The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

A quarter of an hour later, Xin Ruyin finally regained some strength, but a blush had already appeared on her fair face, and even her earlobes were red.

"Brother Lu, I'm alright now."

Xin Ruyin struggled slightly, got out of Lu Yao's arms, and stood up straight.

"Ruyin, what's going on? Why did this happen all of a sudden?"

Lu Yao naturally knew that this was caused by the Dragon Roar Body, but on the surface he still had to pretend not to know.

“Brother Lu, I’m fine. It’s not an illness, it’s just my constitution.”

Xin Ruyin shook her head, a look of sadness on her face.

"constitution?"

Lu Yao's expression hardened, and he gently picked up Xin Ruyin's wrist, placing his fingers on her pulse.

Although Lu Yao had not studied medical skills in the mortal world, he still had some basic knowledge and was able to examine Xin Ruyin's condition.

As Lu Yao released his divine sense and followed the meridians of Xin Ruyin's wrist, he quickly understood Xin Ruyin's condition.

Lu Yao could only conclude that the Dragon Roar Physique truly lived up to its reputation.

Xin Ruyin's meridians were all thick and strong, and the spiritual energy flowing through them revealed a powerful aura, like the roar of a true dragon, extremely fierce. However, these meridians were also extremely fragile, like thin paper, barely able to support the flow of spiritual energy, and there was a risk of the meridians breaking at any time.

This is clearly because Xin Ruyin's constitution is inherently weak and insufficient to support the growth of these meridians. As a result, the Dragon Roar Meridian can only continuously absorb Xin Ruyin's original essence, causing Xin Ruyin to become increasingly weak.

Every so often, the meridians in Xin Ruyin's body would crack due to the inability to withstand the spiritual energy, causing her great pain.

"He actually has such a domineering physique."

Lu Yao couldn't help but sigh. If the Dragon Roar Body were in a man, his achievements would probably be no weak, at least on par with Li Huayuan's Three Yang Body.

Unfortunately, being a female in a male body prevented her from fully utilizing the powerful abilities of the Dragon Roar Body, and instead became a burden to Xin Ruyin.

"It seems that Brother Lu has also discovered that this is the Dragon Roar Body. Once one cultivates immortality, the meridians will irreversibly begin to misalign and atrophy, which will have a great impact on cultivation and lifespan."

"When I discovered that I possessed the Dragon Roar Body, it was already too late. I didn't even have the chance to be an ordinary person."

Xin Ruyin looked gloomy, fully aware of her physical condition.

"Why is this happening? Is there a solution?"

Lu Yao frowned, his eyes showing heartache as he looked at Xin Ruyin.

"We haven't found a cure for Ruyin yet, but we can use thousand-year-old spiritual herbs as a catalyst to refine pills that can alleviate the symptoms of misaligned and broken meridians. That's why I teach formations in the market."

When Xin Ruyin saw the look of concern in Lu Yao's eyes, she inexplicably told him everything about her situation.

"A thousand-year-old elixir? Ruyin, don't worry, I have one!"

Lu Yao prepared a lot of thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, not only for alchemy but also for Xin Ruyin.

"Brother Lu, do you have such a precious medicinal herb?"

Xin Ruyin was stunned. Even though Lu Yao was a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the sect, she never thought that Lu Yao would have a thousand-year-old spiritual herb.

The main reason is that thousand-year-old spiritual herbs are too precious, and they are even rarer among rogue cultivators.

This item can only appear at auctions in some large markets, which is why Xin Ruyin has always stayed in Tianxing Market.

Tianxing Market has an auction house held every three years. Not to mention thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, even Foundation Establishment Pills are available. Xin Ruyin plans to raise money to buy a thousand-year-old spiritual herb at the auction.

With a wave of his hand, Lu Yao brought three jade boxes containing thousand-year-old spiritual herbs to Xin Ruyin's front.

"Three plants??" Xin Ruyin opened her cherry-like mouth, looking at Lu Yao in shock.

Lu Yao naturally possessed more than three thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. Not to mention the six thousand-year-old spiritual herbs contributed by Brother Han, Lu Yao also obtained more than a dozen thousand-year-old spiritual herbs in the Crimson Forbidden Land, which he deliberately kept behind.

"Clang! Ruyin, take a look and see if these three thousand-year-old spiritual herbs can be used as a medicinal ingredient?"

Lu Yao waved his hand to open the three jade boxes, revealing the thousand-year-old spiritual herbs inside, and asked Xin Ruyin with a smile.

“Brother Lu… Brother Lu, this is too precious, Ruyin… Ruyin…”

Xin Ruyin's voice trembled as she spoke, how could he not understand the meaning behind Lu Yao's words? He was going to give her these three thousand-year-old spiritual herbs.

“Ruyin, in my heart, your life and safety are far more important than these three thousand-year-old spiritual herbs.”

Lu Yao shook his head, gently took Xin Ruyin's hand, and said with a smile.

"Brother Lu..."

Xin Ruyin understood Lu Yao's feelings at this moment, and felt both shy and happy.

"However, this is only a temporary measure and cannot fundamentally solve the hidden dangers that the Dragon Roar Body brings to you, Ruyin. I still need to return to the sect to search through some ancient texts and must resolve this issue."

Lu Yao shook his head, sealed the three jade boxes, and said solemnly.

"Brother Lu, I am so lucky to have met you."

Touched, Xin Ruyin threw herself into Lu Yao's arms and said in a soft voice.

Lu Yao didn't speak, he just held Xin Ruyin in his arms without saying a word.

……

"Brother Lu, you're actually an alchemist?!"

Xin Ruyin's clear, watery eyes widened as she stared at Lu Yao in disbelief.

After cuddling in Lu Yao's arms for a while, Xin Ruyin told Lu Yao about refining the pill to suppress the Dragon Roar Body.

Previously, Xin Ruyin had entrusted a Tianxing Sect alchemist to refine the thousand-year-old spiritual medicine and other auxiliary spiritual medicines, and of course, there was a fee for hiring the alchemist.

Although it is a specially made pill, it falls into the category of Qi Refining level pills. It is not difficult to refine, and most alchemists can refine it successfully.

Since it was a Qi Refining level pill, Lu Yao could naturally refine it as well, so he told Xin Ruyin that he was an alchemist.

"It's always good to have many skills."

Lu Yao smiled slightly and shrugged.

“Brother Lu, this is the formula for that nameless elixir.”

Xin Ruyin took out a pill formula from her storage bag and handed it to Lu Yao.

Lu Yao only glanced at it before he roughly understood the principle behind the pill formula.

It turns out that this pill formula was not specifically used to suppress the Dragon Roar Body, but rather a kind of pill that relied on medicinal power to enhance the strength of the meridians, belonging to a relatively niche category.

The main ingredient is a thousand-year-old elixir, combined with other medicinal herbs, which can nourish the meridians.

"Don't worry, Ruyin, leave it to me."

Lu Yao put away the pill formula without hiding it, and directly took out the pill furnace from his original space.

As Lu Yao skillfully processed the medicinal herbs and refined them into herbal essence, he introduced them one by one into the alchemy furnace in a specific order to begin condensation.

Xin Ruyin immediately activated the array in the bamboo grove courtyard, isolating Lu Yao from the outside world to prevent external factors from affecting his alchemy.
