Chapter 101: Inheritance Secret Canon of the Spirit Square Path

After Cheng Feng and Wang Hu and the other two joined forces to slay that exceptionally ferocious red-scaled giant snake, everyone appeared somewhat exhausted. Wang Hu and the other two, in particular, had quite serious injuries and were in urgent need of timely medical treatment.

Because Cheng Feng had reached the Lian Xue Realm, his own strength was relatively high, so his condition was comparatively better. However, he dared not let his guard down; after all, this was still a place filled with unknown dangers. Facing this situation, Cheng Feng made a prompt decision to have Babai lead the more heavily injured Wang Hu and the others to leave this place first and find a safe location to receive treatment. As for himself, he remained behind to continue exploring this mysterious cave in greater depth.

In this silent and eerie environment, Cheng Feng proceeded with caution, step by step. After a thorough search, he was pleasantly surprised to find that there seemed to be no other potential threats in the vicinity. Thus, he relaxed slightly, yet still maintained a high level of vigilance.

Subsequently, Cheng Feng returned without hesitation to the cave where he had previously obtained the books. He pondered to himself, "Since this place once hid precious items, perhaps there are other treasures nearby?" Holding onto this expectation, he began to carefully look around, not letting any corner that might hide treasure escape his notice.

Cheng Feng moved forward cautiously, each step taken with exceptional steadiness. He carefully observed the surrounding stone walls, searching for any potentially hidden mechanisms or treasures. Before long, he arrived once again at the cave that held the mysterious books.

The light inside the cave was dim, with only faint rays filtering through a few cracks in the stone. Cheng Feng lit a torch, and the firelight illuminated a corner of the cave.

Everything in the cave remained as it was, as if time had never passed. Cheng Feng could not help but feel suspicious; he was unsure if Nie Yuan had visited this place again. After all, he had taken a few books himself, and perhaps Nie Yuan had already sensed something.

With a mix of anticipation and nervousness, Cheng Feng decided to re-examine this place, hoping for new discoveries. Because he was still carrying the Phoenix Warm Jade he had obtained from Nie Yuan, this Jade Pendant might hide a key clue. According to Babai's observation, there were slight friction marks around the Jade Pendant, which very likely hinted at some important secret.

However, after rummaging around, Cheng Feng still found nothing, and a sense of frustration gradually welled up in his heart. Exhausted, he finally sat on that single bed, wanting to rest for a moment. Just then, he suddenly felt that the bed seemed somewhat unusual.

This bed was not the kind of Ordinary object that could be moved at will; it seemed more like it had been carved directly out of the interior of the mountain wall. Cheng Feng grew curious and began to carefully feel around this mysterious stone bed. Hard work pays off; finally, at the head of the bed, he felt a groove that was not easily noticeable.

Cheng Feng did not hesitate to take out the Phoenix Warm Jade and carefully embedded it into that groove. In an instant, a dull sound was heard, and the entire stone bed actually began to move slowly!

There was another compartment here!!!

The surprise in Cheng Feng's heart surged like a tide. He stepped over the stone bed and entered the hidden compartment; the scene before his eyes left him dumbfounded.

Inside the compartment stood huge medicine racks, with herbs scattered sparsely across them. Cheng Feng took a deep breath; he could feel a rich medicinal fragrance permeating the air, and this thick aroma made him feel refreshed and happy.

He continued deeper until he reached that small room. Standing at the front of the room were some spirit tablets, and the three characters "Spirit Square Path" at the very top appeared particularly solemn under the dim light. Cheng Feng could feel an ancient and mysterious aura emanating from these spirit tablets, as if the owners of these tablets were still silently guarding this space.

His gaze was drawn to the box on the tabletop. The box was simple yet exquisite, with some complex runes carved upon it, appearing to be of great age. Dust had accumulated on the tabletop; clearly, no one had touched this box for a long time.

Cheng Feng's heart stirred; could this box be the inheritance of an Alchemist? He approached cautiously and reached out to touch the box. The moment his fingers made contact with the box, he felt a faint vibration coming from it, as if something were resonating with him.

He took a deep breath and then gently opened the box. The moment the lid was opened, a rich medicinal fragrance rushed toward him, invigorating his spirit. Cheng Feng saw two ancient books inside the box, stacked one on top of the other. These ancient books looked very old, the paper yellowed, but the handwriting on them remained clearly visible.

He picked up one of the ancient books and opened the first page. He saw the words "Spirit Method Dao Secret Canon" written there, and below were some introductions regarding herbs and alchemy. Cheng Feng was incredibly excited; he knew he had found a true treasure.

He packed these ancient books away one by one and then closed the box again. Cheng Feng knew these treasures were incomparably precious, and he had to cherish them and use them properly.

Before leaving the small room, Cheng Feng bowed deeply once more to those spirit tablets, expressing his respect and gratitude toward those predecessors.

Looking back on Cheng Feng's journey, the luckiest time was encountering the talking big fish, which led to the news about the silver.

At that time, as an Ordinary person, Cheng Feng was almost eaten by a snake while retrieving the silver.

That naturally started his subsequent life journey.

And now, with this sudden treasure inheritance, perhaps it could allow Cheng Feng to go further.

Cheng Feng left this mysterious compartment filled with joy and anticipation. He knew his path of cultivation would become much smoother because of these precious inheritances.

Cheng Feng had always been conflicted about knowing martial arts but not Medical Skill.

What if something happened? Wouldn't that be a disaster?

If one truly encountered a quack doctor, both the person and the talent would be lost.

Before, he had even thought about whether he could pull some strings and apprentice under a doctor to learn Medical Skill.

As it turned out, he hadn't even obtained any medical books.

Now it was all good: Ghost Doctor Book, Spirit Method Dao Secret Canon.

They were all about saving the sick and treating people.

As long as Cheng Feng studied diligently and gained entry, then the future would be a broad, smooth path.
