Chapter 74: Xin Ruyin's Method of Salvation

The Dragon Chant Constitution is a male body mistakenly born as a female; if one forces themselves to cultivate immortality, the meridians within the body will gradually become misaligned and atrophy, and their lifespan will also be greatly reduced.

Originally, Xin Ruyin's Master did not intend to let Xin Ruyin continue to cultivate immortality, but although Xin Ruyin was young, she was exceptionally stubborn and also yearned for the spells and divine abilities of immortal cultivators.

Therefore, she disregarded the dissuasion and practiced forcibly; coupled with the fact that Xin Ruyin's talent for formations truly left Xin Ruyin's Master in awe, and added to Yan Taibai's promise, he ultimately chose to acquiesce.

He was also searching for a method to resolve it, and during this period, he relied even more on the token Yan Taibai gave him to consult various classics within the Yanyue Sect, looking for a way to resolve the Dragon Chant Constitution.

Yet he still underestimated the Dragon Chant Constitution; no sooner had Xin Ruyin broken through to the third level of Qi Refining than she fell into a coma directly because the meridians in her body began to atrophy and the yin and yang energies became unbalanced.

And just as Xin Ruyin's Master was intending to find Yan Taibai, he did not expect that Yan Taibai would take the initiative to come to him.

"Does the Senior mean that you want me to ask my Martial Uncle to come out of seclusion and inject a strand of yin energy into Ruyan's body, so that Ruyan can temporarily avoid the suffering of yin-yang imbalance and meridian atrophy?"

Although he had long promised to help, Yan Taibai still showed a look of difficulty upon hearing this request.

After all, his Martial Uncle, the Great Elder of the Masked Moon Sect, was currently in seclusion cultivating, and it was impossible for her to come out of seclusion just for a Xin Ruyin.

Moreover, he was unable to contact this Martial Uncle, the Great Elder of the Masked Moon Sect.

Within the entire Yanyue Sect, those who could contact the Great Elder of the Masked Moon Sect could be counted on one's fingers.

Nangong Wan was one of them!

So?

Yan Taibai understood!

"Does the Senior mean that you want me to open my mouth and ask Senior Sister Nangong to come forward and request the Martial Uncle to come out of seclusion?"

In total, he was just a "middleman."

"Correct, at the moment, this is the only way, so can you help, fellow Daoist?"

Xin Ruyin's Master nodded with a bitter smile and requested.

"I am afraid this cannot be done. It is not that I am unwilling to speak, but even if the Martial Uncle knew, she would not come out of seclusion; instead, we would all have to bear the Martial Uncle's wrath and punishment. So this favor, this junior truly cannot help with."

"This junior previously only promised that I would help speak once the Martial Uncle came out of seclusion. Now, I truly cannot do it."

Yan Taibai shook his head and refused.

"If that is the case, even if Ruyan can get through this time, she will have to endure such pain from time to time in the future."

Xin Ruyin's Master's expression was exceptionally sad and ugly as he said this.

"Has the Senior been searching through classics for so long, yet still found nothing?"

Yan Taibai remembered that Xin Ruyin later still obtained a pill formula, and also knew that several-hundred-year or thousand-year-old spiritual herbs could alleviate the Dragon Chant Constitution.

"It is not that there were no gains, but it requires miraculous pills for replenishing vital energy and repairing the spirit, refined from several-hundred-year-old or even thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. But for spiritual herbs of this level, let alone now, even in the past, it was not an easy matter for this old man to obtain them."

Upon hearing this, Xin Ruyin's Master's expression looked a bit better, and his gaze looked toward Yan Taibai with a hint of hope.

With the status of Qiong Laoguai and Nangong Wan, they might have several-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs in their cave abodes.

And this matter could only be accomplished if Yan Taibai spoke up; this was also his true goal.

He had never hoped that the Great Elder of the Masked Moon Sect would come out of seclusion to treat Xin Ruyin. All he needed was several-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs.

Likewise, after listening to Xin Ruyin's Master's words, Yan Taibai already understood in his heart and nodded, saying.

"Fine, leave the matter of the several-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs to me. I will go find Senior Sister Nangong; even if she does not have them, with so many Golden Core Stage Cultivators in the Yanyue Sect, someone will surely have them."

"Many thanks, fellow Daoist; this old man is deeply grateful."

Seeing this, Xin Ruyin's Master finally let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed to thank him.

"Senior is too polite."

Seeing this, Yan Taibai hurriedly returned the salute. No matter how Xin Ruyin's Master was now, he was still a Golden Core Stage Cultivator after all, and was originally a master of formations; no matter where he was, his status was higher than his own, not lower.

It was just that, in the current situation, he could not expose his identity, lest he attract past enemies and face a fatal disaster.

"Senior, please wait a moment; this junior takes his leave."

After Yan Taibai finished speaking, he set off and left, heading toward Nishang Xianzi's cave abode.

Because Yan Ruyan had secretly told him that in the medicine garden of Nishang Xianzi's cave abode, several several-hundred-year-old heaven and earth spiritual herbs were planted, all obtained by Yanyue Sect Qi Refining Stage disciples from the Blood Forbidden Land.

And as the person leading the team, it was not a difficult matter for Nishang Xianzi to ask for a few several-hundred-year-old heaven and earth spiritual herbs.

After all, similar things happened later on, and every sect had them each time.

As for why he did not use the "Geng Metal True Qi" to treat Xin Ruyin.

First, the attributes did not match; the metal attribute itself belongs to "yang," and Xin Ruyin's condition was caused by having too much yang energy, leading to an imbalance of yin and yang.

Second, Yan Taibai was not confident; the "White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash" was not omnipotent. Letting him run away or kill people was absolutely top-notch.

But if it were to save someone, it was purely a matter of luck; Yan Ruyan's father was just lucky.

Xin Ruyin was not!

Nishang Xianzi was quite surprised by Yan Taibai's arrival, because Yan Ruyan was not in her cave abode right now.

Instead, she was staying in Nangong Wan's cave abode cultivating with Yan Taibai.

Regarding this, she, as the master, was also quite helpless, always feeling that her own disciple had been snatched away.

Not quite!

Her own disciple was originally someone else's little wife and fiancée.

"Junior Brother Taibai, how do you have the time to visit Senior Sister today?"

After taking their seats as host and guest in the cave abode's hall, Nishang Xianzi asked with her red lips slightly parted.

"This junior has come this time with an ungracious request, and I hope Senior Sister Nishang can agree?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Taibai did not stand on ceremony and asked straightforwardly.

"Since it is an ungracious request, then do not speak it."

Nishang Xianzi's peach-blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and she giggled meaningfully.

These words caused the expression on Yan Taibai's face to stiffen immediately.

He paused for a moment, only able to rub his nose, unsure whether he should continue speaking.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was incredibly awkward!

"Pfft!"

Seeing this, Nishang Xianzi could not help but cover her mouth and giggle.

"Alright, I'm just teasing you. If there is anything, just say it directly; if it is something I can do, this Senior Sister will absolutely not refuse."

"This younger brother thanks Senior Sister Nishang."

"Actually, the matter is not very big, it is just a bit difficult?"

Speaking up to this point, Yan Taibai paused again, looked at Nishang Xianzi, whose expression had not changed, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and continue.

"Actually, this younger brother has a good friend who is suffering from a severe illness and requires a medicinal pill refined from a multi-hundred-year-old spiritual herb to alleviate it. This younger brother heard from Yan'er that Senior Sister has several multi-hundred-year-old heaven and earth spiritual herbs in the medicine garden of your immortal cave, so I would like to request one. Of course, this younger brother will not let Senior Sister suffer a loss; Spirit Stones, materials, or other things, Senior Sister just needs to speak up, and this younger brother will absolutely not refuse."

After finishing, Yan Taibai breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyes remained fixed on Nishang Xianzi, whose smile had faded from her jade-like face, and he became nervous again.
