Immortality begins in Goose City

Chapter 55 Two Female College Students

Unfortunately, lacking extraordinary items specific to cranes, evolution is not yet possible.

Huang Shujian let out a soft sigh, feeling slightly regretful. He had asked Hu Wan to search for the extraordinary cranes, but there had been no news.

Goose City is located in Lingnan, and animals like white cranes are indeed rare there.

suddenly!

A sudden throbbing sensation came from the sole of my left foot, at the Yongquan acupoint!

It was as if a spring that had been blocked for a long time was gently opened by a warm current!

Immediately afterwards, a warm current, much more pronounced and smoother than when I first opened my senses, gushed out from the Yongquan acupoint on my left foot, flowing upwards along the meridians of my calf and inner thigh.

Quickly connect with the previously opened acupoints: Laogong on the left hand, Baihui on the top of the head, and two acupoints on the right hand and right foot!

The five acupoints, like five stars in the night sky, are instantly illuminated and connected by invisible threads!

An indescribable feeling of comfort instantly swept over my entire body!

My limbs and bones felt as if they had been washed by warm spring water, leaving me feeling light, clear, and with my blood and energy flowing freely without any stagnation.

Between the hands, feet, and head, a more stable and efficient internal circulation is subtly forming.

With every gesture, the transmission of energy becomes more fluid and effortless, and the control over the body reaches a new level.

Huang Shujian slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and bright.

He clenched his fist, feeling the surging yet freely flowing power within his body.

"All five orifices are open... Success!"

In martial arts cultivation, the stages of enlightenment are traditionally divided into the lower five apertures, the upper five apertures, and the two apertures of life and nature.

The five lower orifices are mainly distributed at the ends of the limbs and the top of the head. Once they are opened, the circulation of qi and blood begins, the control of the body is greatly enhanced, and strength flows freely.

Now that he has mastered all five orifices, he has crossed the threshold and officially entered the cultivation stage of the upper five orifices!

The five upper orifices are located in more hidden places, involving deeper levels of nourishment and strengthening of the five internal organs. Opening each orifice is more difficult, but the improvement it brings is also more significant.

As for the final two vital orifices, they are even more mysterious, concerning the ultimate harmony between spirit and body, and are the key to reaching the Qi Absorption stage.

Feeling the new changes within his body, Huang Shujian felt a sense of peace.

Enhancing our strength is the fundamental way to deal with this increasingly unpredictable situation.

He got up, stretched his limbs, and his joints crackled and popped, like the prelude to a muffled thunderclap.

My gaze drifted out the window to the sky over Goose City.

The mystery of Lan Xiaodie, the trail of the headless zombie, the origin of the mysterious black woman, and the unresolved assassin of the Heart-Shattering Palm...

……

Xiuer, who was standing nearby, began to report:

"Young master, I just went to the small garden and told Liu San of the Yellow Crane Restaurant about your situation these past few days. He gave Xiuer a silver dollar."

He even specifically asked, "Young Master, what level have you reached in your martial arts cultivation?"

"Xiuer thought this wasn't a secret, so she said, 'Young Master, you've opened four orifices.'"

Huang Shujian nodded, not surprised.

He probably had a good idea of ​​who was behind Liu San.

These messages were deliberately leaked to certain individuals.

"Hmm, not bad," he said casually. "Here's two pieces of silver."

Xiuer's eyes lit up, and she smiled and replied "Thank you, young master," before naturally walking to the desk and opening the drawer.

There was Huang Shujian's everyday wallet.

She skillfully opened it, counted out three shiny silver dollars, thought for a moment, put one back, and pocketed the other two.

After doing all this, she remembered something and said again:

"By the way, young master, I just went to the main building to report your situation to the master."

"As it turned out, at the door, we saw Master Lu from the Lu family in the south of the city arrive, and he was talking to the master in the study."

"I saw they were talking about something, so I didn't go in and came straight back."

"The Lu family?" Huang Shujian raised an eyebrow.

The Black Tiger Gang's backers are the Lu family, one of the two major families in the south of the city.

Last night, the Black Tiger Gang was wiped out by a headless zombie, and today Lu Ningyuan personally came to visit Huang Silang?

Huang Shujian tapped his fingers lightly on the table, lost in thought.

Just then, soft footsteps came from outside the door.

Zhao Ming swayed her chest as she walked in with some difficulty.

She seemed to have gradually adapted to the role of a maid; although she was still somewhat reserved, her movements were much more disciplined.

"Young Master," she said softly, "Daiyu and Qingwenzi from the main building have come to deliver a message, saying that the Master requests your presence in the study."

"Understood," Huang Shujian replied, standing up from the bathtub.

Zhao Ming's cheeks flushed instantly, and she quickly lowered her head, almost burying her face in her chest.

Xiuer, on the other hand, was not surprised at all. She quickly picked up the clean clothes that were folded next to her and came over to help Huang Shujian change.

Dressed neatly, Huang Shujian pushed open the door and stepped out.

At the entrance of the courtyard stood a woman dressed in a light purple maid's uniform, with a gentle and graceful demeanor. She was none other than Daiyu Qingwenzi, Huang Silang's head maid.

This name was given by Huang Silang; he wanted a fancy name.

"Young Master Shujian," Daiyu Qingwenzi said, curtsying slightly in a gentle voice.

"Let's go." Huang Shujian gestured for her to lead the way.

The two walked one after the other along the corridor leading to the main building.

Daiyu and Qingwenzi lagged slightly behind, explaining the situation quickly and clearly in low voices as they walked:

"Young Master, Master Lu has come to visit you with his daughter Lu Yu and another girl who says she is Lu Yu's classmate."

"The master is currently having tea and talking with Master Lu in the study."

"Master has instructed that you, young master, come over and... accompany the two young ladies around the manor and have a chat."

Huang Shujian kept walking, but his brows furrowed slightly.

In the original owner's memories, she did not have a deep impression of Lu Yu, the daughter of the Lu family.

All I remember is that he was a bookworm who loved reading and had a somewhat rigid and introverted personality. He always kept his distance from the original owner's dissolute lifestyle and even showed obvious disgust.

A few years ago, Lu Yu went to study in Wanghai City, and the two never saw each other again.

"It was the two young ladies who brought it up themselves."

Daiyu and Qingwenzi paused for a moment, then added.

"But it wasn't Miss Lu Yu, it was her classmate."

"Classmate?" Huang Shujian paused slightly.

Lu Yu's classmate?

A stranger offered to meet me?

This was somewhat unexpected.

"Yes, young master." Daiyu and Qingwenzi nodded. "That young lady doesn't look like she's from Goose City."

Huang Shujian didn't ask any more questions, but he became more wary.

Lu Ningyuan's visit today was already strange, and now there's another female classmate who's taken the initiative to see him...

Soon, the two arrived outside the study in the main building.

Daiyu and Qingwenzi gently knocked on the door, then pushed it open and stepped aside to let Huang Shujian in.

The aroma of tea wafted through the study.

Huang Silang and Lu Ningyuan sat on two armchairs, separated by a small tea table with a purple clay tea set on it.

Lu Ningyuan was in his sixties, with a white beard, wearing a silk robe, and a slick smile typical of businessmen.

Two young women were sitting on the sofa by the window.

Both were dressed in the most common attire for female students at the time: a white stand-up collar shirt, a dark blue knee-length pleated skirt, and black cloth shoes.

They all wore two jet-black, glossy braids that hung down in front of their chests.
