“I know, but you still have to memorize them. I hope that when you come to me next time, you will be able to recite your favorite story of the Miracle King.”

Chen Jing's expression immediately darkened.

He was immediately reminded of his past before he transmigrated, and all those painful and terrifying memories came flooding back.

Seeing Chen Jing's expression, Pan Fengyu smiled and said:

"If you memorize it well, I can give you a reward, or even reduce your tuition."

Chen Jing took the book and nodded solemnly.

He resolved to memorize the text diligently outside of his meditation time, striving to ensure that not a single word was wrong!

Even a little money is money, especially now that the city gates are closed and the hunting party can't go out, he has no income at all!

After Chen Jing took his leave, Pan Fengyu tapped on the table by himself.

A look of confusion appeared on his face.

...

Back at his rented home, Chen Jing saw Li Huaxing clumsily practicing her swordplay in the yard. Only after smelling the aroma of food did he realize that he had been starving for almost a whole day.

After taking the special medicine, Uncle Zhang felt much better and his spirits recovered somewhat. He only coughed occasionally. He lay on a bamboo chair in the yard, with a pot of warm wine beside him, and gave Li Huaxing some pointers. He already knew what had happened during his serious illness.

Wan Tong and Zhang Tao Ying cooked a very nice meal together to celebrate Uncle Zhang's recovery from his coma.

Chen Jing also took the opportunity to distribute the snacks that Pan Fengyu had taken from him to everyone.

Zhang Taoying said excitedly, "According to the doctor's orders, my dad will be able to walk without support in another month. I was so scared before, his cough was so bad, I had to use my strange ability to calm him down and put him to sleep... Thank goodness, thank goodness..."

These words drew envious glances from Li Huaxing, who knew that Zhang Taoying was a born genius.

Zhang Lin thanked Chen Jing for his help and said with a smile that he would definitely repay the money Chen Jing lent him once he recovered from his illness.

Seeing Zhang Lin's expression, which showed no signs of worry or concern, Chen Jing guessed that perhaps Zhang Taoying had not told her father that she had joined the Black Hand gang.

"No matter what... enjoy the present moment, and worry about the future later," Chen Jing told himself.

He has already obtained the dictionary and will soon be able to begin learning martial arts. He has mastered the method of absorbing spiritual energy and will soon reach the Blood Realm, becoming a cultivator and protecting those around him.

...

In Pan Fengyu's study.

Pan Fengyu flipped through the books quickly, as if searching for something, when his hand suddenly stopped.

"The treatise states that the flying corpse is characterized by stabbing pain in the heart and abdomen, shortness of breath, and a feeling of fullness and distension rising upwards to the chest. This disease has no gradual onset and arrives suddenly, as swift as flying, hence the name 'flying corpse.'" (Note)

His expression gradually changed from astonishment to anger, and then to confusion.
