Hao Ren and Han Lingshi were laying in the bed, and had just finished their daily cultivation. The lady said, "When you were saying that you wanted to make a force of your own, I was thinking about another aspect to gather strength." Hao Ren asked curiously, "What is it?" Han Lingshi smiled and said, "If cultivation was all about fate and karma, then can we not do something to earn merit?" Hao Ren replied, "We are already doing charity through the foundation and Xiao Mei is keeping a track of the money trail. No?" In his mind, this was charity enough. Han Lingshi shook her head and said, "I was talking about this with mom, and she told me that merit manifests to the people who directly credited for the charity or good deed. We are only getting a small amount of the merit. The more the masses believe in the king, the stronger the fate of the nation. However, that fate will not manifest it just upon anyone. For the manifestation of the fate the people need to have a strong impression of yours." Hao Ren thought about it silently, and the system said, *Ding: Host, this is a combined task for you and your wife. Please accumulate enough merit to manifest the providence of the phoenix and dragon. It will be helpful to you in your future path.* The young man took a deep breath and asked, "System, will it not pose a lot of threat for us to manifest the providence?" *Ding: Host, do you think manifesting the providence is as easy as cooking instant noodles? The nations that your wife used as an example, are all able to manifest a flood dragon as the highest form of providence after a lot of hard work spanning over to generations, and centuries. If you manage to manifest your providence, the providence gain enlightenment and protect you from a lot of enemies when needed.* Hao Ren fell silent. The system has scolded back some senses in his mind. The young man then snuggled with Han Lingshi and said, "You have completed the negotiations with the military people, and there is nothing much that we can do about them for now. How about we go to the mountains and a few more places that are operated by the foundation to meet the children after I am done signing the new contract tomorrow?" Han Lingshi thought about it and said, "Well, if not because we have Xiao Mei, I wouldn't dare to go out for such a long time." Hao Ren smiled and said, "Xiao Mei, did you hear that? Thank you for your effort." The AI replied, "I don't want to sound too haughty but it's nothing, really." Hao Ren said, "I can see some mangled nerves around her spine. The vertebra is not obvious to my sight. I will need to examine her." Han Lingshi smiled and looked at Maya as she said, "He is a doctor, what do you say Maya? Give it another shot?" The young lady clenched her fists, and said, "It is not that I am being rude, but I am tired of these examinations. I don't want to live with hope only to despair in the end." Hao Ren approached her and said, "Miss Okudera, I promise to you that I will not give you any false hope." She looked at his earnest expression, she nodded. In reality, Hao Ren had used the sooth saying skill, he stood up and placed his hands on her shoulders before he channeled his spirit energy in her body. This was the advantage of spirit gathering realm. He could finally channel a bit of his spiritual energy through other objects. As the energy moved through Maya's body, she sensed a vague warmth running through her body. Their was a reason why he wanted to help her. He was genuinely impressed by her dedication and loyalty to Han Lingshi. He thought about it when he was coming up with the idea of cultivating his own force, that if he could heal Maya Okudera, she would become a loyal guard beside Han Lingshi. After a few moments, Hao Ren said, "Hmmm, there are spinal fractures, the bone is being held together with pins and plates. The bone regeneration potion can help in this. Her nerves will heal when spiritual energy is channeled through them and acupoints also. Miss Okudera, just so you know that I am not lying to you, tell me when you feel something in your legs." Maya Okudera was shocked at this last remark and before she could even retort back, she sensed something, the sensation in her lower extremities have returned. She said, "I feel itchy in my legs, what is going on? Am I hallucinating?" Hao Ren took his hands back and said, "You are not hallucinating, I only stimulated your nerves with spiritual energy. As for what that is, Lingshi will tell you what it is. as for your treatment, you would need to have the pins and plates removed before I can give you a bone regeneration potion. So, do take your time to decide anything." After he finished speaking, Hao Ren left the Empress International and reached his own company, where he signed the contracts and talked with the management about his decision to never sell even a single unit in the Hawks Nation market. He even said that as soon as any unit was detected to have entered the Hawks nation, it would be deactivated. The management was surprised and then Hao Ren told them how the NSA kidnapped Han Lingxue to force him into handing over the spirit rejuvenation formula. The management was surprised, and they supported his decision. Then Hao Ren said, "I read that the prosthetic program is progressing nicely, are we close to launching the initiative?" Klaus said, "Yes, we are, as soon as we can find a hundred volunteers." Hao Ren nodded and said, "I have decided to go out and inspect the locations where we are doing the charity and all. It won't be long and during this time, I would like to convince a few people to join us. So prepare a team, that can go and demonstrate the effectiveness of the prosthetics." The people nodded and Hao Ren set off, tonight he was going to find out whether he would get a force of his own, or not, but he had stepped onto the path of cultivation in true sense and his ambition had been ignited.
