Chapter 437: Chapter 33: The Demonic Sect Enchantress, A Pri Evil to Be Executed (Extra)
Seeing her elegantly chewing her food, Zhao Yuanzhen suddenly had an epiphany, stood up, and was filled with indignation!
“You guys were snacking in the kitchen! Without !”
She hurried to the kitchen, and upon seeing this, everyone quickly got up to follow. Zhao Yuanzhen grabbed Lin Ning and repeatedly asked:
“What tasty food are you hiding in the kitchen?”
Lin Ning was also bewildered—from a while ago everyone just ca to one by one to make awkward conversation, and now Sister Zhao is accusing of hoarding food… Where did I hide anything? Aren’t all the dishes I’m going to cook laid out on the counter?
“I didn’t hide anything,” she honestly responded.
...
“Liar!” Zhao Yuanzhen was livid, “Clearly you invited them one by one to sneak into the kitchen to eat, intentionally not calling !”
“Not at all,” Su Yunjin took the lead in explaining, “I just went to the kitchen to chat with Ningning.”
“Right,” Lin Ning was truly clueless and hastily agreed.
“You even used a napkin to wipe your mouth!” Zhao Yuanzhen was filled with righteous indignation.
“That’s because I just had so water,” Su Yunjin said with a beaming smile, “Simply wiping away the water stains.”
“Ruoxi!” Zhao Yuanzhen imdiately turned her head, “Tell , did Ningning invite you over to eat sothing?”
Xie Ruoxi hesitated imdiately. On one side is the beloved captain, and on the other, a close sister-friend. Whose side should I take?
I, Ruoxi, am not soone who favors romance over friendship, of course I’ll side with my bestie! But Sister Zhao stirring trouble with the captain this ti was indeed improper. I acted according to the captain’s orders, also to teach Sister Zhao a lesson, to let her know that there are so people in the team you can’t ss with. This is all for the sake of my sister-friends!
With this in mind, she imdiately stopped hesitating and followed the script they had set earlier, shaking her head as she said:
“Don’t ask . I have my difficulties and cannot say.”
“Aha!” Zhao Yuanzhen suddenly realized, “Earlier when you ca out to talk, your words were unclear, definitely because you had sothing in your mouth! Now unwilling to lie to , yet afraid to tell the truth, so you claim ‘I have my difficulties’!”
She turned her head toward Lin Ning and said sadly:
“Ningning, I thought we were close sisters, but to think you would keep such an important thing as eating from !”
Lin Ning was also at a loss for words and anxiously said:
“I really don’t know what’s happening…”
“Sister Zhao, everybody really didn’t sneak any food.” Chen Lingyun said with a gentle smile, “Could it be that you really misunderstood?”
“Exactly, exactly.” Yan Yu also ca to add fuel to the fire, “You’re just too sensitive. Everyone went to the kitchen just to chat with Ningning, that’s all.”
“Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit!” Zhao Yuanzhen couldn’t contain her rage, “I saw Ling Yun eating sothing when she ca out!”
“You must have seen wrong,” Yan Yu said nonchalantly.
“I did not see wrong!” Zhao Yuanzhen grew even more furious, “You’re also covering for them!”
“Oh my!” Xie Ruoxi suddenly exclaid, “Sister Zhao, you talked to the captain! You broke the rule!”
“Eh? Did Sister Zhao accidentally reason with the captain?” Su Yunjin also feigned surprise, “I just realized it myself.”
“Alright, this ga is over then.” Chen Lingyun clapped her hands and laughed, “Everyone, let’s talk normally from now on.”
“Let’s go, let’s go.” Yan Yu waved her hand dismissively.
The girls dispersed, leaving Zhao Yuanzhen dazed in place. Suddenly, she cried out in pain, clutching her chest, collapsing to the ground, her eyes devoid of spirit.
“Sister Zhao…” At this point, Lin Ning also finally realized that because she had just betrayed Sister Zhao, it led to her being bullied by the captain’s sche, and she felt both distressed and guilty, “You should get up first, the ground is dirty.”
Zhao Yuanzhen, however, ignored her and just sat dully on the ground, her expression one of desolation, like a beautiful statue, unresponsive to Lin Ning’s coaxing and explanations, as if her soul was lost.
“Leave her to , don’t bother with her,” Yan Yu ca back to the kitchen after leaving for a while, and said to Lin Ning.
Lin Ning hastily stepped aside to see Yan Yu pick up so chopsticks, grab a piece of fried vinegar pork from the side, and then stuffed it into Zhao Yuanzhen’s mouth.
Zhao Yuanzhen: ……
Smack, smack.
While eating, colors gradually returned to her eyes.
“Is this what you all were eating just now?” She swallowed the food in her mouth and looked up to ask Yan Yu.
“What else?” Yan Yu laughed, “The kitchen is only so big, where could the food possibly hide?”
“Hmph.” Zhao Yuanzhen stood up, patted her buttocks, and picked up her chopsticks again. She fiercely ate several pieces of fried vinegar pork, finally regaining her original vitality and spirit, and arrogantly said, “I thought it was so dragon liver and phoenix marrow! Just this, and it’s worth hiding from and eating secretly?”
“If you don’t like it, then don’t eat!” Lin Ning suddenly beca angry.
“Try conspiring and rebelling again next ti, I’ll help you lose weight, believe it or not?” Yan Yu scoffed coldly.
“I don’t need to lose weight!” Zhao Yuanzhen puffed out her chest, not holding a grudge against Yan Yu, and waved her hand magnanimously, “Forget it, I forgive you!”
Yan Yu slapped her on the forehead, promptly knocking her verve back down.
————————
After dinner, Yan Yu returned to his room and finally saw a ssage from Li Minghu.
[Yuegua Donghu]: Sorry, I was sleeping before and didn’t see it.
[Win Over with Virtue]: So, what’s up with you?
[Yuegua Donghu]: Soone from above ca to check. They said that due to congenital root bone deficiency and an imbalance of the Five Elents, it’s easy for Qi circulation to go awry; it’s a condition that can occur by chance, and this ti, I happened to encounter it.
In a cultivator’s body, True Yuan subtly corresponds with the Five Elents, each related to one of the five internal organs. Li Minghu has a congenital deficiency of the lungs, related to the tal elent, causing her tal-elent True Yuan to be weak. Since tal generates water, this leads to her water-elent True Yuan also being deficient, affecting her kidneys. Considering that water restrains fire, weak water ans strong fire, resulting in excessive accumulation of liver fire. And fire conquers tal, which further weakens the lungs… creating a continuous negative cycle. Even with the adjustnt from spells and elixir dicines, after a while, the problem will reerge. It can only be truly cured from the root source of the root bone.
[Win Over with Virtue]: An imbalance of the Five Elents is indeed troubleso, what did they say above?
[Yuegua Donghu]: They gave two solutions, one is to switch to body cultivating cultivators, and the other is to beco a magic cultivator and practice tal-elent Taoism thod.
To switch to body cultivating cultivators ans to entirely strengthen the root bones, enhancing one’s tolerance for an imbalance of the Five Elents. However, entering body cultivation itself requires one to have good root bones, since cultivation demands tempering the muscles and bones, and ordinary people can hardly persist, only those as tall and strong as Qin ng have a chance.
As for becoming a magic cultivator, presumably, the goal is to cultivate a Tao Transformation of the tal elent to replenish the tal ridians. This path seems feasible but is fraught with difficulties.
For one, a Tao Transformation body can’t be cultivated in a short period, Yun Jin has been at it until now and still hasn’t even gathered half of the Rootless Water needed. Secondly, considering Li Minghu’s True Yuan talent, she’s indeed not suited to be a magic cultivator, even if she succeeded in forcefully switching over, what use would Li Minghu, a magic cultivator with insufficient True Yuan, be? Neither advancing nor retreating, by the ti she switches back to being a Sword Immortal, she would have been left far behind by the main force.
[Yuegua Donghu]: I’m actually hesitant about switching to the body cultivation path; as for the tal-elent Taoism thod, the Annan Army is more hesitant. What do you think, Yan Yu?
[Win Over with Virtue]: I think neither is suitable for you, neither body cultivation nor magic cultivation.
[Yuegua Donghu]: That’s what I think too, but there aren’t any better options right now.
[Win Over with Virtue]: Perhaps you can wait and see. As the Spiritual Energy Resurgence progresses, more and more diverse spells and elixir dicines will erge, and there might be a solution by then.
[Yuegua Donghu]: Perhaps.
[Win Over with Virtue]: But the main thing is, you need to rest quietly now and can’t go back to dealing with the team’s matters.
[Yuegua Donghu]: I do want to let go, but I worry Ah Jiang can’t handle it alone.
[Win Over with Virtue]: Why not recruit a sixth person then?
[Yuegua Donghu]: A sixth person?
[Win Over with Virtue]: Our team’s Ruoxi, Huofeng team’s Hou Qing. When going overseas for combat, we go together, and for dostic confrontational training, we select five people to participate. It also expands our tactical options a bit.
[Yuegua Donghu]: I rember from previous research, for precision strike teams, five people are actually the most suitable. Having more would make it difficult to command.
[Win Over with Virtue]: But you’ve seen how it is abroad now, groups moving in twentys, thirtys, even hundreds at a ti, what command? No need, everyone just fights on their own.
[Yuegua Donghu]: You make a good point, maybe I can bring in soone capable of handling things, to help out with the vice captain’s responsibilities when I’m not around.
[Win Over with Virtue]: There are plenty of cultivators who can fight, but not many who can manage. Rember to screen well, especially the character must be solid, otherwise, if you recruit soone problematic, you’ll suffer the consequences.
[Yuegua Donghu]: Hearing Captain Yan say this, it seems you’ve had so deep experiences, huh? /smile
[Win Over with Virtue]: Let’s not talk about it, everyone in the team is a handful. Today, they even dared to conspire and secretly plot a rebellion, but I suppressed it.
[Yuegua Donghu]: Rebellion? Haha, who was it?
[Win Over with Virtue]: Sigh, let tell you…
