Invincible Kungfu Healer

Mo Wen glanced at the other two "eggs". Yin Banshuang and Jin Ying were obviously still refining the Vital Qi. The two of them were just normal ancient martial art practitioners and did not know the spiritual rhymed formula of the immortal cultivators. Hence, it was impossible for them to be as fast as Mo Wen.

Although Mo Wen had started refining after them and his total amount of Vital Qi was far more than theirs, he had still finished refining before they did.

He looked at the surroundings. The huge garden was barren. In the distance, there was a palace building. Who knew how many secrets were hidden in there? However, he did not dare to simply go over and investigate. It was because he knew that this sort of place could well be somewhere he was likely to die. Even some immortal cultivators would not dare enter a palace such as this, let alone an ancient martial art practitioner like him.

Luckily, there were no problems around the pool and he did not need to be cautious as he strolled around.

"Huh?" Mo Wen discovered that the hole that the spider Puppet Monster had climbed out of was actually very deep. He could not see the bottom as he glanced down.

"Is this a passageway?" A doubtful look flashed in his eyes. There seemed to be a passageway at the bottom of the hole, extending far down. Who knew where it led?

Mo Wen hesitated for a moment. Seeing as both Yin Banshuang and Jin Ying would not awaken anytime soon, he carefully leaped into the hole, slowly walking deeper into the depths of the passageway.

It was very dark inside, but that did not affect Mo Wen. After walking some distance downwards, he discovered there was light inside. The light was very weak, but in the darkness, it was exceptionally bright.

"What is that?" A look of amazement flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. On the ground in the middle of the passageway was an item that emitted light. He carefully picked up and discovered that it was a feather. It was very beautiful and crimson gold, like the tail feather of a phoenix. He had just grasped the pretty tail feather in his hands when it sent a warm aura flowing into his body. It was very comfortable.

"What is this thing?" Mo Wen narrowed his eyes slightly. His intuition told him that this was no ordinary tail feather. But exactly what was special about it, he could not tell.

Mo Wen looked at the tail feather in his hand, and then looked at the deep passageway. He hesitated for a moment and did not continue forward. There were dangerous traps hidden everywhere. Simply walking around would very likely cause him to be in danger.

He flew out of the hole. Yin Banshuang and Jin Ying were still practicing. Mo Wen looked at the crimson gold tail feather in his hand. He touched his chin as he got lost in his thoughts.

After who knew how long, he suddenly discovered something bizarre. The Vital Qi that was floating in mid-air was actually moving bit by bit. All of it seemed to be coalescing with the crimson gold tail feather as its center.

After a short while, the Vital Qi flew through the air in front of Mo Wen, surrounding the crimson gold tail feather and slowly circling it.

"Could it be?" A strange look flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. His gaze was fixed on the tail feather in his hand. Could it be that the reason why all the Vital Qi coalesced in mid-air was related to this crimson gold tail feather?

An item that could coalesce Vital Qi was a most precious treasure! In the Immortal Cultivation world, it was definitely something people would be fighting over.

Only the mighty who were full of talent could use their own bodies' cultivation to coalesce Vital Qi. Aside from that, there were only a few magical items that had such an ability. But these items were too few and were extremely rare.

Mo Wen had previously wondered whether the Vital Qi coalescing over the pool was related to any divine items. He never imagined that his assumption was actually true.

Did it mean that in the future, as long as he carried the crimson gold tail feather on his person, he would be able to endlessly gather Vital Qi?

Merely thinking about it made Mo Wen feel as though he was in a dream. Right now, he had absorbed Vital Qi once and would be unable to absorb any more for some period of time. In around six months though, when his body had completely adapted to the restructuring caused by the Vital Qi, he could absorb it again.

If an ancient martial art practitioner could endlessly use Vital Qi to be reborn, he would finally naturally develop spiritual roots. The possibility of him becoming immortal then would be very high.

The hand in which Mo Wen held the crimson gold tail feather trembled slightly. He could not believe he had actually ended up owning such a thing.

His surprise increased when the Vital Qi surrounding the crimson gold tail feather actually entered it. It gushed in and quickly completely disappeared. It was as though the Vital Qi had been consumed by the crimson gold tail feather.

"What's the matter?" The corner of Mo Wen's mouth twitched when he discovered that none of the Vital Qi was left. Could it be that the magical tail feather was snatching the Vital Qi from him?

Before Mo Wen could think any more deeply about it, the crimson gold tail feather suddenly released a crimson gold glow and became hotter and hotter. It was like a burning piece of coal. Before Mo Wen could react, a bizarre power gushed into his body. A loud bang sounded in his mind, and he was directly plunged into darkness.

After who knew how long, Mo Wen shook his head and slowly crawled up from the ground. In his mind, new pieces of information suddenly appeared. A large mess of things had appeared in his mind out of nowhere.

"Inferno Star Lord? What is that?" Mo Wen shook his head, trying to follow the new information in his mind. Inferno Star Lord… Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan… an emperor…

The mess of information was all mixed together. It took a long while before Mo Wen was able to sift through it bit by bit. The more he managed to see, the less he understood. The information was choppy and he was unable to connect the different strands together.

He only knew that the master of the palace in this mysterious space was a fellow called the Inferno Star Lord. He seemed to have been an incredible figure in ancient times. He was known as the Emperor and was worshipped by tens of thousands.

Later, due to unknown reasons, he fell and his palace was destroyed. A strong practitioner of a generation had been lost to the flow of history just like that.

"Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan?" Mo Wen looked twice at the crimson gold tail feather in his hand. This thing had previously been called the Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan. It was the most precious treasure that the Inferno Star Lord carried with him. However, this tail feather was just a seventh of the Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan. The fan was made from the tail feathers of seven different bird type giant monstrous beasts. It had earth-shaking power.

The crimson gold tail feather in Mo Wen's hand was just a seventh of the Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan. Obviously, the mysterious fan had been completely separated into pieces.

What had completely dumbfounded Mo Wen was that the information revealed that only by obtaining the completed Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan could he receive the inheritance of the Inferno Star Lord.

Mo Wen was not too interested in the inheritance of the Inferno Star Lord. However, he was very interested in the Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan. A single tail feather already had the ability to coalesce Vital Qi. If it was a completed Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan, how magnificent would that be?

Unfortunately, this mission was one that he was destined to be unable to accomplish. After tens of thousands of years, the original Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan had long disintegrated. Being able to find one tail feather was pure luck. Finding all seven without any clues was almost an impossible feat.

Hence, the information that the crimson gold tail feather had given him was mostly useless. However, there was a point that made Mo Wen very happy. The Vital Qi that had seeped into the crimson gold tail feather had not been consumed by the tail feather but rather stored in it. If he knew how he could draw out the Vital Qi from inside. Also, the Vital Qi that was gathered by the crimson gold tail feather in the future would also be stored in it.

The reason why the Vital Qi floated in midair and coalesced into a cloud was that the crimson gold tail feather was buried in the passageway, preventing the Vital Qi from coming in contact with it. Therefore, it had coalesced into a cloud in such a fashion and had fortunately been discovered by Yin Banshuang.

However, very few things could block Vital Qi. It was impossible for normal earth to prevent the Vital Qi from coming in contact with the tail feather. For such a situation to occur, there the passageway must be abnormal in some way. Realizing this, Mo Wen secretly felt relieved that his curiosity had not meant he had ventured deep into the passageway.

After another four hours, a golden light lit up. One of the other golden eggs suddenly cracked, and a tall slender figure emerged from the colorful light. It was the mysterious Jin Ying.

The current Jin Ying had obviously undergone a tremendous change in ability. She subconsciously emanated a majestic aura. She slightly lifted her sharp chin, her gaze seemingly now even colder.

Mo Wen could sense that her cultivation had broken through to the intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm and was closely approaching the later stage Golden Elixir realm. Of those known in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, her cultivation would be equivalent to those at the pinnacle.

Also, he knew that Jing Yi had not just changed in terms of cultivation. Her body had also undergone a metamorphosis. After being reborn, her flesh was not only stronger, her future practice would also be much faster, far exceeding those of normal ancient martial art practitioners.

Her cultivation was secondary. With Jin Ying's talent, she would have eventually arrived at this level. The rebirth was different. This metamorphosis would most probably raise her achievements to a new level. This was the reason why the Vital Qi was so attractive.

After all, it was a piece of heaven and earth that even immortal cultivators found it hard to come across. For ancient martial art practitioners to enjoy it, its effects naturally would not need further explanation.

"You have refined the Vital Qi?" Jin Ying had just emerged from the shell when she immediately noticed Mo Wen standing nearby with his hands behind his back. She had a slightly stunned expression. By right, she should be the fastest to refine the Vital Qi. After all, her cultivation was the highest among them and she also knew some secret techniques that could accelerate the speed of refining.

Mo Wen was clearly behind her and Yan Banshuang. How could he emerge before them? Could it be that he had not yet begun refining Vital Qi?

Jin Ying subconsciously looked up, but she discovered that the space above her was now empty. There was no sign of the Vital Qi at all.

"Where is the Vital Qi?" Jin Ying's expression changed slightly. She looked furiously at Mo Wen. She and Yin Banshuang had both collectively only absorbed less than a tenth of the total volume of the Vital Qi cloud. Where had so much Vital Qi gone off to?

Could it be that Mo We alone had absorbed all of it? That was impossible!

She was very certain that Mo Wen did not have the ability to do so. She had personally tried it. The energy of the Vital Qi was too rich to allow a large quantity to be absorbed, as both she and Yin Banshuang clearly understood. A Martial Arts Grandmaster would not necessarily be able to absorb even half of the Vital Qi, let alone Mo Wen. Only the immortal cultivators of legend could possibly completely refine such a Vital Qi cloud.

"Vital Qi is born of heaven and earth. Hence, it naturally has its reasons for forming. You both touched the Vital Qi cloud, which destroyed its previous equilibrium. The Vital Qi cloud would then gradually disperse on its own," Mo Wen said plainly.

Of course, he would not be so foolish as to reveal what actually happened. Also, he could not say that the rest of the Vital Qi was on him. Otherwise, if the news got out, he would never have a moment's peace.

"It dispersed on its own?" Jin Ying looked suspiciously at Mo Wen, not believing his words. She probingly asked, " Do you have a method to store Vital Qi?"

Since Mo Wen could not possibly have absorbed all of the Vital Qi, it was most likely that he stored it all away. Otherwise, how could a mass of Vital Qi just disappear like that?

"Even immortal cultivators wouldn't necessarily be able to store the Vital Qi cloud, do you think that I can? If you think just anyone can do it, that just shows your ignorance. If you have any doubts, why don't you read up some of the related manuscripts or ask your elders?" Mo Wen said expressionlessly with his hands behind his back.

If he did not have the crimson gold tail feather, it would have been impossible for him to have stored the Vital Qi. Even an immortal cultivator would not have any means to store it, let alone him.

Jin Ying looked suspiciously at Mo Wen. She felt what Mo Wen said could not be trusted but she was not completely certain. After all, before this, she had indeed tried countless methods but had been unable to store the Vital Qi in any container. The Vital Qi was indeed not an easy thing to store. But that did not eliminate the possibility that Mo Wen had special means to do so. However, this was all speculation. Without concrete evidence, she had better not continue questioning him further.

After all, she had absorbed enough Vital Qi. In her current state, it would be another three or four years before she could absorb any more of it.

"Your abilities have undergone such a huge change. I am sure your cultivation has vastly improved as well." Jin Ying reviewed Mo Wen from top to bottom. Then, she suddenly smiled, seemingly putting what they had just talked about to the back of her mind.

"Aren't you the same? Even if the current you goes up against a later stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner, you would probably be able to put up a fight," Mo Wen said with a faint smile.

Jin Ying had already been very powerful. Her martial arts teachings and treasures were really complex and high-level. Right now, she also had such high cultivation. Even if she encountered a few later stage Golden Elixir realm strong practitioners, she would most likely not be at a disadvantage.

"I am very curious. How is it that you managed to refine the Vital Qi before me?" Jin Ying stared into Mo Wen's eyes. Even disregarding the disappearance of the Vital Qi cloud, the fact that Mo Wen had managed to finish refining the Vital Qi cloud before her was very strange. After all, Mo Wen had still been treating his injuries, so should have begun refining the Vital Qi much later than they did. However, he had finished doing so before them.

"It is because my cultivation is not as high as yours. The amount of Vital Qi I absorbed was also less than yours so it was much easier for me to refine it," Mo Wen said with a fake smile.

"I know many interesting young people. But in terms of mysteriousness, you are ranked first." Jin Ying looked deeply at Mo Wen. There was no chance she believed what Mo Wen said. The example of Yin Banshuang showed he must be lying. Yin Banshuang had begun refining Vital Qi before Jin Ying and had absorbed less Vital Qi than her. Yet she was still refining the Vital Qi.

"That is my honor." Mo Wen smiled.

"If my assumptions aren't wrong, you should be very interested in the spiritual fire, right? How about we cooperate? I can tell you responsibly, snatching the spiritual fire is definitely not easy. Alone, you definitely have no chance. I will also honestly tell you that behind me are a few more people. They are the main force coming to try and take the spiritual fire this time. Only by following me will you have a small chance of obtaining it."

The corners of Jin Ying's mouth curled up proudly. This time, coming with Pei Fengwu and the other three to the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension was just a guise. In reality, the faction behind her had already sent people to support her in secret.
