Chapter 71: Can't Be Saved!
Seeing that Meng Ran's tone was full of disrespect, Qing Zhan was afraid that Ling Feng would be angry and no longer help the Qing family, so he couldn't help but hurriedly come forward and say, "Mr. Meng, you may have misunderstood. Although Ling Feng Xiaoyou is not an alchemist, he is the person we have been looking for for years - he can use his innate true qi to help others repair their meridians!"
"Oh!" Hearing Qing Zhan's words, Meng Ran suddenly changed his previous disdainful demeanor, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Ling Feng in surprise.
Legend has it that in the Lingwu Continent, there is an extremely special kind of person, and the true qi generated in their bodies can be accepted by everyone, helping others to heal their injuries and repair their meridians. But for many years, Meng Ran has traveled south and north, but he has never seen this kind of person, originally this is just a legend, it is not believable at all, I didn't expect to really meet this kind of strange person today!
Qing Zhan said with a smile: "Now, with the help of the two of you third-grade alchemists, plus Ling Feng's little friend as the leader, today's big thing can be accomplished!"
Meng Ran glanced at Ling Feng respectfully, and said with a smile: "No wonder Patriarch Qing wants to personally invite Brother Ling Feng today, this matter really can't be done without him!"
After all, alchemists can only rely on pills, rely on external forces, and help martial artists from the outside and from the inside. However, Ling Feng can essentially change the meridians and physique of the martial artist, and completely improve the strength of the martial artist in essence. One treats the symptoms, the other cures the root cause, and it is natural to see which is the greatest or lesser help for the warriors.
Ling Feng looked at Meng Ran's appearance of condescension to him lightly, he had always been extremely disgusted with this kind of snobbish, but at this moment, he didn't break it, just looked at Qing Zhan quietly, waiting for him to tell him why he was so laborious.
Qing Zhan stretched out his hand and motioned for several elders to guard the surroundings, and then gently pressed his right hand on a bulge on the right back side of the patriarch's seat, only to hear a "boom", and the originally smooth wall behind him slowly opened, revealing a dark passage about one meter wide.
Ling Feng didn't expect that the Qing family would actually build a secret room under the lobby where guests were often received!
"Three, please follow me!" Qing Zhan beckoned to Ling Feng and the others, and he walked in first. After Ling Feng and the others followed Qing Zhan into the secret passage, a dull "boom" sound came from behind them, and the wall returned to its original state, sealing the entrance.
As soon as he entered the passage, Ling Feng suddenly felt a biting cold air rushing towards his face, but fortunately, Ling Feng's body was extremely strong, and this cold air was nothing to him at all.
Ling Feng followed behind Qing Zhan and walked down the spiraling passage steps step by step. The further down the road became, the stronger the chill became, and the walls on both sides of the passage were covered with ice slag. Even the extremely strong body of him felt a slight tremor all over his body, and it was not until he had put his true qi in his body that he felt a trace of warmth on his body.
It's so cold in here!
After walking for a long time in the biting cold, the four of them came to the end of the passage -- an ice room of only about 20 square meters! The four walls and floor of the entire ice room were made up of huge ice blocks several feet thick, and a trace of white cold air continued to emerge from the ice blocks, and the temperature in the room was extremely low.
In the middle of the room, there is a thousand-year-old ice bed, and an old man is sleeping on it!
That's right, just sleep on it!
Because at this moment, the old man's face was serene, with the almost invisible rise and fall of his chest, a faint breath appeared in his nose from time to time, and the cold air around him quickly condensed into a ball of white gas, and Ling Feng could clearly feel the old man's spiritual power.
Ling Feng could now be sure that the Qing family must have invited him here to treat the old man. For the sake of this old man, he can make the entire Qingjia labor division move the public, it seems that his identity is very unusual!
"Be careful!" As Ling Feng was carefully observing the old man on the thousand-year-old ice bed, a "blazing" warning voice suddenly sounded in his mind, "This old man's strength should be at the peak of the Great Innate realm, he is now in a deep sleep state, and he poses no threat to you." But once he wakes up, there's a good chance he'll find the upside down mark in you!"
"A powerhouse at the peak of the Great Innate Nature?" Ling Feng was shocked.
When did such a strong man appear in the Qing family? Their patriarch Qing Zhan was only a small innate peak powerhouse with a congenital fivefold, and this old man turned out to be a congenital ninefold powerhouse? His strength was much higher than that of the Eastern Jin Dynasty's Saint Xue Hongze, and he was only one step away from breaking through the innate barrier and stepping into a stronger realm of gathering spirits!
Even Ling Feng in his previous life had never seen such a powerful martial artist!
"Qing Zhan will definitely ask you to help wake up this old man in a while. You'd better not wake him up! Otherwise, once he wakes up, it is very likely that he will find the Heaven Turning Mark in your body, if he covets your treasure, my soul power is too weak now, and I can't help you at all, even if you use the 'Heaven and Earth Destroying Palm', it may not be his opponent! At that time, it will be a question of whether you can get out of this secret room alive!" "Blazing" cautiously reminded Ling Feng.
Ling Feng nodded without a trace, he naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to believe in the so-called gratitude of his own kindness, and risk his own surname to save someone who had nothing to do with him.
After all, in the face of huge benefits and temptations, the so-called kindness is not worth mentioning at all!
"Looks like we're going to have to find a way to pretend I can't do anything about it. Ling Feng was thinking in his heart about how to do it so as not to make the other three suspicious.
Just as Ling Feng was thinking about how to deal with Qing Zhan, Qing Zhan walked to the thousand-year-old ice bed, respectfully looked at the old man lying on the bed, and looked excited: "This is the patriarch of the previous generation of our Qing family, and he has been lying here for ten years. ”
"Ten years!" Ling Feng's eyes widened in disbelief. Looking at the old man's ruddy face and flat breathing, Ling Feng originally thought that he was just lying here for a month, but he didn't expect him to lie here for ten years!
Although he knew that a martial artist who had reached the Great Innate Realm could maintain his own consumption by absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, if he didn't eat or drink for up to ten years, his complexion could be so ruddy that he looked as if he had just fallen asleep, which was not something that ordinary Great Innate Martial Artists could do.
Ling Feng was a little confused, what happened to this old man? What kind of person was the person who could actually make him fall into a deep sleep at the peak of the Great Innate Realm? If he could defeat the Great Innate Peak Realm, wouldn't the opponent's strength have already reached the Gathering Spirit Realm?
"I invited you here just to let you, Mr. Xu and Mr. Meng work together to help wake up the previous patriarch of our Qing family!" said to Ling Feng with sincerity in his eyes.
Ling Feng nodded, glanced at the sleeping old man, and turned to Qing Zhan and asked, "Since you want to save people, then ask General Qing to tell me the reason and details of why the old patriarch is sleeping, only in this way can I better help you." Although he was not prepared to save the old man, he still had to pretend to avoid their suspicion.
"Good. Qing Zhan cleared his throat and said, "The old patriarch is a ...... who was forcibly hypnotized by himself."
"Self-forced hypnosis?" Ling Feng was stunned when he heard Qing Zhan's words, "Could it be that I guessed wrong? He didn't damage his meridians by someone, but closed himself off his meridians? But why did he seal himself up on his meridians?"
