Chapter 126: Spirit Replenishing Marrow!

Before Ling Feng could even nod in agreement, a purple figure suddenly darted out from the bamboo tower, flying towards him. It shouted, "Master, you forgot about me!"

That purple shadow was none other than Zifeng.

After completing its molting evolution, Zifeng transformed into a small, dark red stone figure. Over these past few days, it had reverted to its original color, transforming into a light purple stone figure.

This little guy's jumping ability was quite astonishing. Despite being only seven inches in size, with a kick, it jumped directly onto Ling Feng's shoulder, plopping down in a carefree manner.

"

Huh?

Senior Uncle Ling Feng, what is this thing?"

Upon seeing the little creature on Ling Feng's shoulder, Su Hongxiu immediately became interested. Indeed, with its appearance, Zifeng was quite adorable, being able to win over a girl's heart easily.

Even Jiang Wanqing couldn't help but gaze at Zifeng, her eyes curving into crescents.

"Who are you calling a thing? Your whole family are things!" Zifeng retorted upon hearing Su Hongxiu's words, immediately placing its hands on its hips and bouncing up, "I'm not just some thing, I'm my master's spirit pet, Master Zifeng!"

"Master Zifeng?"

Su Hongxiu and Jiang Wanqing exchanged a glance, evidently not having seen such a petite spirit pet before.

Can such a little creature really help its master in battle?

"Indeed!" Zifeng crossed its arms, looking proud and smug.

"

Wow,

what a cute little creature! Senior Uncle Ling Feng, can I play with it...?" Su Hongxiu looked at Ling Feng with eager anticipation.

Ling Feng thought it would be too lonely to leave Su Hongxiu here alone, so it wouldn't hurt to leave Zifeng behind to accompany her.

With that in mind, Ling Feng casually picked up Zifeng and handed it to Su Hongxiu, saying calmly, "Zifeng, then you'll stay here with Hongxiu."

"

Mhmm! Mhmm!

" Su Hongxiu exclaimed with joy upon hearing Lingfeng's decision to let the adorable little creature accompany her. Being a young girl of around fourteen or fifteen, she was filled with excitement at the prospect of having such delightful company.

"

Ah?

What's the point of me accompanying a little girl like her?" Zifeng responded with a disappointed expression, clearly reluctant and unenthusiastic about the idea.

"You're just a little guy too." Ling Feng chided with a playful glare, then admonished, "Remember, no running around aimlessly, and absolutely no bullying people, got it?"

"Got it, got it." Zifeng bounced from Su Hongxiu's palm to the top of her head in a couple of hops, adopting a serious expression. "Little girl, since Master entrusted you to me, you better behave yourself and listen to me!"

"Got it!" Su Hongxiu nodded immediately, but due to her enthusiastic nodding, she nearly knocked Zifeng off her head.

Fortunately, Zifeng grabbed onto a few strands of her hair, so it was fine, but Su Hongxiu winced in pain.

As Su Hongxiu winced in pain and let out an

ouch

, Zifeng couldn't contain his laughter. But in the midst of his mirth, he accidentally released his grip on her hair, resulting in him falling to the ground with a loud thud.

"

Hahaha...

" This time it was Su Hongxiu's turn to laugh heartily. "Master Zifeng, you're so clumsy!"

"Rubbish, you're the clumsy one!"

"

Hehehe,

you’re clumsy!"

...

"It seems they're doing quite well."

Ling Feng touched his nose bridge and glanced at Jiang Wanqing, then smiled faintly. "Let's go."

Jiang Wanqing pursed her lips and smiled, gracefully stepping forward to follow behind Ling Feng.

...

Before long, Ling Feng and Jiang Wanqing arrived at the medicinal pavilion.

The Wenxian Sect's medicinal pavilion was where various pills and medicinal herbs were stored.

Ling Feng had already formulated a preliminary treatment plan for Luo Jianying's injuries. Using the Profound Art of Acupuncture and Moxibustion to reconnect his meridians posed no significant issue. However, the reconnected meridians would be extremely fragile afterward, and it was feared that Luo Jianying might have to bid farewell to the path of martial arts at his current level.

However, if they were to use a treasure known as the Spirit Replenishing Marrow, it could completely restore Luo Jianying and even make his meridians even more resilient.

The Spirit Replenishing Marrow is a substance similar to stalactites. Although not extremely rare, it is still a quite precious treasure.

Ling Feng's visit to the medicinal pavilion this time was to see if there was any Spirit Replenishing Marrow available.

Ling Feng strode into the medicinal pavilion, and upon seeing him, the staff immediately approached him respectfully.

As it was still early in the day, there were not a lot of disciples present at the medicinal pavilion to exchange medicines. Those disciples who were in the pavilion still bore traces of drowsiness.

"Good morning, Senior Uncle Ling Feng!"

After the Iron Blood Alliance incident, Ling Feng's reputation within the Wenxian Sect grew even stronger. Previously, he only intimidated some inner sect disciples at the Qi Formation Realm, but now, even those direct disciples and inner sect elders regarded Ling Feng with both reverence and fear.

They respected Ling Feng's courage and feared his methods!

"

Mhmm,

good morning." Ling Feng nodded slightly and asked in a gentle tone, "I'm here to exchange for some medicinal herbs. Could you please show me the inventory list?"

"Of course," a slightly chubby disciple quickly retrieved a ledger from the counter and said with a smile, "Senior Uncle Ling Feng, please take a look."

𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Thank you." Ling Feng took the ledger and began to examine it carefully.

The disciple at the medicinal pavilion blinked in surprise.

Thank you?

It seems that Senior Uncle Ling Feng isn't as cold and ruthless as the rumors have suggested!

Indeed, thinking about it, if Ling Feng were truly cold and heartless, how could he have possibly charged into the Iron Blood Alliance just to seek justice for Luo Jianying, and uproot such a formidable force?

After a moment, Ling Feng closed the ledger with a soft sigh.

Some medicinal herbs to aid in the recovery of Luo Jianying were available in the medicinal hall, but as Ling Feng went through it from cover to cover, he didn't come across the Spirit Replenishing Marrow that he was looking for.

"Is there no Spirit Replenishing Marrow available in the medicinal pavilion?" Ling Feng returned the ledger and asked the chubby disciple.

"Spirit Replenishing Marrow?" The chubby disciple squinted his eyes, pondering for a moment. "I am not very sure about that. In any case, all the medicinal materials available are listed in the ledger."

"Is that so?" Ling Feng felt a slight disappointment in his heart.

If we continue to delay, we might miss the optimal time for treatment, and Luo Jianying might never be able to stand up again.

If we really can't find the Spirit Replenishing Marrow, we'll have to connect his tendons and meridians for him. Being able to stand up and live as an ordinary person is still better than never being able to stand up again.

Suddenly, the chubby disciple seemed to remember something and added, “Oh, that's right. We have a list of rare medicinal ingredients in our medicinal pavilion. Only Elder Yao has access to it, so he might know.”

"Elder Yao?" Ling Feng's eyes lit up. "Could you take me to meet Elder Yao?"

"No need. I'm already here."

An elderly man with gray-white hair walked in. The disciples inside the pavilion immediately bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Elder Yao."

Ling Feng also bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, Elder Yao."

"You’re the disciple of Junior Brother Duanmu, right?"

Ling Feng’s eyelids twitched.

Elder Yao has such a high seniority; he is the senior brother of Duanmu Qingshan!

“Indeed I am.” Ling Feng showed a respectful expression. Since he was Duanmu Qingshan’s senior brother, he would be Ling Feng’s senior uncle.

Elder Yao took a glance at Ling Feng and said with deep thoughts, “Junior Brother Duanmu got himself a good disciple.”

“You’re overpraising me.” Ling Feng’s eyelids twitched. From the eyes of Elder Yao, it seemed like he knew the truth about Duanmu Qingshan killing the previous sect leader.

Elder Yao said calmly, “There’s no need to look at the list of rare ingredients. Our Wenxian Sect has never had even a tiny bit of treasure like the Spirit Replenishing Marrow.”

“So there’s none...” Ling Feng smiled bitterly.

Even with my extraordinary medical skills, I can’t do anything without the medicine.

“But don’t be too disappointed.” Elder Yao smiled. “I can tell you a way to obtain the Spirit Replenishing Marrow.”
