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

He Qingqing's pen fell to the ground. The sound wasn't loud, but it instantly silenced the consultation room.

The mother bent down to pick up the pen, her face showing even greater worry.

"Why are you so clumsy, kid? Are your hands shaking?"

He Qingqing did not speak.

She looked at Su Ye, her impatience completely gone, replaced by undisguised shock. Her secret, hidden deep within her heart, had been seen through at a glance, filling her with extreme fear.

Su Ye glanced at her, then looked at the mother.

"Please wait outside for a while, family members. I'll ask her a few questions alone. There are some symptoms that children might be embarrassed to talk about in front of their parents."

"Doctor, this..."

He Qingqing immediately snapped out of her daze and hurriedly said, "Mom, you go out first, I'll talk to the doctor."

The mother looked at her, then at Su Ye, and finally nodded.

"Then tell the truth, don't hide it from the doctor."

The consultation room door was closed.

He Qingqing sat in the chair, her fingers tightly gripping the hem of her clothes. Even though Su Ye still looked young, she no longer dared to look at him with the same gaze she had just had.

Su Ye didn't beat around the bush.

"Your situation is unusual. When did this begin?"

He Qingqing remained silent for a few seconds.

Ten days ago.

Su Ye paused slightly with his fingertips.

ten days ago.

It happened right after that thick fog descended.

Jade Emperor Mountain, Jade Balance Mountain, Crimson Cloud Spirit Fruit, Evolved Beings, and now He Qingqing before us—everything is corroborating each other.

Perhaps everyone has changed? That dense fog accelerated the changes in the world!

Most people experience subtle changes, so subtle that they may not even notice them themselves. But He Qingqing is different. The spiritual energy of her kidney water has begun to shift, and it even shows a tendency to develop towards the ice attribute.

"After that day, did you feel like your mind suddenly became faster?"

He Qingqing's breath hitched.

"Yes."

"The more pronounced the coolness in your lower back, the clearer your mind becomes?"

"Yes."

"So you later deliberately tried to feel it, and even tried to manipulate it."

He Qingqing opened her mouth, but finally whispered, "I don't know if that counts as a transfer. I just focused my attention, and it became clearer."

Su Ye nodded.

"That's the problem."

He Qingqing immediately sat up straight.

Su Ye looked at her, his tone calm.

"You don't have ordinary kidney disease, but you can't be said to be completely healthy either. The changes in your body are concentrated in your kidneys. There is an excess of kidney water, which is shifting towards coldness. Your body can't handle it, so you have frequent urination, hematuria, lower back pain, and even fainting."

He Qingqing was deeply shaken. Her current situation must be an extremely mysterious change, touching upon the secrets that were about to emerge in this world.

She originally thought it was already outrageous that the young doctor could guess even one sentence, but now every word Su Ye uttered felt like it was landing directly on the chill inside her body.

She seemed to have grasped at a straw, her voice becoming somewhat urgent.

"What should I do then?"

Su Ye said, "First, we need to get checked out. Medical problems must be ruled out. We need to do urinalysis, kidney function tests, and ultrasound. Hematuria is not a minor issue. Perhaps the changes in your body have indeed damaged your health, and these also require medical treatment."

He Qingqing nodded quickly.

Su Ye continued, "If the test results are not too abnormal, then what you really need to do is not to suppress it or stimulate it, but to adapt to it."

"adapt?"

"right."

Su Ye raised his hand and lightly traced a line on the table.

"What you did before was to keep drawing that coolness to your brain, so you felt clear-headed, but the burden on your kidneys would increase. It's like a river that only flows in one direction; the riverbed will eventually be destroyed."

He Qingqing listened attentively, even softening her breathing.

"When you feel that coolness again, you should learn to guide it gradually. Don't let it rush into your brain on its own instinct. Try to let it start from your kidneys and slowly spread along your waist, back, lower abdomen, and limbs, so that every corner and part of your body can bear this energy."

Su Ye paused for a moment.

"Guide a sharp thread into a gentle net, allowing your body to adapt."

He Qingqing's eyes widened slightly.

Su Ye said, "Being able to master it is the first step to starting the evolution."

evolution.

Upon hearing those two words, He Qingqing froze completely.

She stood up abruptly, so quickly that the chair slid backward.

"you……"

She felt her worldview was being restructured. Did the doctors in the hospital already know about this change? Or was her change actually reflected in some common medical symptoms?

wrong.

He Qingqing suddenly raised her head and looked at Su Ye. She felt that her thinking was too rigid. This young doctor in front of her was probably someone who had come into contact with the "extraordinary" and was extremely knowledgeable about the "extraordinary"!

Am I really that lucky?

Over the past ten days, she has been certain that her own changes are among the few, and most people cannot predict what those changes will be like. But the person in front of her is a prodigy who has already achieved great things and has been in contact with the "extraordinary" for a long time.

She quickly lowered her head.

"senior."

Su Ye was taken aback, then couldn't help but chuckle.

His cautious and hesitant demeanor inexplicably reminded him of his early self.

At that time, he knew nothing. He groped his way forward with a water-type golden pill in his arms, afraid that one wrong step would lead to eternal damnation. Thinking of this, Su Ye's eyes softened.

"Don't be so nervous."

Su Ye leaned back in his chair, his tone indifferent.

"All things in the universe may be striving for the same goal, but it has not yet been fully revealed. The future may be full of crises, but it is up to human effort to achieve it."

He Qingqing raised her head.

"At least for now, you're ahead of many people, so you don't have to be so cautious."

He Qingqing's heart skipped a beat.

She suddenly felt that the fear that had been weighing on her heart these past few days was gently lifted by those words.

This is a road.

A dangerous, yet real, road.

She quickly memorized every word Su Ye had just said, trying to get her body used to it gradually.

"Senior, if I encounter this problem again in the future, may I come to you for help?"

Su Ye smiled.

"Just register."

He pointed to his employee badge.

"I'm just a junior doctor at Jiangcheng No. 1 Hospital."

He Qingqing looked at his employee badge.

Su Ye.

She silently repeated the name in her heart, making sure she remembered it.

Outside the consultation room, the mother was getting impatient. As soon as the door opened, she rushed to greet her.

"How is it? What did the doctor say?"

He Qingqing quickly grabbed her.

"Go get checked first."

"What happened? What did you say in there? No, I have to go back and ask the doctor."

The mother turned to leave as she spoke.

He Qingqing's expression changed, and she quickly grabbed her and pulled her outside.

"Mom, the doctor said to do the tests first, so don't bother them."

"Why are you being so secretive, child?"

"No, really no, let's check first."

The mother and daughter's voices gradually faded into the distance.

Su Ye sat in the consultation room, looking at the door that had closed again, and gently tapped the table with his fingertips.

Kidney water melts ice.

interesting.

The fourth consultation room seemed much more lively than he had imagined.
