Liu Qisheng was overjoyed to see this.

With a broad smile, he walked up to Xiao Feng and patted him on the shoulder, saying enthusiastically, "Good lad! You're really something! As expected of a disciple of the Qing Sect, to have such skills at such a young age is truly remarkable!"

A complex look flashed across Liu Heguang's eyes as he watched this scene.

He cleared his throat and said to Xiao Feng, "Xiao Feng, come out with me for a moment, I have something to say to you."

Seeing this, Liu Qisheng also stood up.

The three of them left the main hall together, passed through the carved beams and painted rafters of the long corridor, and arrived at an antique-style reception room.

Liu Heguang sat in the main seat, took a deep breath, and spoke first: "Xiao Feng, I must admit that you have indeed made a great contribution this time. Not only did you save Yue Ling, but you also helped heal Fang Yi. Logically speaking, we should reward you handsomely."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng was delighted, but he remained humble and waited for the next part to be told.

"but."

Liu Heguang changed the subject: "We still can't betroth Yue Ling to you."

For a moment, Xiao Feng's mind was a complete mess, and he couldn't figure it out at all.

He frowned, wondering what Liu Heguang was really up to.

"Elder Liu."

Xiao Feng took a deep breath, suppressing his unease: "What do you mean by that? Have I done something wrong?"

Liu Heguang sighed, his face showing difficulty: "Xiao Feng, don't misunderstand. We are grateful to you for saving Yue Ling. But... do you know your true identity?"

Xiao Feng was taken aback and subconsciously shook his head.

“Actually, you are a member of the Demonic Sect.” Liu Heguang slowly revealed the truth: “Our Qing Sect is a righteous sect.”

"The Demonic Sect?" Xiao Feng's eyes widened. "How is this possible?"

Liu Heguang explained, "The Demonic Sect has committed numerous evils and is irreconcilably opposed to our righteous path. Although you saved Yue Ling, your identity is still sensitive. We cannot afford to be complacent."

"So that's how it is!" Xiao Feng suddenly understood. No wonder Liu Heguang's attitude changed so drastically; it turned out it was because of his identity as a member of the Demonic Sect.

"However," Liu Heguang changed the subject, "we cannot forget to repay the kindness of saving Yue Ling. Here's what we'll do: I have three precious treasures as a way of repaying your life-saving grace. I hope you can leave the sect as soon as possible."

Before Xiao Feng could speak, Liu Qisheng interjected, "Great idea! That's the most suitable way."

Xiao Feng glanced at Liu Qisheng suspiciously and quietly asked in a telepathic voice, "Brother Liu, what's going on?"

Liu Qisheng replied telepathically, "Don't panic, listen to me. Liu Yueling has fallen for you at first sight and will marry no one but you. She said she will only hand over the ginseng fruit if you agree to marry her."

"Ginseng fruit?" Xiao Feng was even more confused.

"Yes, it's the immortal fruit that can help people break through their cultivation level."

Liu Qisheng explained, "Liu Yueling obtained it in the secret realm a few days ago. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

After listening, Xiao Feng fell into deep thought.

He frowned and gave Liu Qisheng a disgruntled look.

This guy actually dared to make decisions for me without my permission?

Xiao Feng was inwardly fretting; he was very unhappy with the feeling of being led by the nose.

Seeing this, Liu Qisheng quickly moved closer to Xiao Feng and said apologetically, "Brother Xiao, I'm sorry! I was just in a moment of panic, thinking of a plan for you. Don't be angry, let's discuss it properly."

Xiao Feng took a deep breath, suppressing his displeasure.

He turned to Liu Heguang and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Elder Liu, you misunderstand. I don't need any precious treasures, I just hope you can wake my senior sister up as soon as possible."

Liu Heguang was stunned upon hearing this, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

He wondered if this kid really had no interest in Liu Yueling, or if he had ulterior motives.

"Xiao Feng, are you telling the truth?" Liu Heguang asked tentatively.

Xiao Feng nodded, his tone sincere: "Absolutely true."

Liu Heguang pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Alright, I understand. However, I still want to give you those three treasures. But..."

He paused for a moment: "After you get the treasure, you still need to leave our sect as soon as possible."

Xiao Feng was completely confused, thinking that Liu Heguang hadn't heard him clearly.

Looking at Xiao Feng deep in thought, Liu Heguang gently shook his head, a hint of helplessness appearing on his face.

He took a deep breath, his tone becoming serious: "Xiao Feng, I know you're confused right now. But I'll tell you a way to save Zhao Yuwei."

Upon hearing that there was a way to save his senior sister, Xiao Feng immediately raised his head, his eyes shining with hope.

"Really? Elder Liu, please tell me quickly!"

Liu Heguang nodded, his expression serious: "Elder Liu Qisheng knows the specific operating method. However, I must remind you that this method may have certain risks."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng felt a surge of intense hope. He desperately wanted to revive his senior sister and was even willing to risk everything.

"No matter the risks, I'm willing to try. As long as I can wake my senior sister!"

Seeing Xiao Feng's determination, Liu Heguang sighed softly, "Alright, since you've made up your mind, I'll go get the treasure I prepared for you."

After saying that, he turned and left the room.

Xiao Feng watched Liu Heguang leave, then turned to Liu Qisheng who was standing to the side.

He asked respectfully, "Elder Liu, can you tell me how to save my senior sister?"

Looking at Xiao Feng's expectant eyes, Liu Qisheng slowly said, "Xiao Feng, the way to save your senior sister is by absorbing spiritual energy. In our cultivation world, spiritual energy is the source of everything."

Xiao Feng listened attentively, nodding from time to time.

Liu Qisheng continued to explain: "You need to use a special technique to condense the surrounding spiritual energy into a tangible form and then guide it into your senior sister's body. This process requires extremely high control; the slightest carelessness could injure yourself."

"I understand." Xiao Feng said firmly, "Please give me detailed instructions on how to proceed, Elder Liu."

Seeing how attentive Xiao Feng was, Liu Qisheng couldn't help but show an approving expression.

He began to explain this special cultivation method in detail, and Xiao Feng listened attentively, afraid of missing any details.

"A rotten wooden staff?"

Xiao Feng asked excitedly, his eyes fixed on the item in his hand, as if afraid it would suddenly disappear.

"That's right, this is the rotten wooden staff."

Liu Heguang nodded in confirmation: "It may be the key to saving your senior sister's life."

Xiao Feng carefully stroked the decaying wooden staff, and suddenly felt the treasure in his hand tremble slightly, as if it had come to life.

"Is it you, Xiao Feng, again?"

A sharp voice suddenly rang in Xiao Feng's mind: "It is truly an honor for my rotten wooden staff to be in the hands of a genius like you!"

Xiao Feng was startled, never expecting that this rotten wooden staff could actually talk.

He quickly adjusted his mindset and smiled slightly: "Rotten Wooden Staff. I've come to you this time to ask for your help."
