246: The shock is over!

Cultivate; it cannot stop.

Ten hours later.

With the enhancement of his Fifth Dimension Attribute, Shen Bei gradually sensed the Yin and Yang Qi described in the Martial Skill.

He inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly, each breath seemingly drawing in the most subtle energies of the Universe—the circulation of Yin and Yang Qi.

Shen Bei could perceive a cold Yin Qi, like the chill of a mountain spring, quietly rising from his Dantian, akin to the clear moonlight of winter, freezing every cell of his body.

At the same time, a Yang Qi as fiery as the scorching sun was also quietly accumulating at the base of his spine, like the intense heat of the sun.

Truly, it was like a dual experience of ice and fire.

If these two types of Qi were applied to a certain part, all the technicians at the club would be out of a job.

Shen Bei shook off the random thoughts in his mind.

He focused on experiencing the interaction and fusion of these two forces, sometimes as gentle as a spring breeze, other times as turbulent as a raging tide.

Shen Bei tried to find that subtle balance point, allowing the Yin and Yang Qi to form a dynamic equilibrium within his body, like the black and white fish in a Taiji diagram, chasing and depending on each other.

With each deepening breath, his heart became calmer, yet this calmness contained a vibrant vitality, as if spring seeds were quietly sprouting in the soil, waiting for the moment to break through.

Shen Bei continuously adjusted his breathing, guiding the Yin and Yang Qi to flow smoothly through his meridians, until a Concept of “stillness giving rise to movement” emerged within his body.

This meant that in extreme quietness, infinite vitality and vigor were nurtured, which was a crucial state for the initial stage of Cultivating the Yin Yang Reversal Fist.

By this time, a day and a night had passed.

Shen Bei slowly opened his eyes.

With a crisp crackling of his bones, he slowly stood up.

“First stage, accomplished!”

Shen Bei let out a sigh of relief, walked out of the basement, and headed straight for the cafeteria.

The reason was simple… he was starving to death!

Because he hadn’t returned for many days, the food in the refrigerator had long since become unusable and was discarded by the cleaning lady.

Inside the entire villa, there was nothing to eat except for the northwest wind.

Upon arriving at the cafeteria, Shen Bei ordered his meal and chewed heartily.

His burning stomach gradually calmed down.

After eating the last grain of rice, Shen Bei let out a sigh of relief.

Then he went to the supermarket to buy some food for later.

Just as he reached the supermarket entrance, he happened to see Professor Gu Xinrou walking out, munching on instant noodles.

“Perfect, let’s go, let’s go, we’re going to witness a miracle.”

Professor Gu Xinrou’s eyes were a bit dark, and she greeted him.

Shen Bei tilted his head: “What’s up?”

“From the time you left until now, I haven’t rested; I’ve been researching your Medicinal Pill, and I’ve made progress.”

Shen Bei’s eyes widened: “That fast?”

“Your matters are always my priority.” Professor Gu Xinrou said with a smile.

Shen Bei sniffed: “Shouldn’t I be touched to show respect for your hard work?”

Professor Gu Xinrou pointed to her own eyes: “Just compensate me with some eye cream; it doesn’t have to be expensive, I just happened to find one I like.”

Professor Gu Xinrou opened her phone, pointing to the purchase interface: “Here, it’s only 180,000 per bottle, I’ve sent you the payment link.”

Shen Bei’s mouth twitched.

Damn it.

180,000 a bottle isn’t expensive?

Is that Zimbabwean dollars?

Shen Bei composed himself, then slowly stated: “I have always firmly believed that unadorned, natural beauty is the most pleasing and deeply touching aesthetic form in the world.”

Upon hearing this, Professor Gu Xinrou’s delicate brows furrowed slightly, and a sly smile flickered in her eyes. She gently put her hands on her hips, her words carrying a hint of teasing and chiding: “Oh my, you’re beating around the bush, aren’t you just saying it’s expensive? Why be so mysterious?”

Shen Bei, however, raised a roguish smile, his words revealing confidence and a devil-may-care attitude: “Not at all, I merely wish to make the conversation more culturally profound. After all, a person with a rich inner world naturally exudes elegance.”

His thick-skinned response clearly showed his satisfaction with his own teasing.

“Hmph!”

Professor Gu Xinrou rolled her eyes and waved her hand: “No more useless chatter, let’s go, follow me to the lab.”

The lab wasn’t far.

It was in the southeast corner of the Martial Arts University campus.

This building was usually quite lively.

There was a course in the second year of university.

That was dissecting the corpses of Vicious Beasts.

The purpose was to allow students to get close to Vicious Beasts, understand Vicious Beasts, and dissect Vicious Beasts.

And during this process.

Students could learn the vulnerable points of various parts of Vicious Beasts.

It had certain benefits for going down into the Dungeon.

Of course, most of the Vicious Beasts transported to the Martial Arts University were corpses.

Each corpse was purchased from the Dungeon, directly frozen, and sent to various Martial Arts Universities for use.

This course did not have a fixed schedule.

As long as a Vicious Beast corpse was delivered, the class would start immediately.

Moreover, this course had another important purpose, which was how to quickly dissect Vicious Beast corpses and obtain the most useful and valuable organs.

Not all organs on a Vicious Beast were valuable; some were just trash that no merchant would even take for free.

Therefore, this dissection class was very necessary.

At the same time, in the Dungeon, the meat of some Vicious Beasts was edible and quite delicious.

There were also many hotels in the country that operated with such ingredients.

Typically, where there was a Permanent Dungeon, there were many such hotels.

Then there were economically developed cities, such as provincial capitals and coastal first-tier cities, which also had them.

It’s just that the shipping costs were a bit higher.

Lingnan City, as the end of the Universe… did not have such hotels.

They could afford to open them, but the residents might not be able to afford the consumption…

After entering the building.

There were still quite a few students inside.

Shen Bei had never taken such a class.

As a quick-hitting whirlwind, he didn’t need to understand the weaknesses of Vicious Beasts; he just crushed them directly.

Can’t beat them?

Then why bother researching weaknesses, just run away.

Just at this moment.

Shen Bei suddenly saw Jian Tong rush out of a classroom, run to the restroom, and lean against the wall, dry heaving.

Shen Bei’s mouth opened wide.

No way…

No way…

Did she get pregnant?

Shen Bei waited in the restroom for a while before he saw Jian Tong pour mouthwash into her mouth and walk out.

Shen Bei darted forward and asked in a low voice: “That fast?”

Jian Tong was stunned: “What?”

“Are you pregnant?”

“Huh?”

“You’re dry heaving.”

Jian Tong: …

“Get lost!”

Jian Tong rolled her eyes: “Don’t you understand basic physiology? I was in a dissection class and got nauseous.”

Shen Bei: …

Shen Bei clicked his tongue, thinking he had accomplished one of his life goals.

“No way?” Shen Bei looked at Jian Tong with some disdain: “It’s not like you haven’t been to the Dungeon; I didn’t see you get nauseous when you were killing people.”

Jian Tong waved her hand: “That’s different. Why don’t you go in and take a look?”

Shen Bei uttered an “uh” and shook his head: “Forget it, I still have to go upstairs with Teacher Professor Gu Xinrou.”

As soon as his voice fell.

From that classroom, many students suddenly rushed out, screaming and running into the restroom, vomiting non-stop.

In this building, the place students went to the most was the restroom.

They all vomited because they couldn’t stand the bloody and strange smell of the dissection class.

Shen Bei paused at the classroom door, peering inside with slight hesitation.

In an instant, a chill shot from his feet to his head, making him shiver involuntarily.

Only one phrase could describe the scene before him: it had long since surpassed the normal confines of a classroom, transforming into a horrifying, Hell-like existence.

Inside the classroom, the dismembered corpses of Vicious Beasts lay scattered, various organs strewn across the floor, like a shocking jigsaw puzzle of death.

Blood-red muscle fibers, gleaming bone fragments, and even rare emerald-green internal organ tissues were peeled from the corpses, each painting a gruesome picture on the floor.

This sight was undoubtedly a powerful assault on the senses, making one wonder if they had stumbled into some forbidden place.

At this moment, inside the classroom, a student stood calmly watching the teacher use an electric saw to cut the Vicious Beast’s corpse.

It was none other than Qi Chuanyu.

Shen Bei rolled his eyes, not because this guy was so tough.

But because he was wearing an eye mask, with eyes drawn on it, making it seem like he was listening attentively to the lecture.

“Running won’t help; everyone will clean up later.”

The teacher laughed heartily, shouting loudly.

Shen Bei took off running, chasing Professor Gu Xinrou upstairs.

They arrived at a room on the second floor.

Inside were various pieces of equipment that Shen Bei didn’t understand.

And also white mice for experiments.

Professor Gu Xinrou clapped her hands briskly, announcing: “After precise analysis, the herbal ingredients in this Medicinal Pill’s formula contain at least five unique medicinal materials that have never been seen before.”

“And the remaining known herbal parts, although recorded in the database, are also extremely rare varieties.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Bei couldn’t help but gasp, an uncontrollable excitement surging within him.

Professor Gu Xinrou’s explanation was tantamount to pointing out that the value carried by this Medicinal Pill might far exceed ordinary people’s imagination.

The rarity of herbs often directly determined the grade and value of a Medicinal Pill.

The preciousness of Medicinal Pills made from rare herbs that are found nowhere else in the world was self-evident.

“There’s no need to elaborate on the specific ingredients of the Medicinal Pill; I assume you’re not particularly interested in that.”

Professor Gu Xinrou’s words were concise and to the point. A sly glint flickered in her eyes as she said, “How about I show you an interesting phenomenon instead.”

She took a lively and adorable white mouse from a nearby experimental cage, and with a gentle flick of her finger, an internal force, like lightning, precisely and swiftly struck the white mouse’s body. In an instant, the white mouse’s internal organs suffered severe damage, and it immediately fell into a dying state.

Afterward, Professor Gu Xinrou took a small amount of powdered medicine from a medicine box and, using a clean test tube, accurately delivered the powder into the white mouse’s mouth.

Upon seeing this, Shen Bei’s eyes widened, revealing confusion and bewilderment: “You’re not going to tell me that this white mouse can come back from the dead, are you?”

As soon as his voice fell, a miraculous scene unfolded.

The white mouse, which had seemingly lost all signs of life, stirred at that very moment. It began to twist its body, rapidly recovering its vitality, as if its recent death had been nothing but an illusion.

The white mouse actively hopped around, emitting a few crisp squeaks, and even curiously extended its nose to sniff the surrounding air.

“Oh, wow!!”

This incredible scene brought immense shock to Shen Bei, leaving him completely stunned!
