Chapter 72: Chapter 72 My heart will always belong to you alone

Shen Lingdie looked at Su Qingyan with innocent eyes, "Is that not okay?"

Su Qingyan maintained her composure, "He isn’t my boyfriend. If you want to find him, it’s none of my business."

Shen Lingdie then looked toward Chen Fan, "Is it okay?"

Chen Fan sneakily glanced at Su Qingyan, feeling greatly pressured, "What... what’s it about?"

Shen Lingdie leaned over to Chen Fan’s ear and whispered something.

Su Qingyan pretended not to care, but still pricked up her ears and leaned in their direction.

After listening, Chen Fan nodded, "Okay, I’ll go with you tomorrow."

Shen Lingdie looked at Su Qingyan, "Don’t tell this woman, it’s our secret."

Chen Fan couldn’t help but laugh and cry, thinking are you trying to provoke Qingyan’s feelings? Although you look naive, why do I get the feeling that you’re up to something sneaky?

Su Qingyan raised her head with disdain, "Pfft, as if I want to know. Anyway, I don’t care about this guy."

Shen Lingdie stared at Su Qingyan, "Why emphasize the second half of that sentence?"

Su Qingyan, frustrated at being seen through, retorted angrily, "You’re so annoying!"

Shen Lingdie’s lips curled up, revealing a smug smile.

This was the first time Chen Fan had seen a second expression on Shen Lingdie’s face.

"Ahem, well then, if there’s nothing else, I should be going," Chen Fan said somewhat awkwardly, his instincts telling him that in such a situation, beating a hasty retreat was absolutely the best choice.

Su Qingyan glared at him, "Just go already!"

"You two are good sisters. Try to live in harmony, okay?" Chen Fan chuckled and quickly left Golden Lake Villa.

He hadn’t been gone long when he received a barrage of texts from Su Qingyan.

"What does Shen Lingdie want with you tomorrow?"

"Is she trying to ask you out on a date?"

"Where have you planned to go?"

"Does she have feelings for you?"

...

Chen Fan, unable to stop a mixture of laughter and tears, replied to Su Qingyan: "She just wants me to help treat someone tomorrow, don’t get too excited."

Su Qingyan immediately shot back another message: "Who’s excited? I’m just curious."

Chen Fan thought for a moment, then replied: "My heart will always have only you in it."

Su Qingyan was silent for a long time before finally sending two words: "Cheesy."

Looking at the response, Chen Fan smiled happily.

Back at Hillside Villa.

Chen Fan began to seriously comb through the Inheritance Record.

Before long, he discovered that in the Cultivation World, there were indeed many cases of ordinary people who, through deep study in a particular field, one day attained enlightenment and became saints.

One of these was a Painting Saint who devoted himself to the art of painting for nearly a hundred years, then one day became enlightened. Heaven and Earth celebrated, and he was infused with Spiritual Energy. In a single day, he went from being an ordinary person to a cultivator who could traverse heaven and earth.

This Painting Saint left behind the "Three Hundred Volumes of the Art of Painting" for later generations to copy and ponder.

Shen Lingdie’s thoughts were pure, her state of mind ethereal, and she was already on the verge of enlightenment. That’s why the things she painted produced fluctuations of Spiritual Energy.

If she had the chance to step onto the path of cultivation, her progress would likely be terrifyingly fast.

This was the benefit of an improved state of mind.

Chen Fan wanted to use this method to enhance his own state of mind and thereby accelerate his cultivation.

Of course, Earth was different from the Cultivation World; miracles like being infused with Spiritual Energy wouldn’t happen.

However, as long as Chen Fan could raise his state of mind, all that would be left was to accumulate power within his body using Formation, Spiritual Medicine, and Heaven and Earth Treasures, making it easy to break through without fear of hitting a bottleneck.

Without hesitation, he immediately took out the "Three Hundred Volumes of the Art of Painting" and began to engage with it.

Shortly after, Chen Fan gathered some paper and painting tools and began to paint.

He had never learned to paint.

But with the learning speed of a cultivator and the power of the "Three Hundred Volumes of the Art of Painting", his first attempt at painting had already surpassed many so-called masters.

Before long, a complete landscape painting appeared on the paper.

Chen Fan markedly felt his state of mind had solidified quite a bit.

"I didn’t expect it to really work!"

The state of mind and strength complement each other; often, the level of one’s state of mind determines how far they can go on the path of cultivation.

Without wasting time, Chen Fan quickly began working on the second painting.

The night passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Fan finished four complete paintings, majestic and imposing.

"If I’m not mistaken, I should have reached the Enlightened Intent state mentioned in the ’Three Hundred Volumes of the Art of Painting’. Just one night and my state of mind has improved so much, truly terrifying."

The so-called Enlightened Intent is the starting level of the four major states of mind, followed by Enlightened Heart, Daoist Natural Law, and Unity of Heaven and Man.

If Chen Fan could reach the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, his cultivation path would be unobstructed, and any cultivation bottleneck would dissipate like smoke in his eyes.

Standing up and stretching, Chen Fan was filled with confidence about his future, "Qingyan, I will surely become an unparalleled powerhouse in this era and marry you into the sect."

At that moment, his cellphone received a message.

Shen Lingdie: "Gather."

It was followed by a location.

Chen Fan looked at his cellphone and laughed, "This girl really is interesting."

Half an hour later.

At the entrance of Sunshine Welfare Institute in Jiang City.

Chen Fan followed Shen Lingdie inside.

A group of children ran over with joyful faces, surrounding Shen Lingdie.

"Sister Die! Sister Die!"

"We missed you so much, Sister Die!"

Shen Lingdie distributed the candies she had prepared in advance to the children, "Keep it down, don’t disturb Nuonuo’s rest."

The children immediately quieted down, their faces showing signs of distress.

"Sister Die, Nuonuo has been lying there for two months now. The dean said she can’t eat anymore. Is she going to leave us?" one child asked sadly.

Shen Lingdie patted the child’s head, "Nuonuo will be okay."

Then she turned to look at Chen Fan, "I brought a doctor."

The children all widened their eyes, curiously crowding around Chen Fan.

"Doctor Brother, can you really cure Nuonuo’s disease?" the child from before asked.

Chen Fan showed a smile, "Brother needs to see what sickness Nuonuo has first."

At this moment, a woman with white-flecked hair and a thin face approached.

She was the dean of the welfare institute, Guo Sujuan.

"Die, you came to see the children again," Guo Sujuan expressed with a kind smile on her face.

Shen Lingdie pointed to Chen Fan, "Dean Guo, I brought him to treat Nuonuo."

Guo Sujuan looked at Chen Fan in surprise, but soon sighed, "Die, it’s no use. So many experienced doctors were helpless, a young doctor is even less likely to have a way."

Chen Fan stepped forward, "Dean Guo, let me try first."

Guo Sujuan looked resigned but nodded, "Come in."

Chen Fan and Shen Lingdie followed Guo Sujuan into a room inside, leaving the children outside.

On the bed, a little girl looked pale, her breath was weak, and she was hooked up to a breathing machine. The equipment beside her showed her extremely faint heartbeat.

Seeing the little girl, Guo Sujuan’s eyes reddened, and she couldn’t help feeling heartache, "Nuonuo is the most well-behaved child here. Abandoned by her parents at a young age because of congenital heart failure, she grew up in the welfare institute. She’s always been optimistic and cheerful, the joy of the institute, but God is unfair..."

Guo Sujuan paused, overcome with emotion, took a deep breath, "Nuonuo’s heart has failed to the limit; she hasn’t got many days left to live unless there is a chance for a heart transplant, but the cost..."

Chen Fan interrupted her after observing the little girl for a moment, "It’s not necessary to replace the heart, I can cure her!"
