Before he knew it, another half a month had passed.
In total, Ling Feng had lain in bed for a whole month before he could finally get up and walk.
During this month, it was Ling Kun’s care that allowed Ling Feng to recover. Otherwise, he would have died when he slaughtered the entire Su family.
Although Ling Kun had no blood relation to him, in Ling Feng’s heart, he would always be his grandfather!
After dinner, Ling Feng sat alone on the bed, holding an old, slightly yellowed ancient book in his hands.
On the cover of the book, five characters were written: "Tai Xuan Acupuncture Classic."
The "Tai Xuan Acupuncture Classic" was the life's work of Ling Feng’s biological grandfather.
Over the years, Ling Feng had learned all the medical techniques in it. However, despite reading it thousands of times, he had never discovered the secrets about his own origins hidden within.
"Perhaps, only by combining the upper and lower parts of the 'Tai Xuan Acupuncture Classic' can I unravel the mystery of my origins."
Ling Feng clenched his fists. After the incident with Su Lin, he thoroughly understood that in this world, having medical skills alone was not enough. He must also become powerful!
"Grandfather said that someone will take me to the Wenshan Sect on Jiuxian Mountain tomorrow to become a disciple. I must learn well and then go to the Yan family in Dongdu to retrieve the lower part of the 'Tai Xuan Acupuncture Classic'!"
The Yan family in Dongdu was a powerful force, a significant presence in the entire Tianbai Empire.
With his current abilities, if he were to go to them and try to reason with them, it would be a joke!
Ling Feng flipped through the medical classic in his hands. Although he was already very familiar with the content of the "Tai Xuan Acupuncture Classic," each time he reread it, he felt even more amazed by his biological grandfather’s profound understanding of the human body.
As a doctor, Ling Feng had naturally seen countless other medical classics, but none could compare to this "Tai Xuan Acupuncture Classic."
"If my grandfather had practiced, he might have become a world-class powerhouse!" Ling Feng took a deep breath, a strange thought flashing through his mind.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, Ling Feng flipped to the last page of the "Tai Xuan Acupuncture Classic." The characters, when read vertically, described acupuncture points and medical principles, but when read horizontally, they formed the four characters "book, seal, inside, center."
"Inside the book seal?"
Ling Feng’s pupils slightly contracted. Could there be some hidden secret inside the book seal?
Driven by curiosity, Ling Feng gently pinched the cover of the book, feeling it all over, but found nothing special.
He tried again, with the same result.
"It seems I was being too fanciful."
Ling Feng smiled bitterly. If there was something wrong with the cover, wouldn’t he have noticed it after reading it so many times?
However, as he released the book, he noticed that the five characters "Tai Xuan Acupuncture Classic" emitted a faint light.
"Hmm?"
Ling Feng’s pupils slightly contracted. He used his hand to block the light and was shocked to find a golden page hidden inside the book cover!
Ling Feng took a deep breath and carefully pinched the title on the cover, gently pulling it. The cover indeed lifted a bit.
Another pull, and the cover fully opened, revealing a complete golden page.
"Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique!"
Ling Feng looked at the golden page, where the title "Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique" was written in bold, powerful strokes, like five dragons, making his heart tremble.
"Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique?" Ling Feng took a deep breath and continued reading.
"Only those with the blood of a celestial can practice this supreme divine technique."
"Children of the Heavenly Dao have the Human Dao Eye, the Heavenly Dao Eye, and the Asura Eye. The left eye is the Human Dao Eye, the right eye is the Heavenly Dao Eye, and the third vertical eye is the Asura Eye."
"These three eyes are collectively known as the Celestial Eye."
Ling Feng’s heart was filled with shock and awe as he read the golden page, finding it increasingly unbelievable.
It turned out that on that day, all three eyes had opened, no wonder he had become so weak afterward!
Ling Feng continued reading. The "Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique" recorded the cultivation methods for the Human Dao Eye and the Heavenly Dao Eye.
"The Celestial Eye controls the six qi, condenses divine patterns, and cultivates divine abilities! ..."
Ling Feng, proficient in medical principles, understood the yin-yang, five elements, qi, organs, and meridians of the human body, so reading the "Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique" was not difficult for him. Instead, it felt like he had divine assistance, understanding it immediately.
After about half an hour, Ling Feng had read the thin page several times.
Although it did not mention his origins, it made him understand what the "Celestial Eye" was.
This was not an evil thing that would drive him mad and drain his life, but rather, the negative effects were due to improper use and forced activation.
At least, the Human Dao Eye and the Heavenly Dao Eye did not have those harmful effects.
As for the Asura Eye, Ling Feng was unsure, but he assumed the cultivation method for the Asura Eye was recorded in the second part of the "Tai Xuan Acupuncture Classic."
Ling Feng carefully closed the cover and began to slowly sense the "six qi" as described in the "Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique."
The six qi are Jueyin Wind-Wood, Shaoyin Fire, Taiyin Dampness-Earth, Shaoyang Fire, Yangming Dryness-Metal, and Taiyang Cold-Water.
These six qi correspond to the twelve main meridians in the human body, for example, Jueyin Wind-Wood corresponds to the Liver Meridian of the Foot and the Heart Meridian of the Hand; Shaoyin Fire corresponds to the Heart Meridian of the Hand and the Kidney Meridian of the Foot.
For an ordinary person, this might be confusing, but for Ling Feng, who was proficient in medical principles, it was a piece of cake.
When Ling Feng cultivated the six qi changes of the Human Dao Eye, he felt a slight warmth in his left eye after just one session.
He walked to the mirror and saw a very strange symbol in his left pupil, like the yin-yang fish in the yin-yang taiji diagram, floating alone in his pupil.
Ling Feng’s heart stirred. Was this the "condensing divine patterns, cultivating divine abilities" mentioned in the "Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique?"
The divine pattern was condensed, but what was the divine ability?
According to the "Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique," the first ability of the Human Dao Eye is: absorption and expulsion.
Before Ling Feng could be surprised, he felt his body become a huge vortex, drawing in the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Then, something inside his body seemed to open up, and he felt a sense of comfort.
His pupils slightly contracted, and he felt a trace of true qi appear in his dantian!
Although Ling Feng had never practiced before, he had treated many martial artists.
The appearance of true qi in the dantian is a sign of a martial artist advancing to the Qi Condensation Realm!
In martial cultivation, the first realm is called the Body Tempering Realm. At this level, one is not yet considered a martial artist, but a martial apprentice.
Ordinary people who start practicing from a young age must go through a process of body tempering, often for several years or even decades, to reach the tenth level of Body Tempering before they can draw qi into their body and advance to the Qi Condensation Realm.
And he, who had never practiced, had directly advanced to the Qi Condensation Realm just by opening the Human Dao Eye!
Ling Feng’s hands trembled with excitement. "As long as I activate this first divine pattern, my cultivation speed will skyrocket!"
Suddenly, a feeling of weakness washed over him, and Ling Feng quickly deactivated the divine pattern, calming the chaotic spiritual energy around him.
Ling Feng slowly exhaled, realizing that at his current level, the first divine pattern of the Human Dao Eye could only sustain for about thirty breaths before he started to feel fatigued.
However, thirty breaths a day was more than enough!
Those thirty breaths were equivalent to several years of hard practice for an ordinary person!
After resting for a while, Ling Feng began to condense the first divine pattern of the Heavenly Dao Eye.
According to the "Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique," the first ability of the Heavenly Dao Eye is called: insight and replication.
This means that any technique or martial skill, once demonstrated before the Heavenly Dao Eye, can be thoroughly understood and perfectly replicated.
This was also an almost supernatural ability, and Ling Feng immediately began to condense the first divine pattern of the Heavenly Dao Eye according to the method described in the "Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique."
After a short while, the first divine pattern of the Heavenly Dao Eye was successfully condensed, but unfortunately, he couldn’t test it yet.
After consecutively condensing two divine patterns, Ling Feng was extremely exhausted and finally fell asleep, hugging the "Tai Xuan Acupuncture Classic."
