Luo Qingzhou was startled.

He wanted to put down the bronze mirror in his hand, but for some reason, he suddenly felt as if his body was frozen and he could not move.

At the same time, he felt weak all over. His body was light and swayed. He felt like he was smoke and about to float upward from the ground.

He could not control his body. He widened his eyes and looked at his distorted face in the mirror. He realized that the face had also begun to float up like smoke.

At the same time, a bone-piercing chill assaulted him!

“Young Master! Young Master! There are many lanterns in Moonlight Rain Court. Qiu’er and the others said that Second Young Miss had already left.

When are we leaving?”

At this moment, Xiao Die ran into the small courtyard excitedly.

Luo Qingzhou’s body trembled and he suddenly woke up.

He stared at the mirror again. Other than the dark and gloomy atmosphere, his face did not change at all.

He gently shook the bronze mirror in his hand and looked down at his body. There was nothing abnormal.

Everything that had happened earlier seemed to be an illusion.

But…

Was it all an illusion?

He knew very well that it was not an illusion.

His back was drenched in cold sweat, and his heart was still beating rapidly.

What was going on?

Although the scene just now was terrifying, he vaguely felt that he had entered a very mysterious and strange state.

However, he could not tell what it was exactly.

He took a few deep breaths and calmed himself down. Then, he placed the bronze mirror on the desk and turned to look at Xiao Die in the courtyard.

Just as Luo Qingzhou was about to speak, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head!

His face turned pale, and his body went limp. He suddenly fell to the ground.

He had a splitting headache!

“Young Master!”

When Xiao Die saw this from the outside, her expression immediately changed. She exclaimed and ran in. She hurriedly helped him up from the ground and said with a sobbing tone, “Young Master, what’s wrong? Where are you feeling unwell?”

Luo Qingzhou held his head, his face twisted with pain. He gritted his teeth to stop himself from making a sound.

His head felt like it was about to split open. He was in so much pain that his body was trembling. His face was ashen white, and he was drenched in cold sweat.

“Young Master, don’t scare me! I’ll go find the physician immediately! Young Master, wait for me!”

Xiao Die was frightened and helpless. After her mind went blank for a while, she hurriedly helped Luo Qingzhou to the chair in front of the desk and ran out crying.

Luo Qingzhou lay on the desk, trembling in pain and almost fainting.

A few minutes later, the pain eased a little.

Thinking that many people might come later, he immediately stood up from the desk and put away the Lunisolar Mirror. He walked over with difficulty and hid it under the bed.

Then, he got into bed and lay down.

The pain continued.

However, compared to the pain from before, it was already tolerable.

Although he was puzzled, he did not dare to think too much at this moment.

He closed his eyes to calm himself.

Not long after.

Hurried footsteps came from outside.

Xiao Die hurriedly entered the house with the physician.

Bai Ling came in together with Second Young Miss’s maidservant, Zhu’er.

They had originally planned to come over to get Luo Qingzhou to go to

Moonlight Rain Court.

At this moment, Madam and Second Young Miss Qin had already left.

The physician was an old man in his 50s with white hair. His last name was Sun, and he was the exclusive physician of the Qin Residence. Everyone went to him when they were unwell. Coincidentally, he was in the residence today, so he came very quickly.

“Sir, what’s wrong?”

As soon as they entered the house, Bai Ling frowned and asked with a worried expression.

Luo Qingzhou held his throbbing head and said in a trembling voice, “My head hurts…”

Xiao Die hurriedly brought over a stool and lit an oil lamp and candles.

Physician Sun sat down by the bed and took a look at Luo Qingzhou’s pale face. Then, he reached out to take his pulse. As he listened, he asked, “Do you just feel a headache? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere else?”

Luo Qingzhou’s face was pale as he answered with difficulty, “I just have a headache. My head feels like it’s about to crack open.”

Physician Sun narrowed his eyes and took Luo Qingzhou’s pulse for a while before asking, “You didn’t have such a problem in the past, right?”

Xiao Die, who was at the side, was so frightened that her face turned pale. She hurriedly answered, “No, my Young Master’s health has always been very good in the past.”

Physician Sun nodded slightly. Then, he stood up and pressed his fingers on Luo Qingzhou’s forehead, head, temples, and other places. He said, “If the place I’m pressing hurts, tell me.”

Luo Qingzhou did not say anything.

Physician Sun pressed his neck again and asked, “What about here?”

Luo Qingzhou said, “It doesn’t hurt.”

Physician Sun reached out and opened his eyelids to take a look. Then, he asked, “Did you sleep with Young Miss or the maidservant last night?”

Xiao Die hurriedly answered timidly, “No, no.”

Physician Sun asked again, “What about during the day?”

Xiao Die said shyly, “No…”

Physician Sun nodded and did not say anything else. He turned around and took out a pen and paper from his bag. He walked to the desk and prepared to prescribe a prescription.

Bai Ling hurriedly asked, “Physician Sun, is Sir all right? What illness is it?”

As Physician Sun wrote, he said, “He’s fine. It’s just that he has consumed too much energy and his brain can’t take it anymore, so he suddenly has a headache. I’ll write a prescription for Sir, and he must rest for a few days to recuperate. After that, everything should be fine.”

“Too much mental energy consumption?”

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment before asking, “Physician Sun, do you know the reason?”

Physician Sun answered, “If it’s not because he stayed up late, it’s because he did something that consumed his stamina and mental strength during the day. Or perhaps it’s because he hasn’t had a good rest recently and has been studying every day. It might also be because he’s often letting his imagination run wild. There are many reasons, so I can’t say for sure.”

Bai Ling nodded slightly and looked at Luo Qingzhou.

Luo Qingzhou rubbed his head. “It should be because I’m always reading. I’ve been reading in the house for the past few days. Second Brother sent me many good books and I can’t stop reading them.”

Bai Ling looked at the bookshelf in the corner and the books stacked on the desk. She could not help but blame him. “Sir, even if you’re preparing for the exam, you can’t push yourself like this. Your body is weak to begin with, and you don’t know how to cherish it. If you keep yourself cooped in the house every day to study, you’ll fall sick.”

Physician Sun prescribed a prescription and handed it to Bai Ling. He also looked at the bed and said, “It’s a good thing to study hard, but you have to know your limits. Your health is the most important. Sir, you have to go out and walk around often to train your body. If you stay in the house all the time, your body will be weak and you will fall sick often.”

Luo Qingzhou thanked him in a trembling voice from the bed. “Thank you, Physician. ”

Bai Ling handed the prescription to the maidservant behind her and told her to go to the pharmacy with the physician to get the medicine.

Zhu’er also went out and said, “Then I’ll tell Second Young Miss and Madam that Sir is unwell and can’t go over tonight.”

When only Bai Ling and Xiao Die were left in the room, Bai Ling walked to the bed and said, “Sir, rest well. Don’t study or go out for the next few days. Rest well in the room. I’ll tell Miss.”

Luo Qingzhou felt a sharp pain in his head again. He closed his eyes and did not speak.

Bai Ling did not dare to say anything else. She said to Xiao Die, “Let’s go. Close the door. Don’t disturb Sir anymore. Let him rest.”

Xiao Die nodded and looked at her young master worriedly before following Bai

Ling out of the room.

After the door closed, Luo Qingzhou slowly opened his eyes. “Too much mental energy consumption?’

At this moment, he did feel mentally exhausted and weak.

However, it seemed to have happened in an instant. It had nothing to do with studying or cultivating.

Just now, when he looked at the bronze mirror in front of the window and saw the strange phenomenon in the mirror, he suddenly had a headache and a lack of strength.

Could it be that the mirror had suddenly sucked away all his mental strength?

Wait a minute! Mental strength…

His heart skipped a beat as he suddenly thought of something.

He looked out of the window. There was no one in the courtyard.

It was also quiet outside.

He endured the pain and got out of bed. He took out the porcelain bottle containing the black liquid from under the bed.

Every time he used a drop of the liquid inside, his spirit would become extremely full. One drop could last for three days.

He immediately uncorked the bottle and carefully poured a drop on his fingertip.

As soon as the ink-black liquid landed on his fingertips, it quickly entered through the pores on his fingertips and quickly disappeared.

Another drop!

He poured another drop.

After his fingertips absorbed the two drops of ink-black liquid, he covered the porcelain bottle again and placed it back under the bed.

When he returned to the bed and lay down, he suddenly realized to his surprise that the pain in his head had indeed begun to ease.

And it was very fast!

The pain that felt like needles prickling him a moment ago had quickly receded at this moment.

A few minutes later.

There was only a faint pain in his head.

A few more minutes passed.

That trace of pain disappeared.

This ink-black liquid was indeed extraordinary.

Luo Qingzhou rubbed various parts of his head and could no longer feel any pain. At the same time, his mental strength began to recover quickly.

He immediately got out of bed and took out the Martial Evaluation Stone. He held it in his palm and circulated his internal energy.

The snow-white surface of the jade immediately lit up, and a few lines of black words appeared. [Strength: 50] [Speed: 5] [Resistance: 50]

[Spiritual Power: 1]

Then, the values on it began to change again.

His Strength slowly increased from 50 to 60, 70, 80…

His Resistance was also gradually increasing.

His Spiritual Power also increased from 1 to 5.

After a while, not only did his Spiritual Power recover to 10, but it also increased by a little. In the end, it stopped at 11.

The ink-black liquid indeed increased one’s Spiritual Power!

But was it that simple to increase one’s Spiritual Power?

The dark blue liquid produced by the other mirror was a magical elixir. Not only could it help refine the skin and flesh, but it could also help temper the entire body.

On the other hand, did the ink-black liquid produced on the other side only increase Spiritual Power?

It might not be that simple.

If it could only increase his Spiritual Power, what kind of qualitative change would it bring about as his Spiritual Power increased?

Luo Qingzhou sat by the bed and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, he thought of a book he had read this afternoon.

There was a small story recorded in it. It said that in an ancient country, there was a person who was especially energetic and was never tired. One night, when he fell asleep, he suddenly felt himself floating up from the bed. Then, he saw that his body was still sleeping on the bed.

Luo Qingzhou thought about this story and suddenly recalled what had happened in front of the window.

At that time, he looked at his distorted face in the mirror and suddenly could not move his body. Then, he suddenly felt that his entire body was light as if he was about to leave the ground. In the mirror, he seemed to be about to float too.

As he connected the two, he seemed to have vaguely grasped something.

He had yet to finish reading that book!

His heart skipped a beat. Luo Qingzhou immediately put down the Martial Evaluation Stone and walked to the desk. He pulled out the book from the pile of books.

Then, he took the oil lamp and sat down in front of the window. He opened the book and read it carefully.

When he finished reading the story and flipped to the next page, he saw that it said, “A human’s spiritual energy comes from his soul… If the soul is strong, the spiritual energy is strong. The spiritual energy is strong, the divine sense will be strong and one can split their consciousness.”

“The soul is powerful. It can leave the body and wander in the world alone.”

When Luo Qingzhou saw this sentence, his mind seemed to have exploded. It was as if chaos had cleared and he was suddenly clear-headed.

Could it be that the trance and faint feeling he had felt earlier was because his soul was about to leave his body? However, because his Spiritual Power was insufficient and his soul was not strong enough, the process suddenly stopped and he was injured.

At this moment, Luo Qingzhou suddenly seemed to have opened the door to a new world.

He continued to turn the pages and read hungrily..
