The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 555 Acknowledging the Master

Lin Xue nodded, "Anyway, we have plenty of time, let’s try it slowly!"

"I have tried infusing it with Spiritual Power, but unfortunately, it had no effect," Ling Feng said.

"Then have you tried cutting it open?" Lin Xue asked.

Ling Feng was startled, then shook his head, "I haven’t thought of that; after all, it’s a precious thing. What if I cut it carelessly and damage it? Then the loss would outweigh the gain."

"But doesn’t this book mention that the stone is only the size of a pigeon’s egg? Doesn’t that mean it has been cut?" Lin Xue continued to inquire.

Ling Feng smacked his lips, "That’s a possibility, yes. But there’s another possibility, that the octopus wasn’t large enough to produce a stone of this size!"

"That makes sense," she agreed.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xue nodded and began to ponder with a frown.

At the same time, she muttered to herself, "It worked on that octopus’s head, and the book said others had used it before. Why can’t we use it?"

"Do you think this stone is alive, that it has life?" Ling Feng asked.

Lin Xue was taken aback and looked up at him, "That can’t be, can it? How can we verify that?"

"Why not try with a knife?" said Ling Feng.

His suggestion made Lin Xue somewhat reluctant, and she shook her head, "No, let’s think of something else."

After speaking, she mumbled, "There must be a way. Are we missing some detail?"

Ling Feng, finding her engrossed in thought and looking quite adorable, couldn’t help but wrap his arms around her shoulders, "Don’t rush, this thing isn’t of much use to me for now. What can I do if it simply sits in the ring?"

"I just feel that if it could be utilized, it might significantly enhance your strength, so there would be less to worry about when facing danger," Lin Xue lifted her head to say.

Knowing she cared for him filled Ling Feng’s heart with warmth, and he couldn’t resist giving her a gentle kiss on the lips, "I appreciate your kindness, what did I do to deserve meeting someone as good to me as you?"

"Quit it and focus on thinking!" Lin Xue rolled her eyes at him.

Ling Feng chuckled, furrowed his brows in thought, and suddenly, a spark of inspiration flashed through his mind, "Hey? Do you think this thing requires a master to utilize it?"

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xue looked up, her eyes widening, "We could definitely give that a try!"

"How should we test it? Like in the movies and TV shows, a blood ritual?" Ling Feng asked with a wry smile.

"Yeah, isn’t it always like that?" Lin Xue asked.

Ling Feng shook his head, "But I feel like that’s all fictional. Look at this Illusionary Ring. You just wear it, and there’s no need for any blood-letting process."

"Oh, stop fussing and just try!"

Lin Xue said, grabbing his hand. Finding nothing suitable to use, she opened her mouth to bite!

Ling Feng was startled and instinctively withdrew his hand, asking helplessly, "What are you doing? We have a knife, why use your mouth? Are you sure you want to do this?"

"What’s the harm, it’s not like I’ll bite you to death!" Lin Xue snickered, her shoulders shaking with mirth.

Ling Feng rolled his eyes, took out the God Slayer Saber, and gently made a cut on his finger.

The wound was shallow, a fine thread of blood oozing out, slowly gathering into a drop.

Then, with a sense of ceremony, he gently let the drop of blood fall onto the stone!

Lin Xue’s eyes were already wide open, not blinking for fear of missing something.

After the drop of blood fell onto the stone, it slowly seeped into it and then disappeared without a trace, leaving no mark on the stone as if nothing had happened.

Ling Feng, watching in surprise and about to speak, saw the interior of the stone emit a light!

A soft white glow flashed and disappeared, and both he and Lin Xue were left bewildered!

Subconsciously stretching out his hand to touch it, Ling Feng immediately had three words flash across his mind, "Divine Light Stone!"

Next to those big characters, there was also a line of small text: First-grade, upgradeable.

"Hey, what’s wrong?"

Seeing Ling Feng in a daze, Lin Xue quickly asked.

"It really worked!"

Ling Feng’s face lit up with joy, and he turned to look at her, "This thing is the Divine Light Stone, recognition has been successful, now I can use it!"

Lin Xue was also overjoyed and immediately said, "Then why not try it now!"

"Alright!"

Ling Feng was also full of enthusiasm, quickly stood up with the stone in hand, and faced its as-smooth-as-a-mirror side toward the distant Gobi desert, turning his head to Lin Xue, "Step back a bit, don’t get accidentally hurt!"

"Okay."

Lin Xue was also a bit nervous, feeling the same excitement mixed with a little fear as when she as a child watched her brother set off firecrackers from a safe distance.

Ling Feng gripped the Divine Light Stone tightly and then, focusing, he channeled the Spiritual Energy from his dantian, sending it straight through his arm!

A flash of white light vanished as quickly as it appeared, leaving Ling Feng looking bewildered.

The event happened so fast, he hadn’t even had time to react.

So he turned back to Lin Xue, "Did you see anything?"

"Look over there!"

Lin Xue pointed with a small hand, directly at the spot he had just aimed at.

Following her indication, Ling Feng looked over and realized that a rock there had changed shape.

What was just an ordinary red rock was now missing a chunk, as if it had been melted away.

The two quickly approached and indeed, saw that part of the rock had melted away, and they could even feel the scorching heat when they brought their hand close!

"It really works, but wasn’t that light too fast?" Lin Xue asked, turning to him.

"Yeah, and it seems it wasn’t very accurate, I clearly didn’t aim at this spot!"

Ling Feng scratched his head, then continued, "Another thing, the light beam the giant octopus emitted was continuous and as thick as a bucket, so why has it become like this in my hands?"

"Just try a few more times, we’ll figure out what’s going on!" Lin Xue said.

"Alright then."

Ling Feng nodded, grasped the Divine Light Stone again, and aimed at an even farther position.

He activated it once more.

This time, both of them saw it, a white light beam, as thick as a thumb, shot out and instantly melted away more than half of a rock after hitting it!

After a few more attempts, Ling Feng finally started to see a pattern.

The white light beam was triggered by Spiritual Power.

The more Spiritual Power given, the thicker the beam would be, and the longer it would last!

Sudden activation made it hard to aim, so to hit the target, the best method was to keep funneling Spiritual Energy into the Divine Light Stone continuously, so the light wouldn’t vanish, and you could just aim with your hand and blast the target.

But this method of operation had a big flaw: it was extremely draining on Spiritual Energy!

After only seven or eight experiments, Ling Feng felt as though the Spiritual Energy inside him had been drained!

A wave of tiredness washed over him, and although he wanted to try again, he was willing but no longer able.

So all he could do was give a wry smile and say to Lin Xue, "It looks like, if I want to be skilled with this thing, I’ll have to wait until I reach a higher realm!"
