Romantic Medical Immortal

Chapter 570: The Half-Human, Half-Serpent Monster

"Yang Cheng, what’s wrong with you? What should I do now?"

Kong Lingwen was a bit panicked. Yang Cheng was in a semi-unconscious state, and there was no one around to help her. Her voice was filled with helplessness.

Her heart was in her throat, but since she was not a cultivator, she did not know where to start helping.

Moreover, she might disturb Yang Cheng, so she didn’t dare to touch him. She only asked once and seeing he didn’t respond, she fell silent.

Snake Source Qi transformed into worm-like streams, spreading through his limbs and bones. Yang Cheng endured immense pain, not daring to slack off.

Currently, he was at the Foundation Establishment Second Stage. In theory, absorbing Zodiac Energy should be easier than before, but the Snake Source Qi seemed more powerful than the Rat Source Qi.

When all the Qi streams converged in the Dantian, he immediately activated his Cultivation Technique, allowing the Dantian to rapidly absorb the Snake Source Qi.

Then, the Snake Source Qi merged into his bloodline, releasing a surge of energy inside him, making Kong Lingwen’s body go numb, her legs weakening as she collapsed to the ground.

Boom!!

At this moment, a familiar muffled sound resonated within Yang Cheng’s body.

He rejoiced internally, feeling the pure and vast Spiritual Energy instantly permeate his limbs and bones, washing over his meridians and skeleton layer by layer.

Foundation Establishment Third Stage!

The power inside him gradually rose, and Yang Cheng was ecstatic, hoping to leap two realms.

But ultimately, his strength reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Third Stage and did not continue to break through. This was expected, given that now being in the Foundation Establishment Realm, it’s not like the rapid breakthroughs possible in the Qi Refining Realm.

Reaching the peak state, breaking through the Foundation Establishment Third Stage wasn’t far off.

Yang Cheng, panting heavily, slowly opened his eyes. He seemed expressionless, but inside, he was far from calm.

The Snake Source Qi not only brought an enhancement in cultivation, but he vaguely felt a special energy restless within him.

Absorbing Rat Source Qi granted the Poison Control Skill, so what would absorbing Snake Source Qi entail?

Thinking of this, Yang Cheng immediately withdrew his emotions and closed his eyes again, entering a meditative state.

Although his cultivation inside surged after absorbing the Snake Source Qi, it will take a long time to fully integrate.

Fortunately, he had previously absorbed a lot of Primordial Yin Qi, making his Dantian stronger as his cultivation increased. Though the integration time is long, it progresses smoothly.

Watching Yang Cheng’s normal expression and steady breath, Kong Lingwen finally breathed a sigh of relief, got up, dressed, and sat waiting, looking around to prevent anyone from coming in and causing a disturbance.

The sky grew brighter, now past seven o’clock.

In Hidden Cloud Village, Da Shan knocked on the door and said softly, "Brother Cen, come out for breakfast."

Ni Qingyao pushed open the door and walked out, smiling, "Xiaochen and Lin Wen went up the mountain to gather herbs early in the morning. Let’s eat first; we don’t need to wait for them."

"Out so early, Brother Cen really works hard."

Da Shan sighed and then seated Ni Qingyao to start breakfast.

During these two days, Da Shan’s family of three also understood Ni Qingyao’s appetite. Every morning, they would cook a large pot of porridge, steam two pots of sweet potatoes and buns to barely keep her full.

Meanwhile, on the mountain, Kong Lingwen was a bit anxious as time slowly slipped by, knowing in a little over an hour, villagers would definitely come up.

This area was a mess. Yang Cheng was still naked, and anyone with eyes would know what they were doing here.

Having recovered some strength, Kong Lingwen tidied up, cleared the campfire, leaving only the mattress intact, fearing to disturb Yang Cheng.

Half an hour later, she vaguely heard voices nearby, her heart leaping.

She looked back at Yang Cheng, finding a gold light emanating from him, a powerful air wave blowing his clothes, his hair fluttering, and his handsome face looking even more dashing, like a god descending, inspiring awe and admiration.

"How amazing!"

Seeing this, Kong Lingwen gasped her mouth covered in shock, her beautiful eyes full of astonishment.

Without the Snake Source Qi’s influence, she felt her past male-disguising actions were ridiculous, while her love for Yang Cheng completely burst forth.

The golden light slowly dissipated, Yang Cheng exhaled and slowly opened his eyes.

His pupils flashed green, and instantly scales like a snake appeared on his skin.

Since he was naked, the layers of scales on his body were clearly visible.

"Ah!!"

Kong Lingwen exclaimed in disbelief.

"Yang Cheng, what is going on, why did you turn into this?"

She was so anxious she was about to cry, subconsciously reaching out to touch, only for his scales to suddenly fall off.

Not only did his body turn into snake scales, even his eyes became snake-like, looking eerily strange, his face different, more alluring.

Kong Lingwen was completely petrified. Everything seemed smooth, Yang Cheng had said absorbing Snake Source Qi was a good thing for him. But if he were to become such a half-human, half-snake monster forever, what would she do?

At this moment, Yang Cheng did not rush to speak, but researched the secret technique gained from absorbing Snake Source Qi.

With a thought, the scales on his body fell off, transforming into smoke on the ground, dissipating into the air.

Still in shock, Kong Lingwen didn’t react, realizing Yang Cheng had vanished when the smoke cleared.

"Yang Cheng! Where... where are you? Don’t scare me!"

Kong Lingwen’s voice trembled as she rushed over, checking the small mat. Now the sky had brightened, the cave was no longer as dark, and she could see all around with one glance.

Yang Cheng had been right in front of her, yet vanished into thin air.

Is this the price of absorbing Snake Source Qi?

Thinking that Yang Cheng might be gone forever, Kong Lingwen was in a panic, stood with aching legs.

Just as she reached the entrance, a strong arm embraced her waist, pulling her into a warm embrace.

"Don’t be afraid, I’m fine."

His deep voice echoed in her ear, calming Kong Lingwen instantly.

She stiffly turned her head, confirming it was Yang Cheng, fully dressed, smiling at her.

Seeing him safe, Kong Lingwen’s anger surged, pounding his chest with her fists.

"You jerk! Trying to scare me to death! What happened just now?"

"Someone’s coming, this isn’t the place to talk, let’s leave first."

Yang Cheng quickly packed the mat and personal items, then carrying Kong Lingwen, took a side path down the mountain.

After walking a distance, Yang Cheng stopped and put Kong Lingwen down.

"Quickly tell me, how did those scales come from?"

Kong Lingwen asked while pulling at his clothes, finding smooth skin, no sign of snake scales at all.
