Under One Person: My Name is Wan Jing Zhenjun
Chapter 14 The Immortal
Tai'an City, urban area.
IKEA Hotel.
After Wang Xiao and his family came down from Mount Tai, they went straight to a hotel in the city to stay. Not long after they settled in, their butler, Zhang Dequan, arrived with four tall and burly bodyguards.
Wang Weiguo, who had been quite wary, immediately relaxed when he saw his bodyguards arrive. He then waved his hand and led everyone to a restaurant for a meal.
Of course, he was the one who treated everyone to the meal, and Zhang Dequan and his group ate to their hearts' content.
At the dinner table, Wang's mother placed a piece of lobster meat that the waiter had just peeled on Wang Xiao's plate. "Xiao Xiao, do you have any plans for the future? How about we take some time to go back to Mount Tai to watch the sunrise?"
Having finally escaped, why would I go back?
Wang Xiao was inwardly amused and exasperated, but he shook his head with a smile. "Mom, what are you saying? We're already down here, why would we go back up? I plan to travel around Tai'an for a while and try some local delicacies."
"Not going?" The Queen Mother paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement. "It's good that you're not going. Climbing mountains isn't that fun anyway."
"Exactly, what's better than good food when you're hiking?" Wang Weiguo laughed and patted Wang Xiao on the shoulder. "Third son, even though your mom and I have never been to Mount Tai before, we've been to Tai'an a few times over the years and eaten at some pretty good Shandong restaurants. Tomorrow, Dad will take you to try them out. I guarantee you'll be so happy you won't want to leave!"
"Okay." Wang Xiao nodded with a smile, and casually picked up a piece of food for Wang Ye, who was eating in silence. "Little brother, try this Dongpo pork. Although it doesn't taste very authentic, it still tastes quite good."
"Thank you, brother." Wang Ye was somewhat touched. In fact, he was still a little concerned about the fact that Wang Xiao couldn't see the sunrise because of him.
Seeing that Wang Ye was still looking down and sullen, Wang Xiao didn't really know how to comfort him, so he could only raise his hand and rub his younger brother's head.
This kid usually seems indifferent to everything, but in reality, he remembers things better than anyone else; he's a real stubborn kid.
The meal that followed was not very enjoyable for anyone except the bodyguards. Although Wang Xiao appeared energetic and lively on the surface, everyone present knew his condition.
Therefore, the more indifferent Wang Xiao appeared, the deeper the thorn in their hearts became.
Wang Xiao naturally saw through everyone's thoughts, but he couldn't explain much and could only hope to find an excuse later.
His cancer is not completely cured yet, and he doesn't like opening champagne at the halfway point.
After all, he deeply understood the principle that "things are accomplished in secrecy and ruined by leaks."
After returning to the hotel after dinner, Wang Xiao lay on the bed for a while before sitting up cross-legged.
The next moment, with a thought from him, wisps of green energy from the heavens and earth converged toward him.
However, at this moment, looking at the air currents gathering around him, Wang Xiao frowned.
not right...
The largest wisp of air he was gathering was only the size of a thumb. This size looked no different from when he was in the hotel on Mount Tai, but the actual difference was worlds apart.
Because at this moment, he is not absorbing it with restraint, but rather drawing upon the wood element energy between heaven and earth on the largest scale.
However, even with the power turned up to the maximum, the gathered airflow was only about the size of a little finger...
"How could this be... When I first used my supernatural powers at Jade Emperor Peak, the energy surrounding me was at least as thick as my forearm. How could it have shrunk so much now..."
Looking at the air currents gathering around him, Wang Xiao frowned and muttered to himself, "Could it be... a regional issue?"
After much thought, Wang Xiao could only come up with this reason: his supernatural powers were at their strongest when he was at Mount Tai, but after leaving Mount Tai, although he could still use them, the effect was greatly reduced.
Although he still has no evidence for these observations, they are enough to form a conclusion based on mere speculation.
"Forget it, although it's much weaker, the Ancestral Court isn't for fighting after all, so a little less power isn't a big deal, as long as it can cure diseases." Wang Xiao sighed, not dwelling too much on the issue of the reduced airflow, since treating his own cancer was the most important thing for him right now.
Without wasting any more time, Wang Xiao directly integrated the absorbed wood element energy into himself.
Initially, the integration of the Wood element did not cause any special changes; it simply made him feel a warm, circulating sensation in his upper right abdomen.
However, as he absorbed more and more wood element energy, the excruciating pain he had experienced before returned.
In just a moment, Wang Xiao was in so much pain that his whole body trembled, but because he was somewhat prepared, he was not as badly hurt as he was last time.
This time, as his supernatural powers took effect, his body, which was sitting cross-legged on the bed, swayed, but he did not fall down in the end.
Feeling the intense pain emanating from his body, Wang Xiao, who was covered in cold sweat and had veins bulging on his forehead, gritted his teeth and endured it without uttering a word.
Finally, after about fifteen minutes, when he felt his brain was swollen as if it was about to explode, he finally stopped taking the medicine.
"call--"
After the treatment was stopped, Wang Xiao let out a heavy sigh of relief.
Currently, given his physical condition, even if he were to fully activate the Ancestral Court, he could only maintain it for about fifteen minutes at most. Any longer, and his head would feel as if it were filled with lead. His limit would be around twenty minutes.
"However, although it can only last for fifteen to twenty minutes, at this rate, if I can treat it twice a day, I can treat about seventy or eighty percent of my cancer in a month..."
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead and feeling his body, which was noticeably stronger than yesterday, Wang Xiao couldn't help but sigh, "It's just a pity that if I could have received treatment on Mount Tai, I probably wouldn't have needed a month, maybe even half a month, to fully recover..."
Of course, although he said it was a pity, Wang Xiao didn't actually feel it was a great pity.
While using supernatural powers on Mount Tai would be more appropriate and more effective, it is too close to Taoist temples such as Bixia Temple and Doumu Palace. In a place surrounded by extraordinary people, it would be too inconvenient for him to do things.
In contrast, while Yamashita's use of supernatural powers was not very efficient, at least he was in a bustling city, so even if some supernatural beings noticed something unusual about him, they wouldn't easily investigate.
Wang Xiao had a very clear idea in mind.
While it's impossible to use supernatural powers without leaving a trace when they're down on the mountain, at least it won't be as conspicuous as it is up on the mountain.
Moreover, even if he were to cultivate in the middle of a bustling city and be seen by a passing superhuman, Wang Xiao felt that he would most likely be fine, because although the number of superhumans in this world was not large compared to the total population of the entire Divine Continent, there were actually quite a few.
If any extraordinary individual were to peek at someone cultivating, the world would have descended into chaos long ago.
As for Zhang Chulan's concealment of his inner energy for over a decade in the original work, that needs to be considered separately.
After all, the main reason Zhang Chulan went into hiding was that his grandfather Zhang Huaiyi had offended too many people. If he were exposed, it would not only affect ordinary people, but also bring him a fatal disaster.
On the other hand, even if he were to reveal that he was an Outcast, at most he would just be summoned by the All-Knowing Telecom for registration...
Thinking of this, Wang Xiao suddenly paused.
He suddenly remembered a question. There was nothing to be afraid of about being taken away by the telecom operator to register, but the key was how he could explain that he had no Qi.
It's important to understand that while his situation isn't as conspicuous as the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, the key is that he's different from ordinary extraordinary individuals.
Normal superhumans, whether born that way or acquired it, use Qi when they use their abilities, but he uses his abilities as if he were borrowing magic.
Although he felt that the company wouldn't take him away for the biopsy, he knew that once exposed, he would definitely be under close scrutiny.
After all, the last one who was this special was Feng Baobao, the immortal.
