My bathroom leads to the celestial realm.

Rental housing.

Following an online tutorial, Xu Yan set the multimeter to the voltage setting, rubbed his hands together expectantly, and was about to take a measurement when He Tiannan pounced on him like a ghost: "What's this for?"

The renowned writer Xu was startled and casually remarked, "A little gadget for testing spiritual energy."

"This?" He Tiannan was very skeptical. "What can such a tiny thing detect?"

Xu Yan didn't explain. Holding a probe in one hand, he released his true energy to the minimum. The number on the LCD screen immediately jumped to 3.2, and the digits after the decimal point kept changing, indicating that the output was not stable.

He Tiannan was a little surprised. Could it really be detected?

Xu Yan frowned. He was a bit of a perfectionist and tried his best to stabilize the output of his true energy, wanting to keep the numbers stable. But after trying, he realized it wasn't that easy.

After several attempts, I could only stabilize the fluctuations within 0.7 volts.

As the true energy output is increased, the voltage rises sharply, eventually settling at around 320 volts.

It is higher than residential electricity but lower than industrial electricity.

Not high, but enough to be fatal!

Feeling that simply measuring the release of true energy wasn't very useful, Xu Yan put down the multimeter's pointer, flicked his finger, and a thunderbolt hit the pointer with a soft snap, and a wisp of green smoke rose from the multimeter.

He Tiannan was somewhat surprised: "What's wrong?"

Xu Yan sighed, "You're right, this little thing really can't detect anything!"

He habitually let his imagination run wild, no longer considering his own discharge capacity, but whether he could directly use mains power to replenish his true essence, and indirectly or even directly charge the light gate!

There is no spiritual energy in the world. If we could achieve the conversion between electricity and true essence, we would be rich!

However, self-discharge and external current are completely different things. He searched through Lei Diao's memories but couldn't find any similar experiences. Moreover, every time there was a thunderstorm, Lei Diao would carefully hide and never expose itself to the thunderstorm!

This speaks volumes.

However, since Lei Diao lacked the necessary equipment, he could start by trying low voltage and weak current...

Furthermore, if one's cultivation level continues to improve, will the voltage or current released also increase accordingly?

Oops, I was careless. I'll have to buy another multimeter tomorrow!

Unfortunately, he didn't know anyone in the power system, otherwise things would have been much easier!

There was a knock on the door, and my phone popped up with a notification—the food delivery had arrived!

As soon as the door opened, several takeout orders were handed over. Xu Yan greeted them warmly, "Come, come, Mr. He, let me treat you to a good meal!"

Before long, a table was filled with steak, fried chicken, barbecue, and ice-cold beer.

The two, one old and one young, sat facing each other across the table. Xu Yan opened a can of beer: "Senior, let's have a drink!"

After saying that, he tilted his head back and gulped down half a bottle. After finishing the drink, he let out a burp, exhaled a long breath, picked up a skewer of grilled meat, and began to eat heartily.

Now that he has money, he can eat and drink whatever he wants.

However, Xu Yan had never eaten anything too good since childhood, and he was used to being frugal. Even if he had some money in his pocket, he didn't want to eat anything too expensive.

He can't enjoy things like sea cucumber, lobster, and abalone!

Xu Yan ate heartily, but He Tiannan was very restrained. He only took a small sip of beer before almost spitting it all out.

He looked at Xu Yan with astonishment: "What is this thing?"

Xu Yan laughed heartily and immediately handed over a bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor).

He Tiannan took a small sip with some skepticism, then his eyes lit up: "Excellent! Excellent wine! Although it can't compare to the divine brews of various families, it's still a rare find!"

"Not bad, right!" Xu Yan chuckled. "Let's try these!"

He Tiannan tried the fried chicken and ate some steak, nodding and saying, "The taste is a bit strange, but it's not bad!"

The two clinked glasses and wolfed down their food, exchanging a few casual words. Then, He Tiannan changed the subject, seemingly unintentionally asking about cars, motorcycles, airplanes, and various other technological products he had never heard of or seen before.

Xu Yan would try to answer by using his spiritual practice as a method, and he would try to gloss over the parts that could be explained away.

He Tiannan only half understood what he was hearing, and was completely confused, but he gradually realized how huge the differences were between the two worlds.

It's not just a superficial difference; they're fundamentally different!

He suddenly asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

Xu Yan's eyes flickered: "What other plans could I have? Of course, I'll cultivate diligently, first to Foundation Establishment, then to Golden Core, and break through to a higher realm as soon as possible!"

He Tiannan nodded, then asked, "So, are you still planning to go back?"

Xu Yan's heart skipped a beat: "Go back where?"

"This isn't a secluded paradise, but another world altogether, isn't it?"

Xu Yan put down the can, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "How did you figure that out?"

He Tiannan sighed softly, "At least I'm a Golden Core cultivator at the peak of the cultivation realm, so my eyes aren't blind yet."

Xu Yan smiled wryly: "It's not that I meant to hide it, it's just... sigh, it's a long story."

"It's alright, there's no need to say more." He Tiannan took a sip of Erguotou. "Traversing between two worlds is a supernatural ability that only top-level experts possess, not a skill that should be available to those at the Qi Refining Realm. Your ability is due to your own destiny."

"Thank you for your understanding, senior!" Xu Yan raised his glass in invitation, and drank it first as a sign of respect.

He Tiannan also took a sip and reminded him, "However, it's best to be careful in the future. If this weren't a world without spirits, even I might not be able to resist the urge to take your opportunity!"

Xu Yan thought to himself, "If you hadn't suddenly smashed the roof, how would I have been exposed?"

"Thank you for your mercy, senior!"

"You rascal!" He Tiannan chuckled, downing the rest of his wine in one gulp. "So, when are you going to take me home?"

"go back?"

"That's right!" He Tiannan's gaze turned to the window. "Although this place is nice, it's of no benefit to cultivation. Naturally, the sooner we go back, the better."

Everything here was new to him, and what he saw and heard constantly impacted his heart, making him realize that ordinary people could live such wonderful lives.

But the mortal world is but fleeting smoke.

For cultivators, cultivation level is the only pursuit, and they will not make wrong choices because of a momentary lapse in judgment.

Xu Yan said helplessly, "To be honest, senior, I have already checked, and it is still a bloody mess over there. I'm afraid we won't be able to go back anytime soon."

"I see!" He Tiannan scratched his head, very worried about Cheng Shouchun's safety.

After a satisfying meal, it was already late at night.

Xu Yan lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

His initial thought was simple: to escape the dangerous world of cultivation and return to the mortal realm to live a peaceful life.

With money, you can buy a house and a car, and then do some business to make more money.

But now that I think about it, I can travel between two worlds, why do I need to work so hard?

I didn't want to return to the cultivation world before because I couldn't return to the mortal world. Now that I can travel freely, it's a completely different story!

Thinking of this, Xu Yan sat up abruptly.

Fortune favors the bold, let's take the risk!
