Chapter 64: The Storm is Coming

Chapter 64: The Storm is Coming

In the water basin, the Heart Devouring Gu struggled and contorted. After about half an incense stick’s worth of time, this dying Heart Devouring Gu directly transformed into black blood, resembling ink and vanished into nothingness.

Qin Feng, observing this, wore a peculiar expression. The mysterious and unpredictable Heart Devouring Gu, rumored to be fearsome, was actually afraid of spicy things.

“This is interesting. ‘Strange Insects’ didn’t mention this characteristic.”

Upon reflection, it made sense. Heart Devouring Gu were rare, and Vermilion Fruits usually grew in the southern regions of Great Qian. Due to their spiciness, they were not well-received. It was difficult for these two to intersect.

“This is quite a discovery.”

While Qin Feng was pondering with his chin in his hand, the Literature Qi in his sea of consciousness began to surge and flow into the steps of the Heart Questioning Platform continuously.

When the commotion in his sea of consciousness settled, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the Literature Qi had filled half of the third step!

Qin Feng was both excited and astonished. Based on past experiences, applying the knowledge from books to practice would trigger a surge in Literature Qi only once. So why was it different this time?

After a moment of contemplation, he found the answer.

“The first time, I used the methods from the book to cure an illness, accumulating Literature Qi. The second time, I discovered something not mentioned in the book, so I gained additional Literature Qi!”

Upon comparison, it was evident that breaking through existing knowledge and gaining Literature Qi far exceeded the Literature Qi obtained through practical application!

Qin Feng clenched his fist secretly. Although this new method of acquiring Literature Qi couldn’t offer substantial help immediately—surpassing predecessors and pioneering new knowledge was no easy task—it was still good to know about another cultivation method.

“Moreover, with my intelligence, I might be able to further develop and refine this cultivation method.” Qin Feng smirked, shamelessly self-assured.

“Young master, what’s making you so happy?” Lan Ningshuang curiously asked.

“Ah, it’s nothing.” Qin Feng cleared his throat and turned to the other side. “Physician Song, I came here to seek advice. If I were to open a medical clinic, what should I pay attention to?”

“Open a medical clinic?” Physician Song was surprised and asked about the reason behind it.

Naturally, Qin Feng had nothing to hide and explained his thoughts in detail.

“I see.” Physician Song nodded after hearing his explanation and then said, “In your situation, Young Master Qin, you don’t necessarily have to open a medical clinic. What you need is a place to practice medicine, to improve your medical skills and gain more experience.”

Qin Feng contemplated this. It was indeed a feasible option. After all, he also needed to visit Listen To Rain Pavilion to read books and couldn’t stay in the medical clinic all the time. If he could find a place to practice medicine, he could save money and have more flexibility with his time.

“A little insect, dead,” Bai Chong replied indifferently.

“Will it affect our plan? I don’t want Ghost Bodhisattva to criticize us,” the plump figure said.

“It’s a minor issue. There are plenty of Heart Devouring Insects flowing into Qiyuan City anyway.”

Plop, plop.

That was the sound of saliva dripping continuously.

“Bai Chong, let’s make a deal. Since you have so many insects, can I have some? It shouldn’t be a problem, right?” the plump figure said.

“These insects aren’t even worthy of getting stuck in your teeth, and besides, you haven’t eaten your fill yet,” Bai Chong replied, glancing towards the fallen trees behind him.

The mountains and forests were in ruins, bloodstains covered the rocks, and there were countless severed limbs and bones.

Clearly, a bloody massacre had taken place here.

At that moment, a deafening roar echoed from deep within the mountains. A giant white ape suddenly landed not far from the two figures, causing rocks to crumble and the earth to shake.

The giant ape glared at them with its red eyes, exuding a powerful aura that indicated it was at least at the fifth-level of Calamity Power!

Such a terrifying monster would have surely frightened an ordinary person, but—

Bai Chong said calmly, “Is it here to avenge its offspring? Jingyun E, your lunch has arrived.”

The white giant ape pounded its chest with its arms, and the airwaves swept around like a tsunami, making the black robes of the two figures rustle.

It leaped into the air, arms crossed like a battle hammer. Although the attack hadn’t landed yet, the pressure had already crushed the giant tree where the two were standing into splinters!

However, when the white giant ape was less than three yards away from the two figures, a massive mouth appeared out of thin air.

With a cracking sound, the once arrogant giant ape was reduced to half a body, and blood rained down like a storm.

Jingyun E’s stomach rumbled continuously, the sound of gnashing echoed in the air.

“Remember to eat it all,” Bai Chong glanced at the remaining half of the giant ape’s body.

“I never waste food,” Jingyun E said confidently.
