54 Are You A Man? (1/2)
Wenren Chuchu spoke coldly, ”How could the Land of Han-Yang deserve such a marvelous martial art!”
Ye Xiao indifferently replied, ”If the technique Lady Chuchu is cultivating is unluckily the same one as the person that you are trying to save, then you will face the same problem yourself in the future...”
The Xiao Monarch suddenly started to thoroughly inspect her body from head to toe.
Wenren Chuchu felt her hair stand on end, as though his eyes had unscrupulously stripped off all of her clothes. She shouted, completely enraged, ”What are you looking at?”
”Looking at your body's... current condition... Hmmm. Lady Chuchu's strength, Jing and Mai, and bones... You're truly a martial arts prodigy rarely seen even in a thousand years. And, the most uncommon thing about you is... that you have a pure Yin female body.”
Ye Xiao praised unabashedly, ”You're truly a brilliant talent.”
Wenren Chuchu was furious with him for his shameless gaze, but she was also shocked at the same time, [He... can actually see through my martial potential and natural endowment!]
”But it is a pity that...” Ye Xiao said, ”The better your endowment and the better your talent, the faster your martial art will upgrade during cultivation. When it upgrades faster, it also means that you are dying faster. I really don't know whether I should congratulate you or...”
Wenren Chuchu was completely speechless.
[Does this guy... even know how to talk?]
Wenren Chuchu's expression was frigid as ice. Without even the trace of a smile, she spoke blandly, ”Brother Feng, there is only one thing that I want to hear from your mouth... Do you truly have a practical solution or not?”
What she meant was ”I am not here to listen to your words about me dying early”.
”Why can't you be patient? I am currently explaining the solution to you, am I not? How can I make you understand the solution without explaining the problem clearly? Fine. Let's put it in a simple way. The solution mostly depends on the martial art that I am cultivating.” Ye Xiao spoke peacefully, ”I am a dan-maker, and the fire I use to make dan is totally different from the others. For that reason, I can make the legendary supreme dan... And my fire, which exists in the dan-makers' myth, is the Purple Sky-fire!”
”The Purple Sky-fire?” Wenren Chuchu frowned, furrowing her pretty eyebrows.
[Does this kind of fire really exist? It's not just a myth, is it?]
Ye Xiao was totally calm even though he had just made up a ”myth”, and he said, ”The Purple Sky-fire is the No.1 sky-fire in the world. It is the progenitor of the dan fire. If I wasn't highly talented and lucky, I wouldn't have found it... In other words, in the world, there is absolutely no other person who has this kind of dan fire!” [1]
”Are you absolutely certain?” Wenren Chuchu frowned.
”If there is another person who has the same skill as me, Lady Chuchu...” Ye Xiao spoke arrogantly, ”I, Feng Zhiling, can make a bet with you now. If there is another person like that, I swear I will spend my entire life making dan for you, at least one batch per month, with at least ten beads per batch, and every one of them will be a supreme dan bead with dan clouds!”
Wenren Chuchu was observing his face. Her eyes flickered, and her expression wavered.
Such a promise could totally make her heart tremble!
Among other things, just the words ”every one of them will be a supreme dan bead with dan clouds” could already thrill people to the point where their blood would boil!
It seems that the 'Purple Sky-fire' was truly a mythical fire!
”Since you have already spoken to this extent, how can I not believe it?” Wenren Chuchu said, ”Just... can I have a look at your Purple Sky-fire? Seeing is believing. I am sure that you can at least fulfill this small request of mine!”
Ye Xiao said blandly, ”Unfortunately, my dan fire is invisible. However, it can be sensed.”
”That is the main reason I am so confident.” Ye Xiao looked at her calmly, ”That martial art I was talking about, I believe you have cultivated it into a certain level. I am afraid that you are going to need the Regeneration Ink Lotus soon... How about this. I will first solve your crisis right here and let you feel it yourself... I will make sure that you won't be needing the Regeneration Ink Lotus once I'm done, and you will only require the Regeneration Jade Lotus when the time comes. You won't doubt it if you experience it yourself, will you?”
Wenren Chuchu took a deep breath, ”Really?”
She had the kind of talent which made her a prodigy compared to all her fellow disciples. It was said that her cultivation speed was so high that even the departed founder of her sect couldn't have rivalled it.
However, as Ye Xiao stated, the faster she cultivated, the closer she got to the crisis.
It might take three hundred years for others to reach the level that would cause a crisis to occur, but it might only take her ten years.
That thought had caused her many sleepless nights in the past.
The Regeneration Ink Lotus wasn't something easy to find.
It was an extremely rare and inaccessible treasure.
Where could she get it?
That was a problem.
She thought that if the man in front of her could truly solve her problem, it would be much better to stay friends with him rather than capture him and force him to become a slave that made dan for her!
”Absolutely! As real as the gold and the silver!”
Ye Xiao felt relieved. He had at least passed through half of the dangerous situation.
