Chapter 276: Chapter 204: Becoming a Test Subject is Your Good Fortune

The afternoon sun shone through the partially drawn curtains, casting a mottled light across the wooden floor, adding a touch of laziness to the cozy yet slightly crowded study.

The clock hands quietly moved past one-thirty, and the outside world seemed to turn lazy as the temperature rose.

Only the occasional chirping of birds and the faint laughter of children in the distance added a vitality to this tranquil afternoon.

At this moment, Chen Yun’s thoughts had escaped the shackles of time and space, embarking on an unprecedented journey. It spanned thousands of mountains and rivers and even transcended the usual cognitive boundaries.

This consciousness, light as if weightless, yet incredibly resolute, eventually found its temporary haven—a small and exquisitely made Jade Sword.

The Jade Sword, merely an inch or so in length, was entirely green, resembling solidified spring water.

It now served as a decoration, hanging on a silver necklace, quietly lying on a desk laden with various books and stationery.

And sitting by the desk was Jiang Anping.

Her long hair softly draped over her shoulders, her eyes meticulously moving between the pages of a book, her occasional frown clearly indicating deep thought.

Scattered on the desk were several thick professional books and a notebook whose edges were slightly curled.

Besides that,

a cup of hot, not very palatable, herbal medicine sat beside her, which she would occasionally lift to take a sip.

And then, because of the bitterness, she would frown.

Chen Yun’s consciousness stood calmly to the side, unnoticed by anyone or anything.

Calmly observing the oblivious Jiang Anping, he started to ponder a question,

"Can the ’nurturing’ ability heal Jiang Anping’s illness?"

Since acquiring the ability, he had become quite proficient in its use but had apparently not delved deeply into its potential for curing diseases.

Only in healing physical injuries—

The "nurturing" ability could utilize an overflow of Life Force to help heal wounds.

But he had never attempted it on diseases.

While he had tried it on plants to accelerate ripening and optimize quality,

he had not tried it directly on humans, only indirectly to heal injuries.

The impact of disease often involves the internal functions of the body, potentially affecting multiple systems or organs, and treatment might require long-term medication, lifestyle adjustments, or surgery.

The impact of physical injuries focuses more on localized structural damage, although severe injuries can also trigger systemic responses like shock, but treatment is generally focused on wound management, controlling bleeding, and repairing damaged tissues or resetting bones.

Overall, diseases involve more internal physiological imbalances, while physical injuries focus on damages caused by external factors.

There is a distinction between the two.

Even though considering the nature of the "nurturing" skill, as a nourishing skill, it definitely has maintenance effects on various physiological functions and is likely effective for various diseases,

he had never tested it.

Previously, his focus had mainly been on injuries.

So,

perhaps he needed a test subject?

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yun suddenly recalled a likely suitable test subject.

Without hesitation, he withdrew his consciousness from the Jade Sword and once again undertook an out-of-body experience toward the purple sandalwood Gundam.

Chen Yun’s consciousness seemed to enter a void, navigating through the crevices of the bustling world, and ultimately, in an unimaginable silence, touched a completely different reality.

It was a room in an ordinary rental apartment on the outskirts of the city, free from external noise, filled only with warmth and tranquility.

His spiritual power dispersed.

He immediately noticed that the surface of the purple sandalwood Gundam was smooth as a mirror, each carving distinctly visible, without a trace of age.

Clearly, someone had carefully and frequently dusted it, maintaining its original luster and dignity.

Looking around, the interior of the rental apartment was also surprising.

Despite the limited space, items were neatly arranged, every piece of furniture shone brightly, and the floor was nearly footprint-free.

The air subtly carried the delicate fragrance of a freshener mixed with purple sandalwood.

As Chen Yun’s consciousness roamed this small space, he felt an unusual attentiveness.

Clearly, Bai Shi had been diligently cleaning the unoccupied house, genuinely anticipating his return at any time to have fun together.

For a moment,

Chen Yun felt slightly embarrassed about using Bai Shi’s name as his pseudonym for reckless behavior outside.

But the embarrassment quickly dissipated.

He knew that Bai Shi had an incredible number of aliases; he wasn’t even sure if the name Bai Shi was real.

Using his name for a fake account didn’t really matter.

Thinking this,

Chen Yun started focusing on the task at hand.

He spread his spiritual power to penetrate the floor, preparing to go directly to Li Qiucheng’s house downstairs.

To be precise,

this was Bai’s house but rented out to Li Qiucheng.

Yes,

his chosen test subject was indeed Li Qiucheng.

Because Chen Yun’s heart had long been as cold as stone, since the nurturing ability had no downsides, he felt no emotional fluctuations about this choice.

And the reason for choosing Li Qiucheng was simple.

First,

he was an extreme sports athlete who often suffered physical injuries.

Although injuries were localized physical damages, if not properly handled or frequently occurring, they could indeed increase the risk of health problems, indirectly leading to a diseased state in the body.
