After around 10 minutes, Shi Lei took out the needles and ordered Guan Haiping to change his position to a lying down position. He took 18 more needles and filled the remaining 18 acupoints.

After all this commotion, the sky outside had almost turned dark.

After piercing 108 meridians, Shi Lei's footsteps were a little shaky. When he helped Guan Haiping up, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Guan Haiping quickly supported him and asked with concern: "Is Mister alright?"

Shi Lei didn't even have the strength to speak, he could only slowly shake his head, then sat down on the ground.

Half an hour passed. Guan Haiping had been watching by the side the whole time, not daring to make a sound, afraid to disturb him.

Receiving the cup, Shi Lei took a sip, wiped his mouth and said: "You almost took my life, tsk, your disease, is truly amazing!"

Guan Haiping's face was filled with guilt, "To drag Mister to such a state, I … I'm really sorry. "

"It's fine, don't forget it." Shi Lei waved his hand: "How are you feeling now?"

"Comfortable!" It's been so many years since I've felt this comfortable. Mister's medical skills are superb! "

Shi Lei laughed and said: "It won't have much of an effect if you see it once. In a few days, your old illness will recur. How about this, I will treat you three times a week in the future."

Looking at this crappy store, Shi Lei said, "Next time, come to my house for acupuncture, your environment is really..."

Guan Haiping bowed deeply, "I will listen to Sir, wherever Sir wants to go, I will go!"

Before leaving, Guan Haiping insisted to treat Shi Lei to a meal, but Shi Lei rejected it, saying that he made food at home.

Thinking about the long term, Guan Haiping did not persist anymore. He returned to his room and took out the Copperball, then respectfully handed it over to Shi Lei.

Shi Lei evaded the question and said, "This disease of yours can be cured in a year or so. There is no guarantee that something might go wrong between them.

Guan Haiping who was practicing martial arts, had a short temper and a straight personality. He pushed the Copperball forward forcefully: "Mister must keep this! "From today's incident, I can see that I can only rely on Mister for my illness. Therefore, this thing belongs to you sooner or later, and also belongs to you later. Why don't you give it to me later!"

Shi Lei understood that she was afraid that he would stop the treatment. Giving his the benefits in advance was equivalent to giving his a precaution.

In order to let him feel at ease, he received the Copperball with a smile.

Seeing that he was willing to accept it, a stone in Guan Haiping's heart dropped to the ground.

After entering the house, it was already 11pm.

Shi Lei realized that Chen Yurou had not slept yet, so he prepared some midnight snacks and snacks and placed them on the table. While watching the TV, he waited for to come back.

Shi Lei sat down next to Chen Yurou, opened his mouth to take the cake that his wife passed to him, took a bite and said: "Where's Mom? "Did you sleep?"

Chen Yurou nodded. "I'm asleep, try this biscuit again. It's specially baked for you."

Shi Lei took a bite, and praised: "Sweet."

Chen Yurou said, "Sweet? I'm afraid it's too sweet, you can't get used to it. "

Shi Lei laughed: "I'm used to eating, no matter how sweet it is, it's not as sweet as your small mouth."

After she finished speaking, she kissed Chen Yurou's red lips.

The more he kissed, the more emotional he became. In the end, Shi Lei picked her up and walked towards his bedroom.

After the wind and rain stopped, Chen Yurou slept soundly. When Shi Lei saw her wife's smiling face in her sleep, he thought to himself, This is the life that I want to live.

Eight years of marriage, eight years of suffering, everything was for nothing!

After staring at the Sleeping Beauty for a while, Shi Lei reluctantly got off the bed and quietly went into the living room. He took out the Copperball from his jacket pocket on the clothes rack.

Ever since he obtained this from Guan Haiping, he had not had the time to study it. During the day, his mother-in-law was always at home.

It would not be appropriate to go out and do all this in public. The only thing he could do was to take a look while the mother and daughter were sleeping.

At this time, with the Copperball in his hand, Shi Lei could feel a pure energy surging inside.

It is very easy for a person's body to be trained. As long as one has the right method, one can cultivate a full body of steel and even have good talent and fortuitous encounters. It isn't impossible for one to reach invulnerability.

However, it was very difficult to train one's soul. Not to mention training, ordinary people would not even be able to sense the existence of their soul.

People with strong souls would possess all sorts of superpowers, such as the Chen Ancestor. After death, they could store a fragment of their soul in a jade pendant and also give their life experiences to others.

Right now, Shi Lei could only digest what he had gotten from the Chen Ancestor. He could not even comprehend a single thing, there were many profound truths that he had received from the Chen Ancestor, his powers were limited and he couldn't see nor grasp.

For example, "evil disease".

Evil disease was not a feudal superstition like many people imagined. It was a demonic language used to bewitch the masses. In fact, it was only one of the many diseases in traditional Chinese medicine.

Since ancient times, there were many books about "dispelling evil" in the Chinese medical classics, such as the Yellow Emperor's Internal Canon of Classics, the theory of typhoid fever, the "Acupuncture Jia Yi Classic" and so on. However, as time went by, due to various reasons, the parts that were passed down in these classics had their flaws, and the content of dealing with evil diseases could not be seen much.

On the other hand, even if they saw it, most of the modern world would have thought it was the imagination of the ancients.

After mastering everything he had learned in the Chen Ancestor, Shi Lei knew that many of the diseases that the hospitals could not treat or even heard of belonged to the category of demonic diseases. He was very interested in this, but he did not know how to begin.

Although he had inherited this part of the knowledge, it was as if there was a barrier in his mind that forbade him to touch it.

It was probably due to his lack of ability in certain aspects. It would only bring him harm if he came into contact with these things too early. It would not bring him any benefits.

He didn't know if the soul essence of the Copperball could help him make up for his deficiencies.

With that in mind, Shi Lei brought the Copperball to the balcony and sat cross-legged on the ground.

Unknowingly, a few hours passed.

What Shi Lei did not see, was that the Copperball's soul essence suddenly lit up, and specks of light after specks of light followed the empty air around the ball, and floated out little by little, flying towards Shi Lei's dantian, before disappearing without a trace.

Shi Lei couldn't see it, but he could feel it.

Through his inner vision, he found that there was a shadow within his body.

At first, the shadow was vague and indistinct, like a ball of fog. It was hard to tell what shape it was, but as a ray of light was sucked into the dantian, it gradually merged with the shadow and became solid.

In the end, Shi Lei discovered that it was a human form. Once the Copperball's soul essence had been completely absorbed, this human form would become even more "concrete", so much so that his facial features and eyebrows could be seen clearly.

It was a 'virtual' version of himself!

It was a wonderful feeling, like looking in a mirror in a bathroom shrouded in fog. The person in the mirror was the same size and looks as him, but it was not very real because of the water vapor.

Shi Lei knew that this was his own soul.

It seemed that after absorbing the Copperball's soul essence, he would be able to sense the existence of the soul.

Following that, Shi Lei's interest was piqued, and he did all sorts of experiments.

He discovered that the soul in his body was telepathically connected to him, and he could use his consciousness to 'command' him.

If he was asked to sit down, he would sit down, and if he was told to squat, he would squat down and let him execute a set of punches.

Shi Lei was having fun, but when he regained his senses, the sun had already risen.

After sitting on the balcony for the whole night, Shi Lei's waist and legs were neither sore nor numb. Furthermore, he was not tired either.

Opening his eyes and awakening from his inner sight, he discovered that his intuition had become exceptionally sharp.

For example, he didn't even need to go out of the room to feel his mother-in-law cooking breakfast in the kitchen. He could even roughly feel her every move and what was around her.

For example, in the bedroom next to the balcony, he could vaguely see a person lying on the bed. It was Chen Yurou.

Then, an even stranger scene occurred.

Just as Shi Lei was about to stand up, a fly flew past him with a "Buzz Buzz". Shi Lei subconsciously rolled his eyes in an attempt to follow the fly.

Then, he discovered …

Its flying speed had become slower!

It was just like the slow movements in a movie, moving forward slowly and carefully. He could even see the movements from up to down every time he flapped his wings!

"Tsk tsk."

Shi Lei smacked his lips, feeling that it was extremely mysterious. Then, he tried to ignore the fly, so its speed returned back to normal and with a "weng" sound, it flew away.

Shi Lei knew that it was not that the fly had slowed down just now, but rather that his own attention had become more acute. As long as he focused his mind on a certain place, all the details, time passing by, and the movements of the surrounding objects would all become visible to him.

Just now, if he had wanted to catch that fly, it would have been a piece of cake.

Shi Lei was a little excited.

The effect of this Soul Essence was simply heaven-defying!

Would he be able to dodge the bullet now?

If so, wouldn't he be invincible?
