Two days later.

Inside Chu Feng's bedroom in the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion.

Chu Feng's eyelids twitched, and he slowly opened his heavy eyes.

What came into view was Xiao Nihuang's beautiful face, which was filled with weariness and worry.

"You're finally awake!"

Upon seeing Chu Feng awaken, Xiao Nihuang burst into tears of joy and tightly grasped his hand.

"How long... have I been asleep?" Chu Feng's voice was a little hoarse.

"Two whole days and two nights." Xiao Nihuang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, her voice still trembling with fear, "You almost scared me to death."

squeak-

The door was pushed open, and Chu Tianyuan strode in. Seeing his grandson awake, a relieved expression appeared on his usually dignified face.

"Grandpa." Chu Feng struggled to get up.

"Lie still!" Chu Tianyuan pressed him down and said in a deep voice, "Your spiritual energy was exhausted this time, and your meridians were damaged. You need to rest and recuperate properly."

Chu Feng remained silent for a moment, the image of his sister lying in a pool of blood flashing through his mind, and his heart clenched.

"Sister!" he asked anxiously, "How is sister?!"

The atmosphere in the room froze instantly upon hearing this.

The joy on Chu Tianyuan's face slowly faded, replaced by an undisguised deep sorrow.

Xiao Nihuang also turned her head away, her eyes reddening.

Chu Feng's heart skipped a beat and sank to the bottom.

An ominous premonition instantly enveloped him.

"Sister... what happened to her?!" His voice trembled.

Chu Tianyuan remained silent for a long time before sighing and saying in a hoarse voice, "Come with me."

Ignoring Xiao Nihuang's objections, Chu Feng forced himself out of bed despite his weakened state and followed Chu Tianyuan to the next room.

The room was packed with people.

The Heavenly Sword Mountain Patriarch, the Heavenly Sword Mountain Sect Leader, and Abbess Jingxuan, among others, all stood solemnly around the bed.

On the bed, Chu Qingge lay quietly, her face as pale as paper, without a trace of blood. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of her chest, she would have been almost indistinguishable from a dead person.

"elder sister!"

Chu Feng rushed over like a madman, knelt down by the bed, and gently took Chu Qingge's cold hand.

"Sister, wake up! Look at me!"

His voice choked with emotion, and his eyes were filled with endless guilt and heartache.

If it weren't for protecting him, how could my sister have turned out like this?

The sect leader of Tianjian Mountain sighed as he watched this scene unfold, then stepped forward and patted Chu Feng on the shoulder.

"Your Highness, please accept my condolences."

His voice was filled with sorrow and helplessness.

"Qingge... her internal organs are all shattered, her heart meridians are broken, and her life force has been cut off. We... we've tried everything, but we can only barely keep her alive."

"She...I'm afraid she won't make it through tomorrow."

boom!!!

The sect leader's words were like a thunderclap from the heavens, exploding in Chu Feng's mind!

I won't make it through tomorrow...

These five words were like five of the sharpest knives, piercing his heart.

"No...impossible!" Chu Feng's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he was going mad. "There must be a way! There must be!"

The old patriarch of Tianjian Mountain, standing to the side, was overcome with grief, tears streaming down his face. He looked up to the sky and cried out, "Heaven is going to destroy my Tianjian lineage! Heaven is going to destroy my Tianjian lineage!"

A naturally formed sword physique is a once-in-a-millennium talent.

He was the hope for the rise of the Heavenly Sword lineage, but now he is about to perish.

Chu Feng's heart sank completely into an endless abyss.

Boundless despair and self-blame overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.

He hates!

I hate myself for being so weak!

I hate myself for not being able to protect even my closest loved ones!

Just as his mind was about to collapse.

An ancient and desolate voice suddenly resounded from the depths of his mind.

"This little girl... might not be beyond saving."

Chu Feng was suddenly taken aback.

"Who? Who's speaking?"

"Little brother, let them all go out first," the enchantress's voice rang out at the right moment.

Chu Feng took a deep breath, slowly stood up, turned to look at Chu Tianyuan and the people from Tianjian Mountain, his voice hoarse but undeniable.

"Grandpa, seniors, I'd like to... keep my sister company by myself."

Seeing his distraught appearance, everyone assumed he wanted to spend his last moments alone with his sister, so they all sighed, nodded, and silently left the room.

After the door closed, only Chu Feng and Chu Qingge, who was lying on the bed, remained in the room.

Om-!

The Burial Coffin automatically emerged from Chu Feng's body and hovered in mid-air.

The coffin lid slid open, and two illusory figures slowly floated out.

One of them, of course, is the enchantress.

The other figure was an ethereal old man dressed in hemp clothing, with white hair and beard, an ancient face, and eyes as deep as the starry sky.

"Little brother, let me introduce you." The enchantress pointed at the old man, smiling charmingly, "This is Yun Qingzi, the renowned Medicine King from ancient times. His medical skills and alchemy are among the best in all the realms."

"The Medicine King?" Chu Feng looked at the old man in front of him as if he had grasped the last straw. He knelt down without hesitation, his voice earnest.

"I beg Senior Yun Qingzi to save my sister!"

Yun Qingzi stroked his beard, his gaze falling on Chu Qingge on the bed. He glanced at her briefly and then nodded slightly.

"A naturally gifted swordsman with a rare talent, it's a real pity he died like this."

He extended his illusory finger, pointed it in the air, and a soft blue light entered Chu Qingge's brow.

After a moment, he withdrew his finger and slowly spoke.

"Her life force had been exhausted, but I used my unique secret technique to temporarily protect her heart and soul. Her life has been saved for now."

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng was overjoyed: "Thank you, Senior!"

"Don't thank me yet." Yun Qingzi waved his hand, his expression becoming serious. "This is just a temporary measure. To help her fully recover, we need to refine a top-grade pill—the 'Nine Revolutions Nirvana Pill'."

"The Nine-Turn Nirvana Pill?" Chu Feng asked hurriedly. "What medicinal ingredients are needed? I will find them no matter where I am—heaven or earth!"

Yun Qingzi flicked her finger, and a beam of azure light entered Chu Feng's brow.

An incredibly complex prescription instantly appeared in his mind.

"Young man, every single one of these medicinal herbs is extremely rare. In this barren land where you are now, gathering them all would be as difficult as ascending to heaven."

"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will do my best!" Chu Feng firmly memorized the pill formula, his eyes filled with determination.

At this moment, the enchantress beside her covered her mouth and chuckled, "Old man Yun, if it weren't for my little brother risking his life this time to activate the Burial Coffin and devour that guy, who knows how long your remnant soul would have remained asleep. Shouldn't you thank him properly?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingzi puffed out his beard and glared, saying, "You vixen, you've tried to scheme against me, haven't you!"

Although he said that, he still looked at Chu Feng with a hint of approval in his eyes.

"Very well, since you're not too bad looking, I'll grant you another stroke of good fortune."

He flicked his finger again, and an even larger torrent of information flooded into Chu Feng's mind.

That was his lifelong understanding and inheritance of the art of medicine and alchemy!

The Medicine Emperor's Scripture!

After doing all this, Yun Qingzi and Yao Ji returned to the Burial Coffin.

As Chu Feng digested the vast amount of knowledge in his mind, the flame of hope rekindled in his eyes.

He suddenly pushed open the door and went out.

Outside the door, Chu Tianyuan and the others immediately surrounded them.

"Xiao Feng, don't be too sad!" Chu Tianyuan comforted him.

"Grandpa, seniors, don't worry."

"My sister... is alright now."

Chu Feng said directly.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked on incredulously.

"However, to fully awaken my sister, we still need to find some medicinal herbs and refine them into pills."

Upon hearing this, Chu Tianyuan and the others were both surprised and delighted.

Chu Feng didn't explain much, but instead wrote down the prescription and ordered everyone to mobilize all available resources to find the medicinal ingredients listed.

Rumble!!!

Just then, an endless roar suddenly came from above the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, and a terrifying aura descended suddenly, like dark clouds pressing down on the city!
