After Lin Feng was severely injured and fell unconscious, Liu Yan was frantic with worry. Looking at Lin Feng lying pale and breathing weakly on the bed, her heart was filled with anxiety and concern.
Without a moment of rest, Liu Yan first ran all over Qingyun Town searching for various precious herbs. Returning home, ignoring her exhaustion, she immediately set about brewing medicinal soup. A thick fragrance of medicine filled the room, but Liu Yan's brow remained tightly knitted. She knew very well that these ordinary herbs could only temporarily stabilize Lin Feng's injuries; a much more effective method was needed for him to truly recover.
Liu Yan recalled a secret healing technique she had once seen in an ancient book, which required using one's own internal energy as a guide to help the injured person clear their meridians and repair damaged internal organs. However, this method carried extremely high risks. If the internal energy was improperly controlled, not only would it fail to heal, but it could also cause even more severe harm to the injured person.
Yet, Liu Yan did not hesitate for a moment. She sat by Lin Feng's bedside, gently placed her hands against his back, and slowly channeled her internal energy into his body.
At first, everything went relatively smoothly. Liu Yan carefully controlled the flow of her internal energy, steering clear of Lin Feng's severely damaged meridians. But as time passed, beads of sweat the size of soybeans began to break out on her forehead, and her face grew increasingly pale. The prolonged output of internal energy was placing an enormous strain on her body.
Just as Liu Yan was about to reach her limit, Lin Feng's body suddenly put up a fierce resistance. A powerful force rebounded her internal energy, and she was instantly knocked to the ground.
"Cough, cough..." Liu Yan spat out a mouthful of blood, but she paid no heed to her own injuries, struggling to her feet to try healing Lin Feng once again.
This time, she was even more cautious, constantly adjusting the strength and direction of her internal energy. Finally, through her efforts, the internal energy within Lin Feng's body began to gradually calm down, and his damaged meridians slowly started to repair themselves.
After several hours of arduous effort, Liu Yan finally completed the healing process. She collapsed exhaustedly onto the floor, gasping heavily for breath.
At this moment, although Lin Feng's injuries had not yet fully healed, his breathing had grown much steadier.
In the days that followed, Liu Yan brewed medicine and administered healing treatments for Lin Feng every single day. Under her meticulous care, Lin Feng's injuries improved day by day.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng's consciousness remained plunged into chaos while he was unconscious. He felt as though he were trapped in a dark space, surrounded by thick fog that left him unable to find his direction.
"I cannot fall here like this; I still have an unfinished mission!" Lin Feng shouted inwardly.
At that moment, the voice of the System sounded once again: "Host, this injury is an opportunity. If you can endure it, you will achieve a major breakthrough. But the process will be extremely difficult and requires you to have firm willpower and strong belief."
Hearing the System's words, a glimmer of hope ignited in Lin Feng's heart. He began to concentrate his mind, striving to break through the shackles of this darkness.
Deep within his subconscious, Lin Feng continuously fought against his pain and hardships. Every single shockwave caused him incomparable agony, but he never gave up.
Finally, after countless attempts, Lin Feng's consciousness broke through the blockade of darkness. He felt a warm surge of energy pour into his body, and under the nourishment of this force, his damaged meridians and internal organs rapidly recovered.
Lin Feng's aura grew increasingly powerful, and his cultivation realm began to break through unawares.
Seventh Layer of Martial Warrior Realm... Eighth Layer of Martial Warrior Realm...
It wasn't until the Ninth Layer of Martial Warrior Realm that the momentum of the breakthrough finally began to subside.
When Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes and saw Liu Yan sleeping exhaustively by the bedside, his heart was filled with deep emotion and guilt.
"Liu Yan, thank you," Lin Feng said softly.
Liu Yan was startled awake by Lin Feng's voice, and seeing that he had come to, she wept with joy: "Big Brother Lin, you're finally awake! I was so worried about you."
Lin Feng clasped Liu Yan's hand: "I only managed to pull through thanks to you."
Having weathered this ordeal, the bond between Lin Feng and Liu Yan grew even deeper, and their determination to forge ahead on the path of martial arts became all the more unwavering.
