Goddess Painting

After another period of cultivation.

As the fire poison was expelled, Li Wanqing's expression gradually became peaceful, and the terrifying high temperature also subsided...

……

After it ended.

Qin Feng returned to the real world.

boom!

A loud bang resounded inside my body, as if some kind of shackle had been broken!

Nine layers of casting!

And it's at its peak!

The second realm, the Realm of Rebirth, is just a thin veil away!

The fire-elemental power that had been absorbed from Li Wanqing was only one-third of what it had been converted by the colorless energy cloud.

At this moment, the two major cultivation techniques within his body were naturally operating, continuously converting this terrifying power into his own spiritual energy.

It probably won't be long before he reaches the second stage of cultivation—the Rebirth Realm!

We're getting closer and closer to the third realm, the Divine Power Realm!

Qin Feng looked inward at himself, gazing at his dazzling dual-elemental sacred spiritual roots—water and fire perfectly blended, endlessly regenerating.

His mouth stretched from ear to ear, revealing a satisfied smile.

"Cool!"

"This is the right way to do it!"

"Next, it's time to go to the Li family to settle things and collect my payment."

Inside the embroidered tower of the Li residence.

The deathly silence was broken by a faint groan.

"Water... I'm thirsty..."

Li Wanqing slowly opened her eyes, her voice so weak it sounded like a mosquito's hum, but to the Li family at that moment, it was like heavenly music!

"She's awake! The young lady is awake!!"

Overjoyed, the maidservant hurriedly brought warm water and carefully fed it to her.

Bai Ziyu, who had been standing guard beside him, froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

"What?! How is this possible?!"

"She's really alive?!"

His eyes widened as he stared intently at Li Wanqing, who had regained consciousness, his head buzzing.

That charlatan... that Feng Qin who pulled out a rotten pill... actually saved someone's life?!

Could it be... that he really is the legendary reclusive master?!

Li Qingtian led a group of core members of the Li family into the boudoir. When he saw his daughter's eyes, which, though tired, had regained their sparkle, the tough head of the family's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

"Qing'er! How are you feeling?"

Li Wanqing drank some water; although she was still somewhat weak, she was now conscious.

"Father... I feel... so much lighter... that fire that was burning me... is gone..."

It's really healed!

Bai Ziyu stood aside, watching this scene, feeling a burning pain in his cheeks, as if he had been slapped hundreds of times from both sides.

He is not willing!

He is the successor of the White Bone Healer!

How could we possibly lose to an unknown rogue cultivator?!

"Master Li..."

Bai Ziyu forced himself to step forward, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace:

"I see that although your daughter has woken up, she is still very weak. Perhaps I could... administer acupuncture to help her recover?"

This is an attempt to make amends and save face.

However, Li Qingtian didn't even turn his head; he simply waved his hand coldly.

"No need."

"With Master Feng's miraculous medicine at hand, there's no need for Young Master Bai to trouble himself."

Although the tone was polite, even a fool could hear the distance and indifference in it.

Bai Ziyu's face stiffened, and his outstretched hand hung awkwardly in mid-air, unsure whether to retract it or not.

After confirming that his daughter was safe and sound, Li Qingtian led everyone out of the boudoir.

As soon as he stepped outside, the loving expression on his face vanished, replaced by an overwhelming excitement and ecstasy!

"quick!!"

He grabbed the butler by the shoulder and shouted:

"Quickly redecorate the mansion gate! Make it the most grand and solemn occasion!"

"Bring me my communication jade token! I want to personally thank Master Feng and invite him back to his residence!"

With trembling hands, Li Qingtian took the jade token, took a deep breath, and spoke in an extremely humble tone:

"Master Feng! You are truly a divine being! My daughter has awakened! You..."

"beep--"

Before I could finish speaking, the other end of the line had already hung up decisively.

Li Qingtian was stunned for a moment. Instead of being angry, he felt even more awe.

That's what you call the demeanor of a master!

He accomplished his task and left without a trace, concealing his merit and fame!

"Quickly! The whole family, young and old, come with me to the door to greet him! If you neglect Master Feng, you'll be punished according to family rules!"

……

After an incense stick has burned.

Outside the main gate of the Li residence.

Qin Feng, wrapped in an inconspicuous black robe, slowly walked over.

Before they even got close, they saw the Li family's gate wide open, a red carpet laid out, and Li Qingtian standing at the entrance with hundreds of people. The scene was even more grand than welcoming the sect leader!

Upon seeing Qin Feng, Li Qingtian rushed down the steps in three strides and immediately gave a deep ninety-degree bow:

"The master is truly a divine being!"

"My daughter has awakened! This life-saving grace is like a second birth! Our entire Li family will never forget it!"

"We humbly request that you, Master, be granted an audience with the highest honors and receive a bow from the Li family!"

Qin Feng was secretly delighted, but on the surface he maintained a calm and composed demeanor.

"It was just a small favor, nothing to mention."

"Since Patriarch Li has extended such a warm invitation, then this old man may have a cup of tea."

The group of people escorted Qin Feng into the main hall like stars surrounding the moon.

Qin Feng sat down in the main seat with an air of authority.

Meanwhile, Bai Ziyu, huddled in the corner, wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

His worldview has collapsed.

That Feng Qin... his pulse-taking technique and that pill—he looks like a con artist no matter how you look at it!

But somehow, they managed to save the person's life!

Listening to the accolades bestowed upon Qin Feng, Bai Ziyu felt as if each word was a knife stabbing into his heart.

Qin Feng's nonchalant attitude made him feel like a clown.

After some pleasantries...

Li Qingtian clapped his hands.

The butler immediately stepped forward with a tray on which were two exquisite storage bags.

"Master, this is just a small token of my respect."

"I urge Master Feng not to refuse!"

Qin Feng didn't stand on ceremony and swept his spiritual energy around.

hiss--!

The first bag contained a bottle of crystal-clear Golden Marrow Pills, exuding a rich, fragrant aroma!

Ten whole grains!

The medicine is effective enough to last him for several days!

In the second bag, a thousand glittering mid-grade spirit stones were neatly stacked!

This is a huge sum of money!

Qin Feng was overjoyed, but on the surface he only glanced at it indifferently and casually put it into his pocket:

"It's my duty."

Seeing Qin Feng accept the reward, Li Qingtian breathed a sigh of relief, then his expression became serious as he took out a purple-gold token from his pocket:

"Master Feng, I have another request."

"Master Feng's medical skills are astonishing! I wish to hire him as a guest elder of my Li family!"

"This is an elder's token."

"With this decree, all properties owned by my Li family in all cities and markets under the jurisdiction of the Qingyun Sect shall enjoy the highest preferential treatment! And we may also draw upon certain resources at any time!"

Guest Elder!

This is a privilege that only experts at the Meridian Opening Realm can enjoy!

Not only is their status prestigious, but with this token, even if they travel outside the Qingyun Sect, they will have the powerful Li family as their backing!

Qin Feng was genuinely pleasantly surprised.

This Li Qingtian is indeed a shrewd businessman; he's trying to completely tie himself to the Li family's chariot!

However, this suited him perfectly.

Qin Feng nodded slightly, accepted the token, and casually put it into his pocket.

"Patriarch Li is very kind."

"Since you are so kind to me, please feel free to come to me if you have any questions or problems in the future."

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"

Li Qingtian was overjoyed.

Then, his tone shifted abruptly, his gaze instantly sharpening as he stared directly at Bai Ziyu in the corner:

"If it weren't for Master Feng's miraculous intervention, my daughter would likely have suffered at the hands of some quack doctors!"

That one glance was filled with murderous intent!

Bai Ziyu trembled, his handsome face turning a deep purplish-red, yet he still stubbornly retorted:

"Patriarch Li! What do you mean by this?!"

"My lineage of the White Bone Immortal Physician has been passed down for a thousand years! I, Bai Ziyu, have diligently cultivated the art of medicine for twenty years! How could I be inferior to a... a mere wandering sorcerer?!"

"Oh!"

Li Qingtian sneered and gave a signal with his eyes.

The butler carried a tray and walked up to Bai Ziyu.

Ten low-grade spirit stones were placed there all by themselves.

It's not very harmful, but extremely insulting!

"This is for your travel expenses."

Li Qingtian's tone was icy:

"Others only give five, but I'll give you double out of respect for the White Bone Healer!"

"you--!!"

Bai Ziyu was trembling with anger, pointing at Li Qingtian's nose, his finger shaking:

"Li Qingtian! How dare you humiliate me?!"

"I am a direct disciple of the Immortal Healer! You think you can fob me off with ten low-grade spirit stones?!"
