Chapter 516 The Wind Rises

"Godfather, what is this?"

Not only Zhao Feng, but even Li Xuan was curious about what was in the wooden box in Manager Shang's hand.

"Feng'er, you'll know if you open it and take a look."

Manager Shang said with a smile, and it was obvious that he was in a very good mood at the moment.

Zhao Feng was not polite and reached out to open the wooden box.

But as soon as he opened the wooden box a little, he felt gusts of strong wind coming out from inside.

Zhao Feng's hand immediately stopped where it was, not daring to open the wooden box any further.

Seeing the shocked expression on Zhao Feng's face, Li Xuan became very curious. He wondered what was in the wooden box that could surprise him so much.

But Zhao Feng's hand just stopped there, and after opening the wooden box a little, he didn't move anymore.

Li Xuan could feel that the wooden box was emitting an extremely pure wind-attribute aura.

"It seems to be some kind of natural treasure."

Li Xuan tilted his head, trying to see what was in the wooden box through the gap.

But the next moment, Zhao Feng closed the wooden box again with a click.

"Wind Resting Stone!?"

After closing the wooden box, Zhao Feng stared at Manager Shang and muttered to himself in doubt and surprise.

Manager Shang said nothing, but just looked at his adopted son with a smile, then nodded slightly.

After getting confirmation from Chief Steward Shang, Li Xuan noticed that Zhao Feng's breathing had involuntarily become much heavier.

"Godfather, where did you get this?"

"His Majesty found it for you!"

Manager Shang gave the answer directly.

"I reported this to His Majesty the day Xuan treated your injury."

"Your Majesty has sent people to keep an eye on this thing since then."

"You know the value of this thing. Even His Majesty cannot get it."

"Come to think of it, it's all thanks to Xuan!"

As Manager Shang said this, he looked at Li Xuan with a smile.

Li Xuan immediately tilted his head in confusion, wondering how this matter had anything to do with him.

"If Ah Xuan hadn't helped His Majesty earn so much money, this Wind Restoration Stone that appeared on the market probably wouldn't have fallen into our hands."

“Bought it!?”

Li Xuan was also stunned by what Manager Shang said.

Judging from Zhao Feng’s reaction, this thing seems to be very important to him.

Zhao Feng is at least a fourth-rank master, so something that he cares so much about must be a rare treasure.

I didn't expect that I could buy it with money.

"How much does this cost?"

Contrary to Li Xuan's expectations, Zhao Feng's reaction was somewhat panic-stricken.

This was the first time in such a long time that Li Xuan saw him so genuinely frightened.

As for Zhao Feng's pretentious appearance in front of Emperor Yongyuan, he had seen it many times.

"Three million taels of silver."

Zhao Feng remained silent, while Li Xuan let out an undisguised “Meow?”

Even though Li Xuan had helped Emperor Yongyuan make a lot of money before, he only realized how expensive food and daily necessities were after he became the head of the household.

Three million taels of silver could cover most of half a year's tax revenue when the Daxing treasury had low income.

"Why the hell is this rock so expensive?"

If we could get two of these, it would be enough to cover Daxing's entire year's tax revenue.

Moreover, this time it was only possible because Emperor Yongyuan had money to get it. If he hadn't had money, wouldn't it have been bought by someone else?

Is it true that Daxing is a poor country but rich people?
It turns out that Daxing’s money can be seen everywhere except in the national treasury.

Seeing Li Xuan asking about the origin of the Wind Restoration Stone with a money-grubbing look on his face, Shang Zongguan explained with a smile:
"Ah Xuan, this is the most top-notch natural treasure, it's hard to come by."

"Its effect is also very simple. It can help people gain enlightenment and gain the opportunity to break through to the upper third level."

Hearing this, Li Xuan's pair of big, Caroline-like eyes suddenly flashed with a faint green light.

Manager Shang was so frightened that he pulled his hand back and hid the wooden box behind him.

"Ah Xuan, you can't use this thing right now, and its properties don't match you."

"We'll find it for you when you need it later."

"OK?"

Manager Shang was really afraid that Li Xuan would just open his mouth wide and swallow the wooden box into his stomach.

I didn't notice it before, but ever since Li Xuan came into contact with money, he has become as money-grubber as he can be.

Right now, this Wind-Breathing Stone is not only expensive, but can also aid in cultivation. Which warrior would not be tempted?
Especially since Li Xuan was a man of destiny, after he perfected the Yin-Yang True Extreme Technique, he coveted these natural treasures the most.

After all, these things can actually be transformed into yin and yang qi in his body.

After all, Li Xuan was not defeated by the momentary desire. The green light in his eyes soon went out, and he returned to his usual clarity.

Seeing that Li Xuan's eyes finally looked like a cat instead of a wolf, Manager Shang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They were very clear about Li Xuan's understanding.

But they were afraid that their kids would want it too, and they couldn’t get another Wind-Calming Stone.

Isn't it more uncomfortable to see the furry child looking at you with helpless eyes, not crying or shouting, but just silently enduring the grievance?
"Ah Xuan, this Wind Restoration Stone is also for the purpose of completely healing Feng'er's old injuries."

"The meridians that have just recovered may not be able to withstand the impact of the true energy running through the whole body, but with this stone, it can attract the true energy in Feng'er's body to concentrate on enlightenment, reducing the impact on the meridians."

After Manager Shang's explanation, Li Xuan finally understood why he had asked Zhao Feng if he was ready.

"Feng'er, let me ask you again."

"are you ready?"

Manager Shang once again asked Zhao Feng seriously.

"This……"

Zhao Feng, who had just been anxious to heal his injuries, now couldn't help but hesitate, and his hands trembled slightly.

After all, it is not just a matter of healing the injuries now. Manager Shang also brought a piece of Wind-Calming Stone.

He knows his own situation best.

Zhao Feng has been trapped at the fourth level for many years. If his old injuries heal and he has the help of the Wind-Resting Stone, perhaps it won't be a problem for him to reach the third level directly.

Zhao Feng became excited and nervous at the same time when he thought that the realm that was previously unattainable was now so close to him.

But if it fails, this Wind-Calming Stone worth three million taels will probably be wasted.

The huge amount of silver is secondary. How could he let down the expectations of His Majesty and his godfather?

"Godfather, can I really do this?"

"Feng'er, we are warriors, and we can only ask ourselves these kinds of questions!"

Manager Shang stared at Zhao Feng and spoke seriously.

"Yep……"

"Godfather is right."

Even Li Xuan could see that Zhao Feng was a little confused.

He silently jumped off Zhao Feng's shoulder, and together with the chief monk, waited quietly for Zhao Feng to make his own decision.

What Manager Shang said is correct.

The practice of martial artists is to fight against heaven and earth. If there is still confusion in one's heart, there is no need to talk about other things.

The first person a warrior must defeat is not others, but himself.

Often during the process of cultivation, the most powerful enemy is oneself.

At this moment, even Zhao Feng, who had the cultivation level of the fourth rank and had served as the chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for many years, hesitated in front of him.

"Godfather, let me take a moment to calm down."

As Zhao Feng said this, his eyes became firm.

"it is good!"

Manager Shang smiled and nodded, knowing that Zhao Feng had made up his mind.

Zhao Feng sat cross-legged and adjusted himself to the best state. "Ah Xuan, I will trouble you again later." Shang Zongguan said to Li Xuan.

"Is this all right? Do you want to prepare more?"

Li Xuan asked with some concern.

"No need, this is the best arrangement."

"Ah Xuan, go ask Doctor Xue to come over as well. We'll feel more at ease with him around."

Li Xuan thought about it and realized that this was the truth. He quickly went to the lotus pond and called Doctor Xue over.

Doctor Xue was originally annoyed that Li Xuan had interrupted his research, but when he heard that there was a Wind-Chilling Stone to be seen, he immediately put the notebook away.

Doctor Xue had only heard of treasures like the Wind-Calming Stone and had never seen it with his own eyes.

With such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he certainly wouldn't miss it.

When Li Xuan returned with Doctor Xue, they found that there was one more person here, and it was Old Ye.

Manager Shang respectfully asked Mr. Ye for a few words, and Mr. Ye just nodded slightly.

When Zhao Feng was treated for his injuries this time, Chief Steward Shang gave him a grand ceremony.

Not only were Elder Ye and Imperial Physician Xue in charge, but they also invited this little cat, the Chosen One. It was truly a grand occasion.

Li Xuan chuckled foolishly.

At this time, Zhao Feng also opened his eyes again, and there was a restrained light in his eyes. He had adjusted his state to the best level.

Zhao Feng didn't say anything, but just nodded heavily at Manager Shang.

"Feng'er."

Manager Shang pressed Zhao Feng's shoulder hard, then handed the wooden box to him.

"After Xuan has repaired your meridians, you can find the right time to open the wooden box and start to gain enlightenment directly."

At this point, Shang was silent for a moment, and finally said softly to Zhao Feng:
“Be careful.”

The atmosphere gradually became serious.

Manager Shang did not say what would happen if he failed, but it would probably be an unbearable price to pay.

Li Xuan also slowly adjusted his breathing and calmed his mind.

When all preparations were completed, Li Xuan came to Zhao Feng, stood up, and placed a claw on the fire scar on his chest.

At this time, Zhao Feng opened his collar, revealing his muscular upper body.

Li Xuan immediately mobilized the Yin and Yang Qi and gave Zhao Feng the crucial last treatment.

Under the scar of fire, the meridians that had been cut off from vitality were slowly recovering with the nourishment of the yin and yang true energy.

Li Xuan and Zhao Feng maintained a tacit understanding and began to advance step by step.

Li Xuan slowed down the pace of his treatment so that Zhao Feng could slowly introduce his true Qi as soon as his meridians recovered, giving him enough time to adapt.

I am afraid that hidden dangers may arise in my haste.

As time passed, the scar on Zhao Feng's chest gradually faded and became smaller.

As the meridians under the scar continued to recover and true Qi flowed into them, the treatment reached a critical moment.

The meridian that had been cut off was only the size of a copper coin left. As long as this place was connected again, all the meridians in Zhao Feng's body would be connected again.

Li Xuan couldn't help but become nervous, and silently sent a signal with the Yin-Yang Qi, asking Zhao Feng to get ready for the final sprint.

The next moment, Li Xuan's Yin and Yang Qi wrapped around it, and the dry meridians immediately regained their vitality like spring grass.

The true energy in Zhao Feng's body also began to circulate throughout his body through the connected meridians.

boom!
The silent energy was shaken.

The people standing next to Zhao Feng all felt this change clearly.

After the treatment was completed, Li Xuan did not move his claws away, but maintained the original movement to maintain the circulation of Yin and Yang Qi.

If there is any change in Zhao Feng's meridians, he can also provide timely treatment.

As expected, the meridians that had just been repaired began to show signs of tearing under the impact of the powerful true qi, and the symptoms became increasingly severe.

The meridians in other parts of Zhao Feng's body have been continuously washed by true qi over the years, becoming stronger and stronger.

A normal fourth-grade warrior should be like this, with strong meridians so that he can use the powerful true qi in his body as he wishes.

But the meridians that had just been repaired obviously had not received such exercise.

The moment Li Xuan discovered that something was wrong, he immediately began to repair Zhao Feng.

But the true energy in Zhao Feng's body was so powerful that even Li Xuan's healing ability could hardly repair it.

"Feng'er, it's now!"

Butler Shang, who was guarding nearby, immediately spoke up to remind him.

Zhao Feng also immediately opened the wooden box, revealing the true appearance of the Wind-Chilling Stone inside.

Li Xuan took some time out of his busy schedule to look down and found that the Wind Resting Stone was actually not very good-looking.

This is a dark green stone with honeycomb-like holes all over its surface. It looks rotten and will break if touched.

But even in such an unremarkable stone, there was a violent gust of wind that kept gushing out, passing through the tiny holes and instantly turning into a powerful wind blade filled with murderous intent.

"WTF!"

Li Xuan was closest to the wooden box in Zhao Feng's hand and was the first to be hit. He was about to be hit by a roaring wind blade.

But before Li Xuan could react, the wind blade was swallowed up in mid-air, leaving only a little black light that dimmed quietly.

"Ah Xuan, focus on treating him."

"I'm here, don't worry."

The old voice of Mr. Ye sounded, making people feel particularly at ease.

The wind blades that attacked Li Xuan, Chief Steward Shang and Imperial Physician Xue were all swallowed up silently by Old Ye's shadow.

But Old Ye ignored the wind blades that hit Zhao Feng.

But Li Xuan discovered that the wind blade hit Zhao Feng's body, causing his protective Qi to shake, and the Qi in his body was also consumed a little.

In this way, the pressure of the true qi running through the body on the meridians was indeed reduced, which was consistent with what Manager Shang had said before.

But the Wind-Breaking Stone was getting more and more powerful, spitting out more and more wind blades, which were getting stronger and stronger. It even began to make sharp whistling sounds, like the roar of an evil spirit, making the air a little colder.

"What a rare treasure this is! It's definitely a powerful weapon!"

"If this is thrown into a crowd of people..."

Li Xuan gulped and swallowed nervously, not daring to imagine the bloody scene.

Gradually, Zhao Feng's protective Qi was no longer able to protect himself. His clothes began to be torn by the wind blades, and soon only tattered strips of cloth were left on his body.

Zhao Feng began to use his body to resist the wind blades, and blood spurted out.

But even so, Mr. Ye didn't care at all about the wind blades rushing towards Zhao Feng.

Li Xuan didn't know the reason, so he had to continue to provide treatment to Zhao Feng so that he could last longer.

Manager Shang looked at Zhao Feng nervously, and when he saw blood slowly oozing from the corners of his mouth, he unconsciously clenched his fists.

"Feng'er, you must hold on!"

Manager Shang silently cheered for his adopted son.

The Wind-Breaking Stone seemed to have its own spirit, slowly aiming all of its wind blades at Zhao Feng.

Zhao Fengben was holding the wooden box containing the wind blade and was the closest to it.

This wooden box is obviously not an ordinary item and can suppress the Wind-Calming Stone.

But as Zhao Feng opened the wooden box, the Wind-Chilling Stone became more and more violent, and the wooden box slowly broke into pieces. Finally, it turned into flying wood chips in the sweeping wind blade and disappeared completely.

The Wind-Chilling Stone that Zhao Feng was holding in his palm floated into the air on its own and hovered over Zhao Feng's chest and abdomen, pouring all the violent wind blades onto Zhao Feng's body, like a storm sweeping across.

Li Xuan was also very close, but the wind blade no longer attacked him.

He took a moment to look down at this strange scene and felt it was amazing.

That small piece of Wind-Calming Stone seemed to contain the most violent side of the wind, making people feel terrified just by hearing the howling wind.

"Is this the price for promotion to the upper third rank?"

"With this attitude, there's no point in realizing anything!"

"Everyone is going to die, okay?"

Li Xuan put himself in Zhao Feng's shoes and thought about it. If he were in Zhao Feng's position, even if he had Yin-Yang Qi, he would probably have collapsed long ago.

By this time, Zhao Feng had already turned into a bloody man, with cuts of varying sizes all over his body.

And the wind was still howling, even getting stronger.
