Lin Feng didn't wake up until evening, after he had been meditating. His previously horrific injuries had completely healed. Apart from his clothes still being burned to shreds by lightning, there wasn't a single wound on his body. Even some old injuries he had sustained while hunting beasts had disappeared, and he looked completely refreshed.
"Boss Lin, are you alright?" You You asked.
Lin Feng's eyes were bright, and he was slightly excited. He clasped his hands in a salute and said, "Your Excellency, I have successfully established my foundation thanks to Your Excellency's grace."
"Huh?" What kind of chicken?
"You've reached the Foundation Establishment stage!" Yin Fan, standing to the side, was startled, his face filled with disbelief. This was a Foundation Establishment cultivator; not only in Shangyang, but in the entire Fengtian Kingdom, there were only a handful.
"Yes." Lin Feng nodded even more excitedly, "I cultivated at home for a period of time. Although I didn't develop spiritual energy, I still had some basics. So Your Excellency's technique just now not only helped me generate spiritual roots, but also helped me break through my realm and successfully establish my foundation." That's why it attracted tribulation lightning; it was the tribulation lightning for his foundation establishment.
Youyou was a little confused, but she could guess that Foundation Establishment probably referred to a cultivation level, which meant that Lin Feng not only had a spiritual root, but also leveled up.
This might be related to his existing physical condition, and he didn't pay much attention to it. Only when he saw that there were no other abnormalities in his body did he have time to inquire about the so-called celestial maiden.
After Lin Feng's explanation, she finally understood what they had missed when they were explaining the basics of this world to her. In this world, only women are born with spiritual roots, but female cultivators are a minority, which is why they were so surprised when they thought she was a female cultivator. Men, on the other hand, must first possess spiritual roots to cultivate. Among women, a very small number possess special abilities from birth, capable of helping men without spiritual roots to develop them. These women are the so-called Celestial Maidens!
Lin Feng said that because the Heavenly Maiden has such abilities, the sect leaders and heads of all sects are, without exception, Heavenly Maidens.
“Your Excellency must also be a celestial maiden from a major sect. Perhaps she just encountered some accident and lost her memory,” Lin Feng analyzed. “I’m sure your sect’s disciples are searching for you all over the world.” The disappearance of a celestial maiden is such a serious matter. Not to mention a sect, the entire cultivation world would probably be thrown into turmoil.
“Well…” Youyou’s lips twitched, “What if I’m not from any sect? Is there any other possibility?” She was just an outsider who had transmigrated, and no one really had come looking for her.
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting this possibility. After a while, he said with some surprise, "If Your Excellency is not a Heavenly Maiden who already has a sect, then it can only be a newly awakened Heavenly Maiden."
"So what will happen to the new Heavenly Maiden?" Youyou asked.
"This..." Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "As far as I know, celestial maidens are usually born into noble families of the immortal race. These families are the celestial maidens' relatives. With a celestial maiden, they can form their own sect and recruit many disciples. But if the new celestial maiden's clan is weak, she can either have a large noble family or immortal race come to her aid, or she can join a large sect."
"You mean, the Heavenly Maiden is actually the head of the entire sect?" So the Heavenly Maiden is a born patriarch? That must be so tiring!
"Yes." Lin Feng nodded.
"Aren't there any celestial maidens who only provide spiritual roots, but don't establish sects or take on disciples?" Does every celestial maiden have to be forced to start her own business?
Lin Feng frowned, looking at her with a determined expression, and said, "Disciples of the sect are all bestowed with spiritual roots by the Heavenly Maiden, which is why they can embark on the path of cultivation. Having received such a great favor, it is only right that we repay it with everything we have. Betraying the Heavenly Maiden is equivalent to betraying the Great Dao. Heavenly Maiden, do not worry. Although you have lost your memory, I'm sure your sect disciples are doing everything they can to find you."
"..." Okay, so the Heavenly Maiden not only helps people unlock their spiritual roots, but also takes care of them for life.
Lin Feng suddenly bowed to her again, saying each word carefully, "Your Excellency, although my Lin family is a small clan in Shangyang, we were able to possess the destiny of immortality because we were blessed with spiritual roots by the Heavenly Maiden. My entire Lin family is willing to follow the Heavenly Maiden's lead and will do everything in our power to help Your Excellency return to your original sect."
"Uh, well..." Seeing how seriously the other person wanted to help her get home, Youyou suddenly felt a little awkward. She scratched her head sheepishly and said, "If I said... I haven't actually lost my memory, and I only just found out I can help people awaken their spiritual roots. So I'm not some missing celestial maiden from a sect, and there's no need for you to find a way to get me back to my sect, would you... believe me?"
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, and even the onlookers not far away were dumbfounded.
Youyou was even more embarrassed. "I didn't mean to lie to you, but there are some things I don't know how to explain. So..." She couldn't even explain the time travel part herself. "I'm sorry, I..."
"I believe you!" Before she could finish speaking, Lin Feng nodded solemnly. His gaze towards her showed no anger at being deceived, but rather unwavering determination, as if he would unconditionally trust whatever she said. "Your Excellency, you are a celestial maiden! You are a blessing from heaven to the human world. Everything you do has its own reason, and you don't need to explain it to us. No matter what, I will follow Your Excellency to the death."
After she finished speaking, she bowed again earnestly, looking at her as if she were looking at her god.
Youyou felt a warmth in her heart, and for a moment she had the strange feeling that she had gained an unparalleled die-hard fan.
"Th...thank you." Feeling the enthusiasm of her fans for the first time, Youyou was a little embarrassed. She turned to look at her teammates, who had the same expression as Lin Feng but were still standing far away, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with them? Why are they so far away from me?" It seemed that ever since they found out that she was a celestial maiden, apart from Lin Feng, her teammates had suddenly become like this, standing far away and not daring to get close.
