Medical Sage

At the same time, outside the Falling God Valley, the moment the restrictions of the Outer Valley disappeared, Hunchback Qin Gong and the white-haired, long-pin elder True Joy had already sensed it. Both their expressions changed, and their powerful Divine Senses swept across a vast area.

Then, they both flashed and appeared in front of Wei Qingshan of the White Bone Sect and the Flying Leopard-like creature from the Celestial Demon Sect, both looking equally shocked.

”Lord Qin Gong, Senior...” As soon as the two saw Qin Gong and the elder appear, they quickly saluted.

”Where are they?” The white-haired, long-pin elder True Joy frowned and asked.

”They, they went to the Inner Valley. We were injured trying to fight the Ancient Moon Devouring Toad to the death, so we didn’t follow them.”

Wei Qingshan spoke without hesitation.

”Indeed...” The Flying Leopard-like creature from the Celestial Demon Sect immediately nodded. Then it looked serious, and said slowly, ”But just now...”

”Just now what?” Hunchback Qin Gong pressed for more details.

”Just now, there was a terrifying commotion from the Inner Valley, as if a battle was taking place...” Wei Qingshan quickly recounted the earlier commotion.

”Is that so?” Hunchback Qin Gong and the white-haired, long-pin elder True Joy exchanged a glance, seeing ’something amiss’ in each other’s eyes.

Hunchback Qin Gong’s expression involuntarily turned grim. The white-haired, long-pin elder True Joy’s eyes became somewhat cold as well.

Seeing this, both Wei Qingshan and the Flying Leopard creature exchanged a glance, remaining as silent as cicadas in winter, neither daring to speak, feeling the oppressive atmosphere.

”It seems there’s a problem? Is it because of that lad...”

A moment later, the white-haired, long-pin elder True Joy narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured.

Hunchback Qin Gong cast a cold glance at him, his gaze icy. Without speaking, he touched the bumps on his face with trembling fingers, gradually closing his eyes.

This silence, this coldness, made not only Wei Qingshan and the Flying Leopard-like creature uneasy but even the white-haired, long-pin elder True Joy’s heart skipped a beat after that glance.

He was no fool and naturally understood that Qin Gong absolutely regarded the treasures within the Falling God Valley, especially the Nirvana Blood Pool, as his own, and would not allow anyone to take them from his grasp—not even him, True Joy!

However, now it seemed that something went wrong in the Falling God Valley.

”...I should have killed that lad earlier.” A moment later, Hunchback Qin Gong suddenly spoke coldly, his voice so frigid that even the white-haired, long-pin elder True Joy couldn’t help but feel his heart leap.

”Now, the range of the Falling God Valley’s restrictions has shrunk to just the Inner Valley in the center... We will guard one side each, and once anyone tries to come out, they can’t escape even if they grew wings!” A moment later, the white-haired, long-pin elder True Joy said.

Swoosh!

Hunchback Qin Gong didn’t speak, but he responded directly with action.

He flew into the sky, his figure flashed, and he appeared to the east of the Outer Inner Valley, sitting cross-legged as his massive and formidable Divine Sense spread out...

Seeing this, the white-haired, long-pin elder True Joy also moved, rising into the air and flying toward the northern sky outside the Inner Valley, spreading out his Divine Sense strength.

Upon seeing this, Wei Qingshan and the Flying Leopard-like creature gazed from afar at Qin Gong in the sky, sensing the undercurrent beneath the latter’s calm demeanor, and both broke out in a cold sweat, becoming anxiously uneasy.

At this moment, even if they wanted to leave, they probably could only do so after everything settled down. Otherwise, if there was any hint of suspicion, Qin Gong would not spare them and would kill them directly!

...

While the outside world was immersed in an eerily silent atmosphere, inside the Inner Valley of the Falling God Valley, the shattered earth, the dim sky, and the twisted spatial rifts instinctively made one shudder.

Considering the time, since Dao Lord Zhengqing and Chen Fei started their retreat, it had been almost half a month.

During this half month, Chen Fei’s expression changed from initially ferocious and painful to now being as serene as a still pond, which clearly indicated something must have occurred. Whether it was good or bad, successful or not, no one knew.

Besides him, Dao Lord Zhengqing had enveloped himself entirely in a giant, milky-white cocoon through some secret method. However, on that day, the cocoon gradually turned into white light points and disappeared.

Then, a robust presence slowly stood up.

”It’s finally almost done... Hmm? This lad, he...”

Feeling the power within him returning to the True Person Realm, even if only at the Minor Heavenly Position, Dao Lord Zhengqing nodded with satisfaction. But in the next second, as his eyes subconsciously glanced not far away, his gaze involuntarily paused.

Subsequently, his gaze even clenched slightly.

”He actually did it?” Sensing the extraordinary aura emanating from within Chen Fei, Dao Lord Zhengqing couldn’t help but feel a bit surprised.

With his broad experience, he naturally knew that Chen Fei’s change in aura was undoubtedly due to gaining significant benefits and undergoing a transformation...

And at this time, what could possibly have given this lad such significant benefits? Needless to say, it was, of course, the Nirvana Blood Pool.

”Impressive...”

A moment later, even this top-tier figure who had once reached the Great Heaven Rank couldn’t help but softly praise. Whether it was the fact that Chen Fei could actually refine the trump card of the Nirvana Blood Pool now, or his earlier thrilling battle with the Scarlet Star Demon Lord, it exceeded his expectations. If it had been an ordinary person, they might have been dead already.

But not only did Chen Fei survive, his growth speed was also incredibly astonishing, almost unbelievable.

”Next, he must completely refine the Nirvana Blood Pool and absorb its blood. The legendary True Spirit Blood... I wonder what heights it will help you reach... truly something to look forward to.”

Dao Lord Zhengqing muttered to himself and then sat down cross-legged, quietly watching.

...

Another half month passed, and the solidifying, suffocating atmosphere of the Outer Valley not only did not weaken, but became even more intense, making one feel a bone-chilling coldness.

The old man True Joy with the long white pine hairpin stared intently at the motionless inner valley prohibition, finally showing some impatience, or perhaps anxiety. He whispered, ”How come none of them have come out yet, are they all dead?”

Facing the direction he was looking, as if hearing his words, Hunchback Qin Gong opened his eyes, his gaze cold, mumbling softly with an icy voice, ”Dead or not, keep waiting. If they haven’t come out in another month, even if I get injured, I will blast open this prohibition to see what exactly is hidden inside this inner valley!?”

”Hmm.”

The old man True Joy with the long white pine hairpin also nodded slightly. When he previously attacked this Falling God Valley, although he retreated, it was only to avoid injury. But if he truly wanted to break it open, there were ways.

Furthermore, compared to the previous prohibition on the Outer Valley, the prohibition on this so-called inner valley now seems much weaker...

”I really want to see what’s going on... is it because of that kid, or is there something hidden within the inner valley that only reveals pieces?”

Hunchback Qin Gong stared coldly at the inner valley, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

The treasure within Falling God Valley, he has been plotting for three hundred years, having wasted so much time, he must succeed without failure!

...

Another month later, in the inner valley of Falling God Valley, the area where Chen Fei sat cross-legged for breakthrough was already shrouded in brilliant golden light.

The brilliance and brilliance of the golden light, even Dao Lord Zhengqing felt a sting when looking directly at it. Thus, the shock in his heart deepened involuntarily.

”Huff~ Huff...”

Within that dazzling golden light, a faint golden-colored skeleton was vaguely visible within the flames. The skeleton bore a nine-color golden glow full of spiritual charm, incredibly mysterious, indestructible, and exuded a strong aura.

Within that nine-color golden glow, some patterns could faintly be seen on the skeleton, purple-gold in color! Purple Firmament Runes? Yet somewhat different, as these patterns contained a heavy sense of antiquity, extremely ancient.

As the skeleton emitted natural rhythmic breathing sounds from an unknown source, strands of veins and flesh began to gradually grow... this process was neither too fast nor too slow.

In about a day’s time, a head began to form, then the chest cavity, arms, abdomen, lower limbs... and so on.

Meanwhile, a faint yet domineering fluctuation, even causing Dao Lord Zhengqing to raise his eyebrows slightly, was released from that newly formed body.

”Has he become more formidable again? Is it because of the Nirvana Blood Pool... or has this kid not reached his limit yet?”

Dao Lord Zhengqing’s eyes were tightly fixed on this miraculous scene, watching from start to finish. He knew that after this rebirth of bones and flesh, Chen Fei’s body would likely become several levels more formidable than before. Paired with the Nirvana Blood Pool...

”Fortunately, the Nirvana Blood Pool can enhance a person’s potential, but doesn’t have much effect on directly enhancing strength, or else this kid might just ascend to heaven in a single step?”

Dao Lord Zhengqing shook his head and couldn’t help but sigh, muttering.

”But where did this little monster come from? Such talent, it’s almost defying the heavens...”

...

Outside the Inner Valley.

Since Chen Fei swallowed the Nirvana Blood Pool and began his secluded cultivation, more than two months had passed. And in that time, about enough to finally wear down all of Qin Gong’s patience!

”I can’t wait any longer!”

A cold, low growl, Qin Gong shot up, his eyes glaring fiercely at the Inner Valley which had been silent for over two months, his eyes filled with an ominous shadow, saying, ”True Joy, let’s join hands and blast open the prohibition of this Inner Valley!”

”Blast it open?”

The old man True Joy with the long white pine hairpin frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, but also lost his patience, then gritted his teeth and nodded at Qin Gong, ”Alright, let’s do it together then...”

Meanwhile, over on Chen Fei’s side in the inner valley, there was also a new change in circumstances.
