472: Chapter 116 Zhang Chulan is seriously injured and unconscious

Where should he go next, and what should he do?

As these thoughts surfaced, the pure and elegant image of a girl in a white dress with pink hair appeared in Zhang Lingyu's mind.

His heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly shook his head to cast the thought aside, turning his mind instead to the words his Master, Zhang Zhiwei, had said when sending him down the mountain.

"Didn't you say your troubles stem from the chaos of the Quanxing assault on the mountain?"

"To overcome such obstacles, secluded meditation on this mountain is of little use; you must go down, see, experience, and face it head-on."

"Only then can the problem be thoroughly resolved."

Quanxing, chaos, see, experience, face it head-on.

Zhang Lingyu pondered these keywords repeatedly, and after a long while, he made up his mind—go to Everywhere Connect in Lu Bei and find Zhang Chulan!

Everywhere Connect frequently dealt with the scoundrels of Quanxing.

Zhang Chulan, possessing the Qi Source Flow, was a source of chaos himself.

As long as he stayed by his side, there would be more opportunities to see, experience, and face it.

As for the fact that Everywhere Connect was also convenient for gathering information, he subconsciously ignored it.

He was descending the mountain for experience on his Master's orders, not to look for certain people.

But then again, if he happened to hear news and happened to run into certain people, that would be another matter entirely...

With his mind made up, Zhang Lingyu began to consider how to earn money.

Although he had left Longhu Mountain, due to a lack of travel funds, he hadn't even been able to leave Shenqian Temple yet.

The headquarters of Everywhere Connect in Lu Bei District was located in Jinmen.

If he wanted to go, he had to earn money for a ticket.

Having set his goal, Zhang Lingyu finally fell into a peaceful sleep.

The next day, he did not set up his fortune-telling stall.

Because after several days of trying, Zhang Lingyu found that his attainments in this field were too shallow.

Furthermore, in this trade, having real skill wasn't important; what mattered was having a silver tongue and the ability to lie through one's teeth without blushing, otherwise one would starve. These were two qualities he lacked and could not Master in a short time.

Therefore, Zhang Lingyu planned to change his strategy and find an ordinary job that could provide money quickly.

After some inquiries, he prepared to find some day-labor work.

Ultimately, by working several jobs a day, Zhang Lingyu saved up some money and successfully set off for Jinmen.

When he arrived at the Lu Bei District headquarters of Everywhere Connect, however, he learned that Zhang Chulan had gone out on a mission.

With no other choice, Zhang Lingyu had to take his leave.

As he reached the entrance, he finally couldn't suppress the impulse in his heart. He turned and asked Xu San, who had received him, "I heard that someone recently defeated Ding Shanan, one of the two magnates. I wonder if you, Mr. Xu San, know that person's name?"

Hearing this, Xu San blanked for a moment, then asked in confusion, "This matter has spread throughout the circle; you didn't know, Immortal Master Lingyu?"

Zhang Lingyu shook his head. "I've been traveling alone since descending the mountain and haven't officially contacted other extraordinary people yet. I only heard about it by chance and don't know the specifics."

It was true that stepping into The Realm of Extraordinary People made it easier to encounter others, but it wasn't something that happened randomly, especially in places crowded with ordinary people.

To save money these past few days, he had been moving among the laboring masses and hadn't met a single extraordinary person.

Hearing this, Xu San didn't think much of it and said directly, "His name is Meng Li, he's a doctor..."

Halfway through his sentence, his phone rang.

Xu San pulled it out and saw it was Feng Baobao calling, so he quickly answered, "Baobao, what's wrong?"

A second later, his expression changed drastically, and he cried out, "Zhang Chulan is critically injured and unconscious?!"

Hearing this, Zhang Lingyu's face filled with alarm.

Zhang Chulan critically injured and unconscious?!

...

Not long after, Meng Li also learned of the news and rushed to the Xu family villa with Chen Duo and Xia He.

Then, he unexpectedly saw Lu Linglong and Lu Lin, whom he had met in the mountains a few days ago, as well as Zhang Lingyu.

Lu Linglong and Lu Lin were also injured, but not severely.

When Zhang Lingyu and Xia He saw each other, both of their expressions froze.

Meng Li noticed but didn't pay it any mind, instead going straight to the point with Xu San and Xu Si: "What's the situation with Zhang Chulan?"

Xu San replied briefly, "The external injuries have been treated, and there's no major issue. But he's unconscious; we suspect it's related to internal injuries. Others are helpless with this, so we had to ask you to come over and take a look."

As they spoke, several people entered Zhang Chulan's room.

Meng Li took a cursory glance; the situation was much as Xu San had described.

So, he turned to Chen Duo and said, "Check him and see what the situation is."

"Okay."

Chen Duo agreed, reached out to take Zhang Chulan's pulse, and mobilized a wisp of Qi into his body to investigate.

After a short while, she frowned and said, "The situation is a bit strange."

"How is it strange?" Meng Li asked.

Chen Duo replied, "The injuries in his body are mainly severe damage to the meridians, which are close to collapsing. It should be caused by continuously overloading his Qi to use his abilities. This will be a bit troublesome to treat, but with the Pulse-Repairing Gu, it can be cured."

"But his current condition defies common sense."

"Generally speaking, life and spirit are one. For someone with a weak spirit, it's hard for the Physical Body to be healthy. Conversely, if the Physical Body is exhausted, it's impossible for the spirit to be full. Yet his current state is an exhausted Physical Body, and while his spirit is resting, it is full of vitality, just like..."

As she spoke, she raised her hand to place it on Zhang Chulan's forehead to further examine his spiritual state, but she quickly withdrew her hand in an instant.

Almost simultaneously, the unconscious Zhang Chulan suddenly sat up and reached out, grabbing Chen Duo's wrist.

Instantly, the Qi on Chen Duo's hand dissipated.

Chen Duo subconsciously applied force to shake him off, while pulling back and retreating.

"What's wrong? Doctor Chen," Xu San asked.

Before Chen Duo could answer, Meng Li spoke first: "Chen Duo just used the technique I taught her to probe Zhang Chulan's spiritual state with Qi, and her technique was broken by Zhang Chulan."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Chulan, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

Because at this moment, Zhang Chulan had sat up cross-legged, his head lowered, with a faint light emanating from his eyes and mouth.

Xu Si didn't notice Zhang Chulan's abnormality. Hearing Meng Li's words, he couldn't help but shout at Zhang Chulan, "Zhang Chulan, what are you doing? Doctor Chen is trying to save you!"

Seeing this, Meng Li reminded him, "Those words are useless, because the one controlling this body right now isn't Zhang Chulan himself."

Chen Duo also said, "That's right. Although it was only for a moment, I did perceive just now that there are two consciousnesses in this body. The weaker one is more compatible with this body and should be Zhang Chulan's own Soul."

"As for the consciousness currently in control of the body, I'm not sure what it is."

At that moment, Zhang Chulan opened his eyes and looked up.

Seeing the light in his eyes, Lu Lin immediately cried out, "He opened his eyes, it appeared, it's the Divine Spirit!"

As soon as the words fell, Meng Li flashed in front of Zhang Chulan and knocked him unconscious with a hand-chop...
