I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 246. Kidnap People

The spine is divided, from top to bottom, into the cervical spine, thoracic vertebrae, lumbar, sacrum, and tailbone.

During the Marrow Cleansing, they emphasize "all in one go," demanding that Cultivators cleanse all five sections with their inner breath every day.

For the human body’s various tissues and organs all follow the natural law of "use it or lose it."

Without exercise or cleansing, function naturally diminishes.

Therefore, to cultivate, one must work on the entire root at once, at least once a day, continuing for about half a month to advance to the Blood Exchange.

This is a great test for Cultivators, requiring a robust physique to generate sufficient inner breath.

They also need to be cautious and meticulous, as if walking blindfolded on a narrow plank over a deep abyss.

A force of fifty to sixty thousand kilograms in the Blood Exchange Realm, strong enough to withstand rifle bullets, is a power bought with life itself.

At this moment, Xia Weiyun had absorbed and refined True Qi in just five minutes but stood rigid, not daring to move an inch, lest he disturb Lu Li even slightly.

His mind also harbored some complaints about his younger brother. Why did he start without looking more for guidance?

Little did he know, the difficulty of Lu Li cleansing his spine was not as significant as he imagined.

Admittedly, using too many external resources, Lu’s physique was merely adequate, and the inner breath produced was just enough.

However, utilizing Internal Vision, he could clearly see everything about the spine!

Vertebral foramen, vertebral body, nerve grooves... All were clearly visible under the complex "Heavenly Eye" view.

Being able to directly see was better than any cheat!

Lu Li controlled his inner breath, caressing it as gently as touching an eyeball, carefully stimulating and cleansing the spinal marrow.

Any slight problems were quickly resolved with reference to Xia Weiyun, overall a close call with no real danger.

Tail, sacrum, lumbar, thoracic, cervical... About two hours later, he completed the cleansing of the entire spine and opened his eyes.

Seeing the bright shine in his eyes, Xia Weiyun knew it was a success:

"Congratulations, little brother Lu! What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, and this first time is the hardest. It’ll get easier after this!"

Lu Li bowed with folded hands, "I owe it to Sister Xia’s guidance."

Hearing this, Xia Weiyun blushed slightly and coughed to change the subject:

"You must be exhausted, you should rest."

Lu Li pondered, "I’m alright... I plan to do another session tonight."

"Doing it once in the morning and once at night yields the best results."

Xia Weiyun said, "I’m free today, I’ll keep an eye on you."

"Thank you, Sister Xia."

Lu Li smiled and thanked her; Xiao Cha and Wanqing came out from inside the house.

They had been afraid to disturb Lu Li just now and had not dared to move.

~~~~~~~~~~~

With Lu Li’s triumph, Wanqing and Xiao Cha were naturally overjoyed.

They put together a lavish feast in the kitchen to treat Xia Weiyun.

All four were of significant realms, and with Wanqing’s excellent cooking skills, they devoured the meal swiftly, not leaving a single bone.

During the meal, Lu Li took the initiative to ask, "I wonder how things are going with the Jiushan Sect?"

With no outsiders present, Xia Weiyun directly replied:

"The Jiushan Sect sent someone to be a director of the Divine Heart Association, named... Fan Shiji. I sent a formal greeting to him this morning; a response should come soon."

Xiao Cha found the name familiar and immediately recalled that he was the one they had met with Uncle Chen when he assumed his office.

"This Fan Shiji is incredibly arrogant, sending a Blood Exchange Level zombie to storm into the Prefectural Magistrate to demonstrate power!"

"The Jiushan Sect has always been domineering. They might suffer for it this time."

Xia Weiyun sneered, then looked at Lu Li:

"You should know, the one coming to pay respect this time includes—Qiu Yan!"

Lu Li frowned, "The master of the Governor’s daughter..."

"Correct! Mr. Nan routinely reported the matter to the Governor, and this woman volunteered to join him."

Xia Weiyun analyzed,

"It must be the Governor who had his eyes on the Spirit Vein. Of course, eliminating a malevolent neighbor would also be great."

Lu Li furrowed his brows even more.

He too was interested in the Spirit Vein and had even spent a great deal of money on heavy artillery, naturally unwilling for anyone to beat him to it.

At this moment, Lu Li thought quickly to himself,

"Counting the days, when the rocket artillery and helicopter are transported over, I should just be able to promote to ’Blood Exchange’... The timing is tight."

Seeing her little brother lost in thought, Xia Weiyun’s heart stirred, and she remembered the destruction of Xuanzang Temple.

Logically speaking, Lu Li wouldn’t have this ability, but he had inquired about it shortly before the temple’s disappearance... It was hard not to be suspicious.

Especially now as he was inquiring about the Jiushan Sect and seemed so contemplative.

Xia Weiyun was about to speak when hurried footsteps came from outside, and soon the door was banged loudly.

Xiao Cha went to open the door and saw a strange combination—

Tong Shao, and a panic-stricken Chen Zhizhong?

"It’s terrible! Yi’an and Yiping have been abducted by a Demon human!"

Tong Shao chirped like a little sparrow as she recounted the events:

"After school, the three of us were riding home when we encountered a Taoist. The Taoist took interest in Yi’an and Yiping and said he wanted to take them to Cultivate. Then he let a giant zombie tear the roof of the car and abduct them!"

Chen Zhizhong spoke in a distraught tone, "It was Fan Shiji of the Divine Heart Association who kidnapped the siblings..."

Upon hearing this, everyone understood what had happened.

Xiao Cha was incredulous, "Uncle Chen, you are a Prefect! How could he dare..."

She stopped midway, realizing on her own—acting as Prefect, yet only a middle-aged Marrow Cleansing, he really had no deterrence.

Chen Zhizhong stated mournfully,

"I only hate my own timidity in the past, afraid to advance to Blood Exchange, so much so that today I don’t even qualify to risk my life..."

With that, he knelt down in front of Lu Li,

"Young Master Lu, I am truly out of options, please, for the sake of our past acquaintance, save Yi’an and Yiping! I beg you!"

Lu Li and Xiao Cha together helped Chen Zhizhong to his feet.

"Mr. Chen, don’t panic, I will certainly handle this matter."

First offering him some reassurance, Lu Li was already considering whether to storm in there and deal with it or...

At that moment, Xia Weiyun spoke solemnly, "Mr. Nan might visit them himself to retrieve the people."

Hearing this, Chen Zhizhong was overjoyed and hurriedly expressed his thanks:

"The old chairman stepping in! That’s wonderful, thank you, Chairman Xia!"

"Mr. Chen, no need for thanks."

Seeing Chen Zhizhong had a deep relationship with Lu Li’s family, Xia Weiyun gave some grace and promptly went inside to make a call.

Chen Zhizhong naturally knew where this courtesy came from and kept bowing to Lu Li.

Soon after, Xia Weiyun came out from the call, "Mr. Nan has personally gone to the Divine Heart Association to demand people."

Hearing this, Chen Zhizhong breathed a sigh of relief.

The old chairman was Innate and had extensive connections; everyone would give him some face.

At this time, Xiao Cha quietly comforted Uncle Chen, Wanqing made a pot of Spiritual Tea to calm the nerves, and even Tong Shao waited anxiously with tension on her little face.

Since she was both a classmate and close friend of the Chen siblings, she naturally prayed for their safety.

Xia Weiyun thought to herself: The Jiushan Sect abducting the Prefect’s children? Was this a warning to the Governor not to overstep?

After a while, a sudden sound of high-speed movement broke the silence.

A figure entered the courtyard—it was Nan Jiping.

The old gentleman said with a stern face, "Fan Shiji never returned to the Divine Heart Association, he abducted the people and took them back to the sect gates on the fly!"

"What!?"

A wave of shock erupted!

Xia Weiyun dismissed her own guess: This hasty... it really is about coveting the Chen siblings!
