Chapter 274: Rabbit is Out of Hospital

At the same time, Shen Shuibi was undergoing her final treatment.

Seven full moons hung in this cave heaven.

The water was cold, the evening waves urgent, and the trees fell, leaving the autumn mountains empty.

The Jade Dipper lay across the window, and the Milky Way illuminated the flower palace.

The True Yin Qi converged here; different True Yin moons represented different methods, and depending on the season, some were full moons, some were half moons, some were crescent moons, and there was even one in a state of complete lunar eclipse.

These seven True Yin moons formed a special array within this cave heaven, with seven vertical lines connecting to Shen Shuibi's body.

Shen Shuibi's Physical Body was being reconstructed by the seven True Yin moons.

In the first month, the essence blood condenses; in the second month, the Meridians are unified.

In the third month, the form takes shape; in the fourth month, the hair grows.

In the fifth month, the muscles and bones are complete; in the sixth month, the internal organs are fully formed.

And now, it was the seventh moon, the moon swallowed by the lunar eclipse.

In the seventh month, all spirits are fully prepared, containing spiritual reception, endowed by the harmony of Heaven, with Bloodline, form, and spirit descending into the essence.

The current Shen Shuibi looked completely different.

As the saying goes: mountains with jade make the grass and trees vibrant, and waters embracing pearls make the waves enchanting.

That is because mountains and waters naturally contain Spiritual Qi.

In the past, the Spiritual Qi in Shen Shuibi's Physical Body had long since dried up, with only a trace remaining, so although she was still extraordinarily beautiful, and more refined and elegant than many Mortal beauties, it was different in the eyes of Great Powers.

In the eyes of Great Powers, Shen Shuibi was a being capable of speech but without spirit, with form but without bone, whose Qi was not moist when observed, whose color was not bright when examined, whose limbs were dislocated, whose joints were disconnected, and whose form was thin and spirit turbid.

But now, with her injuries healed, Shen Shuibi possessed an even more… indescribable aura.

Spiritual Qi leaked out, manifesting as sound.

Her form was complete, and her Spirit Soul was whole.

Her four limbs flexed and extended, and her spirit was full.

Her graceful demeanor was serene, her radiance like autumn water.

Every step flowed with gold, and the moonlight was rich with dew.

Her appearance hadn't changed at all, but the aura she exuded was completely different.

Previously, her temperament was already quite cool and beautiful, completely surpassing a bunch of so-called 'temperamental beauties,' but now, compared to her former self, she was like the difference between clouds and mud.

That kind of suffocating pressure, exuding from within, yet without any actual oppressive force.

It wasn't oppressive force.

When you look at the full moon on a Mid-Autumn night, do you feel an oppressive force?

You don't.

But, that full moon, just by looking up at it, seems to make one lose the desire to speak, only wanting to gaze at it quietly, as if it possesses some kind of magic.

At this moment, Shen Shuibi's fingertips, eyebrows, and every inch of her skin seemed to faintly exude a special kind of pressure, making people, upon seeing her, only want to gaze quietly, without any thought of disturbing her.

It was as if she were that solitary moon in the sky, to be admired from afar, not to be profaned.

But even merely admiring from afar, like the moonlight, made it difficult for one to avert their gaze.

Her beauty flourished, radiant like a flower.

Her posture was unrestrained, gentle like jade.

Five colors intertwined, their forms inexhaustible.

When observed closely, they captivated the eye.

Like pearls dripping cold and congealed into emerald powder, and like a bright jade plate spreading light in the night.

Then, she looked up at the seven moons in the sky.

Suddenly, countless Yin and Yang hexagram lines appeared around her.

These Yin and Yang hexagram lines formed trigrams, then rotated and swirled rapidly, completing their final embedding around her body.

Immediately after, Shen Shuibi took a deep breath.

The seven True Yin moons in the sky instantly shattered.

Then, they transformed into the special product of the Southeastern Demon Clan, emperor fluid paste.

On the night of Gengshen, the moonlight contained emperor fluid paste, which appeared as countless olives, with tens of thousands of golden threads, strung together and hanging down.

When the grass and trees of the Mortal world received its Qi, they could become Yao, and when foxes, ghosts, and demons consumed it, they could manifest Divine Ability.

Shen Shuibi naturally didn't need the Yao-transforming ability of the emperor fluid paste; what she needed to extract was the 'life' of the emperor fluid paste.

The raw material of the emperor fluid paste was Moon Essence, and at this moment, shattering seven moons at once produced an enormous quantity, like water from vast lakes pouring out, falling from the sky.

Tens of thousands of flying springs, gushing and cascading downwards, tens of thousands of feet long, like white Dragons soaring down from the sky, pouring into the mountains, leaping up furiously, rolling into snowdrifts, surging past, with silver-white radiance falling from above, as if one saw the Milky Way falling from the celestial dome, connecting Heaven and Earth.

emperor fluid paste has a nature that can replenish life.

Her Physical Body was already complete, lacking only life.

Nature, unchanging and constant, is the innate quality of the Physical Body, the source of spiritual wisdom; what is called 'temperament' comes from this.

Life, the ultimate of existence, is the fundamental ability of life to be active, the source of energy.

This is the principle by which emperor fluid paste can awaken Yao creatures.

The essence of grass and spiritual fungi has life but no nature; emperor fluid paste can add nature to them.

The essence of birds, beasts, insects, and worms has short life and incomplete nature; emperor fluid paste can complete what is missing.

As long as this is done, spiritual intelligence will naturally arise, and they will naturally transform into Yao.

And now, this recast Physical Body of Shen Shuibi had neither life nor nature, relying entirely on the True Spirit of her fifth-grade status to sustain it, so it needed to be reawakened with emperor fluid paste, just like a baby gaining intelligence, to complete the final process.

Her original broken and unusable Physical Body had been discarded, and her Spirit Soul and True Spirit were now transferred into a brand new body.

This was like a car that had been in an accident; if the engine was shattered, replacing it with a new one was much easier than repairing it.

Shen Shuibi felt her Spirit Soul gradually fitting with her body.

It even suited her Spirit Soul better than her original body.

"This is... an incredible method. A brand new, custom-made body. Has the Eclectic School's methods reached this point?" Shen Shuibi exclaimed.

The physician nearby heard this and replied, "It is indeed very powerful. Before this technology appeared, severely injured people could only slowly recuperate, but now, directly replacing the body is extremely convenient."

"It's just... how did you manage to perfectly match the Spirit Soul and Physical Body? This method of creating a Physical Body and Spirit Soul that perfectly match is truly incredible," Shen Shuibi asked the physician.

Replacing a body was not a difficult task; there were countless methods of Possession, which were not uncommon.

But ultimately, it was still difficult to solve the problem of matching the body and Spirit Soul. Rarely could a Physical Body be more compatible with the Spirit Soul than the original body. This was a difficult problem limiting the methods of Possession; rejection reactions were almost impossible to solve, unless one directly reincarnated. A newborn body from reincarnation would be compatible with the Spirit Soul.

But reincarnation was a complete reset, requiring re-cultivation, and few people could make that decision.

Yet now, without reincarnation, one could obtain a perfectly compatible new body. As long as the True Spirit was intact, the Physical Body could be replaced.

This technology... if used on the battlefields of Tang Nation, how many battle-hardened but physically disabled powerhouses could return to the front lines?

Their casualty ratio would probably be much better than the enemy's.

Facing Shen Shuibi's question, the physician who was controlling the treatment process smiled: "Only those from the Eclectic School know about this; I merely use existing bodies. All right, with life infused, the final step is complete."

Shen Shuibi looked up at the sky again.

In this world, besides emperor fluid paste, there were very few Materials that could achieve the feat of infusing life.

There were some, but the cost was too high. Too few Heaven And Earth Treasure that formed naturally could achieve this.

Only the one among the Great Sage of the Demon Race called 'Emperor' created the emperor fluid paste and spread it throughout the heavens, thus popularizing this kind of treasure.

The appearance of emperor fluid paste increased the number of the demon race by tens of millions of times.

However, Shen Shuibi was still very puzzled.

Regardless, emperor fluid paste was something only the Southeastern Demon Clan possessed. How did the Human Dao obtain such a massive quantity of emperor fluid paste?

The method of creating emperor fluid paste was a secret of the Demon Dao. Besides the Demon Dao's regular dissemination, it was almost impossible for others to possess so much emperor fluid paste.

But no matter what, the Human Dao did manage to produce it.

At this moment, the secret art of the Eclectic School, the medical practitioners of the Human Dao, plus the Demon Dao's emperor fluid paste—the three combined.

Only then was Shen Shuibi's injury healed.

This showed how difficult her injury was to treat.

Just after the emperor fluid paste had finished dripping.

At this moment, a voice came from beside Shen Shuibi: "Hmm, well, now that things are done here, I'll be off!"

"Mm, thank you, Yu Zao," Shen Shuibi immediately turned her head and thanked the departing person.

If Li Qi had been there, he would certainly have exclaimed.

Because, the one who helped Shen Shuibi adjust her body was her.

Li Qi's classmate, the experimental subject of the Eclectic School, Yu Zao, as spoken of by Liu Canzhi.

For some reason, she was actually responsible for Shen Shuibi's new body.

But no one else felt that anything was amiss, allowing her to leave first, as her work was already complete.

On the other side, Shen Shuibi also thanked another physician: "Physician Bai, thank you again this time."

"It's part of my duty, no need for formalities," the woman known as Physician Bai smiled and nodded, then said, "I should actually thank you. This time, I learned a lot from you."

"Your medical skills are much better than mine," she said to Shen Shuibi with a sigh.

The truth was, Shen Shuibi herself participated in nearly half of this treatment plan, and also offered many suggestions for the other half.

Aside from the emperor fluid paste and the Eclectic School's secret methods, which she couldn't get involved in, everything else was completed by her and Physician Bai together.

"I also learned a lot. It turns out Tang Nation already has a standardized and templated medical System, which is much stronger than my wild approach," Shen Shuibi quickly said.

The other party's medical skills also had many valuable things to learn, especially the solid foundation and systematic learning, which Shen Shuibi found very impressive.

Physician Bai chuckled and shook her head: "Alright, alright, let's not flatter each other. Take a look inside yourself. If there are no problems, change your clothes and come out."

Shen Shuibi once again performed an inner examination, checking her body, confirming everything was in order, and then stood up.

At this moment, the emperor fluid paste in the sky had been completely absorbed.

The brand new body perfectly accommodated the Spirit Soul.

Shen Shuibi's Human Body Small Universe was complete.

Then, she changed her clothes and stepped out of the cave heaven.

After completing the procedures and bidding farewell to the physicians who had cared for her, Shen Shuibi walked out of the Medical Clinic.

At the same time, Li Qi was already sitting at the entrance of the Medical Clinic, quietly waiting.

When Shen Shuibi walked out, Li Qi stood up simultaneously.

The two quickened their pace and walked together, but neither spoke.

Both their expressions seemed a little... cautious.

This attitude was truly a bit strange.

Instead, it was Shen Shuibi, after about half a minute of silence, who suddenly spoke, asking cautiously as she had in the past: "You... aren't afraid of me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qi suddenly relaxed: "I was worried you'd dislike me~."

The two looked at each other and smiled, their previous awkwardness completely gone.

Clearly, both had thought the same thing.

A vast difference in cultivation might create some kind of barrier.

But now, it seemed there was none.

Li Qi naturally reached out, handed her the juice he had just bought, and then smoothly took her other hand, and the two left the place together.

Walking on the streets of Chang'an, it was as calm and peaceful as ever.

The two strolled along, chatting about many things, such as what had happened in these past few days.

Li Qi spoke of his attendance at the banquet, while Shen Shuibi recounted events during her treatment.

Soon, their conversation turned to each other.

Li Qi asked first: "You... have a special aura about you. Is this a characteristic of a fifth-grade practitioner?"

He was brazenly using True Knowledge Dao Resonance to scan Shen Shuibi's body, feeling every difference from before.

If it were any other fifth-grade practitioner, Li Qi should have already been thrown out and beaten to death.

Fortunately, the object was Shen Shuibi. Although she felt some discomfort from being constantly scanned, she endured it.

Looking wouldn't make her lose a piece of flesh.

Besides... everything that should be seen had already been seen.

"It should be the lingering aura of the emperor fluid paste, right? This body of mine was originally an inanimate object; it came to life by relying on the emperor fluid paste to awaken its nature and life," Shen Shuibi looked at her hand, sipping juice, and replied.

"emperor fluid paste? Can you even get something like that? Isn't that a legendary Heaven And Earth Treasure?" Li Qi was a little surprised.

Shen Shuibi naturally replied: "It's not that rare, actually. Although the production process of emperor fluid paste is unknown, the output is quite large. Unfortunately, only the demon race can produce it, and the demon race generally produces and uses it on the spot, so it's rarely seen elsewhere."

"The Human Dao having such a large reserve of emperor fluid paste, to be honest, I find it quite strange too, but they must have their own methods. Speaking of which... Li Qi, you've changed quite a bit too."

"I thought it had only been seven days, and Li Qi, you wouldn't have changed much, but now it seems your cultivation... has changed so much! Did you modify your Dao?" Shen Shuibi also noticed Li Qi's changes.

"Yes, I incorporated some Human Dao methods, and used them to refine the Guangyang within my body."

"...Can they be integrated?" Shen Shuibi frowned.

Dao conflicts were not to be trifled with.

"Guangyang is in the Baiyue region, where the Shaman Dao and Human Dao naturally intersect. I also based it on the actual situation of Guangyang," Li Qi replied.

In the Baiyue, the Human Dao and Shaman Dao were intertwined, a place of Dao contention between the two sides, naturally mixed. This was also one of the reasons Li Qi dared to do so.

"...But cultivation is difficult in the Baiyue, and the people are not submissive. You know what the situation is like there. This is caused by Dao contention. Aren't you afraid it will affect your Human Body Small Universe in the same way?" Shen Shuibi asked worriedly.

"So I made modifications. It seems there are no problems now," Li Qi replied.

"Li Qi... you are participating in Dao contention now. Do you know what will happen to you if you are wrong?" Shen Shuibi looked at Li Qi gravely.
