Actually, without Xiao Yan's reminder, Ruolin and the others all felt the change in the zither music.
The chill in the zither music surged, making their bodies feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave, completely cold and gradually unbearable.
Xun'er was truly shocked by this; she possessed the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Heavenly Flame, ranked fourth on the Heavenly Flame list, so how could she feel cold?
The zither music disturbed the mind, and Nalan Yanran ignited her body's hidden dangers from within. Xiao Yan's zither music naturally not only affected the body but also penetrated directly into the soul.
Xun'er could rely on the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Heavenly Flame to protect her body from the invasion of coldness, but she couldn't resist the influence on her soul.
Xiao Yu and Xue Ni truly couldn't resist, so they pulled Xue Ni and jumped into the hot spring.
They held hands with Ruolin and the others, borrowing the Dou Qi of the others to protect their own bodies.
However, Nalan Yanran, who was surrounded by the five, felt the Dou Qi vortex in her lower abdomen suddenly tremble.
Immediately, a tingling sensation came from the Dou Qi vortex, as if countless ants were crawling over it, an indescribable discomfort.
Masculine and feminine energies transformed freely at Xiao Yan's fingertips, his ten fingers swirling like flying snow across the sky, and the sound of the strings suddenly rose. At the peak of his zither playing, the hot spring mist suddenly began to spin rapidly.
It was like searching for the shadow of river water, or returning to the third month of spring, followed by a melody that evoked the momentum of ocean waves, and then like rugged, dangerous peaks.
Although Yun Yun, Xun'er, and the others had varying strengths, with even vast differences – the strongest reaching the Dou Huang level and the weakest only at the Dou Master level – their feelings were extremely similar.
The zither music was almost connected to their heartbeats; every sound of the zither caused their hearts to pound, and the faster the zither music, the faster their heartbeats gradually became, feeling their chests thump uncomfortably.
Among the women, the five were all relatively well-endowed. As the zither music fluctuated, it was as if they were being held in an invisible grip.
Therefore, this discomfort was not only physical but also deeply embarrassing.
How could it be like this...
The zither music intertwined, and Xiao Yan himself gradually entered a state of deep comprehension.
Some previous confusions now became completely clear.
The reason Nalan Yanran grew so quickly was likely largely related to the pills she had taken.
However, this was an incorrect absorption of medicinal power, causing great harm to her body.
And the cause of this situation was greatly related to Nalan Yanran's emotions.
Xiao Yan naturally had a very deep understanding of emotions.
Most simply, in different emotional states such as happiness, anger, or depression, one's cultivation efficiency would be completely different.
Excitement and anger, carrying a tenacious impulse, often led to faster cultivation speeds, and the probability of breakthroughs would also increase.
However, like Nalan Yanran, whose mood was always at a low point, coupled with her consumption of aggressive pills, even if it didn't erupt today, the hidden dangers in her body would manifest in the near future.
From the changes in Nalan Yanran's body, Xiao Yan directly connected it to the idea of a Dou Skill he was currently creating specifically for Xun'er.
When he created Dou Skills for Xun'er, he considered not only her Dou Qi attribute and innate talent but also her personality.
Ultimately, he decided on a zither-type Dou Skill!
For this type of Dou Skill, which required a weapon to be used, the quality of the weapon was also an important factor affecting the power of the Dou Skill.
A perfect weapon, in terms of shape and size, needed to be closely matched with the user's personality and habits in many aspects.
[You have gained an epiphany through Dou Qi condensation and the Soul Ploughing skill, you have comprehended the secret technique: Spirit Attribute Weapon.]
[Spirit Attribute Weapon: A weapon that is highly suitable for personal use, derived and condensed from elevating Dou Qi and soul power to an extremely high realm, allowing the perfect realization of one's Dou Skill power.]
[Note: The creation of a Spirit Attribute Weapon is greatly related to the control and mastery of Dou Qi and soul power; it is a realm of control and mental state, largely unrelated to power level.]
Xiao Yan raised his hand, his gaze like lightning, looking towards the center of the distant hot spring. The zither music gradually quickened, in an instant becoming like the simultaneous clang of golden drums and the charge of ten thousand horses, yet suddenly containing a soft and delicate undertone.
The intertwined zither music, in its continuous flow, condensed into an ancient azure dragon, carrying a chilling aura, slowly flying towards Nalan Yanran in the hot spring.
With the zither music, he broke open the seal within Nalan Yanran's Dou Qi vortex, and at the same time, the azure dragon guided the scorching vortex to flow out.
Guided by the zither music, the temperature of the scorching airflow gradually decreased, and as it circulated, it absorbed and refined the accumulated medicinal power in her body.
Nalan Yanran let out a soft moan; this sudden increase in Dou Qi exceeded her endurance for a time.
Xiao Yan's zither music did not directly heal Nalan Yanran's body but acted as a catalyst.
It activated all the accumulated medicinal power within Nalan Yanran's body, and then used this vast energy to repair the drawbacks that Nalan Yanran's rapid growth had brought to her body recently.
This method of healing by leveraging external power would probably be difficult even for Yao Lao to achieve so easily.
As Yun Yun's only disciple, Nalan Yanran had also taken many pills since breaking through to a Dou Master.
Of course, these pills were incomparable in grade to the Qi Gathering Powder and Purple Crystal Pill she had taken.
They were just some pills to accelerate Dou Qi recovery and heal injuries.
However, much of the medicinal power of these pills had not been fully absorbed and had accumulated within her body.
This constantly accumulating energy was quite massive for the current Nalan Yanran.
Now, stimulated by Xiao Yan's zither music, these accumulated medicinal powers were finally fully activated.
As the azure dragon zither music guided, streams of energetic mist continuously permeated from all parts of Nalan Yanran's meridians.
Yun Yun perceived the situation inside Nalan Yanran's body and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Even her internal organs were completely obscured by this dense energetic mist.
Xiao Yan naturally wouldn't let this vast energy be utilized haphazardly. He guided it with the zither music, nurturing Nalan Yanran's bones and muscles.
Nalan Yanran let out a soft groan; this alternating hot and cold nurturing, like the forging of a weapon, truly exceeded her tolerance.
However, under the nurturing of this immense energy, she could feel her physical quality improving at a terrifying speed.
Rapidly leading Nalan Yanran's original Dou Qi to circulate, Xiao Yan changed the strings to a merchant tone, the melody a flying dragon's cry of feather and merchant.
After completing the nurturing of Nalan Yanran's body, all the energy drilled into Nalan Yanran's Dou Qi vortex.
Xiao Yan put away his zither at this point, stood up, and his profound eyes lowered slightly.
The drawbacks of Nalan Yanran's body indeed erupted at a very opportune time; if she hadn't met him, her cultivation path would probably have stopped here.
