Xia Ruofei heaved a long sigh of relief. His entire body collapsed as his legs gave way and he sat on the ground.
His entire body was drenched in sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
This time, Xia Ruofei had gone all out. In order to obtain the 'heaven' word jade talisman, he had exerted his strength to the limit.
Originally, in order to open the light membrane barrier, one's spiritual power had to be at the Spirit Assembly realm. Xia Ruofei had barely met the requirements, but his qi cultivation was a few levels lower and his physical strength was far from enough.
Especially the palm that was directly in contact with the light membrane barrier, it had to bear almost all the pressure.
Xia Ruofei could no longer remember how many times the bones in his palm had been broken in the process.
As the saying goes, the ten fingers are connected to the heart. Not to mention the fact that the palm and finger bones were constantly being crushed, the pain was no less than cruel torture.
Fortunately, Xia Ruofei had developed a strong willpower during his military service and had also received special anti-interrogation training, so his pain tolerance was much higher than that of ordinary people. Otherwise, he would have fainted from the protective mechanism of his body before he could break the light membrane barrier.
Xia Ruofei leaned against the stone table and panted heavily.
Although Xia Ruofei had continuously used the petals of the Spirit Heart Flower to repair his palm, his hand was still swollen like a steamed bun. The recovery speed of the Spirit Heart Flower's petals could not keep up with the speed of his palm and finger bones breaking, and the medicinal properties of the petals were also rapidly depleted.
Although there were still a large number of Spirit Heart Flower petals in the food container on the stone platform, and Xia Ruofei only needed to think about it to retrieve the petals to continue repairing his hand, he did not even want to move. In fact, his mental power was almost exhausted.
The strength of the light membrane barrier was much stronger than he had expected.
This time, it was a risky move, and he almost failed at the last step.
Xia Ruofei felt a wave of fear after thinking about it, but it was quickly followed by a strong sense of joy.
As the saying goes, 'Wealth comes from danger', this sentence was really true.
Although the process was somewhat dangerous, the harvest was gratifying.
Now, the Heaven Word Jade Amulet was quietly placed on the stone platform without any barriers, waiting for Xia Ruofei to take it away at any time.
Xia Ruofei sat on the ground and rested for more than ten minutes before he slowly recovered.
At this moment, the swelling on his palm had slightly subsided. The remaining medicinal properties of the Spirit Heart Flower's petals had been healing the injuries on his palm.
However, it was clear that the fracture had not been completely healed. Xia Ruofei could still feel the tingling in his palm.
After resting for a while, his Spiritual Energy recovered slightly.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei used his mind and a petal of the Spirit Heart Flower floated up from the preservation box on the stone platform and landed accurately on his slightly swollen palm.
When the petals came into contact with the skin, they quickly melted.
Xia Ruofei felt a wave of comfortable coolness coming from his hand, and the pain immediately lessened.
He stood up and walked to the side of the stone bed. After climbing onto the bed, he sat cross-legged on the jade futon and began to cultivate the 'Dao Technique'.
Perhaps it was because the True Qi and Spiritual Energy in his body had been greatly depleted, but at this moment, his body was like a sponge, greedily absorbing the rich spiritual energy in the space.
To be able to cultivate in the space without any worries was indeed something that Xia Ruofei was quite happy about.
The 'Dao Technique' itself was a top-notch cultivation technique, and the spiritual energy in the space was so dense. Therefore, Xia Ruofei's cultivation efficiency was also very high. As he cultivated the mental cultivation technique over and over again, the True Qi in his dantian gradually filled up, and the recovery of his Spiritual Energy also sped up when he cultivated.
When Xia Ruofei finished cultivating, he realized that the injuries on his palm had basically healed.
In fact, the Spirit Heart Flower's petals that had been consumed during the entire process could have been used on Elder Liu. His tumor would have disappeared on the spot.
Of course, Xia Ruofei did not feel that it was a waste at all.
His gaze fell on the simple and unadorned jade talisman on the stone platform, and his face revealed a satisfied smile.
At this moment, he was not fully recovered, but at least seventy to eighty percent.
Xia Ruofei directly jumped off the stone bed, walked to the stone platform in a few steps, and reached out to pick up the jade talisman.
The jade talisman felt very warm in his hand, and its simple appearance seemed to be in the same vein as the 'Earth' and 'Human' jade talismans from before. However, the patterns on it were more complicated.
Xia Ruofei lovingly played with it for a while, then put the jade talisman in his pocket and walked out of the cave.
Although he had obtained the 'Heaven' jade talisman, Xia Ruofei still needed to perfectly inscribe the formation patterns on the jade talisman in order to obtain the inheritance in the jade talisman.
After going through the 'Extreme Challenge' just now, even though his body had almost recovered, Xia Ruofei was mentally exhausted. Generally speaking, the formation patterns on the jade talisman were not easy, and it was unlikely to be done in one go. Therefore, Xia Ruofei did not start learning the formation patterns on the jade talisman on the spot.
Haste makes waste.
Xia Ruofei patrolled around the Mountain Sea Territory and saw that Xia Qing had arranged the work of the free labor in an orderly manner, so he did not disturb him and directly returned to the outside world.
At this time, the sky outside was completely dark. Just now, Xia Ruofei was focused on upgrading the space, so he did not even eat dinner. In addition, his body was almost exhausted in the cave, so Xia Ruofei felt a burst of emptiness in his stomach at this time.
Therefore, he strolled to the backyard and prepared to find something to eat in the kitchen.
However, as soon as he appeared in the backyard, he was discovered by Wu Qiang. When he learned that Xia Ruofei wanted to find something to eat, Wu Qiang quickly called out his sister-in-law, Wu Xiujuan.
Wu Xiujuan immediately went to the kitchen to prepare food for Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei originally did not want to trouble everyone, but seeing this scene, he could not help but smile bitterly. Fortunately, it was not too late now, and Wu Qiang and the others had not yet rested, so it was not too tiring for them.
Xia Ruofei asked Wu Xiujuan to prepare some light dishes and boiled some rice porridge.
After drinking two bowls of hot porridge, Xia Ruofei suddenly felt much better.
He said goodbye to Wu Qiang and the others and returned to the courtyard where he lived.
Although he had already taken a bath before entering the space, when he unlocked the Heaven Character Jade Talisman, his clothes were already soaked in sweat, and at this moment, his body was also sticky.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei immediately went to take a bath, and then returned to the bedroom. Lying on the bed, he carefully looked at the Heaven Character Jade Talisman, carefully studying the runes on it.
However, Xia Ruofei did not immediately start trying to inscribe it. He just studied it for a while, and had a general understanding of the runes on this jade talisman. He also had an intuitive understanding of the difficulty of inscribing it. Then, he first put the Heaven Character Jade Talisman into the Ring-Tu space, and directly lay down and had a good sleep.
The next day, Xia Ruofei originally planned to start inscribing the runes on the Heaven Character Jade Talisman at home, but early in the morning, he received a call from Director Lu, saying that Master Song wanted to see him.
Xia Ruofei guessed that it was about Liu Haojun, so he immediately agreed.
He did not let Wu Qiang drive, but he drove the Land Rover straight to the Family Song Old House.
Although Xia Ruofei's car often went in and out of the Family Song Old House, when he passed through layers of security, he was stopped twice to check and verify his identity before he was let go.
Moreover, Xia Ruofei also clearly felt that the security around the Family Song Old House seemed to be tighter than before. He knew that this might be the chain reaction brought about by the assassination of Song Qiming. Especially after learning that the mastermind behind the incident was actually a direct descendant of Family Liu, Master Song would naturally be alert and arrange more people to protect him.
Soon, Xia Ruofei met Master Song in the dining room of the Family Song Old House.
The old man was now used to waking up early, but he would arrange a certain morning exercise program. After finishing his morning exercise, he would take a short break to read the latest newspapers and documents, and then have breakfast.
After Master Song saw Xia Ruofei, he smiled and asked, "Ruofei, have you eaten breakfast?"
Xia Ruofei grinned and said, "I was just about to get up and eat! Manager Lu called me right away … "
Director Lu could not help but laugh when he saw this. He got up and took a set of cutlery from the side and said, "Then come and eat! Wouldn't it be better to eat breakfast with the chief? "
Xia Ruofei did not pretend to be polite. He directly sat on the seat to Master Song's left, picked up a glass and drank a mouthful of milk. Then he grabbed two slices of bread, added bacon inside, and ate in big bites.
The more Xia Ruofei did not treat him as an outsider, the happier Master Song was.
He was almost done eating, but he was not in a hurry to get up. Instead, he smiled and watched Xia Ruofei eat.
Of course, Xia Ruofei would not really treat this place as his own home. He ate his breakfast slowly. He quickly ate some bread and drank a glass of milk. Then he wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "Grandpa Song, I'm done eating!"
Master Song nodded, and Director Lu immediately signaled for the waiter to come over and clean up the dishes.
Xia Ruofei and Master Song sat at the table and chatted. After Director Lu instructed the waiter to clean up the table, he tactfully found an excuse to leave. As for the others, they naturally left as well.
At this time, Master Song said, "You should have heard the news, right? Liu Haojun is dead. "
Xia Ruofei calmly nodded and said, "The news spread throughout Beijing yesterday. If he's dead, then he's dead! He only has himself to blame and deserves to be punished! "
Master Song nodded. He naturally did not care about the life and death of a junior from a rival family.
Master Song revealed a meaningful smile and said, "Family Liu is announcing to the world …"
At this point, Master Song looked at Xia Ruofei and asked with a hint of testing, "Ruofei, you've interacted with Old Liu many times. What do you think of him as a person? What do you think of him? "
Xia Ruofei said without hesitation, "Ambitious and ruthless!"
Master Song laughed and said, "You're quite direct! How do you know? "
"Family Liu was able to reach such a high position. Naturally, he is very capable." Xia Ruofei said, "And his way of doing things is indeed very distinctive. Everything he does is for the benefit of his family."
At this point, Xia Ruofei revealed a strange expression and said, "But … I think this kind of person is quite scary! In front of the family's benefit, he can sacrifice anything. In his eyes, perhaps there is only the size of the benefit. There is nothing that can't be sacrificed. If there is, it is because the benefit it can bring to him is not big enough. Besides, if even family love is extinguished, then what's the point of living? "
Old Song laughed heartily and said, "Ruofei, your evaluation of Old Liu is quite accurate and penetrating. We've known each other since we were very young, so I know him quite well. He has been like this since he was young. "
Speaking of this, Elder Song couldn't help but reveal a trace of nostalgia. She sighed and said, "However, this kind of personality trait of his was actually quite good in that era, especially when working in the military. In the face of the ever-changing battlefield environment, one had to quickly make the most favorable judgment for one's side. And if there is a choice, there will be a sacrifice. Very few people can be like him, calmly sacrificing the soldiers he has led for many years as a sacrifice. So, he also had outstanding military achievements at that time! "
Xia Ruofei nodded in agreement and said, "Maybe … but at least in the current era, such a person is a bit scary … On the day you went to Family Liu, I had a chat with the old man …" Xia Ruofei said without hesitation, "Ambitious and ruthless!"
Master Song laughed and said, "You're quite direct! How do you know? "
"Family Liu was able to reach such a high position, so naturally, he is very capable." Xia Ruofei said, "And his way of doing things is indeed very distinctive, and everything is for the benefit of his family."

In his eyes, maybe only the size of the benefit. There is nothing that can't be sacrificed. If there is, it is because the benefit that can be brought to him is not big enough. In addition, if even family love is annihilated, then what is the point of living? "
Old Song laughed heartily and said, "Ruofei, your evaluation of Old Liu is quite accurate and penetrating. We knew each other when we were very young, so I know him quite well. He has been like this since he was young. "
