“Master, is there anything we can do?”
Events were as Senior Sister had foreseen, but before Qi Lin could give Shang Yangjun the Fairy Maiden Crystal Heart, Elai had already stolen the initiative and made everyone ingest the “Tears of Blood.” According to what Senior Sister said, these Tears of Blood were a bit like narcotics. The first Boiling Blood Qi Transformation would be very pleasant, able to produce significant benefits. Afterwards, people would be unable to help but use it a second time. Then, they would become addicted and use it more and more. In the end, to not use the Boiling Blood Qi Transformation for even a day, they would feel like they would rather die. But the most that the “Tear of Blood Crystal” could do was only allow them to break through to Qi Refinement Ninth. What came afterwards was a slow death, as pointless as killing a chicken to get its eggs.
This was the method the Yin Shang used to force its cultivators to Qi Refinement Ninth Deva, and only a very few people in high positions of power were aware of the particulars.
“Once inside the body, the Tear of Blood Crystal will leave behind vestigial power. Even if a cultivator can keep this power under control for a time, in the end, they will be unable to resist using it to cultivate.” Guiguzi said: “Unless this ‘blood’ is thoroughly expelled.”
Qi Lin was inwardly worried when he heard this.
“There is a way.” Wang Xu said: “You have the Dual Modes Seal ability. The Dual Modes preside over the mysteries of ‘activity and stillness,’ ‘Yin and Yang,’ ‘life and death,’ and ‘Heaven and Earth.’ The Boiling Blood Qi Transformation produced qi from blood. If you use some of these powers in addition to assistance from some medicines, they will be a chance to expel it. However, while you are helping her expel it, the Tear of Blood will react. This Teacher fears given her willpower, she will be unable to resist using the Boiling Blood Qi Transformation.”
“Please, Master, show me.”
Guiguzi flipped her wrist and produced a small bottle.
“Inside this is ‘Iceheart True Qi.’ It has the effect of dispelling the Tear of Blood. You can try combining it with your cultivation method. The only precondition is that she cannot have used the Boiling Blood Qi Transformation. Once used, the Tear of Blood will have sublimated into her blood. Unless she undergoes body reconstruction, even the Daluo Golden Immortal would be powerless to help her.”
“I have faith that Shang Yangjun won’t use this kind of forced cultivation ascension trick.” Qi Lin understood that the girl was ice-cold aware that there was nothing so good in this world.
“Move tonight.” Guiguzi said.
…
The guardians were in their own rooms.
Qi Lin and Shang Yangjun were not very far from one another. After Elai issued a death order, practically all of the disciples were cultivating in their rooms. Qi and blood boiled, and multi-colored light enveloped them. Qi Lin inwardly sighed; he was powerless. The only thing he could do was help Shang Yangjun alone.
He stood in front of the girl’s door and knocked.
“Who?!”
Shang Yangjun icily asked.
“It’s me, Qi Lin.” Qi Lin’s heart constricted. The girl’s voice sounded a bit pained.
“Wait a sec.”
The shuffling of clothes. Then, he heard a series of quick steps, and the door creaked open. Shang Yangjun’s complexion was slightly flushed, a thin layer of perspiration on her forehead. At first glance, one would think she was aroused. “I heard that Elai made you ingest Tears of Blood to increase Realm. Were you just cultivating?” Qi Lin nervously asked.
“En.”
“You didn’t use the Boiling Blood Qi Transformation, did you?”
Shang Yangjun’s face was red; she was taken aback.
“Did you use it?” Qi Lin sternly asked.
“No…” In truth, Shang Yangjun was cultivating Primordial True Qi, but for some reason, there was a warm current invading her entire body, making her feel very pleasant. The girl never had such a sensation. In her heart, there was an impulse to cultivate this warm qi. If not for Qi Lin’s timely arrival, she would nearly have been unable to resist.
“En, don’t cultivate this. Follow me.” Qi Lin looked around. Seeing no one, he tugged the girl’s hand.
From their close skin contact, Shang Yangjun felt her body go limp. That warmth in her body surged throughout her dantian, as if there was a primordial power about to spill out. They moved via the Heavenly Vertical Earthly Horizontal Escape, and they very quickly left the camp.
Yin Shang, outskirts, Mount Ting, perfect moonlight.
A black-skirted woman stood under the moonlight. The moonlight seemed to sprinkle over her veiled figure, mysterious yet graceful. Her white eyes exuded a spiritual aura under the moonlight, and her pupils were like a pristine and deep lake reflecting the shining moon.
“Master Wang Xu.”
Qi Lin and Shang Yangjun saluted.
Shang Yangjun glanced at Qi Lin, bewildered. Her eyes were filled with confusion.
“The Tears of Blood that Elai made all of you ingest will hurt you, you mustn’t ever use it.” Qi Lin explained the drawbacks of the Boiling Blood Qi Transformation.
Shang Yangjun had never doubted Qi Lin, and hearing his words, her expression changed.
“Have you used the Boiling Blood Qi Transformation?” Wang Xu asked.
“No, I want to rely on my own abilities to break through to Ninth Deva. But if it wasn’t for Qi Lin looking for me, Yangjun would have.” Shang Yangjun said fearfully.
“En.”
“Senior, please, save my life. Yangjun is willing to work like an ox.” Shang Yangjun knelt.
“No need to be polite. I am here to help you, however, this Tear of Blood is reportedly the work of a powerful Divine Name. I do not dare make any guarantees. Whether or not you can dispel it depends on your luck.” Guiguzi gently rose and made the girl stand. Then, she pointed to an already prepared magic circle large enough for two people to be in.
The circle was designed after the Yin Yang pattern. Shang Yangjun then sat down.
“You will need to undress completely.” Wang Tingchan ordered.
Shang Yangjun blushed and broke into a sweat.
“I won’t look.” Qi Lin tactfully turned around.
“You undress, too.” Wang Tingchan bluntly said.
“Huh. Master, do we have to strip naked?” Qi Lin was actually indifferent, but he had to think about a girl’s modesty.
“The Boiling Blood Qi Transformation turns blood to qi, producing a powerful ‘Yang nature.’ The obstruction of clothes will cover the body’s pores and inhibit the dispelling process. In a short moment, This Teacher will give you the Iceheart True Qi to use. You will sit in the Yin Formation and line up your palms with hers. Then, activate your Dual Modes Seal and transfer the Iceheart True Qi to her. Curb surplus, supplement deficiency, achieve equilibrium through the harmony of Yin and Yang.”
“I understand.” Qi Lin very quickly stripped.
Shang Yangjun gasped. If not for Guiguzi Wang Xu’s words, she surely would have felt this man was playing rogue.
Wang Tingchan was still calm as water towards Qi Lin’s unclothed body. In her eyes, there was no passion or desire. “After an hour, my formation will not be so easy to use.”
“I understand.” Shang Yangjun bit her lip. She bashfully stripped her martial artist’s robe, revealing an adorable black pixiu bodice. The girl was quite embarrassed.
Qi Lin’s mind was also captivated by the girl’s beautiful figure, his qi and blood boiling. He immediately used the Dual Modes Seal to alter his mood, appearing quite unperturbed. He calmly sat crosslegged. The girl shed her last piece of underwear, her jade body fully exposed, honestly beautiful beyond description.
They sat facing one another, locking eyes in a cultivation posture.
“You…Don’t look at me.” Shang Yangjun’s body was cold, and the man’s gaze was like an intrusive hand.
“Clear your mind, this concerns your future destiny. Just treat me like I’m your physician.” Qi Lin said uprighteously.
Shang Yangjun continued to bite her lip but said no more.
Wang Tingchan gave Qi Lin the Iceheart True Qi to ingest. Seeing that the time had come, she tapped with her finger. The Yin Yang Harmony Formation glowed with spiritual light, “Now is the time.” Guiguzi ordered.
Qi Lin activated the soul technique and circulated the Iceheart True Qi in his body, transmitting it to her through palm to palm contact.
Ice-cold air poured out from his acupuncture points. As if they had fallen into an icehouse, he began to shiver.
Shang Yangjun also promptly circulated that warmth in her body, affecting the Tear of Blood’s qi inside her body. With just one use, that Tear of Blood qi spread throughout her body, boring through her acupuncture points, meridians, blood, and cells. The girl felt heat flow throughout her entire body. So pleasant it was that she nearly wanted this warmth to take complete hold of her, to use her.
“Yangjun, don’t fall under its spell.” Qi Lin barked, feeling something was wrong with the girl.
Shang Yangjun woke with a start, her body covered in cold sweat. She ground her teeth and willed the Tear of Blood qi to leave her body.
Dual Modes Seal – cold and heat.
The Iceheart True Qi invaded the girl’s acupuncture points and pores. Already, it was somewhat unbearable for the girl to be encroached upon by the cold qi. It was like a flame being doused by a bucket of ice-cold water, which temporarily restored her consciousness.
The Tear of Blood in the girl’s body began to counterattack, becoming a scorching hot current. It seemed to incinerate her body, burning the girl into drawing short breaths. In an instant, Shang Yangjun was already perspiring.
Wang Xu wrinkled her brow. This Tear of Blood was stronger than she had thought. She feared that the Iceheart True Qi was perhaps insufficient.
This was not good.

Poor Shang Meng, he was given up on by Qi Lin….
I mean, the moment they use the Tear of Blood, it’s too late.
