Tang Rao looked towards the door.

A strange face, um... just a nurse.

With a mask, her face was unclear, but she seemed quite young, with big eyes.

"Awakened?" The nurse, seeing Tang Rao looking at her, showed a hint of surprise on her face.

"Who brought me here?" Tang Rao asked as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Oh, a beautiful woman." The nurse said with a smile.

"Where is she?"

"She left without paying the bill, and you didn't have any identification on you. We almost called the social aid station." The nurse put down the tray in her hand and started drawing medicine into a syringe while speaking.

Tang Rao: "..."

"But you are really miraculous, your body was covered in your own blood, yet there's not a single wound on you." The nurse pursed her lips, her expression strange.

Tang Rao stretched out his hand, directly pulled out the IV needle from his arm, and then got out of bed.

"Hey, what are you... You haven't recovered yet!"

"Where have I not recovered?" Tang Rao asked.

The nurse blinked, unsure of how to respond.

When Tang Rao came to the hospital, he indeed looked horrifying, covered in blood. They initially thought he couldn't be saved, but there wasn't a single wound on his body, and all his vital signs were completely normal. Apart from not waking up, he didn't even have a cold.

So, he only slept in the hospital for one day, and all the fluids he was given were either glucose or saline.

Without further ado, Tang Rao took out his bank card from the Space Token and then went through the discharge procedures.

Still irked by Jiang Langhuan leaving him behind, Tang Rao was somewhat annoyed.

After all, I saved your life, and you just disregard me like that?

At least you could have paid the medical bills.

"Never mind, better head back to Sui City." Tang Rao rubbed his temples; he had twenty days before Zeng Yan would come looking for him.

He had to ask Zeng Yan about Lu Xiuhe's affair.

If Lu Xiuhe was indeed killed by Zeng Yan, he would probably take action.

Therefore, he must first enhance his strength.

At least, he needed to break through Foundation Establishment and enter the period of Enlightening.

His phone was trashed, so Tang Rao found a public phone booth, and after explaining to Ming Luo and Liu Shisan, he took a taxi to the airport.

Just as Tang Rao had left, a hurried figure dashed out of the hospital, looking around.

Jiang Langhuan.

At this moment, Jiang Langhuan's eyes were almost brimming with tears; she had just gone home to grab some things and upon her return was told by the nurse that Tang Rao had already been discharged.

"He must hate me to death now," Jiang Langhuan said, clutching her clothes, biting her lip.

...

After returning to Sui City, Tang Rao bought a new phone and got a new SIM card.

He had wanted to reactivate his old number, but a customer service lady sold him on a number with the last five digits being '88888'. Tang Rao thought that having so many eights suited his rich man's aura, so he went ahead with it.

After all, he remembered all the phone numbers of his contacts.

It didn't matter.

Arriving back at Ziyuan Villa, the house was empty. Bai Yushu wasn't there, nor was the girl Shangguan Ling.

After asking Mrs. Chen, he learned that his mother had taken Shangguan Ling out for fun.

Tang Rao didn't care much about it; he ate something and then locked himself in the backyard, staring blankly at the Pill Furnace.

"This won't do." Half an hour later, Tang Rao suddenly muttered.

"I'm definitely going to suffer!" Tang Rao cried out again.

Yes, although he had tens of thousands of Blood Spirit Pills, Tang Rao really didn't want to eat them anymore; it was truly torture, a torment to his little daisy.

After eating them, he ended up squatting on the toilet for hours every day. Who the hell could stand that?

"I need to figure out a way to extract the spiritual energy from the Blood Spirit Pill, and then directly absorb the spiritual energy," Tang Rao muttered to himself.

Just like the spirit bone.

That's it! The spirit bone!

Tang Rao's eyes suddenly lit up, how could he have forgotten about this thing.

Tang Rao quickly took out eight spirit bones from the Space Token, which he had obtained from the Heavenly Ladder. There were eight in total.

Obviously, after thousands of years, these bones had evolved into a special kind of Spiritual Artifact.

They could store spiritual energy.

"As long as I set up a Spirit Gathering Array, and use these spirit bones as the base. Then, if I put the Blood Spirit Pill in, the spiritual energy should be able to be extracted," Tang Rao murmured.

The only problem is, setting up a Spirit Gathering Array is not an easy task.

Tang Rao lacks the most critical thing, and that is Spirit Stones.

Substitutes could be used for other items, but Spirit Stones are a must.

But on Blue Star, where even spiritual energy is so scarce, Spirit Stones are even more out of the question.

Even across the Seventy-two Domains of the Nine Realms, Spiritual Sense is a scarce resource.

"Let's check this." Tang Rao took out a Space Token, which he had obtained from the body of Shangguan Ling.

Shangguan Ling came from the Nine-Headed King Hall, so perhaps he had Spirit Stones on him.

Since Shangguan Ling was already dead, this Space Token became ownerless property.

Tang Rao expelled a drop of his essence blood and then extended his consciousness into it.

"Holy shit, it's so huge!" Feeling the space of nearly a hundred cubic meters, Tang Rao immediately cursed in surprise.

His own Space Token only had one cubic meter; it was ridiculously small in comparison.

"Spirit Stones... Spirit Stones..." Tang Rao muttered while looking through the contents.

Shangguan Ling's possessions included quite a few good items, ranging from over twenty thousand Blood Spirit Pills to many unnamed elixir pills, all seemingly for healing or replenishing spiritual energy.

"Really have them!!!" Suddenly, Tang Rao was jolted alert.

In the center of the space, there was a huge box, from which an overwhelming and exceptionally pure spiritual energy emanated.

As an old hand in the Seventy-two Domains of the Nine Realms, Tang Rao could tell just by smelling it.

Spirit Stones, mixed with Mid-grade Spirit Stones and Low-grade Spirit Stones.

"Whoosh!" Tang Rao immediately took out the box storing the Spirit Stones and started fumbling to open it.

The moment the box was opened, the Space Token from Shangguan Ling that Tang Rao was holding trembled slightly, but Tang Rao did not notice.

His attention was now completely drawn to the Spirit Stones inside the box.

Each one was the size of a whole head; there were five in total, with four Low-grade Spirit Stones and one Mid-grade Spirit Stone.

"People of Blue Star are really extravagant," Tang Rao laughed and cursed. In the Seventy-two Domains of the Nine Realms, Spirit Stones were only the size of finger segments.

Here, the stones are the size of fists.

A whole piece like this could at least be divided into thirty pieces the size of finger segments.

Now that he had gotten his hands on the Spirit Stones, Tang Rao wasted no more words and began to set up the Spirit Gathering Array.

…

Meanwhile, in a certain place in the Yan Kingdom, within a mysterious building that covered a massive area.

In a courtyard, a man sitting cross-legged abruptly awoke, and soon, his eyes narrowed.

"The restrictions have been triggered," the man muttered faintly.

His aura became wild, becoming shockingly terrifying.

"Has it been stolen, or... has he been killed?" The middle-aged man's eyes flashed fiercely, and his body trembled slightly.

If it was just stolen, that would be manageable.

But if Shangguan Ling had been killed...

"It seems I'll have to take a trip out," the middle-aged man stood up, his robe rustling loudly.
