Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Seeking Medicine!

Wenxian Sect, Little Bamboo Peak.

"Leaving Fire Burning Sky!"

Atop a cliff, Ling Feng was engrossed in cultivating the Leaving Fire Burning Sky technique, reaching a state where he nearly forgot to sleep or eat.

After reconnecting Lo Jianying’s meridians, Ling Feng had returned to Little Bamboo Peak and began to fully focus on practicing this sword technique.

Ling Feng faintly felt that Leaving Fire Burning Sky must be part of a complete set of sword techniques, and perhaps, only after he had fully mastered the first move would he be able to learn the subsequent moves.

In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.

On the third day, Ling Feng had started to adapt to the tremendous pressure of heaven and earth, and it seemed he had begun to merge with it. He no longer gasped for breath every time he struck with his sword.

By the fifth day, Ling Feng’s execution of Leaving Fire Burning Sky had finally become complete. Although it wasn’t perfectly flawless, he was well aware that the power of this move was absolutely earth-shattering and it was now his strongest trump card.

With this sword technique, he was sure to defeat any enemy!

Of course, this was also thanks to his prior cultivation of the Carefree Sword Step, which allowed him to cleverly dissolve most of the heavenly pressure, thus reducing the consumption of True Qi.

And that was only the incomplete version of the Carefree Sword Step; the complete version must be extraordinary as well.

"Phew!"

Taking a deep breath, Ling Feng sheathed his sword and stood, holding the Ten Directions Annihilation in his hand, feeling a connection as if bound by blood.

"This move, Leaving Fire Burning Sky, consumes too much of my True Qi. Even though I have opened two meridian points, after performing Leaving Fire Burning Sky once, I am left powerless and need to rest for more than half an hour before I can perform it a second time."

Ling Feng was somewhat dissatisfied, but he knew that the path of Martial Arts required steady progress. Being able to train Leaving Fire to this level in five days was still thanks to the Heavenly Dao Eye, which gave Ling Feng that supernatural insight.

At this moment, a gentle voice called from a distance, "Junior Master Ling!"

"Is it that girl again?"

Ling Feng shook his head with a smile. Su Hongxiu indeed kept her word. These past few days, Su Hongxiu had prepared various delicacies for him every day. Although the ingredients were simple and the meals were somewhat plain, they were indeed quite delicious.

Ling Feng even worried that his taste had become too particular, fearing that he might find his own cooking unpalatable in the future.

With a swift leap, Ling Feng jumped down from the cliff, and sure enough, he saw Su Hongxiu climbing the mountain with a food box.

But this time, apart from Su Hongxiu, there was also a pretty young woman in red, a few years older than Su Hongxiu, with a more curvaceous figure.

However, there was a startling scar on the right cheek of the young woman, which she tried to cover with her hair, but couldn’t completely hide.

"Junior Master Ling!" Su Hongxiu greeted him enthusiastically, a smile on her face.

The woman in red appeared somewhat timid, standing still and saying nervously, "Ju-junior Master Ling."

Su Hongxiu gently took the woman in red’s arm, beaming, "Little Wu, don’t be nervous, Junior Master Ling is really nice."

"Oh..." Little Wu was obviously still quite shy, not daring to look into Ling Feng’s eyes.

Su Hongxiu brought out a bowl of red bean porridge from the food box and presented it to Ling Feng, gently saying, "Junior Master Ling, this was personally made by Sister Little Wu for you. It’s your favorite red bean porridge."

A hint of a smile flashed in Ling Feng’s eyes; he could easily see through Su Hongxiu’s little scheme.

Naturally, women are inclined to seek beauty. This girl named Little Wu, youthful and graceful yet marred by a scar on her face, was naturally very troubled. Su Hongxiu bringing her to see him was clearly a request for him to heal the scar on Little Wu’s face.

Ling Feng smiled faintly, "Actually, to seek treatment for facial scars, there’s absolutely no need to go through such trouble, you could have just come directly to me. Since you call me ’Junior Master’, why would I need any benefits to treat you?"

Healing the sick was the natural duty of a doctor.

Back when Ling Feng and his grandfather Ling Kun wandered as physicians, no matter how destitute they were, they never refused to save a life because of a patient’s inability to pay.

With a beaming smile, Su Hongxiu said, "I told you, Junior Master Ling is such a good person!"

"Alright," Ling Feng waved his hand and looked into the distance with a smile, "Besides Little Wu, you must have quite a few friends who also need treatment for scars, right?"

"Not entirely," Su Hongxiu stuck out her tongue, "Actually, many of my fellow sisters saw how after applying the Eight Treasures Jade Treasure Ointment, their skin became more tender and so..."

"Uh..." Ling Feng rolled his eyes involuntarily, was he a doctor or a beautician?

"Never mind," Ling Feng chuckled wryly, "The batch of Eight Treasures Jade Treasure Ointment I previously made wasn’t large. Ask them to come for the medicine tomorrow."

"Yes!" Su Hongxiu exclaimed with joy, yelling down the mountain, "Great, Junior Master Ling has agreed! Sisters, come out and thank Junior Master Ling!"

There was a rustling sound!

With pushing and shoving, around forty or fifty female disciples appeared in front of Ling Feng. Some had scars on their faces, others on their arms, and some on hidden spots, of course. Some were simply seeking "beauty enhancements."

Each of these female disciples carried a food box and trotted up to Ling Feng, bowing in unison.

"Thank you, Junior Master Ling!"

"Junior Master Ling, you are truly wonderful!"

For a moment, the area was filled with the chatter of beautiful women, a sight which truly startled Ling Feng.

...

Having received Ling Feng’s affirmative response, the female disciples left satisfied. Soon, only Ling Feng and Su Hongxiu remained.

"Hehe," Su Hongxiu shyly looked at Ling Feng, her gaze somewhat evasive, "I... I didn’t know my fellow sisters would..."

"It’s alright, I’m not blaming you."

Ling Feng smiled faintly, treating one was just as good as treating a hundred. Anyway, preparing the Eight Treasures Jade Treasure Ointment wasn’t difficult, and given the breakthroughs in "Leaving Fire Burning Sky" today, it was perhaps time to pause and reflect deeply.

"Then Junior Master Ling, let me help you prepare the medicine. I actually know a lot about various herbs, I definitely won’t be in the way," Su Hongxiu squinted her eyes and smiled.

"Is that so?" Ling Feng touched his nose. If Su Hongxiu could learn to make the Eight Treasures Jade Treasure Ointment, he wouldn’t need to be bothered in the future, a permanent solution!

Thinking this, Ling Feng found Su Hongxiu increasingly agreeable.

Well, let’s see if Su Hongxiu has the talent for it. If her aptitude is decent, perhaps he could train her a bit, letting her learn some medical skills, which would definitely be beneficial.
