Chapter 144: Begging for Medicine!
Wenxian Sect, Little Bamboo Peak.
"Scorching Sky Blaze!"
On a cliff, Ling Feng focused on cultivating the Scorching Sky Blaze, almost to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep.
After connecting Luo Jianying's meridians, Ling Feng returned to Little Bamboo Peak and began to cultivate this sword technique with all his attention.
Ling Feng vaguely felt that the Scorching Sky Blaze should be a move in a complete set of sword techniques. Perhaps, only when he had completely mastered the first move would he be able to continue learning the subsequent moves.
In the blink of an eye, five whole days had passed.
On the third day, Ling Feng began to get used to the enormous pressure of heaven and earth, and he seemed to have begun to fuse with it as well. He would no longer be out of breath after using a single sword move.
On the fifth day, Ling Feng was finally able to fully unleash the Scorching Sky Blaze. Although it was not yet perfect, it was very clear that the power of this move was absolutely earth-shattering. It was his greatest trump card at the moment.
With every sword strike, one enemy would be killed!
Of course, this was also thanks to Ling Feng's previous cultivation of the Boundless Sword Steps, which allowed him to cleverly dissolve most of the pressure of heaven and earth, thus reducing the consumption of true qi.
This was only the incomplete Boundless Sword Steps. The complete version of the Boundless Sword Steps was probably also extraordinary.
Phew!
Letting out a long breath, Ling Feng stood up with his sword in hand, feeling a sense of connection with the Eradicator of Realms.
"This Scorching Sky Blaze consumes too much of my true qi. Even though I have already opened two meridian gates, after using the Scorching Sky Blaze once, I'm unable to continue and need to rest for more than half an hour before I can use it again."
Ling Feng was slightly dissatisfied, but he also knew that martial arts could not be rushed. In five days, he was able to train the Scorching Sky Blaze to this level, thanks to the extraordinary comprehension skill given to him by the Heavenly Dao Eye.
Just then, a soft voice came from afar, calling out, "Senior Uncle Ling!"
"That girl again."
Ling Feng shook his head and smiled. Su Hongxiu really kept her word. In the past few days, Su Hongxiu had actually been preparing all sorts of delicious food for him every day. Although there were no rich ingredients and it was a bit bland, it was indeed quite delicious.
Even Ling Feng was worried that his appetite had become too picky, and that he wouldn't be able to swallow the food he made in the future.
In a flash, Ling Feng leaped down from the steep cliff at the top of the cliff, and sure enough, he saw Su Hongxiu climbing towards the mountaintop with a food box in hand.
However, this time, in addition to Su Hongxiu, there was also a pretty young girl in red attire. She appeared slightly older than Su Hongxiu, with a more graceful and voluptuous figure.
However, on the right cheek of this girl crawled a striking and terrifying scar. Despite her deliberate attempt to conceal it with her hair, it still couldn't be completely hidden.
"Senior Uncle Ling!" Su Hongxiu warmly greeted, a smile hanging on her face.
The woman in the red dress appeared somewhat timid, standing in place, nervously saying, "Senior... Senior Uncle Ling."
Su Hongxiu gently linked her arm with the woman in red, smilingly saying, "Xiao Wu, don't be nervous. Senior Uncle Ling is very nice."
"Oh..." Xiao Wu still seemed a bit timid, unable to meet Ling Feng's gaze.
Su Hongxiu brought out a bowl of red bean porridge from the food box and offered it to Ling Feng, saying softly, "Senior Uncle Ling, this red bean porridge was made by Sister Xiao Wu herself. It's your favorite."
A hint of amusement flashed in Ling Feng's eyes; how could he not see through Su Hongxiu's little schemes?
Women by nature loved beauty. This girl named Xiao Wu, graceful and youthful, unfortunately bore a scar on her face, causing her great distress. Su Hongxiu bringing her to meet him evidently meant she wanted him to help Xiao Wu heal the scar on her face.
Ling Feng smiled faintly and said, "Actually, there was no need to go through any trouble for me to treat the scar on your face. You could have just come directly to me. Since you call me senior uncle, why would I need any benefits to heal your wounds?"
Healing the sick and saving lives was the duty of a physician.
Back when Ling Feng and his grandfather Ling Kun traveled around practicing medicine, even in the direst circumstances, they never let a patient die just because they didn't have money.
Su Hongxiu smiled. "See, Senior Uncle Ling is such a good person!"
"Alright." Ling Feng waved his hand and glanced into the distance, smiling. "Besides Xiao Wu here, you have quite a few friends who also need scar treatment, right?"
"It's not just that," Su Hongxiu stuck out her tongue. "Actually, many senior sisters saw how my skin became fairer after using the Eight Treasure Jade Essence Ointment, so..."
"Uh..." Ling Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes. Am I a physician or a beautician?
"Alright, alright." Ling Feng chuckled wryly. "The quantity of the Eight Treasure Jade Essence Ointment I made earlier is limited. Let them come tomorrow to collect the medicine."
"Mhmm!" Su Hongxiu exclaimed with delight, shouting down the mountain, "That's great! Senior Uncle Ling agreed! Sisters, come out and thank Senior Uncle Ling!"
Stomp! Stomp!
The crowd surged forward, and suddenly there were forty to fifty female disciples gathered before Ling Feng. Some had injuries on their faces, some on their arms, and others in places not easily seen. Of course, there were also some who came for beauty and skincare purposes.
Each of these female disciples carried a food box in hand, and they dashed forward to Ling Feng in a line, all bowing gracefully to him.
"Thank you, Senior Uncle Ling!"
"Senior Uncle Ling, you are truly wonderful!"
The sheer number of them that appeared in a short time truly startled Ling Feng.
Those female disciples, satisfied with Ling Feng's affirmative response, departed one by one. Before long, only Ling Feng and Su Hongxiu remained in place.
"Hehe." Su Hongxiu looked at Ling Feng somewhat embarrassedly, avoiding eye contact. "Um... I didn't expect all the senior sisters to..."
"Never mind, I didn't mean to blame you."
Ling Feng lightly smiled. Treating one was the same as treating a hundred. Not to mention, preparing Eight Treasure Jade Essence Ointment was not a difficult task. Plus,since he made a few breakthroughs with the Scorching Sky Blaze, it was also time to pause for a moment and reflect carefully.
"Then, Senior Uncle Ling, let me help you with the medicine preparation. Actually, I know a lot about herbs, so I definitely won't hinder you," Su Hongxiu said with a squinted smile.
"Is that so?" Ling Feng touched his nose. If Su Hongxiu could learn to make the Eight Treasure Jade Essence Ointment, then he wouldn't need to bother himself with such matters in the future. It would be a permanent solution!
With that in mind, Ling Feng found Su Hongxiu increasingly pleasing to the eye.
Well, let's see if Su Hongxiu has any talent in this area. If her aptitude is decent, it wouldn't hurt to cultivate it a bit and teach her some medical skills. It could end up being beneficial in the end.
