Chapter 234 Difficult to Live In
"An Shen Lu, three qian," a doctor-like man gave the order.

Upon hearing this, a book spirit nearby flicked its finger and pressed the lotus leaf cup to Gao Jian's lips.

The moment the nectar entered his throat, Gao Jian suddenly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of stale air, and felt much better about his exploding brain.

But in the next instant, the physician made a hand seal and crushed a jade talisman. From the shattered light, countless transparent hands reached out and knocked on his divine gate.

"Close your eyes!" the physician said, placing a sword tassel in Gao Jian's mouth to temporarily seal his seven orifices.

At this moment, Dansha and Gaojian were in the medical room of the Imperial Academy.

Just now, Gao Jian went all out, unwilling to be stuck at the last minute.

Even without a rusty knife, he can hold his own.

As it turned out, he did hold on. Despite being injured, he still managed to read through all the martial arts insights of the warrior who had shattered the sea of ​​clouds.

That's really...

overbearing.

Aside from being domineering, there's nothing else to say.

The tyranny that tramples the heavens underfoot, the command of all things... No, that's not a command, that's a 'threat'.

If anything doesn't obey, then we must use the violence of martial arts to teach them how to do it.

If one were to describe that person, Gao Jian would call that martial artist "Overlord".

Only a tyrant can describe him.

This martial arts divine intent is very damaging. Forcibly accepting the profound insights of these divine intents has caused serious injuries. Now he is somewhat speechless and can only lie there, letting Dansha take him into the Imperial Academy.

As for cinnabar, of course, the first thing to do was to carry Gao Jian to the infirmary.

And that's how the incident just happened.

"Doctor, how is he? And you guys... why are you so skilled?" Dansha looked at the doctor in astonishment.

The doctor in front of me didn't ask anything or look at anything; he just raised his hand and started treating me. Gao Jian got better immediately, and he looked much more comfortable.

What kind of miraculous doctor is this? Are all the doctors at the Imperial Academy this amazing?

Faced with Dan Sha's astonished gaze, the doctor rolled his eyes: "Of course I'm skilled. I treat countless patients every year. Xuan Bing at the gate, right? You're a student of the Imperial Academy, aren't you? Students don't have to pay, but outsiders do. Go to the gatehouse to register if you want to pay."

"It's a student, it's a student, right, there are students every year?" Dansha asked, somewhat surprised.

“There are plenty of cases like this. We’ve dealt with a lot of people who got injured or maimed while trying to comprehend the divine essence. We’re very skilled at handling these cases. His spirit is quite resilient, so he didn’t suffer any major injuries. He just needs to rest and recover.” The doctor quickly wrote down a few forms, one of which was handed to Dansha: “There are some medicines for nourishing the spirit outside. Take them and sign here.”

"Oh, oh..." Dansha responded, then signed the document in a daze, only to see the other party quickly and rapidly signing, then looking at Dansha.

"Hmm?" Dansha tilted her head.

"Come on, go get your medicine and go home to rest. What are you still standing here for?" the doctor asked, puzzled.

She's been treated, prescribed medicine, and they're not charging her any money, so what's she doing here?
"Ah...ah! Okay, I understand." Dansha belatedly realized what was happening, sighed twice, and then quickly carried Gao Jian away.

Once outside, she went to get her medicine.

However, standing in front of the platform, she froze again.

No... how do I get the medicine?

--------------

Three hours later, Dan Sha, in the form of a dragon, floated wearily in the sky.

Her eyes were a little teary, and she angrily whipped her tail, seemingly wanting to vent her frustration, but in the end she gave up.

She could only curl up futilely by the roadside, like a hedgehog, glaring at anyone who came near! Others who wanted to ask her questions were driven away by her glares.

On this day, she experienced the following:
When I went to get my medicine, I didn't know what to do, so someone cut in line and it took me a long time to get it. I even got an eye roll from someone.

After finally getting the certificate, I managed to leave the Imperial Academy. I was planning to return the way I came, but I got lost in the sky because there was no such thing as the 'original way'. The buildings in the sky had long since changed.

After getting lost, she was at a loss for a long time before finally mustering up the courage to ask for directions. Luckily, a very kind lady invited her to sit down.

That woman is a fraud; she bought a bunch of human ornaments that she doesn't need.

They tried to chase the scammer, but almost got hit by other airships. Because they weren't familiar with the route, chasing after him only made them more lost, and the scammer got away.

I wanted to ask for directions, but because I was scammed, I was very wary and couldn't get any.

I was hungry and wanted to find something to eat by the roadside, but I was afraid of being scammed, so I didn't dare to look for a shop.

And so... things have turned out the way they are now.

Lost, hungry, and in a bad mood, Dansha, wrapped in dragon lightning, curled up by the roadside, surrounded by Gao Jian amidst the coiled dragon's body.

Gao Jian hasn't recovered yet; he's probably still sleeping.

When the soul is damaged, one tends to sleep more, which is nothing special. In addition, the doctor also shut down his five senses, probably to let him rest well, so Dansha did not wake him up.

Wait until he gets up...

He'll be fine once he gets up!
Dansha huddled in place, tears welling in her eyes.

But then, a person was seen flying over from a distance, seemingly wanting to strike up a conversation with Dansha.

Dansha immediately wiped away his tears, let out a low growl, and began to churn dragon thunder in his mouth, staring at the other party with hostility.

Seeing this, the man scratched his head awkwardly and then quickly left.

There's no need to greet a truly unsettling dragon; it's dangerous.

After seeing the other person leave, Dansha shrank back, curled herself up, and looked at Gaojian with teary eyes.

Ugh……

Living in the capital is so difficult.

She couldn't find her way, there were scammers around, and everyone was watching her...

I really don't know how Gao Jian does it... He found his way right after arriving, just stumbled a bit, didn't get scammed, and even managed to get along well with other people...

Alas, without insightful advice, it seems she really can't survive in the capital.

Dan Sha remained in place, using her dragon tail to sweep over Gao Jian, who was wrapped in her center.

Sigh... When will he wake up?

So hungry.

No one else is trustworthy.

Only Gao Jian and her uncle could be trusted; no matter how many times or what happened, Gao Jian and her uncle would never betray her.

Unlike others...

Dan Sha thought to himself.

As for his insightful opinion at this moment... he was neither asleep nor unconscious.

At this moment, Gao Jian is reorganizing many divine ideas in his mind.

The charm comes from all sorts of places: nightmares, Buddha's light, and... from that ancient piece of ice.

Each of these divine essences, taken out individually, is enough to support a superior cultivation technique or become an important pillar of other divine wills, because these divine essences themselves possess such power.

Organizing these Shen Yun materials is a very painful process because Shen Yun is invisible and can only be perceived.

A brilliant idea fell onto a mirror.

It's like a child digging hard into his deaf ears with his fingers, and when his ears hurt, he hears the sound of waves.

Obviously, a deaf ear couldn't hear the sound of the waves, but the boy's statement was so true that there was no doubt about it. So, did he actually hear it?

Perhaps they saw it, perhaps they didn't.

The 'feeling' in this process is Shen Yun itself.

In this situation, the concept of time becomes strange; to Takashi, it seems both extremely long and yet also like a fleeting moment.

After all, a correct concept of time belongs to those who can act as they please. For those who have lost control of themselves at this moment, time is stagnant and meaningless.

But that's a good thing.

This state allows Gao Jian to better and more wholeheartedly process the information within the divine essence.

This is a bit strange, like a blind person.

Blind people imprison themselves in their bodies, which are meaningless to their surroundings. They feel their bodies moving, but they cannot see the mountains and roads approaching them in the distance.

Gao Jian is in the same situation now. He is imprisoned in his own body, and his damaged soul is like a giant vacuum cleaner that can suck away people's memories, interests, and their perception of time and place.

Yes, even memories. Gao Jian always feels like he can't remember things, but this also brings him a completely new perspective, namely the so-called concept of Gestalt.
The Tai Sui that Gao Jian saw, the martial arts divine intent within the ancient ice, and the Buddha light that he observed were clearly not complete; Gao Jian could not see their true full form.

In this state, he should recombine these incomplete things into a whole, a complete unit within the new constraints, just like putting four different wheels together on the same vehicle.

Miracles often inspire unrealistic desires, and this kind of piecing together is clearly a kind of miracle—finding what you need among a pile of broken fragments.

And the most important thing is... to know what you 'need'.

It's hard.

Because it is empty, you can sew anything in, but once you have something, you can't choose freely.

So how do we choose?

I don't know, and I have no way of deciding.

Because with this kind of thing, you either understand it or you don't. No matter how carefully the teacher explains it, your brain still won't grasp it, until one day, while eating, singing, or doing something unimportant, suddenly, oh! I understand! Then you immediately berate yourself for being an idiot, wondering how you could have missed something so simple before.

In short, Gao Jian stumbled, swayed, and leaped amidst a vast sea of ​​images and memories, weaving a web with lines from various angles.

He himself didn't know how he did it.

Anyway, we managed to do it.

He's a genius.

Just as he was thinking this, all the essence he had previously comprehended was slowly coming together.

There was no afternoon, no morning, no evening, no dawn; no light, no darkness. He slowly controlled his breathing. His agitated heart beat more steadily, the pounding of his inner waves subsided, like a black mirror reflecting his emotions. He closed his eyes; the door to his heart had opened.

Shen Yun is just like that.

It possesses a captivating charm, yet leaves no trace to be found; its artistic conception, insight, and grandeur are infinitely refined, yet defy description.

His...divine intent of martial arts.

The will of God is fully brewing and maturing within the gates of God.

His mind was clear, as sharp as a scalpel. Before him lay a fetus, waiting for his scalpel to cut it open and release its divine essence.

But there is a problem.

Of the three acupoints of the divine gate, only the Niwan acupoint has been opened so far.

Without the three acupoints of divine power, can one truly withstand that divine will?

Ok……

After some thought, Gao Jian decided to abandon further thought.

Screw it, why are you being so timid! If you can't handle it, then you're just not good enough!
If the method has been mastered, and even the strange being in that dream world can directly open the divine gate, why can't I?
Hesitant and timid! If you keep shrinking back, even your divine will might be corrupted. You must know... divine will is linked to one's thoughts. Your current fear and concerns will all seep into your divine will.

With this thought in mind, Gao Jian no longer hesitated; his mind, sharp as a knife, sliced ​​through the divine intent he had been brewing for so long—

----------

When Gao Jian opened his eyes, the capital city before him had already entered the night scene.

Hundreds of palace lanterns were already hanging on the floating buildings of Taiwei Enclosure. The red candles on the flying boats were reflected in the dark sky, breaking into floating specks of gold. Black crows on the roof ornaments and teahouses with carved windows were filled with rising white steam that swirled in the air, carrying with it a fragrant aroma.

The night breeze stirred, and the gods didn't care what sordid things might be behind the scenes. At least on the surface, this place was so dazzling and beautiful that one could never tire of looking at it.

The moment Gao Jian opened his eyes, Dan Sha moved; she had been waiting for a whole day!

But then Little Dragon Girl quickly transformed into human form and floated beside Gao Jian, seemingly wanting to say something.

She had so much to say; the whole day had been filled with grievances!
But Gao Jian only glanced at her before immediately plummeting downwards!
He can't fly!

"Hey!" Dansha reached out and grabbed Gaojian, then suddenly remembered something, looked down embarrassedly, and asked Gaojian, "Oh... I forgot you can't fly. Can you still ride the wind now? Or is your soul damaged and you can't control the dragon pearl?"

She knew about the Flood Dragon Pearl, of course.

"It's nothing. Um, are you going to carry me and fly? Or should I step on you?" Gao Jian didn't seem to mind. He was already used to Dan Sha's recklessness.

"Step on me." Dansha transformed back into a dragon and let Gao Jian step on her.

Then, she couldn't wait to start pouring out her heart: "Let me tell you, today was really... Yangjing is a terrible place. I would never have come here alone. It's full of weird stuff and scammers!"

"I knew it! You shouldn't trust people so easily. If I catch that liar, I'll eat her alive!"

"What's wrong? Why are even scammers popping up?" Gao Jian rubbed his temples.

"Wait a minute, um? What's wrong with you? Why do you seem a bit different?" Dansha suddenly stopped and turned to look at Gao Jian.

"It's nothing, I've just grasped a little bit," Gao Jian said with a smile.

He had no intention of revealing his divine will.

This is a deadly move, so it's best not to expose it. Moreover... exposing it would be dangerous for Dan Sha as well as for Gao Jian.

After all, he hadn't fully opened the three acupoints of the divine gate yet.
