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

The next day and in the days that followed, Su Ye's life returned to a peaceful and fulfilling routine.

During the day, I work in the outpatient clinic, wards, assist with consultations, and so on.

In the evening, I practice breathing exercises, pondering breathing techniques, and repeatedly experiencing the subtle resonance between my heart, fascia, and muscle bundles.

The practice of spiritual cultivation is ultimately a long and arduous process, not something that can be accomplished in a single day.

Su Ye was quite patient with this.

In the end, he has now truly entered the inner sanctum. Although he is still far from the "extraordinary" he imagined, at least he is no longer like he was at the beginning, feeling his way across the river, doubting whether he has taken the wrong path with every step.

Every day now, there is visible progress.

When he practiced breathing exercises at night, the speed at which spiritual energy entered his body was almost twice as fast as it had been at the beginning. It was no longer the difficult, thread-by-thread guidance of the past, but rather like a small stream, slowly flowing into his body along the breathing rhythm he had figured out. The spiritual energy channel that ran from his brow down to his chest and abdomen became clearer with each passing day. What was initially just a faint line had now become like a very thin river, allowing him to clearly perceive where the spiritual energy flowed, where it was slightly stagnant, and where it flowed exceptionally smoothly.

The most direct change is in the body.

Su Ye's skin is no longer like that of an ordinary person. It is smooth and lustrous, with a warm and jade-like feel, without any roughness. He had specially tested it a couple of days ago, using a sharper blade and slowly pressing it down on his arm. In the end, the blade exploded in his hand, leaving only a thin red line.

The sensing range has also steadily expanded outward from the initial thirty meters or so.

However, all of this is still just accumulation.

It seems that something is still missing from a true "qualitative change".

In recent days, Grandpa Zhou Jingtang has also had Su Ye attend several consultations.

Unfortunately, cases like Li Yuefeng's are extremely rare.

Most intractable diseases ultimately fall under the category of intractable diseases within the modern medical system; they are simply complex, rare, and have vague symptoms, but they have nothing to do with being "extraordinary."

This made him sigh inwardly.

Jiangcheng is still too small.

It's a city of moderate size with a large population and a bustling hospital, but there are still very few cases that allow him to come into contact with those that fall between "illness and the extraordinary."

afternoon.

When Zhang Yuanping returned after dinner, carrying a thermos, he gestured with his chin towards Su Ye as soon as he entered the room.

"It seems that Dr. Zhou is looking for you because of a patient's follow-up visit."

Su Ye paused, looking up at the medical record in his hand.

Zhou Jingtang was looking for him.

Follow-up visit.

An image flashed into his mind almost instantly.

Li Yuefeng.

……

Li Yuefeng hasn't been doing well these days.

Ever since Zhou Jingtang and Su Ye revealed the secret of his "hidden skill in illness" to him, he has devoted almost all his spare time to trying to control that power.

Because that power was far too important to him.

What is a military region?

To put it bluntly, it's a place where strength and hierarchy are paramount, with strict rules and orderly procedures. Ultimately, what truly allows someone to gain a foothold, move up the ladder, and receive more attention and resources is strength.

Li Yuefeng knew very well.

If I can truly control this power within me, my future path in the military region will definitely be different.

But reality is far from as simple as he imagined.

His current success rate is probably only one in ten.

If you can successfully force that "vibration force" into your fist even once out of ten attempts, you're considered lucky.

Moreover, even if he succeeds, while the power of his punch is extraordinary, with astonishing force erupting from his muscles, fascia, and joints, it is followed by extremely intense discomfort.

It looked like the muscles had been scorched by fire.

The blood and qi surged upwards in my chest like crazy.

After each punch, he would be drenched in sweat, his arms would ache, his heart would pound, and he would feel completely drained.

He himself had already vaguely realized that what was happening to him was a special kind of evolution.

However, this evolution, as it stands, is a case of killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of your own.

Therefore, he had no choice but to go to Zhou Jingtang again.

no way.

This old man understands meridians and bones, and he can see the big picture from small details. He also truly possesses the essence of decades of medical experience. In his opinion, only this old man can help him in this matter.

It was still the same hospital room.

The afternoon sun slanted in, and the air carried a faint smell of disinfectant.

A knock came at the door.

Zhou Jingtang didn't even look up, and simply said:

"Come in."

The door opened.

Su Ye walked in.

Li Yuefeng sat by the hospital bed. When he saw him arrive, he was taken aback at first, and then subconsciously straightened his back.

Zhou Jingtang then put down the inspection documents in his hand, glanced between the two men, and spoke in a calm tone.

"Let's begin."

Li Yuefeng originally wanted to directly show Zhou Jingtang the progress he had made in the past few days.

But Zhou Jingtang suddenly turned slightly to the side and tilted his head towards Su Ye.

"Show him."

Li Yuefeng was taken aback.

Zhou Jingtang looked at Su Ye, his aged eyes carrying a subtle yet profound meaning and a sense of satisfaction.

"Young people have active minds."

"Xiao Ye has solid medical knowledge and a quick mind. It's best to talk to someone like him about your 'new' and 'changing' situations."

Su Ye was also stunned for a moment, then looked up at Zhou Jingtang.

At that moment, a slight thought crossed his mind.

Over the past few days, he had become quite familiar with the old man. The more he interacted with him, the more he felt that the old man was worthy of respect, not only because of his medical expertise, but also because of his unreserved and generous mentorship of younger generations.

Zhou Jingtang was genuinely mentoring him, wanting to pass on some things completely to Su Ye.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuefeng no longer hesitated, stood up, took a deep breath, and began to tell Su Ye about his situation over the past few days.

He spoke very frankly.

Every detail is meticulously recorded: which times you succeeded, which times you failed, what it felt like when you failed, and how you exerted your strength when you succeeded.

Su Ye listened very attentively.

And it's not just about listening.

His senses remained focused on Li Yuefeng's arms, shoulders, back, waist, and abdomen, carefully observing the muscles within this man's body that naturally conformed to the "technique".

The recruitment sequence of flesh, fascia, joints, and nerves.

Every detail was constantly dissected, magnified, and reassembled in his mind.

As he read, he followed Li Yuefeng's description and offered his own judgment.

"Don't rush to unleash that full power all at once."

"First, stabilize the vibration in your forearm. When exerting force, don't let your shoulder rush out first. If your shoulder gets out of control, the fascia behind it will break down."

"Also, your breathing is off. You subconsciously held your breath just now, causing all the blood to rush upwards, which is why you feel tightness in your chest. You need to let that breath subside before pushing the force forward."

"Don't expect to succeed in one go. First, learn to keep the vibration inside your body. If you can keep it inside, you can suppress it. The harder you suppress it, the more powerful it will be when it bursts out."

As Li Yuefeng listened, his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

On several occasions, Su Ye's casual remark was enough to make his mind suddenly clear up as if the clouds had parted and the sun was shining.

"Yes! That's exactly what I mean!"

"I used to think that the energy would get chaotic as soon as it came in, but it turns out it wasn't the energy that got chaotic, it was me who got chaotic first."

The more Li Yuefeng listened, the more shaken he became.

When he first met Su Ye, he only felt that this young man was extraordinary based on his soldier's intuition, but now he was truly convinced.

Ambition knows no age.

The young man in front of me is not old, but every word he speaks is like a knife's edge. He can always cut to the most critical point with a simple sentence.

This is no longer considered clever.

This is transparency.

He's a genius.

What Li Yuefeng didn't know was that Su Ye was able to speak so accurately because he used his water-based spiritual perception to observe the changes in Li Yuefeng's muscles inch by inch. This was the terrifying aspect of a water-based Golden Core cultivator. It was as if he had obtained a cracked version of this world. The clarity of his spiritual power allowed him to see too many deep-seated things.

Li Yuefeng is the kind of person who is naturally suited to the art of "technique".

But what I possess is the "technique" itself.

The two together are like a living, breathing answer laid out before you.

Su Ye observed more and more closely and remembered more and more deeply. If the inch force were completely mastered by someone like Li Yuefeng, its power would be absolutely extraordinary.
