Chapter 336: Regeneration of Severed Limbs

“Hum!”

The ripples of elemental energy became increasingly apparent, causing the entire tree heart to tremble slightly, as if there was a consciousness attempting to break free from within.

Chen Fei’s gaze flickered, and he kept his eyes fixed on the tree heart. However, after reaching a certain point, the trembling of the tree heart slowly subsided, and the faint consciousness within it gradually quieted down.

“It’s effective, but not enough!”

Chen Fei didn’t feel disappointed; instead, he was somewhat surprised. After all, he had spent over a month trying various methods before with little to no success.

Now, simply using this Summoning Elixir had elicited such a significant response from the tree heart.

From this perspective alone, today could be considered a great success, and the elixir formula he had purchased for ten elemental stones was well worth it.

After opening the windows for ventilation and dispersing the peculiar odor in the room, Chen Fei crossed his legs on the bed and began practicing his cultivation.

Long ago, Chen Fei had abandoned the habit of sleeping. Whether it was day or night, he used all his time for practicing various cultivation or refining elixirs.

Having the interface panel, a divine tool that rewarded effort, Chen Fei naturally didn’t dare to slack off or become complacent.

In both Chen Fei’s previous life and this world, there were many, many hardworking individuals. However, the number of people who could reap rewards from their efforts was exceedingly small.

Sometimes it was because they had chosen the wrong path, so no matter how hard they worked, their efforts were in vain, and they received no returns. Others simply lacked the innate talent to achieve satisfactory results, no matter how hard they tried.

But Chen Fei was different now. As long as he put in the effort, the interface panel would provide positive responses. Chen Fei was like those top-tier geniuses, not only possessing extraordinary insight but also aware of his current position.

He even knew how much more time and effort he needed to reach a certain level.

This constant feedback undoubtedly served as the wellspring of motivation for his efforts, continually flowing and replenishing itself!

The next morning, Chen Fei opened his eyes, exhaled a sigh of relief, and felt the gradually calming comprehension of cultivation in his mind. He looked at the values on the interface panel and a faint smile appeared on his face.

After breakfast, Chen Fei headed to the Alchemist Alliance to check the task list.

Finding no task to refine spirit pills didn’t surprise Chen Fei. After all, he had already learned that the number of commissioned tasks had been cut in half. Those days of having a task every day were gone.

Chen Fei exchanged twenty sets of materials for Summoning Elixir at the alliance and then returned to the courtyard to begin refining the elixir.

It took a full ten hours for Chen Fei to complete the refinement of all these Summoning Elixirs. As Chen Fei had antic.i.p.ated, the proficiency related to Summoning Elixir on the interface panel had already reached the level of great perfection.

However, Chen Fei didn’t immediately pour the Summoning Elixir onto the tree heart. Based on yesterday’s observations, the tree heart hadn’t absorbed all ten portions of the elixir.

Pouring in more now might be a bit excessive.

By estimation, pouring one portion of Summoning Elixir into it every day would be enough to maintain the optimal medicinal effect.

“Hug… hug…”

Chen Defeng’s child, upon seeing him again, began to request a hug. Chen Fei smiled gently and lifted the child with his elemental power. The child stood there stunned.

Just when Chen Fei thought the child was about to cry, the little one burst into loud giggles. Instead of being afraid, the child seemed to thoroughly enjoy this novel experience.

Standing on the sidelines, Lan Yunzhi watched as Chen Fei not only didn’t dislike the child but also played with him. A smile couldn’t help but spread across her face.

In Lan Yunzhi’s eyes, Chen Fei was their family’s greatest support. Being a cultivator at the Aperture Tempering realm at such a young age, his future potential held no surprises.

Even the slightest things that Chen Fei revealed, if applied to her own child, would be a tremendous gain.

As time pa.s.sed day by day, Chen Fei settled in Immortal Cloud City, checking the Alchemist Alliance daily for tasks. If there was a task, he would refine elixirs; if not, he would return to the courtyard to cultivate.

A month pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye, and Chen Fei opened another acupoint. The total number of acupoints reached thirty-four.

Despite receiving far fewer spirit pills than before, the speed at which Chen Fei opened acupoints showed no signs of slowing down.

Whether it was due to his surging mental power or the deepening of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique, when Chen Fei consumed Spirit Snow Pills now, he absorbed much more medicinal power compared to before.

With each Spirit Snow Pill he ingested, the efficiency of absorbing and utilizing the pill’s power reached its peak.

It was precisely because of this that Chen Fei needed fewer Spirit Snow Pills, yet his elemental energy continued to increase. This allowed him to open another acupoint in just one month.

During this month, Immortal Cloud City remained very calm, and even the surrounding areas were exceptionally peaceful. The previous conflicts between the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect and the Divine Flame Sect had gradually become more routine and less intense, but there were still occasional frictions and disputes.

However, with the arrival of the Yu family, even the small-scale conflicts between the two sects disappeared entirely.

But this did not mean that the two sects had let go of their grudges. Instead, it seemed like a calm before the storm. The longer this calm persisted, the more explosive the situation might become when it eventually erupted.

Over the past two months, as the Yu family became more active, their people began venturing beyond the immediate vicinity of Immortal Cloud City, exploring the areas outside the city.

Although this region had weaker elemental energy and was incomparable to the Endless Sea, since they had decided to live here for several years, the Yu family wanted to gain a better understanding of this territory.

As a result, many members of the Yu family ventured outside, hoping to gather valuable information.

With no conflicts to occupy him, Chen Fei naturally focused his attention on cultivation.

In the second month, Chen Fei opened another acupoint, bringing the total number of acupoints to thirty-five.

He was now just one acupoint away from reaching the peak of the Aperture Tempering realm. As he opened more acupoints, Chen Fei began to sense the interconnectedness between them.

To break through to the middle stage of the Aperture Tempering realm, he would need to link all thirty-six acupoints together, merging their power into one. Only then could he break through to the thirty-seventh acupoint. Otherwise, he would remain stagnant at his current level.

It was not uncommon for cultivators to get stuck at this stage, unable to advance. This was especially true for lone cultivators who lacked proper techniques and had not acc.u.mulated enough foundational strength. As a result, their thirty-six acupoints struggled to work in harmony, and their cultivation remained stagnant.

For those within the sect, the situation was somewhat better, but breaking through was by no means simple. Most people needed several years of cultivation and waited for the right opportunity to truly elevate their cultivation realm.

At the same time, the Thousand Threads Technique that Chen Fei had exchanged for two months ago had reached perfection in its sixth layer, and he had started practicing the seventh layer of the technique.

This marked his entry into the later stages of the Thousand Threads Technique cultivation. Apart from his mental power becoming more refined, reaching this stage in the technique had also given Chen Fei’s mental power a new characteristic, or rather, a mental technique.

“Smooth as water, gentle as the highest virtue!”

Chen Fei’s mental power had developed a quality similar to water, a defensive mental technique that responded to force with yielding, emphasizing a defensive aspect.

Alchemists, as a group, were not known for combat skills. Even in the later stages of mastering the sect’s foundational techniques, the mental characteristics acquired were primarily defensive in nature.

Chen Fei’s mental power already had the protection of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique. However, the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique’s protection leaned more towards a dominating and forceful suppression, much like the mighty strength of the physical body.

The Thousand Threads Technique, on the other hand, represented a flexible and water-like form of defense.

Therefore, this new characteristic of the Thousand Threads Technique was far from being redundant; it served as a potent supplement to the protective capabilities of Chen Fei’s mental power. It made his mental power more comprehensive and devoid of weak points.

In addition to the breakthrough in the Thousand Threads Technique, Chen Fei’s long-practiced Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique’s Spirit Suppression had finally advanced from the beginner stage to the mastery stage. With the recent surge in his mental power, the speed of Chen Fei’s cultivation of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique’s Spirit Suppression had increased significantly.

It was clear that to accelerate the cultivation of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique’s Spirit Suppression, the depth of his mental power was a crucial factor.

With the mastery of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique’s Spirit Suppression, Chen Fei’s physical strength naturally rose once again. However, this increase in physical strength was not very significant this time; it was more of an incremental acc.u.mulation.

The most significant change with the mastery of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique’s Spirit Suppression came from something else entirely.

In the courtyard, Chen Fei raised his left hand, and the radiance of the Qianyuan Sword flashed by. A large wound appeared on the back of Chen Fei’s hand, but soon, this wound began to shrink and compress, no longer bleeding.

After a moment, the wound began to heal and even scab over. Chen Fei rubbed his hand gently, and the scab fell off, leaving no trace of the previous wound, not even a scar.

Chen Fei’s body had a rapid rate of recovery from injuries to begin with, and now it seemed to have increased slightly. However, fundamentally, it was entirely different from before.

The mastery of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique’s Spirit Suppression gave Chen Fei the ability of regenerating severed limbs.

For smaller parts like fingers and palms, Chen Fei could make them recover in a relatively short time. If an entire arm was severed and shattered, or even turned into a pulp, it would require a longer duration.

It was difficult to achieve immediate recovery during combat, but afterward, he could fully restore the damaged limb to its original state.

And this was not even the strongest aspect.

The most potent aspect of this regenerative ability was the recovery of internal organs. When his internal organs were ruptured, it no longer rendered Chen Fei combat ineffective; it simply required him to expend vital energy to repair them.

This gave Chen Fei a significant increase in his ability to engage in sustained combat and extreme battles.

Sometimes, in a conflict, the power of one’s techniques was essential, but when your resilience far exceeded that of your opponent, your margin for error would be much higher, and the balance of victory would tilt in your favor.

With the mastery of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique’s Spirit Suppression, Chen Fei’s resilience had increased significantly.

In the third month, the number of acupoints Chen Fei had opened reached thirty-six.

At the moment when these acupoints were opened, Chen Fei felt a clear connection and synergy among all thirty-six of them. For others, acupoint synergy required years of cultivation and the right timing, but for Chen Fei, it was now vividly evident in his perception..
