Threatening me with my own liver?

Have you lost all humanity?

The supervisory enforcer’s heart blazed with fury.

But under the current circumstances, he could only let the other party have their way. If things got too extreme, he’d risk it all and take the other down with him.

Like cures like.

Cultivating with spiritual power is like drinking water; with spirit stones, it’s like eating grass; but cultivating with another cultivator is like feasting on meat…

In no time at all, Du Ge’s cultivation level began to climb steadily. The spiritual power he had transferred to Dancong was quickly replenished. Peak of Divine Transformation, early stages of Void Refinement, mid-stages of Void Refinement…

Finally.

Du Ge’s cultivation stabilized at the mid-stage of Void Refinement and ceased to rise.

The flow of spiritual power between the two stopped.

The supervisory enforcer’s expression shifted from surprise to shock: “You… you just… broke through to the Void Refinement Realm…”

“Thanks to your blessing,” Du Ge said with a smile.

“Is this how you’ve always advanced in your cultivation?” the supervisory enforcer asked.

“Pretty much! The Medicine Immortal Sect established a spiritual power mutual aid alliance, where the spiritual power of every cultivator who joins is averaged out among the members,” Du Ge explained with a chuckle, “Supervisory Enforcer, if you join, and later find someone with higher cultivation than yourself, the spiritual power you lost today will be replenished.”

“Is this a cultivation technique?” the supervisory enforcer asked in astonishment, “Has the Medicine Immortal Sect developed such an evil technique?”

“How can you call it evil?” Du Ge retorted with a glance, “This is about equality for all beings, a blessing for all cultivators struggling with poor talent, a fair technique, alright?

So, are you willing to join us or not? Join us, and we’ll reattach your limbs and liver for free. But in return, once you’ve recovered, you’ll need to bring someone with higher cultivation than yourself to join us, and we’ll all share their power…”

“…”

Dancong’s eyes widened. It wasn’t destruction, nor was it dismantling; neither of these keywords had the effect of absorbing others’ power. So what was his keyword?

Equality?

But what kind of advanced skill derived from a keyword like equality could counter his own skill?

“Impossible, I won’t engage in such evil deeds. Your methods are demonic. Once exposed, you’ll be rejected by everyone,” the supervisory enforcer declared, “Eventually, becoming the enemy of the world, the spiritual power you’ve gained will not be safeguarded. You’re playing with fire.”

“If you don’t tell, and I don’t tell, how could anyone else possibly know?” Du Ge countered, “Before today, if I hadn’t told you, would you have known about such a technique within the Medicine Immortal Sect? Don’t you want to replenish the spiritual power you’ve lost? Are you content with being just a minor supervisory enforcer at the supervisory institution?”

“…” The supervisory enforcer’s eyebrows trembled slightly. He interrupted Du Ge, asking, “If I don’t join your alliance, will I die?”

“Why do you always misunderstand us?” Du Ge looked at the supervisory enforcer curiously, “The Medicine Immortal Sect saves lives, not takes them. If you refuse, we won’t kill you, but we’ll definitely find a way to make you agree. To be honest, so far, no one has been able to refuse our invitation. In fact, many from your supervisory institution are part of our alliance. I’ll introduce them to you later…”

The supervisory enforcer’s mouth twitched as he looked at Du Ge, suddenly unsure of what to say.

Sigh!

Dancong inwardly sighed, once again feeling the bleakness of his future.

Wang Chong had revealed such a secret in his presence, likely meaning he wouldn’t be allowed to leave.

Fortunately, he had written quite a few poems before. Once those poems spread, his attributes would continue to grow.

He made up his mind.

To live!

To live is to have a chance.

…

Now on par with the supervisory enforcer in both power and realm, and with the realm’s enhancement, Du Ge no longer feared him. Plucking feathers from a passing goose, he snatched the leg from the enforcer’s hand and casually stuffed his liver back to him, saying, “Let’s go.”

“Where to?” Two voices asked simultaneously.

“To the Medicine Immortal Sect! We’ve got to reattach your scattered pieces, haven’t we?”

Du Ge reached out and swept up the scattered limbs with the supervisory enforcer’s clothes he had stripped off earlier, and flew into the sky on his sword.

He had wanted to fly like the supervisory enforcer, but after trying, he found it too strenuous, nowhere near as efficient as sword flying.

The supervisory enforcer must be using a special technique. When it came time for surgery, he’d ask about it…

Speaking of which, he should learn surgery himself.

Harvest on-site, suture on-site.

No need to return to Medicine Immortal Valley, many procedures could be simplified. He couldn’t rely on his senior and junior brothers for everything…

The supervisory enforcer, using his spiritual power, dressed himself with the clothes Du Ge had stripped off, carefully protecting his liver with his remaining hand, and flew up into the sky, following behind Du Ge.

“What about me?” Dancong asked, hopping from foot to foot.

Du Ge glanced down and said to the supervisory enforcer with a smile, “Would you mind taking him along?”

Dancong didn’t know the techniques of cultivation. Holding onto him would cause a continuous leak of spiritual power. Better to leave it for his own people than for this ungrateful fellow.

The supervisory enforcer glanced at Dancong with impatience, wrapped him up with spiritual power, and pulled him into the air.

Having reached the Void Refinement Realm, the supervisory enforcer’s manipulation and use of spiritual power became even more intuitive. To those unaware of the details, it looked almost like magic.

Du Ge watched the supervisory enforcer’s method of carrying people, pausing for a moment, further solidifying his intention to inquire about the technique on the operating table.

The techniques of Medicine Immortal Valley were falling behind after his ascension to the Void Refinement Realm.

The supervisory enforcer’s method of using spiritual power also inspired him. Using spiritual power to grab someone, avoiding direct contact, should prevent the loss of power.

Dancong, suspended in midair, his face pale with fright, pleaded, “Supervisory Enforcer, please keep a hold on me, don’t let go, I’m still useful!”

The supervisory enforcer ignored him completely. His hatred for Du Ge had already shifted to Dancong. If it weren’t for him, how could he have ended up in such a state? He had no intention of showing any kindness!

Du Ge also ignored Dancong below. Without arms and pen and paper, this one had become useless. Compared to him, his skills were far inferior.

“May I ask for the supervisory enforcer’s esteemed name?” Du Ge inquired.

“Chen Da.” The supervisory enforcer replied expressionlessly, not keen on conversation. He was pondering the mutual aid association mentioned by Wang Chong.

It had to be said, the techniques of the Medicine Immortal Sect hit a nerve. Most cultivators would not be able to resist such temptation.

To let them continue to grow…

One day, they would surely cause a catastrophe in the cultivation world.

Not just Wang Chong.

But also that Dancong below.

The abilities displayed by the two were vastly different from the current cultivation world.

Yet Wang Chong had precisely located Dancong and, despite the risk of exposing himself, launched an attack…

And after declaring himself a member of the Medicine Immortal Sect, Dancong immediately called out his name.

This was clearly no coincidence!

In the dark, Chen Da felt that there was an undercurrent in the cultivation world beyond their control. He felt it necessary to convey this information, to alert the supervisory institution to be on guard.

…

On the way back to the Medicine Immortal Sect.

Du Ge encountered Li Anjiang and Yao Liang, who were hurrying back.

They had returned with a resolve to die for his sake, but upon seeing the disheveled supervisory enforcer holding his own liver, they were both dumbfounded.

Then, their admiration for their seventh junior brother soared to the skies.

To subdue a Void Refinement Realm supervisory enforcer single-handedly, the seventh junior brother was truly a monstrous talent.

He made the chaotic talents of the world pale in comparison.

The path of medicine should flourish.

…

Back at Medicine Immortal Valley, Du Ge began to reward his fellow sect brothers.

Firstly.

The three at the Divine Transformation Realm, including Li Anjiang, were elevated to their peak by his spiritual power, just short of breaking through to become masters of the Void Refinement Realm.

In just a few days.

None of the Elderly at the peak of the Elemental Infant Realm had managed to break through, left to sigh in longing.

The exceptionally talented seventh junior brother had just broken through to the Elemental Infant Realm. Du Ge casually raised his realm to the peak of the Elemental Infant Realm, and the seventh junior brother had to enter seclusion again, aiming for the Divine Transformation Realm.

It must be said.

The seventh junior brother’s talent was truly excellent.

Du Ge’s mission to act for heaven was best assisted by these talented individuals who advanced rapidly through the realms.

Unable to elevate the power of the many Elders, Du Ge turned his attention to the second and third generation disciples of the Medicine Immortal Sect, raising their power to the peak of their respective realms.

He even helped many patients improve their realms, earning a wave of nobility and developing a wave of followers.

This series of actions forcibly pulled Chen Da from the mid-stage back to the early stage of Void Refinement.

Even so, Chen Da still refused to join the spiritual power mutual aid alliance, not even verbally compromising.

But when Du Ge, on the operating table, used him for practice, reattaching his liver, then removing his stomach and reattaching it, and then the small intestine…

For an entire day, his opened belly never closed.

Without the suppression of spiritual power, he would have been tormented to death.

When Du Ge on the operating table suggested the possibility of removing the head to see if it could be reattached…

All of Chen Da’s pride was shattered, and he joined Du Ge’s spiritual power mutual aid alliance without hesitation.

At that moment, he finally understood why Wang Chong had said that no one could refuse to join the mutual aid association. Such torture, more cruel than any punishment, which cultivator could endure it?

When Du Ge shook his hand, congratulating him on making the right decision, announcing him as an Elder of the spiritual power mutual aid alliance, and reinstalled all his organs back in place.

Chen Da felt reborn, lying on the hospital bed, inexplicably at ease.

In that moment, he even felt grateful to Wang Chong.

The sense of righteousness in his heart, along with his gratitude towards Wang Chong, was cast aside.

Building bridges and roads without a corpse, committing arson for a golden belt.

At this moment, Chen Da had only one thought: to hell with the supervisory institution, everyone should join the spiritual power mutual aid alliance, and let everyone suffer the same fate…
