Chapter 12 When the Conditions are Right
Chapter 12 When the Conditions are Right
Shen Feng didn't pay attention to the changes in Xu Wenxing, as he picked the Purple Leaf Grass in front of him.
As a low-tier spirit grass,
Purple Leaf Grass wasn't valuable in the Immortal Realm, but Shen Feng had not expected that it would still grow on the spirit energy-deficient Earth.
It was possible that high-tier spirit grass existed on Earth as well, which raised the question, could there also be cultivators?
A moment later,
Shen Feng shook his head in private, thinking that even if there were cultivators on Earth, their cultivation levels were unlikely to be very high.
After harvesting the Purple Leaf Grass, he needed to stimulate its medicinal potency as soon as possible.
He sensed around and concluded that there were no other Purple Leaf Grasses in the vicinity.
Turning around to face Xu Dong, he said, "We must leave here immediately, prepare a wooden tub for me to bathe in."
Kneeling on the ground, Xu Wenxing no longer exhibited his unruly demeanor, now staring at Shen Feng obediently like a well-behaved child, "Master..."
Shen Feng waved his hand to cut him off, "Your father is merely my registered disciple, so you need not address me as master."
Having said that, he walked towards the edge of the woodland.
Xu Dong kicked Xu Wenxing's behind, speaking irritably, "Now you know how formidable your master is? Let's go! Don't anger your master anymore. I obtained my position as a registered disciple with great difficulty. Keep yourself out of trouble during this period."
Xu Wenxing shot up from the ground and rushed after Shen Feng, leaving Xu Dong behind on his own.
After exiting the woodland, Xu Wenxing eagerly opened the car door for Shen Feng, "Master, please get in the car."
Shen Feng looked at Xu Wenxing, considering he had spent a thousand years in the Immortal Realm, there was no need to quibble with a young kid.
Besides, Xu Wenxing's nature wasn't bad; at worst, he was just a clueless child.
"Your talent is somewhat better than your father's," Shen Feng said before sitting in the car.
Xu Wenxing grinned foolishly, acting like an adolescent, and when he saw his father approach, he laughed, "Old man, did you hear that? Master said my talent is better than yours."
Xu Dong's face was covered in gloom, for he had never enjoyed the service of his son opening the car door for him, "Get in the car, don't delay your master's affairs."
Surprisingly, Xu Wenxing didn't argue and obediently got into the car.
Xu Dong owned three KTVs and three restaurants.
The closest was the main branch of his KTV business. Knowing that Shen Feng was in a hurry, he instructed the driver to head straight there.
On the way, Xu Dong made a call to have a bathing tub delivered to the main branch immediately.
Throughout the trip, he barely had any downtime. Although Sun Wei and Sun Feihu had been dealt with, there remained some scheming individuals who needed to be ousted all at once.
Xu Dong contacted the brothers who had been transferred, instructing them to return to Wuzhou City tonight.
As the boss, Xu Dong certainly had his methods, and he believed he could easily handle the upcoming tasks himself.
In the next room.
Shen Feng filled the bathtub with hot water and took out the Purple Leaf Grass again.
Usually, Purple Leaf Grass has five leaves.
However, the one in his hand inexplicably had six leaves.
But the sixth leaf was somewhat shriveled, and the medicinal power within it became impure.
Impure medicinal power was of no benefit to Shen Feng; he plucked the shriveled leaf off.
After all, Purple Leaf Grass should only have five leaves; removing the leaf with impure medicinal power had no impact whatsoever.
Originally he wanted to discard the shriveled leaf, but after thinking it over, he placed it on a table next to the bathtub.
He still had two jade beads on him and he muttered to himself, "To stimulate the medicinal power of the Purple Leaf Grass, the spiritual energy in one jade bead is enough."
He placed the other jade bead and the shriveled leaf together on the table.
Shen Feng tossed the Purple Leaf Grass into the bathtub, holding a jade bead in his hand. After stripping off his clothes, he submerged himself in the hot water of the bathtub.
The Emperor King Jue circulated within his body.
After the previous restorations, the spiritual energy could barely move through his chaotic meridians.
He stimulated the spiritual energy within the jade bead.
After the spiritual energy was released, the water in the bathtub became even clearer.
Gradually.
Under the influence of the spiritual energy, the medicinal power of the Purple Leaf Grass started to evaporate as well.
The water in the bathtub slowly took on a light purple hue, which became increasingly rich in color.
Along with the deepening purple color, the Purple Leaf Grass slowly dissolved until it completely disappeared.
The jade bead in Shen Feng's hand turned to powder, and the Emperor King Jue continued to operate within his body. His body absorbed the medicinal power released from the Purple Leaf Grass.
His eyebrows unconsciously furrowed because his Immortal Emperor body was in extremely poor condition, even the absorption of medicinal power was difficult.
Thus, he absorbed it very slowly.
As time passed, the world outside gradually brightened.
The purple color in the water faded more and more.
In an instant, the purple color disappeared completely. Shen Feng stretched lazily, his joints making a 'crackling' sound.
Feeling the strength within his body, he murmured to himself, "Acquired State, second layer!"
"To directly step into the Acquired State, second layer with just one Purple Leaf Grass was a natural breakthrough. Retreading the old path, it seems my cultivation speed has indeed increased a lot."
