Weei Jie had suffered severe injuries from a palm strike delivered by Wu Xinyuan. He had forced himself to stay conscious because he witnessed Ling Hengyu getting hurt, but upon seeing that Ling Hengyu was almost without issue, his spirit relaxed, and at that relaxation, his internal organs shifted out of place tumultuously. Spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, he fainted on the spot!

"Weei Jie!" Ling Hengyu immediately went over to help Weei Jie when he saw it happen.

Ye Xiao naturally understood that Weei Jie had sustained very serious internal injuries, but could he continue to administer treatment? Given that Ling Hengyu obviously was once a skilled expert, would he know about the existence of the Nine Yang Divine Skill? He had already saved him, and if he went on to save Weei Jie, would that risk exposing his secret of possessing the Nine Yang Divine Skill?

Ye Xiao was extremely uncertain at this moment because he truly did not know whether he should save the man or not!

Just then, Ling Hengyu looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, Weei Jie is severely injured and his life is in danger. Do you think you can use your Inner Strength to help heal him?"

Hearing Ling Hengyu's words, Ye Xiao immediately thought that indeed, all Inner Strength could be used to heal injuries. He did not need to give it his all; it would be enough to ensure Weei Jie wouldn't die, thus avoiding exposure.

Ye Xiao nodded and then quickly sat down cross-legged behind Weei Jie, while Ling Hengyu hurriedly helped Weei Jie to sit up properly. Ye Xiao rapidly activated the Nine Yang Divine Skill, swiftly placing both hands on Weei Jie's back. Weei Jie's body trembled involuntarily as the golden-hued Nine Yang True Qi began to flow incessantly into his body. With his eyes closed, Ye Xiao guided the Nine Yang True Qi into Weei Jie's meridians, and also directed a stream directly towards Weei Jie's heart meridian to protect it. As long as Weei Jie's heart meridian was shielded, he would definitely not die!

After about half an hour of treatment, Weei Jie's complexion had improved significantly. Ye Xiao could feel that about sixty percent of the damaged areas inside Weei Jie's body had been repaired. While Ye Xiao certainly could help Weei Jie completely recover, there was no need to continue the treatment at the risk of exposing himself, now that Weei Jie was no longer in life-threatening danger.

Cease cultivation!

Ye Xiao gently exhaled a breath of turbid air.

And Weei Jie also opened his eyes; he had been aware of Ye Xiao healing him just now.

So upon waking up, Weei Jie immediately stood up, turned towards Ye Xiao who was still sitting on the ground, and hurriedly performed a bow of gratitude, saying, "Mr. Ye, thank you for saving my life today!"

Ye Xiao had not expected Weei Jie to offer such a grand gesture of thanks, which made him feel somewhat embarrassed. He really wanted to quickly say, "Uncle Weei, please sit down and I'll heal you for a while longer," but Ye Xiao held back.

Ye Xiao quickly stood up, supporting Weei Jie by the arms and said, "Uncle Weei, you can't do this. You are my elder. By offering such formal thanks to me, you would be shortening my lifespan. If you continue like this, we shall become estranged in the future!"

Ye Xiao said it half-jokingly, and Ling Hengyu also immediately looked at Weei Jie with a smile and said, "Weei Jie, since Ye Xiao has said so, you shouldn't be bound by formalities!"

Weei Jie sighed, smiled, and said, "Today, Mr. Ye has really opened my eyes. Mr. Ye, you are truly a remarkable talent in the Martial Arts World. Looking at you, you must be at least at the Mid-stage Xuan Rank, right?"

"Uncle Weei, stop with the 'Mr. Ye.' I'm not any young master; I'm just a country youth. Please just call me Ye Xiao, that sounds more comfortable to me," Ye Xiao laughed heartily.

Weei Jie also chuckled, unable to help a few coughs, then said, "Alright, alright, Ye Xiao, I'm really grateful to you today. You saved Mr. Ling and also me."

Ye Xiao said with a smile, "I was hired by the Ling family as a bodyguard, so protecting my client is naturally part of the job. Of course, if you think I did a decent job, you might consider giving me a bonus as a reward. Any amount is fine, just a casual reward of several million would be acceptable to me!"

Hearing Ye Xiao's joking words, Ling Hengyu also laughed heartily, replying, "A reward, there will definitely be a reward!"

At this moment, Ye Xiao looked toward Ling Hengyu with a smile and said, "Uncle Ling, about that Heaven Heart Pill you mentioned earlier, you never finished telling what it actually is. How is it different from the Heart Cleansing Pill?"

Now that Ye Xiao was an Alchemist, he was very interested in pills, especially since there were several brothers and girls around him who needed them.

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's question, Ling Hengyu replied with a smile, "Both the Heart Cleansing Pill and the Heaven Heart Pill are pills that aid in repairing the meridians. For general meridian damage, the Heart Cleansing Pill is sufficient, but for damage like the one in my eyes, only the Heaven Heart Pill can restore it!"

"So, it seems like the Heaven Heart Pill is an upgraded version of the Heart Cleansing Pill?" Ye Xiao said.

Ling Hengyu laughed and said, "Smart. To put it bluntly, the effects of the Heaven Heart Pill are more than a hundred times that of the Heart Cleansing Pill!"

Hearing this from Ling Hengyu, Ye Xiao was genuinely amazed. It looked like the Heaven Heart Pill was an absolute treasure with effects a hundredfold that of the Heart Cleansing Pill. So if one were to buy a Heaven Heart Pill, wouldn't it be so expensive that even the richest person in the Northern Federation couldn't afford it?

Ye Xiao thought that his current ability was not sufficient to concoct this so-called Heaven Heart Pill, but he decided he would need to take it to heart. There was no choice; this Ling Hengyu not only knew clues about his past but was also Ling Shuya's father, and perhaps his future father-in-law. When it came to Ling Hengyu, Ye Xiao could only flatter and ingratiate himself.

"Q Re's car is just outside; let's go now," Ye Xiao said as he picked up the umbrella next to the wall, smiling at Ling Hengyu and Weei Jie.

Ling Hengyu and Weei Jie exchanged a glance, with the former saying, "Wait a moment!"

Ye Xiao looked at Ling Hengyu in confusion, clearly not understanding why Ling Hengyu did not leave.

Ling Hengyu stared at Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, don't you want to know about the Heavenly Book?"

Heavenly Book?

Ye Xiao's spirits were lifted by Ling Hengyu's words. What Martial Artist wouldn't want to know about the Heavenly Book? However, Ye Xiao was also quite proud, and even if he wanted to know, he couldn't just directly admit it!

"If Uncle Ling is willing to tell me, he naturally will," Ye Xiao replied with a smile, looking at Ling Hengyu.

Ling Hengyu was slightly taken aback, thinking to himself that this guy was really just like his father, even speaking in the same tone!

Ling Hengyu said, "The Heavenly Book is also known as the Supreme Dragon Phoenix Skill, but, although many people know of it, very few understand what the Supreme Dragon Phoenix Skill really means."

"Isn't it just a book?" Ye Xiao asked.

Ling Hengyu explained, "The Supreme Dragon Phoenix Skill consists of eighteen volumes, divided into two categories, the Dragon Skill and the Phoenix Skill, each comprising nine volumes. The Dragon Skill is for men, the most Yang, and the Phoenix Skill is for women, the most Yin. Therefore, just learning a part of the Supreme Dragon Phoenix Skill can make one unparalleled in the world."

"So that's how it is. The Heavenly Book is indeed extraordinary!" Ye Xiao exclaimed with amazement.

Ling Hengyu continued, "Over a hundred years ago, parts of the Heavenly Book were lost. To say they were lost is actually misleading; it was divided into several parts, with some possessing one volume, others two, three, four, and so on. What makes the Heavenly Book incomparably mysterious is that it embodies the essence of all martial arts in the world, meaning, if one can perfectly merge any Internal Cultivation Method with even just one volume of the Heavenly Book, that method's power will greatly increase."

Hearing this, Ye Xiao chuckled to himself. How similar the Heavenly Book sounded to his own Nine Yang Divine Skill, which could perfectly merge with some Internal Cultivation Methods, vastly enhancing their power!

It seems that martial arts in this world really do share a common lineage.

Ye Xiao said, "Then isn't obtaining a single volume of the Heavenly Book enough to be invincible in the Martial Arts World? There are rumors, Mr. Ling, that you possess the Heavenly Book. Could it be that you've truly obtained a volume of it?"

Ling Hengyu burst out laughing and replied, "An ancestor of the Ling family was once a guard in the imperial palace in ancient times, and indeed obtained a volume of the Heavenly Book by chance. This volume has always been the Ling family's most prized treasure. However, the volume we obtained is neither the beginning nor the end, but part of the middle segment. From one generation to the next, my family has studied this volume, yet none could fully comprehend or truly integrate it. Of course, that might be due to our mediocre natural talents."

Ye Xiao looked at Ling Hengyu and said with a smile, "Uncle Ling, aren't you afraid that I might leak this information by telling me all this?"

Ling Hengyu said, "There is another place that obtained a volume of the Heavenly Book, which I'm sure you'd like to know about."

"Where?"

"The Qiu Mountain Sect."

"You mean the Qiu Mountain Sect where I belong?" Ye Xiao was greatly surprised. No wonder the Qiu Mountain Sect claimed to be the number one martial arts sect in Yan Country; it turned out to possess fragments of the Heavenly Book. Could it be that the Qiu Mountain Sect's True Yang Skill originated from the Heavenly Book? And since only men could cultivate it, then...

"The Qiu Mountain Sect obtained a fragment of the Dragon Skill?" Ye Xiao inquired.

"You should be quite familiar with the True Yang Skill," Ling Hengyu said. "But let me correct you, it's not just a fragment of the Dragon Skill they have, but a fragment of the Nine Yang Dragon Skill."

Hearing the words 'Nine Yang,' Ye Xiao felt a great shock resonate within him. Nine Yang, how could it be Nine Yang?

Ye Xiao immediately asked, "Nine Yang? What do you mean?"

"Is there a problem? The Dragon Skill is actually called the Nine Yang Dragon Skill, and the Phoenix Skill is the Nine Yin Phoenix Skill. The Nine Yang Dragon Skill is mostly found in eastern nations, while the Nine Yin Phoenix Skill, it is said, was taken during the war of the eight nations. It's said that the Nine Yin Phoenix Skill may be in one of those eight countries, perhaps even in all of them," Ling Hengyu sighed, clearly resentful that something from Yan Country had been taken by foreign powers.

Nine Yang Divine Skill!

Nine Yang Dragon Skill!

Ye Xiao's mind was now in turmoil, suspecting that the skill he had been cultivating all this time could possibly be the legendary Heavenly Book!
