Chapter 41 Burgeoning Spiritual Energy
After having Shen Feng's seafood porridge,
how could Wang Anxiong have the face to keep him for lunch? Compared with the dishes at ZY Club, it was really hard to swallow.
They had already agreed that tomorrow Wang Anxiong would accompany Shen Feng to Nanming County.

After leaving the kitchen on the twenty-eighth floor, Wang Anxiong respectfully said, "Master, when do you plan to set off tomorrow? So I can come to pick you up."
Shen Feng originally wanted to say he would set out early in the morning, but just then, passing by a rest area on the twenty-eighth floor, he noticed the TV was on. A local channel from Wuzhou was broadcasting a piece of news.
"Yesterday afternoon, a major traffic accident occurred near The First People's Hospital. It is understood that the section of the road where the accident happened collapsed inexplicably. As of now, the confirmed death toll has reached ten, with some of the injured being given full efforts to be saved in the hospital and still not out of critical condition."
"We will now hand over to our reporter to have a look at the scene."
The TV image switched to show the section of road near The First People's Hospital where the traffic accident took place.
There indeed was a huge pit on the ground, with many onlookers craning their necks around it.
A reporter approached an elderly man, asking, "Old man, are you a resident nearby?"
After the elderly man nodded, the reporter continued, "Old man, did you notice anything different about this stretch of road yesterday compared to usual?"
The elderly man said calmly, "Yesterday, I witnessed this road collapse with my own eyes. You should know that when I was young, I served in the army. My bravery was well-known back then. Yesterday, I was the first to go help the victims."
As the elderly man went on praising himself, a woman carrying a vegetable basket beside him said to the reporter, "Young man, don't believe Old Sun's words. He indeed witnessed the accident yesterday, but he was so frightened he wet his pants and couldn't stand up. In the end, the medical staff had to help him up. Back in the army, he was just a pig farmer."
The elderly man, unwilling to be outdone, started arguing with the woman, but the reporter immediately had the camera moved away.
Watching the scene on TV, Wang Anxiong and others just found the old man a bit amusing.
However, Shen Feng's gaze was different from the rest; his eyes grew more and more solemn. Perhaps others couldn't see, but his eyes clearly saw a white vapor gushing out from the collapsed ground.
Though he saw it through a TV screen, Shen Feng was sure it was Spiritual Energy. There must be a substantial amount of Spiritual Energy underneath where the road had collapsed, otherwise, it wouldn't be gushing out like this.
He had been to the area near The First People's Hospital before, and at the time, he hadn't sensed any dense Spiritual Energy in the vicinity. Could it be that something concealed the Spiritual Energy?
Shen Feng's brow furrowed as he noticed that among the gushing Spiritual Energy, there were traces of black vapor mixed in.
Neither Spiritual Energy nor this kind of black vapor could be seen by the naked eyes of ordinary people.
"It seems there is something strange there! With so much Spiritual Energy, I definitely can't miss out. Perhaps I can use it to make another breakthrough in my cultivation and to further recover my physical body," Shen Feng muttered to himself.
Then, he turned to Wang Anxiong and said, "Book the flight tickets for tomorrow night. I'm going to The First People's Hospital now, come pick me up at the hospital tomorrow evening."
Wang Anxiong asked puzzled, "Master, do you know someone who was involved in the traffic accident yesterday?"
Shen Feng shook his head, "No."
Seeing that Shen Feng offered no explanation, Wang Anxiong didn't dare ask any further.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
They took the VIP elevator down to the first floor of ZY Club, with Elder He, Wang Anxiong, and Fatty Qian all accompanying him to see Shen Feng off.
Xu Dong said, "Master, shall I take you to the hospital?"
This time, Wang Anxiong didn't embarrass himself by competing with Xu Dong; after all, the opportunity to accompany Shen Feng tomorrow had already been yielded to him by Xu Dong.
Shen Feng didn't refuse, "Alright, take me for a ride."
As the group was exiting the entrance of ZY Club, they saw the Zhang family and Zhao Danyan all kneeling down. Upon seeing Shen Feng walk out the door, Zhang Chengzhou crawled over, "Master, I hope you can overlook our petty faults. What happened just now was entirely our fault, we believed the deceitful words of this woman, Zhao Danyan, please forgive us this once."
Even Wang Anxiong would address Shen Feng as "Master," so Zhang Chengzhou did not dare to address him by name.
Yang Li, thinking of the various ways her husband had just mentioned one could die, no longer felt in a position to abhor Shen Feng. With a sob in her voice, she begged for mercy, "We know we were wrong, we were at fault before, we deserve death, we are not even human. As long as you spare us, we will do anything."
Zhang Pengtao was also very afraid of death. The inconsequential youth that he used to bully was now someone before whom he had to kneel and apologize; as the saying goes, those who insult others will be insulted in return.
"You wretched thing, apologize to the Master now, have you gone mute?" Zhang Chengzhou slapped Zhang Pengtao on the head.
Awoken by his father's slap, Zhang Pengtao hurriedly said, flustered, "Master, I am nothing more than a pile of dung in front of you, I am trash. I was wrong before, I am a despicable, shameful wretch."
In the midst of speaking.
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
He began to slap his own face, one after another.
Zhao Danyan, previously scared to the point of incontinence, sobbed uncontrollably as she said, "I falsely accused you just now, Master, I am nothing but a lying wretch, you never would have had any interest in trash like me, neither before nor now."
Watching the likes of Zhang Chengzhou beg on their knees, Shen Feng had never intended to make them vanish from this world. He needed to head straight to The First People's Hospital, and he had no time to waste on these people. He spoke indifferently, "Zhang Chengzhou, didn't you have a particular fondness for cleaning toilets? You and your son both seem to enjoy it. Since that's the case, starting tomorrow, all of you will clean the toilets on the first floor of ZY Club."
"You two are no exception," Shen Feng looked over at Yang Li and Zhao Danyan.
Having said that.
Shen Feng left with Xu Dong and the others.
After watching Shen Feng leave, Wang Anxiong turned to Zhang Chengzhou and others, barking, "Count yourselves lucky to get away so lightly after offending the Master, otherwise I would have made you disappear from this world today."
"Remember, starting tomorrow, show up on time to clean at ZY Club's first floor. The Master is giving you a chance to start over. If you don't work properly, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Zhang Chengzhou and Zhang Pengtao felt an immense bitterness within. They were once arrogant, insisting on introducing Shen Feng to a toilet cleaning job at ZY Club; now, their entire family had become cleaners themselves, and they could not refuse. If they did refuse, they would quickly end up as corpses.
