The Divine Doctor and Stay-at-home Dad

The Tortoise Spiritual Spring was a day’s journey away from the Tortoise Academy. It was located in a swamp.

When Qin Haodong and the others got closer to it, they could feel that the Spiritual Qi was denser in that location.

The main spring of the Tortoise Spiritual Spring was located in the middle of the swamp. However, it was heavily guarded. No one else was allowed to enter.

Within a hundred miles of the main spring, there were dozens of big and small Spiritual Springs. They were occupied by the other forces within the kingdom.

The five Spiritual Springs that belonged to Tortoise Academy were relatively close. Their locations were good. In order to prevent others from recklessly using them, the Tortoise Academy sent ten teachers to guard this place every year.

Because the Tortoise Kingdom had already distributed the Spiritual Springs nearby, there was not much competition for interests. Being stationed here was just a token gesture. Generally speaking, there was no dispute here.

Although the teachers guarding here couldn’t enter the Spiritual Springs to cultivate, the Spiritual Qi here was more than ten times richer than that of other places. Therefore, it benefitted those who were on guard here. Every year, teachers eagerly took turns to be on duty here.

The closer they got to this place, the denser the Spiritual Qi was. The most important thing was that the Spiritual Qi here seemed to have spirituality. It involuntarily drilled into their pores. The speed of absorption was several times faster than that of the Spirit Stones.

It was Fang Qiong’er first time to come here. She couldn’t help sighing. “It’s so comfortable here. If I can cultivate here for a long time, my cultivation will definitely improve at a tremendous pace.”

Tu Jiaojiao said, “Don’t even think about it. The resource of the Spiritual Springs is limited. Only a few people can enjoy it.”

As they spoke, they followed behind Luo Dongqing and landed next to the five Spiritual Springs.

Seeing the arrival of Luo Dongqing, the teachers on guard duty immediately surrounded him and inquired about his well-being. Then, Luo Dongqing arranged the cultivation matters.

The five Spiritual Springs were not too far apart, only about dozens of meters. Qin Haodong and You Wanren were assigned to the centermost Spiritual Spring. The other students entered the remaining four Spiritual Springs.

The water of the Spiritual Spring looked extremely clear. In fact, it was not ordinary water. They were drops of Spiritual Qi condensed when the Spiritual Qi was too rich.

The sizes of the five Spiritual Springs were similar, about 10 meters in diameter.

After Qin Haodong stepped into the spring, he was instantly surrounded by the rich SpiritualThe size of the five Spiritual Springs were similar, about 10 meters in diameter.

Qi.

Compared with the Spiritual Qi emitted by the top-level Spirit Stones, the Spiritual Qi here seemed to be alive. It could actively cooperate with cultivation and constantly seep into the pores of a cultivator to improve his or her physique.

He sighed in his heart. This was indeed a good place to cultivate. It seemed that he would likely be able to break through to the early stage of the Combination Realm.

You Wanren sat opposite Qin Haodong. There was a flash of pride and cunning in his eyes.

Luo Dongqing said, “Everyone, be careful. The time you can absorb is only 12 hours. After that, we will be leaving this place. Everyone should cherish this opportunity and quickly cultivate.”

You Wanren said guiltily, “Brother Qin, you’d better hurry up. I’m absorbing it fast. I am afraid that there won’t be any Spiritual Qi left for you to absorb at that time.”

Qin Haodong smiled. “It doesn’t matter. My absorption speed is quite fast, too.”

You Wanren said, “Then, let’s have a competition. Don’t cry if you can’t get any Spiritual Qi!”

Qin Haodong immediately understood why this guy wanted to share the Spiritual Spring with him. He smiled and said, “Okay!”

You Wanren stopped talking. He closed his eyes and began to run the Great Absorption Skill. For a moment, the Spiritual Qi in the Spiritual Spring seemed to be affected by a huge attraction and rushed into his body.

“You do have some skills, but you’re nowhere near as good as me.”

Qin Haodong smiled. Next, he began to run Eternal-Life-Obtaining Green-Wood to absorb the Spiritual Qi here.

According to his cultivation theory, he was an empty barrel. When cultivating, he only needed to constantly add water to it.

However, You Wanren and the others were different. Even if You Wanren used the Great Absorption Skill, he had to consider the volume of the barrel. The cultivation of ordinary people was absorbing Spiritual Qi while raising the height of the barrel. If they absorbed too much, the barrel would explode.

In this case, Qin Haodong’s absorption speed was indescribably fast.

If You Wanren was just like a small extractor hood that kept sucking Spiritual Qi into his body, Qin Haodong was a high-powered pump that crazily sucked the Spiritual Qi into its own barrel.

You Wanren was proud as he absorbed the Spiritual Qi. According to this speed, he would be able to absorb all the Spiritual Qi in the Spiritual Spring in less than half a day. Qin Haodong couldn’t even get one-tenth of it.

He even fantasized about how annoyed Qin Haodong would be.

However, all of a sudden, he found that even if he operated his Great Absorption Skill to the extreme, he still couldn’t absorb any Spiritual Qi.

“What’s going on? Could it be that the Spiritual Qi was completely sucked out as soon as it started? That’s absolutely impossible! I’ve been here before. The Spiritual Qi contained within the Spiritual Spring was sufficient to be absorbed for a period of time.”

He opened his eyes and saw a strange scene. The Spiritual Qi in the entire Spiritual Spring poured continuously into Qin Haodong’s body, like rivers flowing into the sea.

It was no wonder he hadn’t been able to snatch even the slightest bit of Spiritual Qi. The absorption force of the other side was too great. All the Spiritual Qi had been absorbed by Qin Haodong, so how could he absorb any more?

“What… what method is this?”

You Wanren was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. However, Qin Haodong absorbed Spiritual Qi using his own ability. He had said that he wanted to have a competition to see who was faster. What could he say now?

He could only sit down again and run his Great Absorption Skill with all his might. But he still couldn’t grab much Spiritual Qi. This sort of cultivation speed couldn’t even compare to that when he was at the Tortoise Academy.

Compared with Qin Haodong’s amazing speed, he seemed to be drinking water with a straw. Qin Haodong was drinking water with a high-power pump. The difference was hundreds or thousands of times greater.

You Wanren opened his eyes again. He saw the Spiritual Qi was being absorbed into the body of Qin Haodong like rivers flowing into the sea. Qin Haodong’s momentum became stronger and stronger and he was about to complete the breakthrough.

“This boy actually wants to break through here!”

There was a flash of fierceness in his eyes. It seemed that it was a good time for him to take revenge. With this thought, a dagger appeared in his palm.

Just when he was about to make his move, a figure flashed by. Luo Dongqing appeared beside the Spiritual Spring.

It was impossible not to attract the attention of Luo Dongqing when Qin Haodong made such a big move, so Luo Dongqing came over. The teachers who were guarding the place and the other students who were cultivating also came over.

With so many people around, You Wanren would not that stupid to do it. He put the dagger in his hand back into the Storage Ring and had a surprised expression on his face.

A teacher stationed next to the Spiritual Spring said to Luo Dongqing, “Director, is this a student of our academy? He is simply a monster. I have never seen anyone absorb Spiritual Qi so quickly.”

Luo Dongqing was also very surprised. He sighed and said, “You’re right. This boy is a monster!”

Seeing Qin Haodong’s momentum getting stronger and stronger, Murong Jinghong said, “Director, is he going to break through?”

Luo Dongqing said, “Looks like it won’t be long.”

“Oh, no, Director! Look, the water of this Spiritual Spring is about to dry up!”

Previously, everyone’s attention was on Qin Haodong, so they did not pay any attention to the water level in the Spiritual Spring. At this time, they found that the originally one-meter-deep water in the Spiritual Spring was now only palm deep. The Spiritual Qi was very thin now.

After talking for a while, under Qin Haodong’s crazy absorption, the Water of the Spiritual Spring was completely sucked up. There was no Spiritual Qi left in the Spirit Spring.

You Wanren’s face turned livid. At this moment, he almost wanted to cry. If he had known that he would meet such a monster, he would never have agreed to share the Spiritual Spring with Qin Haodong.

But now, not only did he fail to gain an advantage, on the contrary, but he also wasted this rare opportunity.

Qin Haodong was about to break through. He suddenly felt that the surrounding Spiritual Qi was declining rapidly. In the end, he did not cross the threshold of the Combination Realm.

He opened his eyes and first saw the dried-up Spiritual Spring. Then, he saw the stunned people around him. He slowly realized what had happened.

Fang Qiong’er asked, “Senior Brother, have you broken through?”

Qin Haodong said with a little embarrassment, “Not yet. I’ve used up all the Spiritual Qi in the Spiritual Spring. I was almost there.”

Yun Qianqian said, “Just use mine. Anyway, Sister Qiong’er and I have just broken through. Even if we absorb any more of the Spiritual Qi, it will be difficult for us to break through again.”

Qin Haodong said with some embarrassment, “That won’t do!”

Fang Qiong’er pulled him over and said, “Why not? This is a rare opportunity. Hurry up and make the most of it.”

With that, she and Yun Qianqian pulled Qin Haodong into their Spiritual Spring, side by side.

They were very grateful to Qin Haodong. If it were not for Qin Haodong’s help before, even if they used the Spiritual Spring here, they wouldn’t have reached the final stage of the Voiding Realm.

More importantly, they were not only grateful but also willing to make some sacrifices for the man in front of them.

Qin Haodong did not refuse. He sat cross-legged in the Spiritual Spring of the two girls and continued to absorb the Spiritual Qi to break through.

In an instant, he was like a motor running again. The Spiritual Qi in the Spiritual Spring rushed into his body again.

With the guarantee of enough Spiritual Qi, his momentum became stronger and stronger. About a quarter of an hour later, there was a sudden cracking sound in his body. He broke through the bottleneck of the Combination Realm in an instant.

When he opened his eyes again, half of the Spiritual Qi in the Spiritual Spring had been drained. His cultivation had officially reached the stage of the Combination Realm.

He came out of the Spiritual Spring and said to Fang Qiong’er and Yun Qianqian, “Thank you very much!”

Fang Qiong’er said, “It’s nothing. Absorb the rest if you need it!”

Qin Haodong shook his head and said, “I don’t need it. You absorb the rest.”

The improvement of his cultivation was completely nothing short of spectacular. The higher his cultivation was, the more Spiritual Qi would be needed.

Now, even if he absorbed the rest of the Qi from the three Spiritual Springs, he would not be able to make a breakthrough again. It was better to leave it for the two girls to absorb.

After that, he turned to You Wanren and said playfully, “I’m sorry. I absorbed it too fast. I’ve used up all your Spiritual Qi.”

You Wanren felt as if his lungs were about to explode. However, he couldn’t say anything.

Looking at his angry face, Qin Haodong smiled and said again, “We had a deal. You can’t cry because you lost.”

You Wanren snorted coldly and turned his head away. He had no Spiritual Qi to use now. He could only find a stone nearby and sit down.

Luo Dongqing said to the other students, “Everyone, don’t be affected. Hurry up and cultivate.”

The other students had seen most of it. They were all jealous of Qin Haodong’s cultivation and returned to their Spiritual Springs to absorb the Spiritual Qi.

However, at this moment, a ghost-like cry came. “There’s no need to cultivate. You are all goners. Why waste the Spiritual Qi here?”

Luo Dongqing turned his head and saw a man in black with a golden mask standing behind him, followed by dozens of ghost slaves in black.

They were the people of the Ghost King Sect. Their cultivation was not low. The leader with the golden mask had even reached the stage of the Grand Completion Realm. This immediately made Luo Dongqing nervous.
