Strongest Medical Saint

Chapter 53 Misunderstanding

Shen Feng moved too quickly.

Zheng Wanqing rushed to the collapsed hollow, but she was too late to stop him. Peering into the pitch-dark abyss, her vision was completely obstructed.

She wondered whether or not she should climb down. With her skills, such a height wasn't a challenge, yet her mind was preoccupied, thinking if the words Shen Feng had said in the sickroom were true at all?

Would her father really wake up within the next two days? Were her grandfather's and uncle's Jade Pendants truly problematic?

Recalling her encounters with Shen Feng from the first meeting until present, his words and actions indeed resembled those of a master.

If everything were true, then a master like Shen Feng surely wouldn't misconduct himself with her sister.

She didn't know what Shen Feng was going down there for, but she understood he intended for her to keep watch outside. After hesitating for a long time, she decided to wait outside a little longer. If anything happened below, it wouldn't be too late to rush down immediately.

And at the bottom of the hollow.

Upon landing, Zheng Linyi was still clutching Shen Feng's neck tightly, and he could distinctly feel the softness pressing against his back.

Fortunately, his self-control was exceptional. If it had been any other man in such a situation, they would have undoubtedly lost composure.

Clearing his throat, Shen Feng said, "You can get off now."

Zheng Linyi then slowly opened her eyes, which she had kept shut. She too felt her bosom pressed against Shen Feng's back, and her cheeks instantly became scorching hot. She hurried off, nearly stumbling, and nervously pinched the hem of her clothes.

Shen Feng walked over to the red Spiritual Pearl. Now wasn't the time to waste. He said, "Come here."

"Big brother, what do you need my help with?" Zheng Linyi asked after walking over.

"It's actually quite simple. Do you see this red pearl? Just place one hand on it, try to empty your mind, and you'll slowly feel a current of air enter your body. When that happens, don't panic. Leave the rest to me," explained Shen Feng.

Zheng Linyi didn't expect it to be such a simple task. Without further ado, she placed her left hand on the red Spiritual Pearl and followed Shen Feng's instructions. She emptied her mind, not thinking about anything, and indeed started to feel a stream flowing in through her palm, continuously surging into her body.

Moreover, the Spiritual Energy that was dispersed in the air all began to converge towards Zheng Linyi, swiftly entering her body.

After witnessing this scene, Shen Feng murmured to himself, "Not bad. Having never come into contact with any cultivation, she can already let the Spiritual Energy autonomously gather inside her. This is an inherent instinct of her Spirit Storage Body, which must be at least Upper Grade."

With the continuous influx of Spiritual Energy, Zheng Linyi didn't feel any discomfort; on the contrary, her body felt extremely comfortable, a sensation she had never experienced before.

Shen Feng took hold of Zheng Linyi's right hand.

He could feel his cultivation advancing from the Acquired Third Layer into the Acquired Fourth Layer.

Yet, the spiritual energy within the red spiritual pearl was not entirely depleted.

Zheng Linyi, enduring continuously, was drenched in sweat, with strands of her hair sticking to her forehead as if she had just undergone intense exercise.

An hour later.

Cracks began to appear on the surface of the red spiritual pearl as its spiritual energy was nearly absorbed completely.

At a certain moment.

With a "bang," the fist-sized red spiritual pearl turned to dust.

After Shen Feng absorbed the remaining spiritual energy within Zheng Linyi's body, he let go of her hand and slightly shrugged his shoulders.

The Acquired Seventh Layer!

From absorbing a nearly exhausted spiritual pearl, he had advanced directly from the Acquired Third Layer to the Acquired Seventh Layer.

Of course, this included his previous cultivation experience, and his chaotic yet supportive Immortal Emperor body played a certain role as well. Moreover, Zheng Linyi's Spirit Storage Body also provided significant help. If he had directly absorbed unrefined spiritual energy, he certainly couldn't have advanced to the Acquired Seventh Layer.

"It's so hot!" Once Shen Feng released her hand, Zheng Linyi, feeling uncomfortable, pulled at her clothing. It must have been her first time hosting spiritual energy within her body and she was just a bit unaccustomed to it.

While a Spirit Storage Body cannot absorb spiritual energy on its own, each session of spiritual energy refinement would only improve her body in all aspects.

As Shen Feng pondered.

Up above, Zheng Wanqing had been waiting for a long time. Unable to hold back any longer, she finally decided to come down and check.

However, as she climbed down, she saw her younger sister's hair plastered to her forehead by sweat, and her clothes slightly disheveled. She had not witnessed Zheng Linyi pulling at her own garments.

Especially since her sister looked as if she had just finished some kind of physical activity.

What kind of activity could she have done here? Zheng Wanqing's mind raced with possibilities. Surely, her sister must have been with Shen Feng doing...

Intense activities like those also cause one to break out in a sweat, don't they?

"You bastard, what did you do to my sister?" Zheng Wanqing roared.
