Chapter 515

My cousin-uncle was lucky after all; he was beaten half to death, but after my Healing Technique this time, not only were his wounds healed, his own cultivation also advanced as if in a sudden leap!

Wang Ping'an looked at the excited Zhang Chengyong in the distance with surprise and thought to himself:

I just don't know what kind of warrior cultivation he means, what rank it holds among martial cultivations, and what makes it so extraordinary!

The Healing Technique was one of the skills he acquired long ago; because he clearly understood its benefits, when he first obtained it he used it on his own family members without hesitation.

In addition to treating the hidden ailments of his mother, grandfather and grandmother, it could also strengthen their physiques; after prolonged use, he thought it would be hard not to understand this skill.

So.

During the period of excess Merit, in that not‑too‑tense time, he spent exactly one thousand Merit points, boosting the Healing Technique's proficiency to Cultivation.

Since he upgraded the Healing Technique to Cultivation, he has not used it again; after all, the hidden ailments of his family members had long been cured by his prolonged use of the Healing Technique.

Although using the Healing Technique can also strengthen the physique, the skill is ultimately for wound healing, and its physique‑enhancing effect is not very noticeable.

It may still not compare to the effect of eating spirit millet!

Earlier, during the ripening of the first batch of spirit millet, he secretly obtained a batch for the household; he originally thought that, knowing the millet's rarity, his family would be reluctant to eat it but would still have a meal of it every now and then, yet he never expected them to be making millet porridge every single day.

However, they weren't eating it themselves; they were giving it to him.

During this period of growth, he could not only drink milk but also eat millet porridge.

The first time he ate millet porridge made from spirit millet, he personally experienced that a single spoonful unleashed a massive surge of energy within his body, which was absorbed by every cell, becoming energy that strengthened his physique.

After experiencing millet porridge cooked with spirit millet, he recognized its benefits; he thought that when the second harvest of spirit millet came, he would again secretly deliver some to the household. He could not believe that, even with a large amount of spirit millet, his family would still be reluctant to eat it, let alone that he already had many spirit fruit trees beginning to bear fruit.

It wouldn't take long before he could also harvest abundant spirit fruits!

With the dual boost of spirit millet and spirit fruits, the result is obvious: the physique‑enhancing effect will be countless times better than that of the Healing Technique.

Therefore.

Even if the Healing Technique is upgraded to Cultivation, its physique‑enhancing effect is worlds apart from that of a Healing Technique at the proficient or even Mastery level, so he sees no need to use it on his family.

It seems this Cultivation‑level Healing Technique is more powerful than I imagined; shall I find an opportunity to use it on my mother and my grandparents?

Wang Ping'an couldn't help but sigh, and from the corner of his eye saw Zhang Chengyong get up from the ground, approach Xiaobai, and prepare to ride again on its back, but Xiaobai snorted in disdain, turned away, and said:

My Xiaobai really isn't just ordinary pride; if it weren't for my repeated urging just now, it probably wouldn't even agree to carry my cousin-uncle back to Zhang Family Village. Now my cousin-uncle has recovered to his original state—no, not only recovered, but even advanced a level, so naturally it refuses to carry my cousin-uncle again!

Xiaobai is the name he just gave the white lion; regarding Xiaobai's pride, he doesn't pay much attention. A sentient being like Xiaobai inevitably has pride; as long as that pride doesn't work against him, he doesn't even need to flatter Xiaobai.

After all.

Xiaobai is obedient in front of him!

"This is…"

Wang Ping'an watched Xiaobai turn and head back, and as he caught up with their family, unsurprisingly his cousin-uncle also chased after them, first stunned, then recovered, saying: "Indeed, my cousin-uncle has recovered; given his nature, he would naturally continue to escort our family home, fearing we might encounter danger on the road!"

"Wang Lin, Dongzhu, what do you think—this time Chengyong goes back, can my brother heal his wound?"

Zhang Guihua walked along the road home, unable to hide her worry as she said.

Just now Zhang Chengyong was slapped by Ji Nian and sent flying, which frightened her; when she rushed to his side at once and saw his grievously wounded, pitiful state, her heart leapt to her throat; if Chengyong hadn't been able to speak, she might have fainted on the spot.

At that moment, she couldn't even think of resenting Ji Nian, the brute who had inexplicably injured Chengyong; all she cared about was Chengyong's safety, fearing he might meet any misfortune.

At this moment.

With Chengyong being carried back to Zhang Family Village by Xiaobai, her worry deepened.

Wang Lin said seriously, "Guihua, don't you think, our big brother just became the Lion Ridge Mountain God and knows many divine arts; not only could he handle Chengyong being beaten, even if Chengyong only had a breath left—no, even if half his foot stepped onto the Yellow Springs path, I believe big brother still has the ability to save him!"

He said that, but if you look closely, you can still see worry in Wang Lin's eyes.

Liu Dongzhu opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but the words wouldn't come out.

This novel you to

She hoped to think positively about Chengyong, but his condition at the time frightened her; although she wasn't a physician, just by looking she could see Chengyong looked as if his life was near its end.

Her uncle is a Mountain God, but having only just become one, many divine techniques are still beyond his grasp; whether he can rescue Chengyong remains uncertain.

Zhang Guihua worried, "If I had known, we shouldn't have let Chengyong ride Xiaobai alone just now; we should have taken him to the Mountain God Temple."

"It's my fault…"

Wang Lin was about to reflect on his mistake, but before he could finish speaking, the sound of hooves behind him made him instinctively turn his head, and he saw Xiaobai sprinting back, exclaiming in surprise:

"How did you return so quickly?"

"Who came back?"

Zhang Guihua instinctively spoke, turned her head, and saw that the Xiaobai, originally meant to carry Chengyong back to Zhang Family Village, had at some point run to Liu Dongzhu, half‑kneeling on the ground as if inviting Liu Dongzhu to ride on its back, asking in surprise:

"Why did you come back? Weren't you supposed to take Chengyong to Zhang Family Village, preferably to the Mountain God Temple? Could it be…"

Suddenly.

A sudden piece of bad news flashed through Zhang Guihua's mind, making her shiver all over; luckily Wang Lin caught her, preventing her from collapsing, yet her face turned ashen, completely without a hint of color, and she cried out:

"Chengyong, my Chengyong, I'm sorry, your aunt; had I known, had I known I shouldn't have let you take us back, it's my fault that harmed you!"
