Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2660: Chapter 2659: Special Physique, Borrowing Inner Qi!

"The strangeness of this space is not something human power can easily unravel, but since you insist on leaving, though I cannot stop you, I am truly worried for you."

The voice of the Sword Obsession Hermit was deep and weathered, each word like a pearl fished from the long river of time, heavy and precious.

Lin Dong heard this, his gaze resolute, "It is good that Senior can understand. Senior, why not think of a way to leave with us? How about it?"

The Sword Obsession Hermit shook his head, "I won’t go. Decades ago, I was cast into a shadow, and I dare not cross that sea again..."

At this point, he slowly took something out from his sleeve, an ancient cloth bag adorned with intricate sword patterns that faintly emitted a gentle spiritual light.

"Is this... your spatial bag, Senior?" Lin Dong was surprised, but more than that, puzzled and confused.

Yun Ruoxian also looked astonished. The two exchanged glances, seeing confusion in each other’s eyes.

"Indeed. Inside are not only my lifelong insights into the art of swordsmanship but also several precious ancient martial secret books on swords, as well as secret methods of cultivating sword intent. I know that you may have a bigger stage outside. If you can pass these down, then my life’s sword skills would not have been in vain."

The Sword Obsession Hermit said, a hint of imperceptible desolation flashing through his eyes, "And perhaps I will end up in this space, accompanied by my sword, until the end of my days."

Hearing this, Lin Dong was filled with a mix of emotions.

"Senior, why are you giving these to me? Didn’t you disapprove of our leaving this place?" Lin Dong asked, puzzled.

"Indeed, I do think little of your chances of leaving here. But there is always a glimmer of hope, and by entrusting this spatial bag and my life’s sword insights to you, I seek peace of mind, some form of solace."

"If you can get out, then I hope you can revive and glorify my sword skills once again. And if you can’t, I’ll just assume you did, so I can have some peace of mind." The Sword Obsession Hermit said.

Hearing his words, the corners of Lin Dong’s mouth twitched.

Still, he promised,

"Senior, rest assured, if we truly manage to leave here, we will definitely carry forward your sword skills and not disappoint your expectations!"

He solemnly took the spatial bag, speaking with firm resolve.

Yun Ruoxian also stepped forward, softly saying: "Thank you, Senior, for gifting your life’s treasure."

Generally, at the level of a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, a lifetime’s accumulation of martial treasures is kept in a spatial bag.

But now, the Sword Obsession Hermit had given them his entire spatial bag, essentially all of his martial treasures.

The Sword Obsession Hermit heard this, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, both gratified and relieved. "No need to be so polite, since within the spatial bag, the things inside are of no use to me, it is better to gift them to you. Should you be able to leave, and if my sword skills are spread far and wide, I will be satisfied."

"Alright, go now, find your path. Perhaps you can indeed get out. I am leaving now..."

With that, he turned and left, though his steps seemed heavy.

Lin Dong and Yun Ruoxian watched as his silhouette slowly disappeared into the night, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

They knew that this farewell could be eternal,

Evidently, time really could bury one’s courage, even though he was once a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist.

"Perhaps we should leave sooner while we still have the courage. Otherwise, I’m really afraid that if we stay in this dark space day after day, we’ll end up like him, forgetting that we were once Heavenly Realm Martial Artists." Yun Ruoxian murmured softly.

The night remained deep, the wind carrying a slight chill.

Lin Dong nodded heavily in response: "A martial artist, even if temporarily without Inner Qi, should not lose courage."

"For me, I refuse to be like him. Even if there is only the slightest chance, I will strive to seize it, to fight for that opportunity to defy the heavens and change our fate."

Upon hearing Lin Dong’s words, Yun Ruoxian stared at him in a daze, feeling an indescribable allure emanating from him at that moment.

And at this moment, in the unfathomable cave, the darkness was like a thick curtain, keeping all light at bay.

Lin Dong and Yun Ruoxian stood side by side, the sudden silence leaving only the faint sound of each other’s breathing, with nothing else to break it.

Lin Dong suddenly recalled another matter.

His voice appeared exceptionally clear in the stillness, carrying a touch of urgency and hope: "By the way, Yun Ruoxian, earlier you mentioned that method to temporarily restore my Inner Qi, exactly how does it work? This concerns whether we can successfully escape, I must know the details."

Before the Sword Obsession Hermit arrived, Yun Ruoxian had mentioned that she had a way to temporarily restore some of his Inner Qi.

Thus Lin Dong eagerly asked her about the method again.

Upon hearing this, Yun Ruoxian’s eyes flashed with resoluteness, mingled with a hint of shyness.

She lightly bit her lower lip, seemingly undergoing an intense inner struggle, finally taking a deep breath and resolved to be honest:

"Lin Dong, I possess a rare constitution called the Innate Female Furnace Body. This constitution is extremely special in the Martial Arts World, allowing me under certain conditions to temporarily condense Inner Qi through a secret method. But this Inner Qi, I cannot directly utilize it myself; it is more like a fountain of spiritual power trapped within me, waiting for someone destined to draw from it."

At this point, Yun Ruoxian’s gaze, gentle yet firm, fell on Lin Dong as she continued: "And that destined person, must be a man."

"Through an ancient secret method, I can transfer that Inner Qi to that man."

"Allowing the power within me to temporarily become his aid. But..."

Her voice slightly paused at this moment, her cheeks quietly coloring with a blush, "This secret method requires...requires intimate contact between him and me."

Upon mentioning men, her gaze fixated on Lin Dong, it was clear that the man she referred to was Lin Dong.

"Are you willing to have some intimate physical contact with me?" Yun Ruoxian asked, her face flushed, looking at Lin Dong.

Upon hearing this, though Lin Dong was surprised, his desire for survival and trust in Yun Ruoxian were far greater.

He understood that here, no sliver of hope should be overlooked.

Thus, he solemnly nodded, his eyes filled with resolve and gratitude:

"Yun Ruoxian, I am willing to try. No matter what this secret method involves, as long as it offers us a chance to leave here, I am willing to take on anything."

Seeing this, Yun Ruoxian felt a warm flow rising in her heart, she gently nodded, beginning to elaborate on the steps and cautions of the secret method.

As she explained, the atmosphere in the cave gradually became subtle and tense.

In the end, she whispered in Lin Dong’s ear, revealing every detail of the secret method which required their close cooperation, almost seamless unity.

"We need to...do this..." Yun Ruoxian’s voice was as faint as a mosquito’s buzz, yet it was clear in Lin Dong’s ear.

In her description, there was reverence for the secret method, anxiety over the unknown, and unreserved trust in Lin Dong.

After hearing this, Lin Dong’s heart, though stirred, was filled more with gratitude and respect for Yun Ruoxian.

He understood that for Yun Ruoxian, this act was undoubtedly a great sacrifice and show of courage.
