”The body composition of the humans in this world is indeed different from that of other worlds, albeit it being minute differences...”

As Fang Yuan executed his acupuncture, he mulled to himself.

Although he had lost all his cultivation, he still had his experiences from other worlds. Together with his skills in Medicine, he should be doing quite alright in this realm.

However, before he could do anything, he realised the hostility of this realm.

Although his acupuncture technique was good, the pressure points of the bodies here were already different, rendering his skills useless!

Therefore, in the past few years, he had sourced for bodies during his free time to practice. Finally, he had improved his skills and re-learnt the different locations of the pressure points of the humans in this realm and in the process, integrating into the realm.

Zhao Daniu, the guinea pig, was the unfortunate one. There were many instances where he was paralysed for almost half a day, causing him to fear needles the moment he sees them.

Of course, he did not sacrifice his body for nothing.

At least, with the help of Fang Yuan, he now knew how to control his strength and therefore, no one realised that he was a bit special.

”I am finally restoring my special traits! However, I have already looked after him for 3 years before finally getting a grasp of Medicine in this realm, sigh….. As a dream-traverser, I am really a failure...”

Fang Yuan secretly did something to make Zhao Daniu fall asleep.

With that, he closed his eyes and used the needles and his mind to finally detect traces of Zhao Daniu absorbing energy.

These traces were very small. Even with Fang Yuan's current spiritual will, he found it extremely hard to detect and he could only make use of his possessed body to try and sense it.

However, as long as there were traces, it would be akin to finding an oasis in the desert and it was still good news.

”Although this world is the desert of energy sources, there are these kinds of droplets... Although extremely rare, from how Zhao Daniu has matured, I can confirm its existence and the fact that it is slowly strengthening... Regardless, it is still very weak.”

Without any other consideration, Fang Yuan named this source of energy 'Spiritual Droplets'!

This had to be the mysterious force that Elder Extreme Darkness was talking about.

However, based on what Fang Yuan had learnt, such spiritual droplets were limited.

The weapons of this realm were highly developed. Although Zhao Daniu had a strong body which was even further strengthened by Fang Yuan, against a machine gun, he would still die.

Even if one was highly skilled in martial arts, one would still fear a knife. After 10 years of training, one would still die under a single shot from a gun!

This was the reality of this realm!

”Notwithstanding others, if I were to don an armour on him and equip him with a weapon, after some training, it would be different... at least normal security guards will not be able to take him down...”

Fang Yuan's hands were swift as the needles flew about. In a moment, Zhao Daniu's entire body was covered in needles.

If Zhao Daniu were to wake up now, he would realise that he had become a 'Needle Man' and would take it out on Fang Yuan - Not that he could win Fang Yuan in a fight, that was.

”I've finally succeeded after so long and have discovered a quicker way to absorb the spiritual droplets!”

Fang Yuan's eyes glistened.

On Zhao Daniu's body, he had done all that he could. He had not only allowed Zhao Daniu to have full control of his strength, he had pushed him to the possibility of gaining full autonomy of his own body.

After many failures, it seemed like there was finally an outcome.

To speak the truth, although Fang Yuan had devised this acupuncture activating technique for a year, he was still not sure of its effectiveness.

Until now, that is. There was no more doubt.

”Hmmm... Without my help, Zhao Daniu's strength will be comparable to two adults. Although I've only increased his strength by another 0.5, it is still stronger than what he was. I wonder if I can execute this technique on other normal humans.”

Fang Yuan kept his needles. He knew that Zhao Daniu would only wake up after another hour and therefore, brought himself out to take a shower under the moonlight.

”Home is where the heart is... Unfortunately, everything is mixed up now!”

He heaved a huge breath, crossed his legs and faced the sky.

Retrieving his own silver needles, he started to pierce at his own acupuncture points. With the guidance of external forces, he started to force his body to react with the spiritual droplets in the air.

”It's a good thing that I have experience of cultivation from other realms. This means that I will at least be able to achieve an initial breakthrough!”

Fang Yuan was clear about one thing.

According to how Immortal Cultivators cultivate, Zhao Daniu had a favourable body to begin with as it could absorb spiritual droplets by itself. However, Fang Yuan was possessing a normal body and it would be difficult for him to achieve a breakthrough to begin absorbing the spiritual droplets.

However, with his strong mind, he gritted his teeth and pierced another needle in his Baihui Acupuncture Point.

Within seconds, blood started to gather at his forehead, forming a red hue there.

”Whoo... I feel like I'm burning all over!”

Fang Yuan used his skills in Medicine to allow his blood to gather. Focused, he forcefully increased his Essence and Spirit. If he were to fail, he would become crippled!

Under an intense pressure, every minute felt like an eternity. Finally, after a long time...

”Chila!”

Fang Yuan heard a crisp sound coming from his forehead.

A strong mind power made Fang Yuan feel as though a river with clear spring water was flowing through his forehead.

”Haha...”

Although the number of spiritual droplets was negligible, Fang Yuan still smiled. ”Finally... It's done!”

With this step, Fang Yuan had officially entered the world of cultivation for this realm. Although he was still far behind those with favourable bodies, he could slowly catch up through his cultivation in the future.

His journey of becoming supernormal began here!
