Chu Feng did not continue arguing with the Queen about the matter. Instead, he helped Song Xi up and examined his injuries.
But the moment he did, his brows furrowed deeply.
"My Lord, how is Xi'er? Will he be able to hold on?" Song Xi's mother asked nervously from the side.
"The power of this inheritance is too strong. Song Xi needs time to fuse with it. I can help him, but the merging process is still extremely painful. Whether he survives… that depends on himself."
As Chu Feng spoke, he began setting up a formation to aid Song Xi's fusion with the inheritance.
Song Xi remained unconscious throughout, yet occasionally let out pained wails. However, there was nothing Chu Feng could do beyond that.
Just as he had said, his formation could only serve an auxiliary role. Whether the fusion succeeded ultimately depended on Song Xi's own fortune.
"Chu Feng, you went in there too. Did you receive any inheritance?" Once Chu Feng had some free time, the Queen asked eagerly.
"I did receive an inheritance, and the gains were quite substantial," Chu Feng said.
"What kind of inheritance? Tell me, tell me right now," the Queen urged impatiently.
"When I entered, it was already toward the end of the inheritance process. So I didn't obtain the so-called Ten Thousand Poison Mystic Art, nor did I receive a direct infusion of cultivation. However… I obtained three Immortal Techniques," Chu Feng said.
"What Immortal Techniques? Go on, go on," the Queen pressed.
"The first-grade Immortal Technique — Qi Poison Flow."
"The second-grade Immortal Technique — Monster Poison Flow."
"The third-grade Immortal Technique — Dragon Poison Flow," Chu Feng said.
"Not bad, not bad! You'll be able to cultivate these before long. How are these Immortal Techniques? Are they powerful? Judging by the names… could they be related to the Ten Thousand Poison Demon Sect?" the Queen asked.
"They are indeed related to the Ten Thousand Poison Demon Sect. These three Immortal Techniques form a progressive cycle."
"When all three are cultivated and thoroughly mastered, one can comprehend a new Immortal Technique."
"This new technique is also a third-grade Immortal Technique, but its power far surpasses other techniques of the same grade — it is infinitely close to a fourth-grade Immortal Technique."
"This technique is called 'Ten Thousand Poisons Descend,'" Chu Feng said.
"Excellent, excellent. Your gains were quite impressive after all," the Queen said excitedly.
But soon, the Queen grew somewhat dejected. "Sigh… if I had known this inheritance was so powerful, you should have just gone in yourself. This inheritance was given to that Song Xi, and he can't even handle it. It would have been better if you had received it."
"Haha, my dear Queen, this was never meant to be ours. The fact that we obtained what we did is already quite fortunate," Chu Feng said.
"The problem is that Song Xi can't withstand it. He might not only fail to endure it — he could die from it. That's such a waste," the Queen said.
"Don't say that. Although I didn't receive a direct infusion of cultivation, I believe that because this was an inheritance formation containing profound secrets of martial cultivation, I still gained some insight," Chu Feng said.
"What did you gain insight into? Tell me right now," the Queen said, blinking her large eyes.
"I gained insight into the Dao of martial cultivation, and my gains were enormous. I believe I can attempt to break through to the third-grade True Immortal realm," Chu Feng said.
"Really? That's wonderful! Not bad at all, this truly isn't bad. It seems this trip wasn't in vain."
The Queen became excited once more. That was simply how the Queen was — she always placed Chu Feng's interests above everything else. As for the fate of anyone else, the Queen couldn't care less.
"Oh right, Chu Feng. Open that Universe Bag and take a look. There are definitely plenty of treasures inside," the Queen said.
"That belongs to Song Xi. How can I just rummage through it?" Chu Feng said.
"So what? Just look at what's inside. I'm not telling you to take anything. At most you could borrow something and return it to him later. His cultivation is so weak right now that he can't even use them anyway," the Queen said.
"Spare me, my dear Queen. This is something I really cannot do."
Chu Feng remained firm in his refusal.
