Beauty and the Bodyguard Chapter 1541

Chapter 1541: Persuasion (part two)

“This elixir has very strict requirements for fire control, and it also limits The Alchemist to have an ice-type elixir fire as a supplement in addition to the fire-type elixir fire. However, Ice and Fire are incompatible, so it’s very difficult for a fire-type Alchemist to practice an ice-type elixir fire! And to raise the ice-type alchemy fire to the same level as the fire-type alchemy fire, that’s even harder than ascending to the heavens!”

“So that’s how it is … It seems that not only do I have to work hard to become a third-grade Alchemist, but I also have to practice the icy heart alchemy fire!” Lin Yi couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

“That won’t be necessary-with Xiaoxiao joining the sect, the sect master won’t need to take the ice heart Jade bone pill anymore-having an heir is enough!” “You don’t have to worry too much about it,” Qing said,”just let Xiaoxiao join the Ice Palace.”

“Wait!” Lin Yi felt that something was wrong. He asked Qing seriously,”Senior, if you don’t mind me asking, what’s the benefit of being the Ice Palace’s inheritor? Why was it that one inheritor was enough? Don’t you want to become an inheritor?”

“Well …” Qing didn’t think that her comforting words would connect so many things to Lin Yi. It seemed that Lin Yi was suspicious, but she couldn’t tell him about the inheritor.”Naturally, the sect master wants to become an heir as well, but because of her body’s limitations, she can’t accept the inheritance-so while we’re looking for other people, we’re also looking for a refiner-this is just a backup plan! As for becoming an inheritor, other than making the training faster and easier, they’ll also have an advantage over normal Sky Cla.s.s Masters when they break through-it’ll be easier for them to break through the barrier and reach the path of the sky!”

“So you haven’t been able to find anyone with the cold Yin body?” Lin Yi felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t put his finger on it.

“Not only did we not find anyone with the cold Yin body, but we also didn’t find anyone with the icy heart Jade bone body.” Qing smiled bitterly.”Usually, this kind of physique is inherited by the family. Some are pa.s.sed down from generation to generation, and some are pa.s.sed down from generation to generation. If these families don’t have any cultivators or don’t know ice-type mental cultivation methods, they won’t notice these abnormalities at all!” We can’t just go and pick people one by one, can we?”

“So that’s how it is! What’s with the fake ice heart Jade bone body, then?” Lin Yi asked.

“The fake ice heart Jade bone didn’t completely inherit it. It only inherited a part of it!” Qing said,”so this kind of body const.i.tution must be supplemented and tempered with elixirs refined with heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Only then can it display the same effect as the icy heart Jade bone body const.i.tution.”

“Then … If it’s hereditary, why didn’t you guys go to the sect master’s house and see if there’s anyone else with it?” Lin Yi had to question them continuously to figure out the Ice Palace’s true intentions.

…

“The sect master is an abandoned child, what family does she have?” “We do want to look for it, but there’s a sea of people. Where are we supposed to go?” Qing smiled bitterly.

“It’s like that …” Lin Yi nodded-he didn’t think that the cold sect master would have such a pitiful background.

“This is it!” “Xiaoxiao’s body, however, is even more special than the ice heart Jade bone body. There’s a large amount of Yin Qi in her body, and it’s unbelievable!”Qing said. At her age, she has so much Yin Qi. If we can refine all of this Yin Qi, her future will be limitless!”

“What if I choose not to let her join the Ice Palace?” Lin Yi asked.

“That’d be harming her-the sect master and the elders are suppressing the yin Qi inside her, but it won’t last long. ” “Once the yin energy breaks free from its restraints and invades her heart, she’ll fall unconscious again,” Qing said.

“What about the fruit?” Lin Yi asked.

“It’s only temporary!” Qing said,”if she didn’t have so much Yin Qi, the fruit could suppress it for a few decades, but there’s too much Yin Qi in her body. It’s almost the same as a Sky Cla.s.s ‘Qi. Even if she takes the fruit, she’ll still be unconscious for a year at most!”

“Ah!” Lin Yi’s eyes went wide as regret and self-blame filled his heart! Xiaoxiao didn’t have that much Yin Qi in her, but after he’d injected Qi into her a few times, all the Qi She’d absorbed was devoured by the yin Qi in her body, making it stronger and stronger.

If it wasn’t for Lin Yi’s pure energy, perhaps the fruit would be able to suppress the yin energy in her body for many years, but now …

“Then … If we don’t accept the inheritance, can we just let her cultivate in the Ice Palace?” Lin Yi felt that the inheritance had a hint of conspiracy in it, and it made him feel uneasy.

“The speed of cultivation will definitely not be faster than the inheritance! Plus, what we need is an inheritor!” Qing said.

Qing’s words made Lin Yi’s heart tighten. It seemed that there was something wrong with this inheritor! Otherwise, if the Ice Palace really did value Xiaoxiao’s amazing Const.i.tution, then she should be able to pract.i.tion any way she wanted-why would they make her the heir?

Lin Yi’s instinct told him that Qing was hiding something from him! But it was obvious that Qing didn’t want to talk about it and was avoiding the topic-Lin Yi couldn’t just ask her directly!

After all, Qing had been helping him from the start, and Lin Yi was very grateful to her for that. He didn’t want to break this relations.h.i.+p. He knew that Qing would tell him everything she could, but there were some things that she couldn’t tell him. If she couldn’t tell him the truth, then there was no need to force her to explain!

Since that was the case, he’d just go ask the sect master-if she couldn’t give him a satisfactory answer, he wouldn’t let Xiaoxiao accept the inheritance so easily.

“I understand. Let me see Xiaoxiao first.” Lin Yi said with a nod.

“Of course,” As they spoke, Qing brought Lin Yi to a guest room in the courtyard. “She’s right inside, the sect master’s there too. ”

Lin Yi followed Qing into the room, and as expected, Xiaoxiao was talking to the sect master, all smiles. The sect master, on the other hand, was helplessly sitting beside her, nodding from time to time. (To be continued.)
