The Way of The Dao

Feng Ye passed the pill to Feng Zhiyun and the latter watched it for an indefinite time before swallowing it. He also had the guards come out and protect the surroundings.

Only Yuan Ming remained stubbornly with his three bodyguards. His expression showed that he was concerned about Feng Zhiyun.

"Focus and relax, Yun'er. Father will take care of protecting you and not let anything happen to you!" Feng Junze assured her daughter with complete confidence. This was the last chance for his daughter to recover.

Feng Zhiyun nodded and closed her eyes, in a lotus position as she tried to very carefully circulate her cultivation essence and draw the energy from the pill in her stomach.

The others watched nervously, glancing at Feng Zhiyun and making sure not to make any noise. They all moved a few meters away from Feng Zhiyun.

Suddenly, a very cold energy burst out from Feng Zhiyun's body!

"Kugh!" Feng Zhiyun's face tensed violently, showing the great pain she was in as she trembled all over, with the terrifying coldness in her body.

"My girl!" Feng Qiangxun brought her hands to her mouth, tears in her eyes as she watched the pain in Feng Zhiyun. As a mother, that pain would be multiplied thousands of times when it came to her children.

Feng Junze and Feng Ye clasped their hands nervously, watching what was happening to Feng Zhiyun's body.

Feng Zhiyun's strange cultivation essence violently flowed out of her body!

A powerful cold aura spread out from her body, freezing every part of her and spreading outward!

"How does this seem to be colder than before?"

Feng Junze exclaimed nervously as he felt his body begin to freeze as well despite his high cultivation base!

They had witnessed before that Feng Zhiyun would expel cold and then hot energies, and even other types of strange energies!

"It's the Moon Essence Energy!" Feng Ye replied as he also began to feel the coldness in his body.

* Boom! *

A fierce Chi burst out at Feng Zhiyun, this time, exuding an aura of heat and fire in her body, melting the ice on her skin and burning everything in its path!

"The Sun's essence!"

Feng Ye exclaimed again upon learning that this was the other energy contained in the True Essence Flower of the Sun and Moon!

If one ingested this pill, one would have to endure the essence of these two energies, cold and heat! In that way, the body could eliminate any poison, disease or deviation in the body, renewing the meridians and cleansing the marrow of all impurities!

But the worst effect is that one had to endure the ferocity of the cold and the terror of the heat of the pill!

After a long time, with the cold and heat battling in Feng Zhiyun's body, the color of vitality gathered in Feng Zhiyun's face, bringing back some of that lost vitality and beauty in her.

"It's working?" Feng Junze murmured in astonishment as he watched the change in his daughter.

The fierce energies in Feng Zhiyun gradually faded away, with the faint glow regained on her face not lost. A sigh escaped her thin, slender lips as her long eyelashes trembled before she opened her eyes.

"How?" Feng Qiangxun nervously asked Feng Zhiyun.

"I feel like..."

* Boom! *

Before she could say anything, a fierce and horrifying Chi burst out at Feng Zhiyun!

Mixing cold and heat in her!

"This...!"

"Yun'er!"

Everyone present retreated several steps back, even Feng Ye couldn't help but take about three steps back!

However, no one noticed that only Ling Tian remained in place. But his eyes were shining more and more in surprise along with a tinge of strangeness and shock, as if he could not believe what was happening.

Feng Zhiyun gritted her teeth as her body trembled fiercely, trying to control her energy that seemed to burst out at any moment as it continued to pour over her body.

'My meridians hurt and my Dantian is about to explode! This is unbearable!' Feng Zhiyun thought inwardly as she tried to calm the fierce energies in her, feeling the passage of time stop and she was in constant agony.

After an indefinite amount of time, Feng Zhiyun managed to calm the storm in her body. On the skin on her body could be found small pieces of ice and at the same time some burns on it, as if she had just survived a terrifying battle...

The slight blush and glow on her face disappeared again and it even looked like she had lost much more vitality...

"Yun'er!" Feng Qiangxun was in tears, approaching Feng Zhiyun and very gently and carefully stroking her hair and brushing it.

Feng Junze's fist clenched fiercely as he trembled slightly, feeling helpless seeing his wife and daughter in such a state.

Feng Ye also watched helplessly and the last hope in his heart vanished...

Feng Zhiyun's body became more withered and weak; everyone could clearly feel that Feng Zhiyun's remaining little vitality became weaker and weaker.

Ling Tian's gaze returned to his usual indifference. His gaze shifted to Feng Qiangxun for a while before looking at Feng Junze, making conjectures in his mind. The imperceptible aura of Sacred Heavenly Scriptures covered these people as he observed their meridians and Dantian, even their five main organs were covered in his vision.

"Interesting..." The corner of Ling Tian's mouth lifted slightly after observing them. However, he still continued to stare at Feng Zhiyun's weak body before letting out a sigh inwardly...

"Father..."

"It's alright, my dear Yun'er. Don't feel bad, father will always be proud of you." Feng Junze heard Feng Zhiyun's faint words and said with a gentle expression approaching her.

Feng Qiangxun was clearly trembling, but she did not stop lovingly and tenderly hugging her daughter.

"Aunt! Don't give up hope! There's still one last chance left!"

Breaking the tense and sad atmosphere of the place, a voice that carried a trace of superiority and arrogance was clearly heard.

Feng Junze awoke from his slumber and looked at Yuan Ming, remembering what he had shown him just moments ago!

"Why do you say so, young master Yuan? I hope you can understand that the current state Yun'er is in is very delicate." Feng Qiangxun looked at Yuan Ming and immediately scowled, saying with a somewhat heavy tone. She also knew this young man who was the direct descendant of the Yuan family, as well as his personality and stories about him.

"Aunt, don't say that! I am very worried about Zhiyun's condition, you even know that I would give anything for her!" Yuan Ming smiled softly as he slowly approached them. He searched through his storage ring and took out a small vial, in his hands he uncapped the vial and a small object that exuded an intense coldness was exposed in front of everyone and said, "This is the legendary Three Winters Pill!"

Three Winters Pill!

Everyone took a cold breath upon seeing the pill in Yuan Ming's hands!

"Three Winters Pill?" Feng Qiangxun's eyes regained a bit of sparkle as she saw the pill in Yuan Ming's hands, also remembering its function!

Those who took this pill would be reborn in body and soul and reach the heavens in a single step!

Feng Ye blinked in surprise and looked at the pill Yuan Ming was holding, feeling the cold aura on it and realizing that it was real.

"I'm sorry, but we can't accept this. You know my answer and it won't change!" However, Feng Junze's words again shocked everyone in the place.

Feng Qiangxun looked at her husband and suddenly thought of many possibilities. She knew that Feng Junze would never hesitate to give his all for the sake of their children, but if he refused now, then it seemed that there was something involved that he could not accept.

"Patriarch Feng, don't worry about it." Yuan Ming shook his head and with a soft and loving smile as he looked at Feng Zhiyun said, "I no longer care about the previous proposal, that is the least important thing. Now, the most paramount thing is to help Zhiyun recover. With this pill she will surely recover and be gloriously reborn as the legendary phoenix!"

Yuan Ming smiled expectantly and arrived in front of Feng Zhiyun, extending his hand and handing the Three Winters Pill to Feng Zhiyun.

"This..." Feng Junze frowned upon seeing this. He really did not agree to hand his daughter over to this guy, let alone knowing that his daughter really abhorred this man.

But now with Yuan Ming's words, Feng Junze found himself in a dilemma; if he accepted, then he would practically be granting a favor to the Yuan family, but if he didn't accept, Feng Zhiyun would most likely not be able to live any longer.

To accept or not to accept?

Feng Junze's mind finally found itself clouded, with no clear course what to take after so long...

"All you're going to do is seal her fate and take away the greatness that awaits her. Even she will die instantly."

Suddenly, Ling Tian's flat voice was fully heard, leaving everyone dumbfounded. His indifferent and calm gaze still watched Feng Zhiyun, as if no one else entered his vision.

"You are a mere cripple, and you dare to talk nonsense! Let me kick you out of here!"

The cultivation essence in Yuan Ming circulated fiercely, and he approached Ling Tian upon hearing his remark. The guards behind him also circulated their cultivation essence wanting to help Yuan Ming.

Instantly, everyone was shocked to hear Yuan Ming say such statements and scanned Ling Tian, finally realizing that he was a cripple!

"He's crippled...?" Feng Qiangxun muttered in astonishment and also looked at Ling Tian, indeed noticing that his meridians were destroyed!

Feng Zhiyun couldn't help but be surprised either! She couldn't see if Ling Tian was a cripple, but seeing her mother's expression, she confirmed it.

But then, how could Ling Tian escape his mother's domain so easily and then suddenly appear in front of her?

It didn't make sense!

No one had completely paid attention to Ling Tian because of the shocking news in this small period of time, but once they observed him, they realized the truth.

Ling Tian ignored Yuan Ming, but Feng Ye's expression turned cold and he was about to flow his cultivation essence when suddenly a cultivation essence giant hand appeared out of nowhere and caught Yuan Ming!
