Chapter 491: Dragon Yang Body

Zhou Luo hadn’t expected that after this auction, there would actually be a free trading session.

It seemed there hadn’t been one last time.

"Father, shall we participate?" Zhou Changtian inquired aloud.

Zhou Luo shook his head.

The purpose of his trip was the Heart of the Celestial Wood, and since he had obtained it, there was no need to cause any trouble.

Especially since he had nothing on him that needed to be traded.

At that moment, the loose cultivators in the hall gradually left, with most heading towards the side hall to join the new round of trading.

After all, such trading was regulated by Jinyun Immortal City, unlike those trading centers outside.

People generally didn’t act recklessly, and the items brought out were rare things not found elsewhere.

Here, one could be completely free from worry that the items brought would be coveted or seized by others.

In fact, many cultivators had come specifically for this trading event.

Zhou Luo planned to leave once there were fewer people.

In the meantime, disciples from the Wan Gu Sect approached, wanting to ask when Zhou Changtian would return.

Zhou Changtian indicated it would be soon.

On the surface, he was the protagonist of this auction, so he had to leave with Zhou Luo and then find a way to quietly rejoin the group afterward.

This way, Zhou Luo’s identity could be well concealed.

After the Wan Gu Sect left, Zhou Luo saw that not many people remained in the hall and only then walked out of the booth.

"Friend, hold on!"

Just as he had barely stepped out the door, a voice suddenly rang out—it was the young lady in blue.

Zhou Luo’s eyebrows raised.

He hadn’t expected she was still there waiting for him.

It seemed she didn’t want to ambush him like Zhu Zhi Feng had last time, but chose to trade instead.

Although he definitely wouldn’t trade.

But he still maintained a calm attitude and asked, "What is it?"

"Friend, do you really need that Heart of the Celestial Wood?"

The young lady in blue stepped forward, her beautiful face bearing a serious expression.

She was looking at Zhou Luo, not Zhou Changtian, because in her perception, he was just a little fellow in the Qi Refinement stage and certainly didn’t need the Heart of the Celestial Wood.

Zhou Luo didn’t know what she meant by that, but he nodded slightly and said, "I need it to form the Golden Core."

He believed there was no better reason than that.

The young lady in blue showed a complex expression; after hesitating for a moment, she said again, "Friend, you are still so young; you will surely obtain the Heart of the Celestial Wood later."

"Moreover, as you are an Immortal Sect disciple, you don’t need to worry at all about never encountering it in the future."

"How about this, name your price directly? I have many treasures on me; if I can satisfy you, I will definitely do so."

Obviously, after seeing that Zhou Changtian was called Senior Brother by the Wan Gu Sect people, she naturally regarded him as a disciple of Wan Gu Sect as well.

That was why she came here, wanting to see if she could obtain that Heart of the Celestial Wood through a trade.

Zhou Luo’s gaze darkened slightly as he asked in return, "Friend, you should also have robust qi and blood and sufficient lifespan, right?"

The young lady in blue pursed her lips and shook her head, saying, "No, my lifespan is now less than a year, so I urgently need this Heart of the Celestial Wood."

"Less than a year?" Zhou Luo was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

He looked carefully and noticed that she did indeed seem pale, especially with the faintly visible wave of magic power.

At first, he thought it was just because her cultivation level was insufficient, but now it seemed her body had certain problems and she needed the Heart of the Celestial Wood to save her life.

But what did this have to do with him?

Zhou Luo said calmly, "Friend, this thing is crucial to me; I must refuse."

"However, I am a Pill Master. If you need healing or lifespan-increasing potions, I can trade with you."

He definitely couldn’t give away the Heart of the Celestial Wood.

But he deliberately emphasized his identity as a Pill Master. If he could help her in other ways, not only could he obtain some good things, but he would also dispel her covetousness and save himself some trouble.

However, upon hearing these words, the young lady in blue shook her head gently and said, "Potions can only alleviate and suppress it, but they can’t change the outcome."

As she said this, her face appeared very calm, as if she had become indifferent to life and death.

This woman, though not as stunningly beautiful as Wang Yu Wei, was still elegant and lovely; in her every movement, she had a poised and graceful demeanor.

If she hadn’t accidentally learned that the Heart of the Celestial Wood could help suppress her body’s issues, she, who had long chosen to face life and death calmly, wouldn’t be so frantic now.

If one could live, who would be willing to die so easily?

Especially since she had already seen the scenery from the mountain peaks, naturally she wanted to ascend further and see more.

"Friend, are you poisoned?"

Upon hearing that, Zhou Luo asked instinctively.

As a Second Level Poison Master, he was very confident about poison at the Foundation Establishment level.

If it was poisoning, he could help her sometimes; he might even get some decent goods from her.

For cultivators, one had to strive for everything.

Even though Zhou Luo had a long lifespan, with ample time for cultivation, when something like this offering a benefit appeared before him, he certainly wouldn’t ignore it as long as there were no future troubles.

But the young lady in blue shook her head again, "No, it’s due to my special physique. Friend, have you heard of Dragon Yang Body?"

"Dragon Yang Body?"

Upon hearing this name, Zhou Luo felt surprised inwardly.

Although he had always lived a secluded life, because his children all possessed special physiques, he had explored this area somewhat.

He knew all about this Dragon Yang Body.

It was an extremely special hidden spiritual body, and its spiritual body would gradually awaken as one practiced cultivation.

Just like Wang Yu Wei back then.

During this awakening process, it made one’s yang qi intensely vibrant and their qi and blood surging like a dragon; in cultivation, it could help the holder progress rapidly, making it a powerful existence among spiritual bodies.

But this spiritual body had an extremely severe drawback.

That was, it was only suited for males.

If a female possessed this spiritual body, through continuous practice, it would cause excessive yang qi within the body, leading to an imbalance of yin and yang; in severe cases, they might be eroded by yang qi, burned by scorching flames, resulting in withered meridians and dantian.

He hadn’t expected that this woman before him possessed Dragon Yang Body.

No wonder she previously wanted to bid for that Frost Soul Pill; likely, it was to suppress the intense yang qi within her.

But due to her physique, merely suppressing it couldn’t halt the erosion of yang qi.

The most critical issue now was the imbalance of yin and yang in her body, with yang qi excessively abundant.

The best way was to extract the yang qi from her body, harmonize yin and yang, and then slowly repair her body.

But for something like this, even an ordinary Golden Core master had no good means to achieve it.

After all, this yang qi stemmed from her physique; unless her physique was stripped away, which would be no different from killing her.

Zhou Luo guessed that the Heart of the Celestial Wood could at most extend her lifespan by a few years.

However, speaking of yin-yang harmonization, Zhou Luo recalled a technique.
