“What benefits do you want?”


  “Why not this then. You take off that veil and let me have a look at your face, how about that?” A flash sparkles within Xun Huan’s eye as he states his wish.

  He really wants to know what kind of face hides behind that cover.

  “I am afraid I can’t do that, but I can cure your kidney deficiency though.” Making a faint smirk in return, Bai Yan refutes the request and counters with her own snarky proposal.

  Twitching in the corner of his mouth, the womanizer has got to hand it to this woman. Can she stop aiming at my kidney for once?

  In order to not let her go on, he quickly sucks in a deep breath and accepts the deal: “Alright, I will help you.”


  After saying that, he slowly came before the patient that’s known as Huan Yin. Placing his hand on the girl’s backhand, he does as instructed and pushes his own energy inside.

  The pain was sharp and fierce. In no time at all, the patient was shaking all over as her lips turned a bleak dead white due to the pain.

  “If you want to step into the path of cultivation then endure it, this is only your first step!”


  Jerking to attention over that sentence, Huan Yin immediately turned up to look. She didn’t know exactly who Bai Yan was, but that pair of beautiful deep black eyes were powerful forms of support. Biting her lip, the girl presses on and grew firm this time around.

  Bang!

  Suddenly, Bai Yan’s palm materializes a cluster of flame that emulated strength and control. In a flick of her finger, the spark of heat was shot into the patient’s body, allowing the burning sensation to course through the veins at every turn.

  This treatment lasted for over half an hour. During the entire duration, Huan Yin could swear to the heavens that she would’ve died many times over due to the torturing pain. Nevertheless, at every moment when her consciousness was about to turn dark, the stern yet supportive voice kept coming over and reinvigorating her spirit and soul.

  Now, finally finished and without need to keep going, the patient collapses at the closest opportunity.

  “Huan Yin?” the womanizer asks with a frown after catching the girl. “This…. is she going to be alright?”


  No matter what Huan Yin was still his niece so the man must hold some responsibility here. Otherwise, he won’t have a good excuse to explain to his mother who’s also from the Mirage household originally.

  “Restore her blood with a Vitality Dan pill. Here, feed her this and then have her try absorbing some of the energy particles in the air.”


  Taking the beady little thing from the woman’s hand, the womanizer hurried to stuff it into his niece’s mouth. Sure enough, that pale complexion on the girl’s face swiftly changed back to a pinkish red of good color.

  But the best part came afterwards. Though Huan Yin had lost most of her consciousness at the beginning when she fainted, she did however gain enough of her senses after being caught to pick up the last remark from Bai Yan.

  Without any need for persuasion after coming to, the patient herself promptly got into a meditative pose upon awakening and discovered the truth. The spiritual energies in the air were swimming into her body through the skin before eventually reaching her meridian through the veins. There were no sharp pain like usual, in fact it was smooth and unimpeded!

  Did she do it?

  Is she able to cultivate now?

  Is the one recognized as a useless trash from the Mirage family finally able to cultivate?

  Questions like these were rampant among the guests aboard the river boat, but the inquiring gazes soon changed to shock and dismay after what they witnessed. There’s a very clear level of energy fluctuating around Huan Yin’s body!

  “How did you do this?” Due to the emotional moment, Xun Huan’s first reflex was to make a grab for Bai Yan’s shoulder to get a better answer.

  Unfortunately for the man, Bai Yan had no intent of letting anyone touch her, especially from someone who’s known as a player.

  Sliding to one side, she easily dodges the hug with careful finesse. “Merely relying on others to infuse their energy into her body is not enough. It also needs the help of someone’s flame to help burn away the filth clogging up her veins and meridian. Only by cleaning out those wastes will she be able to be like a normal person.” Pausing for a moment to think on her next part of the explanation, Bai Yan didn’t want to blow it out of proportion: “Its just that no one would dare to perform this kind of experiment because they would very likely burn away her meridian in the process. It’s true the procedure is risky to most, but if the controller has a firm grasp of his powers then the risks are superficial at most.”
