Transmigrator's Guide to Conquering Another World-Chapter 489 - 452: Cui Xiaofeng’s Story

"So... our country discovered a cultivation world?"

"That's right."

"And then discovered something called Spiritual Energy? Like the concept of bringing back the dead or reanimating bones?"

"Yes."

"And now there's evidence of Spiritual Energy here too? There were actually cultivators in our own history?"

"Indeed."

On the ground.

Cui Xiaofeng looked utterly bewildered at Zhu Yuhao, muttering,

"Director Zhu, let me tell you this.

I've read a lot of books, I am the editor-in-chief of Huaxia's Wildlife Journal, don't trick this old man by hanging a few wires."

Opposite him,

Zhu Yuhao patiently smiled.

As someone who's been there, he totally understood Cui Xiaofeng's current feelings:

"Professor Cui, rest assured, I'm not lying to you.

The organization has already decided to disclose this kind of information to you, and you'll have plenty of chances to personally visit the Damo Realm and see that scene."

Upon hearing this, Cui Xiaofeng opened his mouth somewhat powerlessly.

But in the end, he didn't say anything.

His existing knowledge and trust in Zhu Yuhao were fiercely clashing at this moment.

As someone born in the 70s, Cui Xiaofeng grew up during the Jin Yong martial arts craze on the mainland.

During his years in the ivory tower, he once became obsessed with martial arts novels for a period.

Such as Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Nine Yin White Bone Claw, One Yang Finger, Evil Exorcism Swordsmanship, and so on.

Like most people, he dreamt of wandering the world with a sword, riding a white horse under the sunset with a beauty by his side.

However, as he grew older, those dreams withered along with the hair on his head. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

The last time he encountered the concept of Xianxia was not long ago, when his students were clamoring about something like 'sword flight to Iceland' and soon grew quiet, changing to something like 'Will of Seven.'

Who would have thought... that in a time when he no longer harbored dreams of martial arts and Xianxia, Zhu Yuhao would tell him that they've found a world called the Damo Realm?

And there are five to six hundred homegrown cultivators like him who can walk on air?

How could he accept that?

Looking at the incredulous Cui Xiaofeng, Zhu Yuhao appeared very calm.

When he first learned of this news, his reaction was the same; seasoned hands always show patience to newcomers.

Actually, he was being conservative, not telling Cui Xiaofeng that there in the Damo Realm, there was someone who's mastered controlling a 59 modified flight...

Then a bright idea suddenly flashed in his mind, recalling something from archival records:

"By the way, Academician Cui, I recall your lumbar vertebrae aren't in the best shape?"

Still in shock, Cui Xiaofeng subconsciously nodded:

"That's right, an old ailment of over twenty years, why?"

As a wildlife zoologist who climbs mountains and crosses rivers, Cui Xiaofeng—or rather, his entire field—having some health issues was quite common.

Sometimes in damp climates, arthritis or rheumatism would flare up.

In stifling heat, heatstroke's lingering effects could lead to further complications.

Cui Xiaofeng's lumbar issues trace back to an old injury in Gan Province over twenty years ago.

Back then, while leading a team for fieldwork, a falling rock landed on his back while camping.

The rock was small, but the impact was heavy.

So much so, that he couldn't walk, and had to be carried the entire way on a stretcher.

Due to the remoteness of the area, and with no Blue Sky Rescue Team back then, it took three days to get out of the mountains.

Though he was immediately taken to the hospital afterward,

the injury site had already developed a blood clot, leaving lingering problems to this day.

For years, Cui Xiaofeng's lower back often lacked strength; both Eastern and Western medical treatments had been tried, but results were less than ideal, to be honest.

Of course.

This was partly related to his working conditions.

Cui Xiaofeng's current rank is that of a full professor, just a step away from the title of Academician.

Unlike some superficial professors, Cui Xiaofeng is genuinely qualified to apply for the title of Academician.

He's got both the credibility and capability.

So in striving for the academician title, Cui Xiaofeng barely dared to rest in recent years.

He's been running everywhere tirelessly, scarcely any time to take a breather.

As anyone who's experienced body strain knows.

While Eastern and Western treatments may differ, post-injury rest and recovery are indispensable.

Thus.

A logical bug arose, and Cui Xiaofeng's back injury dragged on to today.

Such situations aren't rare in real life, only differing by personal identity.

Be it neck and shoulder pain, dizziness and insomnia, or morning commutes packed in the subway.

Honestly, who doesn't have hurdles they have to grit their teeth and get through?

You have no choice.

This is the adult world.

Life never pauses for you, and those who can truly live leisurely are very few.

But Zhu Yuhao wasn't thinking that deeply; he had a different plan in mind.

Without saying more, he pulled out a pill wrapped in yellow paper.

He then handed the pill to Cui Xiaofeng, saying:

"Professor Cui, why don't you try this? It's a pill from the Damo Realm, just take it orally.

Words can't compare to personal experience."

What Zhu Yuhao offered was a Wenhua Pill, considered quite cheap even at the first level, a staple among warriors.

Forget about prolonging life; its effect on promoting blood flow and dispelling stasis was remarkably evident.

This pill takes effect quickly, can be taken by ordinary people, perfectly suited to Cui Xiaofeng's current situation.

There was more work needing Cui Xiaofeng's assistance; addressing his concerns was crucial to prevent obstacles in later stages.

To be honest.

If you saw someone soaring with sword control on the street, your first thought would likely be that it's a film shoot or a prank.

If then asked to assist with some tasks, few would fully commit, instead pondering if it's a show segment, worrying sincerity might make them a fool?

Of course.

Due to social awareness, few might voice such thoughts, though 99% probably think so, affecting subsequent efficiency.

The only way to dispel such concerns was letting him personally experience extraordinary power.

On the ground.

A glance at the pill Zhu Yuhao handed over made Cui Xiaofeng hesitate, but he eventually picked it up and swallowed it.

As soon as the pill entered his mouth, it instantly turned into a cool liquid.

Even before Cui Xiaofeng could ask his assistant for water, he felt the liquid sliding slowly down his esophagus.

Has anyone tried Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa before? It's somewhat like noticeable coolness felt moving throughout the body.

The liquid first passed down the esophagus.

Then entered his stomach...

His abdomen...

Finally spreading throughout his entire body.

A few seconds later.

A very pleasant warmth suddenly spread from Cui Xiaofeng's back.

Caught off guard, this old man involuntarily straightened his chest, letting out a somewhat 'tender' grunt.

After coming to his senses, he suddenly realized something.

He placed both palms on his lower back and gently twisted his spine.

Then instantly looked up at Zhu Yuhao with joy:

"Director Zhu, my back... is healed?"
