"It hurts so much!"

  "Master, you're awake!"

  "Older brother, you've finally woken up."

  Ye Feng slowly opened his heavy eyelids, and several heads appeared in front of him.

  It was Tang Jingtian, Liu Mang and Wu Liang, all three of whom had eyes full of concern and delight.

  "I knew the boss would be fine, who could take the boss's life!" Liu Meng had almost blind trust in Ye Feng, and in his eyes, Ye Feng was all-powerful.

  "Master, you've finally woken up. You scared us to death!" Tang Jing Tian was not as exaggerated as Liu Meng, but he was genuinely delighted.

  "Where is this?" Ye Feng's head still hurt and his consciousness was not very clear.

  "Boss, this is certainly your inner world, otherwise where else would there be such an environment." Wu Liang said.

  "Oh." Ye Feng gradually recalled that on the top of the mountain peak, the spiritual medicine transformed into a small doll and jumped into his arms. He then jumped off the mountain peak, was attacked in an instant, entered the inner world without preparation, and suffered some injuries. However, he still successfully entered the inner world in the moment he lost consciousness.

  "How many days have I been unconscious?" Ye Feng felt that his lips were a bit dry and it was somewhat inconvenient to speak.

  "How many more days? It's almost half a year." Tang Jing Tian shook his head and said.

  "It's been half a year, which means it's also been about twenty days outside." Ye Feng calculated and asked.

  "It's been about half a year outside, but in the inner world, it's already been five years." Tang Jing Tian's expression was somewhat heavy. Although Ye Feng had woken up, this time was really too dangerous! Ye Feng had been unconscious for a whole five years in the inner world!

  "What! I've been unconscious for five years!" Ye Feng suddenly sat up with a start, his head spinning dizzily.

  Tang Jing Tian grabbed Ye Feng's shoulder with one hand, preventing him from falling down.

  "It's not like that, these five years for you are just a sleep, but for us, it's like a lifetime, every day we're waiting by your side, always hoping you'll suddenly wake up." Liu Mang muttered.

  "Liu Mang, no complaining allowed." Tang Jing Tian scolded Liu Mang.

  "No, it's me who owes you, making you worry about me." Ye Feng regained a bit of strength and the fuzziness in his head slightly cleared up.

  "Boss, don't say that, this is what we should do," said Wu Liang.

  "Alas, it's all because of my greed that I've fallen into danger. If not for the protection of the inner world, I'm afraid I would have ceased to exist in this world long ago." Ye Feng also felt his own wrongdoing.

  "Big brother, the Blood Orchid is gone. To treat your injuries, we used up the entire plant. The Jade Rabbit Orchid is also on its last breath. If you sleep for another half year, it will be gone too." Wu Liang said with a sorrowful face, as he and Tang Jing Tian had extremely deep memories of the Blood Orchid.

  If it weren't for this Blood Orchid, the two of them wouldn't have become Ye Feng's subordinates.

  "Hmm, it's gone, just gone. Being able to wake up the master, this Blood Orchid and Jade Rabbit Orchid are worth it." Tang Jing Tian was quite open-minded about it.

  "What about the little doll I brought back?" Ye Feng remembered that at the moment he entered the inner world, the doll was still in his hand and also followed him in.

  "Alas, let's not mention that little thing again. At first, we thought it was a spiritual herb and wanted to use it to cure your injuries, but who would have thought that the little creature was too cunning and couldn't be caught?" Liu Meng said helplessly.

  Mentioning the doll, several people felt a bit embarrassed. Three Golden Core cultivators and two Nascent Soul spirit beasts couldn't even deal with a spiritual medicine, it was laughable if word got out.

  "Haha, this is normal, otherwise two super spiritual beasts wouldn't be so desperate." Ye Feng laughed.

  He tried to feel it, and the little doll was playing in a place far away from Ye Feng's location in his inner world.

  Moreover, the little doll seemed to have sensed Ye Feng's probing and suddenly burrowed into the ground as soon as Ye Feng's divine sense passed by.

  Ye Feng smiled, this little doll was quite cunning, but it didn't know that in the internal world, he himself was the absolute master. Now he hadn't even recovered from his injuries and his spiritual energy was completely gone. If he recovered, getting the little doll to come over would be as simple as a thought.

  Ye Feng chatted with the three of them briefly again and found out that they hadn't told Ye Qingyun about his unconsciousness, fearing she would worry too much.

  As for this, Ye Feng is still very satisfied with the three people's approach. Bringing Ye Qingyun and the Ye family members into the inner world was to give them a relatively quiet environment, no longer living in fear of their lives. If they were allowed to worry about themselves, it would lose its original meaning.

  Ye Feng had just come around, his body still very weak. After exchanging a few simple words with the three of them, he couldn't help but lie down again.

  Soon Sanlang and Xiaohong also learned that the master woke up, and they rushed over to surround Ye Feng.

  Ye Feng's heart was moved, it turned out that not only did the three people have feelings for him, but these two spiritual beast pets were also concerned about him.

  It's great to be alive!

  This is Ye Feng's greatest feeling at this moment.

  Three days later, Ye Feng was able to sit up independently and tried to cross his legs in a meditation posture, starting to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to recover his body.

  Ye Feng found that the meridians in his body had suffered great damage, and many of the originally connected meridians were once again disordered. Moreover, he could no longer feel any spiritual energy at the dantian.

  Tang Jing Tian saw Ye Feng's anxious look and hastily consoled him, "Master, what's most important now is to completely heal the internal injuries in your body. Only then can you recover your cultivation. If you try to recover your cultivation before the internal injuries are fully healed, it will definitely leave behind hidden ailments in your body, which will bury potential problems for your future cultivation."

  Ye Feng thought about it and agreed with himself that he was too impatient, his body had suffered such severe injuries, absolutely cannot be eager for quick results, first completely cure the body is the right way.

  Having a clear understanding of the problem, Ye Feng also found the direction to move forward. The heavenly spiritual energy he absorbed no longer converged on his dantian, but instead impacted the damaged meridians and drove out the blood stasis in his body.

  The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is abundant, but Ye Feng's body has been severely damaged, so he can only absorb a small amount. At the beginning, he couldn't even feel the existence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

  Ye Feng did not lose heart, he eliminated all distractions and put his entire consciousness on sensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

  After several days passed, I finally felt a faint breath of existence.

  Even this faint breath, as weak as a wisp of silk, made Ye Feng ecstatic, and his efforts over the past few days had not been in vain.

  Try to draw this breath into your body.

  "Ah!" Ye Feng gritted his teeth, a stinging pain spreading throughout his body. His current physical state was far from the stable foundation stage, and the damaged meridians transmitted real sensations when absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

  Bearing the agony, he knew that he absolutely could not give up. If he gave up at this time, then his life would be completely ruined and he would never be able to cultivate again. He might as well just become an ordinary person.

  The burning pain twisted Ye Feng's face, showing how much pressure he was under. Sweat dripped down his skin and fell to the ground.

  Tang Jing Tian and two others were all by Ye Feng's side, protecting him.

  They stared at Ye Feng anxiously, but the three of them were helpless. No one could intervene in this situation, and Ye Feng had to get through it himself. This was a crucial moment that tested Ye Feng's willpower and endurance. As long as he survived this ordeal, he would have hope to recover his cultivation.

  Three people talking to Ye Feng didn't express their concerns, and Ye Feng was also clear about his situation. Everyone knew each other's thoughts, pretending to be ignorant, if there was a slight mistake, Ye Feng would only be an ordinary person for the rest of his life.

  Don't give up, must persist!

  Ye Feng encouraged himself in his heart.

  "Hum!" A buzzing sensation spread through his body, and Ye Feng's heart was filled with joy. This thread of energy had finally entered the damaged meridian smoothly, and this feeling of comfort was so real.

  With this persistence, Ye Feng's confidence greatly increased, and he continued to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

  Tang Jing Tian and the three others let out a sigh of relief, the first crucial point had been successfully passed.

  A few days later, Ye Feng could already feel a very strong aura, and the damaged meridians in his body had successfully repaired one of them. He was now able to stand up easily and move around freely, unlike when he first started and could only sit down.

  All three were overjoyed that Ye Feng was able to stand up and walk, which meant that the meridians in his body had not been completely disrupted, making it much easier to repair.

  Time flew quickly in Ye Feng's persistence, and two months later, Ye Feng finally repaired most of the meridians, and Xiuzhi also returned to the gathering period. Although it was still far from his strongest state of building a stable foundation, it gave Ye Feng hope.

  His mood was great at this time, and every day, apart from the fixed cultivation, he would also discuss with the three of them some ways to defeat the enemy.

  Through learning with three people, Ye Feng had some understanding of the path he had taken before.

  I understand now that I had some deviations in the past, being too focused on the dharma treasures and the inner world. My cultivation grew too quickly, so my foundation wasn't laid very solidly. This is like building a high-rise building - if you build it in just seven days, not to mention an earthquake, even a typhoon would be a huge threat.

  So this time, Ye Feng did not deliberately pursue a rapid recovery of his original cultivation, but instead solidified each realm firmly, and through such solidification, Ye Feng's understanding of each realm became even more profound.

  In his spare time, he would also go visit his father Ye Qingyun and Xiaoyu, enjoying the atmosphere of home.

  The good days are always fleeting, and Ye Feng's cultivation has also been steadily improving. This time, the improvement in his cultivation is not like before, starting from a martial artist, but rather repairing damaged meridians and re-cultivating each realm.

  Not only did it not cause Ye Feng's cultivation to decline, but instead, it had become even more refined. When Ye Feng returned to the stable foundation realm, he felt that his ability to control the magic treasure was much stronger than before.

  Lotus position, Ye Feng felt a brand new foundation-building period feeling.

  The surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy madly surged towards him, forming a huge vortex around his body. Ye Feng's body floated in the air at the center of the vortex.

  He suddenly sensed a thread of opportunity about to break through.

  A burst of spiritual energy, and a large number of crystal stones appeared around him.

  Although it was not a breakthrough from the foundation building period to the golden core period, after several months of re-cultivation, Ye Feng realized that every boundary upgrade also required crystal stone energy to harmonize the heaven and earth spiritual energy.

  As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth poured in, both hands quickly absorbed the energy within the crystal.

  "Hum!" As all the crystals around him turned a dull gray, Ye Feng's body felt an extremely pleasant sensation.

  "Ah!" Ye Feng let out a long whistle, his body soaring into the air.

  Is this what it feels like to reach the pinnacle of foundation building?

  Ye Feng knew that his current foundation peak was completely different from his previous advancement.
