"Zhenfei, you nearly scared me to death just now!"
After seeing Wang Quan being carried out by the village ruffians, Zhou Yun finally pulled Ling Zhenfei aside, her face still full of lingering fear.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I know what I'm doing!" Ling Zhenfei comforted her with a smile, speaking calmly.
Although it seemed like he was just trying to scare Wang Quan earlier, in reality, the blade's release of Saber Qi had already severed the functionality of Wang Quan's lower body.
"Sister-in-law, you..." Ling Zhenfei was speaking, but when his gaze inadvertently fell on Zhou Yun, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Ah..."
Just as Ling Zhenfei was staring in shock, Zhou Yun noticed his strange gaze and quickly turned to flee.
Uh...
Ling Zhenfei swallowed with difficulty and soon snapped out of his lapse.
After cursing himself a few times, he pretended to be calm, clearing his throat a few times to compose himself.
"Zhenfei, aren't you working in the city? Why are you back?" Zhou Yun asked as she straightened her clothes.
"Well... I..." Faced with Zhou Yun's question, Zhenfei was at a loss for words.
"What..." Seeing Zhenfei's hesitant expression, Zhou Yun became suspicious, her eyebrows furrowing: "Zhenfei, did you get into a fight again?"
She knew very well about her brother-in-law's tendency to fight and act tough. If she hadn't stopped him earlier, he might have actually killed Wang Quan.
"Sister-in-law, I'm not going to the city anymore; I'll stay here and help you farm!"
After hemming and hawing for a while, Zhenfei decided not to lie and honestly recounted what had happened.
"Sigh..." Zhou Yun looked at him helplessly.
However, upon thoughtful consideration, she felt she couldn't blame her brother-in-law. Defending the weak is a true man's responsibility.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry about me. I'm young and strong; even if I don't go to the city, I can still make money and support the family!"
Not wanting to worry Zhou Yun, Zhenfei quickly took out his earnings from the past few months and handed them to her: "Sister-in-law, trust me. As long as I'm here, I won't let you suffer or live in poverty! I promise you'll live a good life, believe me!"
"Zhenfei... sigh!"
Zhou Yun opened her mouth as if to speak, but in the end, she said nothing and turned to walk into her room with a sigh.
Seeing her back, Zhenfei's eyes grew wet, but his resolve to start a business became even firmer.
He clenched his fists, vowing to himself that he would fulfill his promise and ensure Zhou Yun no longer suffered. He would make sure she lived a good life!
Though this belief was strong, what could quickly earn money?
He had no skills, no experience, and no capital. Starting a business with such "three have-nots" was like a pipe dream!
As Zhenfei lay in bed, tossing and turning over this, a bizarre scene suddenly appeared before him, leaving him speechless.
It turned out that a ray of moonlight shone onto the Jade Pendant on his chest through the window, causing a brilliant light to flow out from the scratches on the pendant.
As the strange light slowly emanated from the pendant, it brightened intensely before converging into a blinding beam of light that entered his eyes and disappeared.
This... what on earth is happening?
Startled by this turn of events, Zhenfei was so shocked that he passed out...
Who knows how long had passed, but when Zhenfei slowly regained consciousness, his previously dull eyes were now gleaming with brilliance.
The miraculous scene had imparted unprecedented knowledge to him: agriculture, martial arts, medical arts, spells... all these profound Mysterious Techniques suddenly filled his mind, as if merging like countless rivers into the sea.
After organizing the various Mysterious Techniques that had flooded his mind, Zhenfei finally made sense of it all.
It turned out that the Jade Pendant left to him by his father was no ordinary item but rather the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow, a Divine Artifact refined by The Ultimate Medicine God from ancient times, containing all the spells and techniques he had learned in his lifetime.
When the Medicine God ascended to the heavens, the Essence Marrow was sealed and lost to the world. Through countless years, it came into the hands of Zhenfei's ancestors, treated as a family heirloom until Zhenfei's generation.
The Essence Marrow remained sealed in the pendant, and unless the pendant was damaged, the seal would never break.
But who could have foreseen that today, when Wang Quan's blade struck the pendant and it absorbed the Power of Moonlight, the Essence Marrow would enter Zhenfei's eyes?
The Essence Marrow, once inside Zhenfei, quickly unblocked his eight extraordinary meridians, refined his eyes, giving him Divine Eyes that could see through everything in the world.
What surprised Zhenfei even more was that his martial arts cultivation, which was initially at the intermediate level of the Xiantian Phase, skyrocketed two levels, skipping the second level of Body Refining and the third level of the Qi Refining Realm, refining the Perspective Divine Eye, and reaching the first level of the Mingmu Realm!
Even more astonishingly, it constructed a mysterious Foreign Land Space within his mind.
This space contained countless Mysterious Gates Secret Manuals and rare Divine Artifacts, which he could use to quickly earn his first pot of gold!
Suddenly realizing this, Zhenfei's worries vanished. He immediately concentrated his mind and entered the Marrow Space.
This space had nine layers in total, and Zhenfei was currently in the first layer, with the remaining eight layers temporarily sealed.
However, even in the first layer alone, the various Mysterious Techniques and Divine Artifacts exceeded his wildest imagination.
Yet, despite their abundance, most of these extensive techniques and treasures were geared toward cultivation and were far too profound for starting a business and making money.
But Zhenfei did not give up. He continued searching and finally found a copy of the "Immortal Herbs Farming and Medical Classic" and a "Xuantian Holy Spring Pot," which he felt suited him well. Without hesitation, he took these two items and exited the space.
As the name suggests, the "Immortal Herbs Farming and Medical Classic" was a Divine Book that combined agriculture and medical arts into one.
The author of this book was unknown, and although its contents seemed abstruse at first glance, Zhenfei could somehow understand and quickly grasp them.
As for the Xuantian Spirit Spring Pot, it was truly a one-of-a-kind object. The Spiritual Spring inside could nourish all things, regenerate tissue, and resurrect the dead—its effects were indescribable!
More remarkably, the Xuantian Spirit Spring Pot seemed no larger than a thumb, yet the Spiritual Spring within seemed inexhaustible, flowing endlessly!
In the first chapter of the "Immortal Herbs Farming and Medical Classic," there was a Secret Technique explaining how to use the Holy Spring from the Xuantian Holy Spring Pot to cultivate the tastiest fruits and vegetables.
