Chapter 1400: Chapter 418: [Do You Look Down on Me?] (2)

But!

Xie Jiuyan’s Nurturing Technique broke the limit of physical strengthening of Domain Realm Cultivation Technique!!

In Domain Realm Cultivation, Primordial Qi nourishes the body, and the limit stops at the Third Realm!

However, Xie Jiuyan’s Cultivation Technique broke this boundary.

The reason he died was because his foundation was lacking, his foundation was established using the method of "fishing" to forcibly capture Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, so he could never truly master his Primordial Qi Nurturing Technique in his lifetime.

Unable to transform himself into a being similar to Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

He created the Nurturing Technique, but himself never mastered it.

Thus, he died.

Wu woke up before dawn.

The professional skills from the first half of his life and the recent series of events placed him in peril, making him too vigilant to relax.

So before dawn, at around four o’clock, Wu opened his eyes.

Chen Yan noticed that when this fellow woke up, he quickly regained alertness in his eyes, and his body immediately reacted naturally, slightly curling up and reaching under his pillow—where a gun was hidden.

But after Wu saw the situation in the room clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He slowly climbed out of bed and looked at Chen Yan on the other bed: "You didn’t sleep all night, did you."

Chen Yan had already put away the Jade Book and was just sitting there in meditation, nourishing the spirit. After hearing Wu’s words, he slightly opened his eyes, didn’t answer Wu’s question, but instead glanced at him, nodded, and said, "Not bad, your complexion is better than yesterday."

To ordinary people, the effect of the Bone Pill is unreasonably domineering.

A few days ago, Wu was near death, but now he seemed full of vitality, as long as he didn’t engage in strenuous activities, there were no obstacles in his daily walking, sitting, and lying.

It’s just that his complexion was still slightly pale.

Naturally, Wu also noticed the change in his body, nodded and said, "I also feel more energetic than yesterday, but... still a bit short of breath."

"That’s due to excessive blood loss," Chen Yan thought for a moment, "Find some blood-replenishing items later, eat some every day, and it will naturally get better over time."

Wu nodded.

After freshening up and resting for a while, at around six, Wu went to the next room to check on his daughter Angie. After watching Angie get up and freshen up, the three of them had a simple breakfast at a restaurant beside the motel. Then they checked out and left.

Driving southbound, they found a pharmacy on the road. Wu used cash to buy some supplements with iron and other trace elements, then returned to the car and swallowed a small packet with mineral water.

Throughout the day, Wu keenly felt the subtle response of his body.

For most people, taking supplements of trace elements doesn’t show significant effects in the short term.

But for Wu, after taking a packet both in the morning and afternoon, by the evening, his complexion was noticeably better.

Chen Yan glanced at Wu and said, "Your body’s foundation is good. The medication I used to treat your wounds repairs your body’s damages, including injuries to internal organs. If the internal organs aren’t healed, then the iron supplement only aids your body’s hematopoiesis function, speeding up blood production, leading to quicker recovery."

Wu is a person who listens to advice, so during the evening, without needing persuasion, he voluntarily ate a lot of nutritious food to replenish his body.

As night approached, the car drove into Philadelphia.

This is Pennsylvania’s largest city and also a well-known traditional industrial city in America.

However, in recent years, under America’s increasingly severe trend of industrial hollowing out, this city has declined.

Much like Detroit and Pittsburgh of the past, traditional industrial cities have largely fallen into decay.

Declining cities exhibit a common characteristic: aging and destruction of city infrastructure.

With a struggling city economy, the government lacks funds, and without funds, there’s no way to update and repair infrastructure.

Poor infrastructure further deteriorates economic and living environments, prompting the wealthy to move away, creating a vicious cycle.

At night, as the car entered the streets of Philadelphia, Chen Yan could see dirty roads and rusted, damaged garbage bins.

Wu had taken over driving because Chen Yan wasn’t familiar with this place.

The car was moving at a moderate speed, but the streets were visibly desolate and quiet. Cities in America often exhibit this; many neighborhoods become empty at night due to poor security.

However, Chen Yan noticed two wild dogs running across an alley.

It was apparent that due to lack of funding, even departments managing stray animals were heavily cut and couldn’t operate properly.

The car entered an old-looking street and parked beside a three-story old building.

Wu glanced at the building, then cautiously started the car again, driving into a narrow alley behind the building to park.

"Here we are."

Wu’s expression visibly relaxed a bit.

Chen Yan noticed that Wu was looking at a street-facing window on the third floor, beside which a vase was placed.

·

This was a so-called "safe house" Wu had prepared for himself.

Considering his former occupation, as cunning as a rabbit with multiple hideouts, he would always prepare an "escape route" like this for himself.
