Yunxi sent a thread of divine sense into Ye Yuchen's Meridians. She wanted to assess the extent of the damage to his Dantian, and discovered that it was covered in cracks of varying sizes, yet there were no holes in it. In that regard, his condition was far better than hers had been back then.
Ye Yuchen's Dantian was now like a cracked teacup. If water were poured into it, it might burst the cup apart entirely. Every time a cultivator advanced, their Dantian expanded under the pressure of Spiritual Qi to increase its reserves. But the moment Ye Yuchen cultivated, his Dantian would shatter completely. That was why Ye Yirui had gone to such great lengths to freeze her younger brother in ice.
Although Ye Yirui constantly nourished him with Spiritual Qi, Ye Yuchen's body had still begun to decline. Before his Dantian was damaged, he had only just reached Foundation Establishment. Foundation Establishment cultivators had a lifespan of two hundred years, and Ye Yirui must have previously sustained Ye Yuchen with Life-Giving Pills to keep him alive until now. But three hundred years was already the limit, which was why she was so anxious.
Yunxi's divine sense made a circuit through the Meridians throughout Ye Yuchen's body before she prepared to withdraw it. As she did, she caught sight of a blood-red gemstone ring on the little finger of his right hand. In the next instant, fragmented images flashed rapidly before her eyes, as though dragging her back to the moment she overcame her Spirit Transformation tribulation.
Three breaths later, those images vanished completely. Yet the look Yunxi gave Ye Yuchen became exceedingly complicated, and she then turned her gaze toward Ye Yirui.
Ye Yirui looked at Wei Yunxi, whose expression was unreadable, and asked in a hoarse
