Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Replenishing for Kidney Deficiency_1

Though Li Xuan felt quite awful as he walked out of the book collection building, he maintained an overall composure. Even though he was disappointed, it hadn’t reached the point of ceaseless worry.

This had to do with the temperament Li Xuan had developed since childhood. As mentioned before , due to a congenital heart disease, Li Xuan’s parents divorced when he was seven, and they each began their own families anew, marrying and having children .

After that, Li Xuan, feeling abandoned and reduced to an unnecessary child by his parents, led a few years of unrestrained rebellion. It wasn’t until his second year of high school that his homeroom teacher convinced him to accept that his life would always be his own, even if it might be short.

Thereafter, he buckled down and studied hard. A year later, he was admitted to a forensic medicine program and eventually became a forensic doctor at a police station, neither rich nor poor but assured a comfortable living.

These days seemed good enough, but every morning as he woke up in his single-room apartment, Li Xuan couldn’t help but ponder questions such as ‘Why am I alive?’ ‘Why did God create me, a disabled person?’ and ‘Am I unnecessary to this world?’

More than a year ago, one of his friends who studied psychology decided that he had a tendency towards disenchantment with the world.

Li Xuan merely sneered at this diagnosis as he wasn’t pessimistic or disheartened.

He was still attached to life, wanting to live each day to his fullest, filled with hope for the future. Even though he occasionally felt lonely, the simple fact that he could still breathe the world’s air made him feel extremely fortunate.

He believed that his existence must be a divine arrangement; a chance to witness the wonders of the world.

Thus, when Li Xuan realized he had crossed over into another world, his heart was filled more with excitement and expectation than panic and denial. He never once considered going back, aware that his original body was likely gone.

Li Xuan looked forward to experiencing a new environment and a new life, without any attachment to his past.

So, even upon realizing that his life here might also be very short, Li Xuan took it in stride.

Of course, he wouldn’t give up on his desire to survive just like that, but he had already accepted the possibility of dying without reactive fear. This was because the old Li Xuan had lived just the same.

However, this calm acceptance only lasted for an hour. When Li Xuan returned to Earl Chengyi’s mansion and saw the big bowl of ‘Cucumber Mutton Soup’ that Mrs. Liu, his biological mother, had lovingly prepared for him, he couldn’t stop his tears from welling up.

“Why are you crying all of a sudden? Can’t even hold out after just a few days of work? You’re too weak!” Li Yan looked at his younger brother in disbelief. He tried to pick out some bits of the cucumber from Li Xuan’s bowl, but was slapped on the hand by Mrs. Liu.

“How old are you? Still trying to steal food from your brother? This is to help your brother regain his yang-energy. Your father said he’s suffering from kidney deficiency. Besides, it’s not like you don’t have any——”

Li Yan glanced at the basin-sized ‘bowl’ in front of Li Xuan and then at the tea cup-sized soup dishes in front of himself and his father, and was left speechless.

Li Xuan didn’t feel any better after hearing this. He’d already noticed several servants trying hard to suppress their laughter.

‘Cucumber Mutton Soup’ was great for physical health and he did indeed need to replenish his yang-energy. But discussing kidney deficiency in front of so many people, that was shameful.

Mrs. Liu was oblivious. After repressing her eldest son, she looked at Li Xuan with overwhelming affection, “Xuan, why are you crying? Did someone give you a hard time at the Yamen? I’ve said before, you might as well quit that job.”

Earl Chengyi, Li Chengji, appeared clearly discontented, “Even with great grievances, one must not make a spectacle of himself. The saying goes ‘Real men do not casually shed tears’. What are you——”

Before he could finish his sentence, Mrs. Liu slapped the back of his head. She snorted derisively, “Real men do not casually shed tears? Then who was it that knelt crying in front of my room over twenty years ago?”

Li Chengji was so caught off guard by her revelation that he was lost for words, “Real men do not casually shed tears, because they haven’t been deeply saddened yet. How could you mention that incident in front of our son?”

Li Xuan and Li Yan exchanged a glance, both pricking up their ears. But Mrs. Liu didn’t continue to reveal Li Chengji’s hidden cards, she glared at Li Xuan: “Speak! Who dares to be so audacious? Is it that Jiang Hanyun? She’s defying the heavens!”

Li Xuan couldn’t help but smile wryly, “Mother, you’re thinking too much. With my capabilities, no one in Liudao Division can aggrieve me. I just got some sand in my eye, causing a bit of discomfort.”

“Really?” Mrs. Liu looked at Li Xuan in disbelief. Seeing his calm demeanor and slightly red eyes, she didn’t press further: “If it’s nothing, then it’s good, but if you are wronged, don’t bear it. Don’t think because of this incident our family can’t do anything. The deputy master of Baihu Hall in your Liudao Division was my childhood friend. He is much more capable than your father, and I heard he will soon be transferred to Nanjing.”

Li Xuan blinked in surprise, thinking that his mother had such connections? His previous incarnation’s memories didn’t contain such details.

Just as he was about to inquire further, he saw Li Chengji’s face turning cyan. Li Xuan shifted his thoughts promptly, wisely holding his tongue and instead asked about the Thunder Style legacy of their family.

“You want to simultaneously cultivate Thunder Style Zhenyuan?” Li Chengji did not understand: “Thunder is the power of ultimate Yang, if it is for the balance of Yin and Yang, Fire Style Zhenyuan would be more appropriate. Besides, our family’s Thunder Style cultivation method is incomplete.”

“But isn’t our family’s Fire Style cultivation method also incomplete? And it seems even more so.”

Li Xuan knew that his brother Li Yan was able to cultivate Fire Style only with the help of his wife’s family. However, this argument wasn’t enough to persuade Li Chengji.

“Father, the reason why I want to cultivate Thunder Element is for a reason. Today, I fought with a fourth-floor territory spell cultivator outside the city, and I froze him with a palm. Yesterday, when I was practicing Ice Style vitality, I used nine Shaoyang elixirs to neutralize the residual Cold Power in my body.”

After hearing this, both Li Chengji and Li Yan were clearly taken aback. However, after exchanging a glance, neither raised objections. They didn’t know whether what Li Xuan was saying was true or false, but they had witnessed Li Xuan freezing the lungs of Li Yan with a single palm a few days ago.

Li Chengji couldn’t help but stroke his long beard: “You have a point, your Ice Style talent is indeed astonishing, and ordinary Fire Style Zhenyuan may indeed not be able to balance it. Forget it, come to my study later. Our family has the Huandian Knife and Dongxuan Jingshenzhi, both top-grade Thunder Style secrets. But there are inadequacies in the cultivation methods, and they are quite mediocre. If you want to make up for them in the future, you’ll have to rely on the legacy of the Liudao Division.”

Li Xuan’s expression slightly brightened, he bowed in acknowledgment at the dining table: “I understand!”

The reason he wanted to cultivate Thunder Style was due to Yue Qianqian’s guidance. Only the ultimate Yang and tough Thunder Style Zhenyuan could balance the cold brought by the woman in red.

Moreover, Thunder Style is highly effective in exorcising evil spirits, it can subdue demons, slay demons, and is reputed as the premier among all styles, which can help him to eliminate the Karma of Yin in his body.

As for the cultivation method, Li Xuan didn’t take it to heart. He figured it was just like cultivating his Ice Style Zhenyuan, taking it step by step.

But as someone from the modern world, he knew about electrical currents of various intensities.

The voltage of a cell phone does not generally exceed 4.2V, a laptop voltage is between 9V and 20V, an electric car battery is 42V to 46V, 110 volts are standard for power supply in Japan, and the average current of lightning is 30,000 amps, with a maximum current reaching up to 300,000 amps. Its voltage is very high, ranging from 100 million to 1 billion volts. The power of a medium-intensity thunderstorm can reach 10 million watts, equivalent to the output power of a small nuclear power station.

Being an interest-diverse singleton, Li Xuan had watched many popular science videos and had a basic understanding of the physical properties and manifestations of current and voltage.

In addition, he also knows about positive and negative charges and static electricity.

Of course, the Thunder Style in this world isn’t as simple as just lightning, it also contains some mysterious powers that the scientific world cannot comprehend.

But Li Xuan believed that it wouldn’t be a hindrance to his cultivation of Thunder Style.

Fortunately, Li Xuan currently had access to the seventh floor of Liudao Division’s book collection building, which would be enough to make up for some of the defects in his cultivation methods.
