In a room 500 meters high in Donghua City, a person was lying on a desk, writing something quickly:
Annie, how have you been recently?
Things here are not bad, after all, the situation in Donghua City is much better than in the other three cities.
I’ve found the person, and everything has been confirmed, I’ll be coming back very soon. I’m afraid it will be a long time before I come back to this city.
Wait for me patiently at home.
Remember to eat more vegetables, cultivate more, and don’t just play all day.
— Li Xiuzhu
…
A week had passed since the incident at the old building.
Zhou Bai had also reorganized his emotions, earnestly cultivating for a week. After all, his cultivation was too weak, and he was powerless in investigating many matters.
The urgent task was still to strive in cultivation to cope with the assessment in three weeks.
Dao degree: 3.1%
Primordial Spirit value: 211
Divine Diagram: Celestial Nine Calamities
Laziness: 3570
Both the Dao degree and laziness value had been comprehensively improved. This time, Zhou Bai didn’t add everything to the Primordial Spirit value but decided to first completely practice the stars in the 0th layer of the Divine Diagram.
After all, compared to the enhancement of the Primordial Spirit value, the battle power boost provided by the Divine Diagram was much more obvious. Initially, Zhou Bai sought to improve his Dao degree and Primordial Spirit value because his Primordial Spirit value was not meeting the requirements needed to cultivate the sixth star point.
He looked at the content of the sixth star point.
This chapter is updat𝓮d by freēwebnovel.com.
Sumeru - Immovable: Remaining motionless, transforming into a confluence of spiritual mechanisms, greatly increasing the speed of recovery for physical strength, energy, and injuries.
Method of cultivation: (directly skipped by Zhou Bai)
Laziness (0/3000)
"Finally, I have enough."
Looking at the content above, Zhou Bai added all 3000 points of laziness value in one breath.
Instantly, a strong fluctuation spread from Zhou Bai’s mind, rushing throughout his entire body, limbs, and bones. Countless indescribable, incomprehensible things were forged upon him.
Then, it seemed as though there was an unceasing, reciprocating flow of energy circulating within Zhou Bai, making him feel that his physical strength and energy were growing stronger.
"Is it successful?"
Zhou Bai smiled faintly, the majestic presence of Sumeru, enhanced with the recuperative boost of Sumeru - Immovable.
His resilience had strengthened again—if he encountered the same situation as last time…
Zhou Bai thought of this and sighed softly, then looked towards the seventh star point.
Unlike Christina’s seven star points, Zhou Bai’s 0th layer Divine Diagram had a total of nine star points.
At this moment, he looked at the content of the seventh star point.
Sumeru - Healing: Enhances the physical body’s flexibility and burst strength, and at the same time, turns laziness into treasure, allowing him to heal his own injuries by consuming laziness.
Method of cultivation: (directly skipped by Zhou Bai)

Laziness (0/3500)
Zhou Bai said without a word, "This is a one-way trip on a tank’s path. Nine fundamental divine diagrams, each one a different direction—my heavens, could it be that the direction is to be tanky enough?"
Finally, after completing the sixth star point of the god diagram, Zhou Bai looked at his side. Christina was curled up in a ball, cultivating her Primordial Spirit.
A few days ago, Christina had completed the fourth star point of the 0th level sword diagram, but could not cultivate the next star point due to insufficient Primordial Spirit value.
So, Zhou Bai took her to see Dao Treasures Collection 00.
Compared to Zhou Bai, Christina’s initiation process was much smoother and more efficient than what was recorded in Zuo Dao’s notes.
Since the last time they experienced the old building incident, her understanding of cultivation seemed to have deepened.
’This cat’s cultivation speed is really fast, I can’t be outdone by her, I need to work harder.’
Thinking about it, Zhou Bai stood up, looking at Christina, who was earnestly cultivating, and said, "Tina, I’m going to the hospital. Jing Xiu told me today in the cafeteria that Qian Wangsun is out of danger, they are going to visit him, and I plan to check on him too."
Seeing that Christina didn’t move, as if she hadn’t heard, Zhou Bai wasn’t surprised. He was just about to leave when he saw Elsa grinning, excitedly crawling out from under the bed, seeming to want to go out with Zhou Bai.
Zhou Bai looked at the rice stuck at the corner of Elsa’s mouth and was momentarily startled. The next moment, he glanced sharply at the human food prepared for Elsa—it had all been eaten.
Looking at Elsa with a ’spare the rod and spoil the child’ expression, he rubbed her head and said, "Eat, eat, eat, that’s all you know! That was saved for your dinner tonight!"
"Woof." Elsa turned her face away, not daring to meet Zhou Bai’s eyes. Her tongue sneakily stuck out, licking the grains of rice back into her mouth.
Zhou Bai said helplessly, "Fine, I’ll buy you some more. Sigh, still three weeks until the assessment, I hope I can earn more points by then, we’re running out of food."
After buying more food for Elsa, Zhou Bai looked at Christina and said, "Tina, I’m going to the hospital. Take good care of Elsa for me; don’t let her steal food again."
Just as Zhou Bai thought Christina would remain unresponsive as before, he saw her open a pair of cat eyes and shoot into his mind.
Zhou Bai: "Huh? Weren’t you cultivating your Primordial Spirit value?"
Christina: "Hmph, it was my hand that severed that guy’s limbs, I want to see if he’s dead yet."
Zhou Bai laughed, "Tina, feeling guilty?"
"Guilty my ass," Christina said disdainfully. "If it weren’t for me, he would have died a long time ago. Having severed limbs is better than being dead. And wasn’t it you who told me to chop them off?"
The two, one human, one cat, chatted as they left the room and headed to the hospital.
As a cultivators’ school, Dao School inevitably had students and teachers encountering various injuries and illnesses, so within the 1500 meter campus, they had a fully equipped large hospital.
When Zhou Bai arrived at Qian Wangsun’s hospital room, he could already hear his classmates talking inside.
He saw Qian Wangsun lying on the hospital bed, his naked limbs heavily bandaged, a carefree smile on his face: "Come on, Jing Xiu, don’t cry. So what if I have no hands or feet? It’s even better this way; I can fully focus on cultivating my Primordial Spirit value. You guys be careful, don’t let me get too far ahead of you."
"But... but…" Jing Xiu looked at the somewhat pitiful figure of Qian Wangsun on the bed, her eyes turning red, "your physical body…"
The not even 1.5 meters tall Xia Li maturely patted Jing Xiu’s shoulder: "Enough, Jing Xiu, we are all cultivators, this is our fate. Qian Wangsun is mentally prepared and able to accept it calmly, there’s no need for you to worry about him."
After speaking, Xia Li gave Qian Wangsun a deep look but said nothing. Although the assistance of the Primordial Spirit made daily life not too different, not having hands and feet still impacted him psychologically and physically, which could impede his cultivation.
Qian Wangsun spoke with determination, "Don’t worry, everyone. Just hands and feet, what’s that to me, Qian Wangsun?"
Du Bing expressed admiration, "What willpower! The thing I admire most, Qian Wangsun, is your steely resolve, the most important talent on the path of cultivation. It’s good that you can accept this; it seems I won’t have to worry about you."
Jing Xiu was still somewhat uneasy and asked, "Isn’t there really no way to heal it? Not even with the ’Heavenly Diagram’ method?"
The ’Pompadour’ who had stopped Zhou Bai in the cafeteria to challenge him, Liu Xian, shook his head: "Rebirth of severed limbs... even for others to enable the rebirth of limbs, it requires at least a great cultivator of the 7th realm or above, consuming a lot of energy.
Every cultivator of the 7th realm or above is a precious human resource, their power needs to be used for more important matters. The quota for rebirth of limbs is extremely valuable; they likely won’t use it lightly on Qian Wangsun."
