“Do you think it might be related to your X-ray vision?” Stanley Batton asked.Stanley’s words immediately shocked Xyla Quest… Xyla suddenly started suspecting that it might just be the case.Her symptoms only started after she acquired the X-ray vision.Was this a coincidence?It didn’t seem that way…The X-ray vision was very mystical, and it couldn’t be explained by science at all.Meanwhile, Xyla’s illness was also the same.It didn’t seem impossible for the two to be related.Otherwise, why would Xyla be like this?“Now that you mention, I do think it’s possible…” Xyla said.Back then, Xyla was also exposed to information about X-ray vision in television dramas and novels.In those works of fiction, people who had X-ray vision would use a lot of energy to utilize it.Once they used up the energy, problems would begin to arise in the protagonists’ bodies.Although Xyla knew that it was all made up, she didn’t think she necessarily needed to dismiss it completely…Ho
Yaksha was wearing a white overall.Due to the broad outfit, it made him appear unusually thin.When a breeze with a thick medicinal scent blew over, it entered Xyla Quest’s nostrils.Although the scent was overwhelming, Xyla didn’t feel bothered by it.That was because she had already gotten used to it.When Yaksha saw Xyla and Stanley Batton, he immediately smiled naturally… After that, Yaksha quickly walked up to them and bowed deeply to the two of them.Seeing this, Xyla instantly helped Yaksha up. “Don’t do this… You’re older than us. We really can’t bear it…”Although Yaksha said that he was indebted to Xyla’s family, Xyla felt that an old man shouldn’t behave so humbly toward her regardless of the favor that had been done for him.Besides, he was indebted to her family and not her.Yaksha smiled. “I’m indebted to your family… You must accept the way I treat you… Besides, it’s what I should do anyway.”Xyla immediately shook her head. “Don’t say that… You’re indebted
Yaksha continued to examine Xyla Quest for approximately ten minutes.Ten minutes later, Yaksha slowly let go of Xyla.He didn’t start speaking immediately. Instead, he subconsciously looked around.After making sure that nobody was around, he looked at Stanley Batton. “Can you go out for a while? There’s something I want to tell her privately…”There were things Yaksha wasn’t sure if Xyla had told Stanley. Hence, he needed Stanley to step away.When Stanley heard this, he immediately stood up. “Alright,” he said.Xyla instantly looked at Stanley. “You don’t have to leave,” she said.No matter what it was, Xyla didn’t want to keep it from Stanley. That was because there was no reason to do so.With that, Xyla looked at Yaksha. “He’s my husband, and he has the right to know everything… There isn’t any secret between us. Hence, you can just say whatever you want to tell me,” Xyla said.Yaksha nodded after hearing this. He intentionally lowered his voice. “Have you encountered an
Xyla Quest had never heard of this in real life.However, due to her own sufficiently mystical experiences, Xyla found the things Yaksha mentioned somewhat acceptable.“Meanwhile, your recent experiences of dizziness and even directly passing out is all because you’re close to using up all the spiritual energy in your body.“If you don’t receive treatment as soon as possible, you’ll die once your spiritual energy is used up,” Yaksha continued to warn Xyla. “Hence, I hope you won’t keep anything from me… Even if everyone in the world betrays you, I will never…”Hearing this, Xyla and Stanley Batton both became extremely concerned.“How were you able to identify all this?” Xyla immediately asked.Yaksha smiled calmly. “That’s because I couldn’t find anything wrong with your body from your pulse… That’s why I concluded that if there were a problem, it’d surely be due to these reasons…“People who are running out of spiritual energy display the symptoms that you have…” Yaksha added.
“Even if you don’t use it, it’ll silently absorb the spiritual energy in your body… And when you start using it, it’ll absorb even more greedily… “If you use the X-ray vision frequently, your spiritual energy will be depleted very quickly. Using it three times is enough to use up a quarter of your spiritual energy…“Hence, I suggest that you go to places like mountain areas and rivers to absorb earthly spiritual essence twice a day for an hour if you use the X-ray vision frequently…“When you’re not using the X-ray vision, you can sit in a place with mountains and rivers for an hour bi-weekly… That way, there shouldn’t be any problem,” Yaksha explained carefully with an earnest look in his eyes.Xyla Quest immediately understood after listening to what he said.She quickly jotted down everything Yaksha mentioned in her phone’s notes app.After recording everything, she turned to look at Yaksha. “In that case, is there any way for me to check how much spiritual energy I have left
Xyla Quest could sense that Yaksha was avoiding her question, and he was trying to divert her attention…However, since he didn’t want to talk about it, Xyla knew that he wouldn’t tell her no matter how she asked him.Hence, Xyla changed the topic right away. “In that case, let me ask you something else… I’ve seen in novels and television dramas that spiritual energy is used for cultivation.“Once someone acquires enough spiritual energy, one would be able to turn into a saint… Meanwhile, with enough saint energy, one could become a deity and live forever…“I wonder if that happens in the real world?” Xyla asked.“That isn’t far off from reality, but you still can’t start cultivating yet…” Yaksha said.To be honest, Xyla didn’t want to become a deity all that badly. She was only asking these questions out of curiosity.However, after hearing what Yaksha said, she became even more curious.“Why?” Xyla asked.“I’ll tell you about this next time…” Yaksha didn’t answer her questio
Xyla Quest was shocked by what Yaksha said.Did such a thing exist?Did that mean Stanley Batton also had an empty spiritual root? Was his body also suitable for cultivation?However, after being stunned for a moment, Xyla began to feel afraid in hindsight.She didn’t dare to imagine what would’ve happened to Stanley if he didn’t possess an empty spiritual root and still slept next to her every day.Would he have already died?Or would he have fallen terribly ill?Thankfully, god had also blessed him with an empty spiritual root…“Not only do people with empty spiritual roots cultivate faster than ordinary people, but they can also use some methods of cultivation that are not available to ordinary people…“For example, one can have sex with people without spiritual roots to absorb their Chi energy and enhance their spiritual energy.“Some evil-minded people would choose an extremist path like this…” Yaksha said carefully.“We would never do that…” Xyla said confidently.“I
Xyla Quest emptied her mind. Apart from absorbing earthly spiritual essence, she didn’t think about anything else.Right then, her entire world became quiet.While she sat, Stanley Batton stood next to her. Moreover, he silently set the alarm for her.According to what Yaksha had instructed, Xyla sat there for three full hours.Three hours later, the alarm went off.Xyla slowly opened her eyes…As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Stanley sitting next to her, looking down at his work emails on his phone.Stanley was wearing a white shirt. Right then, the first three buttons of his shirt were left open.His perfect collar bones were completely exposed.Meanwhile, he had also rolled his sleeves up to his elbow. It made him appear somewhat lazy.This man seemed to be shining.Although they were clearly in a dark environment, he was still as bright as ever…At that moment, Xyla suddenly felt that her body had become very relaxed. Even when she breathed, it felt much smooth
