Chapter 346: The Source of Five Elements!
"Damn it!"
Seeing Ling Feng's playful and teasing expression, the despicable donkey stomped its hooves in frustration. "You brat, are you playing with this divine beast on purpose?"
"Calm down," Ling Feng said with a faint smile. "You led me to the Heart Refining Hall. It’s only because of you that I could obtain this Five Elements Heavenly Palace. Your reward is assured."
"Hmph, now you're talking sense."
The despicable donkey crossed its front hooves over its chest, showing a "you finally get it" expression.
Yue Yunlan couldn't recognize the precious Celestial Dao metals either. However, the metal attribute spiritual energy in this space was extremely dense. Given her five-element physique, the pure spiritual energy flowed into her body like rivers converging into the sea, healing most of her internal injuries.
If she could cultivate in such a place, it would greatly benefit her progress and her understanding of the metal attribute essence.
"You brat, what do you plan to give this divine beast? Hey, that, that, and that—keep those for yourself and give me the rest, alright?" The despicable donkey laughed wickedly.
Ling Feng's forehead darkened, and he said helplessly, "Let's first check out the other elemental realms."
At that moment, Zifeng flew off Ling Feng's shoulder and darted towards the palace at the center of the Metal Elemental Realm.
Zifeng didn't enter the palace but soared to its top, where a spherical cluster of light emitted dazzling golden rays and pulsated with a special frequency.
"Master! This is it, the core of this space—the Gold Element Source!"
Zifeng's eyes glowed with intense excitement. Just by being near the Gold Element Source for a moment, its body seemed to gain a golden sheen, and its aura grew stronger.
Ling Feng didn't fully understand what the Gold Element Source meant, but seeing Zifeng's reaction, he knew it was an extraordinary treasure. The existence of this elemental realm was likely due to this Gold Element Source.
Because in the subsequent Wood Elemental Realm, Water Elemental Realm, Fire Elemental Realm...
Each elemental realm had a similar object, probably all sources as Zifeng had mentioned.
"If this Five Elements Heavenly Palace can refine the power of these attribute sources, it might even have the potential to become a celestial artifact!"
The despicable donkey swallowed nervously. Although it had the urge to seize those sources, it knew that damaging them would also destroy the Five Elements Heavenly Palace.
Destroying the source to get the treasure was not a wise choice.
After some time, Zifeng reluctantly flew down from the area around the Gold Element Source. The power of the source was still too immense and terrifying for its small body. Moreover, just by sleeping near the Gold Element Source, Zifeng's strength could naturally increase without needing to risk devouring this source's power.
"Master, I've decided to sleep inside the Five Elements Heavenly Palace from now on whenever I'm free!" Zifeng looked at Ling Feng with hope. Compared to the little bit of spiritual energy Ling Feng's dantian provided, the elemental sources were obviously far more enticing.
"Alright," Ling Feng nodded. Zifeng growing stronger would undoubtedly be a great help to him.
After all, the despicable donkey was often unreliable and far from loyal.
Ling Feng then led the group to explore the subsequent elemental realms. Almost every time they entered a new realm, the despicable donkey drooled excessively, as if its saliva would never run dry.
It's often said women are made of water, but it seemed that this despicable donkey was made of drool!
Finally, Ling Feng led everyone into the palace at the center of the Wood Elemental Realm on the second level. In the Wood Elemental Realm that was filled with wood attribute elemental force, the healing effect was the best.
He hadn't forgotten that Yue Yunlan still had serious injuries, and treating her as soon as possible was the best course of action.
"Hey, you brat, you said you'd share the treasures with me. Have you decided how to divide them yet?" The despicable donkey couldn't help but urge Ling Feng as he focused on treating Yue Yunlan's injuries.
Ling Feng glanced at the despicable donkey, and then threw out the most ordinary bronze storage spirit ring, saying calmly, "You can choose freely from the elemental realms of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, but you can only fill this storage ring. If you take more, you'll get nothing!"
"You brat!" The despicable donkey immediately complained upon seeing the bronze storage spirit ring. "Such a small space! Are you treating me like a beggar? No, this won't do!"
"If you're not satisfied, I can halve it."
"You brat, this divine beast will bite you to death! Woof, woof, woof!"
"I'll halve it again."
"Alright, you win!" The despicable donkey picked up the bronze storage ring and dashed away. "This divine beast will pick all the most precious treasures to make you regret it!"
Ling Feng shook his head and smiled. The materials within the Five Elements Heavenly Palace could regenerate over time. Even the most precious items would eventually reappear, given enough time. Since he now owned the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, there was no need to worry about what the despicable donkey might take.
"Alright, Miss Yue, I'll start your acupuncture treatment now," Ling Feng said as he took out his gold needles and began administering the Profound Art of Acupuncture and Moxibustion to Yue Yunlan.
"Thank you, Mr. Ling."
In one day, Yue Yunlan had been treated twice by Ling Feng. She found it both amusing and frustrating, unsure what kind of fateful connection this was.
After a while, Ling Feng let out a slow breath, retrieved the gold needles, and handed a box of Eight Treasure Jade Essence Ointment to Qiao Qiao, instructing her to apply it to Yue Yunlan's wounds.
Given that Yue Yunlan had numerous injuries this time, including several on her chest, it wasn't appropriate for Ling Feng to apply the ointment himself due to gender differences.
While Qiao Qiao tended to Yue Yunlan's wounds, Ling Feng left the palace, showing no hint of impropriety.
After some time, Qiao Qiao called Ling Feng back inside. By then, Yue Yunlan's internal injuries had fully healed, and her complexion had returned to its usual rosy hue.
"Mr. Ling, I truly don't know how to thank you this time," Yue Yunlan said softly, bowing gracefully to Ling Feng.
"Miss Yue, there's no need to be so formal," Ling Feng replied, helping her up. "Since you accompanied me into the Heart Refining Hall, you also have the right to some of the treasures within the Five Elements Heavenly Palace. Feel free to choose anything that catches your eye."
"There's no need. Since I didn't pass the trial, I don't deserve to claim any rewards," Yue Yunlan said calmly. "However, the six-month period is almost up. Would you accompany me back to the Cangqiong Sect to treat my father?"
"It’s been six months already?" Ling Feng mused, feeling a rush of emotions. Time had indeed flown by; it had been over five months since he returned to the Wenxian Sect from the Cangqiong Sect.
Though it hadn't been a full six months, the presence of the Regenerative Golden Needles meant he could treat the sect leader's injuries and help him restore his vitality once more.
Ling Feng nodded and smiled. "Very well. Since I'm still on vacation, I’ll take this opportunity to visit the Cangqiong Sect and treat your father."
"Thank you, Mr. Ling," Yue Yunlan said joyfully. Recently, her father's condition had been deteriorating again. This wasn't due to Ling Feng's lack of skill but because Yue Zhonglian was burdened with national affairs and couldn't truly relax.
However, with Ling Feng's help, her father's condition would surely stabilize once more.
