Chapter 264: Healing
"You kid, why must you be so difficult?" Chu Tianshan said with a helpless sigh.
Chu Feng said coolly, "It's not that I'm being difficult. I'm just not interested in any of this."
"Fine, fine. Have it your way," Chu Tianshan said. "Regardless, you are now the Young Master of the Chu Family, and its future Patriarch. You can't escape that. But when you come around, you can come back at any time."
"I'm going to take some Celestial Soul Grass. I need to go see my parents, but I'll be back later to treat your injuries," Chu Feng said.
"Of course. Take as much as you want. There's more than enough here," Chu Tianshan said.
There was so much Celestial Soul Grass in all of Xinjing Valley, it was truly as common as weeds and practically worthless.
Chu Feng didn't hold back, digging up more than fifty stalks. The only reason he didn't take more was that he couldn't carry them; otherwise, he definitely would have.
As for Chu Tianshan's injury, it wasn't actually that severe. However, very few people in this era knew how to treat injuries to the Divine Soul, as many Martial Cultivators were completely unaware that the Divine Soul even existed.
A few hundred years ago, an issue like this would have been considered minor and could have been easily treated with a few rare treasures.
"I'm leaving now." Holding the Celestial Soul Grass, Chu Feng left without another word.
With a single leap, he shot more than ten meters into the air. A few more bounds and he was at the top.
'Sigh... to think the Chu Family would produce such a heaven-defying genius, only for things to turn out this way. Sigh.' Chu Tianshan couldn't help but sigh again.
If they hadn't expelled Chu Feng's grandfather from the Chu Family back then, Chu Feng wouldn't be like this today. Even if they had given their all to support Chu Yunfei, things probably wouldn't have become so awkward.
Of course, that was all in hindsight; no one can predict the future.
All Chu Tianshan could do was sigh. He then made his way out of the valley as well.
Carrying the Celestial Soul Grass, Chu Feng walked straight down the back mountain and returned to his uncle's residence.
At that moment, Chu Feng's parents, Su Miaoke, and Chu Qingqing were all sitting on the training ground in front of the residence, basking in the sun and chatting.
When Su Miaoke saw Chu Feng, she called out excitedly, "Honey, you're back?"
"Mmm. I spent too long in the Scripture Pavilion this time," Chu Feng said. "Once I finish up today, let's head back tomorrow."
"We're leaving tomorrow?" Chu Qingqing asked.
"Yeah. Don't you want to leave, Sis?" Chu Feng asked with a smile.
"It's not that," Chu Qingqing said. "It's just so sudden, I'm a little overwhelmed. After all, I've spent decades here without ever going outside. I'm a little afraid."
She had grown up in the Chu Family compound. She yearned for the outside world but was also filled with unease, wondering if it was really as wonderful as the rumors claimed.
"Let's go. It's time to get out and see things. When you've stayed in one place for a long time, it's good to get out and about," Chu Feng said.
"Okay," Chu Qingqing said with a nod.
In truth, she was very much looking forward to the outside world. It was just that the thought of suddenly leaving the only home she'd ever known made her somewhat apprehensive.
"However, in Beihai, both the Qing Gang and the Zhao Family have influence," Chu Feng said. "Once you're there, Sis, you need to keep a low profile. Don't get into any conflicts with them. If anything comes up, you can contact me anytime."
"Don't worry, brother," Chu Qingqing said. "You're so powerful. If anyone bullies me, I'll definitely call you for help. You'll have to take care of it for me."
The entire Chu Family had been in seclusion for decades. Many of its members had stayed in this place since birth, knowing nothing at all about the outside world.
Aside from occasionally getting online to learn about the outside world, they had no other channels of information.
"Don't you worry, Sis," Chu Feng said. "The outside world is great, very peaceful. As long as you have money, you can live comfortably."
"Money?" Chu Qingqing asked. "Will gold bars work? I have some gold bars. We don't really have a use for money in the family."
The Chu Family used a distribution system, making money useless to its disciples. As for the gold bars, she had just been using them to prop up the legs of her bed.
"Then you should bring them all with you," Chu Feng said. "You can buy a house in Beihai and live there."
Chu Qingqing was also getting older, so the path of Cultivation would be difficult for her.
'Living an ordinary life would be nice, too—at least much better than the path of Cultivation. And she's not getting any younger; it's time for her to start a family.'
"Mmm, okay," Chu Qingqing nodded.
「Two hours later.」
Chu Tianshan arrived at the door of Chu Yunfei's home.
Chu Feng led him inside, and the two entered a room.
Now that he had the Celestial Soul Grass, Tianshan's injury was a minor problem.
Chu Feng crushed the Celestial Soul Grass into a liquid, heated it, and handed it to Chu Tianshan, telling him to drink it in one gulp.
After he drank it, Chu Feng used his Divine Soul Power to guide the concoction's effects toward Chu Tianshan's Divine Soul, nourishing it and starting the healing process.
The whole process took about half an hour.
"That should do it. How do you feel now?" Chu Feng asked.
