Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 415 - 416: Family Reunion
Chapter 415: 416: Family Reunion
With the current Clan Master of the Xue Clan recognizing Tan Bingyu’s identity, the aura of suppression coming from the old man had slowly faded, and he looked at the young lady standing in front of his daughter and in law, Tang Yuyi. Moreover, he noticed another presence hiding near the door of the mansion and a few more inside the mansion. What gave him a dangerous feeling was the flame that was gathering within the person near the door. Such a flame that makes even him afraid means that it isn’t any ordinary flame. Even though the wielder is only in the innate realm with the special properties of the flame, he will be badly injured if he is careless.
The one at the door is Tan Shenyu. The reason why Tan Shenyu remains at Innateness Realm isn’t because he isn’t talented enough to break through to a higher realm, but because the qi in the Mortal Realm is simply lacking for him to increase his qi. There is also the fact that after being reborn through the nirvana flames of a phoenix, thanks to his master, Taiyang, his qi is even purer than his daughter’s. If he wanted to increase his realm, he must go to a place full of fire elements. In reality, his phoenix flames are enough to burn down a Jindan realm cultivator to ashes and badly hurt someone from the Nascent Soul realm.
Clan Leader Xue Yi descended from the air a short distance away from the mansion and stared at the people in front of the mansion who were on guard towards him. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something but unable to speak a word, as if he didn’t know what to say or how to start something. The other senior Nascent Soul cultivators behind him noticed his reaction, but they understood why after hearing their short conversation just now.
A few years ago, the news about the only daughter of the First Elder of the Snow Clan marrying outside had spread throughout the whole cultivation realm. The Snow Clan is known for its intermarriage. This is to keep their bloodline pure. After all, it was said that they are the descendants of the Ice Phoenix from the immortal world. According to history, the ancestor of the Snow Clan had a relationship with an Ice Phoenix, a mythical being that can turn humans into the dragon race. They are also a beautiful race born from the natural qi of fire. The ice phoenix race is a mutated individual born from natural qi of ice instead.
It is just that mythical creatures cannot stay in the lower realm where the qi is thin, or they will not be able to breathe in their real form. Moreover, the ancestor of the Snow Clan, who was a mortal, died at an old age. After his love died, the ice phoenix left the cultivation realm and headed to the immortal world seeking death. But it’s so hard for mythical creatures to be killed. They can only be killed by someone with overwhelming power who can suppress their race.
It was said the descendants born from the Ice Phoenix and human ancestors were born with a special physique called Nine Yin Meridians, which is considered third rank in the ice category.
The first in rank is called the Supreme Yin Constitution, which is said to control all yin elements, from ice to dark elements. Normally, one who was born with this constitution is both alive and dead.
Second in rank is Yin Moon Physique, a pure constitution born from moon energy. It can transform all kinds of yin elements into the moon without feeling any backlash when using these yin elements as power.
The third rank is the Nine Yin Meridians. This is a constitution that, if left unawakened, can kill its host. Nice are both meridians, which transform all qi in one’s body as yin ice. Once the physique is awakened, the host will possess the ability to control ice elements as easily as breathing, as if one is blessed by the God of Ice himself. However, this is a physique that is only compatible with females, but the method of awakening it was strict, and mostly only the divine doctor class can help. If this constitution were born by a male, the risk of their death is higher than females after all. Males are born from Yang; once Yang is lacking, they would become sickly and weakened.
The last possessor of these Nine Yin Meridians is the great-grandmother of Tan Bingyu, in short, the grandmother of the current Clan Master Xue. After her death, none of the other descendants had been born with Nine Yin Meridians. Because of this, the clan issued intermarriage within the Snow Clan, trying to breed descendants with only their bloodline. However, in the end, no one had been born with it except Tan Bingyu, who was discovered until now.
Clan Master Xue Yi asked, "Child, that Nine Yin Meridians, are you born with it?"
Tan Bingyu ignores Clan Master Xue Yi, as she knows that he is the one who placed his mother and grandmother in such a desolate place to live alone with no one else around them. However, the same question was asked by her grandmother, and she can only answer.
Tang Yuyi knew what kind of physique the Nine Yin Meridians are. It’s a dangerous physique whose activation requirements were unpredictable, and even the way to awaken it completely was unknown. However, it was said that those who activate this constitution will suffer extreme coldness from within their bodies, and if it isn’t controlled, the host will fall into a coma with their aura emitting coldness that can turn the place covered in frost and ice.
"I don’t know. It was only when I reached adulthood that my affinity with ice elements got stronger until it was beyond my control, and I fell into a coma for a few years. Father found the divine doctor in the Mortal Realm, and that’s why I awakened this physique," explained Tan Bingyu.
"Divine Doctor!!"
Everyone exclaimed when they heard about the Divine Doctor. This is an existence that everyone who is sick yearns to meet. Even people with sick loved ones would want to see it. No one in the world wouldn’t get sick or ill; even cultivators sometimes suffer from unknown ailments and seek doctors about this. Among them, within this group of Yuanying (Nascent Soul) realm cultivators, one of them suddenly appeared before Tan Bingyu.
"Kid, tell me where the divine doctor is," a nascent soul old man asked.
It was such an abrupt move that it caught everyone off guard. Only Tan Bingyu was able to attack back almost immediately after her shoulders were grabbed.
Whoosh!
The ice came back to life and surrounded Tan Bingyu. The old man who suddenly approached Tan Bingyu clicked his tongue. As for Clan Master Xue Yi, he was enraged. How can this damn old man touch his granddaughter?
"You are seeking death! How can you touch my granddaughter!?" shouted Clan Master Xue Yi finally attacked. He was blocked by the other Yuanying cultivator, who tried to fix the situation.
"Calm down! Don’t start a fight all of a sudden!"
Tsk!
"Clan Master Xue, do you think this old man is afraid of you? If your granddaughter doesn’t say where the divine doctor is, she will have to come with this old man!" The other Yuanying old man declared.
As soon as he said that, someone from behind threw a hidden weapon towards him. He tried to block it, but a few needles struck the old man’s hand and finally injured it. The old man, a Yuanying cultivator, was about to get really angry for real. Tan Huangyu had finally arrived, glaring at these old men who were gathering in front of the mansion.
With a cold face, Tan Huangyu said, "Did you just say that you wanted to kidnap my granddaughter? Who the hell do you think you are?!"
The fight finally broke out between these old men, with Xue Yi and Tan Huangyu on one side and the other two on the other. However, the two old men from the other side are both mid-stage Nascent Soul, while on the other side, Xue Yi is at the early stage and old man Tan is at the mid-stage Yuanying realm. As the fight went on between the old men, those at the mansion were all surprised by Tan Huangyu’s arrival.
Tan Bingyu said, "It’s Grandpa. I told you, Dad, Grandpa has fallen in the same area!"
"He must have gotten lost. This place is full of formations. That old man had never been good with things like that," said Tang Yuyi about her husband, whom she hadn’t seen for years. Even for a tough woman like her, seeing her beloved, whom she had missed all these years, brought tears to her eyes.
Tan Shenyu and Xue Shuyi comforted their mother, "Mom, don’t cry."
"That’s right. Our family is finally complete again!" Tan Shenyu said.
The battle ended up with Xue Yi and Tan Huangyu having the upper hand. The two old men who love to sneak around and overpower people with their realm can only run when meeting someone like Tan Huangyu, who seems to possess endless qi. In reality, his qi had been transformed to become purer thanks to the pills he had been eating all these years.
