Chapter 1008 - 1006: Wait for Me for a Moment
"Boom!"
Beneath the waterfall, accompanied by a loud splash, Xia Jianping plunged into the pool. His head was spinning; a drop from a waterfall over thirty meters high met the water’s surface as if it were solid ground. Even though he had circulated his True Qi mid-fall, the impact had almost killed him. His entire body felt as if it were about to shatter, and he was overwhelmed with fear. If he hadn’t circulated his True Qi, he feared he might have truly died upon impact.
But just then, one after another, figures began dropping from above!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
...
The other children also fell into the pool one by one, causing a series of resounding splashes as they disappeared beneath the water’s surface. Their conditions were far worse than Xia Jianping’s; only one child managed to stay conscious and surfaced, while the rest were knocked out by the immense force upon impact.
Upon seeing this, Xia Jianping and the child who had surfaced immediately dove back into the pool to rescue their peers, fearing they would drown. But after searching the pool, they could not find the others, which sent both of them into a panic. They quickly emerged from the water intending to seek Lin Feng’s help with the rescue. They were incredibly anxious, not having expected any real emergencies to occur...
However, when they surfaced to look for Lin Feng, both of them were stupefied. Their eyes widened in disbelief as they saw Lin Feng on the shore. They had no idea when Lin Feng had arrived at the pool’s edge, and what was even more unbelievable was that the children who had vanished were all lying sopping wet at Lin Feng’s feet—without a single drop of water on him!
How could this be!
They... they hadn’t seen Teacher Lin come at all!
...
Witnessing this scene, Xia Jianping and the other child were completely dumbstruck. They had been vigilant of their surroundings the whole time, and in the brief moment they were underwater, they couldn’t comprehend how Lin Feng had descended and rescued the children without them noticing. It was all so miraculous—it was simply impossible for anyone to believe.
But by now, they had grown accustomed to Lin Feng’s way of doing things. After a brief shock, they hurriedly scrambled ashore and ran to Lin Feng’s side.
"Teacher Lin, are they... are they all right?"
"Teacher Lin, please wake them up..."
The two children immediately beseeched Lin Feng to revive the others, anxious to ensure there were no issues.
"They are fine, don’t worry. They just need to cough up some water," Lin Feng said calmly to Xia Jianping and the other child. Then he squatted down beside the unconscious children, tapped on them a few times, and one by one, they began to regain consciousness, violently coughing up the water they had inhaled into their lungs.
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
...
After vomiting for quite some time, the children slowly recovered and struggled to get up, their bodies aching as if falling apart. Even with their True Qi activated, they couldn’t withstand the tremendous force of the impact...
"Sit down, immediately meditate, and do your Cultivation. Ignore everything that happens around you and focus on circulating your Cultivation Technique to recover your bodies," Lin Feng instructed after seeing that the children were out of danger. The waterfall jump was a sudden idea he had; he wanted to test the limits of the children’s endurance. But the result left him somewhat unsatisfied—the children’s bodies were still too weak and needed further strengthening.
Hearing Lin Feng’s command, the children said nothing. They instantly followed his instructions, ignoring their drenched clothes, and began meditating, each channeling their spell. As they began to circulate their spells, they felt the pain in their bodies gradually fade away, and the speed at which the True Qi circulated inside them increased several times faster than usual!
However, they soon forgot about this, engrossed fully in their Cultivation. Such an excellent opportunity was not to be missed. They quickly entered a state of deep meditation, and once in that state, they became oblivious to anything happening in the outside world.
After the children entered into their meditative states, Lin Feng began to massage them, working to eliminate the negative effects brought on by their oppressive morning training. However, while massaging the children, Lin Feng suddenly remembered something.
When he had been on the island before, undergoing his Master’s oppressive training, he was able to rapidly increase his strength. But that was under a precondition: every day, after coming back from the brink of death, he would have to undergo medicinal treatment in the evening. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have survived. So, this training method required a complete set of supportive measures. Without them, there would definitely be problems—at best, these children would be injured; at worst, they would be forever incapable of cultivation or even face death!
Realizing this darkened Lin Feng’s expression. He now wanted to procure medicinal herbs to heal these children. Only with the right herbs could he concoct a full set of auxiliary elixirs to remove the negative effects and ensure the children could grow rapidly without any hidden dangers...
In a little while, Lin Feng finished massaging the children and immediately woke them up. They were deeply immersed in their cultivation practice when Lin Feng interrupted them. Confused, they looked at Lin Feng with puzzled eyes.
"How does one go about getting medicinal herbs here? How can one obtain them?" Lin Feng asked the children directly. He needed to solve the problem of securing herbs in order to create elixirs for the children, ensuring their training under his methods would be problem-free!
"Teacher Lin," the children replied, "the clan does not provide things for free. Apart from the fixed allocation every month, everything else requires an exchange. That’s the clan’s rule. Without anything to trade, you cannot get the herbs."
Not quite understanding why Lin Feng was asking this, Xia Jianping still explained to Lin Feng the clan’s internal rules, wanting to let Lin Feng know that obtaining herbs required an exchange of something else!
"How can one exchange for medicinal herbs? What can be traded to the clan for them?" Lin Feng, having heard Xia Jianping’s words, asked again. Such arrangements were normal, after all, the resources for cultivation within the clan were not simply swept in by the wind.
"Teacher Lin, anything can be traded. If you want good quality herbs, most people in the clan choose to exchange Demon Beasts they’ve killed. In the depths of this forest live some Demon Beasts that have condensed Demon Cores. These Demon Cores are the most valuable items, and the Demon Beasts that form them are all over a hundred years old. Their strength is terrifying!"
"What’s more deadly is that such Demon Beasts are seldom found alone. A group of Demon Beasts in the Transcendent Realm is not something anyone can afford to provoke. To hunt for Demon Cores, there’s a specialized Demon Hunting Team in the clan, composed entirely of masters. Even so, there are often casualties. Therefore, Demon Cores are extremely precious in the clan and can be exchanged for a lot of elixirs. If exchanged for herbs, you can get even more!"
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s inquiries, Xia Jianping quickly shared the clan’s internal situation with Lin Feng, wanting him to understand exactly what was involved. As for why Lin Feng was asking, he roughly guessed that Lin Feng probably wanted to perform alchemy for them. Without herbs, even if Lin Feng was an Alchemist, it would be of no use. Hence, he was forthright.
Having witnessed Lin Feng’s Alchemy, Xia Jianping felt extremely excited inside. If they could acquire the medicinal herbs, then the elixirs for their cultivation would no longer be an issue. Their cultivation speed would then soar, and the thought left him restless...
"Teacher Lin, those Demon Beasts are really dangerous!"
"Yes, the Demon Hunting Team consists of the clan’s elite, and yet, there are often casualties!"
"Teacher Lin, if we need herbs, why don’t we just go and gather them ourselves? Those Demon Beasts are really too powerful!"
...
The other children also chimed in, sensing that Lin Feng was considering hunting Demon Beasts in exchange for herbs. However, these Demon Beasts with condensed Demon Cores were terrifying creatures in their minds, often appearing in groups, far beyond what one person could handle alone. They really didn’t want Lin Feng to be in danger; if something happened to him, who would teach them then?
But before they could say much more, they heard Lin Feng’s indifferent voice...
"Continue to focus on recovering; I’ll be back shortly."
Lin Feng didn’t pay heed to the children’s words. Knowing the method to obtain herbs was sufficient. As for the Demon Beasts the children mentioned, Lin Feng wasn’t the least bit concerned. Back on the other side of the island, he had encountered all sorts of strange Demon Beasts and fought against different levels of them! After speaking, he vanished from the spot in a flash, not wanting to waste time. He needed to slay the Demon Beasts swiftly so that the children could trade for medicinal herbs.
What!
Teacher Lin has disappeared?
How... how did Teacher Lin leave?
...
Seeing Lin Feng vanish right before their eyes, they were all stunned and couldn’t comprehend what just happened. Teacher Lin had suddenly disappeared—too mysteriously. Even if he was leaving, some trace should have been visible. But Teacher Lin had vanished as if he had dissipated into thin air—it was too unbelievable!
It took them a moment to snap out of their stupor. Remembering Lin Feng’s words before he left, they immediately discarded other thoughts and focused on their recovery. Lin Feng had said he would return shortly, and they would surely continue their training upon his return, so they didn’t want to waste any time.
However, not much time had passed, and while they were all healing and cultivating, Lin Feng suddenly appeared without a sound!
