Chapter 220 Cave
The light of morning sun shone through the cracks in the cave onto Gao Xingchen's face. His eyelids trembled slightly, and he finally woke up from a long coma.
"Xingchen, you finally woke up!" Xuanfeng's surprised voice sounded in his ears. Gao Xingchen felt dizzy and countless broken pictures flashed through his mind. Nanli's figure flashed by and his heart suddenly ached.
"Nanli... How's Nanli?" Gao Xingchen struggled to sit up, but found himself weak all over, as if he had been hollowed out.
Chef Meng came over with a bowl of steaming medicine and said worriedly, "Xingchen, don't worry, drink the medicine first."
Gao Xingchen took the bowl of medicine and drank it in one gulp. The bitter taste made him frown.
"What exactly happened? Where is Nanli?" Gao Xingchen asked anxiously.
Xuanfeng sighed and told Gao Xingchen that Nanli had been captured by a mysterious organization.
"What?!" Gao Xingchen stood up suddenly, his eyes full of bloodshot, "Who is it? Who took Nan Li away?!"
"We don't know either." Xuan Feng shook his head, "Those people are very powerful. We are no match for them at all."
Gao Xingchen's body shook and he almost fell down. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into the flesh, but he didn't feel any pain.
Nanli, you must wait for me, I will definitely find you and rescue you! Gao Xingchen swore secretly in his heart.
"Xingchen, the most important thing for you now is to take good care of your health. Only in this way can you save Nanli." Chef Meng consoled.
Gao Xingchen took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He knew that Chef Meng was right. It was useless for him to be impulsive now. Only by regaining his strength could he compete with that mysterious organization.
"I understand." Gao Xingchen nodded, "I will recover as soon as possible."
In the next few days, Gao Xingchen locked himself in the depths of the cave and concentrated on practicing. He found that during his coma, the star power in his body seemed to have undergone some changes, becoming more refined and more powerful.
He took out the secret book he found in the cave and read it carefully. This secret book recorded a technique called "Star Art". If practiced to the extreme, one could control the power of the stars and destroy the world.
Gao Xingchen absorbed the knowledge in the secret book eagerly. He found that the secret book produced a wonderful resonance with the star power in his body, and his practice was twice as effective with half the effort.
Day after day, Gao Xingchen's training became more and more diligent, and his strength was also rapidly improving. In the cave, the stars flickered, as if foreshadowing the rise of an unparalleled strong man...
Gao Xingchen practiced the "Star Art" eagerly, and the depths of the cave seemed to become an independent little world, with starlight flowing and spiritual energy filling up. Xuanfeng watched Gao Xingchen working so hard, feeling both worried and admiring. He knew that Gao Xingchen was under tremendous pressure at the moment, but he believed that Gao Xingchen would be able to overcome all difficulties and save Nan Li.
"Xingchen, take a rest. You have been practicing for three days and three nights." Xuanfeng walked to Gao Xingchen with a bowl of porridge, his tone full of concern.
Gao Xingchen slowly opened his eyes, his eyes sparkling with brilliance, as if they contained endless star power. "I'm fine, I feel my strength is recovering quickly, even stronger than before."
Chef Meng also came over and looked at Gao Xingchen's condition with a pleased smile on his face. "Xingchen, your talent is amazing. In just a few days, you have already mastered the 'Star Art'."
Gao Xingchen smiled. He knew that this was not only due to his own talent, but more importantly, the "Star Art" perfectly matched the star power in his body. Coupled with his firm belief in wanting to save Nan Li, his cultivation speed was so amazing.
"Xuanfeng, Brother Meng, you should come and practice too. I found that the 'Star Art' seems to help us absorb and use spiritual power better." Gao Xingchen said sincerely.
Xuanfeng and Chef Meng looked at each other and saw the surprise and expectation in each other's eyes. They agreed to Gao Xingchen's proposal without hesitation. The three of them sat cross-legged and began to practice "Xingchen Jue" under Gao Xingchen's guidance.
In addition to practicing, Gao Xingchen did not forget his other "secret weapon" - cooking. He used the existing ingredients in the cave and combined with his understanding of spiritual power to develop a series of special foods that can enhance the spiritual power of practitioners.
"Come, try my newly made 'Star Buns' and see if they can help your practice." Gao Xingchen handed the steaming buns to Xuanfeng and Chef Meng.
Xuanfeng and Chef Meng had already been whetted by the tempting aroma of the buns. They couldn't wait to take a bite, and immediately a pure spiritual power spread throughout their bodies, making them feel refreshed.
"This... this bun can actually enhance spiritual power!" Xuanfeng said in surprise.
Chef Meng looked at Gao Xingchen with admiration, "Xingchen, your cooking skills are getting better and better. You can actually make such amazing food!"
Gao Xingchen smiled, he knew that these special foods would become an important trump card for them to fight against the mysterious organization. As time goes by, Gao Xingchen's cooking skills and the practice of "Xingchen Jue" will be improved, and he will also attract more like-minded partners to join his team...
The news that Gao Xingchen could make food that could enhance spiritual power spread quickly. At first, people were skeptical, but when they tasted it, they were all amazed. More and more practitioners came here to see Gao Xingchen and taste the food he made.
Gao Xingchen welcomed everyone who came and entertained them warmly. He incorporated his understanding of spiritual power into cooking, and developed a variety of dishes with unique flavors and powerful effects, winning the admiration and trust of everyone.
"Mr. Gao, I am willing to join your team and fight against the mysterious organization with you!" A burly man said excitedly after eating the "Dragon and Tiger Fight" made by Gao Xingchen.
"Mr. Gao, we are also willing to follow you!" More and more practitioners stood up and expressed their desire to join Gao Xingchen's team.
Gao Xingchen looked at the faces full of hope and fighting spirit, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that he was no longer fighting alone, and he had a team he could rely on and trust!
In the following days, Gao Xingchen led the newly formed team to start a counterattack against the mysterious organization. They searched for clues everywhere, trying to find the place where Nan Li was imprisoned.
Hard work pays off. By chance, Gao Xingchen learned the approximate location of Nanli from a captured member of the mysterious organization.
However, just as they were about to rescue Nan Li, a greater crisis quietly arrived. A strong spiritual pressure enveloped the entire area, and the leader of the mysterious organization actually showed up in person!
"We found Nanli!" Gao Xingchen clenched his fists excitedly. He learned from the captives that Nanli was imprisoned in a secret valley. He wished he could grow wings and fly to her immediately.
"Great!" Xuanfeng and Chef Meng could not hide their joy. They had already prepared for a fight to the death.
Gao Xingchen took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and calmly began to deploy the battle plan. He knew the danger of this operation, and the strength of the mysterious organization should not be underestimated, not to mention that they didn't know how many traps were waiting for them.
However, just as they were getting ready to rescue Nan Li, a suffocating pressure suddenly descended. The originally clear sky suddenly became overcast, with howling winds, flying sand and rocks, and the whole world seemed to be shrouded in a doomsday scene.
"Oh no! It's the leader of the mysterious organization!" Gao Xingchen's face suddenly changed. He felt an unprecedented sense of crisis from this terrifying spiritual pressure, as if a giant beast from the abyss was slowly opening its bloody mouth, wanting to devour them all.
Before he finished speaking, a figure in a black robe with his face hidden in the shadows suddenly appeared in front of everyone. He just stood there quietly, but exuded a palpitating sense of oppression, as if he was the master of this world, controlling the life and death of everyone.
"Are you Gao Xingchen?" The man in black spoke slowly, his voice low and hoarse, like a call from hell.
"It's me." Gao Xingchen met his gaze fearlessly, with rage burning in his heart, "What on earth do you want to do by taking Nan Li away?"
"Nan Li? She's just an insignificant ant. Is she worthy of your concern?" The man in black sneered, "However, since you care about her so much, let her be buried with you!"
After saying that, the man in black suddenly raised his right hand, and a terrifying spiritual power wave burst out instantly, turning into a black beam of light, rushing straight towards Gao Xingchen.
"Get out of the way!" Gao Xingchen yelled, and dodged the fatal blow. However, the practitioners behind him were not so lucky. They were hit by the black beam and turned into ashes in an instant, without even having time to scream.
"Damn it!" Gao Xingchen's eyes were bloodshot. He had never expected that the leader of this mysterious organization was so powerful and displayed the power to destroy the world with just one move.
"Is this your strength? How disappointing." The man in black smiled contemptuously, as if mocking Gao Xingchen's helplessness, "Today, all of you will die here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black attacked again, and the violent spiritual power raged, surrounding Gao Xingchen and others. Gao Xingchen and others fought hard, but in front of the absolute strength of the man in black, their resistance seemed so pale and powerless.
"Are we really going to die here?" A feeling of despair spread in everyone's hearts. They had already sensed that the shadow of death was slowly looming.
At this moment, Gao Xingchen suddenly remembered something. He raised his head abruptly and looked at the man in black with a firm gaze. "It's not that easy to kill me! Let's go!"
After saying that, Gao Xingchen rushed into the depths of the dense forest regardless of everything. Seeing this, Xuanfeng, Chef Meng and others followed without hesitation.
The man in black did not rush to chase after them. He just looked coldly at the direction where Gao Xingchen and the others fled, with a cruel arc on his lips. "Want to escape? Do you think you can escape?"
