Extreme Yin Sacred Body, Supreme Treasure Dragon Source

Due to her physical condition, Qingluan could be said to have no cultivation at all. Given the abilities of those from the Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect, preventing someone without any cultivation from committing suicide shouldn’t have been difficult.

So how could they have been threatened by her?

Chen Chang'an found this situation somewhat unreasonable.

"Ah, that girl has a fierce temperament. She once said that if they tried to force themselves on her, she had ten thousand ways to kill herself."

"And the Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect’s Ancestor seems to care deeply about whether Qingluan lives or dies, which is why he hasn’t resorted to forceful measures."

"The Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect’s Ancestor said that since they were to be married, it had to appear as though Qingluan was willingly marrying him, not that she was being coerced."

"Hmph! And now he’s ordering me to command the entire city’s residents to decorate their homes with lanterns and streamers, making it as lively as possible."

"Isn’t this just being a hypocrite?" the City Lord said angrily.

"Brother, I think I might know the reason."

"If I’m not mistaken, Qingluan’s physique is likely the Extreme Yin Saint Body."

"Doesn’t that Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect’s Ancestor enjoy using people as cultivation cauldrons?"

"This physique is something ordinary people can’t endure, but it’s perfectly suited to becoming a cauldron."

"The Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect’s Ancestor seeks cauldrons to replenish his yang with yin, but ordinary women probably can’t withstand it."

"But the Extreme Yin Saint Body is different."

"That’s why that old bastard is so concerned about Qingluan’s survival," Da Huang said solemnly.

Extreme Yin Saint Body?

This was the first time Chen Chang'an had heard of such a physique, so he asked, "Da Huang, how much do you know about this physique?"

"Well… this physique is extremely rare, mainly because ordinary people can’t endure the cold energy within their bodies. Most die shortly after birth."

"The most crucial point is that in large families or major factions, infants with the Extreme Yin Saint Body are rarely born. Most appear in ordinary households, so the mortality rate is extremely high."

"On top of that, people with this physique are already scarce, so in the entire Ancient Immortal Domain, there are probably fewer than three individuals with the Extreme Yin Saint Body."

"But if someone can endure the Extreme Yin Saint Body, their cultivation speed becomes terrifyingly fast."

"It’s at least ten thousand times faster than others. If there were a ranking for physiques, the Extreme Yin Saint Body would be in the top five."

Chen Chang'an hadn’t expected the Extreme Yin Saint Body to be so powerful, though it was also exceedingly rare.

The fact that Qingluan had survived was solely due to the City Lord’s unrelenting protection. For over a hundred years, the City Lord had devoted all his efforts to his daughter.

"So it’s the Extreme Yin Saint Body?"

"No wonder… no wonder even I’ve struggled to suppress the cold energy in Qingluan’s body these past two years."

"I never imagined Qingluan would possess the legendary Extreme Yin Saint Body," the City Lord said, visibly shocked.

"I don’t care about her having some legendary physique. I just want her to live safely and peacefully."

"You… you’re the Grand Elder of the Huan Hua Immortal Sect, and you have a grudge against the Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect, right?"

"Please, I beg you, can you save my daughter?"

"Whatever you want, as long as it’s within my power, I’ll do it without hesitation." The City Lord's Wife knelt before Chen Chang'an, pleading desperately.

Chen Chang'an hadn’t expected such a reaction from her. With a gentle wave of his hand, he helped her up.

"This is a treasure passed down through my Yun family for generations."

"If you can save my daughter, I’m willing to give it to you."

The City Lord then presented his family’s heirloom. Seeing it, Chen Chang'an frowned slightly.

The energy emanating from it was strange—what was this thing?

"Holy shit!"

"Your Yun family has something like this?"

"Brother, this… this is fucking Dragon Essence!"

Seeing Da Huang so excited, Chen Chang'an grew curious. After all, it wasn’t often that Da Huang got this worked up.

"What’s Dragon Essence?" Chen Chang'an asked.

"Well, to put it simply, Dragon Essence is the condensed energy core of a true-blooded dragon."

"This thing is incredibly rare. After all, who’d be bold enough to hunt dragons for fun?"

"That’s just asking for death. Dragons are incredibly powerful and fiercely united."

"You… you actually have this?" Da Huang stared at the City Lord in disbelief.

The City Lord was equally stunned. He knew it was a family heirloom, but he had no idea what it actually was.

"You’re surnamed Yun—are you related to the Yun family of the Profound Heaven Domain?"

"No, not at all." The City Lord shook his head with a bitter smile. If they were, the Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect’s Ancestor wouldn’t have dared act so brazenly.

"Dragon Essence is extremely valuable. Are you sure you want to give it to me?" Chen Chang'an asked.

Before, the City Lord hadn’t known what the treasure was, only that it was a family heirloom. But now that he knew, Chen Chang'an had to confirm whether he was truly willing to part with it.

"Dragon Essence is indeed powerful, especially for cultivators like us."

"But even if I consumed it now, what good would it do?"

"Would it give me the strength to save my daughter in a short time? No!"

"I believe that if my Yun family ancestors knew of my decision, they wouldn’t blame me."

The City Lord had no regrets about offering his family’s heirloom to Chen Chang'an—as long as the latter could save his daughter.

"Good."

"Keep the Dragon Essence for now. Once I’ve rescued your daughter, you can give it to me then."

Chen Chang'an’s words reassured the City Lord further. It showed that Chen Chang'an was absolutely confident he could return alive from the Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect.

"I trust your character."

"Take it with you now."

"It might come in handy at a critical moment."

"Also, take this jade pendant. It’ll let my Qingluan know you’re there to save her."

The City Lord handed both the Dragon Essence and the pendant to Chen Chang'an.

Chen Chang'an looked at the City Lord curiously. "We’ve only just met. Do you really trust me this much?"

"Aren’t you afraid I might be a fraud?"

As the saying goes, one should always be wary of others. The City Lord’s behavior seemed far too trusting for a stranger—it defied common sense.

"Do I have any other choice?"

"This is my last resort!"

"Besides, I trust my judgment. You’re an honorable man," the City Lord said with a wry smile.

"You’ve got a sharp eye."

"Don’t worry. Since you’ve placed your trust in me, I won’t let you down."

"I’ll take these with me."

"Wait here patiently for your daughter’s return."

"Farewell!"
