With her back facing him, Yun Wuji placed both palms on Ling Xian's back, and a strand of Light Profound Energy slipped into her body without a sound.
The problem Ling Xian suffered from lay in her bloodline. Her father was the Vermillion Bird God, and her mother the Thunder Cloud Immortal Bird. Because of this, she was born with three elental divine powers of fire, thunder, and wind. Those sa gifts also beca her curse. The energies never truly harmonized, constantly clashing within her body. At tis, the chaos of wind and thunder surged through her ridians, while blazing flas gnawed at her heart, leaving her in endless tornt.
It was exceedingly rare for a single person to cultivate three elents at the sa ti. Aside from Yun Wuji, the only individual capable of such a feat in the entire Primal Chaos was his dead sissy stepson, Luo Changsheng.
He cultivated the Wind, Lightning, and Earth elents.
To cultivate three elental divine powers was countless tis more difficult than cultivating ordinary elents. Even during the ancient Primordial Era, people capable of achieving such a feat were rarely seen.
After a quick inspection, Yun Wuji discovered two ways to resolve her problem. The first was to purify her bloodline, purging her mother's side entirely and leaving behind only the pure Vermillion Bird bloodline.
The second was to slowly ta the fire elent within her. There was no need to do the sa for the other two elents, as they were far weaker than the fire elent, and Ling Xian herself could handle them.
This thod was quite similar to what Ling Xian did through the Primal Fla Crystal. The difference was that the effect of the Primal Fla Crystal only lasted for around a thousand years.
In any case, neither thod was particularly complicated for him. Even setting aside the cheat that was the Law of Nothingness, control over the elental powers alone was more than enough to resolve her condition. Hell, even without those advantages, his frightening genius would allow him to create a cultivation technique tailored specifically for her, one capable of eliminating the problem at its root.
Perhaps he could strengthen her physique instead. He did possess his most beloved Body Thickening Technique, one he always passed on to his won. Unfortunately, it would not work on Ling Xian. Her bloodline was already excessively mixed, and adding the Dragon God's bloodline into the equation would only make things worse for her rather than better.
"Fortunately, senior, it seems that I can help you." Retracting his hand, Yun Wuji smiled gently and conveyed the results of his examination. "Which of the two thods would you prefer to use?"
'He is trying to scam soone else again.' Hei Xiaolian saw that smile and reached her conclusion with absolute certainty. When it ca to understanding Yun Wuji, no one understood him better than her.
"The second one." Ling Xian remained silent for a very long ti. She seed to be reminiscing about her past. If it were her younger self, before she left her clan, she might have chosen to give up her mother's bloodline, the very bloodline that caused her clansn to look down on her and treat her with scorn. But now, she no longer cared about any of that.
Despite the pain and harm it brought her, this bloodline was the only thing her mother left behind. She was not willing to give it up.
"Very well, senior. The process will not take long, only three to four years." Yun Wuji nodded. This outco did not surprise him. From his interactions with her, he already grasped Ling Xian's character fairly well. What remained was to dig a little deeper into her past, just enough to fully align it with his plans.
"Really?!" This ti it was Su Shang who spoke. She stared at Yun Wuji, her eyes wide, and asked, "Are you speaking the truth?!" For millions of years, even before her ancestors were born, her master had suffered under the chaotic elents within her, elents that constantly erupted, bringing calamities and imnse pain.
If Yun Wuji could truly solve this problem in just a few short years, it would be nothing less than a literal miracle.
"Of course I can. Who do you think I am?" Yun Wuji gave her a confident smile. "I am . Doing sothing like this is nothing for ."
He didn't need more than a few hours to fix the problem, but as always, he chose to take his ti. After all, helping Ling Xian wasn't his main goal. His real aim was to follow the request of the Golden Crow, the Phoenix, and the Ice Phoenix and take her down.
If he failed, they would bother him endlessly, probably bringing it up for thousands of years to co.
"As expected of Lord Ni Xuan's inheritor, you have even exceeded my expectations." Ling Xian stood up and held Yun Wuji's hands with her old, withered ones. Like a grandma being helped across the road, she thanked him with a gentle smile full of gratitude. "Thank you, young Wuji. This old woman will not forget this favor."
She had so hope that Yun Wuji could help her, but even so, she had expected that success would take thousands, if not tens of thousands, of years. After all, during her three million years in the Abyss, she had tried every thod imaginable and failed. The only thing that had offered her even temporary relief was the Primal Fla Crystal.
"I am doing this because I want to. I, Yun Wuji, never cared about favors." Yun Wuji patted her hand gently and spoke with arrogant confidence. "During this ti, you will stay in the Eternal Light Divine Kingdom. I will provide treatnt once a week. If all goes well, in a few years, senior will no longer have to worry about your elents falling into chaos."
"You are still as smooth as ever, Wuji! You also need to quickly convince her to revert to her younger look. Watching you try to seduce an old woman is just… weird!" Hei Xiaolian laughed at the scene. Her man really was the nesis of all won.
"You are older than her," Li Suo remarked from the side.
"You are the freaking old one! I am always eighteen!" Hei Xiaolian shot back coldly.
Ling Xian gazed deeply into Yun Wuji's face, then suddenly said, "If he were here to see you, perhaps he would smile once again."
She couldn't help but think of Mo Su. Since coming to this world and becoming the Abyssal Monarch, his soul seed to have withered. He was neither angry, nor surprised, nor resentful, nor lancholy. His rare smiles were nothing more than a twitch of his face, devoid of any true joy.
Perhaps, if he were to et Yun Wuji, who carried the power of Ni Xuan, he might smile once more, even if only a little.
"Senior, are you talking about Mo Su?" Yun Wuji sat down beside her and asked. He didn't know the details of her love story with Mo Su, but from the way she was acting now, he could guess that she still held feelings for him.
Ling Xian smiled, a faint mist forming in her cloudy eyes. "That was a very long ti ago." She didn't look surprised that he knew the Abyssal Monarch's true identity. As Ni Xuan's inheritor, perhaps he had left him so mories, or maybe even told him personally.
For so reason, speaking to him made her want to share more. She slowly began to recount her past with Mo Su.
It wasn't much to tell, only her one-sided love for him. Just as he had been unwaveringly devoted to Pan Xiaodie, there had been another person behind him who had been equally devoted to him.
'Hehehe, how interesting would it be to steal both of them from him? Shit. Since when did I beco an NTR fan?!' Hearing her story, Yun Wuji did not feel discouraged in the slightest. On the contrary, a strange sense of excitent stirred within him. Perhaps Hei Xiaolian's hobbies had rubbed off on him, or maybe he had been the one to infect Hei Xiaolian in the first place. 'How can this even be called NTR? I am just helping Ling Xian break free from such a fruitless love and showing her that there is still a reason to live.'
'Like !'
"Then I won't bother you anymore, senior. I'll co to start the treatnt tomorrow. Make yourself comfortable, and if you need anything, don't hesitate to contact ." Yun Wuji felt it was ti to retreat. He glanced at both Ling Xian and Su Shang and caught the latter staring at him intently, her eyes misty.
'Hmm? Is she really into spanking, or did I awaken sothing in her last ti?' Walking out, Yun Wuji scratched his cheek, recalling the way Su Shang had been staring at him. It seed she hadn't even realized how she had been looking at him.
"Unchanging devotion to soone for three million years… how are you going to make her change her mind and fall for you so easily?" Li Suo asked suddenly on the way back.
"Stupid, ignorant, hypocritical woman. What's so hard about it?!" Before Yun Wuji could answer, Hei Xiaolian, the self-proclaid expert in love, spoke first. "Wuji just has to act the way he normally does and add a few little tricks, and he'll succeed easily."
"How can it be that easy? If Ling Xian's feelings could be swayed so simply, she wouldn't have stayed devoted to Mo Su for three whole million years." Li Suo couldn't understand where Hei Xiaolian's confidence was coming from.
"Hmph! What's so great about that? You said it yourself! Three freaking million years. Do you even know how long that is? It's fucking long!" Hei Xiaolian snorted disdainfully at Li Suo, looking at her as if she were ntally challenged. "That woman is already exhausted, so tired that she no longer cares about anything in life. The clearest sign of that is that she allowed herself to grow old."
"For soone like her, if she paid even a little attention to her appearance, she could easily maintain her youthful looks with the power of a True God."
"This in itself ans that even though she still loved Mo Su, she has grown tired of everything. She is barely clinging to life, just going through the motions, perhaps only to witness his success or failure." Hei Xiaolian watched Li Suo's expression change to one of surprise and, feeling smug, continued speaking.
"I am fairly certain that even if Mo Su were to accept Ling Xian's feelings right now, she wouldn't reciprocate them. She has already grown old, and even if she were to accept him and be with him, she would probably die shortly after."
Hei Xiaolian may have been just a Heavenly Spirit and soone who spent most of her life sealed away, but she was also the person who had spent the most ti with Yun Wuji in this world. She literally never left his side for longer than necessary. Watching him scam people and seduce won for so long, she had learned many things from him.
