The Confucian and Taoist Sages of Mortal Cultivation

"Is the Dragon's Roar Physique about to flare up again?"

Xin Ruyin's consciousness gradually became blurred, and just as she was about to fall into a coma, she felt a strong arm firmly holding her waist.

It's unknown how long he was unconscious.

Xin Ruyin slowly opened her eyes, but what came into view was a handsome man's face.

"this……"

Xin Ruyin was startled and hurriedly covered her chest. She sat up and realized that she had returned to her bed in her boudoir without her noticing.

Xiao Mei, who was standing nearby, was overjoyed to see her young mistress wake up and hurriedly said, "Miss, you're awake! You scared me so much just now."

"Luckily, this senior was there and carried you into the house in time."

Upon hearing that she had been embraced by a strange man, Xin Ruyin blushed instantly. She quickly raised her hand to smooth her hair at her temples and said softly, "Junior Xin Ruyin thanks Senior for driving away the Wang family."

"May I ask your honorable name, senior?"

Yang Qingyuan, with a gentle and refined scholarly demeanor and a smile on his lips, introduced himself, "My name is Yang Qingyuan. If Miss Ruyin doesn't mind, you can call me Brother Yang."

Seeing that Yang Qingyuan had no airs of a Foundation Establishment cultivator and was so approachable, Xin Ruyin couldn't help but feel a sense of goodwill towards him. She said, "Then I, Ruyin, will humbly address you as Brother Yang."

"Brother Yang must have come specifically to see Ruyin today, right?"

"Are you also here for the formation to open up the cave?"

Yang Qingyuan was very pleased to see that the other party was so intelligent and said, "That's right, I do need a formation."

Without the slightest hesitation, Xin Ruyin readily agreed, saying, "Please rest assured, Brother Yang, I have a great talent for formations and have mastered several rare ancient formations. I will definitely satisfy you."

But Xiao Mei, who was standing nearby, panicked when she heard this and said, "Miss, your Dragon Roar Physique is flaring up more and more frequently."

"The most urgent task right now is to cure the illness; we can't afford to be distracted by the formation."

"Otherwise, their lives would be in danger."

"Senior Yang, you are a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and your supernatural powers far surpass ours. Could you please save my young lady?"

When Xin Ruyin thought of the Dragon Roar Physique, her heart sank and her face turned pale.

"Don't panic, Miss Xiaomei. Let me diagnose you first." Upon hearing this, Yang Qingyuan reached out and grabbed Xin Ruyin's slender hand, holding her wrist.

This was the first time Xin Ruyin had ever been so intimate with a man, and her heart raced and her cheeks flushed.

"Huh? The meridians are severely withered."

Yang Qingyuan also looked grave, muttering, "Given Miss Ruyin's current condition, she probably won't live past ten years."

Upon hearing this, Xiaomei, who was standing nearby, trembled with fright and looked nervous.

Xin Ruyin, however, had anticipated this and remained calm. She took out a worn piece of cloth from her bosom and said, "I found an ancient elixir recipe in the market earlier, called 'Shunmai Dan' (Pulse-Regulating Pill)."

"This elixir can widen a cultivator's meridians and increase the upper limit of a cultivator's mana. It should also be able to cure the symptoms of withered meridians."

"But this Meridian-Regulating Pill requires a thousand-year-old spiritual herb as a medicinal guide."

"How could a mere Qi Refining stage cultivator like myself possibly have access to a thousand-year-old spiritual herb? I wonder if Brother Yang has any connections?"

Yang Qingyuan then took the prescription, examined it, and was quite surprised.

The effects of this Meridian-Smoothing Pill are actually to widen a cultivator's meridians, help them condense their magical power, and make their magical power exceed that of other cultivators of the same level by more than 20%.

"This Meridian-Smoothing Pill is quite peculiar." Yang Qingyuan pondered for a moment before explaining, "However, in my opinion, although this pill can resolve the symptoms of atrophied meridians, it only treats the symptoms and not the root cause, and it cannot cure the Dragon Roar Body at all."

"I suppose Miss Ruyin is aware that the so-called Dragon Roar Body is originally a male's constitution. When it appears in a female cultivator, it will inevitably cause an imbalance of Yin and Yang."

"One of the symptoms caused by the imbalance of Yin and Yang is the withering of the meridians."

"As long as the yin and yang energies in your body are not in balance, the meridians in your body will continue to wither."

"This Meridian-Regulating Pill can only prolong your life; it cannot cure the Dragon Roar Body at all."

Upon hearing this, Xin Ruyin was also terrified, her face turning pale. She gave a bitter laugh and said, "It seems that Heaven is determined to destroy me."

Xiao Mei, standing nearby, was also very nervous, with tears welling up in her eyes. She said to Yang Qingyuan, "Senior Yang, you must save Miss."

"You're a Foundation Establishment cultivator, you should know how to cure the Dragon Roar Physique, right?"

Yang Qingyuan nodded slightly and explained, "There are two methods. The first is to find a Nascent Soul cultivator to inject a stream of pure Yin energy into Miss Ruyin's body every once in a while to balance the Yang energy in her body."

"Of course, the auxiliary pills must also be taken in large quantities, and as the mana in the body improves, the pills taken will naturally become more and more precious."

Upon hearing this, Xin Ruyin smiled wryly and replied, "Brother Yang is joking."

"Ruyin is merely a rogue cultivator; how could she allow a Nascent Soul cultivator to sacrifice his own power to balance my Yin and Yang energies?"

"What about the second method?" Xiaomei stared intently at Yang Qingyuan.

Yang Qingyuan continued, "In the cultivation world, there are some extremely rare Yin-attribute treasures."

"These Yin-attribute treasures can help female cultivators cleanse their meridians and improve their physique, such as the Phoenix Essence of the level ten great demon Ice Phoenix."

Upon hearing this, Xin Ruyin's expression turned even more grim. She gave a bitter laugh and said, "A level ten great demon, the Ice Phoenix?"

"Putting aside the fact that there are no traces of transformed demons in Yuanwu Kingdom anymore, even if there really is an Ice Phoenix, how could it possibly give me a single drop of Phoenix Essence?"

"Beautiful women have always had tragic fates, it seems that God is still not willing to let me go."

Xiao Mei, who was standing next to her, had tears in her eyes and said, "Miss, don't say such discouraging things."

There must be a way.

"There must be a way..."

Yang Qingyuan pondered for a moment, then turned to the burly man in the corner of the boudoir who was working at the weapon-refining shop, and instructed him, "Go back to the shop and wait for me."

Upon hearing this, the burly man was taken aback for a moment, but dared not refuse. He bowed repeatedly, left the room, and closed the door behind him.

Yang Qingyuan then cast a soundproofing spell, condensing a pale silver shield that enveloped the three people present.

Seeing Yang Qingyuan's caution, Xin Ruyin knew that what he was about to say was no small matter and must be related to the Dragon Roar Physique. She couldn't help but show an eager look in her eyes.

"To be honest, Miss Ruyin," Yang Qingyuan said, taking out a cyan jade box from his storage bag, "inside the box is a thousand-year-old spiritual herb, the Phoenix Blood Flower."

"This Phoenix Blood Flower was nourished by the Phoenix Essence of a transformed Ice Phoenix. Even if it cannot completely resolve the side effects of the Dragon Roar Body, it can alleviate the symptoms of this Yin-Yang imbalance. It should last for at least three or four hundred years without any problem."

"I am willing to give this Phoenix Blood Flower to Miss Ruyin to cure her illness."

Upon hearing this, both Xin Ruyin and Xiao Mei were deeply moved.

"Millennial Phoenix Blood Grass! This is a treasure that even Core Formation cultivators and Nascent Soul elders would fight over." Xin Ruyin asked incredulously, "Senior, are you really willing to use this medicine on me?"

"Such immense kindness and virtue, even if I were to be shattered to pieces, I could never repay it..."
