The Angler laughed.
"A fellow who scatters his affections everywhere. " With that, he gave the strand of pure yin qi a shake, and it slipped into Yan Jingjing's brow like a little dragon without a body.
Yan Jingjing savored it carefully and found nothing unusual—only a coolness at her brow. "Fisherman Heavenly Master, is this pure yin qi of any use? I don't feel any benefit.
" The Angler was caught between laughter and tears. "This isn't the all-powerful miraculous dual cultivation your clan chief speaks of. Of course it has no effect at first. Pure yin qi is meant to change your solitary yang that cannot endure; it doesn't work right away.
It relies more on subtle, gradual transformation. " The Great Red Kun let out a long, melodious cry in the air, flying over the Wilderness Ruins, drawing ever closer to Taihuang Heaven.
The Angler said, "You have a pure yang body, with nothing but pure yang qi within you. Add to that the sun forged by the goddess Ziqing—an incomparably intense pure yang qi, violent to the extreme. When you became the Sun Guardian, there was no pure yin qi in your body. As you commanded the Xi Boat, that violent pure yang qi merged into you, accumulating more and more. And because there was not the slightest trace of pure yin qi, it brought on a withered abundance of your qi and blood. What is withered abundance?
" Shen Mu chimed in, "My Grandpa Alchemist once made a comparison for withered abundance. He said it is like flower arranging. You cut a bright blossom and set it in a vase; the flower blooms in full glory, but within days it wilts and falls. Grandpa Alchemist said that withered abundance makes a person die suddenly at their most beautiful.
" The Angler said in surprise, "Your Grandpa Alchemist has some insight. That is indeed the way of it—solitary yang that cannot endure brings on withered abundance. When qi and blood are on the verge of withering yet burn all the more fiercely, death cannot be far off. That strand of pure yin qi just now was to give you a supplement, better by far than dual cultivation! Of course, dual cultivation can still solve part of the problem, but it cannot solve the root of it. " The little female fish poked her head out of the fish basket and chuckled.
"Master is destined to be alone all his life.
" The Great Red Kun flew to the boundary between Taihuang Heaven and the Wilderness Ruins, where the primordial magnetic force suddenly fell into disorder, as though they had entered a domain with no primordial magnetism at all. Here a person hung neither up nor down, able to float in the air without cultivating any flight divine power. This was because the primordial magnetism of the Wilderness Ruins and that of Taihuang Heaven interacted here; when the magnetic forces from both sides were equal, a person would float in the air.
To a divine power practitioner this was nothing much—after all, there was still moving air here, and one could fly away with a flight divine power. "The strand of pure yin qi that the Shen boy gave you is no ordinary pure yin qi.
It is a protective divine essence refined by a deity of the Yaochi realm within the Divine Treasury of the Primal Embryo. " The Angler glanced at Shen Mu.
"Even if you were to absorb an entire sun forged by the goddess Ziqing, this single strand of protective divine essence would be enough to dissolve it for you. " Yan Jingjing was startled and blurted out, "So precious?
" "Of course it is precious beyond measure. " The Angler narrowed his big eyes and said with perfect composure, "It must have been extremely difficult for him to obtain such a treasure.
Perhaps he went through trials of life and death before a god of the Supreme Emperor took notice of him and bestowed the yin and yang qi upon him.
And yet, without a second thought, he gave you the pure yin qi within it.
