Chapter 294: Soul Secret Technique and Eighth-Grade Dan Recipe!

Yan'er suddenly wiped away her tears and said, "I see! You must be coveting our young lady's beauty, so you deliberately said that, didn't you? Let me tell you, give up that idea; our young lady already has someone in her heart!"

As soon as Yan'er spoke, Li'er's expression darkened, a look of sorrow in her eyes.

Ye Yuan was taken aback. He glanced at Li'er's face but said nothing.

As for that face, Ye Yuan didn't find it repulsive, but he certainly wasn't coveting her beauty, was he?

What was all this about?

This Miss Yan'er really had an inflated confidence in her young lady!

Not to mention Li'er, even Yan'er herself couldn't be considered a 'beauty,' could she?

"Yan'er, stop talking nonsense. With this appearance of mine, it's already extremely rare that Young Master Ye doesn't despise me. Where is there any beauty?" Li'er glared at Yan'er and said irritably.

"But miss, you didn't see the lecherous look on his face just now!" Yan'er refused to let it go.

Ye Yuan shook his head and said helplessly, "Since Miss Yan'er doubts my motives, consider it unsaid. My senior brothers are waiting for me. Ladies, farewell!"

Ye Yuan didn't take offense, but that didn't mean he had no temper.

This Yan'er had far too high an opinion of herself. Even if he had never seen a woman before, he wouldn't be instantly smitten by such an appearance, would he?

If he continued, his good deed of saving someone would seem like he had ulterior motives.

"Young Master Ye, please wait! Yan'er, shut up!" As Ye Yuan turned to leave, Li'er quickly called him back.

"Miss Li'er, I was just speaking casually. Pretend you didn't hear it," Ye Yuan said.

Li'er shook her head and said, "Yan'er is ignorant. Although your cultivation level is not high, your medical skill is the best I have ever seen! May I ask, sir, is there a solution for my spiritual body condition?"

Ye Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Do you really want to hear it?"

Li'er nodded and said, "It concerns life and death, so naturally I want to hear it."

"But we've only met by chance. Can you truly trust me?"

"Young Master Ye has a chivalrous heart. I am already extremely grateful. How could I not trust you? If others saw me like this, they would surely keep their distance. But you risked your life to return alone and save me. This shows your righteousness; you are a trustworthy person!" Li'er said.

If it were any other young man, hearing such praise would make him feel elated, but Ye Yuan was very calm.

He only acted according to his conscience; whether the mistress and maid were grateful or not, he didn't really care.

But Yan'er not only wasn't grateful, she also made baseless conjectures about him, which inevitably made him somewhat angry.

However, Li'er's words seemed to have a soothing magic; Ye Yuan found them pleasant to hear, and the earlier displeasure dissipated.

This made Ye Yuan sigh again: this Miss Li'er seemed perfect in every way except for her unsightly appearance!

Ye Yuan sighed and said, "Alright, since Miss Li'er trusts me, I'll speak my mind."

Li'er bowed gracefully and said with a smile, "Li'er thanks Young Master Ye."

Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me yet. To be honest, your rare dual spiritual body is extremely troublesome! The importance of the soul to a person goes without saying. If your soul is completely torn in two, death awaits you!"

When it came to life and death, Li'er showed little emotion and asked calmly, "In your opinion, how much longer can I live?"

Ye Yuan estimated for a moment and said, "That depends on the awakening speed of your Innate War Soul Body. If it's fast, three to five years; if slow, about ten years."

Li'er was startled: "Awakening?"

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Exactly. Your symptoms started appearing only in the last few years, right?"

Li'er nodded and said, "Yes, about three years ago."

"That's right! The Innate War Soul Body is not present at birth; it awakens later through triggers! Once awakened, this spiritual body automatically begins to fuse the soul until body and soul are one! This spiritual body is extremely heaven-defying. During the fusion process, the owner's cultivation speed increases rapidly, and there are no bottlenecks until breaking through to the Divine Realm!" Ye Yuan explained.

Li'er took a deep breath and said, "So even if I stop cultivating now, the Innate War Soul Body will still tear my soul apart?"

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "If you didn't have the Moonlight Heavenly Eye Body but another spiritual body, this fusion of body and soul wouldn't affect you much. However, the cultivation of the Moonlight Heavenly Eye Body also requires soul power. After years of cultivation, your soul power has fully adapted to the Moonlight Heavenly Eye, so..."

Hearing this, Li'er smiled bitterly and said, "I never thought such a thing would happen to me. Young Master Ye, is there still hope for me?"

Ye Yuan smiled wryly and said, "I have a method that might resolve your crisis, but it's almost the same as not saying it, because I can't help you now."

Li'er's expression darkened, but she still said, "Please enlighten me, Young Master Ye!"

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "I know a soul secret technique, supplemented by an eighth-grade dan, that can split the soul into two parts to cultivate independently! If you can split your soul in two and merge one part into your eyes, the spiritual body crisis will naturally be resolved."

Yan'er's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "In that case, why don't you just teach us the soul secret technique and the dan recipe?"

Li'er's eyes widened, and she finally said with slight anger, "Yan'er!"

Whether it was the soul secret technique or the eighth-grade dan recipe, both were extremely precious. Yan'er's request was a major taboo.

Even close acquaintances would find it hard to make such a request, let alone strangers who had just met.

Yan'er's tears streamed down again, and she knelt with a thud before Ye Yuan, crying, "Young Master Ye, I apologize to you! I know this request is very abrupt, but my young lady is also a poor soul. I really can't bear to see her wither away like this! Please have mercy and save her!"

Seeing Yan'er like this, Li'er couldn't help but shed tears.

Ye Yuan sighed, helped Yan'er up, and said, "Miss Yan'er, there's no need for this. When it comes to saving people, I never refuse. It's fine to give you the soul secret technique and the eighth-grade dan recipe, but even if I do, you won't be able to refine the dan. And without the dan, cultivating this soul secret technique is too dangerous."

"How could that be? With the dan recipe, how could we not refine the dan?" Yan'er thought Ye Yuan was making excuses, unwilling to hand over the soul secret technique and dan recipe.

Ye Yuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Alright, since Miss Yan'er doesn't believe me, I'll give you the soul secret technique and the dan recipe. But Miss Li'er, you must remember: never cultivate the soul secret technique without refining the dan!"
