Divine Doctor from the Start of the Eye Mutation

Chapter 1641 1641: Far from Glorious

Lu Tao's expression became somewhat hazy, clearly reminiscent of his past.

Lu Tao said, "Indeed, I'm not boasting, but back then, wherever I went, there was always a group of girls following me. It was quite the spectacle."

Ling Zhenfei asked, "What is your attitude towards relationships?"

Lu Tao said, "Feelings are something that happen naturally. I used to have many girls around me, but for various reasons, many of them left, and some were hurt by me.

However, being stuck in this cave for twenty years, I've realized some things. In life, it's all about men loving women, and in relationships, no one owes anyone anything."

Ling Zhenfei was hearing such a theory for the first time and was quite curious.

"What do you mean by this, senior? Can you explain?"

Lu Tao replied, "It's very simple. If a girl likes you, and she feels like she needs you to live, comforting her could make her remember you for life. But if you ignore her, she might be sad for life.

However, if you acknowledge her, she may find that you are not as good as she imagined, and eventually leave. Who would you say is at fault?"

Ling Zhenfei was stunned. The world is always like this: what you can't have seems the best, but when you get it, you realize the world isn't so perfect.

Perhaps Bai Ling's departure and Liu Bingying's leaving were because of this.

In the beginning, being with Ling Zhenfei felt wonderful, but over time, with so many things happening,

it may not have been because Ling Zhenfei was bad, but because, for some reason, being with him wasn't as perfect as imagined, so they chose to leave.

Lu Tao is indeed a seasoned figure, and he also had a glorious past like Ling Zhenfei.

Lu Tao was skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and divination. There was nothing he couldn't do, and naturally, he had many admirers around him, which brought its own troubles.

However, Lu Tao believed that in matters of love, no one owes anyone anything, which was a great shock to Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei had always thought of being responsible for everyone, but do these people really need you to be responsible for them? Are they hoping you'll take responsibility?

Ling Zhenfei felt he needed some time to digest this matter.

From morning until dusk, a large Silver Needle that Ling Zhenfei had inserted in Lu Tao's chest suddenly shot out.

As the Silver Needle was expelled, a foul-smelling black liquid spewed out from inside.

It truly sprayed; some of the liquid even splattered onto the opposite wall, and the entire cave was filled with a stench that lingered for a long time.

Ling Zhenfei exhaled deeply and continued to apply Northern Spiritual Energy to help Lu Tao expel all the poisonous liquid. Even the blood tainted by poison that couldn't be removed flowed out.

Ling Zhenfei was delighted, finally finished; the whole day had drained too much of his Northern Spiritual Energy, and his body was very tired.

Lu Yunshang had been standing at the cave entrance and only came over after the poison had been expelled and Ling Zhenfei finished up.

"How is my father?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Senior is fine, just very exhausted. He needs some time to recuperate."

Lu Yunshang was shocked, "Have you really expelled all the poison?"

Ling Zhenfei replied, "Except for what's in the bones that can't be helped, all of it has been expelled. Now, the senior should be able to walk and is no different from an ordinary person.

For complete recovery, you'll need long-term medication."

Lu Tao opened his eyes and said, "I do feel much better, just that I need to recuperate. I can now start cultivating myself, recovery should be easy."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Now that you can walk, why don't I take you both down the mountain? At the estate, cultivating will be much more comfortable with all necessary supplies."

Lu Tao replied, "No need. My illness has just been treated, and I need to recover, so I won't move just yet. I'll cultivate here and recover for a few more days."

Ling Zhenfei said, "That's also fine, but I may have some matters in the coming days and might not be able to come. If you need me, just give me a call, or go directly to find my sister-in-law, Zhou Yun, down the mountain."

Lu Yunshang said, "Thank you so much. I'll call you if there's anything."

Ling Zhenfei said, "No problem, I'm going back to cultivate. Today has been quite exhausting."

Ling Zhenfei bid farewell to the two and flew down the mountain. Once he was a distance away, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

While treating Lu Tao earlier, he hadn't intended to take so long, but unexpectedly, when expelling the poison, he was counterattacked by the hidden cultivation within Lu Tao's body.

Ling Zhenfei endured it all, and only after leading out that cultivation was it truly over.

The reason the poison sprayed out was due to that burst of Northern Spiritual Energy pushing it out.

After Ling Zhenfei left, Lu Tao and his daughter sat down to cultivate in the cave.

Lu Tao opened his eyes, gazing in the direction Ling Zhenfei had left, and said to Lu Yunshang, "He is indeed a good kid. Do you and your sisters not like him?"

Lu Yunshang replied, "There are so many good kids in the world, am I supposed to like them all?"

Lu Tao said, "When he was treating and detoxifying me, he was counterattacked by the Northern Spiritual Energy within my body, but pretended as if nothing happened. I think he's surely injured now."

Lu Yunshang was startled, "Then why didn't he mention it?"

Lu Tao said, "That's why I said he's a good kid."

Lu Yunshang looked in the direction where Ling Zhenfei had disappeared, lost in thought.

Ling Zhenfei returned home, feeling the wounds inside his body painfully throbbing.

The Northern Spiritual Energy hidden within Lu Tao's body was the main cause of his injuries.

Was Lu Tao already at the Pursue Heart State then? To injure a master of that lvl, the power must have been incredibly strong.

Even after twenty years, the cultivation within Lu Tao's body had been gradually worn down, its power much diminished, yet it still caused a terrifying backlash.

Back at home, Ling Zhenfei closed the door and entered the Peach Blossom Secret Realm.

To heal his injuries quickly, inside the Peach Blossom Secret Realm is the best place.

The Lightning Bird chirped from a distant mountain, and Ling Zhenfei was surprised to see it fighting a Giant Eagle.

The Giant Eagle was enormous, its wings covering the sky, indicating its cultivation was very profound.

Ling Zhenfei thought of the Giant Eagle deep in Xianling Mountain, knowing how terrifyingly powerful the beast was.

And now the Lightning Bird, still a fledgling, wielded some Northern Spiritual Energy.

But the Lightning Bird was attacking the Giant Eagle with its speed.

The Giant Eagle's wing movements created strong tornadoes.

However, these storms were ineffective against the Lightning Bird, which relied solely on its speed to launch repeated attacks on the Giant Eagle.

Among those who've faced Ling Zhenfei, most utilized three kinds of cultivation techniques, one of which was using powerful Northern Spiritual Energy in combat.
