However, Fang Yuan's consciousness can cover a radius of a few hundred meters, and the spiritual power of the surrounding world that he can sense is not insignificant. He focused his mind, controlling the scattered spiritual energy to enter his body, and was about to guide it through the planned meridians, but he found that the spiritual energy that had just entered his body was actually absorbed by his cells.
"What's going on?"
Fang Yuan was startled and tried several times. Finally, he realized that it was because his cells were constantly being cleansed by a small amount of primordial consciousness, in the process of evolution. Cells in the process of evolution always experience a hunger sensation, so when they encounter energy, they instinctively devour it.
As a result, he was unable to test the energy flow through the meridians.
Fang Yuan simply withdrew the consciousness cleansing the cells and tried again. However, he discovered that his cells had already entered an evolutionary state. Although the devouring speed slowed down after he stopped the cleansing, it still kept absorbing energy.
"As long as my absorption speed is fast enough, I should be able to continue!" Fang Yuan steeled himself and continued controlling the spiritual energy to enter his body.
It wasn't until the next morning that the energy filled all the meridians according to the plan. During this process, Fang Yuan had to make several adjustments to correct mistakes.
Afterward, Fang Yuan began circulating the energy in a clockwise direction. Suddenly, a faint suction force appeared. This suction force only affected the external spiritual energy and did not pull in air or dust.
With the creation of this suction force, threads of spiritual power began to slowly enter his body, no longer requiring mental control.
"Haha, it's finally working! My hypothesis was correct."
"However, no one else can control spiritual energy like I can. It's definitely harder for others to cultivate at the beginning. This is a problem that needs to be addressed."
At that moment, Fang Yuan's phone rang. He looked at the screen and saw an unknown number. He frowned slightly but answered the call.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Is this Fang Yuan? Release Bai Fengqing and Bai Yun. What do you want?" The voice of a middle-aged man came from the other end of the line.
The Bai family?
Fang Yuan raised an eyebrow and directly hung up the phone.
Soon, the phone rang again with the same number. Fang Yuan hung up once more.
When the phone rang for the third time, Fang Yuan answered it with a cold tone. "Don't provoke me. I don't have time to play with you!"
After hanging up, he immediately blocked the number.
However, just after putting the phone down, another unknown number called. Fang Yuan answered it impatiently.
"Weren't you told not to provoke me…?"
"Ah? Mr. Fang… how did I provoke you?" The shocked voice from the phone revealed it was Lin Xiaoxiao.
Fang Yuan was stunned. "You are Lin Xiaoxiao?"
"Yes, it's me. Who else did you think it was?"
"Sorry, I wasn't referring to you. I was talking about a prank call."
"That's good, you scared me. Hehe. Mr. Fang, do you have time today? Let me treat you to a meal, give me some face."
Being invited to a meal by a beautiful woman, Fang Yuan naturally agreed. However, just as he was about to reply, a pop-up message appeared on his phone:
"Your business bank card funds are suspected of being illegally obtained and have been frozen. For inquiries, please call..."
"Your identity card information has been cancelled. For inquiries, please call the police station..."
"Your credit card has questionable credit and has been temporarily frozen. For inquiries, please call..."
"Your student registration number has been cancelled. For inquiries, please call..."
A series of messages appeared, one after another, leaving Fang Yuan dumbfounded.
"Mr. Fang, why aren't you saying anything?" Lin Xiaoxiao's voice came from the phone.
"Oh, I have some business to take care of. I'll call you when I have time. Sorry," Fang Yuan quickly hung up the phone. He then called the bank and was informed that his funds had indeed been frozen—over one hundred million, not a single cent left.
He quickly checked his ID number, only to be told that it was no longer valid. It had been cancelled. How could an ID be cancelled?
Fang Yuan's heart sank.
Just then, another phone call came through from an unfamiliar number. Fang Yuan's eyes flashed as he answered the phone.
"Fang Yuan? Did you see the messages? This is the power of my Bai family. What you're seeing now is just the tip of the iceberg. I want to see Bai Fengqing and Bai Yun before this afternoon. Otherwise, you will have no way out in China." The voice of the middle-aged man came, cold and indifferent.
Fang Yuan took a deep breath and suddenly smiled. "The Bai family, huh? I see."
"Be sensible…"
"Beep." Fang Yuan hung up the phone directly and turned off his phone.
He tossed the phone aside and opened his computer again. "Search, search for any Bai family members. How dare they freeze my money and cancel my ID!!"
Fang Yuan's hands flew across the keyboard, and the computer knowledge he had learned before was put to excellent use. One by one, people from the Bai family in Beijing were identified.
Whether they were in business, the military, politics, or even those expelled from the family, Fang Yuan found them all.
Some people's identities were hidden, or their permissions insufficient, but Fang Yuan found a way around it.
After some time, Fang Yuan was shocked to find that there were actually over a thousand people with blood ties to the Bai family in Beijing. However, the core members numbered only a few dozen.
To his surprise, one of the Bai family members was from a county, someone who had been exiled for a mistake and now ran a small store.
Fang Yuan put away his computer and phone and went out the door. At this moment, Wang Yuanyuan arrived on her bike. Seeing Fang Yuan, her face turned red.
"Yuanyuan, go home. I have something to do," Fang Yuan said, getting into his car.
"Oh," Wang Yuanyuan lowered her head slightly and asked quietly, "Did you look at it?"
"The photo? It's very pretty. See you later."
Fang Yuan stepped on the gas, and the car sped out of the yard.
"Hey…" Wang Yuanyuan stomped her foot, looking unhappy.
...
Shortly after leaving, Fang Yuan sensed someone was tailing him. He quickly turned a corner and stopped the car, releasing his consciousness.
When the black glass car approached, he opened the spatial portal and swallowed the car and its occupants.
He coldly smiled and continued driving.
Twenty minutes later, Fang Yuan arrived at the store and located the Bai family member. He absorbed them and continued driving without slowing down, taking some cash from the store to fill his wallet since his bank cards were frozen.
Fang Yuan then left the county and headed for a neighboring county. However, the Bai family seemed to have noticed. On the way, traffic police pulled over his car, citing speeding.
Fang Yuan shrugged indifferently, left the car, and in an isolated area, took out the black glass car again, but with a blue tint to the windows and a new license plate reading 88888…
That evening, Fang Yuan reached the next county and dealt with the owner of a supermarket.
The following day, he entered a large city, wiping out a real estate tycoon and his family, along with their bodyguards, and that evening, took care of a beauty salon owner and their family from a neighboring city.
...
The entire Bai family in Beijing was shaken. Over the past two days, more than ten members of the Bai family had disappeared. Although these were from collateral branches, they were still Bai family members. For a nameless person to provoke them was simply unforgivable.
"Kill him!"
"Catch him, we must catch him, that bastard!"
