102: Chapter 102 Dragon's Roar Body?

As she spoke, her voice grew lower. The deeply hidden despair, even through her dignified facade, was faintly transmitted.

Her Lifespan was coming to an end and her path to the Dao was severed; for any Cultivator, this was the cruelest blow.

Ye Changge was shocked upon hearing this. The other party looked to be only in her early twenties, with a jade-like face and an ethereal temperament; how could she have reached such a state?

He thought again; this woman was young, yet her mastery of Formations had already reached the quasi-third rank. To be able to independently run a Formation shop in this Immortal City, she must be a person of exceptional talent and resilient Heart-Nature.

More importantly, his Family was currently lacking a core member who could stand alone in Formations. If he could obtain such an excellent assistant, whether for Family defense, industrial layout, or future expansion, it would be twice the result with half the effort.

Moreover... His gaze swept imperceptibly over Xiao Caiyue's stunning profile and dignified, gentle temperament. Thinking of this, Ye Changge gathered his thoughts and asked:

"May I ask what kind of hidden ailment Fairy suffers from? Perhaps... I could offer a meager contribution to help."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Caiyue raised her eyes to look at Ye Changge, a faint ripple flashing in her eyes.

Seeing his steady demeanor and noting that his words held no frivolity, and that he was able to participate in this free trade fair, his background and strength must be quite impressive.

Although she did not hold much hope, just like a drowning person seeing a piece of driftwood, she instinctively wanted to grasp it.

This matter was not a top secret among the high-level Cultivators in the Immortal City, so telling him would be harmless.

She sighed softly, her tone calm yet unable to hide the bitterness: "To tell you the truth, I possess the 'Dragon Chant Body'."

"Dragon Chant Body?" Ye Changge felt a shock in his heart.

Because special Physiques like the "Yimu Physique" had already appeared among his own offspring, he was extra attentive to classics regarding special Physiques in his daily life and naturally knew the great reputation of this "Dragon Chant Body".

This was one of the top Yang-attribute Physiques in the Cultivation World. Those who possessed it would find cultivating Yang-type Cultivation Techniques to be twice as effective with half the effort. Their Comprehension Ability was extraordinary, and during combat, their spiritual power was fierce and overbearing, rarely meeting an opponent of the same rank; they could be called the darlings of the Heavenly Dao.

However, the Heavenly Dao is impartial; while granting such talent, it also set strict limitations.

If this Physique were born in a man, it would naturally be like adding wings to a tiger, with the hope of reaching the pinnacle of the Dao; but if it were born in a woman, it would be a mix of fortune and disaster.

Women belong to the Yin, so possessing a supreme Yang Physique essentially meant the clash of Yin and Yang.

At first, one might rely on the Physique to Cultivate rapidly, but as their cultivation deepened, the Yang Qi within the body would become increasingly vigorous, gradually overwhelming or even backlashing against their Innate Yin Origin.

Once the Yin and Yang were completely unbalanced, the Yang Qi would scorch the Meridians and erode the Dantian. Not only would cultivation be unable to advance, but the Foundation would be damaged, vitality would slip away, and the final outcome would be the withering of the Dao Foundation and a sharp reduction in Lifespan.

Throughout history, for female Cultivators with the Dragon Chant Body, unless they had some Heaven-Defying Opportunity to alter their Physique or found supreme Yin treasures to harmonize it, very few could cross the threshold of Foundation Establishment, let alone reach Core Formation.

That Xiao Caiyue could Cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Stage with this Physique and maintain it until now was enough to show her extraordinary Heart-Nature and the opportunities she had in her early years.

But clearly, she had also reached the critical point where the backlash of Yang Qi was becoming difficult to suppress.

"So that's it." Ye Changge suddenly understood, thoughts racing through his mind.

He thought of the "Yin Yang Creation Art" he primarily cultivated. This Cultivation Technique was an Immortal-tier Legacy, profound and vast, and it recorded a rather special Divine Ability called the "Yin Yang Guiding Technique".

Using oneself as a conduit, one could unidirectionally guide and absorb some excess "Origin" or "foreign Qi" from the other party's body, thereby achieving the goal of "leveling the peaks and filling the valleys" for them.

Afterward, combined with the overbearing refining power of the "Kunpeng Refining Art", perhaps the absorbed excess Yang Qi could be refined, turned into his own use, or dissipated.

Theoretically, this was a viable path.

But the problem was that the prerequisite for performing this technique was that one must engage in the deepest level of Dual Cultivation with the other party, with spirits and bodies merging, without any reservation.

Only in this way could the practitioner's spiritual power and Divine Sense penetrate deep into the other party's Dantian Origin to complete that delicate and dangerous guiding process.

Ye Changge looked at Xiao Caiyue. This woman had a dignified and elegant temperament, spoke well, and had established her own Foundation in the Immortal City alone; she was clearly not an ordinary, weak woman. Her determination must be extremely firm, and she was very independent.

Rashly proposing that Dual Cultivation was needed to save her... would be too abrupt and might even be suspected of taking advantage of her precarious situation.

Although he did indeed harbor the thought of recruiting such talent, he did not want to use coercion or transactional means.

Seeing that Ye Changge did not immediately shake his head, sigh, or express helplessness like those who had heard of her condition before, but instead fell into deep thought with a contemplative look in his eyes, Xiao Caiyue was surprised.

Her long-dormant heart could not help but tremble slightly, giving rise to a faint glimmer of hope.

Even if this hope was as slim as a candle in the wind, she was willing to try to grasp it.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the palpitations in her heart, and tried her best to keep her voice steady:

"Since Fellow Daoist knows of the Dragon Chant Body, you must know how thorny this condition is. Ordinary Medicinal Pills and spiritual items that harmonize Yin and Yang are, to me, merely a drop in the bucket, delaying the inevitable for only a short time."

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist... has thought of some special method? If there really is a technique that can extend my path to the Dao, even if it is just to gain a little more time, I would be infinitely grateful and willing to do my utmost to set up the necessary Formations for you. I speak no empty words."

Ye Changge snapped out of his deep thought, meeting Xiao Caiyue's beautiful, expectant eyes.

He knew that she was placing her last glimmer of hope in him.

He weighed his words and said slowly: "Fairy Xiao, to tell you the truth, I obtained a secret Legacy in my early years."

He paused, a troubled look appearing on his face, "This technique is profound and mysterious, and the conditions for performing it are quite special, requiring extreme trust and cooperation."

"I currently only have this idea in mind. As to whether it can specifically apply to Fairy's condition and how it should be implemented, I still need to carefully study the secret classics and discuss your internal condition in detail with you before I can be sure. I do not have the classics with me right now."

His words were half-true and half-false.

He naturally knew the "Yin Yang Creation Art" by heart, but as for using the "Yin Yang Guiding Technique" to deal with the backlash of the Dragon Chant Body, there was indeed no precedent, and it required careful deduction.

More importantly, he needed time for both parties to establish a certain level of trust, and to let Xiao Caiyue have some mental preparation; he could not just throw out the bombshell of "needing Dual Cultivation to save your life" right from the start.

Upon hearing this, the light that had lit up in Xiao Caiyue's eyes did not immediately extinguish; instead, it added a few points of credibility because of Ye Changge's caution and frankness.

If the other party had promised everything and guaranteed a cure immediately, she would have been suspicious instead.

Now, this attitude of leaving room for maneuver and emphasizing the need for further confirmation was more like the demeanor of someone with true talent and learning.
