Medical Sovereign

In actuality, the micro-organism extracted from fire-bellied salamanders was the most appropriate but there were not many after all and it was impossible to extract large amounts. Earthworms lived underground and there were too many variables in the micro-organisms in its body; the new antibiotic created with it could be unstable. As for sea cucumbers, they were expensive and not suitable for mass fishing.

Only the starfish was left. They ate shellfish and coral and were a threat to marine cultivation farms and corals. Furthermore, there were a large number of them. They were not used for food and had little medicinal value. They were the most economical choice for making a new antibiotic.

In the blink of an eye, it was already mid-October. After Ding Ning extracted the first vial of the new antibiotic, he could finally leave the laboratory. He had to go catch more species of starfish to carry out comparison experiments so that the newly developed antibiotic could be at its most effective.

Ding Luoxue had strong memories about the deserted island where she gave her chastity to Ding Ning the first time. When she heard that Ding Ning was returning there, she leaped into his arms with joy and kissed him soundly.

Ding Ning hugged her affectionately. Taking advantage of the darkness before the dawn, he took Air Force Wing No.1 to the deserted island.

After gene modification, Air Force Wing No.2 and Air Force Wing No.3 grew very quickly. In a short amount of time, they were already two-thirds the size of Air Force Wing No.1 and could already carry people. Ding Ning eagerly anticipated the day where three giant wings could soar through the sky.

Sitting on the beach of the deserted island, Luoxue leaned against Ding Ning’s shoulder with a completely unhidden smile of contentment as they waited for the sunrise.

It was also Ding Ning’s first-time watching the sunrise above the ocean. With his arms wrapped around Luoxue’s slender waist and feeling the slightly damp ocean air, he suddenly had a thought that living life like this wasn’t so bad.

Looking forward, a sliver of orange gradually appeared on the eastern horizon. As time pushed forward, the orange expanded endlessly and grew richer in color. The place where the water and the sky met had already turned purple.

Gradually, the sun poked out its head. A bright red forehead but there was no light. It seemed very, very heavy as it rose bit by bit from the surface of the ocean.

Ding Ning and Luoxue watched this sight intently. They watched as the sun finally jumped out of the ocean as if carrying a heavy burden. In an instant, it gave off a piercing light and shone brightly on the surface of the ocean. The ocean sparkled and the rays made it impossible to open one’s eyes. Around the perimeter of the red sun, the multicolored lights were all died red. The gently rolled clouds seemed like young girls dressed in red, dancing. It looked beautiful.

“So beautiful!”

Ding Luoxue exclaimed sincerely.

Ding Ning did not say anything. Watching the light work hard to climb up and slowly dissipate the darkness to illuminate the entire world, his heart felt oddly touched.

No matter how long the night was, there would eventually be the time when the clouds parted and the sun came out. In the end, light will envelop the world and shine into everyone’s hearts.

Luoxue did not wait for Ding Ning’s reply before she tilted her head to glance at him. Only now did she see that, like an old monk, he had his eyes closed and had a peaceful smile on his face as he was bathed by the sunlight. His body emanated a resplendent light as if he was a second sun.

Ding Ning felt nothing. The “Bodhi Heart Sutra” activated without his control. The double-sided Buddha that had been so dispirited these days seemed to have been injected with strength and was devouring the morning light.

Threads of purple Qi flowed through his Yang opening and entered his body. There they formed True Qi cycles and endlessly strengthened his True Qi.

This was Purple Qi from the East, the most primal and pure power in the world. It could endlessly strengthen the trace of True Qi that came from a mother’s womb, repair one’s spirit, and strengthen one’s superpower.

Understanding suddenly bloomed in Ding Ning’s mind as he concentrated on absorbing this difficult to come by opportunity. As the earth industrialized with increasing urgency, the environment became polluted, smog thickened, and spiritual aura dissipated. It was rare for humankind to have the opportunity to receive gifts from mother nature.

Even if one did have the opportunity, without that moment’s emotion and understanding, he could only gaze out at the ocean and lament his inadequacy and be unable to obtain this blessing. In other words, such an opportunity could only happen by chance and could not be sought after.

Thus Ding Ning greatly treasured this opportunity and forcibly maintained that unique state of mind as he greedily devoured the purple Qi from the east.

What he did not know was that this state of mind was known as sudden understanding in the martial world. For a martial artist, each moment of sudden understanding was a heaven-given chance to evolve and breakthrough.

The True Qi carrying traces of purple flowed through his 8 strange meridians and twelve normal meridians, endlessly cycling. The power accumulated shot toward the Dantian in his abdomen.

After an indeterminable length of time, there was a boom, as if something in his body shattered. Ding Ning only felt his body trembled and surprised joy appeared on his face. Abruptly opening his eyes, purple light suddenly shot out of his eyes, scaring Luoxue, who had been staring in a daze at his profile, into yelling out loud.

Dantian, he had finally excavated his Dantian. The True Qi in his meridians surged into his Dantian as if a dam had broken and turned into dense purplish smoke within his Dantian.

Unfortunately, with the excavation of his Dantian, it broke his previous concentration and he was unable to absorb any more of the dawn’s purple Qi. This made him click his tongue with regret.

But he knew that it was a great fortune for him to unexpectedly excavate his Dantian this time, and things could not be forced after all.

The only blight of depression in his joy was that the Dantian he had excavated was only the size of a pigeon egg, it seemed a far cry from the Dantian of legends.

The larger one’s Dantian was, the more True Qi could be stored and consequently, the more powerful one’s fighting power was. What use could this pigeon-egg sized Dantian be? The flow of one meridian was enough to fill it.

But as he continued to cultivate to re-fill the True Qi in his meridians, he found that something was not right. The True Qi in his meridians flowed endlessly into the Dantian and the hint of purple grew stronger and stronger. The Dantian seemed like a bottomless void. After accepting all of the True Qi in his meridians, there still seemed to be a very large space.

What was happening? Ding Ning activated his spiritual strength in confusion to sense his own Dantian.

With a boom, Ding Ning’s spiritual strength seemed to have entered a world filled with primal chaos. Although his senses told him the Dantian was only the size of a pigeon egg, at this moment, he seemed to have entered a boundless space.

Sumeru Mountain in a mustard seed? It was indeed so. Ding Ning’s eyes abruptly lit up. His entire body shook with excitement and he could not resist laughing out loud.

It was not until now that he realized how powerful “Bodhi Heart Sutra” was. No wonder his dad had strictly ordered him to practice it, now he understood his good intentions.

Sumeru Mountain in a mustard seed was a Buddhist saying. It meant that the tiny mustard seed could contain the enormous Sumeru Mountain. Appearances were not true, and the large and small were compatible.

From the outside, the Dantian was very small but within it was the universe, hiding within it a boundless world.

The Buddha said, “One blossom holds the world, one tree holds life, one blade of grass holds heaven, and one leaf holds the absolute. One grain of sand holds bliss, one region holds the Pure Land, one smile hold fate, and one thought holds calm.”

One flower was a universe and one body was also a universe. No matter how small or big life was, whether one saw the world in micro or macro, it was all the same world.

For the bacteria that lived in flowers, that was their world. For the giant creatures that lived outside the earth, our earth was just a soccer ball.

This was an ideology and it was the human as universe ideology that Ding Ning had always believed in. Coincidentally, it matched perfectly with Buddhist ideology.

However, after Ding Ning’s wild joy came a happy concern. How long would it take for him to fill this seemingly bottomless Dantian? Would he never be able to progress to the next realm?

Before he excavated his Dantian, he felt that the True Qi in his meridians was already very plentiful. But now he discovered that the True Qi he had thought was plentiful was nothing more than a drop in the ocean in the Dantian and counted for nothing.

Just as he was feeling frustrated, the stone man, who had not moved for a long time, emanated a beam of red light. A thought came to him, “Activate the Qi opening, eliminate the impure, construct the five crops reincarnation, activate the Yin opening, mold Dantian, distinguish life and death, Yin and Yang…”

Ding Ning had not expected to excavate his Dantian so unexpectedly and he had somehow activated two openings. Before he had time to be surprised, his expression changed and his face turned red.

Clear air rose and dirty air sank. With a splutter, a series of farts escaped. Seeing Luoxue’s strange expression, Ding Ning wanted to die from embarrassment. He covered his butt and jumped into the ocean.

Ding Luoxue could not resist covering her mouth with a laugh. Who would have thought that the serious Ding Ning would have such an embarrassing moment?

Puff, puff, puff…

Even in the water, Ding Ning’s farts continued one after another. The sound was like a crack of thunder and actually created a whirlpool in the water.

Ding Ning’s expression was very awkward. Looking at Luoxue laughing happily on the beach, he gritted his teeth. He really embarrassed himself today.

The difficult to suppress murky air continued to escape for half an hour before stopping. Ding Ning immediately felt his body relax. He had never felt so good before.

He knew that this was the Qi opening cleaning out the impure air from his body. It was like a cleaning of the spirit and changing of the essence, which brought the quality of his body one step higher.

However, looking at the bellies of the fish he had knocked unconscious with his impure air, Ding Ning’s face was as dark as a thundercloud. Now his imposing image in front of his servant girl was completely destroyed.

Gurgle!

A deep sense of hunger came to him and his stomach called out loudly. Ding Ning’s expression became even worse.

How awkward. Surely he could not eat these unconscious fish?

“Brother, I’m hungry. I’ll go see what there is to eat!”

The little servant girl seemed to have heard his stomach as well. Understanding that he might feel awkward, she quickly went to search for food after calling out.

Ding Ning wanted to stop her but remembering that this island was deserted and that Luoxue could control wild beasts, he let her go. There shouldn’t be anything dangerous.

Of course, most importantly, he was too embarrassed to face Luoxue right now. Some separation was good so that things were not too awkward.

Ding Ning crawled ashore and sat with his legs crossed, calmly sensing the changes in his body.

The double-sided Buddha was not as dispirited as before, in fact, it was very spirited and powerful. Even the black evil-faced Buddha was filled with liveliness. Gold light and black fire were both covered by a light layer of purple.

His spiritual strength reached a new level. Within a diameter of a thousand meters, no living creature escaped his notice.

He tried to use his spiritual strength to capture the fish floating on the ocean but there was no reaction. There was also a sense of unwillingness.

Was it because it was too far? Or was the fish to heavy? Ding Ning wondered. Since he should not aim too high, then he would try to move a grain of sand.

Focusing all of his concentration, he stared at a piece of sand and used his spiritual strength to move it.

Scrap!

The sand moved slightly. Ding Ning cheered and continued trying.

He wrapped his spiritual strength around the sand and said, in a low voice, “Rise!”

Puff. The grain of sand wobbled. Not only did it not rise, it also rolled toward the side.

Ding Ning’s eyes were thoughtful. The grain of sand’s movement meant that his hypothesis of using spiritual strength to move things was possible but he just couldn’t properly control his spiritual strength.

Just like a child who won millions of dollars. He was sat on a mountain of wealth but did not know how to spend it.
