After confirming this matter, Shi Ling stood up from the bed and said to Morning Dew, "It's getting late. I should head back now. Otherwise, Yan Wuping would probably come looking for trouble with me again."

When Chen Lu heard that Shi Ling was about to leave, she frowned and said unhappily, "It's only Yan Wuping, what are you afraid of?" "When the time comes, just say that you're staying with me. Does he dare to have any objections?"

While wearing his own clothes, Shi Ling said, "This has nothing to do with being afraid of him. The main reason is that I'm still a servant, and he's still my superior. If I disappear for a day and a night without a word, then what do I take him for? Although I no longer have any sense of belonging to this sect, I still have to abide by the necessary rules. "

On this matter, she really couldn't say that what Shi Ling said was wrong, because she was an official disciple of the sect. Since she was raised by the sect when she was young, she naturally knew that she couldn't break the sect's rules because of some private matters.

However, when she saw the injured Shi Ling, she felt a pang in her heart. She stood up and helped him put on his clothes before walking out of the cave with her. At the same time, she took out many healing pills from her storage ring and passed them to him, saying, "Take this."

When Shi Ling saw the pills, he wanted to reject them, but Morning Dew did not give him the chance to do so and directly stuffed them into his hands. He said, "The healing pills are not considered little by anyone, not to mention that you have not fully recovered from your injuries.

When he saw the stubborn look on Cheng Lu's face, Shi Ling could only nod his head in agreement before placing her in his arms and walking out of the cave abode. At that moment, Morning Dew was standing in front of the cave abode, quietly watching Shi Ling leave with a lonely expression on her face. When she could no longer see Shi Ling, she turned around and returned to her cave abode.

Currently, Shi Ling was walking on a cobblestone path. It was already midnight. The bright moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the path ahead.

Originally, based on Shi Ling's injuries, he should not be able to get off the bed. If not for the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth that had been poured into him earlier, he would have already collapsed on the ground.

Fortunately, the distance to Shi Ling's residence was not too far. After walking for a quarter of an hour, Shi Ling arrived.

It didn't matter if it was useful or not, everything was stuffed in here. When Shi Ling pushed the door open, the door would still make an ear-piercing noise, but Shi Ling didn't seem to care in the slightest. It was clear that he had heard too much, and after closing the door behind him, he sat down on his own straw bed.

The reason it was called a straw bed was because it was actually made up of two stools and a wooden board. Because there was no quilt on it, in winter, Shi Ling would place some straw on it.

Shi Ling sat on the bed and fell down. If it was anyone else, they would have definitely felt uncomfortable on top of it, because the thatch had barbs on it. Most people wouldn't be able to sleep on it, but Shi Ling seemed very calm.

Not only was the room shabby, but roaches and rats could also be seen crawling all over the place from time to time. It was like the difference between the heaven and earth, when compared to the Blessed Paradises where Shi Ling slept in the morning.

At the beginning, Shi Ling didn't actually need to live in a junk room, and could live in a dormitory with other servants. But after the dormitory staff was full, Yan Wuping told Shi Ling to go to the junk room first and wait for an empty seat before calling him back. However, ever since Shi Ling moved to this place, no one had called him back.

When he thought of this, Shi Ling could not help but laugh bitterly. He felt that this place was pretty good. At the very least, he lived here by himself, so compared to the dormitory, Shi Ling still felt that this place was better.

He turned around and thought back to what had happened today. First, he was bullied by a bunch of people, and then he went back on his words. Even Yan Wuping dared to ignore him, and then he was saved by Morning Dew and forced into marriage by her.

Thinking about forcing a marriage, Shi Ling couldn't help but find it funny. If he told someone outside about this, they would probably laugh themselves to death. How could a proud daughter of heaven from the Spirit Sword Sect force a marriage with a servant?

Although Shi Ling felt that it was impossible, it had really happened. Not long ago, not only was the other party a proud daughter of heaven, but she was also his ex-girlfriend. He had been forced to marry by his ex-girlfriend.

Then, he lifted up his right hand and slowly clenched it, recalling the argument he had with Fatty Xu. Back then, he had sent Fatty Xu flying with one hand, because Fatty Xu had already reached the Second Stage of Body Refinement. Even if Fatty Xu was weak, he shouldn't have been stepped on so easily.

Suddenly, he sat up on the bed. At that moment, he recalled the scene before he sent Fatty Xu flying. At that time, it was as if his fist had been wrapped by an invisible flame, and it was also because of that flame that caused his strength to soar.

So the question is, where does the fire come from? This question flashed across Shi Ling's mind as he stared blankly at his right hand.

Shi Ling frowned deeply. He closed his eyes and sat cross-legged with his legs crossed. A seal was formed in his hand. At this moment, he was examining the situation in his right hand.

In the past, he would have liked to use the external spiritual energy to examine his own body. Not only would he be able to examine his own body more clearly, it would not have caused any harm to his own body. However, now that his power was gone, he did not know if this method would work.

As the seals in Shi Ling's hands started to change, a dense mist started to appear around him. As the mist lingered around him, it was unable to enter into Shi Ling's body. It was as if the air outside could not enter into a sealed space.

Currently, this was the state that Shi Ling was in. Due to the destruction of his Spirit Vein, he was unable to absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth from the outside world into his body, causing him to be unable to cultivate.

In the end, he helplessly sighed and gave up. When he opened his eyes, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, all these years, he had already tried to do this kind of thing more than once, but the results were all the same, he could not inject the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth from the outside world into his body.

All of a sudden, he felt as if his chest was stuffed, causing him to cough uncontrollably. Immediately, he coughed several times as his right hand covered his mouth.

Only after coughing for a long time did Shi Ling heave a sigh of relief. When he looked at his own hand, he found that there was actually a lot of blood on it that had been coughed out by him.

However, because of this, a look of shock appeared on Shi Ling's face. It was not because Shi Ling coughed up a lot of blood, but because there were currently white lights gathering on his right index finger. The blood on his finger was also gathering towards his index finger at a slow speed.

Shi Ling's eyes grew wider and wider, and even his mouth started to open slightly as he looked on in disbelief.

As the fresh blood was continuously absorbed by his index finger, the specks of white light gradually fused together and formed a white ribbon. That white ribbon was like a small white snake as it twined around Shi Ling's index finger.

Looking at the item that suddenly appeared on his finger, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. Being caught off guard, he gently stroked it with his other hand, attempting to remove it. When he tried to take a look at what it was, he discovered that it was impossible to remove, as if it had grown on his finger.

Before he knew exactly what it was, he really did not dare to keep it in his hands. Who knew what else would happen? Immediately, the strength in Shi Ling's hands gradually increased.

However, at the same time, a weak white flame suddenly shot out from the ring. After it came into contact with Shi Ling's finger, it instantly ignited and enveloped his entire body.

Shi Ling was dumbstruck. After feeling the burning sensation on his body, he fell off his bed and rolled on the ground, trying to suppress the fire on his body.

However, no matter how much Shi Ling rolled, he was unable to extinguish the flame. What was even more surprising was that the flame was only aimed at Shi Ling's body, and did not affect his clothes or anything else in the slightest.

He wanted to crawl out of the door to see if anyone could save him, but that flame seemed to be going against him on purpose. The more he crawled out of the door, the more the flames seemed to burn brighter.

"Help, help!"

He prayed that someone outside would be able to hear his cry for help when he passed by. However, he clearly understood that his room was in the furthest corner of the service department. Normally, no one would come here, especially in the middle of the night.

Seeing that no one came to save him, despair appeared in Shi Ling's eyes. He let out a low growl, and his extended hand quietly fell to the ground. As a result, he fainted.

However, after Shi Ling fainted, the flames started to throb again, and soon after, the healing pills and ointment that were given to him earlier by Morning Dew started to merge with his body under the heat of the flames.

As the medicinal effects of the ointment gradually began to take effect, the injuries on Shi Ling's body started to heal at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye. At the same time, Shi Ling's muscles also began to change.
