Chapter 1872 - 1868: Ways to Accelerate
"Looks like you know about these things, huh, kid? So when you were all confident telling the Qi Family brothers that the Chen Family will definitely be able to destroy the Ming Yan Hall and so on, why weren’t you worried then? Now you’re running over here to complain to me, feeling less confident?"
The old man rolled his eyes at Chen Feng and said in an annoyed tone.
"Sigh, in front of those people from the Chen Family, as the family head, I can’t afford to lose my momentum, right? If I panic, they see it, and they’ll definitely be in a state of panic too. That way, even before the enemy attacks, the Chen Family would collapse first!"
Chen Feng sighed and said with some helplessness.
"Alright, kid, I’ve figured you out. You’re just not born to be a quiet person! This is quite reminiscent of Emperor Tianqi back in the day, no wonder the Tianqi Holy Pearl would choose you!" The old man shook his head helplessly, then looked at Chen Feng and said, "Let me put it this way, in my current state, if I fully recover, it would take about a week, by then I can restore my combat power to the Heavenly Rank Perfection Level. As for the Devouring Sky Python, you’d have to ask it how soon it can recover!"
"A week, right?"
Chen Feng furrowed his brows, nodded thoughtfully, and then said with a bitter smile, "But I guess the Ming Yan Hall might not give me a week!"
"There’s nothing I can do, even though the nature’s spiritual energy in the Tianqi World is quite abundant now, providing a constant supply to nourish my Soul Body, there is still a limit to the speed. A week is my estimated fastest time, I can’t advance it any further. If I have to advance, my strength won’t be restored to the Heavenly Rank Perfection level, I won’t be able to help you at all!"
The old man shook his head, stating helplessly.
"Is there no other method? You, senior, are well-versed, there should be other ways, right?"
Chen Feng asked tentatively.
After all, the old man always managed to come up with some rather miraculous solutions in critical times.
For this reason, Chen Feng was fairly confident and believed that the old man must have some method to recover himself sooner.
After listening to what Chen Feng said.
The old man also shook his head with a smile and said helplessly, "There is, but you might have to pay a price for it!"
"Me?"
Chen Feng was taken aback.
"That’s right, I need to borrow your body, then infuse my Soul Body into your body, taking control of it to absorb the nature’s spiritual energy! This way, I can quickly restore my Soul Body!"
"However, this method has a major downside, it will cause some damage to your body, not lethal, but it will make you extremely painful, especially when I absorb nature’s spiritual energy through your body, your body will instinctively reject this spiritual energy because it wasn’t your own wish to absorb it!"
"Once your body starts to resist and reject, the spiritual energy will wander through your body and damage your various organs, the pain caused by this is extremely severe!"
"So you must think it through. Once you use this method, it’s pretty much like throwing yourself into a mountain of blades or a sea of fire, by the time it’s all over, you probably won’t die, but you’ll be half-dead!"
"Even though you have the Tianqi Holy Pearl, so it won’t kill you, the pain you’ll endure during that time could be excruciatingly painful and unbearable for an ordinary person!"
The old man explained slowly.
"Is there such a method? So you can absorb the nature’s spiritual energy through my body, in that case, how long would it take you to recover?"
Chen Feng pondered for a moment, then asked.
"If it works, it’ll be fast. If all goes well, I should recover by this afternoon!"
The old man replied with a smile.
"That fast! A whole six days ahead?"
Chen Feng exclaimed in shock.
"Of course, by using your body to absorb the nature’s spiritual energy to repair my Soul Body, it’s a very direct process! Whereas the seven days I mentioned before were completely relying on the nature’s spiritual energy to nourish my Soul Body. One is direct absorption, while the other is simply nurturing, aiding in recovery, which do you think is faster?"
The old man nodded and said with a wide smile.
"I see!"
Hearing this, Chen Feng understood the principle behind it, then hesitated for a moment and said to the old man, "In that case, I’m willing to endure the pain. Senior, please use my body to restore your Soul Body!"
Hearing Chen Feng’s words.
The old man was a little surprised, asking, "Kid, I explained so much, did you hear it all? This method will forcibly separate your soul from your body, which is far more painful than anything words can describe!"
"Once it starts, it can’t be stopped, you must wait for me to finish repairing before you can return to normal, basically, you’ll feel like you’ve died once by the end! So you really need to be mentally prepared, if you can’t bear the pain and end up in Deviation or mental breakdown, it would be a fatal blow to the Chen Family!"
"Senior, I understand everything you said, and I can roughly gauge this pain. I just want to ask you one question, will this method hurt my foundation? Will it threaten my life?"
Chen Feng asked tentatively.
"Of course not, it’ll only cause you injury, the foundation won’t be damaged. At most, it will leave you half-alive, but with the Tianqi Holy Pearl, you needn’t worry, it can help you recover!"
The old man shook his head, explaining.
"If that’s the case, then please, senior, use my body, I can bear the pain!"
Chen Feng nodded, speaking with a look of determination.
"You, kid... you really are willing to go all the way! To be honest, I’m quite moved. Although I know you’re eager for me to recover from injury for the sake of the Chen Family, the ultimate beneficiary is still me, so I really have to thank you!"
The old man looked at Chen Feng and said with a smile.
"Senior, saying that is too formal. You’ve helped me many times, even risking your life to do so. What counts as a bit of pain to help you? Please feel free to use my body during this time, my body is entirely at your disposal!"
Chen Feng waved his hand and said.
Then without further ado, Chen Feng sat cross-legged in front of the old man, obviously ready to hand over his body to the old man for control.
