Bai Muxi’s body shivered slightly.
In the original plan, the solution to the young master’s current symptoms was simple.
As a Dual Cultivation Cauldron, she would use the method of Dual Cultivation to guide that surplus Soul Power into her Sea of Consciousness.
The Soul Power from the Primordial Realm might be a deadly poison for those in the Soul Condensation phase, but for her, a Third Grade Great Master, it was a medicinal rarity not to be found easily, not to mention it was from the Celestial Fates Divine Soul of a Jiatiange Saintess.
As long as it was successful,
the young master’s symptoms would be resolved, and she would benefit greatly.
But the implications in the Saintess’s words just now were clear,
outsiders were already unable to intervene in the young master’s body.
But if help was not possible, what about the young master?
To let the Soul Condensation phase forcibly swallow the Will-spirit of the Primordial?
The quality difference between the Primordial and Soul Condensation Soul Power is like heaven and earth.
If left alone, given the young master’s current exposed state, he simply could not hold on.
If the young master couldn’t hold on...
Bai Muxi’s hands, which were resting on her thighs, clenched her skirt slightly:
"Saintess, is it truly impossible for outsiders to help the young master in his current state?"
Tianyan glanced at Bai Muxi, who had spoken:
"In Changtian’s current state, you might want to refer to how a Great Grandmaster attempted to blend dual Dao Charms to break through the Primordial Realm."
Bai Muxi held her breath slightly upon hearing these words.
Just a word, and she realized the severity of the young master’s state.
Understanding two types of Dao Charms meant that cultivators needed to constantly maintain that balance.
If disturbed by external forces and the delicate balance is broken, it could be more than just going berserk.
However, after a moment of silence,
Bai Muxi seemed to remember something and immediately asked in a low voice:
"If Muxi can drain all the aberrant Soul Power within the young master’s Sea of Consciousness in an instant, will it resolve his current symptoms?"
The young master’s state was nothing more than two strands of Soul Power merging, causing his own Soul Power to swell like a cancerous growth, and his Sea of Consciousness was unable to bear it, facing collapse.
If that was the case, just cut through the mess quickly and remove the entire cancerous growth.
If the gentle method of guidance was no longer viable, then brutally drain all the Soul Power within the young master’s Sea of Consciousness.
Whether it was his own or the Celestial Fates Divine Soul.
After all, the young master was merely in the Soul Condensation phase, and for her, a Great Master, draining it all in an instant would not be difficult.
Tianyan pondered briefly and said in a calm voice:
"If you truly have confidence, this method might be feasible."
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of light flickered in Bai Muxi’s eyes.
But before she could speak, Lou Ji, who was by her side, suddenly interjected coldly:
"The Dual Cultivation technique I transmitted to you earlier probably cannot achieve that."
After a moment of silence, Bai Muxi measured her words and replied:
"This method is one of the Dual Cultivation techniques I learned in the past."
Lou Ji stared at her for a few breaths, murmuring:
"Intercourse Dual Cultivation?"
Bai Muxi’s fair skin flushed with a hint of red, and she said in a soft voice:
Tianyan, upon hearing this, remained expressionless, her eyes devoid of emotion.
However, Lou Ji, who held the power to decide in this room, showed a hint of contemplation after hearing these words.
Using Bai Muxi’s method was indeed feasible.
Using Changtian as a cauldron to drain him would indeed resolve his current life-threatening condition.
But as for the cauldron...
At this thought, Lou Ji’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
In past years, her Black Scale Guards had done many dirty deeds for the Prime Minister’s Mansion.
These included assassinations or exterminations of entire families.
Consequently, when destroying these Sect families, she often found many cauldrons in their dungeons or secret chambers.
Even though the path of Dual Cultivation had declined in Dayan, the harvesting of cauldrons had not ceased.
Even though the Imperial Court deemed it the vilest of Evil Cultivation Techniques, the special trait of cauldrons helping breakthroughs could make people lose their senses for profit.
Many Sect families in the regions would secretly cultivate some talented individuals with good foundational characteristics as cauldrons to help their direct descendants break through.
Once used, these families would choose to secretly execute the cauldrons.
One reason was secrecy.
The other was because the cauldrons no longer had any use to them, and continuing to keep them was all harm and no benefit.
After being harvested, the cauldrons’ Dantians and Sea of Consciousness foundations would be completely destroyed.
Lou Ji’s tone cooled slightly:
"The Dual Cultivation techniques from ten thousand years ago were mostly harvesting Evil Cultivation Techniques. Even if successful, Changtian might drop in cultivation level, but what is more concerning is the possible damage to his Sea of Consciousness foundation."
Bai Muxi’s face showed no change as she quickly explained:
"Chief Lou, I am confident that I can minimize the damage to the young master’s Sea of Consciousness. Moreover, the young master possesses an Innate Taoist Body, with an already resilient Sea of Consciousness. Even if it is slightly damaged, the deficits could later be compensated with medicinal stones."
Lou Ji stared at Bai Muxi, her phoenix eyes betraying no emotion.
Bai Muxi clasped her skirt tightly, appearing somewhat anxious:
"Chief Lou, I have no ulterior motives towards the young master. If my words are false, you can behead me afterwards. But if you do not make a decision now, he..."
Lou Ji raised a slender index finger, interrupting Bai Muxi’s speech, and stated in a low voice:
"I will use medicinal stones to forcibly push Changtian to break through to the Integration Body phase. By stepping into the Integration Body phase, his Sea of Consciousness will expand, which naturally should resolve the immediate crisis."
Her experiences, the people she had met, and the position she held in life made her unable to trust Changtian, this newly acquired attendant.
