Chapter 21: The Special Effects of the Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Record

Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was the morning of the next day.

Through his divine sense, Ye Yang could tell that Zhao Ling’er, who was staying in the room next door, had already woken up and was currently preparing breakfast in the kitchen. It had to be said that women in the updated world were indeed better than those before the world’s update.

Before the update, modern women who were beautiful or came from wealthy backgrounds were typically pampered, rarely touching chores like cooking. But after the world’s update, regardless of their status, most women were capable of both managing a household and excelling in the kitchen. Even someone like Zhao Ling’er, a refined lady from a prominent family, had mastered a few impressive culinary skills.

Ye Yang enjoyed his breakfast quite leisurely. Having a stunning beauty attend to him added a psychological and visual enhancement that made up for any shortcomings. Moreover, Zhao Ling’er, with her Soaring Immortal Physique, was naturally gifted and learned quickly. Even without specialized training, her cooking skills, purely based on talent, were undoubtedly world-class.

“Mr. Ye, is there anything I need to do now?” Zhao Ling’er asked softly, looking at Ye Yang after finishing breakfast and clearing the dishes.

“Can you dance?” Ye Yang asked after a moment of thought, hearing her question.

“Yes,” Zhao Ling’er nodded.

“Then perform a few dances so I can observe your physical condition,” Ye Yang said.

Having a beautiful woman by his side, though he couldn’t act too eagerly due to his status, it would be a waste to do nothing. Since Zhao Ling’er had proactively asked what to do, Ye Yang would naturally oblige her while finding some enjoyment for himself.

“Alright,” Zhao Ling’er nodded without hesitation.

Soon, dressed in a long skirt, she began dancing gracefully in front of Ye Yang. It had to be said that the Soaring Immortal Physique, imbued with immortal energy, was truly remarkable. As Zhao Ling’er danced, her movements, enhanced by her special constitution, made her seem like an immortal descending to the mortal world. Even purely classical dances exuded an enchanting beauty.

After dancing for over an hour, when Zhao Ling’er’s stamina was nearly depleted, Ye Yang signaled her to stop.

“Your constitution is too weak. Take this Bone-Strengthening Pill to enhance your physical condition,” Ye Yang said, flicking his finger to send a fragrant pill floating toward Zhao Ling’er.

Giving Zhao Ling’er a pill to boost her constitution wasn’t because Ye Yang was swayed by her beauty. Rather, he considered that although Zhao Ling’er possessed the Soaring Immortal Physique, without the nourishment of spiritual energy, it was no different from an ordinary person’s. In such a state, cultivating the Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Record with her might not go smoothly.

In the cultivation world, a top-tier special constitution like the Soaring Immortal Physique, even without embarking on the path of cultivation, would naturally surpass ordinary people due to the nourishment of spiritual energy. A Soaring Immortal Physique in the cultivation world would inherently have an extraordinary physique.

A Soaring Immortal Physique indistinguishable from an ordinary person’s was unprecedented. The cultivation of the Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Record required performing some highly complex movements. Based on Zhao Ling’er’s stamina during her dance, she wouldn’t be able to sustain those movements for long. If she couldn’t, it could lead to the failure of Ye Yang’s cultivation of the Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Record. As the foundation of his strength, Ye Yang couldn’t allow that to happen. Thus, spending a single, insignificant pill to enhance Zhao Ling’er’s constitution was absolutely necessary.

“Mr. Ye, I haven’t earned this …” Zhao Ling’er hesitated, looking at the Bone-Strengthening Pill floating before her, then shook her head to refuse. She desperately wanted the pill, as it could transform her, granting strength beyond ordinary comprehension.

However, last night’s question about sharing a room might have already made Ye Yang think she was too forward. If she now accepted everything Ye Yang offered, it would only confirm that impression. So, despite her desire for the pill, she had to refuse to avoid being underestimated by Ye Yang. Once underestimated, regaining his favor would be incredibly difficult.

“Take it when I give it to you,” Ye Yang said, sensing her thoughts through his soul-capturing technique and shaking his head with a smile. “You don’t need to overthink. If you don’t take the Bone-Strengthening Pill to enhance your constitution, your stamina won’t be sufficient to assist me in comprehending your Wisdom Root.”

To be honest, Ye Yang didn’t care whether Zhao Ling’er and others with special constitutions had ulterior motives. In his view, whether they had intentions or not made no difference—it had no impact on him. Especially after cultivating the Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Record. As the highest known cultivation technique in the cultivation world, its special effects went beyond accelerating cultivation. It could also make his cultivation partners develop an unwavering, life-and-death devotion to him.

Otherwise, individuals with top-tier special constitutions, once they grew in strength, would become formidable figures. With great power comes a strong personality. When their strength was weak, they might not show it, but as they grew stronger, they might not accept that someone cultivating the Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Record had multiple partners. This could lead to conflicts among them. The life-and-death devotion effect of the Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Record eliminated the possibility of such conflicts among his partners. Once Zhao Ling’er and the others developed this devotion to Ye Yang, whether they initially had ulterior motives would become irrelevant.

“Since Mr. Ye says so, I’ll accept it,” Zhao Ling’er said after a moment of thought, hearing that her weak stamina would hinder Ye Yang’s comprehension of her Wisdom Root. She reached out and took the Bone-Strengthening Pill.

“Good. Go take it now and enhance your constitution,” Ye Yang nodded.

“Yes,” Zhao Ling’er nodded, gave Ye Yang a respectful bow, and returned to her room to consume the Bone-Strengthening Pill.

After Zhao Ling’er left, Ye Yang lay on the sofa in the villa’s hall and closed his eyes. The moment he did, he began sensing the spiritual energy of the task jade token in Zhao Qingzhi’s possession. Upon detecting it, Ye Yang used that spiritual energy to view Zhao Qingzhi’s current perspective.

When he left yesterday, Ye Yang’s divine sense had picked up that Zhao Qingzhi was meeting with the Medicine family, who possessed the Longevity Flower, today.

A medicinal family with thousands of years of heritage like the Medicine family was something Ye Yang intended to subtly manipulate through Zhao Qingzhi to bring under his control. Once subdued, the spiritual herbs accumulated by the Medicine family over millennia would all belong to Ye Yang.
