Having confirmed that he had been reborn, Lin Feng could now explain his current mummified state in the hospital; after all, it was perfectly normal to look like this after a car accident just yesterday.
Suppressing the excitement and joy within him, Lin Feng once again entered the magic ring. Indeed, after his rebirth, he felt somewhat intrigued by Tesla's words. However, there was no way he would let Tesla out without a second thought.
Nonetheless, Lin Feng believed he could bargain with him and extract some useful information. With over thirty years of experience, how could Lin Feng not understand that Tesla, trapped in the magic ring, was a moving treasure? Not taking advantage of that would be a waste! Lin Feng thought cunningly.
"Heh heh... So, kid, did the great Lord Tesla underestimate you?" It seemed that Tesla was even more anxious than Lin Feng, asking boastfully.
After all, Tesla did not want to be thwarted again by Lin Feng's "indifference," and he still hoped to make good use of Lin Feng. Of course, he was unaware that Lin Feng had the same intention. Neither of them were particularly trustworthy.
"Heh heh... You really didn't guess wrong; I have indeed returned to ten years ago." Although he felt excited inside, Lin Feng did not show it much. "Unmoved by honor or disgrace" was a necessary quality for negotiations, and Lin Feng had never lacked this skill; he simply hadn't expressed it before due to his previous disillusionment with life.
"So what about now? Can we consider what we just discussed?" Tesla knew Lin Feng's temperament well and decided not to act too proud, fearing that Lin Feng might get angry and ruin the negotiation.
"Heh heh... I want to as well, but as you just said, my mental power is too weak to do much. How about you help me boost my mental power? Maybe then I can release you," Lin Feng feigned a bitter smile as he spoke.
"You... do you think mental power can be easily enhanced? Not to mention my current state prevents me from helping you; even if I could, do you really believe your ordinary brain can handle such immense spiritual energy?" Tesla wasn't foolish. Since Lin Feng wasn't easily fooled, he wouldn't be stupid enough to help him increase his mental power.
God knows what would happen if this cunning kid's mental power increased! Besides, Tesla was right; Lin Feng's brain could no longer accept any more spiritual energy infusion.
"Then there's no way?" Lin Feng still did not show any signs of impatience. In fact, he felt there was no reason to be anxious at all; after all, he had been reborn and possessed a magic ring that would allow him to live well.
"Not that there’s no way at all; it just depends on whether we can find some rare treasures in the future. With my medical skills, it’s not impossible to help you enhance your physical strength. However..." Tesla replied with a smile, a wicked grin on his face.
"But what?" Lin Feng asked.
"You have to let me go out occasionally. Right now, I can't even see the outside world; how can I help you find rare treasures? I don't even remember how many years it's been since I last came to Earth; I have no idea what it's like now," Tesla sighed nostalgically, recalling how glorious it had been when he last visited Earth. Now he had to negotiate with this kid just to catch a glimpse of the outside world, which made him feel somewhat desolate.
Seeing Tesla's sense of loss, Lin Feng vaguely understood his feelings and nodded in agreement with his request. Sometimes, Lin Feng could still be quite sentimental.
"I'm done arguing with you. I've figured you out; your temper is just like mine—extremely cunning. No one can force you to do things you don't want to do. You don't need to worry about me doing anything harmful to Earth. Although I'm not exactly a good person, I'm still a Doctor and won't waste my time on things that harm both others and myself," Tesla suddenly seemed to come to a realization and spoke candidly to Lin Feng.
"That's for the best. Your temperament is quite similar to mine. For now, you'll just have to follow me, but rest assured, I won't treat you poorly," Lin Feng replied, somewhat skeptical of Tesla's words. However, as long as he didn't do anything harmful to humanity, Lin Feng wouldn't mistreat an alien friend. After all, having friends come from afar is a joy!
"Hehe... that's good. By the way, I almost forgot—go grab that jade bottle from the corner. It's a valuable item!" Tesla suddenly remembered something and said to Lin Feng.
Following his instructions, Lin Feng brought over the jade bottle and felt that it was indeed extraordinary; surely what was inside wasn't ordinary either!
"This bottle contains something from Earth. A long time ago, I collected it from a Taoist when I came to Earth. It's called 'Forbidden Spring,'" Tesla reminisced.
"Forbidden Spring," just hearing the name piqued Lin Feng's curiosity. In this day and age, taboos always quickly arouse people's interest; the times are in dire need of stimulation.
"What use does it have, Old Buddy?" Lin Feng casually asked.
"Old Buddy?" Tesla didn't mind Lin Feng's somewhat disrespectful yet familiar address. After all, he was currently alone, and it was great that someone like Lin Feng could consider him a friend.
"I named it myself; that person didn't tell me its name. Based on my estimation, it should belong to the Mystical Sect," Tesla explained.
"Mystical Sect? Does it really exist?" Lin Feng asked curiously.
"Of course! But that was in the past; it probably doesn't exist anymore. Even if it does, it should be very rare," Tesla clarified.
"This bottle contains a special potion that was once disrespected by the Mystical Sect. As for why? The reason is simple: this 'Forbidden Spring' is an existence that defies heaven itself and has the effect of transforming someone completely in an instant," Tesla continued explaining. His voice... well... had a hint of temptation.
Hearing "transform completely," Lin Feng's interest was piqued as well. After all, this was something from the Mystical Sect. Although he had never encountered anything from the Mystical Sect himself, he had seen enough to know its reputation—something quite impressive.
"Hehe... Old Buddy, how should this be taken?" Lin Feng directly skipped over whether he should take it himself and asked instead.
"Ha ha... cunning little guy, are you tempted? Don't worry, this bottle now belongs to you. Consider it a gift from me. Anyway, this thing has no use for me," Tesla said as he generously tossed the item to Lin Feng.
"However, although this thing is extraordinary, it's not better to take more of it. It's said that you can only use it once a year, with ten drops each time. But it should be more than enough to recover your injuries and enhance your physique," Tesla continued to explain.
"Okay, got it." Lin Feng wasn't greedy; recovering from his injuries was already sufficient. As for enhancing his physique, that was just an added bonus. He didn't expect to be able to fly or escape the ground with just one drop.
"Alright, kid, nice to meet you. You seem eager to go and use it? Let's go; I want to take a nap," Tesla said before falling asleep. As for how a soul could sleep, Lin Feng had no idea.
"Well then, I'm off, old buddy." Lin Feng didn't hold back; his impression of Tesla had improved quite a bit. At least this person wasn't so annoying and seemed quite reasonable.
Just as Lin Feng returned to reality from the magic ring, he heard the sound of a door opening. He was in a regular hospital room without anyone accompanying him at night, so he couldn't think of who it might be and could only look toward the door.
A woman entered wearing a white coat that had clearly been altered; it fit her perfectly—not too baggy and not too tight—showcasing her perfect figure.
Since she was closing the door, Lin Feng couldn't see her face yet, but her silhouette was enough to spark imagination. Her slender waist and curvy hips were accentuated by the loose white coat, along with her long legs. Based on Lin Feng's estimation, she stood about 165 centimeters tall. Finally, she turned around and switched on the light, allowing Lin Feng to see her face.
An angel! This was the only word that came to Lin Feng's mind after seeing her face!
She had a fair complexion—perhaps due to coming in from outside—and her oval face was slightly flushed from the cold. Her delicate wrists were like frost and snow, with a hint of red on her lips that made her look shy yet inviting. She resembled a pink peach blossom in beauty and carried herself with an elegant grace.
Even after working for several years in bars where beautiful women were never in short supply, Lin Feng was still mesmerized...
