217. Chapter 217: Awakening and Quotas

Li Yi was in a coma for a full ten days.

If his vital signs hadn't been completely normal, the doctor would have thought he had become a vegetable. And to ensure Li Yi's rapid recovery, the doctors at the training base even gave him special care and used quite a few good medicines on him. If it weren't for this, he would have had no way to wake up in such a short time.

Li Yi felt as if he had just had a very long sleep. Upon waking up, he felt refreshed, his body was strong, and he was full of power.

"Am I in the hospital?"

Looking at the familiar layout around him, he understood in his heart that he had been sent to the hospital ward within the training base again. And after checking the time on his phone and discovering that he had been in a coma for a full ten days, he felt a wave of surprise.

"Ten days have passed already? I thought I would be in a coma for at most a day or two. However, long-term recuperation also has its benefits. At least my soul injury has healed, and my condition is even better than before. Besides that, my body has also completely recovered, and the side effects of the Blood Burning Art have passed safely."

Li Yi closed his eyes at this moment, attempting to mobilize his Qi and blood to sense his physical condition.

Except for the fact that his martial arts cultivation had dropped back to the peak of the Blood Cultivation Realm, everything else was in excellent condition; his physical constitution was even better than before.

This was one of the benefits of recultivating martial arts.

Qi and blood dispersed throughout the body, indirectly accelerating the speed of physical evolution. It was just a pity that he hadn't been in meditation and cultivation during these ten days; otherwise, relying on the White Bone Contemplation technique, he would have had a very high chance of evolving to the Spirit Perception Realm within these ten days.

"Although I missed ten days of cultivation time, my body is still maintaining a state of evolution. My current vision, hearing, and even strength have all exceeded what they were before I fell into a coma. Moreover, vaguely, I have developed a kind of intuition." Li Yi's expression suddenly shifted, and he looked toward the direction of the door.

After about several seconds, a sound of footsteps appeared, and then a nurse pushed the door and entered.

"Mr. Li, you're awake? That's great, I'll go notify the doctor right away." The nurse was overjoyed upon seeing Li Yi awake and hurriedly left again.

Li Yi didn't speak; he was still immersed in that special perception from just a moment ago.

This perception was not inspiration.

Inspiration was an extension of the five senses, with a limited range and susceptibility to obstruction. But what he had just experienced was almost like precognition; the nurse hadn't arrived yet, but he had an intuition in his heart that someone was coming.

"Is this Spirit Perception?" Li Yi thought to himself.

However, his perception wasn't sharp. It could play a role when the surrounding situation was simple, but once the surrounding situation became complex, his perception wouldn't appear.

This indicated that his body was evolving toward the Spirit Perception Realm, but it was still lacking some cultivation. If he continued to cultivate, Li Yi would soon become a Spirit Perception Realm expert, and that intermittent perception would completely transform into Spirit Perception.

He estimated in his heart that he would need to persist in cultivation for at least half a month to break through.

And during this period, he believed that the Qi and blood Li Yi had accumulated would be enough to open the nine major meridians. By then, breaking through to the peak of Meridian Cultivation again, coupled with the strength of the Spirit Perception Realm, might bring new surprises. After all, there had never been a Spirit Perception expert at the Meridian Cultivation Realm in this world.

Just as he was thinking, the doctor and his assistant arrived at the ward.

Regarding Li Yi's awakening, the doctor didn't dare to be careless and gave Li Yi a systematic check-up.

"Your physical condition is very good, there are no problems at all, you can be discharged at any time."

"I've troubled you again this time, Doctor," Li Yi said.

The doctor said, "You're welcome, this is all what I should do. You were in a coma for a long time this time, and your physical depletion was very severe. Rest more recently, try not to go on missions, and don't get into fights with others. In addition, don't use some medicines. Your body was almost at its limit before. Although it has recovered now, the mysteries of the human body are very complex. Sometimes, just because it looks like there are no problems doesn't mean there are definitely no problems."

"Thank you for your advice, Doctor, I understand," Li Yi nodded.

"That's good, get some good rest, call me if there's anything," the doctor said a few words and then left.

Li Yi understood a bit now. In the words of the Four Seas and Bazhou, he had damaged his vitality and needed a period of recuperation.

But he didn't intend to continue lying down. After talking to the nurse about being discharged, he planned to leave the training base and go home.

And just as he was passing through the training base, he discovered that there were quite a few Inspiration and Spirit Perception evolvers within the training base. Those people looked somewhat familiar; he had seen them a few times when participating in the mission in the old city district. Among them were Wu Xiu, a Spirit Perception expert from the Cultivator Association, Yu Chuan, the cousin of that Ning Wu, and Zhao Lingfu, who had joined his team before.

These people shouldn't be from the Investigation Bureau; he didn't know why they would appear here.

However, these few Spirit Perception experts were gathered together at this moment, seemingly discussing something.

When Li Yi walked over, they sensed it, and their expressions changed immediately, stopping their conversation. They all looked at him in unison. Although they all greeted him with smiles, their eyes revealed a deep sense of wariness.

Not a single Spirit Perception expert who returned from the old city district was not afraid of Li Yi.

Behind him stood an unmentionable unknown existence. Although that person might be Li Yi's mother, this was only a superficial phenomenon. No one could be sure what the true root cause was, and no one dared to investigate it, so it could only be turned into a secret hidden in the bottom of their hearts.

"Li Yi," Zhao Lingfu said at this moment, "You've finally woken up. You were in a coma for a really long time this time. How are you? Is everything okay?"

"Everything is normal. But why are you all at the training base?" Li Yi asked with some curiosity.

Zhao Lingfu laughed, "The old city district, the mission codenamed 'Demon Extermination,' have you forgotten? Cultivators who perform well can obtain a quota for the Investigation Bureau's Mystic Object Cultivation Room. I was lucky and got a Mystic Object Cultivation Room. From now on, I can use the Mystic Object Cultivation Room to cultivate my heart, though there are some additional conditions."

"Wu Xiu and Yu Chuan are the same. We were just discussing how to break the Mystic Object Illusion."

Once one entered the energy influence range of the White Bone Mural, hallucinations would be produced. To use the Mystic Object for cultivation, one had to break the illusion. As of now, there were not many cultivators who could do this.

Li Yi said, "This incomplete Mystic Object at the training base has a peculiar effect. If one can see through the illusion, it can significantly improve a cultivator's cultivation value. Previously, Daoist Priest Peter increased his cultivation value to over five hundred percent because he got rid of the illusion's influence, which was very terrifying. So I think this illusion is a very good miracle for progress. It's best not to take shortcuts and rely entirely on personal character."

"That makes sense. I think so too. Compared to short-term cultivation, passing the test to improve cultivation value is the most important thing," Zhao Lingfu nodded. "Once the cultivation value improves, the speed of cultivation evolution will also be fast, and some losses can be made up for very quickly."

"That is indeed the case. What is truly precious about the Mystic Object Cultivation Room here is not the pure energy field, but tempering one's character and improving cultivation value. However, seeing through that illusion is indeed somewhat difficult. I plan to stay here for a period of time and use the Mystic Object for cultivation," Yu Chuan also said seriously.

He had originally planned to leave Tianchang City after completing the mission, but he didn't expect the Investigation Bureau to reward him with a Mystic Object Cultivation Room.

With such an opportunity, he couldn't bear to leave.

However, his cousin Ning Wu had been sent away because he didn't want Ning Wu to stay here. It wasn't just because Li Yi was here, but because Ning Wu had offended quite a few people here, and staying would do more harm than good.

"It seems that there are quite a few people who obtained the quota for the Mystic Object Cultivation Room this time," Li Yi said.

"Indeed, there are quite a few. A total of fifteen people obtained the quota for the Mystic Object Cultivation Room. In addition, Li Shaoqing of the Cultivator Association has confirmed that he will enter the Golden Academy and become a cross-dimensional traveler. He will set off in a few days. However, the two quotas within the Investigation Bureau have been delayed."

Zhao Lingfu frowned at this moment and said, "I think one of them might be you, Li Yi. But it's best to ask Zhang Lei about this matter and see what he says."

Li Yi's expression shifted; he had actually remembered this matter.

This time, Tianchang City had a total of three special recruitment quotas, two of which belonged to the Investigation Bureau and one to the Cultivator Association.

The most promising competitors in the Cultivator Association were originally Li Shaoqing and Yang Yi Long. Now that Yang Yi Long had been killed by him, Li Shaoqing naturally and logically obtained this special recruitment quota.

As for the Investigation Bureau, it really had to be asked.

Li Yi felt that he had been on quite a few missions recently and had made quite a few contributions, so perhaps he had a chance.

"I'll go ask right now. You all continue your cultivation, I won't disturb you."

With something on his mind, he didn't linger and quickly left the training base.

On the way, he made a phone call to Zheng Gong to ask about the quota.

"Li Yi, the reason the Investigation Bureau has been delaying the announcement of the list is because of you. Because you hadn't woken up, this matter was dragged out. However, Captain Zhang Lei told me that if you woke up, you should go to the Investigation Bureau to find him immediately, saying he has something to discuss with you."

Zheng Gong said on the phone, "At this time, the Captain should be at the Investigation Bureau. I think you should go to the Investigation Bureau."

"Okay, I understand." After Li Yi hung up the phone, he immediately rushed to the Investigation Bureau.

He was still quite concerned about the quota. If he could successfully enter the Golden Academy, his future would at least be guaranteed. After all, he could be a cross-dimensional traveler.

Crossing dimensions to a new world would be very helpful for both his cultivation and growth. Most importantly, he could avoid the Heaven Tilting event.

Although Li Yi had mastered the method to go to the Four Seas and Bazhou, the cosmic energy in the Four Seas and Bazhou universe was thin and not particularly suitable for his cultivation. Moreover, that world also had the matter of ghosts and gods collecting lifespans. If this wasn't resolved, the lifespan of normal people wouldn't be long, which was also a major drawback. ===== CHAPTER 217 =====
