I am really not a medical immortal.

Chapter 1886 - 1885: Drawing a Circle (37th Update)

"Dad..." Xiao Hu reluctantly handed over the high-grade Spirit Stone.

"You little brat, what are you dawdling for? Hurry up and take the food and wine inside, or are you waiting for me to give you a thrashing?" scolded Xiao Hu’s father.

Facing his father’s imposing authority, Xiao Hu dared not resist and walked towards the family store with his head hung low.

"Xiaohao, you take your time resting here, I’ll go in first," said Xiao Hu’s father.

Saying this, he turned and headed towards the family store.

As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Hu’s mother confronted him, arms akimbo, glaring at him fiercely.

"The high-grade Spirit Stone?" asked Xiao Hu’s mother, rubbing her fingers together.

"Xiao Hu’s mom, what’s with the high-grade Spirit Stone? I don’t know anything about it," Xiao Hu’s father feigned ignorance.

"Xiao Hu, tell your mom, does your dad have a high-grade Spirit Stone?" asked Xiao Hu’s mother.

"Just now Brother Xiaohao sold a painting, and it fetched a high-grade Spirit Stone, which my dad took," said Xiao Hu defiantly, meeting his father’s fierce gaze head-on.

He seemed determined not to let anyone have it if he couldn’t.

"So, Xiao Hu’s dad, what do you have to say now?" Xiao Hu’s mother said, squinting her eyes.

"I... I’m wrong!" Xiao Hu’s father strugglingly admitted, then took out the high-grade Spirit Stone and handed it to Xiao Hu’s mother.

"You’re wise to do that! Otherwise, I wouldn’t mind teaching you a lesson!" Xiao Hu’s mother said satisfactorily.

Storing the high-grade Spirit Stone away, she turned and headed towards her bedroom, muttering that it was for Ting’er, and she would keep it safe.

"Xiao Hu! You’re really something! You even dared to call your mom over; are you setting a trap for me?" Xiao Hu’s father said with a stern face.

"Ah! Mom, help! Dad said you’re a tigress!" Suddenly, Xiao Hu exaggeratedly shouted and dashed towards his mother’s bedroom.

"You old geezer, how dare you say I’m a tigress! Watch how I deal with you today!" Xiao Hu’s mother said fiercely.

With that, she grabbed a feather duster and rushed out from the bedroom.

"Ah! Kids’ mother, don’t listen to that little brat! He’s slandering!" Xiao Hu’s father quickly explained.

Just as he finished speaking, Xiao Hu’s mother had already charged at him, waving the feather duster, sending gusts towards him, and the room erupted into chaos.

Outside the courtyard.

Hearing the commotion from the neighboring store, Zhang Xiaohao smiled slightly.

The whole person immersed in this marvelous feeling, squinting at the sky, freeing his thoughts, feeling various emotions appear in his heart.

Gradually, Zhang Xiaohao entered a mysterious and profound state, a unique sensation, where his soul was freed from the physical body, standing as a third-party observer, experiencing the changes around him from a God’s-eye view.

The world trembled, a mysterious aura emanated from within him.

Over a year of living as an ordinary man, reading, listening to music, painting, all flashed back like fleeting dreams in his mind, re-entering the state of enlightenment.

The difference this time was that the enlightenment led to an elevation of his mental state, not his cultivation level, and Zhang Xiaohao was completely immersed in this odd state.

The Green Robed Elder, who was sweeping nearby, suddenly felt a shiver under the mysterious aura emanating from Zhang Xiaohao, and immediately looked at him, seeing Zhang Xiaohao squinting, fully entering an extraordinary state, with eyes widened in fear.

"Is this the legendary enlightenment? The highest realm of understanding in cultivation?" The Green Robed Elder exclaimed in his heart, shocked.

Regaining his composure, he found that his years-long Golden Core Early Stage bottleneck showed signs of loosening under Zhang Xiaohao’s enlightenment aura. Not hesitating, he immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, started circulating his Cultivation Technique, entering a state of cultivation.

There’s no concept of time in cultivation, and the sky quickly turned dark.

"Brother Xiaohao, it’s time to eat!" At this moment, Xiao Hu’s voice sounded, as he ran out from the store, shaking Zhang Xiaohao’s arm.

With Xiao Hu’s call, Zhang Xiaohao’s mind immediately returned.

"Alas! My fate to gain it and my fortune to lose it!" Zhang Xiaohao sighed and didn’t blame anyone.

In merely half an afternoon, his mental strengths improved significantly, reaching the Early Stage of Divinity Transformation. If Zhang Xiaohao wanted to break through, he could at any time. Even the Evil Qi surrounding him, filled with hostility, had been completely polished away, posing no harm to him anymore.

If given half a night more, Zhang Xiaohao could have comprehended the awe-inspiring righteousness, but alas, Xiao Hu interrupted him.

"Move my deck chair back inside," Zhang Xiaohao instructed with a hint of dissatisfaction as he got up from the deck chair.

"Ah! Why does it have to be me?" Xiao Hu protested.

"Why, are you unwilling?" Zhang Xiaohao asked, looking at him with amusement.

Facing Zhang Xiaohao’s gaze, Xiao Hu lowered his head and said, "Fine, I’ll go."

Saying this, Xiao Hu lifted the deck chair and walked towards the store.

"Even outside the martial realm, I’m confident in comprehending the awe-inspiring righteousness within three months!" Zhang Xiaohao said seriously, looking at the night sky.

The awe-inspiring righteousness is one of the most potent forces of sheer bravery and positivity in the world, with significant suppressive effects on evil demons and outsiders, incredibly powerful, but alas, fell short by a mere step.

Retracting his gaze, Zhang Xiaohao looked at the Green Robed Elder seated cross-legged on the ground.

"Huh! Helped by my enlightenment, he’s about to break through?" Zhang Xiaohao wondered aloud with regret, "Too bad! The accumulation is sufficient, but the Cultivation Technique is truly abysmal!"

According to this trajectory, even after a year or two, he might not be able to break through to the Golden Core Middle Stage.

"Well then! I’ll help you once!" Zhang Xiaohao decided seriously.

With that, he flicked his fingers, and twelve top-grade Spirit Stones flew from his storage pouch at his waist, forming a Spirit Gathering Array around the Green Robed Elder.

"Rise!" Zhang Xiaohao commanded.

With a flick of his fingers, the Spirit Gathering Array formed by twelve top-grade Spirit Stones soared into the sky, enveloping the Green Robed Elder within, and terrifying Spiritual Power burst from the array, rushing into his body to be absorbed and refined.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohao withdrew his gaze, thought for a moment, and golden Sword Qi flowed between his fingers, drawing a circle centered around him, enveloping his entire being.

After finishing these actions, Zhang Xiaohao left behind a Sound Transmission Talisman and headed towards Xiao Hu’s family store.
