Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 3515 (Three Thousand Five Hundred and Fifteen)
She looked at Cheng Yuhuan with a hanging heart, worried that he would really say that if Ning Duanye committed suicide, the life-shaping essence would return to her body.

The reason for being so worried was that during the few months of being with Ning Duanye, the two had already fallen deeply in love with each other. Although according to the rules of the sect, the two could not have physical union before becoming masters, but once both of them had completed their studies and become masters, they could walk hand in hand on the road to the future.

Because of the special nature of the magic they practice, alchemists who practice certain sects cannot have physical union with anyone else throughout their lives, and even falling in love with a specific person spiritually will have an adverse effect. People who practice other sects can do so, and people who practice the Zhenming sect can do so after they become masters.

Cheng Yuhuan never opposed his disciples falling in love with each other. The reason why he stipulated that these people could not have physical relations before leaving home was because if a disciple had physical relations with someone before fully learning this school of magic, it would seriously affect his continued learning of magic and would be harmful to the health of both parties.

Those who practiced the magic of the sect Cheng Yuhuan belonged to before were forbidden to have physical union with other people for their entire lives. However, after Cheng Yuhuan modified those magics, something happened that he had never thought of before the modification - as long as the apprentices learned all the magics in the sect, then having physical union with others would not have any adverse effects. Apprentices who had fully learned the magic would soon become masters, so Cheng Yuhuan made a rule that apprentices could not have physical union with other people before they had learned and become masters.

Cheng Yuhuan had long seen that Lü Yinting and Ning Duanye were in love with each other. He knew Ning Duanye's personality and knew that he was willing to sacrifice his life to keep others alive. It would be nothing new if he sacrificed his life for the one he loved. When Lü Yinting said, "What if I kill myself?" Cheng Yuhuan was not surprised at all, because this time it was not that Ning Duanye had to sacrifice his life to keep others alive, but that his beloved had done something that would kill her soon to save his life. He just wanted to return the life-shaping essence to the one he loved and prevent the one he loved from dying because of saving him.

This time, Lu Yinting used the magic to transfer her life-shaping essence into his own body without knowing it. This really surprised Cheng Yuhuan because it was beyond his expectations. He was surprised, not because he thought that Lu Yinting's personality would not do such a thing as risking her life to save others. Although he had not spent as much time with Lu Yinting as he had with Ning Duanye, he knew that Lu Yinting, like Ning Duanye, was a disciple of the Zhenming School and cherished both her own life and the lives of others. He also knew that Lu Yinting's personality would also be willing to sacrifice her life to save others. Because of this, when Lu Yinting repeatedly asked the two how to save them, he absolutely did not answer. The reason why Cheng Yuhuan was surprised was that he never expected Lu Yinting to complete the magic in such a short time. He knew that Lu Yinting was talented and that she was good at quickly finding out what she wanted to know through thinking, but this time, she found a way so quickly after reading the book and decisively used such a magic in such a short time was really beyond his expectation.
