186: Chapter 186 Let's do it!

Ye Changge did as he said.

He gently helped Nangong Zili up, letting her lean her back against his chest.

The woman's soft body leaned in without any resistance; her purple dress had long been soaked with sweat during her unconscious state.

It clung tightly to her body, outlining the plump curves unique to a mature woman.

Ye Changge took a deep breath to steady his mind.

He wrapped one hand around her slender, soft waist and slowly lifted the purple hem of her dress with the other.

Beneath the hem was a pair of straight, slender jade-like legs.

Her skin was as white as congealed fat, glowing with a warm luster under the dim spiritual light of the Immortal Cave. Further up—

Ye Changge's gaze paused slightly.

That mysterious area was covered by a thin pair of undergarments of the same color, the fabric already soaked with sweat and clinging tightly to the skin, outlining a silhouette that made one's blood boil.

That full curve and the faintly visible hidden valley were enough to drive countless male Cultivators crazy.

"See no evil, see no evil..."

Ye Changge muttered under his breath, but his hands didn't hesitate at all.

He pressed his two fingers together, and a black and white spiritual light flickered at his fingertips—it was the extremely pure Yin-Yang Qi.

He gently pressed his fingers against Nangong Zili's lower abdomen at the Dantian; what he touched was hot and slippery.

"Forgive me."

Ye Changge said softly, then slowly channeled the Yin-Yang Qi into her body.

As soon as the Yin-Yang Qi entered Nangong Zili's body, they were like two spiritual snakes, quickly moving along her withered and dried Meridians.

Wherever they passed, the nearly stagnant spiritual energy was slowly stirred, gradually gaining a trace of Life Qi.

After a moment, the Yin-Yang Qi finally reached the Dantian.

Ye Changge's Divine Sense followed in, and he saw that dim and lusterless Core Formation.

The Core Formation was about the size of a longan, its surface covered with fine cracks, and its spiritual light was almost completely extinguished, as if it could shatter at any moment.

A cold and decaying aura emanated from the Core Formation, which was the source of that strange Restriction in Nangong Zili's body.

The Yin-Yang Qi did not hesitate at all, flying straight toward that dim Core Formation.

The two black and white airflows were like two ribbons, gently wrapping around the surface of the Core Formation and slowly penetrating inside.

Ye Changge was fully concentrated, carefully controlling the flow and concentration of the Yin-Yang Qi. This was no joke.

The Core Formation is the Foundation of a Core Formation Cultivator's cultivation, a hundred times more fragile than the Dantian of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

A slight oversight would not only fail to save her but would instead accelerate the shattering of the Core Formation, causing Nangong Zili to perish on the spot.

However, at the moment the Yin-Yang Qi penetrated the Core Formation—

Ye Changge's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He clearly perceived that the Yin-Yang Qi that had penetrated the Core Formation...

...were not rejected or dissipated as he had expected, but were slowly absorbed and fused by the Core Formation, as if parched land had finally welcomed a sweet rain!

After absorbing a trace of Yin-Yang Qi, the cracks on the surface of that dim Core Formation seemed to... shrink slightly?

Ye Changge also raised an eyebrow in his mind—of course, it was an internal eyebrow-raise; his outward expression remained steady.

This could actually nourish her Core Formation?

Could it be...

Ye Changge's mind raced with thoughts.

A few days ago, when he was treating Xiao Caiyue's Dragon Yang Body, he had plundered a trace of the Dragon Yang Body's Origin power from her.

That Origin power was incomparably overbearing; after he refined it with the Kunpeng Refining Art, not only did his Physical Body strength increase greatly, but even the Yin-Yang Dao Foundation in his body seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.

Later, during his formal Dual Cultivation with Xiao Caiyue, their Yin and Yang blended and complemented each other, and he received the complete Dragon Yang Body Origin feedback from her.

So now—

Not only could he use Yin-Yang Qi to nourish a Dao Foundation, but he could even nourish a Core Formation?

Ye Changge was shocked, and then a surge of uncontrollable excitement rose within him.

What did this mean?

It meant that from now on, he could not only help Foundation Establishment Cultivators repair their Dao Foundations...

...and improve the quality of their Foundation Establishment, but he could even help Core Formation Cultivators nourish their Core Formations and repair damage!

What kind of Heaven-Defying ability was this?

One must know that once a Core Formation Cultivator's Core Formation is damaged, without Heaven-Defying Spirit Medicine or the help of a powerful master, it almost always results in stagnant cultivation and the end of their path.

Yet he, a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Second Layer, could actually do something that many Core Formation Cultivators could not!

Thinking of this, Ye Changge felt a surge of heat in his heart.

His hand couldn't help but tighten—

"Mm~"

An extremely light and soft groan escaped from Nangong Zili's nose.

Ye Changge looked down and realized that in his excitement, he hadn't controlled the strength of his other hand.

His palm was firmly gripping her proud snowy peaks, his fingers sinking deep into that soft mass.

Because of the excessive force, the purple dress was even crumpled into several deep folds.

That full curve, that amazing elasticity, that soft touch that was clearly discernible even through the fabric...

Ye Changge's mouth twitched slightly, and he silently loosened his fingers, but he didn't move his hand away.

He gave a light cough and refocused his attention on controlling the Yin-Yang Qi.

The black and white airflows slowly circulated on the surface of the Core Formation like two gentle ribbons, brushing over those fine cracks again and again.

With every pass, a trace of Yin Yang Origin power penetrated deep into the Core Formation,

...nourishing the Core Formation that was on the verge of breaking.

Ye Changge remained in this position, motionlessly controlling the Yin-Yang Qi.

Time passed slowly.

After an unknown amount of time—

The Yin-Yang Qi were finally completely absorbed into the Core Formation.

On the surface of the Core Formation, those fine cracks seemed to... shrink just a little bit?

Ye Changge observed carefully for a moment but found that he couldn't see any obvious change.

The Core Formation was still dim, still covered in cracks, and still looked like it was on the verge of breaking.

Was it really effective?

Ye Changge was also unsure.

This kind of thing couldn't be discerned by Divine Sense alone.

The changes inside the Core Formation could only be most clearly perceived by the owner of the Core Formation herself.

Whether it was effective, how effective it was, and how much had been recovered... only Nangong Zili knew these things in her heart.

"Forget it, let's take it slow."

Ye Changge sighed inwardly and withdrew the spiritual energy he had channeled into her body.

One treatment session was over.

He released the hand that had been wrapping around her waist—

Pop!

A faint but crisp sound was exceptionally clear in the quiet Immortal Cave.

That was the sound of the vacuum suction, formed by the sweat between his palm and her waist, being broken as he pulled away.

The moment she lost support, Nangong Zili's body slumped forward like a pile of mud.

With a "thud," she fell limply onto the floor of the Immortal Cave.

Her purple dress was scattered on the floor, and her jet-black hair spread out like a waterfall, revealing a section of her fair and slender neck.
