247: Oh no, Shen Bei is going to commit suicide?

Shen Bei had never seen any miracles in his life.

If the daily settlement panel being activated counted, then maybe.

But today, Shen Bei had to admit, he truly witnessed what a real miracle was!

The little white mouse that Professor Gu Xinrou had originally flicked to death.

Just by feeding it some Medicinal Pill dust.

It directly came back to life.

And the speed was incredibly fast, almost resurrecting in the blink of an eye!

After witnessing this scene, Shen Bei's eyes held a hint of surprise and madness within their calm.

Even a little white mouse could be resurrected.

Then there was no doubt.

Humans would be even less of a problem!

After all, whether it was humans or Stranger, the Medicinal Pills they developed were definitely meant to save lives.

It was impossible for them to be specifically developed for white mice.

Shen Bei swallowed, so excited he could barely speak.

This was a huge profit.

It was no exaggeration to say it was like turning a corner into a new village.

The books he got from raiding the landlord's house in the catacombs were all waste products.

But when he got lost while escaping and entered that dilapidated building, he obtained a Martial Skill and a Medicinal Pill that could bring people back from the dead!

Absolutely amazing!

“Truly bringing the dead back to life and healing bones,” Professor Gu Xinrou teased the little white mouse, still with a look of shock and amazement on her face: “It’s like having a second life.”

Shen Bei hissed.

He held his Medicinal Pill up to the sunlight, admiring it with a smug look: “Selling it for over a hundred million shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

“You’re really not worth much,” Professor Gu Xinrou said, also incredibly envious and a bit sour: “If you had the formula, a hundred billion wouldn’t be a problem.”

Shen Bei felt that Professor Gu Xinrou was talking nonsense; if he had the formula, would he still need her to analyze it?

Shen Bei shrugged: “When I found this thing, there was only the box and the Medicinal Pill, and—”

Mid-sentence, Shen Bei's tone suddenly stopped.

“And what?” Professor Gu Xinrou asked, blinking.

Shen Bei chuckled: “And a Martial Skill manual.”

Shen Bei casually brushed it off.

He knew there was also a key inside the box!

Shen Bei increasingly felt that this key might be the crucial element of this Medicinal Pill.

According to Professor Gu Xinrou, there were still five unknown ingredients in the Medicinal Pill.

It was very likely, extremely likely, that this key could solve the problem.

If it really was as he guessed.

Shen Bei didn't dare to think too deeply.

He would be invincible!

But a guess was just a guess; Shen Bei had no conclusive evidence of the actual situation.

And…

Even with the key in hand, he didn’t know where to insert it.

Earlier, in that dilapidated building, Shen Bei had searched meticulously and found no boxes or anything similar.

The only clue was the three-eyed beast head on the key.

When he entered the catacombs again in the future, he could start from this angle.

Shen Bei bid farewell to Professor Gu Xinrou.

He returned to the basement of his villa to continue to Cultivate.

Currently, Shen Bei had only completed the first stage of Yin Yang Reversal Fist.

Experiencing the “joy” of both ice and fire.

Of course, if it weren't for Shen Bei's Fifth Dimension Attribute's off-the-charts cold and heat resistance.

If someone else were to Cultivate this stage, regardless of the time it would take.

The combination of extreme cold and scorching fire alone would definitely make them suffer greatly.

“The joy of a worker is just this simple and unpretentious.”

Shen Bei couldn't help but feel a little proud.

If it weren't for the attributes given by the daily settlement panel, he really wouldn't have been able to withstand this first stage.

Shen Bei rolled up his sleeves and opened the Martial Skill manual: “Second stage, let’s go!”

The second stage required Shen Bei not only to master the initial circulation of Yin and Yang Qi but also to further challenge the physiological limits of the human body, experiencing and overcoming the extreme pain brought by the reversal of Yin and Yang.

Shen Bei took a deep breath and sat cross-legged in the basement.

Following the guidance of the Martial Skill, he began to Cultivate gradually.

The importance of this Martial Skill was such that Shen Bei had to Cultivate it to completion, even if he had to chew it raw.

After all, a Martial Skill that could reverse the tide of battle and produce Karma, if he didn't Cultivate it, how could he sleep?

His whole body would be itching!

Just Cultivate it!

At this moment.

The surrounding air seemed to solidify, leaving only Shen Bei's heavy and steady breathing.

Shen Bei began to try to guide the normally flowing Yin and Yang Qi within his body to circulate in reverse.

During this process, he was like controlling two completely opposite torrents, forcing them to reverse their flow in a narrow riverbed, the difficulty and pain of which could be imagined.

Shen Bei's body began to show abnormal reactions.

He felt invisible forces surging and churning in his Meridians, a knife-like sharp pain tearing at every inch of his skin, every Bloodline, from the inside out.

Shen Bei's face contorted in pain, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

Pfft…

Just as he began to reverse the Yin and Yang Qi, Shen Bei immediately spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Internal injuries!

“A bit overbearing!”

Shen Bei wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

“If I can’t pass this hurdle, I’m not worthy of being human!”

Continue to practice!

What's there to fear about spitting blood?

When Shen Bei fought in the flag-planting battle in the catacombs, he shed hundreds and thousands of times more blood than this!

It was just a drizzle!

Of course, Shen Bei also envied Qi Chuanyu, that guy, whose blood could be lost at will and then sucked back in easily.

So, after several people fainted, the first one to get up and be lively was that guy.

If Shen Bei were forced to Cultivate Qi Chuanyu's Martial Skill, he might as well Cultivate Liao Zhongyang's Charged Punch.

The wind-up was indeed severe, but it was also incredibly powerful.

It could be said that in the flag-planting battle, if it weren't for Liao Zhongyang, there would have been almost no possibility of victory.

Shen Bei said nothing and started practicing again!

Again, at the moment of Yin and Yang reversal, that pain, starting from the cellular level, attacked him. Shen Bei gritted his teeth, refusing to let out a single groan of pain.

Each Yin and Yang reversal felt like hovering on the brink of life and death, like a Phoenix undergoing Nirvana, experiencing the agonizing pain before Rebirth.

Shen Bei's muscles trembled uncontrollably in pain, and his bones groaned under the unbearable strain of the countercurrent.

Shen Bei knew that only through repeated painful trials could he truly master the essence of Yin Yang Reversal Fist.

Pfft…

Not long after.

Shen Bei again spat out fresh blood.

He always calculated blood loss in terms of eggs.

Shen Bei reached for a tissue, wiped the corner of his mouth, threw it into the trash can, and looked at the bloodstains on the ground.

He estimated that it would take about fifty eggs to replenish it.

But Shen Bei chose qi and blood pills.

This stuff works fast and doesn't make him gag.

Moreover, it was a welfare provided by the school, so why not take it?

Whoosh…

A bottle of qi and blood pills was swallowed by Shen Bei as if he were chewing candy.

Just do it!

…

Three days later.

Qi Chuanyu and others passed by Shen Bei's villa.

They saw the cleaning lady carrying out several bags of tissues.

Qi Chuanyu was extremely surprised, his eyes bursting with strong gossip: “Look! Shen Bei’s tissue consumption has been a bit high lately!”

Niu Yanben's mouth curved into a knowing smile: “Young people don’t know moderation, they’ll cry when they’re old, hehe!”

Du Ziteng gave a thumbs up: “This guy’s arm must have gotten a circle thicker, right?”

But Liao Zhongyang’s focus was clearly different from theirs; his face showed a hint of surprise: “These tissues… seem to be all blood!”

“Ah?”

Only then did Qi Chuanyu react, carefully looking at the garbage truck, and exclaimed: “What the hell is this guy doing! Why is it all blood?”

“Why are you still standing there like an idiot? He must be heartbroken and trying to commit suicide!” Du Ziteng was the first to rush into the house, anxiously calling out: “Save him!”

Niu Yanben tilted his head and trotted in: “No, no, I saw Jian Tong yesterday, and she was fine.”

Several people rushed into the villa, heading straight for the basement.

They kicked open the door.

And saw Shen Bei sitting cross-legged inside.

Circles of black and white light rotated around his hands, black and white intertwined, forming a small Yin and Yang fish pattern, symbolizing the ultimate truth of Yin and Yang mutually generating and restraining each other, and endless Reincarnation.

And those black and white halos seemed to be alive, pushing up along his arms and meeting at his forehead, crossing over.

Constantly expanding and contracting, the violent energy fluctuations caused visible ripples in the surrounding air.

“Shen Bei! Why are you doing black and white work now?”

Qi Chuanyu roared.

Pfft…

Shen Bei was Cultivating perfectly, almost completely mastering the process of Yin and Yang Qi reversal.

As a result, Qi Chuanyu's shout directly caused Shen Bei to lose his composure.

Blood splattered, and mist floated in the air, showing a horrifying pale red.

Shen Bei was a little frantic, and threw a shoe sole directly at Qi Chuanyu's face: “Get out!”

Qi Chuanyu: …

“Why are you getting angry?” Qi Chuanyu rolled his eyes: “Who knew you were Cultivating? I thought you were committing suicide for love.”

Shen Bei ground his teeth, his scalp tingling with anger: “I want to kill you.”

“Goodbye!”

Qi Chuanyu threw the shoe back and ran away.

Niu Yanben blinked: “Then we won’t bother you, hehe.”

Du Ziteng shrugged: “You use a lot of tissues, we brothers understand you, but others might misunderstand you.”

Liao Zhongyang said somewhat sourly: “You’re so diligent, you’re not fit to be my friend.”

Shen Bei: …

That night.

Shen Bei successfully guided the Yin and Yang Qi within his body to complete its first reversal.

At that moment, he felt as if he were a lone boat in a storm, allowing the surging energy within him to crash like waves.

The extreme of pain was the beginning of transformation; Shen Bei's Meridians, in the process of repeated Yin and Yang Qi reversal, seemed to be tempered repeatedly by the raging fire in a furnace.

That originally tearing pain instantly transformed into a refreshing sense of comfort.

His body, at this moment, seemed to have been Reborn; his bones stretched, his Qi and Blood flowed smoothly, and the Yin and Yang Qi circulated freely in his Meridians like flowing clouds and water, echoing each other and complementing one another.

“Second stage achieved!”

Shen Bei was somewhat invigorated.

The second stage was the most difficult stage.

Once this threshold was crossed, the last stage would be much simpler.

After a day of rest.

Shen Bei began to attempt to Breakthrough the final stage.

This stage was all about a Breakthrough.

There was nothing else to say.

After understanding the description in the Martial Skill manual.

He started practicing immediately!

One could see Yin and Yang Qi swirling around Shen Bei, like two endlessly entangled Dragons and snakes, sometimes merging and generating each other, sometimes clashing and repelling each other.

As the Breakthrough deepened, the Yin and Yang Qi within Shen Bei became more active, like boiling magma surging and churning in his Meridians.

His heartbeat and breathing seemed to align with the Yin and Yang rhythms of heaven and earth; each pulse beat stirred the circulation and collision of Yin and Yang power within his body.

At the last moment, Shen Bei’s tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, gleaming with bright light.

He took a deep breath, clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and then pushed them out sharply to both sides; a vast power of Yin and Yang instantly erupted from his body.

The Yin and Yang Qi began to fluctuate rapidly, forming a huge Yin and Yang fish pattern that rotated rapidly around him.

The space in this basement seemed to be distorted and torn.

Even the air couldn't bear the strain.

This was to conform to the natural Law, achieving true Yin and Yang mutual generation and restraint, complementing each other!

Shen Bei was delighted and stopped his movements.

“It’s done!”

“I’ve gained another Martial Skill that can attack, and a rather strange one at that!”

Shen Bei clenched his fists, his bones cracking loudly.

At this moment, Shen Bei felt terrifyingly powerful!

Just then.

His phone on the table began to vibrate.

He picked it up and saw the caller ID.

Shen Bei’s mouth twitched.

“Still up to no good…”
