427 Once a Year (2/2)
”In the first hundred years, one dan bead will bring her ten years. It won’t last forever though. As time passes, the efficacy will be reduced. About a hundred years later, she will have to take two dan beads at a time for ten years. Two hundred years later, she will need three…”
Ye Xiao said, ”It is not such a big problem though. Quantity can save quality anyway. We will just need to make more dan beads and collect more materials. It won’t be a problem for Ling-Bao Hall!”
Zhao Pingtian’s face changed and changed again. After a while, he said, ”I really appreciate your kindness, Feng Monarch. I am a happy man no matter how many difficulties I will encounter, no matter how many dangers stand before me, if I can see Rou-Er for even just one time. I don’t care if I need to spend three hundred years, even five hundred years, a century…”
Ye Xiao smiled. ”Brother Zhao, you are making the standard a bit too low though. It is more than this… Much more…”
Zhao Pingtian was shocked. He said, ”What do you mean? Did I mistake something?!”
Ye Xiao shook his head and said, ”I mean Brother Zhao you are asking for little. Don’t you remember what I said? I said if any of the two plans works, you and Rou-Er can be together forever! If you just want to see her for once, we don’t need neither of these plans!”
Zhao Pingtian was shocked. He spoke with a shaking voice, ”Feng Monarch, do you have other method that can bring Rou-Er to my sight?”
Ye Xiao nodded and said with a smile, ”It is not so difficult to just let you see her as long as we do the right thing in the right time and the right place. Every 15th July in lunar calendar, the Yang World has most yin qi in the year. We just need to find a place where there is an enormous amount of yin qi and Rou-Er takes a Soul Restraint Dan bead in advance. Rou-Er will be able to show up in this world for two hours!”
”Then you can see the one you love the most… There is something we need to be careful about though. You have to remember that you cannot get too close to her. She is still a spirit. You are a man with strong yang qi. If your yang qi clashes with the yin qi, it will make other spirits form into a tide of spirits. They will very possibly whirl Rou-Er away with them to the netherworld… That will be a disaster!”
”Really? So I can see Rou-Er on 15th July?” Zhao Pingtian couldn’t believe it. He kept asking!
”More than once. You can use this method every year. In other words, you and Rou-Er can meet once every year for two hours!” Ye Xiao spoke with a smile.
”Every year? Two hours? Are you serious?” Zhao Pingtian was breathless. His pupils dilated three times because of excitement. He was apparently stimulated by Ye Xiao’s shocking news.
”So I can see her before I reach Dao Origin Stage? I… I…” Zhao Pingtian’s face turned red. He didn’t know where to put his hands and feet now. The surprise truly made him lose his mind.
In the grey fog, Rou-Er was looking at Ye Xiao with excitement too.
Rou-Er was now a soul. She knew much more about the netherworld than Ye Xiao. She knew that Ye Xiao was being honest. It was a practical way he said. She was even happier than Zhao Pingtian, as she knew she would be able to talk to her beloved once again.
