Playboy: Medical and Martial Master

Chapter 578: Chapter 557: Yin Lightning and Yang Fire

"Xiao Zhezi, congratulations, you’re still alive."

Just as Sun Zhe was thinking about going out to find Leng Yueshuang for a big fight, Little Dragon Girl suddenly emerged from the White Jade Ring.

Looking at the chibi silver dragon floating in front of him, Sun Zhe’s face was full of bitterness, "No love left. You just can’t wait for me to die, right?"

Little Dragon Girl laughed heartily, and after observing him for a while, she said, "It seems that this medicinal power is only beneficial to you. Although your body is absorbing it and won’t let you regrow limbs, it will enhance your physique."

"The only trouble is that it will cause your Yang Qi to surge. If you don’t quickly balance it by absorbing Yin Qi, you will have an excess of Yang Qi."

Sun Zhe expressionlessly said, "Listening to your words is just like listening to empty words."

"Pia!"

Little Dragon Girl suddenly slapped his arm with her tail.

"Ah, it hurts! Sister Long, why are you hitting me?"

"Xiao Zhezi, I know you’re anxious, but just hold on. First, feel the changes inside your body."

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhe immediately sat cross-legged and began to inspect the changes in his Dantian with his Divine Sense.

Not checking was fine, but as soon as he did, he was scared!

He just realized that the Nascent Soul in his Dantian had disappeared and turned into a ball!

But this ball was completely different from the Golden Core formed upon reaching the Golden Core Realm; it was like a brilliant star floating in the dark universe.

However, after a deeper inspection, Sun Zhe discovered that the Nascent Soul, identical to himself, had not disappeared but was wrapped inside that ball, like a little figure encased in amber.

"How do you feel? What did you find?"

Little Dragon Girl’s voice suddenly came into his ears.

Sun Zhe said, "That feeling is hard to describe. It’s like there’s a huge space in the Dantian, which is dark and boundless, but the range I can explore is only near that Inner Core."

Little Dragon Girl chuckled, "This is the ’Elixir Field and Qi Sea,’ produced after gathering spirit, storing Spiritual Power."

"Spiritual Power?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, strictly speaking, Martial Artists after gathering spirit no longer use True Qi, but rather Spiritual Power."

Sun Zhe looked puzzled, waiting for her to continue.

Little Dragon Girl continued, "Spiritual Power is an evolved form of True Qi."

"Before being absorbed into the body, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is called ’Spiritual Qi,’ and once absorbed and merged with oneself, it’s called ’Spiritual Power.’

"The nature of Spiritual Power and True Qi isn’t much different, merely a different name, but comparatively, Spiritual Power is more potent than True Qi."

"Additionally, Martial Artists after gathering spirit are considered to step over that crucial threshold, so they’re generally called ’Cultivators’ at this point."

"Cultivators, huh?" Sun Zhe nodded, "I understand."

Little Dragon Girl said, "You are now at the first level of Spirit Gathering, once you reach the tenth level, which is Great Perfection, you can break through to the next major realm."

Sun Zhe hurriedly asked, "What comes after Spirit Gathering?"

"There’s no need to know too much right now; you’ll know in due course. With your current strength, you can move around unimpeded, unless those thousand-year old monsters show up."

"Hmm, I understand."

Sun Zhe withdrew his Divine Sense, sighed deeply, filled with anticipation in his heart.

The Spirit Gathering Realm, which many Martial Artists risked their lives to reach, is merely the doorstep to the path of cultivation.

So the road ahead is very, very long...

"Ah Zhe, you’re awake!"

While in thought, hurried footsteps echoed at the stone chamber’s entrance.

Sun Zhe turned his head to see Leng Yueshuang and Yao Yuelong approaching.

Following them, Liu Bingyue and Qing Kui leisurely joined them.

Sun Zhe shook his head, turned over, got off the bed, and held the approaching Leng Yueshuang softly, "I’m okay."

Leng Yueshuang looked up at him from his embrace, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, about to speak but suddenly felt something hard poke her abdomen, her pretty face turning red.

This guy, having just woken up, is so energetic, nobody compares.

Nearby, Yao Yuelong smiled, sizing up Sun Zhe from head to foot, feeling as though he had undergone a tremendous transformation.

Every move he made radiated a kind of mysterious Dao charm.

"I didn’t expect you actually awakened dual attributes."

Sun Zhe scratched his head, his gaze fell on Yao Yuelong’s beautiful face, and then turned to Qing Kui and Liu Bingyue, his eyes full of gratitude.

"This time, I owe it all to you. I’ll keep this great kindness in my heart."

In that mountain valley earlier, he saw through the cocoon how everyone fought desperately against Huang Tianjing for him.

Yao Yuelong, Leng Yueshuang, Little Dragon Girl were given; though Liu Bingyue and Qing Kui fought to protect themselves, no matter the reason, they genuinely helped him.

Liu Bingyue charmingly said, "So how will you thank this palace?"

Sun Zhe smirked, "How does Her Highness want me to thank you?"

Liu Bingyue’s eyes twinkled, "How about releasing the Jade Slave Seal in my body?"

Sun Zhe thought for a bit, earnestly saying, "I will release it, but not now. When my strength surpasses yours, and you pose no threat to me, I’ll grant you freedom."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bingyue’s beautiful eyes trembled slightly, she quickly avoided Sun Zhe’s gaze, gave a coquettish hum, and said no more.

For some reason, this little nemesis suddenly respected her, and she felt a bit unaccustomed. Deep down, something was stirring.

Sun Zhe naturally didn’t know what she was thinking, turning to Qing Kui, he said, "Qing Kui Senior, the same goes for you."

Qing Kui’s eyes were full of gratitude, he cupped his fists, "Thank you, Young Master!"

Little Dragon Girl suddenly flew above Sun Zhe’s head, somewhat impatient, "Alright alright, stop dawdling, Xiao Zhezi quickly show us your Dual Spiritual Power."

"Okay."

Sun Zhe released Leng Yueshuang from his embrace, then awkwardly walked to the side to keep a respectful distance from the others.

Everyone noticed his tent, but no one mentioned it, keeping silent tactfully.

Sun Zhe slowly took a deep breath, his gaze suddenly sharpened.

"Here it comes!"

Suddenly, the stone chamber crackled, as if space itself shattered!

Strange black light instantly filled the entire stone chamber!

Seeing this, everyone was stunned, finding it unbelievable.

Sun Zhe was actually emanating black lightning!

Compared to regular lightning, this black lightning lacked the straightforward tyranny and destructiveness but added a sense of gloominess, appearing eerily terrifying.

Then, Sun Zhe slowly raised his left hand, a ball of golden flame appeared from nowhere, dancing in the center of his palm.

Seeing this, Yao Yuelong’s beautiful eyes trembled, unable to suppress her excitement, "It’s Yin Thunder and Yang Fire!"

"No wonder... I never thought the lightning and fire attributes could coexist like this!"

Sun Zhe exhaled lightly, withdrawing both kinds of Spiritual Power, then internally inspecting, discovering that both types of Spiritual Power returned to the Elixir Field and Qi Sea through different meridians, without interference.

"I didn’t expect this outcome, but no matter what, I’m now considered an exceptionally rare dual attribute cultivator."
