Song Baiyu woke up again in the afternoon.

  "Bo Yu, wake up, hurry up and drink porridge." As soon as Song Bo Yu opened his eyes, he heard a soft and pleasant voice, followed by an enticing aroma that entered his nostrils.

  "Sister, you came and didn't even wake me up." The person speaking in the hospital room was Zhang Pengfei's new wife, Mao Haiyan. Mao Haiyan wore a pink sweater that showed off her slender figure, with the typical delicate and fair skin of a Jiangnan woman, and a pair of lively big eyes that seemed to speak as they looked at Song Baiyu with concern.

  Mao Haiyan was holding a thermos flask, inside which was steaming hot congee, and Song Boyu's nose twitched as he knew it contained his favorite preserved egg and lean pork congee.

  Song Baiyu spoke while taking the thermos from Mao Haiyan's hand without hesitation and ate with relish.

  "I just came for a while, saw you sleeping soundly, and didn't dare to wake you up. Seeing that your complexion is much better, can you go to work tomorrow?" Song Baoyu liked the porridge she cooked, Mao Haiyan had a satisfied smile on her face until Song Baoyu finished the porridge in three or two mouthfuls, then she smiled and said.

  Song Baiyu nodded: "It's nothing big anyway, I'll go back to work tomorrow!"

  "Baoyu, did you know that Jinchang Department Store caught fire?" Ma Haiyan hesitated for a moment and asked Song Baoyu with concern.

  These two days, the fire at Jinchang Department Store has been a hot topic throughout the city. Due to her husband's job, Mao Haiyan paid extra attention to this matter, worrying that Song Boyu might be affected by it and impact his future prospects. Thinking that Song Boyu was still in the hospital and might not know about the incident, she couldn't help but give him a heads up.

  "Jinchang Department Store caught fire, what's going on?" Song Baiyu asked doubtfully, sensing that something was off from Mao Haiyan's tone and expression.

  Mao Haiyan detailed the process of the matter to Song Baiyu, and even the possibility that the vice governor might come to Jinyang City for inspection was not missed.

  "It turns out that my sister-in-law was worried about whether I could continue working at the police station, thank you for your concern." Song Boyu saw that Mao Haiyan was afraid that he didn't know the severity of the situation, so he explained things very clearly. Song Boyu's face revealed a knowing smile: "No one dares to touch me, and I even hope they can drive me out of the police station."

  "It's all right." Seeing Song Baiyu's relaxed face, Mao Haiyan also breathed a sigh of relief. Song Baiyu had been in Jinyang City for less than two years and not only bought a house in the downtown area but also took out 100,000 yuan to support her husband and wife without batting an eyelid, so he must have a way to deal with difficulties.

  After a nap, Song Baiyu found that his high fever had gone away, and his body no longer felt uncomfortable. Remembering he still had to go to work the next day, he went through the discharge procedures with Mao Haiyan by his side.

  Mao Haiyan invited Song Baiyu to her home for a visit, but was politely declined by Song Baiyu. On the one hand, it was not good to disturb the newlyweds, and on the other hand, he was eager to make a plan for his own physical recovery training.

  After leaving Mao Haiyan, Song Bo Yu went to the bank and then rushed to the Chinese medicine shop.

  Song Baiyu had originally planned to buy some medicinal herbs to decoct, after all, his current body was too weak, only under the stimulation of medicine could he strengthen his body to achieve the best effect.

  What made Song Baiyu lose his breath was that he ran through all the Chinese medicine shops in the main city, but didn't find any satisfactory medicinal materials. It's worth knowing that Song Baiyu from his previous life was extremely picky about medicinal materials, and ordinary ones naturally couldn't enter his eyes.

  When he arrived at the last Chinese medicine shop, Song Baiyu had to compromise with reality. Since he couldn't find the rare medicinal materials, it was okay to temporarily use ordinary medicinal materials as substitutes. After all, he couldn't delay his physical training because of this, and Song Baiyu wasn't that stubborn a person.

  Song Baiyu's purchase of medicinal herbs this time was not for refining elixirs, nor was it for consumption. These ordinary medicinal herbs were completely unsuitable for refining elixirs and would have no effect even if decocted and taken orally. However, they were just right for tempering his bones and muscles, as his body was currently too weak and couldn't withstand the potency of stronger medicines.

  "It seems that tempering the body is not as simple as I imagined." After realizing the scarcity of medicinal materials in the Chinese medicine shop, Song Baiyu started to worry.

  It's not just the shortage of medicinal materials that gives Song Baiyu a headache, but another thing that makes him worried is that he has encountered an economic crisis. Originally, there were still tens of thousands of yuan in cash in his bank card, which was enough for living expenses. However, after buying half a month's worth of medicine to refine his bones and muscles, his money had almost run out.

  Thinking back to his past life, all he had to do was move his mouth and many people would rush to send him all sorts of precious treasures. Now, not only did he have to exhaust himself searching for the herbs he needed, but he also had to think of ways to make money. A bitter smile spread across Song Boyu's face.

  Xiu Zhen is divided into twelve realms: Qi Refining, Embryonic Breathing, Foundation Building, Merging, Spiritual Movement, Golden Elixir, Yuan Ying, Exiting the Shell, Separation of Spirits, Union of Bodies, Crossing the Calamity, and Mahayana. After completing the Mahayana realm, one will ascend to become an immortal.

  Song Baiyu's sect didn't have any particularly powerful innate techniques, but he personally obtained a technique called "Spring and Autumn Decision" through a combination of circumstances. The Spring and Autumn Decision was created by several top-notch cultivators who had reached the Great Vehicle realm and grasped the laws of heaven and earth. It consisted of two parts: the Innate Martial Technique Chapter and the True Qi Heart Method Chapter. Only by cultivating both the martial technique and internal energy heart method simultaneously could one achieve great success with the Spring and Autumn Decision.

  "Chunqiu Jue" has a total of 36 pre-heavenly martial techniques, combining attack and defense as one, with both rigidity and gentleness, advancing to attack and retreating to defend, making it nearly perfect.

  When a cultivator of the middle stage of the Spring and Autumn Annals, who was in the middle stage of his cultivation, clashed with two other middle-stage cultivators and one early-stage cultivator who had just broken through, not only did he not die, but he also killed the two strong middle-stage cultivators, severely injured the strong early-stage cultivator, and escaped unscathed. After this, the cultivation world was immediately thrown into a frenzy of fighting over the Spring and Autumn Annals, until 200 years later when this technique "disappeared".

  Although the Chunqiu jue's true energy cultivation method is far from being as dazzling as the Xiantian wuqi, it can still be ranked among the top-notch heart methods. After all, the difference between a Mahayana cultivator and a Xia Hui Fei Sheng is only a thin line, so how much different could a heart method created by several powerful Mahayana cultivators possibly be?

  The true energy cultivation method of "Chun Qiu Jue" does not require years of accumulation and bitter practice to build a foundation like ordinary qigong methods. When this method is operated, it can absorb the heavenly spiritual energy in the air around the body to increase the storage of true energy inside the body, and the speed of cultivation is dozens of times that of ordinary qigong methods.

  Of course, "Chun Qiu Jue" also has a fatal flaw, that is, it is only suitable for people without a foundation in Xian Tian to cultivate. When Song Baiyu obtained "Chun Qiu Jue", he had already reached the realm of Chu Kong, so it was a bit reluctant for him to abandon his hard-won and profound cultivation to start cultivating a new skill from scratch.

  However, this shortcoming of "Chunqiu Dui" is no longer a shortcoming for Song Baiyu now, but rather like a tailor-made suit that fits him perfectly.

  Due to the various wonders of "Chunqiu Jue", Song Baiyu, although he had not cultivated in his previous life, firmly remembered it in his mind, and unexpectedly, there was a day when he could use it himself.

  Song Baiyu had originally planned to master the first move of Chunqiu's decision, but after three hours, he was exhausted and had to give up on this beautiful dream. In theory, ordinary people can practice Chunqiu's decision, but the premise is that the physical strength and flexibility of that ordinary person are good enough, and now Song Baiyu's body obviously does not meet the requirements.

  Song Baiyu did not continue to practice, but stood quietly in front of the window, gazing at the bright moon hanging high in the sky. His heart was filled with tranquility. He didn't feel discouraged because he had been beaten back to his original form. On the contrary, he felt a thrill of excitement, after all, he could experience the legendary magical skill for himself. This time, he believed that he would not fail again.

  Song Baiyu spat out a mouthful of turbid air and silently recited the heart mantra, beginning to absorb the spiritual energy from heaven and earth around him.

  Only to see the spiritual energy in the house flying towards him at a speed visible to the naked eye, then drilling into his body, through the Lingtai into the body, and finally being converted into his own innate inner breath by Song Baiyu's heart method.

  When Song Baiyu woke up from his first meditation, he found that the sky had already revealed a hint of dawn, and only then did he realize that an entire night had passed.

  "Huh, I've already got internal energy?" Song Baiyu exclaimed as he checked his body's state. It turned out that after just one night of cultivation, he had actually developed internal energy in his dantian and qihai, although it was still very thin. Being able to achieve this level of internal energy without any external help in just one night was already quite heaven-defying; to think that in his past life, it had taken him a whole three days to reach this step.

  "This is..." When Song Baiyu's gaze stayed on the several pots of yellow peaches in the house, a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes. He found that the yellow peaches, which were still exceptionally green and lively last night, had withered like they had been exposed to the scorching sun for several days.

  Song Baiyu soon discovered the anomaly, and the other dozen or so potted plants in the house were all healthy, but Huang Du was in a half-dead state.

  "Could it be because of my own cultivation of the Spring and Autumn Decision heart method?" After pondering for a moment, Song Baiyu muttered to himself in doubt. To verify his idea, he began to circulate the Spring and Autumn Decision heart method again, only to find that the yellow peach indeed gradually turned its leaves yellow and lost its vitality, while the other potted landscapes remained unchanged.

  "What's going on?" After confirming that Huang Du had indeed lost his life energy due to his own practice, Song Baiyu fell into deep thought. As the same plant, why did Huang Du change, while other flowers and grasses were not affected?

  Song Baiyu's mind flashed with information about various indoor plants and compared them. Soon, Song Baiyu discovered the difference between Huang Du and other flowers and grasses.

  Other bonsai are purely ornamental, while the tuber of Huangdu can be taken orally, which has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling blood and stopping bleeding, relieving cough and asthma, and is a good medicine for treating goiter, hematemesis, hemoptysis, cough and asthma, and pertussis. Although it is not precious, it is a genuine and affordable medicinal material.

  That is to say, only herbs are helpful for their own cultivation methods.

  Recalling that there was still a pot of Huang Du in the courtyard on the first floor, Song Baiyu quickly ran to the first floor, dug out the Huang Du from the pot and continued to cultivate Chun Qiu Jue. As a result, he saw the tuber of Huang Du withering away at a speed visible to the naked eye until it was dry without any water content.

  After Huang Du's death, Song Baiyu did not stop practicing the Heart Method, but instead continued to cultivate. As a result, he found that the effect of his cultivation was slightly worse than when Huang Du was around, although it was only a tiny difference. However, Song Baiyu's surprise and delight were boundless. This True Cultivation method was too mysterious, as it could absorb the life force of medicinal plants and convert it into internal energy. And Huang Du was just an ordinary herb that couldn't be more ordinary. If he filled his entire courtyard with rare and precious herbs, wouldn't his cultivation become twice as effective?

  "Haha, heaven has been kind to me, I've made a profit this time." Although he had already realized the miraculousness of the Spring and Autumn Annals' technique in his previous life, he hadn't expected that the true energy cultivation method of the Spring and Autumn Annals would also be equally miraculous. He felt that the Cultivation World still underestimated the importance of the Spring and Autumn Annals.

  At this moment, Song Baiyu even thought of abandoning his mundane identity and directly entering the deep mountains and old forests to cultivate. However, after thinking for a moment, he gave up this absurd idea. After all, he had occupied the body of "Song Baiyu" and had also refined the other party's divine consciousness. If he couldn't repay the other party's great favor and fulfill "his" wish, there would always be a knot in his own cultivation path.
