#101 - Chapter 101: The Secret Code of the Lingfang Dao

After Cheng Feng and Wang Hu, along with the other two, joined forces to kill the exceptionally ferocious Red-Scaled Serpent, they all appeared somewhat exhausted. Especially Wang Hu and the other two, whose injuries were quite severe and in need of immediate treatment.

Cheng Feng, having cultivated to the Blood Refining Realm, possessed stronger personal strength, so his condition was relatively better. However, he didn't dare to be careless, as this place was still full of unknown dangers. Faced with this situation, Cheng Feng decisively decided to have Babai lead the severely injured Wang Hu and the others away from this place first, to find a safe location to receive medical treatment. As for himself, he would stay behind to continue exploring this mysterious cave.

In this silent and eerie environment, Cheng Feng advanced cautiously, step by step. After a careful search, he was pleasantly surprised to find that there seemed to be no other potential threats lurking around. Thus, he breathed a slight sigh of relief, but still remained highly vigilant.

Subsequently, Cheng Feng unhesitatingly returned to the cave where he had previously obtained the books. He pondered to himself, "Since this place once contained precious items, perhaps there are other treasures nearby?" With such expectations, he began to carefully survey his surroundings, not overlooking any corner that might hide treasures.

Cheng Feng proceeded cautiously, each step taken with exceptional steadiness. He carefully observed the surrounding stone walls, searching for possible hidden mechanisms or treasures. Before long, he arrived once again at the cave where the mysterious books were stored.

The light inside the cave was dim, with only faint rays of light filtering through a few cracks in the rocks. Cheng Feng lit a torch, and the firelight illuminated a corner of the cave.

Everything in the cave remained as it was before, as if time had never passed. Cheng Feng couldn't help but feel doubtful, unsure whether Nie Yuan had visited this place again. After all, he had taken several books, and perhaps Nie Yuan had already noticed something.

With anticipation and nervousness, Cheng Feng decided to re-examine this place, hoping for new discoveries. Because he still carried the Phoenix Warm Jade he had obtained from Nie Yuan, this jade pendant might hold a crucial clue. According to Babai's observation, there were slight friction marks around the jade pendant, which most likely hinted at some important secret.

However, after searching high and low, Cheng Feng still found nothing, and a sense of frustration gradually arose in his heart. Exhausted, he finally sat down on the single bed, wanting to rest for a while. Just then, he suddenly felt that the bed seemed somewhat unusual.

This bed was not an ordinary object that could be moved at will; it was more like it had been hewn directly from the inside of the mountain wall. Cheng Feng became curious and began to carefully feel around this mysterious stone bed. As the saying goes, 'Effort never fails those who try,' and finally, at the head of the bed, he felt a barely perceptible groove.

Without hesitation, Cheng Feng took out the Phoenix Warm Jade and carefully embedded it into the groove. In an instant, a muffled sound was heard, and the entire stone bed actually began to move slowly!

There's another compartment here!!!

The surprise in Cheng Feng's heart surged like a tide. He stepped over the stone bed and entered the hidden compartment, and the scene before him left him dumbfounded.

Inside the compartment were huge medicinal herb racks, with the herbs scattered about. Cheng Feng took a deep breath, and he could feel a rich medicinal fragrance permeating the air, a fragrance that made him feel refreshed and invigorated.

He continued to go deeper until he arrived in front of that small room. In front of the room stood some spirit tablets, with the three characters "Ling Fang Dao" at the top, appearing particularly solemn in the dim light. Cheng Feng could feel an ancient and mysterious aura emanating from these spirit tablets, as if the owners of these spirit tablets were still silently guarding this space.

His gaze was drawn to the box on the table. The box was simple and exquisite, with some complex runes carved on it, which looked very old. Dust had accumulated on the table, indicating that the box had not been touched for a long time.

Cheng Feng's heart stirred. Could this box be the inheritance of the alchemist? He cautiously approached and reached out to touch the box. As soon as his fingers touched the box, he felt a faint wave coming from the box, as if something was resonating with him.

He took a deep breath and then gently opened the box. The moment the box was opened, a rich medicinal fragrance rushed towards him, refreshing his spirit. Cheng Feng saw two ancient books inside the box, stacked one on top of the other. These ancient books looked very old, the paper was yellowed, but the handwriting on them was still clearly visible.

He picked up one of the ancient books and opened the first page. He saw the words "Ling Fang Dao Inheritance Secret Canon" written on it, followed by some introductions about herbs and alchemy. Cheng Feng was extremely excited, he knew he had found a real treasure.

He carefully put away these ancient books one by one, and then closed the box again. Cheng Feng knew that these treasures were extremely precious, and he must cherish and use them properly.

Before leaving the small room, Cheng Feng bowed deeply to those spirit tablets again, expressing his respect and gratitude to these predecessors.

Along his journey, Cheng Feng's luckiest moment was encountering the talking big fish, which led him to the news of the silver.

Back then, as an ordinary person, Cheng Feng was almost eaten by a snake while retrieving the silver.

Naturally, this incident initiated the journey of his life.

And now, with this sudden inheritance of treasures, perhaps Cheng Feng can take another step forward.

Cheng Feng had always been worried about knowing martial arts but not medicine.

What if something happened?

It would be terrible if he encountered an incompetent doctor who would cause a loss of talent and life.

He had been thinking about whether he could use some connections to learn medicine from a doctor.

But he couldn't even get a medical book.

Now it's good, the Ghost Doctor Book, the Ling Fang Dao Inheritance Secret Canon.

They are all about saving lives and curing diseases.

As long as Cheng Feng studies hard and enters the door, then the future will be a bright road, a smooth journey.
