Chapter 1208 – Yin Energy

Finally after a few rings, Old Man Lin’s lazy voice came through the phone, “Lil’ Yi? What made you remember to give the old man a call? Did you see Er Goudan? Is he fine?”

“Old man, I don’t have time for this right now. I need urgent help!” Lin Yi cut off Old Man’s words. He was worried about Feng Xiaoxiao’s safety and he had no time to chat with him.

“Urgent? What’s up?” What happened on your side?” Old Man’s expressions change and his lazy voice became serious.

“It’s a weird sickness. You’ve seen it and treated it before. You didn’t have a way to treat it back then but do you have a new method to cure it now?” Lin Yi didn’t know how to tell him because he didn’t have time to tell him Feng Xiaoxiao’s situation from the beginning to the end. Even if he had time, he didn’t know how to explain it properly! After all, he was only half familiar with Feng Xiaoxiao’s situation.

“What strange sickness? What are you talking about?” Lin Yi’s words confused Old Man Lin as he didn’t know what Lin Yi was talking about.

“I’ll give the phone to Feng Tianlong and he’ll talk to you!” Lin Yi tried to save time as each second was extremely valuable. It would be easier for Feng Tianlong to talk to Old Man instead of himself.

Feng Tianlong watched as Lin Yi passed his phone to him and paused slightly, but still picked up, “Hello, I’m Feng Tianlong…”

“Feng Tianlong… Feng Tianlong…” Old Man Lin muttered the name and suddenly felt overwhelmed. Memories flow out and he felt as if he returned to the old days! Those days and their friendship was irreplaceable.

“Hello? Who is this?” Feng Tianlong found it strange that the man’s voice sounded familiar but somewhat strange. He only muttered his name without speaking, making Feng Tianlong confused.

“Lil’ Feng, I’m Lin Dongfang.” Old Man Lin sighed, “I never imagined that Lil’ Yi would be with you…”

“Mr. Lin, it’s really you!” Feng Tianlong sank into a touched and excited state, “Mr. Lin, where are you? I’ve heard that you now live in seclusion and there was no news on you and team leader…”

“Let’s skip the reminisce first, let’s talk about your situation first. Isn’t Susu gone? What… Oh, is it your daughter?” Lin Dongfang calculated the age and sighed that time was merciless! In a blink of an eye, it had been almost twenty years. It meant that Feng Tianlong’s daughter was also at the end of her life.

He felt guilty for not finding a way to treat Feng Tianlong’s wife’s illness, but it wasn’t a usual condition. He had never seen or even heard of it before!

He had been researching on it for all these years yet he still hasn’t found a way to cure it! He recalled that he confidently promised Feng Tianlong and his wife, Xiao Susu, that he would find a way to cure their daughter, but he made no progress over the years!

“Yes, my daughter Feng Xiaoxiao. Little Yi treating her right now. Mr. Lin, do you have a way to treat her?” Feng Tianlong never thought he could meet Lin Dongfang again at a time like this, and if Lin Dongfang had a way, perhaps the situation will change!

“Pass the phone to Lil Yi, I’ll talk to him about it.” Old Man Lin sighed as he couldn’t bear to tell Feng Tianlong had he didn’t know what to do either.

“Ok, please wait a moment!” Feng Tianlong knew that it wasn’t the time to talk as they needed to save Feng Xiaoxiao first. Feng Tianlong quickly passed the phone back to Lin Yi, “Mr. Lin wants to speak to you.”

“Old man, what do you say? You know what it is now right?” Lin Yi panicked, “Do you know how to cure it?”

“No… Or temporarily, no.” Old Man Lin sighed, “I read numerous ancient books to check this condition and I’ve visited many people, there’s only a brief conclusion we’ve made known!”

“Oh? Tell me what it is!” Lin Yi’s heart sank when Old Man Lin said no, but he didn’t want to give up. He wanted Old Man to tell him more about Feng Xiaoxiao’s condition and see if he could find a way to cure it.

After all, he had Jiao Yazi and he could talk to him about it. Perhaps they will be able to find a way to solve the problem.

“Well… Her condition is similar to Xiao Susu, and she was poisoned by the legendary venomous insect. But I don’t know if it’s the same for her although it looks similar!” Old Man Lin replied, “I went to visit Xiao Susu’s hometown, I also made Feng Tianlong give me Xiao Susu’s family tree to me through the investigation office and found a problem!”

“Xiao Susu? What problem?” Lin Yi quickly asked.

“Xiao Susu is Feng Tianlong’s wife,” Old Man Lin said, “Xiao Susu’s ancestor is a sect protector like the high priest. All of her ancestors were protectors but without knowing why, her line branched away from her original sect, or perhaps her branch was perished. They lost their mind cultivation method to guide the Yin energy out of their body and caused all this tragedies…”

“Yin energy?” Lin Yi didn’t know there was such a story behind it and he was surprised, “What should I do now? Old Man, what did you mean by there’s temporarily no solution? Does it mean that it could still be cured?”

“Yes. Yin energy is cold energy and it will become weak when it comes in contact with something stronger. If there’s an appropriate mind cultivation method with suitable style of cultivation, the cultivators can slowly guide the Yin energy for their own use, becoming a supporting type of pure energy and to increase their power! In other words, using the stronger one as the main cultivation and using Yin energy as the supporting cultivation. However, Feng Tianlong’s wife and daughter, even the generations that came before them all mainly cultivated Yin energy, hence their bodies encountered problems!” Old Man Lin explained, “Yin energy is similar to Er Goudan’s poison, it will swallow parts of the body’s nutrients. As they age, the Yin energy inside them will age too. When they become twenty years old, the Yin energy will be formed completely and swallow all the nutrients left over. Other than waiting for the energy to eat away the body’s vitality, there was no other possibility.”

“Oh my…” Lin Yi was shocked. So this was what Feng Xiaoxiao’s condition was! No wonder her hands were always cold when he touched them…
