the second floor of the banquet hall, several women accompanied Mrs. Li in conversation.In the adjacent large hall, Mr. Li and the chamber members were engaging in friendly discussions in groups. Behi...Chapter 437: Exchange Meeting - The Mutated Nine Yin Deadly Pulse

In Zhong Kui's memory, the person was a young girl around thirteen or fourteen years old. However, the yin energy within her body was flowing and it wasn't the yin energy from the netherworld but ordinary malevolent yin energy.

Because she had ordinary malevolent yin energy in her body, when she fell ill, she didn’t lose consciousness. It was precisely because of this that she endured immense suffering. If not for encountering Zhong Kui who was traveling in the mortal world at the time, it's likely she wouldn't have lived past eighteen.

The girl’s condition wasn’t actually a disease but rather a type of constitution. In the mortal world, such a constitution is virtually incurable and would eventually lead to her early demise. Without improvement, she could hardly live past eighteen; otherwise, she might die even earlier at seven or eight years old.

However, in the cultivation realm, this kind of constitution was considered extremely rare. Only few were capable of treating it, as such constitutions are one in a billion to begin with, and many who had early deaths further reduced their numbers, making them even rarer for Zhong Kui to have seen only one case during his travels.

Over the course of more than a thousand years of his life, he had only encountered this single instance because such constitution is formed congenitally and under very strict conditions: yin cycle, yin year, yin month, yin hour, yin moment, yin place, yin destiny, yin father's body, and yin mother's body – all nine elements are indispensable. This type of constitution was thus called the Nine Yin Pulse.

The Nine Yin Pulse is difficult to treat in the mortal world, making it an incurable disease; hence, it’s also known as the Nine Yin Deadly Pulse.

Although Dai Yuxin's situation differs somewhat from that of the young girl, their essence remains the same. However, within Dai Yuxin's body is pure netherworld yin energy instead of ordinary malevolent yin energy, and her constitution still falls under the category of the Nine Yin Pulse. Yet, the method to treat her case diverges significantly from treating the previous patient.

Once treated successfully, her constitution would undergo a qualitative change, transforming her condition into something no longer called the Nine Yin Deadly Pulse but rather the Nine Yin Sacred Pulse instead.

This is why there was such mixed feelings about this type of constitution within the cultivation realm. It's one in a billion to begin with, and only ten thousandth of those survive; however, these survivors would become cultivation prodigies capable of reaching heights others strive for their entire lives in just a short period.

But now, Xiao Yu was pondering Dai Yuxin’s condition. While her situation resembles those suffering from the Nine Yin Deadly Pulse constitution, there's an essential difference – like two identical bottles, one containing wine and the other pure alcohol.

Xiao Yu couldn't figure out why this situation had occurred. If Dai Yuxin's body contained yin煞qi (evil yin energy), he could勉強accept that, although the Nine Yin Death Vessel was extremely rare, it still existed, just being less common.

But now her body contained pure yin qi from the underworld, which seemed bizarre. Even with Zhong Kui's memories, Xiao Yu couldn't understand why this was happening.

"Hmm! Old Dai, is your granddaughter born on the 14th day of the seventh lunar month" Suddenly, Xiao Yu, who had closed his eyes and sat in a chair, suddenly opened them wide and asked Old Dai. Although it was a question, there was a tone of certainty in his voice.

"Uh... Yes! Midnight on the 14th!" After hearing Xiao Yu's words, Old Dai nodded and replied. He didn't feel anything unusual about this as many people here knew when his granddaughter was born because that was when she would fall ill.

Many doctors in this place had seen Dai Yuxin during her illness episodes, so it wasn’t strange for Xiao Yu to have heard of it. But what puzzled him was why Xiao Yu asked about the date

Hearing Old Dai's words, Xiao Yu’s eyes regained their calmness and slowly closed. He hadn't expected Dai Yuxin to be born on the 14th; now he had some vague conjectures regarding her situation. Though it was a guess, Xiao Yu felt quite certain about it. The only way to confirm would be when Dai Yuxin fell ill next year.

However, Xiao Yu was ninety percent confident in his hypothesis. If this were true... then... 'Dai Yuxin will be the best material for cultivation,' thought Xiao Yu as he glanced at sitting Dai Yuxin and felt a surge of excitement.

Moreover, if she wanted to recover from her condition, there was no other way except to cultivate. Currently, if she refined the yin qi in her body, she would become an excellent exorcist.

Thinking this far, Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel excited. If she could cultivate, although he didn’t know how much she could achieve in this era with thin celestial and earthly primordial energy, surpassing Zhang Tian Shi (Master Zhang) shouldn't be a problem.

The key issue now was that he didn't know how to explain it to Dai Yuxin’s family. Also, whether her condition was as speculated would only be confirmed when she fell ill next year.

Fortunately for Dai Yuxin, the mist in her body was stationary; otherwise, if like a regular Nine Yin Death Vessel that caused an illness every month, she probably wouldn't have survived until now.

After half a day, Xiao Yu slowly opened his eyes and looked at Dai Yuxin.

Xiao Yu has pondered over this until now, and the only possibility he could think of was that she was born during the Ghost Door opening on the 14th day of the seventh month. To be precise, when she was born, a ghost door appeared beside her and her mother. Given her body type being the Nine Yin Meridian, it has a strong attraction to yin energy.

At this time, the Ghost Door had just opened, allowing the pure yin energy from the netherworld to be absorbed by her body. However, there is a distinction between the pure yin energy and the malevolent yin energy of the netherworld; therefore, after entering her body, the pure yin energy settled within it.

In the human world, this pure yin energy acts like stagnant water. Only during the Ghost Door opening on the 14th day of the seventh month does her body's pure yin energy become active due to the stimulation by the netherworld’s pure yin energy. This activation makes it much more potent than the malevolent yin energy.

However, when the Ghost Door closes, the yin energy in her body becomes dormant again. Even a slight provocation from Xiao Yu doesn't elicit any reaction, leading him to speculate that this is why Dai Yuxin falls ill only during those specific days rather than every month like other Nine Yin Meridian cases.

Ordinary malevolent yin energy is most active around the 15th day of each lunar month, causing illnesses typically on these dates. But for Dai Yuxin, without the stimulation from netherworldly yin energy, even an abundance of malevolent yin energy has no effect.

Of course, if it were a regular Nine Yin Meridian case, recovery usually occurs within one or two days after an episode. However, for Dai Yuxin, she needs to rest for half a year each time she falls ill. If not for the continuous herbal treatment provided by Doctor Dai, who is an expert in traditional Chinese medicine, she probably would have died at a young age. Even with this ongoing care, she might not survive beyond eighteen years old.

Dai Yuxin is already sixteen years old, meaning that without meeting Xiao Yu, she has only two more years to live.

"How is it Master Xiao, how is Rain欣怎麼樣了呢？”蕭煜剛睜開眼睛，戴老就一臉焦急的看著蕭煜問道。

“大師，雨欣她……”蕭煜想了想，抬起頭看向戴老，臉上露出了一絲為難之色，“病因我已經弄清楚了，隻是這治療的話……”

The Elder Lady and the other old doctors, upon seeing Doctor Dai ask Xiao Yu, also turned their gaze towards him, hoping for an answer. They had been struggling with Dai Yuxin's illness for over a decade, so it is easy to imagine how urgent they feel.

"What Really Did you find the cause of her illness What kind of disease is it" Just as Xiao Yu spoke, Dai Lao, who was looking at him, suddenly showed a look of excitement and blurted out a series of questions.

The old traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, upon hearing what Xiao Yu said, all looked at each other in shock. After they heard Dai Lao's question, their eyes returned to Xiao Yu, waiting for his response.

It must be noted that many of these old TCM practitioners were close friends with Dai Lao. Thus, for Dai Yuxin's illness, they had racked their brains and put in their utmost effort but still didn't have any clues. Now, upon hearing Xiao Yu say he found the cause of her illness, doubt was written all over their faces.

Though they knew that Xiao Yu might really have found out what caused Dai Yuxin's disease since he now had the capability to do so—otherwise, they wouldn't be here watching him treat Dai Yuxin—their minds still couldn't fully accept it when he said he did find the cause.

This was a contradictory feeling. They knew this must be true but their instinct refused to believe it. After ten years of studying this illness, there hadn't been any clues until now, but Xiao Yu found the cause in just one moment. Even though they knew it was true, they still couldn’t accept it.

Before Xiao Yu could speak, he suddenly looked at Dai Yuxin and wasn't sure if telling her would affect her.

"Big Brother! Don't worry, tell me! Is my illness incurable" Seeing Xiao Yu look at her, although she felt a bad premonition in her heart, she appeared calm as she asked him.

"Master Xiao, please speak. She has the right to know!" Dai Lao couldn’t help but feel heavy-hearted upon seeing Xiao Yu's expression. Nevertheless, he still said to Xiao Yu that regarding Dai Yuxin’s condition, since they couldn't keep it a secret from her when she turned ten years old, her family would inform her regardless of what result was obtained.

"Hmm... Her illness is very special; this belongs to an absolute type of pulse. People with such pulses usually won’t survive past eighteen years old. Most people die by the age of eight, and only those who are exceptionally well-nurtured can get past that stage. As for surviving until eighteen years old, it's basically impossible—very few people manage to do so."

Xiao Yu thought about it for a moment before saying this to them. (To be continued...) thought, "Indeed, these must be Jin Xianglin’s family members." Hearing Xiao Yu's words and seeing the medical bag on his back, Li Zixiong guessed that this young man was the doctor Jin had called fo...
