Chapter 662: Chapter 661 Heavenly Fragrance Jade Body

"My benefactor!"

When Duan Rourou saw Ye Xuan appear, she immediately ran over excitedly.

Following behind Duan Rourou was Duan Jingcong.

"Young Master Ye," Duan Jingcong bowed to Ye Xuan, expressing his gratitude, "Back in the day at West Coast Sea, thank you for stepping in to save Rourou. Please accept my bow."

Having said that, Duan Jingcong gave Ye Xuan a deep bow.

Ye Xuan accepted it calmly and nodded slightly, "You have come to inquire about the Heavenly Fragrance Jade Body, haven’t you?"

During the meeting with Song Qilin, he had already received Duan Jingcong’s message, wanting to meet and express his gratitude.

However, Ye Xuan was well aware that the so-called gratitude was just on the surface; in reality, it was about discussing Duan Rourou’s Heavenly Fragrance Jade Body.

At the time he had saved Duan Rourou, Ye Xuan knew that eventually, the people behind her would come seeking him for information.

Because such a physique is of great importance, the slightest carelessness could turn one into prey.

As Duan Rourou’s grandfather, Duan Jingcong naturally did not want to see his granddaughter turned into prey, so he came searching for Ye Xuan right after he had handled the recent event.

Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Duan Jingcong’s expression grew gradually grim, "Young Master Ye, please come with me."

Saying so, Duan Jingcong led Ye Xuan and Duan Rourou into another small world.

This small world was not large, looking just like a courtyard, belonging to Duan Jingcong’s own ’Domain Realm.’

In this Domain Realm, Duan Jingcong was the sole sovereign.

Upon arriving at this Domain Realm, Duan Jingcong’s expression noticeably relaxed.

Here, he was the one in control of everything.

"Young Master Ye, let’s start our discussion now."

Duan Jingcong smiled faintly, indicating that Ye Xuan should sit down.

Duan Rourou stood obediently next to Duan Jingcong, not uttering a word.

She was aware that her physique was very special and that her grandfather had put a great deal of effort into this matter.

Being able to obtain more information from Young Master Ye was naturally a cause for happiness.

Towards Ye Xuan, Duan Rourou felt a deep sense of gratitude.

Although Ye Xuan had made it clear at the beginning that saving her was simply a transaction,

Duan Rourou felt that her life already belonged to Ye Xuan.

"What would you like to discuss?" Ye Xuan was not ill at ease, sitting in the chair, leaning back in the upper part of his body and calmly spoke.

"Naturally, it is about Rourou’s Heavenly Fragrance Jade Body," Duan Jingcong said gravely.

He paused for a moment, looking intently at Ye Xuan, and spoke seriously, "I hope for all the information you have concerning the Heavenly Fragrance Jade Body."

"As for the price, you may state it without worry. Although my Sacred Land may not compare to the East Desolate Ten Dominators, its depth is no lesser than your Eternal Mountain Ye Family."

The first part of the statement was made with a plea, while the second part carried an absolute confidence.

Ye Xuan heard this and simply smiled slightly, with a hint of playfulness, "What if I said that even if you were to give up everything in your Sacred Land, it wouldn’t be enough to exchange for the information about the Heavenly Fragrance Jade Body?"

Duan Jingcong was momentarily stunned, furrowing his brow, as if gauging the deeper meaning behind Ye Xuan’s words.

Duan Jingcong pondered, "Do you think that I cannot represent the Sacred Land? If so, you need not worry, for my true identity is that of the previous Saint Master of the Sacred Land, and my ancestors were the elder ancestors of the Sacred Land, so..."

Duan Jingcong did not finish, but his implication was clear to all.

His status within the Sacred Land was extraordinarily high.

"How many people know of the Heavenly Fragrance Jade Body?" Ye Xuan did not dwell on the topic, but asked instead.

Duan Jingcong held up four fingers and said, "Including you, me, and Rourou present here, a total of four people."

"Is the other person your ancestor?" Ye Xuan asked.

"No," Duan Jingcong shook his head and said, "It was the senior from the Meng Family, Meng Yuanjiu."

"It seems you got your information from that guy," Ye Xuan wasn’t too surprised.

Those who knew about the Heavenly Fragrance Jade Body were extremely few, and indeed, Meng Yuanjiu was among them.

After all, being one of the three great Confucian families, aside from the Confucian classics, they also possessed many Daoist Collections.

Among them, there were records concerning the Heavenly Fragrance Jade Body.

However, the records of the Heavenly Fragrance Jade Body spread among the Daoist Collections were never complete.

The true complete version was known only by a few people in this world.

Ye Xuan was one of them.

This was also why Ye Xuan had said that perhaps not even the entire Sacred Land of Qinghong could exchange for this information.

The Heavenly Fragrance Jade Body was an extremely special physique, its uniqueness second only to the Nine Great Immortal Bodies.

Especially the blood of the Heavenly Fragrance Jade Body was considered a supreme treasure.

Once the blood was revealed and detected by fierce beasts or other cultivators, then it would be the end for the Heavenly Fragrance Jade Body.

This was also why Duan Rourou had previously been chased by tens of thousands of fierce sharks.

It was because her blood had been exposed.

At that time, Fan Jian, who had abandoned Duan Rourou, actually thought it was due to her spiritual nature.

In reality, it was due to the allure produced by Duan Rourou’s Heavenly Fragrance Jade Body.

But since Duan Rourou’s cultivation wasn’t high and the Heavenly Fragrance Jade Body hadn’t fully manifested its powers, the effect wasn’t too terrifying.

However, Duan Rourou was still a cultivator, her talent wasn’t weak, and her cultivation was constantly improving.

In this process of enhancement, the power of the Heavenly Fragrance Jade Body would gradually be stimulated.

At that time, Duan Rourou would be targeted by others.

This was also why Duan Jingcong was so eager to get information about the Heavenly Fragrance Jade Body.

"Generally speaking, there are only two outcomes for the Heavenly Fragrance Jade Body," Ye Xuan said slowly, "The first outcome is to be used as a human treasure trove, imprisoned, and bled periodically until death."

Upon hearing this, Duan Jingcong’s expression turned ugly.

And the color drained from Duan Rourou’s face.

She wasn’t a fool and naturally understood that Ye Xuan was talking about her fate.

Neither of them interrupted, waiting for what Ye Xuan had to say next.

"As for the second outcome, it’s actually quite simple, which is to allow her to become a normal person without cultivation and live a safe life," Ye Xuan said.

Duan Rourou’s face grew even paler, her lips even turning white.

Both solutions were extremely cruel to her.

The first outcome was nothing but saying that after cultivation, growing stronger, she would eventually face this fate.

The second outcome was to let Duan Jingcong cripple Duan Rourou’s cultivation, making her a normal person.

Both outcomes were tragic.

Duan Rourou heard this, and her hands clenched under her sleeves until her knuckles turned white.

At that moment, she felt that fate was so unfair, why had it given her such a nightmarish physique?

What was most unacceptable was that this physique wouldn’t enhance her cultivation at all.

It merely transformed her into a fat target in the eyes of other cultivators!

Duan Jingcong naturally sensed his granddaughter’s emotional turmoil and looked at Ye Xuan, speaking softly, "Young Master Ye, is there any other way?"

"There naturally is..." Ye Xuan replied with a faint smile.
