Playboy: Medical and Martial Master-Chapter 331 - 327: Qi Deviation (Part 2)

By the time the medicine was prepared and fed to Su Chunming, it was already past two in the morning.

In the room, Sun Zhe sat by the bed, attentively taking Su Chunming's pulse. Su Ai stood quietly to the side, watching Sun Zhe's serious and handsome profile, her heart trembling. Divine Doctor Sun is even more handsome than Sister Nanzhi described.

"Divine Doctor Sun, how is Grandpa Tributor?"

Sun Zhe released Su Chunming's wrist and smiled. "His qi and blood have recovered, and his pulse is normal. He's basically out of danger."

Hearing this, Su Ai's eyes lit up. "Really? As expected of Divine Doctor Sun!"

"However, this medicine does have some side effects. He'll sweat continuously and need to urinate frequently, so just make sure he drinks plenty of water."

"Okay, okay, got it!"

Sun Zhe chuckled, a trace of fatigue flashing across his expression. "It's getting late. I should head back and get some rest. You should get some rest soon, too."

After returning to his guest room, Sun Zhe washed up briefly before sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed. He began to cultivate, digesting the pure Yin Essence within him.

As he circulated and digested it, he realized that the richness of Yao Yuelong's Initial Blood Yin Essence far exceeded his imagination! The moment he began, he felt an endless stream of True Qi pouring into his Dantian. The Nascent Soul within his Dantian became ravenous and agitated, frantically absorbing the True Qi.

As time passed, once all the Yin Essence had transformed into pure True Qi and been absorbed by the Nascent Soul, Sun Zhe was astonished to discover that his Nascent Soul had fully "grown up." In his perception, the Nascent Soul now looked exactly like him, as if another version of himself existed within his body.

Based on this, I must have reached the Late Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. And if I absorb the Red Snake Inner Core now, I might even be able to break through to Nascent Soul Great Perfection in one go!

Feeling the rise in his cultivation, Sun Zhe was overjoyed. He quickly got off the bed, retrieved the Red Snake Inner Core from his small bag, and returned to the bed to sit cross-legged again.

He still remembered the method Bai Ran had told him—to absorb an Inner Core, one simply had to place it near the Dantian in the abdomen and use one's own True Qi to draw out the True Qi contained within it.

A short while later, after just two simple attempts, Sun Zhe successfully used his Pure Yang True Qi to draw out the True Qi from within the Inner Core.

Just as he prepared to calmly absorb it, the Inner Core suddenly began to spin rapidly and float into mid-air, as if it had been stimulated by something. Before Sun Zhe could react, the Red Snake Inner Core erupted with a fiery aura. It was like a steamer basket being opened, the scalding heat searing his entire body red.

What the hell is happening?

Startled, Sun Zhe reached out to grab the Inner Core. But his hand passed strangely through empty air. Only then did he realize that the Inner Core had, at some point, transformed into a form of energy and was no longer solid.

What's going on now? Could it be because of my Pure Yang True Qi?

As he pondered, the Inner Core floating before him suddenly transformed into a mass of fiery True Qi. It slammed into his abdomen and began to forcefully drill into his body through his pores.

AARGH!

Sun Zhe cried out in pain, clutching his stomach as he collapsed onto the bed. The sensation was like having a red-hot iron forcibly shoved into his internal organs. The extreme pain caused Sun Zhe to gradually lose consciousness.

Fortunately, the pain didn't last long. When it subsided, Sun Zhe forced himself to get up, shifted into a cross-legged position, and began to examine the changes within his body. He could now clearly feel that the fiery aura had integrated into his Nascent Soul. However, it hadn't brought him much True Qi, so his cultivation hadn't increased at all.

What the hell? Am I haunted or something? Why is this different from what that alluring deadpan woman said? That Red Snake had at least five hundred years of cultivation, so how come absorbing its Inner Core yielded no progress? I got more True Qi from sleeping with her disciple once!

For a moment, Sun Zhe scratched his head and rubbed his brow, completely baffled.

As he was pondering, a sudden wave of dizziness washed over him, and his eyes closed as he collapsed.

「An unknown amount of time passed.」

When Sun Zhe groggily awoke, he was startled to find himself floating in the room.

He looked down and was utterly floored. Holy shit! Lying quietly and motionlessly on the wooden bed was another Sun Zhe!

Holy crap, what is going on here? Did that Inner Core kill me? Am I a ghost now?

Panicked, Sun Zhe frantically waved his arms, trying to float down and re-enter his body. But after trying for a long time, his "ghost" still couldn't return to his physical body.

It's over... What do I do now? I don't want to die yet.

"Mmm… softer."

Just then, a soft, enchanting moan reached his ears. Though faint, it was incredibly clear, as if whispered right next to him.

He instantly recognized the moan as Su Ai's, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of curiosity.

Who's Su Ai doing it with in the middle of the night?

The thought of the sweet, innocent Su Ai pressed underneath another man made Sun Zhe suddenly feel a sense of discomfort as his masculine possessiveness began to flare up.

He glanced at his own physical body on the bed, his expression growing complex.

Since I can't get back into my body right now, I might as well wander around. Maybe I'll find another solution. At worst, I can get someone to help check if I'm really dead.

With this in mind, Sun Zhe began to paddle with his hands, as if swimming through water, slowly floating toward the direction of the sound.
