Strongest Medical Saint

They didn't talk much about tomorrow's funeral.

Shen Feng, Xu Huifang, and the others had a cheerful dinner before watching TV together in the living room for a while.

It was only afterwards that Xu Huifang took Shen Feng to the bedroom prepared for him.

When they first bought this villa, Xu Huifang and the others had set up a room for Shen Feng, which by now was fully furnished.

Shen Feng felt no attachment to the so-called Capital City Xu Family; if it weren't for the consideration of Xu Huifang and others, he wouldn't waste his time on such family affairs.

To put it more bluntly, what did the death of the old man of the Xu Family have to do with him?

It wasn't that Shen Feng was heartless, but rather that the previous actions of the Xu Family had been truly cold-blooded.

After Xu Huifang left the room, Shen Feng casually sat down in a chair.

The Emperor King Jue within his body slowly circulated, and he couldn't help but introspect his Dantian.

Within his Dantian, aside from the Weird Black Spot, the Limitless Emperor Flame, and the Nine Nether Azure Flame, there was additionally a drop of Original Blood from the Undead Monster Scorpion.

The Undead Monster Scorpion originally forced a drop of Original Blood out of its body to give to Shen Feng.

One must realize that Original Blood was also extremely important to the Undead Monster Scorpion, and a single drop of it had a high chance of cultivating a Cultivator with the Undead Bloodline.

The Undead Bloodline was also a very powerful lineage in the Immortal Realm, offering the ability to endlessly rebirth as long as part of the body remained intact, unless the opponent could transform it into nothingness in one go.

Shen Feng sensed the drop of purple Original Blood inside his Dantian, which he had acquired some time ago.

Now, this drop of Original Blood seemed to have become even more purple than before, he wondered if this was just his own illusion?

However, looking at the drop of Original Blood now, it showed no signs of merging with Shen Feng anytime soon.

This was within Shen Feng's expectations; the Undead Bloodline was not something that could be easily obtained.

Setting aside the matter of the Undead Bloodline for the time being, he thought about how the Black Dot had restored Gabriel's energy within his body before.

The sky outside had now completely darkened.

Taking advantage of the night, it would be a good opportunity to test just how much energy of those who had died many years ago the Black Dot could restore.

Shen Feng was a man of action; he hardly hesitated when he set his mind to something.

Without disturbing Xu Huifang and the others resting, he directly opened the window and flew out through it, stepping on the Heavenly Blood Sword.

He sped across the sky.

Not long after,

he happened to pass over a commercial cemetery. All the people buried there had been cremated into ashes. He was uncertain whether the Black Dot could still restore their energy as they had been in life.

At that thought,

Shen Feng landed in the commercial cemetery, stepping on the Heavenly Blood Sword. The owner of the tombstone in front of him had been dead for five years, and Shen Feng directly sensed the ashes of this man.

Of course, he did not intend to disturb the ashes of these ordinary people; he merely wanted to test the effect of the Black Dot.

After sensing the ashes of the tombstone's owner, the Black Dot inside his Dantian really started to spin.

Soon, a black light burst forth from the Black Dot.

This black light passed through Shen Feng's body and shone onto the grave.

Shen Feng's Perceptive Force remained focused on the ashes inside all the while, and as the black light beamed on them, they started to sparkle brilliantly, and truly, the energy from before the owner's death began to restore.

However, since the deceased was just an ordinary person, the energy restored was extremely limited, and naturally, Shen Feng did not intend to absorb the energy of an ordinary human.

Now that he had a certain control over the Black Dot, he immediately stopped its operation.

For the black light emanating from the Black Dot to still be able to restore one's energy in life after the body had turned into ash, this was simply incredibly spectacular.

Having noticed this, Shen Feng did not linger too long in front of this tombstone; he walked over to the others.

He stopped in front of the tombstone of someone who had died ten years ago and, using the same method, he discovered that the black dot could still restore the energy from their life.

Next, he proceeded to the tombstones of individuals who had passed away fifteen and nineteen years earlier, and the black dot was still able to restore their life energy.

However, when he came to the tombstone of someone who had been dead for twenty-three years and tried to test it again, this time the black light shone down, but no energy was restored from the ashes.

So a person dead for twenty-three years couldn't be restored?

Shen Feng specifically sought out the graves of people who had died twenty-two, twenty-one, and twenty years ago, eventually discovering that, at present, the black light emanating from the black dot could only restore the life energy of those who had died within the past twenty years.

Wasn't that a bit too limiting?

Previously, Shen Feng had speculated that the black dot certainly couldn't restore the energy of those who had died thousands, even tens of thousands of years ago.

But to only be able to restore energy from twenty years prior was something he had not anticipated.

His brow furrowed slightly.

Choosing a spot around the graveyard to tread with his Heavenly Blood Sword, he prepared to swallow Mysterious Qi Pills and attempt a breakthrough to the middle stage of the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment to prove whether an increase in cultivation would also enhance the ability of the black dot.

Although he had only recently broken through to the initial stage of the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment and had never experienced it before, he was now too curious about the black dot.

After all, the most difficult part was transitioning from the peak of the Eighth Layer to the initial stage of the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment, and he had managed to overcome that hurdle.

By comparison,

moving from the initial stage to the middle stage of the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment was not as difficult.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Shen Feng swallowed one Mysterious Qi Pill after another. It would definitely require a substantial amount of Mysterious Qi Pills to move from the initial to the middle stage of the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment.

The medicinal power of each Mysterious Qi Pill continuously dissolved inside Shen Feng's body.

Time ticked away by the second.

He didn't know how many Mysterious Qi Pills he had swallowed.

Shen Feng's meridians felt a slight throbbing pain, as surging Spiritual Energy coursed through them.

In his mind, he was constantly comprehending the key to breaking through to the middle stage of the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment.

He was certain that the accumulation of energy inside his body was sufficient, and now it all depended on his own perceptiveness.

The Emperor King Jue inside his body operated ceaselessly.

Shen Feng's breathing was extremely rhythmic. In the midst of the night, he seemed to have transformed into a statue.

At a certain moment,

the rhythm of his breathing changed, the beating of his pulse changed, the flow of Spiritual Energy in his meridians also changed.

The speed of everything moving within his body altered—whether it was breathing or the beating of his pulse, everything synchronized to a single rhythm.

A gust of cold wind blew by.

It caused the grass on the ground to flutter continuously.

Then, something incredibly unbelievable happened. Even the fluttering grass on the ground synchronized its frequency with Shen Feng's breathing and other rhythms.

With a "boom!"

All of a sudden,

like a spring gushing forth, Spiritual Energy flowed unceasingly from Shen Feng's body, and the aura inside his body underwent a very apparent change.

This was the aura of the middle stage of the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment.

This breakthrough wasn't violent but rather everything seemed very gentle.

After all, it was the last of the Foundation Establishment stage, similar to the last phase of laying a foundation. After stepping into the initial stage of the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment, every subsequent breakthrough to the peak would be smooth. This was a form of nourishment for the body so that cultivators could go further and reach higher realms in the future.
