Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

Chapter 160 - 124: Master Expels Poison from You Su

He Shutong practices the Ice Heart Skill, which, once mastered, cannot be changed. However, she wishes to learn the Yuan Sword, so naturally, she understands the various Heart Method texts of the Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Joy Sect.

The Joyful Union Skill is named as a Dual Cultivation Skill, but it discusses the Dao through Yin and Yang, which actually aligns with many great cultivators’ viewpoints. However, the ’Yin and Yang’ here has a distinct reference: Yin is the Yin within Li, referring to female Yin essence; Yang is the Yang within Kan, referring to male Yang essence.

In the eyes of the founder of the Joyful Union Skill - Yin and Yang in harmony, continually creating life. If one is missing, all things will not come into being.

The first half of the sentence speaks of the powerful dual cultivation effect brought by the cooperation of Yin and Yang, while the latter half speaks of the harm caused by the absence of Yin or Yang.

Normally, the Yin and Yang energies within the human body are in a delicate balance, and it is rare to see a situation of extreme deficiency of one or the other.

But those who practice the Joyful Union Skill have a special situation: the founder created this cultivation technique with the strongest dual cultivation effect in mind. To ask how to achieve the best dual cultivation effect, naturally, the most pure Yin and Yang energies are best for dual cultivation.

Therefore, one major function created by the Joyful Union Skill is to allow male disciples practicing this technique from a young age to become nearly pure Yang, and female disciples nearly pure Yin, laying a solid foundation for future dual cultivation.

And the way to protect these disciples, whose bodily Yin and Yang are significantly imbalanced, from the harm of lacking one, is by relying on the heavenly scroll within the Joyful Union Skill. With the support of the cultivation technique of the heavenly scroll, the initial essence in the bodies of male and female disciples becomes extremely mysterious, able to continuously absorb excess Yin and Yang essence within their bodies, allowing them to maintain a "false" equilibrium of Yin and Yang. Simultaneously, the initial essence within male and female disciples will also be like pearls endlessly polished within a shell, able to provide the partner with unrivaled pure essence during the first dual cultivation.

This is also why the disciples of the Hehuan Sect show much more significant effects in practicing the Dual Cultivation Skill than other sects. After all, while others treat the Dual Cultivation Skill as an auxiliary, they have been cultivated as professionals from a young age...

However, those who practice the Joyful Union Skill ultimately do not possess a truly pure Yang or pure Yin body, and this "false" balance will break after the initial essence is released from the bodies of male and female disciples, as any newly generated Yin or Yang essence will surely not match the effect of the initial essence.

In principle, this issue is not really considered a problem within the Hehuan Sect. That your initial essence has been released indicates dual cultivation has already taken place, thereafter, the excess Yin and Yang energies within the body no longer need to wait for absorption by Yin or Yang essence, they can directly be utilized to foster dual cultivation for your partner. Is this not wonderful?

But when this issue falls on You Su... it truly becomes a significant problem.

Although he has already gone through dual cultivation with his junior sister, his junior sister is not by his side...

You Su is at the age of vigorous youth, full of vim and vigor, naturally with abundant Yang energy, and due to practicing the Joyful Union Skill from a young age, his body undoubtedly exhibits an extreme excess of Yang and deficiency of Yin. And now that his initial Yang has been released, these naturally formed excess Yang energies cannot be fully absorbed nor vented anywhere, accumulating within his body almost like poison.

He Shutong’s delicate brows furrowed deeply, looking at You Su’s twisted face with compassion.

She gently extended her hand again, hesitated for a moment, and still softly placed it on him, focusing on sensing the condition of the Yang poison within You Su’s body.

He Shutong gently bit her red lips, eyes filled with self-reproach.

Did he truly make it all the way to this point with such a body?

He became like this because of me, didn’t he...

Of course, she did not think that bathing together with her in the same pond caused this, rather she knew that the key to You Su’s Yang poison breakout was due to two consecutive over-exhaustive battles, of which her taking You Su as a disciple was the cause.

Strong Yang leads to longevity, weak Yang to untimeliness. The Yang energy is the vital force maintaining the body’s strength, with essential functions of nurturing the whole body and protecting the organs. When a person is seriously ill or injured, the body spontaneously produces more Yang energy to repair the flesh.

The Yang energy within You Su’s body was not supposed to be this heavy, but the continuous fighting and bodily deficit made You Su’s body eager to recover, generating more Yang energy resulting in enhanced Yang upon Yang, akin to adding fuel to the fire or snow to an avalanche, thus making his Yang energy thick enough to become toxic.

But what she did not know was that this was only one of the reasons; another reason was the True Yang Sword Nurturing Spell that You Su practiced, which endowed You Su’s cultivated Yang energy with an unusually rich quality.

"Alas..."

He Shutong sighed softly. She never imagined that such a thing would happen.

In You Su’s current state, she couldn’t possibly stand by and do nothing. If the Yang poison spreads throughout the body, not only will the person suffer greatly, but it will also damage the foundation, obstructing his path, and later on, expelling it would be extremely difficult...

But how can this Yang energy be promptly disposed of for him? Had she known this earlier, she wouldn’t have let Ji Lingruo return to the East Japan Continent so quickly...

Besides Ji Lingruo, who else can she find to help?

How about... offering Wangshu to him as a Dao companion?

He Shutong lightly patted her slightly hot cheeks, trying to clear her mind a little.

Wangshu is pure and innocent, how can she irresponsibly make such a decision for Wangshu? Besides, this would be unfair to Ji Lingruo.

Who else is close to You Su... the Third Elder?

He Shutong shook her head, immediately dismissing this answer. Though she is unworldly, she has heard some rumors. The Third Elder, as a mountain pinnacle female cultivator, has an intense aversion to men, probably why even though she herself remains cold as ice, the Third Elder is still willing to continually show goodwill towards her actively. And with such a disparity in status and age, how could the Third Elder be willing to do something like this for another’s junior...
