Chapter 1435: The Cycle of Yin and Yang, A Great Leap in Martial Prowess

Ling Feng clenched his teeth and hardened his resolve. He withdrew the Fire of Pure Yang and instead drew the cold qi leaking from Saint Lady Hui Yue's body toward his own dantian Qihai acupoint.

He intended to refine the extreme yin cold qi within Saint Lady Hui Yue.

Ling Feng possessed the Chaotic Body. In principle he could absorb and refine any attribute of energy between heaven and earth. The only difference lay in the degree of difficulty.

The cold qi erupting from Saint Lady Hui Yue was also a form of energy. Its nature was extremely yin and chilling, yet that did not mean Ling Feng could not absorb it.

The Cold Moon Goddess Pearl contained a similar bone-chilling cold qi, and Ling Feng had endured it before.

Now he had reached a point where retreat was impossible. The only choice left was to take the risk.

This time there was no second Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Fire to neutralize the cold qi. Everything depended on Ling Feng's willpower and fortune.

"

Hiss...

"

The moment the cold qi entered his body, Ling Feng shuddered violently. It felt as though all the blood in his body had frozen. His mind went blank for an instant and even his soul seemed numb from the cold.

Saint Lady Hui Yue's cultivation was extremely profound and had already approached the Half-Saint level. Ling Feng's current cultivation was far inferior.

If the Dead Soul Devil Abyss had not suppressed part of the cold qi within her body, Ling Feng would likely have already been frozen into ice shards.

Even with that suppression, the cold qi remained terrifying.

Ling Feng guarded his mind and repeatedly recalled the sensations he had experienced when refining the Yin-Yang Stone. The power of yin and yang generated each other endlessly.

At that moment Ling Feng's Fire of Pure Yang was far weaker than the extreme yin cold qi within Saint Lady Hui Yue. However the forces of yin and yang shared the same origin. They could generate and transform into each other.

Gradually an intricate Taiji diagram of yin and yang appeared within Ling Feng's mind. His understanding of yin and yang attributes rose to an entirely new level.

Ling Feng began converting the extreme yin cold qi into pure yang power. The pure yang power then transformed back into extreme yin cold qi. This endless cycle of transformation allowed the energy to be absorbed and refined by Ling Feng.

The cold qi that had been raging uncontrollably inside Saint Lady Hui Yue now became a vast reservoir of energy for Ling Feng. As he continued absorbing it, his cultivation that had been stuck at the seventh level of the Spiritual Sea Realm began to show signs of another breakthrough.

Ling Feng immediately felt delighted. From a certain perspective it was as if he were absorbing Saint Lady Hui Yue's martial prowess. However he was doing this to save her, so the act could hardly be avoided.

Time passed slowly.

Two hours...

Four hours...

Six hours...

Dawn gradually approached. By the time the first light of morning arrived, Ling Feng's cultivation had advanced to the ninth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm!

The cold qi inside Saint Lady Hui Yue possessed extremely high quality. It was dense and powerful. For Ling Feng it was no less valuable than the finest heavenly treasures.

Ling Feng also benefited from his extraordinary constitution. The Chaotic Body possessed a unique affinity with all attributes of power between heaven and earth. Without such a physique, even if Ling Feng had understood the principle of yin and yang transformation, he could never have completed the conversion. He would have eventually frozen into an ice statue and remained sealed inside this cave.

As the eerie howls outside gradually faded away, Ling Feng realized the ghostly mist of the Dead Soul Devil Abyss had dispersed. The surroundings temporarily returned to silence.

Sunlight began to shine into the world. The frigid energy between heaven and earth slowly weakened. Saint Lady Hui Yue's condition finally stabilized. The violent extreme yin cold qi within her body also settled down and began circulating through her body in an orderly manner.

After sensing that Saint Lady Hui Yue's aura had gradually stabilized, Ling Feng stopped absorbing the cold qi from her body. He took out several silver needles and inserted them through her clothing into several acupoints on her back.

Ling Feng had absorbed a considerable amount of her power, so he returned the favor by using

The Profound Art of Acupuncture and Moxibustion

to help her recover.

Under Ling Feng's subtle needle technique, about an hour passed before Saint Lady Hui Yue slowly opened her eyes. Elemental force surged through her body and instantly blasted Ling Feng away from behind her.

This reaction was merely instinctive rather than a deliberate attack.

Bang!

Ling Feng slammed heavily into the rock wall. He frowned and immediately cursed.

"You old woman! I saved your life and you repay me by attacking the moment you wake up?"

Saint Lady Hui Yue's consciousness gradually cleared. She turned her head and glanced at Ling Feng. Her delicate brows knitted slightly as she stared at him.

"You saved me? You?"

"Who else could it be!"

Ling Feng brushed the dust from his clothes and frowned.

"There are only two of us here. If I did not save you, who do you think did? Last night the cold qi inside your body erupted. If I had not stepped in, you would already be dead. Look around this cave. Everything has been frozen solid by your cold qi. I nearly froze to death as well. Yet the moment you wake up you attack your savior?"

Saint Lady Hui Yue stared at Ling Feng and carefully sensed the condition of her body. Her state remained extremely poor, yet the chaotic meridians inside her body had already been sorted out. The extreme yin cold qi that had begun spiraling out of control had also returned to her Qihai and resumed stable circulation.

She was still weak, but full recovery would only be a matter of time.

Even so, she found it difficult to understand how such a powerful cold qi within her body could have been suppressed by a mere Spiritual Sea Realm cultivator like Ling Feng.

"

Hm?

"

At that moment Saint Lady Hui Yue suddenly noticed that Ling Feng's cultivation seemed to have improved again. His aura even contained a faint trace of the same extreme yin cold qi as her own!

"You absorbed my cold qi?"

Saint Lady Hui Yue stared at Ling Feng in disbelief. Shock filled her expression.

"What choice did I have? If I had not taken away that rampaging power, both of us would have frozen to death here. Are you planning to hold me accountable for that too?"

Ling Feng noticed her strange expression and immediately became cautious. He stepped back several paces and watched her warily.

Even though this woman was seriously injured, she was still extremely dangerous.

Furthermore Ling Feng had never trusted her character in the slightest.

"I am not so unreasonable!"

Saint Lady Hui Yue drew in a deep breath and chose not to ask further questions.

"Boy, you may have saved me, but you also absorbed my martial prowess and increased your cultivation. The two actions cancel each other out. From now on we owe each other nothing!"

"

Heh!

Your ego really is impressive. You dismiss a life-saving favor just like that!"

Ling Feng looked at her with open disdain. He shrugged and curled his lips.

"Fine. It is better if we owe each other nothing. If you were not Jiang Biyi's mother, I would never have bothered about your life or death. To be honest, though, you are not much of a mother."

The moment Ling Feng mentioned Jiang Biyi, Saint Lady Hui Yue's expression shifted slightly. Her voice turned cold.

"My relationship with Yi Yi has nothing to do with you!"

"Fine. None of my business."

Ling Feng rolled his eyes and snorted.

"You look like you will not die anytime soon. I have already done everything I could. Saint Lady Hui Yue, we both find each other unpleasant to look at, so I will not stay here any longer. Farewell!"

After speaking, Ling Feng casually tossed several bottles of medicinal pills that restored vitality and replenished elemental force in front of Saint Lady Hui Yue. He then turned and flew out of the cave without looking back.
