The Invincible Strongest Student

Lin Tian mimicked Zhao Qingtang’s earlier playful wink and asked with a smile, "If I tell you, will you let me go out for some fresh air?"

Zhao Qingtang placed her hands on her chest and nodded, "Of course, but you can’t trick me; the result must be satisfactory."

"You won’t cheat again, will you?"

"Do you really think I would cheat?" Zhao Qingtang widened her eyes, looking at Lin Tian as if he were a heartless man.

"..." Lin Tian wanted to shout at her: "I’m the one feeling wronged! You’re such a drama queen!"

But meeting Zhao Qingtang’s gaze, Lin Tian swallowed his words. It wasn’t that he feared her, just that her care these days had been so meticulous that Lin Tian quite enjoyed this feeling. He wouldn’t oppose her if he could follow along.

This would have been impossible before. Thinking back to their first meeting at Zhao Xuefeng’s house, neither could stand the other. Lin Tian even slapped several times on her plump, firm rear, and he remembers that feeling vividly to this day.

Then came the Healer’s Summit, where Lin Tian’s assertive attitude forced Zhao Qingtang to change a well-prepared presentation topic, although things ended well. But Lin Tian feels like this girl’s current strong demeanor is somewhat reminiscent of how he was back then.

Revenge! It must be revenge!

Speaking of their current relationship, it’s no longer a burning fire but rather as if they have become very important friends.

After being lost in thought for a few seconds, Lin Tian snapped back to reality and smiled, "The fact that I recovered so quickly is mainly thanks to you. Without you, I might still be unconscious right now."

Upon hearing this half-true statement, Zhao Qingtang snorted and said disdainfully, "Stop flattering me to mislead me. I know very well the effects of the prescriptions I wrote. I’m not satisfied with your explanation!"

Lin Tian shrugged and said with a bitter smile, "Alright, I can only tell you the truth. It’s primarily because my body’s self-healing ability is strong. Through your gentle prescriptions and acupuncture these days, many of my meridians have recovered well, and after a night’s self-healing, I’m almost completely better."

This was definitely the absolute truth.

Three days ago, circulating spiritual qi was difficult, allowing for only limited flow within the body. But now, it’s almost time to start nourishing the internal organs.

Zhao Qingtang gaped in astonishment. She really didn’t expect Lin Tian to use such a lame excuse. It was simply... too hard to believe! What kind of person could have such a perverse self-healing ability?

"Don’t believe it?"

"Don’t believe it!"

"This is Luoyan Dock. Your teacher must have told you something, right? Everyone here practices martial arts and has cultivated the inner strength described in novels. They can even heal themselves with certain cultivation techniques. Surely you can believe that now?"

Zhao Qingtang stared at Lin Tian like he was some kind of monster and asked, "Are you... like them too?"

Lin Tian nodded with a smile, "This is Luoyan Dock. If I weren’t like them, why would I come here when injured? And haven’t you noticed these past few days, those old men constantly coming here, calling me brother even though they’re old enough to be my grandpa? And the elixirs they bring are all for cultivation."

Hearing this explanation, Zhao Qingtang reluctantly understood. To her, cultivators are merely stronger with better energy and spirit, nothing too significant.

"Can I go out for fresh air now?" Lin Tian asked with a smile, then straightened his chest and arrogantly declared, "If you’re still worried, you can feel it for yourself. I guarantee it’s firm and perfectly fine!"

Seeing Lin Tian’s puffed chest, Zhao Qingtang burst into laughter, but she quickly put on a stern face and glared at Lin Tian, "Pervert!"

...

Lin Tian was staying in a small courtyard for recuperation, with the door facing south. Apart from rows of green bamboo in the yard, there were also many medicine racks, allowing for the fragrance of herbs to be smelled even without stepping out of the room.

The scent of herbal medicine exuded the fresh fragrance of nature, completely different from the pungent smell of disinfectant in hospitals.

Additionally, there were four rooms in the courtyard: one for Lin Tian, while the others were Xu Xianrong’s and Jiang Pan Die’s residences.

Xu Xianrong had woken up long ago but was physically weak. She had visited Lin Tian twice, using most of her time secluded in her room, presumably for healing.

Her injuries, like Lin Tian’s earlier, were a backlash of qi and blood. When she came to see Lin Tian, he suggested she use his previous method, using the Bone Marrow Cleansing Elixir to expel the corpse powder of the Gu insects from her body. Lin Tian even generously offered to cover all the costs of the elixirs himself.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xianrong scoffed at his proposal, "Your method is both foolish and wasteful of elixirs. I have my own ingenious plan."

Having hit a wall with her, Lin Tian could only roll his eyes and do nothing else.

He was also curious about the ingenious plan this "sage" came up with, but since Xu Xianrong wouldn’t say a word, Lin Tian had no choice but to let it go.

...

With Zhao Qingtang’s support, Lin Tian slowly walked out of the room.

In fact, as long as he didn’t engage in strenuous activities, he could even walk briskly without much issue; he wasn’t so weak as to need support, but Zhao Qingtang insisted, so Lin Tian let her have her way.

Standing at his room’s entrance, Lin Tian faced the room where Xu Xianrong had been staying these days. Recalling her words ’I have my own ingenious plan,’ Lin Tian’s curiosity surged in waves like an endless river flowing.

Not sneaking a peek would leave him unsettled.

So, Lin Tian slightly squinted his eyes, enabling his clairvoyant vision, and looked through the door and window to see inside the room.

He saw a voluptuous and slender woman sitting cross-legged on the bed, stark naked. The unsheathed Thousand Cyan Threads lay across her knees, the blade emitting a cyan light that continuously flowed into Xu Xianrong’s body, forcibly expelling impurities.

Ssss~

Lin Tian instinctively drew a breath of cool air and blinked, quickly shutting off his clairvoyant vision. However, that impeccable image of her figure was still engraved in his mind, refusing to disperse!

Lin Tian swore to the heavens, he absolutely didn’t mean to peep; it was all a coincidence!

Luckily, Xu Xianrong was oblivious to all this, or else, regardless of whether it was a coincidence, she would undoubtedly storm over with the Thousand Cyan Threads, perhaps at least gouging out Lin Tian’s eyes.

Aside from that unforgettable image, Lin Tian was deeply intrigued by the Thousand Cyan Threads. It managed to emit cyan light to expel the Gu insects’ corpse powder from the body.

Bear in mind, Lin Tian had previously used nearly a hundred and fifty Bone Marrow Cleansing Elixirs to expel those clingy impurities. That Thousand Cyan Threads was truly magical!
