Chapter 293: Two Kinds of Spirit Bodies!

At the sight of Li'er's delicate jade-like arm, Ye Yuan couldn't help but be startled.

That arm was as smooth and translucent as mutton-fat white jade, as if it did not belong to the mortal world.

This arm could almost be described as perfect.

Looking again at Li'er's somewhat eerie face, Ye Yuan felt an extremely strong contrast!

Ye Yuan found it very puzzling—how could two such extremes appear on the same woman?

"Young Master Ye?" Li'er prompted.

Ye Yuan snapped back to reality and smiled awkwardly. "Sorry, I was distracted."

With that, Ye Yuan closed his eyes, cleared his mind of distractions, and began to diagnose Li'er.

Ye Yuan's brow gradually furrowed, deeper and deeper.

Seeing Ye Yuan's expression, Li'er asked, "Young Master Ye, have you noticed something?"

At that moment, Ye Yuan released Li'er's wrist, but the slippery sensation of her skin involuntarily stirred his heart.

That touch was truly unforgettable!

Ye Yuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly—how could such a woman have such a face? What a pity!

Yan'er, seeing Ye Yuan's wistful expression, knew he was letting his imagination run wild.

She was well aware of her mistress's charm.

Seeing Ye Yuan silent, Yan'er couldn't help but speak first: "Can't say it, can you? I knew it. A mere junior alchemist, pretending to be a master at pulse-taking. So many renowned physicians have seen my mistress's illness and found no clue. I don't know where you get the nerve! Those words just now—who knows how you bluffed them!"

Ye Yuan ignored her and asked Li'er, "Miss Li'er, have you ever practiced eye techniques?"

Li'er had initially thought Ye Yuan was just a half-baked pretender, but upon hearing this, she perked up and nodded. "Yes, I have practiced eye techniques since childhood."

Ye Yuan nodded and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, Miss Li'er must have made rapid progress in your eye techniques, right?"

"That's right. How could you tell, Master Ye? Could it be... that my strange illness is related to practicing eye techniques?" Li'er asked in surprise.

Ye Yuan had only taken her pulse; without Li'er actively releasing her eye power, he could not have detected it.

The alchemists who had diagnosed her before all knew she practiced eye techniques, but Ye Yuan did not.

He had discovered her practice of eye techniques solely through pulse-taking—clearly extraordinary!

Moreover, from Ye Yuan's words, her illness seemed to be closely related to practicing eye techniques!

Ye Yuan did not answer Li'er's question but continued, "Miss Li'er, do you experience periods of lethargy every few months, feeling listless in everything you do?"

Li'er had now completely put away her contempt and said seriously, "Indeed! Previously, this condition occurred every few months, each time lasting three to five days. But recently, the intervals between episodes have grown shorter, while the duration has become longer. My father has consulted countless renowned physicians, yet none could diagnose this illness! I never expected that Young Master Ye, so young, would possess such skill!"

Yan'er, who had been standing by, no longer showed any trace of disdain; instead, she pricked up her ears to listen.

She had been present when those so-called famous doctors examined the young lady, but none of them could explain anything.

Yet this young man, after only a brief diagnosis, had discerned so much!

Compared to this Ye Yuan, those so-called famous doctors were nothing but dregs!

Over these days, seeing the young lady suffer from the illness, Yan'er had felt her pain as if it were her own.

But though she worried, she was utterly helpless!

Even the master was at his wit's end; what could she do?

Hearing Li'er's praise, Ye Yuan showed no sign of pride. He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Miss Li'er, you truly are a bundle of contradictions!"

Li'er was startled and asked, "What does Young Master Ye mean by that?"

Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said, "Forgive my bluntness. I observe that Miss Li'er has a jade-like bone structure, a sign of extreme nobility, yet your features are highly asymmetrical. I also see that you possess the Moonlight Celestial Eye physique, which allows you to cultivate eye techniques with remarkable speed, yet you also have the Innate War Soul physique."

Both Li'er and Yan'er looked bewildered, clearly having no knowledge of the Innate War Soul physique.

"Young Master Ye, what kind of spiritual physique is the Innate War Soul? I have never heard of it. Please enlighten me," Li'er asked.

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "In the current practice of martial arts, one first gathers Yuan, then cultivates the soul, and then comprehends the Dao. Hence, there are the Upper Three Realms, Middle Three Realms, and Lower Three Realms. This cultivation system is very complete, and most martial artists in the world follow this path."

As Ye Yuan spoke calmly, Li'er and Yan'er were both shocked.

They had never expected that someone from a small sect in the Southern Domain could be so familiar with the cultivation system of the three realms.

"However, it is said that hundreds of thousands of years ago, there was a peerless expert who possessed the Innate War Soul physique. He followed the path of unity of flesh and spirit and eventually entered the divine realm! It is said that those with this physique gradually merge their body and soul, thereby achieving the supreme Dao!" Ye Yuan continued.

Li'er listened in astonishment. She had never heard of such a terrifying spiritual physique. And she herself was the owner of this physique!

"Do you mean..." Li'er was quick-witted and had clearly guessed what Ye Yuan was about to say.

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Exactly. The Moonlight Celestial Eye physique is also a divine-level physique, and its cultivation requires the support of soul power! That is to say, these two physiques are simultaneously tearing at your soul! Until one day, they split your soul in two! Your current symptoms are not yet obvious; you only feel drowsy. But in the future, the pain in your soul will become clearer, and that tearing sensation will make you wish you were dead!"

When Ye Yuan broke through to the Liquid Yuan realm, he had experienced that soul-tearing pain himself. The agony, worse than death, was still fresh in his memory.

If a person were to suffer such torment every day, even an iron man would break down, let alone a young girl.

And Ye Yuan knew that even a Divine King realm expert would ultimately die under such torture!

Either of these two physiques alone was extremely formidable, but having both concentrated in one person was fatal.

Upon hearing Ye Yuan's words, Yan'er burst into tears: "Nonsense! You must be talking nonsense! This Innate War Soul physique has never been heard of. How do you know about it?"

Ye Yuan sighed and said, "I didn't expect to encounter such a physique either. But just now, through Miss Li'er's pulse, I vaguely sensed the tearing and absorbing force of her flesh on her soul. This state is exactly the same as the Innate War Soul physique!"

Ye Yuan was extremely sensitive to soul power. Although the absorbing force within Li'er was very weak, he still detected it.
