Wang Qiang watched as the three men were taken away by the police. He was thinking about how to respond; if the three men revealed something, he feared he wouldn't have a place to stand here.
He quietly followed them to the police station and overheard the entire interrogation through his spiritual sense. The three ultimately said nothing, not even mentioning Li Man's name.
Only then did he feel a little relieved. After the other three people were sent home, Wang Qiang thought about what to do to clean up the mess.
He first went to Li Huaide's house, and then went to Li Huaide's bed. Li Huaide was lying there, pale-faced and his lips were trembling, while his wife complained.
"What's going on? Is it really possible to encounter a ghost?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Qiang's heart skipped a beat, and he used an illusion technique. Before Li Huaide's eyes, his wife transformed into Bai Daming's corpse, charred and mushy on the backside.
It was charging towards him, baring its teeth and claws.
"Don't come any closer! It's none of my business if you don't come any closer. Besides, if you let me go, it's not like I'm the one who killed you."
Driven by extreme fear, Li Huaide screamed.
His wife was completely baffled; she was terrified.
Are you alright?
But these words, as Li Huaide heard them, became...
"Give me back my life."
Seeing Li Huaide's frenzied state, even his wife dared not approach. But in Li Hua's eyes, the world had turned into a crimson one.
All the things he had done in the past came flooding back. He was driven to a state of madness.
His wife had no choice but to call someone to take Li Huaide to the hospital that night. After a doctor's diagnosis, it was determined that Li Huaide was mentally ill and needed to be admitted to a centralized facility.
Wang Qiang, treating Xu Damao and Zhu Ziming the same way, was also deemed insane and sent to a mental hospital.
Wang Qiang felt slightly relieved after doing all this. As long as the three of them didn't speak, he would be safe.
After a long night of work, Wang Qiang felt extremely exhausted and wanted to enter the Ruyi Pool to cultivate and recover his energy.
So he stopped Qin Huairu, who wanted to go to work, and told her that the factory was in chaos, that Director Li had gone mad and had been locked up in a mental hospital.
Wang Qiang glanced at Qin Huairu and saw that she had fully recovered to her pre-cultivation level, and even improved. He couldn't help but admire Qin Huairu's remarkable recovery ability. He took some time to check on Chen Jing, but she still hadn't recovered.
Qin Huairu looked into Wang Qiang's eyes and knew what he was thinking.
Wang Qiang quietly returned to the courtyard house with Qin Huiru. Finding no one there, he went back to his room and closed the door. He then pulled Qin Huiru into his spatial dimension.
This time, Qin Huairu was quite self-aware, but she entered the Ruyi Pool. Looking at Qin Huairu's increasingly voluptuous body and alluring demeanor, he couldn't help but sigh, "What a fine vessel!"
Wang Qiang is currently practicing the "Dan Ding School," specifically the Neidan (internal alchemy) branch. It uses the human body as a "cauldron," essence and qi as the ingredients, and spirit to refine them, resulting in the union of essence and qi to form the Neidan (internal elixir).
Good "ding" (a type of ancient Chinese bronze vessel) are extremely hard to find, and some of them of poor quality are basically ruined after just one use.
Qin Huairu has a special physique and recovers very quickly. With the blessing of the Ruyi Pool, she has become the best one Wang Qiang could find at the moment.
Wang Qiang held his breath and concentrated, using his perineum as a furnace and his dantian as a cauldron, burning fire within the furnace. His primordial spirit and focused intention were the fire. Once the furnace was heated, it was the process of refining essence into qi. After the qi was refined, it was lifted up, a process called "gathering the medicine and returning it to the pot."
Thirty-three Sumeru days had passed in a short time. Qin Huairu's face was pale. Although she had the blessing of the Ruyi Pool, her Yuan Yin was consumed too much, and the Ruyi Pool's replenishment could not keep up with the consumption.
Seeing this, Wang Qiang had no choice but to give up. If they continued, Qin Huairu would likely only be a pile of bones. He picked some wild fruits from the surrounding area to replenish Qin Huairu's energy, and at the same time, he had her soak in the Ruyi Pool to recover her spirit.
After eating a bright red wild fruit, Qin Huairu's complexion slowly returned to normal, but she was still weak and could only lie in the Ruyi Pool.
Wang Qiang now felt full of energy and vitality. The scars on his body had transformed into dragon shapes, large and small, coiling around him.
At the same time, Wang Qiang was surprised to find that he had gained the ability to see through things. He looked into the Ruyi Pool and, although separated by the water, he could still see Qin Huairu's entire face.
Qin Huairu also noticed Wang Qiang's gaze. Although she felt ashamed, Qin Huairu was in a daze and couldn't muster any energy.
Using his X-ray vision, Wang Qiang discovered that Qin Huairu's body actually contained a trace of "innate fetal breath".
This is precisely the cultivation method I need to find next. With this, I can further cultivate "embryonic breathing," refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, and refining emptiness into the Dao.
However, I currently lack the extra primordial spirit to continue cultivating. I have no choice but to put this matter aside.
Watching Qin Huairu recover so quickly, her skin even becoming as delicate and smooth as a baby's, pink and rosy.
Seeing Qin Huairu's appearance, Wang Qiang knew he couldn't let her go back now, as it would arouse suspicion.
So Wang Qiang told Qin Huairu to wait there while he went out.
After seeing Wang Qiang leave, Qin Huairu went to soak in the Ruyi Pond.
She felt that the pool had a calming and invigorating effect.
I feel like I've changed a lot since I soaked in this pool.
Not only did my skin improve, but my figure also became more perfect.
Wang Qiang exited the space, and the entire courtyard was enveloped by his divine sense. Previously, he could only hear the sounds, but now he could also see the images.
It's like what was once just a listening device has now become real-time surveillance.
However, Wang Qiang discovered that this divine sense had a limited range; it was useless beyond 100 meters. Wang Qiang scanned the entire courtyard and found that apart from those who went to work or school, the rest of the people were at home doing housework.
Wang Qiang left the courtyard house and went to the mental hospital where Li Huaide, Xu Damao, and Zhu Ziming were located. Outside, Wang Qiang scanned the entire mental hospital area.
Finally, they found Li Huaide and the other two in a ward. The three of them had unfocused eyes and blank stares. There were two other people beside them, a doctor and the other wearing a black Zhongshan suit.
I overheard two people talking.
"Dr. Sun, has it always been like this?"
Dr. Sun nodded. "They've been like this ever since they were admitted. Their eyes are vacant, like they've been scared out of their wits. Section Chief Qian, what exactly do the higher-ups want to know from them?"
Section Chief Qian frowned and said, "I'm the attending physician, so I can tell you."
"In this case, the three of them are eyewitnesses, but given their current condition, they probably can't provide any more clues."
"In order to solve the case as soon as possible, I need you to cure them so that I can solve the case more effectively."
"If there are no clues, then this will probably become a cold case."
