Chapter 28: Pure Yin Body Type
A grave voice came from the spiritual crystal:"Very well. Bring Adrien to Sphere City. I will meet you both there. And tell him that Alina is also coming. He will find the Dragon Heart Lotus in Sphere City itself."
Ji Fan bowed her head slightly and answered,"Yes, Master. I will go speak to Young Master Adrien about this right away."
With that, she deactivated the spiritual crystal.
Meanwhile, back in her private chambers in the Alchemy Sect, Elder Luo Bai sat in still concentration. She could hardly believe all she had just heard. Without delay, she prepared a spiritual message and sent a directive to Alina, instructing her to arrive in Sphere City within two days.
At this moment, Adrien was seated in his room, reading the latest system notifications.
Notification: Han Fi's body analysis complete. Body Type: Pure Yin Body.
Notification: The Pure Yin Body is exceedingly rare. Activating its full potential is difficult, but its abilities are equally extraordinary.
Notification (Urgent): Warning: If any malicious cultivator discovers that Han Fi possesses a Pure Yin Body, they may attempt to capture her and turn her into a cultivation furnace.
Adrien felt a ripple of worry pass through his eyes as he read the third notice. He knew all too well just how horrifying and inhuman the process of turning a girl into a living furnace could be.
He looked silently at Han Fi. He couldn't say why, but there was an unspoken bond between them—perhaps fate, perhaps something more.
Without saying a word, Adrien reached out and pulled Han Fi gently into his arms.
Han Fi stiffened with surprise at first, but the moment she felt his embrace, all her fear melted away. It felt as if she had found the safest place in the world.
She lifted her hands and rested them lightly against his back, leaning in even closer. Han Fi loved Adrien—he knew it, though for now, he didn't want to entangle himself in that relationship.
After a few quiet moments, Adrien drew back a little and looked her in the eyes with seriousness.
"Han Fi, there's something important I need to tell you… Listen carefully."
Han Fi gave a small "Mm…" in response, but her eyes betrayed a flicker of worry.
"Your body type is very special," Adrien began. "Perhaps even more special than most could imagine. But because of that, it carries serious dangers."
Han Fi met his gaze and softly replied,"It doesn't matter to me what kind of body I have or what dangers come with it. I only know one thing—as long as you are with me, no harm can ever reach me."
Adrien lifted a hand to gently rest it on her head."As long as I live, I will never let anything happen to you… Han Fi."
Afterward, he explained to her all he knew about the Pure Yin Body. Han Fi hadn't fully understood what it meant, but seeing Adrien's grave expression, she realized her constitution could bring serious threats.
Adrien asked the system in his mind,"System, is there any cultivation technique suitable for Han Fi?"
The system answered,"Yes. A cultivation technique tailored for her body type is available. It costs 2,000 shop points."
Adrien felt his chest tighten at that figure.At that price, the technique was worth hundreds of millions of low-grade spirit stones.
He fell silent for a few moments, thinking, then said,"Alright. Give me the technique. Also—do you have anything that can hide her body type from everyone else?"
The system projected an image of a pendant—its cost was 100 shop points.
Adrien nodded."Fine. I'll take both."
System:"The technique can be transferred directly to Han Fi's mind. The pendant has been placed in your inventory."
Adrien turned to her and said,"Han Fi, I'm going to give you a cultivation art now. This is what you'll use for all your training. Remember—if anyone ever asks you about your technique, you must never reveal its true nature or even its name."
Then he reached into his inventory, retrieved the pendant, and held it out to her."No matter what happens, no matter the circumstances, you must always wear this pendant."
Han Fi nodded solemnly.
As Adrien moved to place the pendant around her neck, she blushed softly, watching him with wide, shy eyes.
But the moment the pendant touched her skin, it vanished without a trace.
Han Fi gasped in shock, and Adrien looked equally startled.
The system hadn't mentioned this part at all.
Adrien quickly asked in his mind,"System—where did the pendant go?"
The system spoke:"It is still on Han Fi's neck. Never forget—you are a cultivator, and you can never predict when you may have to fight another cultivator or what conditions you may be in. That is why the pendant will always remain hidden. No one can see it unless Han Fi herself wills it to appear."
Adrien understood the system's explanation. Now, he felt no regret about spending 200 points.
He carefully explained everything about the pendant to Han Fi.
After that, he placed his fingertip gently on her forehead and transferred all the knowledge of the cultivation art into her mind.
As the information settled, Han Fi slowly opened her eyes. She looked at the title of the technique that had been passed to her: Yin Nourishing Sutra.
When she had absorbed all the information, she lifted her gaze and looked deeply into Adrien's eyes.
"Thank you, Young Master," she said softly. "If you hadn't been here today, I probably wouldn't even be alive anymore. But you saved me and made me worthy to finally step into the world of cultivation."
Adrien placed a hand lightly on her head and replied,"It's nothing, Han Fi. Honestly, I don't even know why I helped you… But whatever the reason, you are connected to me now. That means you are my responsibility."
Han Fi didn't fully understand what he meant by "connected," but when she heard the last part, her eyes grew a little misty.
Adrien pulled her into a gentle embrace."Work hard," he said, "and focus on raising your cultivation level first."
At that moment, the system's voice echoed in his mind:"Host, you should send her into the Self-Dimensional Space for cultivation. The Dual Cultivation Room there will be most suitable for her. Besides, Han Fi is already linked to you, so she can freely enter and exit the Self-Dimensional Space at will… though she does not realize this yet."
Adrien considered the system's suggestion and then turned to Han Fi.
"For now," he said, "spend some time studying this cultivation art. In the evening, I'll take you somewhere you can cultivate properly."
Han Fi nodded quietly. Then she stood up to leave. Before going, she paused and looked back at Adrien one last time before slipping out the door.
Adrien sat in silence for a while. Then, without a word, he rose and entered his Self-Dimensional Space to continue his own training.
He knew well that his combat skills and experience were still lacking—and so he dedicated most of his time to refining himself.
