Upon returning home, Zhang Youwei locked himself in the study.

To prevent his wife and daughter from discovering his illness, he had arranged for them to travel around the world.

Even so, he was still used to locking himself in his room. In order to keep this secret, he could not be too cautious.

After sitting down in the spacious study, Zhang Youwei took out [The Basics of Spiritual Energy Circulation] and placed it on the table.

He rubbed his slightly swollen temples and felt somewhat exhausted. He did not expect that after he had been sentenced to death by the hospital, he would still get a slim chance of survival.

Even more unexpectedly, this so-called chance of survival was actually immortal cultivation! This was too absurd.

Even if he accepted this matter, he still felt that it was absurd. However, he had already gone this far. How could he give up at this point?

After adjusting his mood, Zhang Youwei took a deep breath and looked at [The Basics of Spiritual Energy Circulation] on his desk. At this point, he could only treat it as a last resort!

However, after turning to the first page, Zhang Youwei was stunned.

He thought this so-called immortal cultivation technique would contain a bunch of obscure and complicated chants and incantations. However, the contents of this book were not what he had imagined.

To be more precise, there was not a single word. There were only pictures.

Surpris, Zhang Youwei turned a few more pages.

The second page, the third page, the fourth page… They were all pictures! That’s right. He had spent three million yuan on buying a comic book!

Bang!

At this moment, Zhang Youwei couldn’t hold it in any longer. He clenched his fists and hammered the desk hard. Then, he threw [The Basics of Spiritual Energy Circulation] away, and it smashed against the wall.

Then, Zhang Youwei felt a throbbing pain in his body.

He had been tricked!

Zhang Youwei’s eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness. He achieved what he did today because he did not shy away from dirty deeds in the beginning. Although he had cleaned up his act now and the entire enterprise was clean, if he wanted to take revenge on someone, he really had endless ways!

Just as he was thinking about how to torture the young shop owner, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the study, followed by the worried voice of Nanny Wu, “Master, is everything okay?”

Obviously, the sound of Zhang Youwei hammering the table just now was heard outside.

Zhang Youwei adjusted his breathing and tried his best not to let his voice be affected by anger and pain, “It’s nothing. Please carry on.”

Outside the door, Nanny Wu hesitated for a moment before finally answering, “Yes, Master.”

Then, there was the sound of distant footsteps.

After being affected by this small episode, Zhang Youwei’s mood had somewhat recovered.

Zhang Youwei, who had calmed down, stared at the blue book that had fallen to the ground. Eventually, he walked over and picked it up.

Even though Zhang Youwei already felt that he had been deceived, his desire to live was strong. He would still like to try, even if it was just a one-in-a-billion chance.

Well, if it is a comic book, then so be it. He had already bought it, so it would not harm to try it.

If there were no effect after practicing, he would make that bookstore owner’s life a living hell!

Zhang Youwei’s eyes revealed a ruthless look once again.

After organizing his thoughts, Zhang Youwei flipped through the comic book again and began to study it seriously.

The movements on the first few pages were coherent, which required sitting down, like a meditation pose.

Zhang Youwei hesitated for a moment.

Even though this was a study with no one else, it was still unacceptable for an outstanding wealthy entrepreneur like him to follow those strange poses.

After preparing himself mentally, Zhang Youwei began to try it.

Although it was a bit clumsy and awkward, everything became simple after doing the last pose of the first set of movements – meditation. He just needed to remain seated.

Zhang Youwei, who was sitting on the floor, was extremely puzzled.

How did he get to this point? What exactly went wrong?

However, just as he was silently thinking, he was surprised to find that a warm sensation seemed to have appeared in his body.

This feeling was delightful!

He was slightly stunned and opened his eyes in surprise.

The warmth immediately disappeared and was replaced by the pain that had been tormenting him during this period.

Zhang Youwei had been enduring this pain for a long time and felt that he was somewhat used to it. After feeling a brief moment of comfort without the pain, Zhang Youwei suddenly found this pain difficult to endure.

He couldn’t help but wonder in his heart, “Could it be that [The Basics of Spiritual Energy Circulation] is real?! That warmth that I felt…”

Thinking of this, Zhang Youwei swallowed a mouthful of saliva and immediately began doing that set of movements again.

When he sat down, the pain eased again, and the warmth appeared again!

It was true! Zhang Youwei was extremely shocked.

If the first time was an illusion, then the same phenomenon appearing twice a row was enough to prove it.

When he thought of the young shop owner’s extraordinary temperament, Zhang Youwei could not help but feel a sense of awe in his heart. At the same time, he was joyful and excited.

He thought that he was about to die and even made the absurd decision of placing his hopes on a comic book.

It turned out that this decision was actually right. He had grasped the hope of life!
