Strongest Medical Saint-Chapter 668: Numb
This enormous blue wooden block was an ancestral relic of the Ye Family from Carefree Valley, which the ancestor had inadvertently acquired within a ruin.
The weight of this blue wooden block was astoundingly heavy, and one needed to be at least at the Middle Stage of Sea Transformation to be able to lift it.
Initially, the Ye Family ancestor felt the extraordinary weight of the block and thought it must be a treasure, or perhaps there was another universe within it, which is why he brought it back to the Ye Family.
Regrettably,
after bringing it back, the Ye Family ancestor could never discern anything special about the block, and even after attempting to destroy it many times, he was unable to do so.
As time passed,
the humiliation of the Ye Family ancestor grew, and in a fit of pique, he threw it into the front courtyard.
Soon after, the Ye Family ancestor passed away, likely from a type of poison contracted within the ruins that he was unaware of.
In memory of that ancestor, the Ye Family left the giant blue block in the front courtyard, where aside from its extraordinary heaviness, no one was able to uncover anything special about it.
This matter was known by many families within Carefree Valley; hence, it was no wonder both the Ye and Yang families couldn’t contain their shock at the block’s reaction now.
Shen Feng, with his palm pressed into the recess, felt that it could automatically absorb the Spiritual Energy within his body. After realizing this, he immediately removed his hand and looked back at the somewhat stunned Ye and Yang family members.
Given the current state of degradation in the Lower Realm, it was reasonable, in Shen Feng’s view, for no one to have deciphered the Formation within the wooden block; discovering the hidden Formation wasn’t something ordinary people could achieve, and even many Array Masters might mistake it for simply a block of extraordinary weight with no other special qualities.
After sensing Shen Feng’s gaze, Ye Chengzhong then recounted the origins of this blue wooden block and added, "Young brother, if you’re interested in this block, I will gift it to you."
"However, could you please allow us to witness you unveiling its secrets? After all, my Ye Family ancestor never figured it out until his death; it would fulfill one of his last wishes."
"Of course, if you find it a burden, just pretend I never said anything. We can step aside for a while."
Shen Feng casually replied, "It was by accident that I caused the change; I’ll try my best!"
He was full of curiosity about the blue wooden block, and Ye Chengzhong’s request was not unreasonable. Just a moment ago, the recess was actively absorbing his body’s Spiritual Energy; with this in mind, he took out a pale blue Lower Grade Spirit Stone from his blood-red ring.
He then placed the pale blue Lower Grade Spirit Stone into the recess on the blue wooden block.
The moment the Lower Grade Spirit Stone was placed,
the Spiritual Energy within the stone was absorbed at an incredibly fast pace, and the entire Spirit Stone eventually disappeared right into the recess.
After witnessing this scene, Shen Feng was almost certain he had guessed correctly; sufficient amounts of Spiritual Energy were needed before the secret of the blue wooden block could be truly unlocked.
Ye Chengzhong, Yang Yuangen, and others beside him, after seeing a Lower Grade Spirit Stone being absorbed and disappearing, couldn’t take their eyes off the scene.
Without hesitation, Shen Feng took out one Lower Grade Spirit Stone after another, after all, he had acquired all the Spirit Stones from a Two-Star Spirit Mine! He now considered himself a nouveau riche!
The pace at which the recess absorbed the Lower Grade Spirit Stones grew faster.
Several minutes later,
the recess had already absorbed more than a thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones, yet the massive blue wooden block still showed no response.
Shen Feng continued to put one Lower Grade Spirit Stone after another into it.
As time swiftly elapsed,
Shen Feng had already placed more than ten thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones into the recess of the blue wooden block.
Ye Chengzhong and Yang Yuangen, as well as others, couldn’t help but hold their breath. They knew that within the current Lower Realm, Spirit Mines were being severely depleted; now, only first-rate powers and top-tier powers possessed their own Spirit Mines to exploit.
Families like theirs weren’t qualified to have their own Spirit Mines; they needed to exchange other cultivation resources to obtain Spirit Stones from other powers.
Moreover, in the current Lower Realm, Upper Grade Spirit Stones simply didn’t exist; the highest quality harvested were merely Middle Grade Spirit Stones.
Within the entire Yang Family, they had a total of just over thirty thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones and over twenty thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones.
The Ye Family was in an even worse state than the Yang Family; they had a total of over twenty thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones and over ten thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones.
Now, seeing Shen Feng continuously placing over ten thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones into the recess, how could they not experience any emotional fluctuations?
However, Shen Feng’s pace of inserting Lower Grade Spirit Stones was also increasing. When he had placed more than twenty thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones into the recess,
Ye Chengzhong and Yang Yuangen and the others increasingly found it hard to control their emotions. Previously, he had taken out a hundred-year lifespan, and now he was using over twenty thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones without even blinking an eye; could he really be from a Lower Plane?
As the people from the Ye Family and the Yang Family silently lamented,
Shen Feng’s hands didn’t stop for a moment; the number of Lower Grade Spirit Stones he put into the azure wooden block’s recess kept increasing.
Over thirty thousand!
Over forty thousand!
Over fifty thousand!
Over sixty thousand!
Over seventy thousand!
When all the Lower Grade Spirit Stones from his blood-red ring had been used up, his eyebrows finally knitted together. This azure wooden block was really too consumptive of Spirit Stones, wasn’t it?
But now that he had already spent over seventy thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones, Shen Feng had no reason to stop.
And so,
he began to take out light green Middle Grade Spirit Stones, one by one.
The onlooking Ye Chengzhong and Yang Yuangen and others watched as the number of consumed Lower Grade Spirit Stones kept increasing, eventually reaching a startling seventy thousand plus! Combined, their two families didn’t even have that many Lower Grade Spirit Stones!
However,
when they saw Shen Feng start to take out Middle Grade Spirit Stones, which were rapidly depleting one after another,
by the time over twenty thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones were consumed, the Ye Family and the Yang Family members present truly felt as if they were gasping for air.
Could this guy really be from a Lower Plane?
If this guy was indeed from a Lower Plane, then were they from a trash heap? Did they even have a reason to live anymore? They had thought that, at the very least, in front of Shen Feng, they would have the advantage of status and position. At the very least, they were born and raised in the Lower Realm and definitely had various cultivation resources that Shen Feng would look up to.
But everything was the complete opposite of what they had imagined.
Previously, he had taken out the priceless hundred-year lifespan from the Lower Realm, and now he was treating tens of thousands of Lower and Middle Grade Spirit Stones as common pebbles, expending them without a care, dealing them a thorough blow.
Watching Shen Feng’s hand that showed no signs of stopping, Ye Chengzhong, Yang Yuangen, and the others were completely numb!
And when over twenty thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones had been used up, with the azure wooden block still showing no reaction, Shen Feng indeed felt an urge to curse loudly. Could it be that even after consuming an entire Two-Star Spirit Mine, he still wouldn’t be able to unlock the secrets of this azure wooden block?
