"Oh, I'm exercising!"
Ye Feng didn't stop, but continued to do frog jumps with the large stone on his back.
"Exercising?"
Yue Yan walked up to Ye Feng, looking at him with some bewilderment.
"I don't know what happened to my body, the tribulation fire is gone... the arcane energy is gone too... I drank some wine yesterday and felt my body recovering well... so I decided to start cultivating again..."
Ye Feng did a few more frog jumps as he spoke.
"Phew!"
Seeing this, Yue Yan's face broke into a smile. She had been worried that Ye Feng would be disheartened after losing his power...
Meanwhile, Qiao Ying, on the balcony of the third floor of the building not far away, also breathed a sigh of relief...
As Yue Yan and Qiao Ying relaxed, they both felt a sense of admiration for Ye Feng.
After all, to go from a top-tier expert who could command the elements to an ordinary person... such a huge psychological blow was not something anyone could bear...
Yue Yan had seen people who couldn't accept this decline, who gave up on themselves, or even committed suicide...
But Ye Feng showed no such signs, even intending to start cultivating again from the most basic physical training...
...
At noon,
In the living room of the house Ye Feng had been residing in since his injury, called "Qing Xin Ya Ju."
Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao were staring at a fist-sized, multi-faceted, semi-transparent box, while Xiao Xiao was holding a pen, drawing and writing on white paper, occasionally frowning.
The exterior of the multi-faceted box was engraved with various strange lines and icons. It looked like some kind of rune, but not quite. This was the Anka that Bao Yuting had given him when Ye Feng was at the Brad base.
This was also the only thing Ye Feng could find in his entire spatial warehouse that might help him recover.
After all, Bao Yuting had said that when he was a child, his heart had been pierced by a blood race member, and it was because of this Anka, a treasure guarded by their clan for generations, that he survived...
Furthermore, the blood race and the Kalergi had massacred the indigenous people there and established the Brad base, conducting a large number of terrifying experiments... They had searched for decades... just for this Anka... kanshu5.xa
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up as if she had discovered something. She quickly took the multi-faceted box and examined it closely, her expression extremely focused.
Ye Feng remained silent, afraid of disturbing Xiao Xiao.
After observing with a frown for a while, Xiao Xiao picked up her pen and began to draw on the white paper again...
...
Time passed by the minute, the moon rose and the sun set, and it was unknowingly noon the next day.
Xiao Xiao was still drawing and writing, and Ye Feng was still beside her. Qiao Ying was also present, and the fruit platter, small pastries, and steamed dumplings on the table were brought by her...
At this moment, Xiao Xiao's lips were smeared with black ink...
It turned out that Xiao Xiao had been using a pen to draw and write, and had used up a whole bottle of ink. The bottle on the table was a new one Ye Feng had fetched.
And because Xiao Xiao was so focused on writing and drawing, she hadn't noticed that she was dipping her steamed dumplings not in vinegar, but in ink...
"Swish~ Huala~ Swish swish~"
With a few more strokes on the drawing paper, Xiao Xiao finally stopped.
"Big brother, I'm done..."
Xiao Xiao tidied up a few sheets from a pile of messy drawings and handed them to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng didn't take them immediately, but took out a tissue to wipe Xiao Xiao's mouth.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Xiao curiously took out a small round mirror to check herself.
"Ah... why is it all ink... and my hands too..."
Seeing herself in the small round mirror, Xiao Xiao exclaimed in surprise, then ran to the bathroom...
After a while, Xiao Xiao returned to the round table in the living room.
At this moment, there was a bowl of porridge on the round table, along with small dishes like fried eggs, lean meat soup, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes, all brought by Ye Feng and Qiao Ying.
"Xiao Xiao, eat up!"
As soon as Xiao Xiao sat down, Ye Feng called out.
"Oh, okay!~"
Xiao Xiao didn't stand on ceremony and immediately began to eat heartily.
...
In a short while, Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, and Qiao Ying were all looking at the few sheets Xiao Xiao had sorted from a large pile of drawings... kanδん
"Big brother, this multi-faceted box called Anka, the messy lines, corners, curves, and patterns on it... they might actually be part of a drawing like this..."
As Xiao Xiao spoke, she folded the thin sheets of paper together at a special angle. Instantly, the strange, chaotic lines filled each other in, forming a complete pattern.
"My goodness... it's actually like this..."
Looking at the pattern on the round table, Ye Feng was very surprised.
"This... looks like a mural or something..."
Qiao Ying chimed in.
"Mhm mhm!"
Xiao Xiao nodded, "Big brother, this mural seems to tell the story of a person... He went to a strange place, encountered some kind of monster, and was beaten badly... He was pierced by arrows like a hedgehog... almost dead..."
"Then he seemed to drink something... and resurrected on the spot... and killed the monster with one punch..."
Xiao Xiao muttered, looking at the pattern on the drawing.
"Drank something... the Anka?"
Hearing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but guess.
"Ye Feng, I've heard a little about Anka... It seems to be something called the Water of Life, which is said to be able to revive all things..."
Qiao Ying frowned slightly and added.
"Big brother, this multi-faceted box seems to be able to open!"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao spoke again, "Could the Anka you mentioned be inside the box?"
"Open it? How?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng's eyes lit up.
"The messy patterns actually hide a subtle sequence... It seems to be like this... then this... and then this... I need to wait for a moment, and then this..."
Xiao Xiao spoke while operating the multi-faceted box quickly.
"Kacha kacha!~"
After Xiao Xiao finished her operations, the surface of the multi-faceted box flashed with light, rapidly transforming, and finally became a small, square box.
"This..."
Ye Feng was very surprised.
Because even through the box, he could sense wisps of strange aura emanating from within, which was the power of heaven and earth...
"Pak ka!~"
Ye Feng opened the box and found inside a nearly transparent, spherical... gem?
No, it seemed to be something else...
Ye Feng quickly dismissed his previous judgment because the crystal-clear spherical object rippled slightly... it looked more like a drop of water...
"Big brother... is that spherical object... the Anka?" Xiao Xiao asked curiously after observing for a while.
