Chapter 381 - The Inner Core

Chapter 381 The Inner Core

Zisha was very lively and energetic before, but now as an expectant mother who was going to deliver a baby, she knitted her brows slightly with a pale look and clawed at the sheet tightly with two hands.

Nobody could suffer the pain of delivery for a pregnant woman. So, Wang Feng had no way to help her when seeing that she was so painful.

Gently stroking her face with his palm, Wang Feng said, “Don’t be nervous. We will always accompany you by your side.”

“Well… Highly-skilled doctor, she is going to deliver her baby, so could you ask these people out first?” Now a woman doctor in a white coat said, apparently feeling difficult to handle this.

It was a VIP patient room, so the medical instruments were well-equipped here. The delivery could be finished here without the use of the operating room.

“No problem.” It was impossible and unacceptable for such a large group of people to gather here and to watch one woman deliver her child, so after hearing what the doctor said, Wang Feng directly turned around to others and said, “Let’s wait outside.”

“Darling, please don’t leave.” As Wang Feng was about to go out of the patient room with others, Zisha held his hand all of a sudden.

“I will never leave you. I will wait for you outside the door.” Wang Feng said with a gentle face.

“No way. If you don’t stay here, I will not do it.” Zisha said, pouting her lips at once.

He made an expression to the doctor, showing that he could not help her. Finally, these doctors nodded their heads, so Wang Feng was not stubborn and voluntarily stayed here with Zisha, waiting for her delivery.

Male doctors could be present when ordinary women delivered their babies, while Zisha was different since her doctors who stayed here today were all female, and the only man in this room was Wang Feng.

Using his X-ray vision, Wang Feng found Zisha and her baby were both safe. The baby was in a correct position, and he was almost the same size as Youran used to be when she was born.

The process of delivery ended with the painful cry of Zisha. Holding his son who weighed only several kilograms in his arms, Wang Feng also showed a smile on his face.

This was the son of Wang Feng, and he would be the descendant of the Wang Family.

Holding the baby for almost two minutes, Wang Feng put him beside Zisha and said to her gently, “Hang on. I will help you heal the wound now.”

Bearing the pain of his body, Wang Feng finally used his Essential Qi to help Zisha heal the wound, making her as healthy as she was when she hadn’t delivered the baby.

“Darling, what’s the name of our son?” Getting down from the bed, Zisha held the baby and asked Wang Feng beside him.

“Let’s discuss this question later and go out first since they have been waiting for us for so long outside.” Wang Feng said and then opened the door of the patient room.

When it was opened, Wang Feng saw several nervous faces at once, and Zisha’s parents were the ones standing at the front.

“Don’t worry. The baby has been successfully delivered.”

Immediately after he finished these words, he was shoved to the door directly by the crowd who were all anxious to rush into the room.

“Younger Brother, congratulations.” Bei Yunxue and other women all hurried to see the baby while Guijianchou and He Tian still stood outside the ward with calm faces at this moment.

“Don’t you want to go in to see the baby?” Looking at his Brother and Master, Wang Feng asked.

“No need. Since the baby is healthy and safe now, we shall come back and won’t waste your valuable time.” He Tian said.

“Wait a minute.” Seeing they were about to leave, Wang Feng said in a hurry.

“Brother, could you please go first? I want to discuss some private issues with our Master.” Wang Feng said and then led his Master to the end of the corridor.

“Master, I saw the same kind of stone again.” After coming to a quiet corner where there was no one, Wang Feng said straightforward.

“What stone?” Guijianchou asked, not knowing what Wang Feng referred to.

“The one that once endowed me with X-ray vision.” Wang Feng explained, which made Guijianchou open his eyes wide and become more spirited.

X-ray vision was an exclusive skill of Wang Feng. In this Cultivation World that Guijianchou well knew, no one except Wang Feng owned this special skill.

Therefore, how could Guijianchou keep calm now after hearing Wang Feng had found that stone again?

“Where is that stone now?” Guijianchou asked in a hurry.

“It transformed into power and filled up my body at the very moment when I found it. I just want to ask you what exactly that is.”

Wang Feng also described the appearance of the stone and the strong Reiki inside the stone in detail while speaking.

“It’s hard to tell because I haven’t seen it in real life. But I do know many legendary hallows existing in the Cultivation World, and even the Elixir of Fate will be no match for that. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen such a thing even once all through my cultivating life because it is too rare to find.”

“Master, what are you referring to on earth?”

“It’s hard to say. Some valueless things will become very priceless if they exist for a long time. To put it in another way, they will have spirits.”

“What do you think this red stone is on earth? It has been buried deep into the earth for so many years, yet it still stores such mighty power. I’m afraid that if I had got more power from it, I would have directly reached the Great Void.”

“Ridiculous. How could it be so easy to reach the Great Void as you have thought? No matter how much Reiki you have, the Great Void can’t be reached without a good comprehension.”

“Why? What do you mean?” Hearing Master’s words, Wang Feng showed a confused expression on his face.

“Anyway, reaching the Great Void requires not only the power but also the comprehension of the stage. It is a qualitative change in both the power and the mind of cultivators.”

“All in all, you will finally get it when you break through.” Guijianchou waved his hand, seemingly unwilling to say more.

“Could you just tell me what on earth that stone is? Master, you are intellectual and experienced, so even if you haven’t seen it, you must have at least heard of it, right?”

“I can only come up with one thing that is consistent with what you said according to your description.” Guijianchou said, after thinking for a while.

“What is that?” The bloody-red stone had always been a riddle in Wang Feng’s heart, and now his face showed an interested expression after hearing Master’s words that he knew what that was.

“According to my experience as well as the books I once read, I think this red stone is likely to be the lingering part of a dead person.”

“The lingering part of a dead person?” Wang Feng was much more surprised as he heard this.

“Yes. After entering the Great Void, our Essential Qi will get compressed once into the dantian for both saving space and strengthening our own power at the same time. If what I have expected is right, the bloody-red stone you talked about should be the inner core of a powerful cultivator after he passed away.”

“The inner core… What the fuck?” Master’s words reminded Wang Feng of those things on the TV, so he was speechless spontaneously.

It was said that monsters had the inner cores, but how could human beings also own that? Was it possible that cultivators would transform into monsters in the later period of the cultivation?”

“The more powerful one cultivator is, the more dependent he is on the strength stored in his inner core. Just as Zi Ling’s grandpa, though his body is dying, he can still live for several years with his inner core until the power inside is completely used up.”

“But some people will not waste their inner cores when they have seen their coming death. Instead, they will keep them and give them to the later generations in favor of their descendants.”

“If that is not the inner core, I can hardly think of anything able to conserve its own power for such a long time with little loss in this world.”

“If you really want to ask me what that is, I will tell you that it is the inner core left by some other powerful cultivators who have already passed away, and the inner cores contain all their strength obtained by them in their cultivating life.”

“Is there any other possibility besides this?” Wang Feng asked, after keeping silent for about five minutes.

“I’m not sure, but since you have already taken advantage of that stone, why do you still want to ask for the source of it? Will you become more powerful if you get the result?”

“Well… No.” Wang Feng shook his head.

“Since you will not, do not search for its origin further. You got the stone because you had the luck, but this lucky moment is rare throughout your lifetime, after all. There are many things that we have no idea of in this big world, so it will be better for you to spend time improving yourself rather than figuring out the stone that you have no idea of. You are very close to the Great Void. Come on!” Saying this, Guijianchou patted on Wang Feng’s shoulder with his hand, making him show a wry smile.

Even his Master could not clearly explain what the stone was. What else could he do?

If the bloody-red stone he had got was really the inner core left by someone who was dead, that cultivator who left the inner core really had a respectable character.

Because he even gave up the chance to be alive. Could it be possible that he was anxious to die?

Shaking his head, Wang Feng stopped thinking further. His Master was right. He should do his own business rather than think about this question as the result was meaningless for Wang Feng.

“You must be seriously hurt now, right?” At this moment, Guijianchou asked all of a sudden.

“How do you know that?” Hearing Master’s words, Wang Feng showed a surprised look. He looked like a healthy person now, but his Master still knew the truth.

“Don’t forget the profession of your Master. If I could not even tell the injured from the healthy, how could I be qualified to be a doctor?”

“Since you have known it, Master, would you please help to cure me?”

“Okay. Come with me.” Guijianchou said, then leading Wang Feng into a VIP patient room not far away from them.

“How did you get hurt like this?” Seeing the unsightly wounds on Wang Feng’s skin, Guijianchou stood up at once and was in a great rage.

“I encountered someone who almost reached the Great Void, so I was hurt like this.” Wang Feng replied.

“Who dared to hurt my protege so severely? I must kill him.” As Guijianchou said this, Wang Feng was really moved by his Master’s indignant face.

He seldom saw his Master fly into a rage, and even in the Martial Art Tournament of Chang City, he had never seen his Master so angry.

“Master, cool off. The man who got me hurt is dead now, and I killed him myself.” Wang Feng pulled his Master to sit down as he said this.

“You could kill someone more powerful than you are?” Guijianchou was surprised at Wang Feng’s words.

“Of course. As your protege, I will become No. 1 in this world one day, so how could I get killed by someone so easily?” Wang Feng said this complacently.
