She could feel that every single person here held no ill will toward her.
This caused her frozen heart to melt a little more.
"Thank you... everyone." Her voice was hoarse from disuse, yet very gentle.
"Alright, everyone is here now." Li Yifei clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.
"Next, we are going to start a new plan."
His expression turned serious.
"Ice and Fire Body Refining."
As the four words were uttered, Dugu Yan's eyes instantly lit up. She was someone who had personally experienced the benefits of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and knew what a massive Opportunity those four words represented.
"This plan can allow the physical quality of every one of you to undergo a complete, transformative metamorphosis, laying the most solid foundation for cultivating the Gene Primal Energy Method in the future."
Li Yifei's gaze swept over the crowd. "However, the process will be extremely painful and very dangerous. A slight mistake could lead to eternal damnation."
Hearing the words 'eternal damnation,' Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing's complexions paled slightly.
"That is why I need your help." Li Yifei's gaze finally settled on Ye Lingling and Ah Yin.
"Lingling, your Nine Heart Begonia is the safety guarantee for the entire plan. During the Body Refining process, I need you to use all your strength to maintain their vital signs. No mistakes are allowed."
Ye Lingling heard this and nodded forcefully, her small face filled with solemnity.
She knew this was a test from Li Yifei and also her only chance to integrate into this group.
"Sister Yin," Li Yifei turned to Ah Yin, his tone much gentler. "Your Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline possesses the purest and most immense life energy on the continent. At the critical moment, I need you to assist Lingling, using your Origin of life to neutralize the conflict of the Ice and Fire power and stabilize their bodies."
"Can I... do it?" Ah Yin was a little uncertain. She was currently only in a Soul state, and what she could do was very limited.
"You can." Li Yifei's answer was resolute. "Your Soul is connected to the Blue Silver Grass body. As long as I bring you together to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, you can harness the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi there to exert power far beyond what you have now. This can be considered the first step toward your resurrection."
Resurrection!
Hearing these two words, a flame named 'yearning' finally ignited in Ah Yin's hollow eyes.
She nodded forcefully.
"I am willing."
Two words, hoarse, yet containing the decisiveness of a drowning person grasping a piece of driftwood.
For resurrection, to personally witness the outcome of that wicked son, and even more so... for a brand new beginning.
"Very good." Li Yifei's gaze swept over every woman present. Their eyes showed expectation, nervousness, or fanaticism, but without exception, they were all filled with absolute trust in him.
"Then, the plan begins."
"Lingling, go to the quiet room first and absorb the Qi Luo Golden Tulip. Yanzi, Zhu Zhuqing, you two stand guard for her."
"Yes!"
Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing immediately responded.
Ye Lingling, clutching the Immortal Herb that was enough to drive any Spirit Master mad, nervously walked into a quiet room in the courtyard.
The moment the stone door closed, she looked at the iridescent tulip in her palm, her heart still pounding uncontrollably.
Is this... an Opportunity?
She hesitated no longer, sat down cross-legged, and swallowed the entire Immortal Herb.
Boom!
A surge of medicinal power, indescribably immense, instantly exploded within her body!
The rich fragrance even penetrated the stone door, permeating the entire courtyard.
Just by smelling this aroma, the spirit power of Dugu Yan and the others began to stir faintly.
Inside the quiet room, Ye Lingling's body trembled violently, and countless points of light seemed to swim beneath her skin.
Behind her, the Nine Heart Begonia Spirit emerged uncontrollably.
The pure white petals, stained by the seven-colored halo, began to undergo a visible metamorphosis.
The edges of the petals gradually took on a faint layer of gold!
In the courtyard, Li Yifei closed his eyes. His Planetary Level Spiritual Force had long enveloped the entire quiet room, clearly'seeing' the circulation of every trace of spirit power within Ye Lingling, ensuring absolute safety.
The others consciously quieted down, waiting.
Xiao Wu quietly moved next to Ah Yin, looking at her still somewhat ethereal figure, and whispered, with a tone of comfort, "Aunt Yin, don't worry. Brother Yi Fei said he could resurrect you, so he definitely can! He is amazing!"
Ah Yin turned her head and looked at Xiao Wu's pure rabbit eyes, and a trace of warmth flowed through her heart.
She reached out, wanting to pat Xiao Wu's head like an elder, but her hand passed through her body once more.
Her eyes dimmed for a moment, then immediately softened again.
"Mmm, I know."
She believed him.
Not only because he saved Xiao Wu and ended Tang Hao's nightmare, but also because this man possessed a profound inscrutability that made even her heart tremble, far surpassing that of a deity.
Dugu Yan watched this scene, feeling a sense of emotion.
She walked to Ah Yin's other side and said softly, "Sister Yin, if you ever need anything in the future, feel free to ask me anytime. This place... is our home."
The phrase 'our home' made Ah Yin's body tremble slightly.
Home...
What a distant, what a luxurious word.
She looked at the girls before her; every one of them was peerlessly beautiful, and every one of them was utterly devoted to that man.
And that man truly deserved to possess all of this.
He was creating a brand new era belonging only to him.
And she was fortunate enough to become a witness to this era, perhaps even a participant.
Just then, from the direction of the quiet room, a powerful surge of spirit power violently shot toward the sky!
Rank forty-one... Rank forty-two... Rank forty-three!
The barriers of spirit power Rank shattered like paper under the medicinal power of the Immortal Herb!
Finally, that aura slowly stabilized after climbing to Rank forty-nine.
The stone door burst open.
Ye Lingling walked out.
She was still that cold and aloof girl, but her entire temperament had undergone a heaven-and-earth-shattering change.
Her skin had become as fair as jade, as if it were glowing, and her eyes held an unprecedented confidence and brilliance.
"Brother Yi Fei!"
She quickly walked up to Li Yifei, her voice trembling with excitement.
"I... I am Rank forty-nine! And my Spirit... seems to have evolved! My healing ability is at least twice as strong as before!"
"Very good." Li Yifei nodded, not surprised by this result.
He stood up, his gaze sweeping over the crowd who were already prepared, his voice calm but carrying an undeniable power.
"Since everyone is here, then..."
He paused, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
"Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, let's go!"
