Where's my golden core? Did you think I removed a kidney stone?

The moment the warm current exploded, Su Ye froze.

It was that same cleansing sensation from the inside out, as if an extremely pure power was washing over his flesh, fascia, bones, and even the smallest corners of his skin, again and again, along the spiritual energy meridian that had begun to take shape within him.

Gurgle.

Between his chest and abdomen, it felt as if water was swirling and rolling.

The next moment, the pores opened.

A layer of fine, grayish-black grime, mixed with sweat, quickly seeped from the skin's surface. It didn't smell strong, but it carried an indescribable foul odor, as if the impurities accumulated in the body during this period of cultivation had finally been forcibly expelled by this round of spiritual energy.

Su Ye looked down at his arm.

Sweat dripped down his elbows, and a thin layer of dark gray floated on the surface of his skin. When he gently wiped it with his fingertips, a smooth, almost jade-like texture was revealed underneath.

Marrow cleansing.

This time, it was even more obvious than last time.

More thorough.

It is also more domineering.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Su Ye rushed into the bathroom first.

Warm water poured down from above, carrying away the grime that had been washed away and flowing into the sewer. Su Ye stood in the water, his eyes closed, letting the rushing water drown out his breathing, until the stale air on his body was completely washed away. Only then did he slowly raise his head and wipe the water from his face.

A layer of white mist covered the mirror.

Su Ye reached out and wiped it.

The person in the mirror startled him slightly.

Her skin was as smooth as jade.

It's not just a simple whiteness, but a texture that subtly gleams with a warm luster under the light, like fine white jade that has been meticulously polished. It's delicate, compact, and clean, without the slightest flaw. The already handsome features appear even more upright and three-dimensional because of this inner and outer vitality.

Bright eyes, a straight nose, and well-defined lips.

It's as if her entire demeanor has been elevated.

If Su Ye was merely handsome and pleasing to the eye before, he is now the kind of person who truly catches the eye at first glance—ethereal, clean-cut, and even subtly possessing an edge that transcends the mundane.

Su Ye looked at himself in the mirror, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly smiled.

This cultivation practice has at least improved my appearance.

However, he quickly dismissed those irrelevant thoughts.

She's in such great shape.

It was so good that it made him a little restless.

Su Ye changed his clothes, pushed open the door, and went out.

A cool, clean night breeze swept over him, carrying the unique quiet scent of the city at night. Su Ye walked down to the open space and first slowly stretched his shoulders, neck, and wrists before suddenly stomping his foot.

boom!

He was instantly propelled forward.

His figure left an extremely fast trail in the night. The ground sank slightly under his foot, and even cracked a few shallow cracks in the concrete. Su Ye himself was startled by the sudden burst of power, but he regained control of his body in the next moment and swept across the night wind like an agile cheetah, covering the distance of several dozen meters in the blink of an eye.

He stopped and looked back at the ground he had come from, his eyes slightly brightening.

Then, pull your right fist back.

The fascia tightens, the muscles contract, and the heart pounds heavily in the chest cavity.

A punch was thrown!

The fist pierced the air.

A muffled thunderous explosion suddenly erupted in the air, as if a deep roar of thunder rolled out from under his fist, shaking the nearby leaves.

Su Ye slowly withdrew his fist, the light in his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

His power has now reached a level that was previously unattainable.

The entire body seemed to have undergone a complete reconstruction.

He closed his eyes and carefully felt the rhythm of his own heart.

Under normal circumstances, his heart rate has now stabilized at 280 beats per minute.

Once the burst of power is unleashed, the heartbeat at that instant can be pushed up to 520 times per minute.

This number, if applied to a normal person's body, would be enough to kill them ten times over.

But for Su Ye now, this is only part of the "tactics".

"pity."

"I wonder what level my current strength would be considered in the current situation."

He slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

However, in any case, he is more confident now than before.

Secondary marrow cleansing.

In excellent condition.

"Perhaps we no longer need to be as cautious as before?"

"Better safe than sorry!"

……

the next day.

Su Ye got up very early.

Because I have something important to do today.

His parents have always lived in the countryside. He also has a younger brother named Su Chen. Today is the day Su Chen comes to Jiangcheng to report for duty.

It's not easy for a family to support a medical student, but Su Chen, having been influenced by his family since childhood, ended up following the same path as Su Ye and enrolling in medical school.

Su Ye arrived at the station early in the morning.

The crowds were dense, the train whistles were blaring, and the air was filled with the unique mixed smell of the high-speed rail station. Su Ye stood in the crowd, looking at the exit in the distance. Not long after, a young man carrying a backpack and dragging a suitcase walked out quickly.

Her eyebrows and eyes bear some resemblance to Su Ye's.

Su Ye was just a bit sharper; he had a gentle, warm quality, while his younger brother was sharp and outspoken.

Su Chen spotted Su Ye at a glance, his eyes lit up, and he rushed over, dragging his suitcase.

"Big brother!"

Su Ye smiled and took the suitcase from his hand.

"Slow down, what's the rush?"

"You really came? I thought you were going to work."

"I took half a day off today."

Su Chen chuckled and followed Su Ye, his eyes full of excitement.

……

That day, Su Ye barely saved any money.

I took my younger brother on a tour of Jiangcheng.

First, we went to the school to register, complete the formalities, and collect our belongings. Then we went to see the dormitory, the cafeteria, and the teaching building. At noon, I treated him to hot pot. In the afternoon, I took him to the mall to buy some daily necessities, such as a backpack, a water bottle, slippers, bed sheets and blankets, and even two extra pairs of new shoes.

After all, he was the child I raised from a young age.

Su Ye is usually reluctant to spend money on himself, but when it comes to Su Chen, it's a completely different story.

Su Chen was quite happy the whole way, saying "That's enough, that's enough," but he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.

But Su Ye was secretly calculating in his mind.

My monthly salary is so low.

In addition, his appetite has increased recently, and his expenses are already much more frightening than before. After a day of this, his money is clearly almost gone.

The next two weeks are probably going to be tough.

Thinking about this, Su Ye felt a little toothache.

But seeing Su Chen taking photos excitedly at the university gate, it felt worth it.

Money, you know.

I can earn more.

My younger brother is coming to Jiangcheng for the first time, so we can't be shabby.

By the time they dropped Su Chen off at school, it was almost dark.

Su Chen, carrying his newly bought bag, stood at the school gate and waved to Su Ye, his smile still carrying the sharpness and ambition of a young man.

Su Ye watched him walk away before turning and leaving.

……

In the dormitory.

Su Chen greeted his roommate briefly, and after getting to know each other, he quickly made his bed. The two-person room was quite nice, much better than he had imagined at home.

Once everything was settled, the dormitory quieted down.

Su Chen walked out of the dormitory and came to an empty electrician's room, his gaze gradually darkening.

next moment.

His breathing suddenly became heavy.

The movements were very light and steady.

If there were other people around, they might even think it was just a normal deep breath.

But with each breath, a faint, extremely sharp golden light appeared deep within Su Chen's lungs.

The light was very faint.

It was extremely cold.

Su Chen slowly opened his eyes.

His gaze was brighter and sharper than before.

"Changes are still ongoing."

He muttered to himself, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Jiangcheng is a place where I can truly put my skills to use."
