box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but shrink his pupils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The front of the box bore the words “Solid-Soul Capsule.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a child, Jiang Jian had heard of this medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was extremely expensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each box required tens of thousands of Alliance Coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This large crate contained at least dozens of boxes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Zhao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian’s tone grew slightly cold: “Did you spend all the money I gave you on this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl did not retreat; instead, she spoke calmly: “Jiang Jian, eat one right now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From now on, one every day—no exceptions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It can truly cure your Soul-Loss Syndrome.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not joking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was crisp and beautiful, filled with resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you don’t listen to me this time, I won’t listen to you ever again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Linjiang Platform, all goods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were clearly priced and genuine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once purchased, no returns or exchanges were permitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian fell silent for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head slightly, glancing at the gray fox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Coming.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray fox whispered, opened the box, and took out a box of medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It condensed spiritual energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hovering midair, it carried a capsule forward and placed it before Jiang Jian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian reached out, took it, and swallowed one “Solid-Soul Capsule.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian’s expression subtly shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clearly sensed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The capsule had dissolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning into a faint, pure spiritual force that sank into the depths of his soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But against the terrible void and countless cracks in his soul,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was still like trying to fill a well with a cup of water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Jiang Jian take the medicine,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other end of the communication, the girl’s tone softened, gentle: “How do you feel?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian nodded slightly: “It works.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Zhao’s previously tense face instantly melted like snow, revealing a joyful smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Soul-Loss Syndrome is rare.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The number of theological physicians studying it is likewise small.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Solid-Soul Capsule.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is currently.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The most effective medicine for treating Soul-Loss Syndrome.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the girl finished speaking,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian replied: “Alright, I’ll take the medicine on schedule.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Divine-Gifted weapon I bought for you should arrive soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Train hard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The communication ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian sat on the sofa, staring at the medicine crate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xue stepped forward, wagging her tail: “As long as it works.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian remained silent, saying nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This medicine did indeed replenish spiritual soul energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But its effect was minuscule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calling it “a cup of water for a well” was already an overstatement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theological physicians of the Four Realms of Earth-Moon had managed to develop even this much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was already commendable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even “she” had once said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soul-Loss Syndrome differs from Soul-Departure Syndrome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its treatment is extraordinarily difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soul-Departure Syndrome merely means the soul and body are naturally separated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the soul itself,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From beginning to end, remains whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is no actual missing part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the soul and body are reunited,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soul-Departure Syndrome heals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Soul-Loss Syndrome,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is the absence of the soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This absence cannot be repaired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the soul is unique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only upon reaching the Spirit Platform Realm can one glimpse soul cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then does a sliver of chance exist to mend the soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She once said she was a theological physician whose skill rivaled creation itself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Her art approached divinity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And she intended to save more people.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian’s gaze was calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had cured his sister’s illness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was deeply grateful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for himself,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cost had been equally heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian had never, not for a moment, harbored resentment or blamed fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curing his sister was his own choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Made a choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would not regret it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Buy more food—follow your usual menu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian stood up and walked toward the bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gold thread embroidery along the hem of his dark robe glowed faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xue froze, not daring to delay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she headed toward the machinery room, she murmured: “I remember you used to eat very little.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I haven’t eaten in a long time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian spoke coldly, shutting the bathroom door behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xue replied, looked up at the tall mechanical butler, and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Four portions of boiled chicken with spicy dipping sauce—deboned and sliced.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two portions each of pineapple gold thread, mapo tofu, and charcoal-grilled beef leg.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What should we eat for the main course...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xue swiped its claws across the holographic screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two portions of spicy chicken noodles, two portions of clear-simmered pork bone soup, and two portions of sweet egg tarts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And some snacks too...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xue’s eyes gleamed with satisfaction. It left the mechanical room, curled up on the sofa, and began scrolling through its identity device.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood. I’ll go retrieve the meal right away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The robotic butler responded and entered the mechanical room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It raised its arm, glancing at the large pile of items Ji Xue had ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It swiped the screen again, checked the dining hall’s balance, and frowned strangely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the academy opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian deposited 1,000 Alliance Coins into the dormitory dining hall’s account.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xue had already eaten nearly half of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meals here aren’t expensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, they’re extremely cheap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This rate of food consumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the robotic butler’s view, was exceedingly rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian finished his bath and stepped out of the bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at the table, piled high with food, nearly spilling over, and paused in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xue stood on the chair, all four paws planted firmly: “Waiting for you to eat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian’s hair was still damp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark strands hung down over his pale forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked over to Ji Xue, sat down, and said: “Eat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few meals won’t cost many Alliance Coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian didn’t care about that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What surprised him was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The food Ji Xue had ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost all of it were dishes Jiang Zhao loved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These are all your favorite dishes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian took a sip of soup and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” Ji Xue nodded. “What’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian shook his head: “Nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way,” Ji Xue ate a bite of rice, then suddenly said, “Besides the medicine box, there’s another package.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sounded slightly guilty. “Sorry, I almost forgot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it spoke,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xue leapt to the door, gathered spiritual energy in its claws, and held out a small box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The box was tiny, pure black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at it, one felt as if one’s gaze were sinking into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This was delivered by a staff member from the dormitory.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xue placed the box before Jiang Jian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The staff said it was from a student named Shi Xuan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He asked us to deliver it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides you, several others received the same box.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This item wasn’t on the delivery list, so I forgot about it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xue blinked. “You’re not mad at me, are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian said nothing, took the box in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black box was small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Held in his palm,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it felt heavy, unnaturally so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xue whispered a reminder: “The staff said to open it with your identity device.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian nodded, swiped his identity device.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black box opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Xuan’s calm voice emerged from within: “I found my mother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So I’ll be leaving for a while.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Inside is a gift I’ve prepared for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“During these days in the study squad, I’ve been very happy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the box lay a piece of white jade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian fell silent for a moment, then put the box away and took the jade in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He examined it briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But found nothing unusual about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1296,"2026-06-20T01:21:34.271Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","abd2f5a4c5382d0a010f0d37fc9532cbf577af1ab99ee698bae77654b655cfed","ascending-to-divinity-chapter-108","ascending-to-divinity-chapter-106",306,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fascending-to-divinity-cover.jpg"]
