Dark Night did not explain but let out a soft sigh and said, "Let's not talk about it anymore. Since the other party has already left, let's head back to the base first. By the way, who is that old man called Ao Yun? I feel there's something quite extraordinary about him!"

"Just some old man I picked up!" Ling Feng smiled and said, "I've got an idea. If my idea can be confirmed, I might have a way to solve Yuwen Xiangyu's problems with her Spiritual Physique."

"What?" Dark Night's eyes widened with excitement, "You have a way to solve it?"

"I only said it's a possibility!" Ling Feng shrugged and responded, "The details depend on that old man."

With that, Ling Feng did not continue to explain but walked towards the direction of Dark Night's base.

Soon they arrived at the base. Yuwen Xiangyu's eyes lit up when she saw Ling Feng, and her face showed a relieved expression.

"Girl, where's Ao Yun?" was the first question Ling Feng asked upon seeing Yuwen Xiang.

"Humph!" Yuwen Xiang's face changed before she let out a cold snort and haughtily turned her head away!

Ling Feng was somewhat baffled, wondering how he had offended her. It seemed like he hadn't done anything, right?

Dark Night, seeing this, flashed a look of worry in his eyes. He was not as clueless as Ling Feng, and from Xiangyu's expression, he discerned an ominous sign!

In Dark Night's view, Ling Feng was a fine opponent and a good friend. His experiences and resilience were admirable!

But that did not mean he would make a good boyfriend.

Dark Night knew full well that though Ling Feng appeared normal, inside he hid too much pain. If one day he could not suppress it, he would hurt both himself and others.

To Dark Night, Yuwen Xiangyu was like his own daughter, and he very much hoped she wouldn't develop feelings for Ling Feng.

"Maybe I'm just overthinking it!" Dark Night thought with a hint of self-mockery.

Ling Feng still looked speechless but couldn't be bothered to figure out what was wrong with the girl.

After finding Ao Yun, he discovered that Ao Yun was leisurely strolling around.

"You sure are taking it easy!" Ling Feng said with annoyance.

With a chuckle, Ao Yun replied, "If you have the Xuanyuan Sword and still can't defeat Wu Rilin, then you don't deserve its recognition!"

Hearing Ao Yun's righteous tone, Ling Feng felt like grabbing him and tossing him to Wu Rilin!

"Forget it, I won't argue with you about this," Ling Feng said with resolve, "You must have seen that there's a serious problem with Yuwen Xiangyu's body, right?"

Ao Yun nodded, "That's right, her body harbors a surging power, but her physical form cannot completely withstand it. Once it exceeds her body's tolerance limit, not even the Yellow Emperor could save her!"

"There's one way now!" Ling Feng said, staring at Ao Yun, "If her physique could be transformed into a Spiritual Physique, she would be able to perfectly control this power!"

"Indeed, that is a method!" Ao Yun said slowly, "As long as one finds Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and absorbs their essence, it can be done! So it seems, their target must also be the Nine Nether Blood Lotus—tsk, you really do have quite a few formidable rivals!"

Ling Feng looked at Ao Yun with a smile that was not quite a smile and said, "Indeed, before we were competitors, but now... well..."

As he spoke, Ling Feng sized up Ao Yun, who couldn't help but shiver. A forced smile twisted his lips, "Since we are competitors, it's no longer appropriate for us here, let's go, Young Master!"

"Hold on!" Ling Feng said, "Ao Yun, being of the Divine Dragon lineage, your Dragon Blood must be no less precious than those Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, why not..."

Ao Yun, nearly blowing his beard straight with anger, retorted, "I am a mighty Divine Dragon, and you dare set your sights on me! I..."

"Still calling yourself a Divine Dragon?" Ling Feng said scornfully, "Show some backbone, will you? Don't forget you're more like a molting phoenix right now, needing my protection! And what's the big deal about asking for a bit of your fresh blood? Haven't you forgotten the girl who had you ride on the White Leopard to save your life? Is this how you repay her?"

Ao Yun's face turned beet red as he glared at Ling Feng hatefully, "A bit of fresh blood? Do you know that ordinary blood is worthless, only the Essence Blood of a Divine Dragon has miraculous effects! But if I lose my Divine Dragon Essence Blood, my power will greatly diminish..."

"You've got hardly any power to speak of now, so what does it matter if it diminishes?" Ling Feng looked at Ao Yun with disdain, "Just give it to me straight, will you or won't you?"

Gazing at Ling Feng, Ao Yun finally let out a helpless sigh, "Fine, I'll give in, okay? Who made you my Young Master?"

With that, Ao Yun extended his finger, and a drop of bright red blood, tinged with a misty aura, emerged from it.

With a plop, the fresh blood landed in Ling Feng's hand and turned into a Bloodstone.

"Soak in this Bloodstone for a week, and her body will undergo the baptism of my Dragon Blood, transforming into a Spiritual Physique without question," Ao Yun said. "But remember, she must not wear any clothes while soaking, and there might be the anguish of Marrow Cleansing. If she can't bear it, then she can forget about achieving the Spiritual Physique!"

"I've got it!" Ling Feng took the Bloodstone, patted Ao Yun on the shoulder, and said, "Thanks a lot!"

With that, Ling Feng turned and went to find Dark Night.

"Ah, I, a great Divine Dragon, am reduced to this day, truly..." Ao Yun said with a face full of remorse.

With this Bloodstone, Dark Night no longer needed to compete with Ling Feng for the Nine Nether Blood Lotus! This was also Ling Feng's main goal.

He and Dark Night could be considered close friends by now, and fighting over a Nine Nether Blood Lotus was certainly not a scene Ling Feng wanted to witness.

When he handed the Bloodstone to Dark Night, Dark Night could hardly believe his eyes.

"Ling Feng, are you serious? This Bloodstone can transform Xiangyu's physique into a Spiritual Physique?" Dark Night clutched the Bloodstone tightly, his voice trembling.

Ling Feng chuckled, "Would I lie to you? Just soak in the waters of this Bloodstone for a week, and Xiangyu's physique will turn into a Spiritual Physique, though the process of Marrow Cleansing may be painful."

"I am well aware of that!" Dark Night held the Bloodstone, "Ling Feng, thank you!"

In fact, Dark Night understood that many sought the Nine Nether Blood Lotus, and even as the leader of the Supernatural Organization, getting it from the hands of so many powerful individuals was no easy feat!

And now, he had a solution, essentially owing Ling Feng for saving Yuwen Xiangyu's life.

Consequently, Dark Night felt extraordinary gratitude in his heart!

"I'll make arrangements for Xiangyu to begin the Marrow Cleansing right now!" Dark Night said and turned to go find Yuwen Xiangyu.
