I Just Wanted to Teach Cultivation, But Goddesses Keep Coming!

Chapter 650: Chapter 650 The Ancient Prophecy Was Just a Drunken Ancestor’s Bad Joke

A few breaths later, the two figures reappeared away from the eyes of everyone.

Azure Dragon King looked completely different from when he had first arrived.

The oppressive death qi that had once surrounded him was gone, his breathing was steady, and even his posture appeared straighter.

More importantly, there was a profound vitality hidden within his eyes.

The old man looked at Lin Feng for a long moment before suddenly cupping his fists deeply.

”Medicine King Lin Feng!”

His voice carried genuine gratitude.

”Thank you! Thank you for saving this old man’s life!”

Azure Dragon King bowed deeply.

”I have suffered from these injuries for so many years. I had already accepted that I would eventually die with this pain accompanying me into the grave. Yet you have given me another chance at life.”

His expression became solemn.

”If there is anything you want from me, please tell me.”

He paused before continuing sincerely.

”I may not possess anything that can truly impress someone of your status, but whatever I can do, I will do it.”

Azure Dragon King wasn’t being humble.

He genuinely felt that way.

After all, what could he possibly offer Lin Feng?

Treasure?

Lin Feng had demonstrated medical abilities that bordered on the miraculous.

Rare pills?

Lin Feng was already known throughout the cultivation world as the Medicine King.

Techniques?

Who knew how many ancient inheritances Lin Feng possessed?

Even his own cultivation might not be enough to impress Lin Feng.

For an existence capable of pulling someone back from the very brink of death, ordinary treasures seemed almost meaningless.

Still, Azure Dragon King wanted to repay this enormous debt.

He had lived for millions of years and understood one principle better than most.

A favor could be repaid with treasures, but a life saving favor could never be treated lightly.

If Lin Feng asked him to do something, Azure Dragon King would at least give it serious consideration.

Lin Feng looked at the old man and smiled.

”Senior Azure Dragon King, you don’t need to be so formal.”

Azure Dragon King’s expression became even more solemn.

”No.”

He shook his head.

”This old man may have lived for a long time, but I know the weight of a life saving favor.”

His gaze became firm.

”Whatever you need, simply ask.”

Medicine King Lin Feng had not merely healed a dying ancient powerhouse.

He had potentially gained the gratitude and perhaps the future assistance of this old man.

”There’s no need to say such things, Senior Azure Dragon King,” Lin Feng replied calmly. ”I helped because I could. I have no need for gifts, treasures, or pledges.”

He stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm and indifferent, giving him the bearing of a true master who had long since looked beyond worldly possessions.

”You are a true hero of this continent. Countless people are alive today because of the battles you fought and the sacrifices you made. This continent and its people owe you far more than they could ever repay.”

Lin Feng smiled faintly.

”Healing you is merely the least I could do.”

”...”

Azure Dragon King fell silent.

His old eyes looked at Lin Feng with a complicated mixture of admiration, gratitude, and respect.

He had lived for millions of years and had encountered countless powerful cultivators.

He had also met people who possessed great strength but were arrogant, selfish, and unwilling to lift a finger unless they received something in return.

Lin Feng was different.

Not only had he healed him from an illness that had tormented him for millions of years, but he had done so without asking for a single treasure or favor.

Azure Dragon King couldn’t help but think even more highly of him.

He secretly tried to probe Lin Feng’s cultivation once again.

Yet the result remained the same.

Nothing.

It was as though Lin Feng were an unfathomable abyss whose depths couldn’t be reached no matter how powerful his divine sense was.

Azure Dragon King eventually gave up.

There was no point trying to measure someone whose strength was clearly beyond his understanding.

Instead, his expression gradually became serious.

”Medicine King Lin Feng, it has been a very long time since the invaders from the other continents last appeared.”

His voice became solemn.

”History has a habit of repeating itself. They will come again someday.”

The moment he mentioned the invaders, a trace of killing intent flashed through his ancient eyes.

Those invaders were the reason he had suffered his terrible injuries in the first place.

That battle had nearly cost him his life.

Countless companions had fallen beside him, and even after millions of years, the memories had never completely faded.

Lin Feng wasn’t surprised.

”I know.”

He looked toward the distant horizon.

”When the pig becomes fat, that’s usually when someone starts thinking about harvesting it.”

A faint smile appeared on his face.

”But it doesn’t matter.”

Lin Feng turned his attention back toward the old man.

”You’re already healed, Senior Azure Dragon King.”

His voice was calm, yet there was an undeniable confidence within it.

”When those invaders return, they’ll once again learn what your fists are capable of.”

”Hahaha!”

Azure Dragon King laughed loudly.

”You think too highly of this old man.”

The laughter gradually faded.

”I barely survived that war. If not for luck, I would have died alongside the others.”

His expression became solemn as he looked into the distance.

For a moment, the ancient powerhouse who had once shaken entire continents seemed to become nothing more than an old man remembering the people he had lost.

Friends.

Comrades.

Disciples.

Millions of years had passed, yet some wounds were never truly healed.

Azure Dragon King clenched his fists.

”I survived,” he murmured, ”but too many others didn’t.”

Lin Feng remained silent.

He could see the enormous karma accumulated around Azure Dragon King, but unlike those who had gained karma through selfish deeds, the old man’s karma was overwhelmingly connected to the countless lives he had protected.

Perhaps that was why Lin Feng had been willing to help him without asking for anything in return.

A true hero was rare.

And heroes deserved to be given a chance to continue living.

”When that time comes, will you help us, Medicine King Lin Feng?”

Azure Dragon King’s voice was unusually serious.

The old man’s eyes carried a trace of hope as he looked at Lin Feng.

He didn’t know Lin Feng’s true origins, nor could he determine the full extent of his cultivation.

Every attempt to sense Lin Feng’s strength had ended in failure.

Still, Azure Dragon King had his own judgment.

Based on what he had witnessed, he believed that Lin Feng’s strength was at least an entire major realm above his own.

And that was already an astonishing conclusion.

After all, Azure Dragon King had once stood at the peak of this continent.

Even in his weakened state, he remained one of the most terrifying ancient cultivators alive.

Yet Lin Feng had healed him with such ease.

His medical abilities were practically miraculous.

If someone possessed such terrifying healing abilities while also remaining completely unfathomable to his divine sense, Azure Dragon King’s only reasonable conclusion was that Lin Feng’s true strength was equally extraordinary.

For the first time in many millions of years, Azure Dragon King felt that perhaps the continent had gained another powerful guardian.

Lin Feng looked at the old man for a moment before smiling.

”I will.”

The answer was simple and decisive.

”This continent is my home as well.”

Lin Feng turned his gaze toward the distant horizon.

”I may not have been able to participate in the previous wars, and I wasn’t here when you and the others fought those invaders.”

His expression became slightly more solemn.

”But if someone dares to invade our land again, I will certainly lend a hand.”

Azure Dragon King’s eyes brightened.

”Good!”

His aged face finally revealed a genuine smile.

”Having you with us will give this old man much more confidence.”

Lin Feng chuckled.

”Don’t worry, Senior Azure Dragon King. You already survived the last war. This time, you won’t have to fight alone.”

Azure Dragon King stared at him for a moment before laughing heartily.

”Hahaha! Then I suppose this old man’s luck isn’t quite finished yet!”

The laughter echoed through the surroundings.

For the first time since his arrival, the ancient dragon king felt that the future might not be as bleak as he had once believed.

Azure Dragon King smiled, and the solemn expression on his ancient face finally softened.

He took a step forward and then bowed deeply toward Lin Feng.

”Then, on behalf of this land and its people, I thank you, Medicine King Lin Feng, for everything you have done.”

His voice was filled with sincerity.

”You have not only saved this old man’s life today, but you have also given countless people another reason to hope for the future.”

Azure Dragon King straightened slowly, his eyes shining with determination.

”If the invaders truly return one day, I will gladly stand beside you and fight once more. I may be old, and I may have already walked through countless battles, but as long as this continent still needs me, these old bones can still fight.”

Lin Feng smiled.

”Then I look forward to fighting alongside you, Senior.”

”Hahaha! Good!”

Azure Dragon King laughed heartily.

”Medicine King Lin Feng, remember your words. The day those invaders return, this old man will come looking for you!”

With those final words, Azure Dragon King clasped his fists one last time.

Then his figure blurred.

Whoosh!

In the next instant, the ancient powerhouse disappeared into the horizon, leaving behind only a faint ripple in space.

Lin Feng watched him leave with a faint smile.

”It’s good to see that old heroes still have some fire left in them.”

He shook his head before turning back toward his courtyard.

The commotion outside was already beginning to settle, but Lin Feng knew that today’s events would not be forgotten anytime soon.

The Medicine King had not only healed a dying ancient powerhouse.

He had gained an ally who had once fought to protect the entire continent.
