Chapter 1500: Chapter 6: Lin Qingyi, the Transformations of Yin-Yang Balance

The night has fallen.

In the bathhouse.

Steam rises and swirls around.

Jiang Ning closes his eyes and quietly feels the balance within his body.

Within his inner world, Essence, Qi, and Spirit intertwine and circulate; as Spirit diminishes, Essence strengthens, and Qi rises.

The three elements continually seek equilibrium.

After observing for a while, he sees the process steadily advancing and then opens his eyes.

Then he looks outside.

Without employing any technique, just relying on feeling, he knows there’s a woman standing in the snowy courtyard outside.

He immediately rises.

Splash——

Hot water slides along the contours of his muscles, crashing heavily into the water’s surface.

Then he casually dries himself and puts on loose-fitting clothes.

Creek——

He opens the door, and standing in the snowy front yard is a woman in a long, green dress.

It’s dark without a moon, yet moonlight seems to emerge around her.

The hazy moonlight envelops her, granting an ethereal and transcendent aura.

Looking at Lin Qingyi ahead, Jiang Ning smiles softly.

He had already sensed Lin Qingyi’s arrival.

Entering the First Grade Mixed Element Realm is not only an advancement in strength but also a multifaceted mysteriousness.

A world unto oneself, an arena unto oneself.

An invisible field spreads, making every surrounding sound and motion difficult to escape his detection.

Even the most elusive can’t remain hidden.

"Why come to find me tonight?" Jiang Ning asks with a smile.

He has no intention of inquiring where Lin Qingyi had been before.

They’re adults; everyone has their own choices.

"Not welcome?" Lin Qingyi smirks.

"Of course you are welcome!" Jiang Ning nods.

...

A moment later.

Inside the warm house.

The charcoal fire burns vigorously, red and blue flames rise in the brazier, letting warmth flow through the room.

At the same time, a window is opened in one corner, allowing the indoor and outdoor air to exchange freely.

Thud——

The gentle sound of clothes falling to the ground echoes.

Soon, the candlelight extinguishes, and soft, suppressed moans echo inside.

Outside, the wind whistles fiercely.

The tender, suppressed moans travel out of the window only to be drowned by the howling winds in the courtyard.

...

In the deep night.

Lin Qingyi lies on Jiang Ning’s chest, her fair hand touches the firm abs, fatigue written on her face.

"I might return to the Qi Royal Mansion in the coming days." She suddenly speaks.

"Mmm." Jiang Ning nods casually.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingyi lifts her head to meet Jiang Ning’s eyes in the dark.

She sees Jiang Ning’s eyes remain bright even in the night.

"Won’t you ask why I’m going back?"

"If it’s something you can talk about, you’ll tell me!" Jiang Ning replies.

"It’s because the Old Prince is about to finish his seclusion these days!" Lin Qingyi says.

"The Old Prince!" Jiang Ning furrows his brow: "Is it the Side-by-Side King?"

"Yes!" Lin Qingyi nods casually.

Then, silence falls inside the room; only the sound of the howling wind outside fills the pause.

"Don’t go back!" Jiang Ning suddenly says.

Upon hearing these four words, Lin Qingyi smiles faintly and replies: "What if the Old Prince comes knocking, will you stop him?"

"I will stop him!" Jiang Ning nods.

Hearing this, Lin Qingyi smiles lightly.

"He’s no ordinary First-grade; he’s a top-tier presence in the Great Xia Country! Though you’ve achieved First Grade Mixed Element Realm, you’re still some distance from such a pinnacle existence!"

"I’d really like to see this pillar of Great Xia Country!" Jiang Ning says.

"Do you really think that way?" Lin Qingyi is momentarily startled, looking at Jiang Ning.

"Yes!" Jiang Ning nods: "I don’t speak falsely!"

"Alright! Since you have this thought, why not join forces with you then?" Lin Qingyi’s eyes burn with determination.

"Then let’s agree on this! Tomorrow, I’ll take you to see Su Qingying!" Jiang Ning says.

With those words, he flips over to move closer.

...

The next day.

Golden sunlight slants into the room.

Jiang Ning slowly opens his eyes, the lingering fragrance of the woman still around his nose.

Looking down, the black hair spreads across his chest like a silken sheet.

He can’t help but smile gently.

Knowing the words he said last night had an effect, Lin Qingyi did not leave.

Then.

He carefully withdraws his hand from Lin Qingyi’s neck.

Then moves quietly out of bed, dressing himself.

Looking back, Lin Qingyi is still deep in sleep, breathing smoothly.

He pulls up the quilt to slightly cover the spilled spring light.

Without waking Lin Qingyi, he heads out of the room.

He knows Lin Qingyi needs rest today.

Opening the door.

Brilliant golden sunlight falls onto the snowy ground, reflecting blinding beams, making his eyes momentarily squint.

He then looks up, seeing a towering sun hanging above.

Then glances at the sundial in the courtyard.

"It’s already 7:45 AM! How decadent!" He shakes his head.

Then he smiles: "But martial arts practice values balance; proper adjustment is reasonable! Moreover, harmonizing Yin and Yang naturally complies with heavenly principles!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

After rationalizing briefly, he feels no burden at all.

Then, he slightly closes his eyes, introspecting his body.

The Spirit Platform is clear; within his inner world, the sun and moon coexist together, with the sun blazing and the moonlight cool.

"The inner world is more stable! Compared to yesterday, there’s much progress! Perhaps it relates to the fusion of Yin and Yang!"

Recalling the pure Taiyin Source Energy within Lin Qingyi last night, he realizes something.

The panel then unveils before him.

[Source Energy]: 302337

Looking at the panel showing the Source Energy points surpassing the three-hundred-thousand threshold.

Feeling the increasingly stabilized, harmonized cycle of sun and moon in his inner world, Jiang Ning understands.

"The book’s assertion about Yin-Yang mutual nourishment, Taiyin and Taiyang complementing each other, is indeed true."
