Chapter 1197 - 1194: Nine Yin Spirit Meridian (Part 2)
Feng'er had been cultivating for over a century and had never seen a woman's body; looking at the towering place on Ye Ling's chest, he suddenly felt a reaction in his heart.
This reaction was something he had never experienced before, only feeling a fire in his heart, a dry mouth, and a desire to touch them.
But Feng'er didn't dare; he took a deep breath, reluctantly moved his gaze away from Ye Ling's chest, put Ye Ling down, and took off his own coat to cover Ye Ling's bare upper body.
Ye Ling was clearly drugged; this was evident from Ye Ling's steady breathing.
Feng'er stared at Ye Ling for a few more minutes, and by then, the eastern sky was already slightly bright. He remembered that Lin Chuan was still waiting for him at Hangu Pass, so he picked up Ye Ling, and, with a flash of light beneath his feet, headed towards Hangu Pass.
By the time he reached Hangu Pass, it was already daylight. By then, Lin Chuan and Feng Lingfeng were no longer leaning against each other; they stood outside the Demon Suppression Array.
The entire Demon Suppression Array had returned to its original state, and those huge rocks seemed to have returned to their previous positions, yet Feng Lingfeng still felt something was off.
When she and Lin Chuan arrived at Hangu Pass, these huge rocks should have been in the east, west, south, and north positions, and the rock deviating from the center should have been in the southeast position.
After thinking it over, Feng Lingfeng finally realized what was off; the rock in the southeast position had moved to the position in the east and west.
Although she felt something was off, the two of them did not dare to enter the Demon Suppression Array rashly; if they carelessly rushed in and triggered the activation of the Array, it would definitely not be worth it.
As they were watching, a flash of light came from the sky, and Feng'er landed down.
Although Lin Chuan had only known Feng'er for less than a day, Lin Chuan trusted Feng'er a lot, and even Lin Chuan himself couldn't quite understand why—perhaps because Feng'er seemed very pure.
Seeing Feng'er arrive, Lin Chuan and Feng Lingfeng both went up to greet him, but then they saw him holding a girl in his arms and were both shocked.
"Feng'er, what's going on?" Lin Chuan asked, looking at Ye Ling in Feng'er's arms.
Feng'er recounted what had happened to him the night before to Lin Chuan and Feng Lingfeng, and after listening, the two were both amazed; they never expected there to be such a Taoist temple in Kunlun Mountain.
Amazement aside, when Feng Lingfeng heard Feng'er mention that this girl had a Nine Spirits Yin Vein in her body, she couldn't help but walk up to Feng'er and take a closer look.
Feng'er found a clean place to lay Ye Ling down, and Feng Lingfeng checked Ye Ling's breathing, saying, "She was knocked out by some kind of drug. Lin Chuan, go find some cold water."
There was no water around Hangu Pass, so Lin Chuan had to run quite far to find a small puddle and bring back some cold water.
Feng Lingfeng splashed all the cold water onto Ye Ling's face, and, after a moment, Ye Ling let out a low moan and woke up.
As soon as Ye Ling woke up, she let out a loud "ah" and sat up, looking at the three of them in surprise. When she saw Feng'er, she exclaimed again, saying, "How did I end up here? What is this place?"
Before Lin Chuan and the others could answer, Ye Ling suddenly felt a chilly sensation in her upper body. She looked down and saw that her clothes had been torn at some point, exposing her full chest. She immediately screamed and covered her chest with her hands.
Initially, Feng'er's clothes were covering Ye Ling's body. When Ye Ling woke up and stood up suddenly, Feng'er's clothes fell off, resulting in the current situation.
Seeing Ye Ling's terrified expression, Feng Lingfeng hurriedly picked up Feng'er's coat and draped it over Ye Ling, saying, "Miss, don't be afraid. He saved you last night and brought you here."
Ye Ling still had a terrified expression, holding her clothes tightly, afraid they would fall off again, exposing herself to these strangers.
After Feng Lingfeng reintroduced them in detail, Ye Ling finally understood that these three people were not bad guys, and Feng'er had saved her twice. Thinking about how this fellow had seen her body, her pretty face couldn't help but flush red.
There are very few women in the world with a Nine Spirits Yin Vein. The Nine Spirits Yin Vein refers to a woman born during the Yin hour, the time of day when Yin Energy is strongest.
In the Five Elements, a day is divided into twelve hours, and the Yin hour is at midnight, the time when Yin Energy is strongest.
Being born precisely at zero hour is not enough; it must also be the Geng Yin year and Yin month.
In the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams, twelve years make up one cycle, and the Geng Yin year is the Year of the Tiger. The tiger itself carries the demeanor of a king, known as the king of all beasts, and each year's twelve months are divided into twelve heavenly stems and earthly branches, with the Yin month being the first lunar month of each year.
Those with a Nine Spirits Yin Vein must be born at the Yin hour, Yin month, and Geng Yin year, which fortunetellers refer to as "zero hour girls."
Because girls born at this time absorb the pure Yin energy of heaven and earth from birth, their pulse manifests differently from ordinary people.
Women with the Nine-Spirit Yin Vein usually don't live past twenty-five. The reasons for this are rather complex, so let's not dwell on it here.
However, to cultivators, such women are treasures. The Nine-Spirit Yin Vein gathers the pure yin energy of the heavens and earth, and if a cultivator can absorb this pure yin energy, it can greatly reduce the excess yang energy and the desires that arise during cultivation.
Generally, the most direct way to absorb this pure yin energy is to unite with a woman who has this vein pattern, using one's cultivated inner qi to absorb the pure yang qi into one's body.
After uniting, the cultivator absorbs the pure yin energy from the Nine-Spirit Yin Vein, and the woman's fate will be death.
The man in the Taoist temple noticed the Nine-Spirit Yin Vein in Ye Ling's body and wanted to absorb the pure yin energy to enhance his cultivation, but he was just too unlucky to have encountered Feng'er.
Feng Lingfeng, being a cultivator, naturally knew of the Nine-Spirit Yin Vein. After calming Ye Ling down, she personally examined Ye Ling's vein pattern.
Feng'er was not wrong. Ye Ling indeed possessed the Nine-Spirit Yin Vein.
"Feng'er, I have a task for you," Feng Lingfeng said, looking at Feng'er. "This girl is very dangerous here in Kunlun Mountain. Can you take her back first?"
Feng Lingfeng was right. Many cultivators were hidden deep in Kunlun Mountain. To these people, Ye Ling would be a treasure, all scrambling to have her once discovered.
Upon hearing Feng Lingfeng's words, Feng'er hesitated a bit and said, "Well, my master sent me down the mountain to find Tian Mang. I want to follow Tian Mang."
Lin Chuan laughed and said, "Feng'er, you can find me in Kunlun Mountain after you've taken her back. Moreover, we have the secret communication of Tianyin. You can naturally find me once you contact me in Kunlun Mountain through it."
Feng'er frowned, glanced at Ye Ling, and found that Ye Ling was looking at him too, with a hint of hope in her eyes. He couldn't help but nod and say, "Alright, I'll take her back."
Upon hearing Feng'er agree, Ye Ling's face didn't show much, but her eyes were filled with joy.
Feng Lingfeng glanced at Feng'er, then at Ye Ling, and with a thought, said softly to Lin Chuan, "Lin Chuan, come here a moment. I have something to tell you."
Lin Chuan was slightly taken aback, followed Feng Lingfeng aside, and said, "Sister Lingfeng, what's the matter?"
Feng Lingfeng swept her gaze over Feng'er and Ye Ling, her own face suddenly turning red, and said hesitantly, "Lin Chuan, this girl with the Nine-Spirit Yin Vein won't live past twenty-five. Feng'er might be her only chance of survival."
Lin Chuan looked at Feng Lingfeng in astonishment and said, "Sister Lingfeng, how can Feng'er save her?"
Feng Lingfeng's face was as red as an apple, not daring to meet Lin Chuan's gaze, and she said softly, "Feng'er practices the mental method of the Kunlun lineage. It's not very aggressive. As long as the two can, well, that, they can complement each other in yin and yang, and help the girl clear her blocked meridians."
Lin Chuan didn't understand for a moment what Feng Lingfeng meant by 'that', so he curiously asked, "Sister Lingfeng, what do you mean by 'that' exactly?"
Feng Lingfeng looked shy, and after a long time, she said, "That means that. How can you not understand?"
Seeing the bashfulness on Feng Lingfeng's exquisite face, Lin Chuan suddenly understood. But he still pretended not to understand and said, "Sister Lingfeng, you should explain it clearly. I really don't understand."
Feng Lingfeng blushed and gave Lin Chuan a sidelong glance, then caught a slight smile at Lin Chuan's eye, panicked, and no longer dared to look at him. She lowered her head and said very quietly, "It means for Feng'er to unite with that girl."
After saying this, Feng Lingfeng's heart pounded wildly, her heart almost about to leap out of her body.
Seeing Feng Lingfeng in such a state, a surge of fire inexplicably rose within Lin Chuan's heart, and he blurted out, "Sister Lingfeng, I wonder when I might have the same chance with you."
As soon as he said it, Lin Chuan regretted it. What was he thinking, to say such a thing to Feng Lingfeng?
Feng Lingfeng was equally startled by Lin Chuan's words, her face turning even redder, lowering her head as if she could crawl into a hole in the ground.
Lin Chuan thought Feng Lingfeng would be angry, and he dared not look at her. Embarrassed, he quickly turned and walked over to Feng'er and Ye Ling.
When he reached Feng'er, Lin Chuan called her aside and repeated what Feng Lingfeng had said to him.
Feng'er listened to Lin Chuan's words, staring at him in amazement, unable to speak for a long time.
It's understandable that Feng'er would have such an expression; such a matter is unbelievable for anyone involved.
