It's not impressive to take something apart, but it's truly remarkable if you can put it back together and make it even more practical and beautiful than before. - Lu Yuan.
In the next half hour, Lu Yuan's actions completely overturned the worldview of Xiao Chen and Little Grass.
Witnessing Lu Yuan's skillful maneuvers, Xiao Chen finally understood what Oldest Brother Liu meant by the "cleanest corpse."
Before today, whenever someone complained about stomachaches, discomfort in the heart, or indigestion, Xiao Chen had a vague idea of where those organs were located, but not a clear understanding.
However, today, in just half an hour, Lu Yuan made sure that Xiao Chen would never forget the exact position of every organ in the human body.
It was a vivid and hands-on teaching experience.
For this demonstration, Lu Yuan used a regular surgical scalpel.
The scalpel, about fifteen centimeters long, seemed to be stuck to Lu Yuan's hand as if it were an extension of his fingers.
At times, it almost seemed as if the scalpel had a mind of its own.
With a flick of Lu Yuan's fingers or a gentle press, the scalpel danced between the heart and lungs, its icy gleam tracing the blood vessels.
In less than half an hour, Lu Yuan dissected the chest cavity of the straw man with surgical precision, even removing an appendix.
Unlike his previous introspective dissections, this time Lu Yuan didn't need to ponder because the ability possessed by this particular individual was a common power enhancement.
Having dissected individuals with the same ability before, Lu Yuan didn't gain new medical knowledge, but he replicated the power-enhancing genes of this individual.
Feeling his own power replenished, Lu Yuan took a deep breath and began the process of restoration.
Midway through the process, Xiao Chen turned and found a place to vomit, while Little Grass, with red gleaming eyes, kept staring at Lu Yuan.
Indeed, Little Grass was fixated on Lu Yuan himself, not just his actions.
Evidently, this straw man was still trying to analyze why this creature before him had such a terrifying fetish.
Once everything was completed, Lu Yuan dug a hole and buried the last straw man with abilities.
Guided by Little Grass, Lu Yuan found his own car.
Since Xiao Chen and Huang Ming were both patients, Lu Yuan and Liu Yuan each drove a car, with Lu Yuan specifically assigning Little Grass to his vehicle.
As a result, Xiao Chen and Huang Ming exchanged a glance and tacitly got into Liu Yuan's car.
Meanwhile, in another part of town, an upscale armored car pulled up at the entrance of Yun City Medical College.
The armored car came to a stop in the square outside the reception hall, and a woman and two men stepped out of it.
The woman had a somewhat... provocative appearance, exuding a sense of worldliness.
She took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of narrow eyes that betrayed her cunning and shrewdness.
One of the men was the driver, nearly six and a half feet tall with a sturdy physique and well-defined muscles.
The other man carried a briefcase, looking frail and wearing wire-rimmed glasses. He appeared to be the woman's assistant.
In the medical school at this moment, there were only Little Baby and Zhang Fenglan.
Upon seeing someone approaching, Little Baby hurriedly stood at the entrance of the reception hall, waiting.
"Why would there be a child in a place like this?"
The woman's assistant spoke up, while the woman's driver vigilantly observed the surroundings, his gaze falling on Zhang Baobao, who was carrying a cartoon backpack.
Sensing the special meaning in the driver's gaze, Zhang Baobao furrowed her brows.
She turned around to look at the number dispenser behind her, then bit her little finger and looked at the three people in front, seemingly conflicted.
Her young mind couldn't comprehend whether these people were here to seek medical treatment.
"It's not surprising to see anything in a small clinic like this. Let's go and check the situation," the woman said, carrying her delicate handbag and walking towards the reception hall.
"Excuse me, little one, is the doctor here?"
The woman, who had a cold expression just a second ago, immediately put on a smile when she reached Zhang Baobao and took out a lollipop from her handbag, handing it to Little Baby.
Little Baby blinked her big eyes and asked in a sweet voice, "Has Brother Lu gone out? Are you here for a medical check-up?"
"We..."
The woman glanced at the reception hall and said, "We're not here for a medical check-up. We came to discuss some cooperation matters with the doctors at this clinic."
"Little one, do you know when the doctor will be back?"
Upon hearing that they were not here for a medical check-up, Zhang Baobao's eyes showed some disappointment, but also some inexplicable excitement.
"If you're not here for a medical check-up, then don't go inside. Just wait here," she said.
"I don't know when Brother Lu will be back."
Saying that, Zhang Baobao hopped towards the inner side of the reception hall. When she reached the number dispenser, she raised her little hand and pointed at it, saying in a sweet voice, "If you're here for a medical check-up, remember to take a number!"
The woman looked somewhat surprised at the lollipop that Zhang Baobao didn't take from her hand, nodded and smiled, "Okay, we got it!"
"Um..."
Zhang Baobao tilted her head and stared at the woman for a while before suddenly saying something inexplicable, "Sister, your hair looks really nice~"
This statement initially puzzled the woman, but then she immediately understood and laughed, "Haha! Little cutie, you're also very cute!"
Zhang Baobao didn't show any expression in response to the woman's praise. Instead, she continued to stare at the woman's hair for a while.
This made the woman feel somewhat uncomfortable, and only then did Zhang Baobao say in a sweet voice, "Sister, if your hair looks nice, it must also smell good, right?"
Suddenly, a strong sense of sympathy arose in the woman's heart.
Look at that, such an adorable child saying such things. Could it be that this small clinic doesn't even have something as basic as shampoo?
With this thought, the woman said to her driver behind her, "Long, go to the car and get my shampoo."
However, when the woman looked at Long, she noticed that her usually composed and dignified driver and bodyguard was sweating profusely.
"Long, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
The tall man, standing at nearly 1.9 meters, wiped the sweat off his forehead with a stiff smile and said, "Boss, it's a bit stuffy in here. Shall we go outside to talk?"
The woman immediately sensed something was wrong and looked around cautiously.
However, besides Zhang Baobao, she didn't see anything else.
Trusting her bodyguard, the woman didn't say a word and left the reception hall in her high heels.
But...
The woman's assistant, who had been silent all along, clearly sneered at the bodyguard's words.
As someone with special abilities, he didn't think they needed to be so cautious in this abandoned medical college clinic.
But seeing that the woman and the bodyguard had gone outside, the assistant had no choice but to follow suit.
After leaving the reception hall, the bodyguard kept walking without stopping, going hundreds of meters away.
The light rain from above kept falling on the bodyguard's head, bringing a slight coolness that eased his restless mind.
Looking at the woman, who was clearly confused, the bodyguard said seriously, "Boss, there's something wrong with that little girl!"
"She carries the aura of death!"

No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them.

Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
