Did I Just Get Plastic Surgery? A Banished Immortal.
As soon as Chen Feng stepped out of the secret chamber, he found that his feet felt light.
His body had become very light and agile.
He tried pushing off with both legs, and in just an instant, he crossed more than a hundred meters and arrived at the entrance to the mine.
It was as if he had teleported.
"Is this the Qi Refining First Layer?" Chen Feng stared at his body in disbelief.
According to the Qi Induction Art, at the Qi Refining First Layer, one could only draw on the Spiritual Qi in a small number of Spirit Apertures within the body.
In almost every respect, the body was no different from a mortal's.
In combat, casting one or two minor Law Techniques was already considered good, and one could only use them a few times before running out of Spiritual Qi.
Yet now, not only did his skin look as though it had been smoothed by a beauty camera, but his speed and strength had also increased to such an absurd degree.
"Sect Master, are you all right?" Wang Hu's worried voice rang out as he led the others into the mine.
Everyone froze when they saw Chen Feng standing inside.
To their eyes, Chen Feng's appearance had undergone an earth-shaking transformation.
His short hair was gone, replaced by silver hair that flowed over his shoulders like a waterfall. The strands shimmered with a faint silver light, as though they were silk woven from the radiance of the moon.
Chen Feng had already been on the handsome side.
But now his face looked as though it had been exquisitely sculpted, and an unworldly quality showed in his features.
Although they could still tell that the man before them was their sect master, Chen Feng, the impression he gave them was entirely different.
To Wang Hu, Chen Feng, standing in the distance, looked like a banished immortal who had descended to the mortal world. His transcendent bearing was nothing like that of a mortal.
Seeing their stunned expressions, Chen Feng immediately touched his face. Only then did he realize that his hair had grown longer and changed color.
"You all go outside first," Chen Feng said calmly.
Wang Hu immediately came to his senses and hurriedly shouted to the people beside him, "Everyone, out!"
Wang Hu was filled with shock. He wondered whether Chen Feng had cultivated into an immortal.
Just meeting Chen Feng's eyes gave him the feeling that he had been seen through completely. He had never seen a gaze like that before, so mysterious and profound.
After Wang Hu and the others left.
Chen Feng returned to the secret chamber and found a mirror. When he saw his reflection, he froze too.
"Did I just get plastic surgery?"
He could hardly believe the person in the mirror was him.
"I only cultivated to the Qi Refining First Layer. Why did I change so much? What exactly went wrong?"
Chen Feng grew worried and began examining his body closely.
Soon, he discovered that his change in appearance had something to do with the Spirit Apertures in his body.
His Spirit Apertures were shining like stars, and Spiritual Qi was streaming endlessly from them, spreading throughout his body.
Chen Feng immediately took control of his Spirit Apertures and drew back the Spiritual Qi within his body.
Once the Spiritual Qi in his body had been drawn back, his silver hair changed back into its former short style at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his body returned to the way it had been before.
His body no longer felt as light as it had before, either.
"Could it be that absorbing too much Spiritual Qi caused my Spirit Apertures to mutate?"
Chen Feng speculated inwardly.
Fortunately, he could return to his former appearance. If he went back to the modern world looking like that, he was sure to be taken away for research.
Chen Feng glanced at the messy secret chamber but left it alone. He closed the passage between worlds, then walked out of the mine.
At the mine entrance, Wang Hu was reprimanding more than a dozen people:
"Not one of you is to tell anyone what happened today. If you dare breathe a word of it, don't blame me for showing no mercy!"
A ruthless look appeared on Wang Hu's face.
Although he did not know what kind of change Chen Feng had undergone, it definitely had something to do with immortals.
Once people found out that Chen Feng was cultivating to become an immortal, the entire Yue Kingdom would probably come looking for trouble with him.
Immortals-that was what every martial artist aspired to become.
The dozen or so Xingfeng Sect martial artists immediately nodded like chicks pecking at grain.
After experiencing the last betrayal, Wang Hu's character had matured considerably, and he no longer trusted others so readily.
In this lifetime, he would trust only Chen Feng. So he had already made up his mind: these people were to be confined within the Xingfeng Sect forever.
If they dared leave, he would kill them all without hesitation.
"Sect Master!"
One of the martial artists spotted Chen Feng coming out of the mine.
Wang Hu saw Chen Feng at once as well, and was slightly surprised to find that he had returned to his former appearance.
"Sect Master, are you all right?" Wang Hu asked with concern.
Chen Feng waved a hand.
"I'm fine. Have someone go in and clean up the secret chamber."
Wang Hu hurriedly arranged for people to go in and clean the secret chamber.
At that moment, Chen Feng noticed that some of the Xingfeng Sect's buildings had collapsed, and some of the trees on the mountain had been snapped in half as well.
"What happened?"
Wang Hu explained:
"Sect Master, an hour after you went into seclusion, fierce winds suddenly swept through the entire Xingfeng Sect for some reason. An inexplicable force appeared within the sect, and then things ended up like this."
Hearing Wang Hu's explanation.
Chen Feng immediately understood that the inexplicable force was probably Spiritual Qi.
He had not expected his use of the hyperbaric oxygen chamber this time to cause such a commotion.
At that moment, Chen Feng also understood why the hyperbaric oxygen chamber had exploded: there had been too much Spiritual Qi, and it simply could not withstand it.
Wang Hu hesitated before asking:
"Sect Master, have you cultivated into an immortal?"
Seeing Wang Hu's apprehensive gaze, Chen Feng smiled and replied, "Not quite, but I'm trying."
Hearing Chen Feng's words, Wang Hu immediately broke into an honest smile:
"I knew all along that you were no ordinary man, Sect Master."
In less than half an hour, the secret chamber had been cleaned. Chen Feng told Wang Hu that he was going to continue his seclusion, then returned to the chamber.
Chen Feng planned to make a trip back to the modern world. He needed to ask Lin Wei about the current condition of his body.
It was Lin Wei who had told him about using a hyperbaric oxygen chamber to absorb Spiritual Qi.
He did not know whether his present condition might be dangerous.
After all, no one had ever tried using modern technology to assist in cultivating immortality.
The modern world, the laboratory.
Lin Wei looked at the metal block in her hand with satisfaction.
"Its hardness and lightness have both improved considerably, but this still isn't the limit."
Lin Wei had been studying Blazing Sun Iron during this period, and the piece in her hand was her latest successfully improved version.
This piece of Blazing Sun Iron was about ten percent stronger than before.
Although she still had not fully studied the seventy percent of the substances in the Blazing Sun Iron.
Its strength could still be increased further by processing it and fusing it with other metals.
"Professor Lin!" Chen Feng's voice came from the entrance as he entered the laboratory.
When Lin Wei saw that it was Chen Feng, her eyes immediately lit up, and she asked at once:
"Have you already tried absorbing radiation? How did it go?"
Seeing Lin Wei's expectant gaze, Chen Feng was at a loss for words.
"Professor Lin, didn't I tell you? I wasn't going to absorb radiation myself. I was only having an academic discussion with you."
Lin Wei actually thought he had gone and absorbed radiation.
Who would deliberately absorb radiation? Wasn't that asking for an early death?
He had no idea how this woman's mind worked.
"I understand, I understand. So, Professor Chen, what brings you here this time?"
Lin Wei smiled knowingly and did not question Chen Feng any further.
