C1 A Blessing in Disguise

The intense pain woke Xu Feng up from his coma. He struggled to get up from the ground, breathing heavily. Wherever he looked, a gray fog covered the entire valley.

There were human bones and skulls scattered on the ground, as well as human and animal corpses that had yet to completely rot.

This was a mass grave on the outskirts of the city!

"Hiss... It really hurts! Xu Jing, do you think I'm dead? Hehe... I've really disappointed you! " Xu Feng's body was covered in blood and his left leg was broken. His right arm was almost crushed, and his internal organs were seriously injured.

Xu Feng was an apprentice alchemist of his family, so he knew his own injuries very well. Although he was lucky that he didn't die, if this injury wasn't treated in time, he wouldn't even be able to walk out of the mass grave. He was afraid that he would die!

Healing injuries required Medicine Pill or medicinal herbs, but Xu Feng's body was completely clean. There was nothing on him.

"Xu Jing, it's you who didn't have the ability to refine and cripple medicinal herbs, yet you vented your anger on me. How could you be so ruthless? If I don't die, I will definitely make you pay a hundred times over in the future!"

Xu Feng's eyes were red. It was the light of hatred.

Although they were both disciples of the Xu family, their treatment was vastly different. Xu Jing was the son of an elder who controlled the wealth in his family. He was usually arrogant and despotic, especially towards Xu Feng. He had tried all kinds of ways to humiliate him.

He staggered forward, and cracking sounds could be heard from time to time. It was the sound of bones being crushed under his feet.

This was the depths of the mass grave. The fog had covered the entire valley for a long time. It was a gloomy and desolate place, and there were few people here.

Xu Feng, who had just turned fifteen, had unexpectedly died. In the year after his mother disappeared without a trace, he had barely cultivated to the first level of the Martial Path.

Xu Feng's natural endowment was not bad, but he lacked cultivation resources, and no one taught him. Even so, Xu Feng had never given up hope.

Xu Feng, who had no one to rely on, had been neglected and humiliated in his family. If he died in this mass grave, he would be like a wild dog without anyone to ask about him.

Xu Feng's body was constantly weakening, and his consciousness was also starting to become dizzy. He relied on his willpower to hold on, because he knew that if he continued to fall, he would never be able to stand up again.

He must walk out of this mass grave, he must not give up hope!

Strange rocks were craggy within the burial mound, bones everywhere. Xu Feng staggered forward, becoming slower and slower...

Bang! Xu Feng fell headfirst onto a dried corpse. His expression was stubborn and fierce.

"Could it be that the heavens want me, Xu Feng, to die? I'm not willing to accept this!" Xu Feng let out a cry of despair in his heart!

With his left hand supporting the ground, Xu Feng tried to stand up again. His heavily injured body was soft and powerless.

Xu Feng sighed. The warm feeling in the center of his left hand's palm made him slightly concentrate. As an apprentice alchemist, he had this kind of feeling countless times. That was... a spirit medicine?

Xu Feng turned his body sideways and pulled away the corpse and weeds that were pressing down on him. A fiery-red plant drilled out from the soil. Xu Feng moved his hand away and saw what he had accidentally touched just now. His breathing became rapid!

Red Holy Fruit!

A rare grade three spirit medicine, and not just one, but an entire stalk!

Xu Feng's heart was boiling, and his spirit was roused! This Red Holy Fruit spirit plant that was covered by the corpse was cleaned up, and a string of spirit fruits appeared in front of him.

"Haha, hahahaha!" Xu Feng laughed excitedly.

There was always a way out in the world! This Red Holy Fruit was a holy medicine for healing injuries. Although Xu Feng's injuries were very serious and he was on the verge of death, as long as he consumed one Red Holy Fruit, he would be able to recover immediately.

The effects of this Red Holy Fruit could be said to be able to revive the dead!

Xu Feng did not hesitate. He plucked one and swallowed it. The fruit melted in his mouth as soon as it entered his mouth. Boundless medicinal strength surged into his limbs and bones, and Xu Feng quickly entered a meditative state.

The sky darkened. The night in the mass burial mound was as dark as ink. Occasionally, dark green phosphorous flames would burn, adding a cold atmosphere. Even wild beasts avoided this place. Xu Feng was not disturbed in the slightest.

After an entire night had passed, Xu Feng woke up. He opened his eyes and was full of energy. His injuries had fully recovered! Moreover, his entire body was brimming with blood and energy. His realm, which he had not advanced in for a long time, had actually loosened up. He had already reached the threshold of Fighter 2-dan.

Looking at the remaining Red Holy Fruit, the excitement in Xu Feng's heart transformed into a long roar that resounded throughout the entire valley.

"Xu Jing, you didn't expect this, did you? I, Xu Feng, survived a great disaster and obtained this opportunity. Just you wait, I will get my revenge soon! "

With these Red Holy Fruit, Xu Jing, who had mediocre talent, had to rely on his father's power and all sorts of spirit Medicine Pill materials to reach the second level of the Martial Path. Xu Feng would be able to catch up to Xu Jing's realm very quickly, and taking revenge was not difficult.

"Eh? What is this?" Xu Feng bent over to grab the entire Red Holy Fruit. He saw that the roots of the Red Holy Fruit were not connected to the soil on the ground, but a bottle.

Xu Feng picked up the bottle, but he did not notice that there was blood on his hand that had seeped into the bottle. He felt a sharp pain in his hand, and at the same time, it was as if his brain had been pierced by needles. Xu Feng's vision went black, and he heard a loud voice in a trance. There was also a terrifying aura.

Xu Feng shook his head. The voice and aura disappeared in an instant, and the mass grave became silent.

"Is it an illusion?" Xu Feng thought to himself.

Xu Feng's attention was once again focused on the Red Holy Fruit and the bottle.

"This Red Holy Fruit actually grew out of the bottle. It's really strange and strange. Could it be... that this bottle is some incredible treasure?"

Xu Feng's heart was burning with passion. He put away the Red Holy Fruit, picked up the bottle, and carefully looked at it for a moment. He casually stuffed the remaining Red Holy Fruit fruit core into the mouth of the bottle and put the bottle into his pocket.

"Xu Jing, you harmed fellow disciples. The rules of the family can beat you around the bush, and I will not let you off!" Xu Feng walked out of the mass grave and returned to the Xu family.

The mass grave in the dense fog, the dried corpse that was accidentally pressed down by Xu Feng, and the two hands that were left with only bones seemed to move...

The sky was slightly bright. Xu Feng returned to the Xu family and went straight to the herb garden.

"Xu Feng? You... You actually came back? " At the entrance of the herb garden, a janitor disciple looked as if he had seen a ghost when he saw Xu Feng.

Xu Feng grinned and ignored the janitor. He closed the door of the medicinal garden.

"Xu Jing, are you surprised to hear that I have returned? I really look forward to seeing you again!"

According to his previous habit of being bullied by Xu Jing, after beating Xu Feng once, Xu Jing would stop for a few days. After all, the Xu family was a large family in the Celestial Wind City. There were many rules in the Xu family, and there were many eyes and eyes. Xu Jing also had some concerns.

These few days were the opportunity for Xu Feng to surpass Xu Jing and take revenge!

As an apprentice alchemist, Xu Feng had almost no time to rest. He worked day and night in the medicine garden. Although he was tired, the only benefit was that no one paid attention to him. In the medicine garden area, Xu Feng was free.

After consuming another Red Holy Fruit, Xu Feng successfully broke through to the second level of the Martial Path. But this was still not enough. To defeat Xu Jing, he still needed to stabilize his realm and consolidate his combat strength!

"This Red Holy Fruit is a grade three spirit medicine. It's very precious. Using it for daily cultivation is a waste."

One should know that even a great family like the Xu family... Even the patriarch of the Xu family would find it hard to find a grade three spiritual herb. Not much. In the herb garden of the Xu family, there were a few top herbs. They were only at the Second Stage rank, even if they were at the Second Stage rank. Every now and then, they would send someone to supervise the herb garden.

When Xu Feng took out the small bottle again, he was stunned.

The core of the fruit that he casually stuffed into the bottle cracked and germinated. In less than a day's time, it actually turned into a Red Holy Fruit sapling.

"This... Could this small bottle be a treasure even more precious than a Red Holy Fruit? " Xu Feng had yet to take a closer look at the small bottle. He picked it up and gently stroked it. He waved it casually, and the sound of liquid flowing could be heard from within the bottle.

Xu Feng turned the bottle upside down and dripped a few drops of emerald green liquid from the bottle. The fragrance was pleasant. Xu Feng's mind moved, and he quickly used the Red Holy Fruit's sapling to borrow it.

The liquid was thick, as if it was stuck to the bottle. Therefore, Xu Feng did not notice that the bottle was not empty.

"No wonder... It's impossible for this Red Holy Fruit to grow without roots. So it was the effect of the green liquid in the bottle. This thing is actually able to give birth to spirit medicines, it's simply inconceivable!"

After the green liquid dripped onto the seedling, Xu Feng watched nervously. However, after a moment, Xu Feng's breathing became rapid!

The seedling was growing at a visible rate. Looking at this speed, Xu Feng estimated that if he handed over a few more bottles of the juice, in less than three to five days, the Red Holy Fruit plant would be able to produce ripe fruits!

"The effect of this green juice is truly heaven defying." Xu Feng tried to take out another Dragon Whiskered Grass seed and dripped a drop of juice onto it.

Dragon Whiskered Grass was a high-grade first-grade medicinal herb. It was most suitable for low level martial artists to directly swallow, temper their bones, and strengthen their energy. However, the growth cycle of Dragon Whiskered Grass was slow and difficult to cultivate.

Something that made Xu Feng so excited that his entire body trembled occurred. The Dragon Whiskered Grass seed germinated in a few breaths of time, and it was still growing!

Xu Feng planted the seeds of the Dragon Whiskered Grass in the soil of the herb garden. In the middle of the night, a Dragon Whiskered Grass had completely matured. Moreover, its color was much better compared to other ordinary mature Dragon Whiskered Grass!

"I'm rich! I'm really rich! As long as I have the green juice, won't my herbs be inexhaustible? This bottle should be able to produce green juice, right? "

In these few experiments, there was not much green liquid left in the small bottle. Xu Feng cultivated while verifying his guess.

Another day passed. Xu Feng took out the small bottle that he had not touched for the whole day and found that there were indeed seven or eight more drops of green liquid in the bottle.

"Xu Jing, you want me to die? Didn't you think that not only did I not die, I also obtained such great fortune? Hahaha! The day that I, Xu Feng, will be born is coming!"

Although Xu Feng was wild with joy and excitement, he didn't get carried away by it. Ever since he lost the protection of his parents, the suffering Xu Feng suffered in the family made him develop a cautious personality.

"Martial Arts Third Layer, I must enter the Martial Arts Third Layer as soon as possible. At that time, my status in the family will rise, and I won't be bullied by anyone anymore!"

Xu Feng had been using the Dragon Whiskered Grass to cultivate for the past three to five days. With the aid of the medicinal herbs, Xu Feng's cultivation progress could be said to be terrifying. He kept the Red Holy Fruit that he had obtained. This was an astonishing amount of wealth.

"The first three levels of the martial path are Skin Training, Tendon Training, and Bone Training! Only the third level of Bone Training has been achieved. Talents. Those who have obtained martial arts will truly become martial artists!" Xu Feng's goal was no longer just to defeat Xu Jing and take revenge.

He wanted to rise up and become strong. His father's death, his mother's sudden disappearance, although Xu Feng did not know the whole story and what exactly happened, he knew that there was a huge secret and conspiracy hidden in it.

"Xu Feng, where are you hiding and slacking off again?! Quickly come out and get five stalks of Dragon Whiskered Grass!" Outside the herb garden, a flurry of footsteps could be heard. At the same time, a voice that made Xu Feng hate him to the bone sounded.

It was Xu Jing!
