough to hold the embryo. He was a little nervous, though, because such a needle would leave a very large opening, making it difficult to stop the bleeding. A slight mistake could cause a major problem.

Close your eyes.

As if ripples were spreading, the golden pill in his palm felt exceptionally cool. He could "see" the muscle layers beneath his skin, feel the location of his kidneys, and even sense the slight warm pulsation on the surface of his kidneys. Everything seemed to be divinely aided.

The needle pierced the skin.

pain.

Without anesthesia, every millimeter of the puncture was a real pain. As the needle pierced through the subcutaneous fat and the fascia of the lower back, he could feel the changes in resistance from different tissue layers.

He actually managed to hold back!

The weight of his spirit seemed to be able to withstand all pain.

Five centimeters - six centimeters - seven centimeters.

Arrived.

Su Ye pushed the needle core to push out the embryo stuck at the front of the needle tube.

A chill burst forth from his waist, as if an entire glacier had poured into his body, spreading from his waist to his limbs, rushing up his spine to the top of his head, and then pouring down from the top of his head.

Su Ye abruptly pulled out the needle, pressed gauze against the puncture site with one hand to stop the bleeding, and leaned against the edge of the sink, clenching his teeth.

The text flashed wildly in my field of vision—

[Compatibility: 56→63→71→78……]

[Transplantation in progress...]

The numbers are jumping around rapidly.

After the embryonic elixir entered the body, the resonance effect was amplified countless times, directly immersing Su Ye in his blood, his tissues, and his spiritual energy field.

The rejection reaction occurred simultaneously.

A sharp pain struck!

Su Ye slid to the ground, his back against the sink, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

He didn't make a sound.

He was biting a towel between his teeth, breathing heavily but rhythmically—he was using the resonance breathing method he had previously figured out, inhaling every three seconds and exhaling every three seconds, trying to keep in sync with the embryo as much as possible.

[Compatibility: 82→85→89……]

The numbers are still rising.

The pain is also increasing.

But when it rose to 91, the pain suddenly began to subside.

It's like the tide going out.

The tearing sensation quickly subsided, replaced by a strange, cool feeling!

[Compatibility: 91→94→97……]

[Compatibility reached 100%, begin fusion?]

"Integration".

[The embryonic form of the golden elixir has been positioned – left kidney]

[Host: Su Ye]

[Current Status: In the process of merging, estimated to take 72 hours to fully merge]

All the words slowly faded away.

Su Ye leaned against the sink, panting heavily.

His whole body looked like it had been washed with water; sweat soaked through his pants, his hair was plastered to his forehead, and blood was still seeping from the puncture site. He reached out and touched it; the bleeding had almost stopped?

Strange things!

He had thought of several hemostasis plans in his mind beforehand, but he did not expect that the puncture site would be so easy to treat, and even the needle wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Su Ye's attention was quickly drawn to the strange sensation in his body.

Deep in the left lumbar region, where the kidneys are located.

Slightly cool.

It has a pulsation.

It resonated with his heartbeat.

You have plenty of time, but you're a complete madman who chose the most dangerous method. The 'future' is coming, and it's the stage for madmen like you...

The text appeared abruptly.

Su Ye seemed to see a kind of... exasperation in the system?

"Could it be that they didn't die because the system activated?"

"How could that be!"

"I'm just too awesome."
