Chapter 11: Cleansing Marrow and Cutting Tendons

Ye Feng opened the door, reached out his hand, and said to Gu Ran, "Come in."

Gu Ran looked at the three brothers kneeling on the floor scrubbing, then looked at Ye Feng, finding it somewhat difficult to step inside.

These three were truly blocking the way a bit.

Seeing this, Ye Feng glared at the three troublemakers and shouted angrily, "Hurry up and move aside!"

Hearing Ye Feng's anger, the three hurriedly squeezed into the corner, clearing a path for Gu Ran.

Gu Ran smiled and walked up: "Then I shall respectfully obey!"

After Gu Ran walked closer, Ye Feng glared at the three again: "Get lost as soon as you finish cleaning!"

Afterward, Ye Feng closed the door, paying no more attention to the three brothers scrubbing there.

"You sit wherever you like for a moment, I'll go pour you a glass of water."

Looking at Gu Ran standing in the living room at a loss, Ye Feng pointed at the sofa, then walked into the kitchen to take out a new cup and poured her a glass of water.

Taking the water, Gu Ran looked around; although the house was small, the decor was indeed quite cozy.

Ye Feng pointed to the kitchen and asked, "Is there anything you want to eat? I'll go make it for you."

Gu Ran shook her head: "Anything is fine, I'll follow the host's lead."

Ye Feng smiled: "Then I'll make a few of my signature dishes for you to try!"

At this moment, Ye Ling'er suddenly walked out from the inner room. She looked at Gu Ran, then at the smiling Ye Feng, and asked in confusion, "Brother, who is this?"

"A neighbor who just moved in next door. You entertain her, I'm going to cook."

After explaining to Ye Ling'er, Ye Feng walked into the kitchen.

Ye Ling'er looked at Ye Feng suspiciously and didn't say anything more.

About half an hour later, Ye Feng brought out the cooked dishes and set them on the dining table—four dishes and one soup in total, with complete color, aroma, and taste, looking very appetizing.

Ye Feng looked at Ye Ling'er and said, "Ling'er, call Mom out."

Ye Ling'er blinked at Ye Feng, not knowing what she was signaling, then she stood up and walked toward the inner room.

Meanwhile, Gu Ran, who was to the side, just looked at Ye Feng, covered her mouth and smiled lightly, saying nothing.

Ye Feng scratched his head and looked at Ye Ling'er suspiciously; had this little girl cooked up some new scheme for him again?

After the meal, Gu Ran sat for a while longer, then got up and returned to her own home.

After seeing Gu Ran off, Ye Feng had just entered the house when he saw Ye Ling'er's expression full of smiles.

Ye Feng frowned and looked at Ye Ling'er suspiciously; his intuition told him that this little girl must have cooked up some new scheme for him again.

"Brother, did you fall for this big sister!"

Ye Ling'er's words were startling, leaving Ye Feng completely bewildered.

Ye Feng glared at Ye Ling'er and stared angrily: "What nonsense are you spouting!"

Ye Ling'er smiled without a word, just looking straight at Ye Feng with an "I know everything" look.

"Get out, get out, get out!"

Ye Feng waved his hand at Ye Ling'er; this girl was truly both infuriating and amusing.

Just because he invited someone over for a meal, she said he liked her—how could she talk such nonsense!

After chasing Ye Ling'er away, Ye Feng returned to the kitchen to brew a bowl of medicine for Shen Yurou. After watching his mother drink it, Ye Feng returned to his room.

After a simple shower, Ye Feng climbed onto the bed and sat cross-legged. Then, he brought up the *Xuantian Sacred Scripture* and began to circulate his Qi Strength according to the methods within.

Doing this could not only strengthen his physique but also cultivate more Qi Strength; the more Qi Strength, the stronger his power.

It is said that if one cultivates to the legendary Saint realm, one can tread on the void and move mountains and drain seas!

However, he still didn't quite believe that the human body alone could reach that point; after all, as a university student of the new era, he still believed in science.

Still, there was no harm in cultivating this way. Today, he had truly consumed too much Qi Strength; if he didn't hurry to recover, it might affect his lifespan.

After simply circulating one Great Circulation, Ye Feng wiped away his sweat; at this moment, he felt his whole body was full of strength!

However, he always felt that there was still a barrier in his body. If he could break that barrier, the *Xuantian Sacred Scripture* he was cultivating could advance from the first chapter, "Cleansing Marrow and Cutting Tendons," to the second chapter, "Rebirth from Shedding the Mortal Body"!

By then, the Qi Strength in his body should be able to rise to another level, and perhaps he would be able to use the complete Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles!

No sooner said than done, Ye Feng ignored the sweat on his body and began circulating the *Xuantian Sacred Scripture* again. When he reached the third Great Circulation, the expression on his face gradually changed from calm to painful, and he would occasionally let out painful groans.

When he reached the sixth Great Circulation, the painful expression on his face intensified, and various black, foul-smelling liquids were gradually expelled from his skin.

When the seventh Great Circulation ended, Ye Feng finally couldn't help but collapse onto the bed. He kept his eyes tightly shut, the painful expression on his face refusing to fade.

At this moment, if he could open his eyes, he would discover that countless white gases were surging into his body from all around, improving his physique.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Ye Feng held his head and sat up wearily.

He rubbed his shoulders, stretched his body, and looked around in a daze. At this time, it was still pitch black outside the window, and the night was terrifyingly quiet.

Suddenly, a disgusting, fishy stench entered Ye Feng's nose. He turned on the light to look, and when he saw his pitch-black body, he was directly given a fright.

Ye Feng hurriedly covered his nose and rushed into the bathroom.

Right now, he only wanted to hurry up and wash these dirty things off!

After about an hour, Ye Feng walked out of the bathroom, wrapped in a bath towel and drying his hair.

One had to say, these dirty things were truly hard to wash off!

Ye Feng scrubbed for over forty minutes and used body wash five or six times before he barely managed to get clean.

Even so, if one leaned in to smell, one could still catch a faint, lingering fishy stench on Ye Feng's body.

After drying off, Ye Feng moved his body around; at this moment, he felt light as a feather, and his whole body was filled with power.

Right now, even if ten burly men came, he had the confidence to easily knock them down!

Looking out the window, it was misty outside.

Ye Feng put on his clothes; he no longer felt sleepy. It would be better to take this opportunity to go out for some exercise and buy some breakfast—wouldn't that be pleasant!

Walking out the door, Ye Feng shivered; at this time, the sky was just barely beginning to brighten, and there was basically no one outside.

Ye Feng glanced at the time, then put away his phone and ran straight toward the outside of the residential complex.

Unknowingly, Ye Feng had already been running for over half an hour, but strangely, he did not feel a hint of fatigue, and his body was still full of strength.

Even so, Ye Feng was no longer in the mood to keep running; he found a random breakfast stall and bought some breakfast, but just as he was about to leave, a faint, indistinct scream reached his ears.
