Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng looked at Zhou Zhiruo with a face full of heartache and hugged her tightly. "Zhiruo! I do have a way to help you restore your former strength, even to the point of being stronger than before. This is my secret! That's why I haven't had a chance to tell you yet!"
Zhou Zhiruo was slightly surprised upon hearing this, but her face immediately lit up with joy. "Brother Feng! You're not lying to me?"
Li Changfeng smiled broadly upon hearing this, "When have I ever lied to you!"
Zhou Zhiruo pouted upon hearing this and punched his chest with her small fist. "You said you weren't lying to me. You said you'd come to Emei to find me, but you never came. I've been waiting for you for so long!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng gave a wry smile, "Yes, yes, yes! It's my fault! It won't happen again!"
Zhou Zhiruo gave a soft snort, "I'll believe you for now! But Brother Feng, how are you going to treat my injuries?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng's face turned solemn. "With my powerful divine skills, I can forcibly reconnect your meridians and even expand them considerably!"
Zhou Zhiruo was astonished upon hearing this, exclaiming, "What kind of divine skill is this! It actually has such effects!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng said solemnly, "This divine skill involves a powerful person! I cannot tell you for now; I will tell you everything when the time is right!"
Zhou Zhiruo nodded upon hearing this and didn't ask any more questions, showing great understanding. Seeing this, Li Changfeng kissed her forehead with affection, saying, "However, this treatment is extremely painful! You must endure it, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo said solemnly, "Don't worry, Brother Feng! For you, I will definitely persevere."
Zhou Zhiruo always felt a little inferior. She felt that her strength was far inferior to Li Changfeng's. She was just a little pretty, and to put it bluntly, she was just a pretty face with no real use.
She desperately wanted to become Li Changfeng's right-hand woman and help him. Now that she had such an opportunity, she was determined not to let it slip by. She secretly vowed to persevere!
Li Changfeng's expression turned extremely solemn upon hearing this. "Alright! We'll begin in three days!"
Three days later.
"Zhiruo! Are you ready?"
Zhou Zhiruo nodded solemnly upon hearing this, "I'm ready!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng's expression became extremely solemn. He slowly removed her clothes, explaining that to treat the broken meridians in her body, she had to be completely naked so that the meridians could be reconnected precisely without any obstruction.
Zhou Zhiruo blushed slightly and let Li Changfeng do as he pleased. Since she was Li Changfeng's woman anyway, she didn't care too much, but she was still a little shy. Li Changfeng, on the other hand, was focused on probing the broken meridians in her body.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and he gathered a crimson Stupa True Qi between his two fingers. He then slowly drew across Zhou Zhiruo's broken meridians, and the powerful Stupa True Qi forcefully reconnected the broken meridians.
The intense pain caused Zhou Zhiruo to break out in a cold sweat and tremble all over, but she didn't utter a single cry, showing remarkable strength!
Seeing this, Li Changfeng felt heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do. "You must hold on, Zhiruo!"
Zhou Zhiruo nodded with difficulty upon hearing this. The intense pain caused her to bite her lip until it bled, and tears filled her eyes. Li Changfeng sighed upon seeing this and continued to help her reconnect the remaining broken meridians.
Fortunately, Zhou Zhiruo's condition was not as serious as his at the time. With his current skill, he could also do it. However, expanding her meridians would probably not have the same effect as the Shaolin Abbot's on the spot, but it would still benefit Zhou Zhiruo greatly!
Li Changfeng, covered in sweat, finished reconnecting all of Zhou Zhiruo's meridians. "Next is to expand the meridians. Bear with it, Zhiruo!"
After saying that, Li Changfeng slowly injected his crimson Floating Stupa True Qi into Zhou Zhiruo's body, forcibly opening a cycle for her. The intense pain made Zhou Zhiruo groan involuntarily. Seeing this, Li Changfeng felt a pang of heartache and decided to give up.
This kind of pain is unbearable for most people. Seeing this, Zhou Zhiruo gritted her teeth and said, "Brother Feng! I can still do it! Do it one more time for me!"
Seeing the determination in her eyes, Li Changfeng gritted his teeth and attacked again. After the Stupa True Qi of the Floating Pagoda passed through Zhou Zhiruo's body once more, she finally couldn't hold on and fainted.
Seeing this, Li Changfeng felt a pang of heartache. He slowly dressed her and placed her on the bed. Li Changfeng himself sat down beside her, utterly exhausted, his face extremely pale, clearly having expended a great deal of energy.
One hour later.
Zhou Zhiruo slowly woke up and immediately felt that the meridians in her body were twice as large as before. She was extremely shocked. With her current talent, her cultivation speed would only be stronger, and her whole person underwent earth-shattering changes.
She was overjoyed and secretly vowed, "I will definitely practice my skills hard from now on! I will become Brother Feng's right-hand man!"
At this moment, Li Changfeng smiled slightly after seeing Zhou Zhiruo wake up, "How are you feeling now? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo looked at Li Changfeng with deep affection, "Brother Feng! I'm fine! I feel stronger than ever before!"
Li Changfeng smiled broadly upon hearing this, "That's good! You need to rest well for the next month and can't practice any martial arts, otherwise all my previous efforts will be wasted!"
Zhou Zhiruo nodded solemnly upon hearing this, "I understand! Brother Feng!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng smiled slightly, took out a golden Jade Scroll from his person, and slowly handed it to Zhou Zhiruo, "Take a good look at this technique! You will practice this divine skill from now on!"
After examining the Jade Scroll, Zhou Zhiruo was shocked. "This... this cultivation technique, is it the one you obtained from the Free and Unfettered Sect Ruins? It's too precious! I can't accept it!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng said solemnly, "I seized this inheritance this time precisely to give it to you. I already have my own inheritance, and this divine skill is only slightly superfluous to me. You also know the principle of not being greedy and not being able to handle more!"
Upon hearing that Li Changfeng had risked his life to obtain this martial arts technique for him, Zhou Zhiruo was deeply moved. She immediately threw herself into Li Changfeng's arms, her heart filled with sweetness. "Brother Feng! I promise you! I will definitely practice this divine skill well and won't hold you back!"
Li Changfeng chuckled lightly upon hearing this, "It's alright! You'll never be a burden to me, but my wife!"
One month later.
Zhou Zhiruo diligently studied the [Eight Desolations Six Unions Sole Supremacy Art] for nearly a month and discovered that the technique was extremely powerful, and could even maintain her youthful appearance.
However, there is a drawback: every thirty years, one's skill will reach its peak, and then one will revert to youth, returning to the initial state of skill.
After thirty days of rest, his power will be restored, and when he cultivates again, it will be like accumulating thirty years' worth of power together.
This process continues for 120 years until the skill reaches its peak, becoming extremely powerful!
