155: Chapter 155 Heavenly Cloud Robe!
His other hand gently stroked her beautiful hair.
"Caiyue." He suddenly spoke, his voice gentle and low,
"How long until the Origin of your Dragon Yang Body recovers again?"
Upon hearing this, a trace of clarity returned to Xiao Caiyue's hazy eyes.
She did not move, only closed her eyes and began to inspect her internal condition.
A moment later, she opened her eyes and said softly:
"Husband, it will be about... less than a year."
Ye Changge nodded.
One year.
It was about what he had estimated.
The Origin of the Dragon Yang Body was too overbearing; although he had plundered a portion of it using a Secret Art, the remainder would still slowly recover.
Once it had recovered sufficiently, another treatment would be required.
Otherwise, that Origin power would accumulate to a degree her body could not withstand, burning away her life force entirely.
He lowered his head, looking at the flushed face in his arms, and said gently:
"Caiyue, within this year, I will try my best to find a way to completely resolve the Dragon Yang Body."
He paused, then added:
"If I cannot find one, it is no matter. We shall simply perform the treatment again then."
Upon hearing this, a warm current surged in Xiao Caiyue's heart.
She naturally knew that the Secret Art used to treat her took a toll on the practitioner.
Plundering the Origin seemed like she was the one paying the price, but in reality, Ye Changge also had to bear enormous risks and consumption.
Especially that Secret Art;
while it could save her, it would also consume his essence, energy, spirit, and even his Lifespan.
Yet he spoke of it so lightly.
As if that consumption was not worth mentioning.
Xiao Caiyue huddled in his arms, gently burying her face in his chest,
her voice low, with a hint of hoarseness and a touch of softness:
"Thank you, Husband..."
Ye Changge just wanted to say something—
when a cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang in his mind:
【Ding—Congratulations Host, ten descendants have reached the Innate Martial Dao realm, obtaining one lottery chance!】
At the same time, a faint yet clear power appeared out of thin air and merged into his bones.
That was the System feedback.
When descendants have a Breakthrough, it feeds back to him.
Although this power was merely a drop in the bucket for Ye Changge now, it was better than nothing.
Ye Changge was slightly stunned, then a flash of joy crossed his eyes.
It was time for a lottery again.
He looked down at Xiao Caiyue, who had already fallen into a deep sleep in his arms.
She was indeed tired.
The travel over these past few days had been exhausting, and after the recent exertion, she was now sleeping very soundly,
her breathing even, her brows relaxed, and the corners of her lips slightly upturned, as if she were having a pleasant dream.
Ye Changge gently laid her down, covered her with a silk quilt, and leaned over to place a light kiss on her forehead.
Then, he got up and walked to the other side of the room.
"System, lottery."
As soon as his voice fell, the familiar virtual interface unfolded before his eyes.
A huge wheel slowly emerged, divided into several areas—Cultivation Technique, Magical Artifact, Medicinal Pill, Spirit Pet, Craft, Special...
The wheel began to spin, faster and faster, and finally slowly came to a stop.
The pointer landed on a patch of brilliant golden light.
【Ding—Congratulations Host, you have drawn a Magic Treasure reward!】
Magic Treasure?
Ye Changge raised an eyebrow.
He currently possessed many Spiritual Artifacts, but not a single true Magic Treasure.
Above Magical Artifacts are Spiritual Artifacts; above Spiritual Artifacts are Magic Treasures.
A Foundation Establishment Cultivator who could possess a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact was already considered wealthy.
As for Magic Treasures, those were treasures only Core Formation True Persons were qualified to touch.
Ye Changge felt a faint sense of anticipation.
The light dissipated, and an item appeared before him.
It was a robe.
It was moon-white in color, with a soft texture, and cloud patterns faintly flowing on its surface, emitting a faint spiritual light.
Ye Changge reached out to take it, and a stream of information instantly flooded into his mind—
【Name: Heavenly Secret Cloud Robe】
【Grade: Medium Grade Magic Treasure】
【Origin: This is the Lifebound Treasure of the ancient Immortal Master Heavenly Secret, crafted primarily from celestial silkworm silk, infused with Immortal Master Heavenly Secret's lifelong insights into the "Dao of Heavenly Secret," and refined over a hundred years. After Immortal Master Heavenly Secret fell, the whereabouts of this robe became unknown.】
【Functions:】
【Wearing this robe, defense will be automatically triggered when under attack.】
【Calculation Boost: Wearing this robe can significantly increase calculation power for divination. It can also greatly increase thought speed when deducing Cultivation Techniques, comprehending Formations, or refining Medicinal Pills, helping the Host grasp the essence faster.】
【Obscure Heavenly Secret: Wearing this robe can prevent others from divining or calculating the Host's whereabouts and Karma.】
【Boundless Transformation: Wearing this robe, you can freely change your appearance, aura, and even simulate others' cultivation levels, making it difficult to be seen through.】
【Note: This robe has recognized its master. After wearing, it automatically conforms to the body shape and can transform its form according to one's will.】
After reading the introduction, a flash of surprise crossed Ye Changge's eyes.
A Medium Grade Magic Treasure!
And it was the Lifebound Treasure of an ancient Immortal Master!
Heavenly Secret Cloud Robe... Calculation Boost... Obscure Heavenly Secret...
This robe was indeed a good item.
Especially the "Calculation Boost" function, which would be of great use for him to comprehend Cultivation Techniques and study Talisman Arrays.
But as for divination,
he shook his head slightly.
The Dao of divination was the most obscure and talent-dependent among the hundred arts of the Cultivation World.
It was even more talent-dependent than the universally acknowledged most difficult top four arts—Medicinal Pills, Artifacts, Formations, and Talismans.
Without talent in this area, even if one exhausted their entire life, it would be difficult to even enter the path.
Ye Changge held no illusions about his talent in this regard.
If he were to count on the System to draw a divination Legacy, it would be better to count on one of his descendants having a talent for divination.
He sighed softly.
However, the robe's functions were enough to satisfy him.
Especially the "Autonomous Protection," "Boundless Transformation," and preventing others from divining; these would certainly be very useful for traveling in the Cultivation World in the future.
He took a deep breath, unfolded the robe, and draped it over himself.
The moment the robe touched his body, it automatically conformed to his shape, the size and length just right, as if it had been custom-made.
With a thought, the cloud patterns on the surface of the robe flowed, transforming it into an ordinary cyan long gown.
With another thought, it transformed into a black martial outfit.
With yet another thought, it transformed into white robes, fluttering like an immortal.
"A fine treasure." Ye Changge praised inwardly.
He walked to the side, conjured a water mirror, and examined himself carefully.
The person in the mirror was dressed in white, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, a face like jade, and cloud patterns faintly flowing around him, making him appear even more ethereal and otherworldly.
"Not bad." Ye Changge nodded, "It is just too conspicuous."
With a movement of his Divine Sense, the robe instantly reverted to the appearance of an ordinary cyan gown, looking no different from what ordinary Cultivators wore.
"This is better." Ye Changge smiled and turned back to the bedside.
Xiao Caiyue was still sleeping soundly, her breathing even, sleeping sweetly.
He lay down gently and pulled her into his arms.
Seeming to sense something in her sleep, Xiao Caiyue unconsciously snuggled into his arms, found a comfortable position, and continued to sleep deeply.
Ye Changge looked down at her peaceful sleeping face, and a softness surged in his heart.
