35: I'd give anything to save her!

Spring passed and autumn came; a year’s time had gone by.

Dugu Litian finally couldn't wait any longer and expressed his love to Ye Qingyin.

Ye Qingyin was naturally overjoyed, and the two naturally entered a romantic relationship, becoming Dao Companions.

From then on, Dugu Litian and Ye Qingyin became the envy of everyone in the Sect, a pair of immortal companions.

Every time they walked together, compliments like “a perfect match,” and “a match made in heaven” would drift to them.

However, good times did not last; just half a month after they became Dao Companions, Ye Qingyin suddenly fell gravely ill!

Ye Qingyin suddenly fainted at home, and her Cultivation was continuously dissipating, clearly indicating that her life was hanging by a thread.

This matter caused a huge stir; the Sect Master and all the Grand Elders personally intervened, but they still didn't know what kind of illness Ye Qingyin had contracted.

The entire Yu Xiao Immortal Sect was shaken; everyone couldn't believe why a Prodigy, who was perfectly fine, would suddenly be on the verge of death.

Especially Dugu Litian, this matter truly pushed his spirit to the brink of collapse!

Why did Heaven treat him this way! It gave him hope, only to cruelly try to snatch it away!

Ever since Ye Qingyin fell gravely ill and fainted, he had been like a madman, searching everywhere for precious medicine.

At this moment, the only thing on his mind was to save Ye Qingyin at all costs.

Unfortunately, he found nothing.

No one else in the Sect had any solutions either, so the Sect Master took Ye Qingyin and set off to other places to seek a cure.

Before departing, the Sect Master specifically instructed Dugu Litian not to leave the Sect and arranged for an Elder to monitor him, preventing him from leaving the Sect or engaging in any extreme behavior.

He said, “My Yu Xiao Immortal Sect can no longer afford a second Prodigy to suffer a mishap.”

If he didn't return within a month, only then could Dugu Litian leave.

Dugu Litian didn't know where the Sect Master had taken Ye Qingyin. He desperately wanted to go out and find the cause of the illness and a cure, but he was constantly monitored by the Grand Elder.

Under the Grand Elder’s watchful eye, Dugu Litian spent twenty-nine days in a daze.

At this moment, his yearning for Ye Qingyin had reached its peak, and he had fallen into a state of frenzy, with Ye Qingyin's image filling his mind day and night.

He wanted to see her; if she died, he would follow her after avenging her!

Finally, on the thirtieth day, the Sect Master returned.

However, Ye Qingyin was nowhere to be seen behind him.

“No! No! No!”

Dugu Litian continuously screamed internally. At this moment, he no longer cared about the difference in status, rushing towards the Sect Master at the fastest speed, without bowing, and anxiously asked:

“Sect Master, where is Ye Qingyin? Where did she go? Has she returned? How is her illness? Is there still hope for her illness?!!!”

Dugu Litian asked many questions in a row.

The Sect Master looked at him like this, sighed, and said:

“Alas, Qingyin has returned, she is in the most secluded secret chamber of the Sect, but her illness has not been cured.”

“What!!! Sect Master, you are so Divinely Able, how could you not cure her!!!”

“Sect Master, since you have returned and Qingyin’s illness is not cured, then I now resign from you. I want to go out and search for precious medicine. I will never return to the Sect until I find the medicine that can cure Qingyin!”

Dugu Litian finished speaking and turned to leave.

The Sect Master grabbed him and said:

“Don’t rush, although Qingyin’s illness has not been cured, but...”

“No buts, hurry up and tell me!!!”

“I already know a method that can cure Qingyin, but this method will have a great impact on you.”

“As long as I can cure Qingyin, I am willing to give everything!”

The Sect Master paused, seemingly contemplating something, and after a while, he slowly said:

“I went out to meet a Saint Physician. After he examined Qingyin’s illness, he told me that Qingyin was afflicted by a curse called ‘Love Separation.’ If one wants to remove this curse, it must be with the vital essence of her beloved.”

“After I learned about this, I kept hesitating. Vital essence is the most precious substance in every Cultivator’s body. If vital essence is lost, minor cases will result in damage to the Dao Foundation, and severe cases will lead to the dissipation of one’s entire Cultivation! You are a Prodigy of my Yu Xiao Immortal Sect, I cannot let you do such a thing.”

Dugu Litian said without hesitation after hearing this:

“Sect Master, let me save Qingyin. I am willing to offer my vital essence. As long as I can save her, I am willing!”

“She is my daughter, I want to save her more than anyone, but you are also a Prodigy of my Yu Xiao Immortal Sect, how can I...”

“Bang!” Dugu Litian knelt on the ground.

“Sect Master, I beg you, let me save her. Without Qingyin, what meaning does my life have! How can I live alone in this world!”

“Alas, since you are so resolute, then very well...”

Dugu Litian followed the Sect Master into a secret chamber.

The secret chamber was located in the deepest part of the Sect. As soon as Dugu Litian stepped in, he felt a bone-chilling coldness Attack, and candles flickered around, emitting faint light, but they seemed unable to dispel the chill within the secret chamber.

In the middle of the secret chamber was a pure white jade bed, and a person lay upon it.

That person wore a white dress, lying quietly, as if integrated with the surrounding environment, like a sleeping Fairy.

Her originally delicate and exquisite face, which should have been rosy and vibrant, was now as pale as a blank sheet of paper, completely devoid of color.

Her skin, as fair as snow, had also lost its former warm luster, leaving only a cold, icy touch.

As soon as Dugu Litian saw Ye Qingyin, he rushed over impatiently, caressing Ye Qingyin's bloodless face. Waves of excruciating pain surged, making his heart continuously convulse.

He wished so much that the person lying there was himself; he would rather endure these hardships in her stead.

“Sect Master, what should I do?”

“The method is actually very simple. I will first circulate my Cultivation Technique. When I call you, you will force out your vital essence and integrate it into Qingyin’s body.”

“Remember two points: first, there must be no slightest resistance during the treatment process, and second, you must not stop until I tell you to, otherwise all efforts will be in vain!”

Dugu Litian took a deep breath and replied:

“Alright, Sect Master, I understand. Let’s begin now.”

“Good, prepare yourself!”

After the Sect Master finished speaking, he slowly sat down cross-legged, his hands naturally placed on his knees. He gently closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and began to circulate the Origin Qi within his body.

Immediately after, the Sect Master’s hands began to continuously form hand seals, performing various complex incantations.

Before long, a dark glowing seal gradually condensed into shape in the air. This seal slowly rotated, emitting wisps of black mist, revealing a strange aura.

Just as Dugu Litian was watching, the seal suddenly descended, landing on Ye Qingyin’s body, and rapidly spread, completely covering Ye Qingyin.

“Now!” the Sect Master shouted loudly.

Without allowing Dugu Litian to think, he cut his finger, and the Origin Qi in his body circulated wildly, instantly forcing out a portion of his vital essence.

The vital essence shot towards Ye Qingyin’s body in thin threads in the air, and upon contact with her body, it diffused throughout her entire being, slowly being absorbed.

Ye Qingyin’s body also trembled slightly as a result.

Time continuously flowed, and after half an incense stick’s time.

Dugu Litian had already lost nearly half of his vital essence. At this moment, he was drenched in sweat, his face extremely pale, even worse than Ye Qingyin's condition before!
