After confirming this matter, Shi Ling stood up from the bed and said to Chen Lu, "It's getting late. I also need to go back now. Otherwise, Yan Wuping would probably come looking for trouble with me again."

When Chen Lu heard that Shi Ling was going to leave, she frowned slightly and said unhappily, "It's just Yan Wuping, what are you afraid of? "When the time comes, just say that you're staying with me. Does he dare to have any objections?"

Shi Ling said while he was wearing his own clothes, "This has nothing to do with being afraid of him. The main reason is that I'm still just a servant and he's still my superior. If I disappear for a whole day and night without saying a word, then what would I take him for? Although I no longer have any sense of belonging to this sect, I still have to abide by the necessary rules. "

Chen Lu went silent when she heard this. On this kind of matter, she really couldn't say that Shi Ling was wrong, because she was an official disciple of the sect. Since she was raised by the sect when she was young, she naturally knew that she couldn't break the sect's rules because of some private matters.

At the same time, she stood up and helped Shi Ling put on his clothes before walking out of the cave with Shi Ling. At the same time, she took out a lot of healing pills from her own Storage Ring and passed them to Shi Ling, saying, "Take this."

When Shi Ling saw those pills, he wanted to reject them, but Chen Lu did not give him the chance. She directly stuffed them into his hands and said: "The healing pills are not considered little by anyone, not to mention that your injuries have not fully recovered. So, no matter what, you must keep these pills."

After seeing Chen Lu's stubborn expression, Shi Ling could only nod and agree. He immediately put her in his arms and left the cave, while Chen Lu stood in front of the entrance to the cave, silently watching Shi Ling leave. Her expression was very lonely, and after she could no longer see Shi Ling, she turned around and returned to her cave abode.

At this moment, Shi Ling was walking on a cobblestone path. It was already midnight. The bright moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the road ahead.

Originally, according to Shi Ling's current injuries, he could not be under the bed. If it wasn't for Chen Lu's help, he probably would have already collapsed on the ground. But even so, his long walk had made him feel a little exhausted.

Fortunately, the distance from here to Shi Ling's residence wasn't too far. After walking for a quarter of an hour, Shi Ling arrived.

It didn't matter if it was useful or not, everything was stuffed in here. When Shi Ling pushed open the door, the door would still make a "Zi Zi" sound, which was very ear-piercing, but Shi Ling didn't seem to mind at all. Obviously, he had heard a lot, and after he closed the door behind him, he sat on his own straw bed.

The reason it was called a straw bed was because it was made of two stools and a wooden board. Because there was no quilt on it, Shi Ling would put some straw on it during winter. Over time, the bed became a straw bed.

Shi Ling sat on the bed and then fell down. If it was anyone else, they would have felt uncomfortable on top of it, because the thatch had barbs. Most people wouldn't be able to sleep on it, but Shi Ling seemed very calm.

Looking at the room full of junk, not to mention the shabby room, one could even see many rats and cockroaches crawling around. Compared to the Paradise that Shi Ling lived in before, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.

At the beginning, Shi Ling didn't need to live in a junk room, so he could live in the dormitory with the other servants. But after the staff in the dormitory were full, Yan Wuping told Shi Ling to stay in the junk room and call him back when there was an empty seat. However, since the moment Shi Ling moved to this place, no one had asked him to go back.

Thinking about this, Shi Ling couldn't help but laugh bitterly. He felt it was good like this, at least in this place, he lived by himself, compared to the dormitory, where they lived in groups, Shi Ling still felt that this place was better.

He turned around and thought back to what had happened today. First, he was bullied by a bunch of people, then he retorted. Even Yan Wuping dared to ignore them. Then, he was saved by Chen Lu and forced into marriage by her.

Thinking about forcing a marriage, Shi Ling couldn't help but find it funny. If he were to speak about this with someone else, they would probably die from laughter. It would be ridiculous for a proud daughter of heaven, Spirit Sword Sect, to be forced into marriage by a servant.

Even though Shi Ling himself felt that it was impossible, but it had really happened. Moreover, not long ago, not only was the other party a proud daughter of heaven, it was also his ex-girlfriend.

Then, he raised his right hand and slowly clenched it, recalling the argument between him and Fatty Xu before, when he was sent flying by a single hand, Fatty Xu was a body refining second level cultivator, even if he was weak, he shouldn't have been stepped on so easily, but how could he have been able to unleash such a strong power at that time?

Suddenly, he sat up on the bed. At that moment, he recalled the scene before he hit Fatty Xu. At that time, it was as if his fist was wrapped by an invisible flame, and it was also because of the appearance of that flame that caused his strength to increase greatly.

So the question is, where does the fire come from? That thought flashed across Shi Ling's mind as he stared at his right hand in shock.

Shi Ling frowned and then closed his eyes. He sat cross-legged and formed a Stamping in his hand. At this moment, Shi Ling was peeping at the situation in his right hand.

If it was in the past, he would have liked to borrow the external spiritual energy to examine his own body. Not only could he examine his own body more clearly, it would not cause any harm to his own body. But now, Shi Ling's power had been crippled, and he did not know if this method would work.

As the Stamping in Shi Ling's hands started to move, dense fog started to appear around him. It was lingering around him and was unable to enter Shi Ling's body. It was as if the outside air couldn't enter a sealed space.

At that moment, Shi Ling was in that state. Because the Spirit Vein in his body was destroyed, he could not absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth from the outside into his body and he could not cultivate.

In the end, he could only helplessly sigh and give up. When he opened his eyes, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, all these years, he had already tried to act like this once, but the results were all the same, he was unable to infuse any of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth from the outside world into his body.

All of a sudden, he felt as if his chest was stuffed, causing him to cough uncontrollably. Immediately, he coughed several times as his right hand covered his mouth.

After coughing for a while, Shi Ling let out a sigh of relief. When he looked at his hand, he saw that there was a lot of blood on it.

But because of this, Shi Ling's face revealed a shocked expression, not because Shi Ling coughed up a lot of blood, but because on Shi Ling's right index finger, white light was gathering. The blood on his hand was also gathering towards his index finger at a slow speed, it looked like it was absorbing Shi Ling's blood!

Shi Ling's eyes widened even more. Even his mouth started to slightly open as he watched in disbelief.

As the fresh blood was absorbed by the index finger, the specks of white light gradually fused together and formed a white ribbon. The white ribbon was like a white snake as it coiled around Shi Ling's index finger.

Looking at the thing that suddenly appeared on his finger, Shi Ling couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. Being caught unprepared, he gently stroked it with his other hand, trying to take it off. When he tried to see what it was, he found that this thing couldn't be removed at all, as if it was growing on his finger.

Shi Ling immediately became anxious. Before he figured out what it was, he really didn't dare to keep it in his hand. Who knows what else would happen? Thus, Shi Ling gradually increased the power in his hand.

However, at the same time, a weak white flame suddenly shot out from the ring. After it touched Shi Ling's finger, it immediately ignited and almost instantly wrapped Shi Ling within it.

Shi Ling was stunned. After feeling the burning sensation on his body, he fell off the bed and rolled on the floor. He wanted to use this method to extinguish the fire on his body.

No matter how Shi Ling rolled, he was unable to extinguish it. What was even more surprising was that the flames seemed to only target Shi Ling's body, and did not have any effect on Shi Ling's clothes or anything else on his body.

He wanted to crawl out of the door to see if anyone could save him, but that flame seemed to be going against Shi Ling on purpose. The more Shi Ling crawled out of the door, the more the flames seemed to burn more vigorously.

"Help, help!"

Shi Ling let out a weak voice and prayed that someone outside could hear his cry for help when he passed by. However, he clearly understood that his room was in the corner of the service department. Normally, no one would come here, let alone it was the middle of the night.

Seeing that no one came to save him, a look of despair appeared in Shi Ling's eyes. After letting out a low roar, his extended hand quietly fell to the ground. As a result, he also fainted.

However, after Shi Ling fainted, the flames started to throb. Soon after, the healing pills and ointment that Chen Lu gave Shi Ling started to merge with his body under the burning of the flames.

As the medicinal effects of the ointment gradually began to take effect, the injuries on Shi Ling's body started to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, Shi Ling's muscles also started to change, first expanding, then contracting, repeating over and over again.
