Chapter 277: Chapter 277 Elf Body

Liu Chengqing immediately smiled and said, "You wouldn’t be asking me to help you find a spiritual medicine like White Jade Grass, would you?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly, "I know it’s hard to find, but please help me keep an eye out. Any information would be appreciated."

Liu Chengqing nodded and said, "No problem, give me the names of the herbs you need, and I’ll let you know if I hear anything."

"Yiyi, go fetch me some paper and a pen."

Duan Yiyi nodded and ran off to get paper and pen.

Qin Yi wrote down the needed herbs and handed the list to Liu Chengqing.

Liu Chengqing looked it over, and his expression changed slightly because the herbs Qin Yi needed were all once-in-a-lifetime spiritual medicines, and he needed six types.

"Alright, if I can find them, I’ll bring them to you. If not, I’ll still inform you of any leads."

"Thank you!"

In truth, to cleanse marrow and transform bloodlines and physique requires seven types of spiritual medicines. Qin Yi had already found White Jade Grass but was missing six more.

Qin Yi said in a deep voice, "I happened to be present at the Heavenly Pit incident in Huahai City, and there is a commonality in both incidents."

"What commonality?"

Liu Chengqing and Duan Xinyuan both looked at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi said, "Crowds, large gatherings of people. At the time in Huahai City, a flower festival was being held, with thousands of people in the square. This time it was the school auditorium, gathering over a thousand students."

"I suspect the appearance of the Heavenly Pits may be related to areas with dense populations."

Liu Chengqing and Duan Xinyuan nodded slightly.

"We’ll pay attention to this and try to prevent large gatherings in the future."

Qin Yi smiled, noncommittal.

Eliminating such gatherings is impossible. Just think about the foot traffic in those large malls daily—thousands upon thousands. How can you eliminate that?

Liu Chengqing looked at Qin Yi, "Any other discoveries?"

"The state should develop effective weapons against these monsters. Relying solely on each city’s Guardians might not be enough to stop the Blood Ghost Vines and Blood Monkeys. These creatures appear in the tens of thousands, not to mention terrifying beings like the Earth Demons."

Liu Chengqing nodded lightly, "You’re right. The state is actually urgently developing such weapons. We’ve found that ordinary firearms are useless against these creatures; their speed is too fast. High-damage weapons can’t even be used in cities."

Qin Yi was about to speak when he suddenly glanced at Liu Yiren, sitting next to Liu Chengqing, his face showing surprise.

Everyone subconsciously followed Qin Yi’s line of sight, and their expressions changed dramatically.

Duan Yiyi exclaimed, "Little rascal, what’s wrong?"

They saw Liu Yiren curled up, trembling, exuding a terrifying chill from her body. Her skin was covered with bead-like ice drops; her eyebrows and hair were frosted white, making her look as if she had a head full of white hair.

Liu Chengqing’s face changed drastically, "Yiren, how do you feel?"

"Third... Third Grandpa, I’m cold, so cold..." Liu Yiren’s teeth chattered; at this moment, she had none of her usual domineering young lady demeanor and was like a small flower in a storm, seemingly about to wither at any moment.

"Don’t be afraid; Third Grandpa is here..."

Liu Chengqing spoke and began to move energy to treat Liu Yiren.

Liu Chengqing cultivated Fire Attribute Technique, which could counter Liu Yiren’s coldness.

But clearly, Liu Chengqing’s Fire Attribute Technique wasn’t practiced enough, only slightly reducing the chill on Liu Yiren’s body.

Duan Yiyi worriedly watched Liu Yiren, subconsciously rubbing her arms. Just getting within a meter of Liu Yiren, one could feel the terrifying cold, making the entire body shiver.

Duan Xinyuan looked at Liu Feng, "What’s happening with Miss Liu?"

Liu Feng was full of concern, "Miss has had a strange illness from birth, cold as ice all over, relapsing almost monthly. Each time it’s like a trip to the gates of hell."

Qin Yi stared at Liu Yiren, and suddenly his eyes lit up, almost feverishly. What strange illness; it’s not that, but a rare physique.

Moreover, this type of physique is almost never seen in thousands of years. To a cultivator, Liu Yiren is an inexhaustible natural spiritual treasury.

This is the Spiritual Essence Physique, also called Elf Body.

The ice drops appearing on Liu Yiren’s skin are the purest Spiritual Energy condensed into Spiritual Pearls. Generally, a Qi Refiner senses Spiritual Energy as tiny dots; absorbing them all night wouldn’t match these few dozens of Spiritual Pearls.

Qin Yi stood and walked over, speaking to Liu Chengqing, "Step aside, let me!"

Liu Chengqing hesitated almost not at all and immediately retreated, letting go, which caused Qin Yi to be slightly taken aback.

Without further thought, Qin Yi slowly raised his hand. Instantly, brilliant, dazzling Purple Light surged from his palm, in the blink of an eye enveloping all of Liu Yiren.

Actually, there was no need for this, but Qin Yi needed to cover his tracks. Because he was absorbing the Spiritual Energy Pearls from Liu Yiren.

The Spiritual Energy Pearls mingled in the Purple Light, all falling into Qin Yi’s palm and then penetrating through his pores... Qin Yi’s eye muscles twitched slightly, what a rich Spiritual Energy.

If absorbing Spiritual Energy from the air normally feels like a small stream, then absorbing the Spiritual Energy from Liu Yiren is like a surging river.

Qin Yi even felt like he was bathing in a Spiritual Energy bath.

If he absorbed and refined like this, Qin Yi felt he could break through another level in a short time.

Three minutes later, the Purple Light enveloping Liu Yiren gradually dissipated.

Everyone watched nervously.

When the Purple Light completely retracted, everyone heaved a collective sigh of relief.

Liu Yiren was back to normal.

"Yiren, how do you feel?" Liu Chengqing asked with deep concern.

Liu Yiren smiled with visible teeth, "Third Grandpa, I’m fine now!"

Liu Chengqing bowed deeply to Qin Yi, "Qin Yi, great gratitude goes unspoken. If you ever need anything from this old man, consider it done!"

"Yiren, quickly thank Qin Yi."

Liu Yiren stood up, looking at Qin Yi, her demeanor somewhat bashful, she softly said, "Thank you! I won’t dislike you anymore in the future."

Qin Yi chuckled, Liu Yiren was still just a child, about seventeen or eighteen, similar to Qin Wan’er, with that childish innocence, her preferences entirely based on subjective feelings.

In truth, he should be the one thanking Liu Yiren; in just a few minutes, he had absorbed more Spiritual Energy than in two months of his usual cultivation.

Duan Xinyuan said, "I just heard Liu Feng mention that Miss Liu experiences this almost every month?"

Liu Chengqing sighed lightly, looking at Liu Yiren with a pang of heartache, "This child is unfortunate; she was born with this strange illness, making it impossible for her to live carefree like ordinary children. We must always watch her to prevent any incidents."

"Liu Feng was right; Yiren relapses almost monthly. Each time, her body becomes like an ice cellar, teetering on the brink of death every time."

"For her sake, I abandoned my original Cultivation Technique and switched to cultivating a Fire Attribute Technique, hoping to cure her illness. But over the years, we’ve tried every possible method, yet we remain powerless against Yiren’s condition."
