Chapter 90: Purple Spirit Crystal!

"You say you have some knowledge in medicine?" Yuan Qiansheng glanced back at Ling Feng and said in a casual tone, "Alright then, come over."

Yuan Qiansheng then slowly rose and stepped aside.

Alchemy and Daoist medicine are intertwined; pills and medicine are two sides of the same coin. However, as the saying goes, each profession has its own specialization. Ordinary alchemists only needed a rudimentary understanding of medical principles, while Daoists required only a basic grasp of fire control techniques to craft ordinary medicinal pills.

Undoubtedly, the truly elite alchemists were also adept in Daoist medicine, and conversely, the top-tier Daoists were equally skilled in the craft of alchemy.

For instance, Medical Saint Ling Hanyang from the past, who mastered both paths of medicine and alchemy, thus rightfully earning the prestigious title of Medical Saint.

Ling Feng approached Chen Sisi and slowly squatted down, telling her in a gentle tone, "Don't worry, you'll be fine soon."

Chen Sisi kept her head down. She was naturally introverted and wrestled with low self-esteem so she found it hard to meet Ling Feng's eyes.

"Is your self-esteem down in the dumps because you see yourself as lowly?" Ling Feng asked as he quietly grabbed Chen Sisi’s calf.

"I..." Ling Feng's words clearly struck a nerve, and Chen Sisi bit her lip softly as she uttered in a voice as delicate as a whisper, "I'm just a... menial..."

"What's wrong with being a menial? If you continue to believe that you're destined to be nothing more than that for your entire life, then that’s exactly how it’s going to turn out!"

Ling Feng fixed his gaze on Chen Sisi and spoke in a solemn tone. "Look up. You're a kind-hearted girl, much better than many others!"

When Wu Pingzhi was about to strike Ling Feng, instead of quietly fleeing, the slender girl instead chose to grab onto Wu Pingzhi, giving Ling Feng the chance to escape.

Ling Feng's strength was more than enough to overpower Wu Pingzhi, so Chen Sisi’s act of defending him was quite amusing, but there was no way for her to know that.

Her courage and kindness led Ling Feng to believe that he needed to heal not only her physical wounds but also her heart.

Yuan Qiansheng, who was standing beside them, couldn’t help but clench his fist upon hearing Ling Feng’s words. An inexplicable sense of excitement arose in his heart, and he had a strong urge to cheer loudly for Ling Feng.

It's true! So what if she's a menial?

Even a menial can rise to greatness!

"Really?" Chen Sisi finally raised her head, meeting Ling Feng's gaze for a brief moment before trying to avert her eyes, her cheeks burning with shyness.

"Of course," Ling Feng replied with a slightly bitter smile.

Compared to the woman who had betrayed him despite his utmost efforts, including sacrificing his eyes, Chen Sisi was a thousand times, no,

ten thousand

times

better.

Chen Sisi bit her lip and lifted her head once more. "Thank you. Y-You're the first person to ever compliment me."

This time, Ling Feng got a clear look at Chen Sisi's face. He couldn't quite describe her as stunning, but she possessed a certain charm, making her a rather attractive young lady.

"What's your name?" Ling Feng asked calmly.

"I-I'm Chen Sisi...

Ah!

"

She suddenly gasped. Ling Feng had swiftly twisted her leg and reset the fractured bone.

Ling Feng then retrieved a number of golden needles, his movements lightning-fast. He deftly inserted several needles, then exhaled slowly. A smile played on his lips as he addressed Chen Sisi, "Alright, why don't you try standing up and walking?"

Chen Sisi nodded, rising to her feet slowly and carefully. Surprisingly, her injured leg didn't seem to cause her any discomfort as she stepped forward.

Observing this scene, Yuan Qiansheng couldn't help but feel his eyelid twitching uncontrollably. In his understanding, an injury as severe as Chen Sisi's typically required a period of rest after the bone was set. Yet here, after Ling Feng had simply inserted a few needles, everything seemed to be healed!

"Kid, you call this just a bit of medical knowledge?!" Yuan Qiansheng asked exasperatedly.

If this was just a bit of medical knowledge, then an ordinary Daoist couldn't even dare to claim that they'd heard of medicine. And someone like himself, a mere amateur, would probably feel embarrassed to even say they had read medical books!

"The pursuit of knowledge has no limits. Who dares claim true mastery in medical knowledge?" Ling Feng responded modestly, with a smile. He then bowed respectfully to Yuan Qiansheng. "I still have herbs to gather, so I won't delay any longer. Farewell!"

As Ling Feng prepared to leave, Chen Sisi grabbed onto his sleeve. Leaning in close to his ear, she softly said, "Big brother, are you going to participate in the medicinal garden harvest competition? Seventy yards southeast of this herb field, there's an incredibly rare herb."

"

Oh?

" Ling Feng paused, turning to glance at Yuan Qiansheng nearby. Wasn't he one of the overseers of the herb garden?

"I suddenly remember I have something else to attend to!" With Yuan Qiansheng's keen hearing, it was impossible for him not to hear Chen Sisi's voice; it was basically cheating. However, he had no intention of intervening; instead, he promptly made an excuse to leave.

"By the way, kid, what's your name?" Yuan Qiansheng was about to take off, but he glanced back at Ling Feng.

"I'm Ling Feng."

"Ling Feng, huh?

Heh,

I'll remember that!"

𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Yuan Qiansheng nodded, then vanished without a trace.

Ling Feng pursed his lips, turning to glance at Chen Sisi. Due to her proximity, he almost inadvertently brushed her cheek with his lips.

In an instant, Chen Sisi's face flushed red. She hastily pointed towards the southeast, gritting her teeth while saying, "There might be Purple Spirit Crystals over there!"

With that said, she immediately covered her face and dashed away as if fleeing from something.

"Purple Spirit Crystals?" Ling Feng rubbed his nose, feeling a surge of shock within.

If those were indeed Purple Spirit Crystals, then he could get his hands on an unparalleled medicine.Its name didn't suggest a flower or herb, but it was in fact related to a medicinal herb..

The Purple Spirit Crystal was actually a type of crystal that appeared as a result of the mutation of the Purple Insect Fruit. Due to its highly unstable state, this crystal had a very short lifespan. Once formed, it could only exist for a little over a couple of hours before it vaporized, dispersing into the spiritual energy of the heavens and earth and returning to nature.

While the Purple Insect Fruit was a highly rare medicinal herb to begin with, the Purple Spirit Crystal, derived from the mutation of the Purple Insect Fruit, was even more rare. It was impossible to purchase.

"Since Chen Sisi mentioned the possibility of Purple Spirit Crystals being there, she must have seen them in the past hour!"

Upon this realization, Ling Feng's heart was immediately filled with a surge of excitement. It wasn't merely about the medicinal garden competition; treasures like Purple Spirit Crystals were coveted by every Daoist!

This precious medicine could enhance the very essence of the soul!

A Daoist’s ability to perceive the vitality diagram of the human body and manipulate its six qi was closely tied to the sensitivity of their soul. The stronger one's spiritual power, the more pronounced its influence on the achievements of a Daoist.

This was why Ling Feng, upon mastering

The Profound Art of Acupuncture and Moxibustion

, could become a skilled physician, while his grandfather, Ling Kun, who had only studied the first part of the technique, remained average in terms of medical abilities.

"Thank you, Chen Sisi!"

Ling Feng watched Chen Sisi's departing figure with a grateful smile, hoping that the next time he saw her, she would exude cheerfulness and confidence.

With a collected mind and no distractions, Ling Feng then swiftly moved towards the direction Chen Sisi had pointed out.
