Chương 60: Variation Body

The guards of the Core court recognized Long feng and let him in, casting queer looks at Yan Jian and the unconscious Li Yue'er. This time, Long feng didn't lose his way. Lord Yi Ming had previously told him how to get to the palace. They arrived in no time. Lord Yi Ming was seated cross legged with his eyes closed as they entered the palace. He immediately opened his eyes.

"Master!" Yan Jian supported Li yu'er as Long feng clasped his fist at Lord Yi Ming. Lord Yi Ming nodded, his eyes fixed on Li Yue'er. With his cultivation, it wasn't hard for him to sense what is wrong with Li yu'er. His eyes slowly turned solemn.

"You aren't allowed to bring people into the Core court you know. If anyone had met you, this would've blown into something bigger." Lord Yi Ming said in a chiding tone. Long feng remained silent. He knew that his presence within the Core court was not accepted by the Core disciples. His act of bringing Yan Jian and Li yu'er was even more outrageous. If they'd known about this, he didn't know what they would have done. Lord Yi Ming looked at Yan Jian.

"I won't take responsibility for them if they get caught. You should escort your friend back." he said. Although reluctant, Yan Jian followed Long Feng back and returned to the Elite court where he waited. Lord Yi Ming then stood up and walked over to Li Yue'er, walking around her with intrigue in his eyes.

"Her life source is depleting at a surprising rate. If this continues, she would die in less than two years" he spoke audibly. Long feng's eyes widened in shock. Life source depletion? Death? Li yu'er had never mentioned any of that. Perhaps she didn't know?

"What do you mean, master?" He asked. He knew what the life source was and he also knew that without life source, one could never stay alive. Life source was even more precious than the soul itself. Any slight reduction in your amount of life source would drastically reduce your life span. For old men, their life sources were their life itself.

"This thing is absorbing her life source at a shocking rate. These veins are the vessels connected to her life source for it to absorb." Lord Yi Ming replied.

"It is feeding off her." Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

"Is there anyway to get the entity out?" Long feng asked after a moment of silence. Lord Yi Ming thought for a while, his aged eyes squinted.

"I can lay a sealing formation on it, but it will only seal it for a few weeks or months. But I am unable to take it out. This thing seems to have been within her dantian for years. A normal person would have long died from continuous absorption of his life source. It is a miracle that she could hold on for so long. If it was earlier, I might've been able to remove it. But now, they are almost indistinguishable from one another; they share the same life source, same body.

If it is taken out, her might die immediately." He paused and scrutinized her then continued "I am sensing a special aura from her. If I am not wrong, this lady possesses a special body variation which replenishes her lost life source. Even then, she wouldn't live for much longer again." Long feng didn't know what to say. He stared at Li Yue'er's pale face, his eyes clouding with confusion. What exactly was her history? How did this thing get into her body?

"Isn't there any other way?" He asked. Lord Yi Ming seemed to think of something.

"I suppose there is a final method." He stopped abruptly and stared at Long feng.

"What is your relationship with this lady?" He abruptly asked. Long feng didn't expect that question and was lost for words. Why ask such questions?

"We are friends. Good friends, I guess" Long feng replied. Lord Yi Ming squinted his eyes and stared at Long feng suspiciously.

"Is that all? There is nothing going on between you two? Just friendship?" He asked. Long feng "........?" What had gotten into Lord Yi Ming's head suddenly? Was he alright? But Long feng didn't dare speak out this thought. He merely shook his head.

"Nothing. We are merely good friends." He exclaimed. Lord Yi Ming nodded, satisfied.

"There is a final method. We can transfer the demon to another vessel, that is another person. But the receiver has to be a cultivator with a high cultivation level, at least the Yang realm or else he would be killed during the transfer and it would all amount to nothing" he explained.

"Also, if the lady was born with the demon within her, then we can't transfer it or her life would be at risk. It must have been placed within her dantian after her birth!" He added. Long feng was dazed for a moment before he registered what Lord Yi Ming was saying. Sacrificing a life to save another life? That sounded quite brutal. Besides, who was stupid enough to sacrifice himself for another person? Who would want to accept the demon into his dantian? Definitely not Long feng.

He still had a long life ahead of him. And he wasn't strong enough to even try it. He was considerably far from the Yang realm requirement.

"I will try to suppress the demon for now. You can let her know and decide on what to do once she wakes up" Lord Yi Ming said.

"Let her know?" Long Feng nodded. He didn't know why but he just had a feeling that Li Yue'er was perfectly aware of what was going on within her body. She could even know about the two years lifespan left for her. Lord Yi Ming sat back down and released his soul power. His hands movement were fascinating and smooth, like the movement of the water in a calm lake. His dark eyes were focused on the runes that danced around him. Few minutes later, the runes converged into a formation.

Long feng recognized it as a sealing formation. It was similar externally to the one he made, but the strength was mikes apart. His own wouldn't hold a candle to Lord Yi Ming's ability. Lord Yi Ming made a few more hand seals and the formation drastically decreased in size as it sank into Li yu'er's dantian. He then took out a small bottle containing three small red pills. He poured the pills into Li yu'er's mouth.

"That should do. She should wake up soon." he said. True to his words, the veins on Li yu'er's figure began to vanish into thin air as if they were never there. Her pale face began to regain its color and her inner energy began to revitalize. At some point, Lord Yi Ming couldn't help but be stunned at Li yu'er's beauty. When the veins on her face were fully gone, both men were left staring at her blankly. Lord Yi Ming quickly shook his head and looked up to star at Long feng.

"You said there is nothing going on between you two?" He asked. Long feng "...." He was still dazed by Li yu'er's looks as well. What made him curious was why she hid her face when she was already so devastatingly beautiful. Was there another reason they didn't know of? Or did she hide her face precisely due to that? Because she knew that she was far too beautiful? That she could cause the downfall and destruction of countless people with a glance? That sounded somewhat logical.

He moved to the side and sat down, waiting for her to wake up. He had a lot of questions to ask her. In the meantime, he sank into a brief meditation.
