A wasted cultivation cultivator, whose senior sister comes to his door asking for pills at the start

This explanation stunned Ye Yun, who thought with disbelief.

"You mean, the yang energy within me can help you revive quickly?"

Nangong Jiutian gave an affirmative answer to this.

"That's right, you can understand it that way."

However, according to what Nangong Jiutian said last time, there is still some time before he is resurrected.

Ye Yun couldn't help but wonder if his own yang energy could help shorten the time by so much?

For some reason, he always felt that things were a bit suspicious.

"This...can it really succeed?"

"Well, that depends on how much time you can squeeze out."

After a moment's thought, Nangong Jiutian spoke slowly.

"Although it's supposed to speed up the resurrection process, it will still take some time."

"If you can gain more time during this period, I will naturally be more successful."

This temporary, accelerated revival still had a significant impact on her.

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, thought for a moment, and then asked.

"May I ask, with your experience, what is the success rate?"

In his mind, the other party's resurrection should have been quite complicated.

This sudden simplification and significant reduction in time must have come at a cost.

Nangong Jiutian pondered for a moment, then gave an answer.

"Under ideal circumstances, you have a greater than 50% chance of dying."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun froze for a moment.

"What? More than half of them could die?"

That probability is quite high.

It's like flipping a coin; if it lands on one side, you'll die instantly.

In Ye Yun's view, there was practically no difference...

"That's right, a conservative estimate."

Nangong Jiutian was quite frank and explained it to him.

"After all, it requires a lot of your yang energy to be drained."

"If we drain you dry, you'll die a horrible death."

"Also, if you don't gain enough time, you might not make it in time for the resurrection."

"You will still die then..."

It can be said that, following Nangong Jiutian's advice, there are at least two dangerous points.

One is one's own yang energy, and the other is insufficient time; if either goes wrong, death is inevitable.

"this……"

For a moment, Ye Yun was also stunned by the dangerous probability.

"Is there really no other way?"

Even in Ye Yun's view, this was far from a 50% chance of death.

Clearly, a two-thirds mortality rate is already quite high.

Leaving aside whether the yang energy can hold out, just the point of buying time is crucial.

He didn't think that the Ascension Cult Leader would give him much time.

"That's all."

Nangong Jiutian responded, and then added a sentence.

"This time, there really is no other way."

As mentioned before, she is not omnipotent and cannot do everything.

Besides, she's now only half-dead, so there's even less she can intervene in.

At this critical juncture, it was already extremely difficult to give Ye Yun a chance to live.

"Okay, I understand."

Ye Yun sighed upon receiving the answer.

Meanwhile, Nangong Jiutian in his mind asked a question.

"So, want to take a gamble?"

Her voice carried a hint of excitement.

"Since you're going to die anyway, why not take a gamble? Wouldn't that be more exciting?"

Before this, Ye Yun had never seen her so excited.

Surprisingly, she became excited instead of facing a life-or-death crisis.

However, what the other party said was indeed correct.

The thought of life and death hanging in the balance is, in a way, quite thrilling.

"I……"

Ye Yun hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said.

"Okay, I'll take this round!"

Clearly, he had made up his mind.

There's nothing he can do; he simply has no choice now.

It's either certain death, or there's a one-in-three chance of survival.

Even in Ye Yun's view, it was not as if he had been drained of his yang energy by Nangong Jiutian and died.

In terms of the ending alone, it's better than being possessed by the Ascension Cult Leader or being killed.

At least it can be considered that I'm making the final contribution...

"Not bad, you've got some guts."

Nangong Jiutian replied with satisfaction.

Then, she said with a smile.

"Well then, good luck to you this time, kid!"

This time, Nangong Jiutian's wishes were truly heartfelt, without any impurities.

Just as he finished speaking, Ye Yun casually added something.

"I think you should say 'wishing us good luck, senior'."

These words piqued Nangong Jiutian's interest, and he asked with great interest.

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"Don't you understand what I mean, senior?"

Ye Yun narrowed his eyes slightly and silently replied in his heart.

"Senior, this point in time must be very important to you as well, right?"

"Or to put it another way, the predecessors are also at a critical stage of their revival."

"If something were to happen to me, it would have a significant impact on you as well."

These words left Nangong Jiutian silent for a long while.

Then, she seemed somewhat surprised, yet also as if it were perfectly reasonable.

Finally, Nangong Jiutian sighed softly and said helplessly.

"It seems that my behavior was a bit too obvious."

Ye Yun gave an affirmative answer.

"Yes, it is a bit too obvious."

Ye Yun's reasoning was based more on a summary and a part of his speculation.

First of all, when he arrived, Nangong Jiutian's attentiveness to him was a bit too obvious.

At the same time, it doesn't quite fit the other person's image, or rather, her personality.

They took care of him in various ways afterward, all to prevent him from losing his life.

Now they are even taking risks to help themselves escape danger.

Therefore, Ye Yun guessed that his current life and death were directly related to her in some way.

Of course, he couldn't explain the specifics of the connection; only Nangong Jiutian himself probably knew.

You are absolutely right.

Just then, Nangong Jiutian sighed.

"My resurrection is now in its final stage."

"And as the vessel, you can't be changed in a short time, otherwise you'll be back to the pre-sprint stage."

"At that time, it will probably take a lot of time to prepare for the resurrection again."

As for that, I hadn't told Ye Yun before.

The main reason is that she doesn't want Ye Yun to find out and use it to blackmail her.

But given the current situation, the two of them are now in the same boat, so there's not much more to say.

"I see……"

Ye Yun seemed to be deep in thought, but felt somewhat relieved.

As long as he knows that his interests and Nangong Jiutian's interests are aligned, that's fine.

This way, there's no need to worry that Nangong Jiutian will outwardly comply but inwardly defy him.

"Kid, are you relieved now?"

At this moment, Nangong Jiutian seemed to see through his heart and asked a question indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun smiled inwardly.

"Of course, good luck, senior. I hope you can be resurrected this morning. I'll try my best to buy you some time."

"Hmph, you too, hoping to get more for me."

Nangong Jiutian gave a light snort and said no more.

"Alright, you can stall for time now. I'm going to go all out."

After he finished speaking, Nangong Jiutian fell silent.

Judging from this, they've already begun their final sprint to revive.

And soon, Ye Yun's body also began to feel sensation.

He could clearly feel that his originally abundant mental energy was now like a funnel.

It is being taken away second by second, every moment.

At this rate, I might actually become a dried-up corpse before the other party can be resurrected.

"Damn... I hope my body can be a little more resilient."

Now that things have come to this, there's no room for regret, and Ye Yun can only offer a silent prayer.

But just as he was worrying, he suddenly seemed to discover something.

"Hmm? That's strange, why do I feel like there's still power flowing into my body?"

Ye Yun felt something was strange, but when he sensed it more closely, he suddenly realized something.

It turned out that the hot spring he was in was continuously replenishing the yang energy he had consumed.

"Holy crap, this can actually restore my yang energy?"

Ye Yun's heart trembled violently.

It seems that this hot spring can heal injuries as well as depleted Yang energy.

If that's the case, it would be a tremendous blessing for him!

"It seems... we don't need to worry too much about energy consumption anymore."

Ye Yun was overjoyed.

However, he wasn't overly excited.

After all, it's a matter of life and death; besides the amount of yang energy, it also depends on how much time you can buy yourself.

At the same time, Ye Yun also came to his senses and glanced at the two people in front of him.

During the time he was talking with Nangong Jiutian, the vice sect leader in front of him didn't even notice a shadow of him.

In their view, Ye Yun had been standing there quietly and without saying a word since the beginning.

Even the vice-leader felt a sense of relief.

"This kid is finally going to be in trouble. Judging from this, he's completely hopeless."

In reality, Ye Yun was thinking about something very important.

That is, how to help Nangong Jiutian to fight for that most crucial thing.

What he hopes for now is that the Ascension Cult Leader will return a little later.

That way, I'll have a little more time.

However, sometimes things don't go as planned.

And this time, Ye Yun was clearly having an exceptionally bad run of luck.

Just as he and Nangong Jiutian were finalizing their follow-up plans.

At the entrance not far away, we saw the Ascension Cult Leader rushing over.

Upon seeing her return, the vice leader hurriedly went up to her and greeted her respectfully.

"My Lord, are you all ready?"

I guess so.

The Ascension Cult Leader nodded.

She was now wearing a pure black robe.

Even the mask on his face had been put back on.

As for the Ascension Cult Leader, he now possessed several special rare and precious materials, as well as magical artifacts.

These are all treasures that can help with possession and even the refinement of external avatars.

Seeing this, the vice leader was pleased and glanced at Ye Yun behind him.

"Kid, your life ends here."

After teasing Ye Yun, the vice leader smiled at the Ascension Sect Leader.

"My lord, if you wish to possess someone here, I will protect you."

Upon hearing this, the Ascension Cult Leader nodded slightly, acknowledging his suggestion.

Of course, the Ascension Cult Leader didn't forget to give an extra instruction.

"Shadow, go and guard the door. Do not let anyone disturb me."

Upon hearing the order, a dark figure appeared and respectfully bowed to him.

Then, the dark figure quickly disappeared, seemingly going to guard the door as she had said.

As for the deputy leader beside him, he obediently went to the side and stood as a protector.

Seeing this, the Ascension Cult Leader also withdrew his gaze and focused on Ye Yun in front of him.

"Kid, your time's up."

Her voice was cold and clear, as if she were announcing the death of a person.

Upon seeing this, Ye Yun was stunned, as if he had suffered a huge blow.

He stared blankly at the Ascension Cult Leader and couldn't help but ask.

"Is...is there really no other solution?"

This question startled the Ascension Cult Leader for a moment, then he sneered.

"What? Are you scared to death now that things are really coming to this?"

"Of course I'm afraid of dying!"

Ye Yun took a deep breath and said with a depressed expression.

"I'm human too, and everyone's afraid of dying, especially since I haven't had enough fun yet!"

Upon hearing this, the Ascension Sect Leader spoke in an icy tone.

"It's a little too late to figure it out now."

As she spoke, she had already submerged Ye Yun completely in the water, with only his head sticking out.

The reason for doing this was also for the purpose of possession later.

The spring water here can preserve Ye Yun's physical body as much as possible.

When I possess someone's body, even if it's done roughly, the effects will be immediately reversed.

After that, the Ascension Cult Leader began to prepare step by step for the possession of another body.

Its body was quickly filled with all sorts of strange and unusual things.

Logically speaking, with her cultivation level as an Emperor-level expert, it shouldn't be too difficult for her to possess a Dao Establishment cultivator.

However, it would be quite troublesome to control Ye Yun and refine him into an external avatar using only a wisp of divine soul.

"Senior, please give me another chance."

At that moment, Ye Yun's emotions collapsed instantly.

He looked at the Ascension Cult Master in front of him, his eyes full of pleading.

"If only you would spare my life and let me continue living."

"I'd pay any price for this!"

Ye Yun's attitude at this moment has completely changed from before.

Even the vice-leader, who was protecting the leader not far away, was stunned by Ye Yun's plea for mercy.

"This kid, he actually has such a servile side?"

At the same time, the vice-leader felt incredibly pleased!

Hahaha!

Kid, you've finally met your match!

As for the Ascension Cult Leader, he was also somewhat surprised by this change in attitude.

"Are you that afraid of dying?"

"It's not that I'm afraid of dying, it's that I'm afraid of disappearing."

Ye Yun quickly shook his head and pleaded.

"There are still so many things I haven't enjoyed enough of in my life."

"Xian'er, and Ru Shuang and the others, I haven't had enough fun yet!"

"Please, senior, if you're willing to let me go this time, I'll be your slave from now on!"

At this moment, Ye Yun resembled a coward who had completely abandoned his dignity in order to survive.

Of course, in essence, there doesn't seem to be much difference.

However, Ye Yun was only trying to survive, so he planned to put on an act and outmaneuver the Ascension Cult Leader.

Judging from the results alone, it seems there is indeed a chance.

After hearing his words, the Ascension Cult Leader, who was preparing to possess his body, suddenly stopped what he was doing.

Then, the Ascension Master's sharp gaze landed precisely on him as he asked a question.

"Is everything you just said true?"

"certainly!"

Ye Yun nodded and said without hesitation.

"Just let me live!"

His face was practically dripping with snot and tears.

The effect was quite remarkable; it was so moving that it brought tears to the eyes of all who heard of it!

Even the leader of the Ascension Cult was intrigued by these words.

"Why didn't you do this sooner?"

After a moment's hesitation, she replied.

"If you're truly willing to do so, it's not that there's no chance you can live."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun's face immediately lit up with surprise.

He opened his eyes wide and asked excitedly.

"Really? What opportunity? Please tell me, senior!"

The vice-leader, standing to the side, frowned.

He wondered if his leader was being too lenient.

But given her previous behavior, this shouldn't be the case.

To put it another way, judging from the personality of the Ascension Cult Leader, one could say he was either merciful or bloodthirsty.

Looking across the Ascension Sect, the one who killed the most people was not the executioners, but the sect leader.

But when the Ascension Cult Leader mentioned this so-called opportunity, he understood what the other party was thinking.

"Survival is possible, and it's very simple."

The leader of the Ascension Cult pondered for a moment, then extended his hand.

Then, golden light appeared in her palm, condensing into something resembling a contract.

Upon seeing this, the vice-leader suddenly realized what it meant.

"I see, so that's what you were planning, Master. That's even better!"

If things go well, he can then torment Ye Yun for a long time.

Then, I'll personally 'repay' Ye Yun...

Ye Yun paused for a moment upon seeing what the Ascension Cult Leader held, then feigned ignorance and asked.

"Senior, this is...?"

Seeing his puzzled expression.

The Ascension Cult Leader was in no hurry and slowly introduced the situation.

"You should have heard of this; it's a master-servant contract."

"You want to live, don't you? As long as you sign this contract, I can let you go."

"In the future, the entire Ascension Sect will allocate cultivation resources to you to help you become an immortal."

"And I will not take away everything you currently possess; in fact, I can give you even more!"

The leader of the Ascension Cult at this time can be described as using both kindness and severity.

First came the threats, and now the sweet promises.

Anyone with desires and a will to live would be in this situation.

These are indeed extremely good conditions.

The reason the Ascension Cult Leader made the last-minute change was also because he valued Ye Yun's talent.

Although she was able to seize Ye Yun's physical body and even his profound energy talent, she couldn't do the extremely important thing of comprehension.

However, if Ye Yun is willing to become her servant and be driven by her, then preserving Ye Yun's thoughts would not be a bad thing.

In this way, one can acquire an extremely powerful and exceptionally talented combatant without expending any effort later on.

The only problem is that the master-servant contract cannot be forcibly signed.

Both parties must be willing to sign the agreement, and this willingness must come from the bottom of their hearts.

If they could successfully sign a contract with Ye Yun, it would be a testament to Ye Yun's submission.

"Is that so..."

After hearing what the Ascension Cult Leader said, Ye Yun looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

"Can I consider it?"

Once this master-servant contract is signed, it means that one is completely subject to the Ascension Cult Master.

At that time, even if he wanted to commit suicide, he wouldn't be able to, and she could possess him anytime, anywhere.

Upon hearing his words, the Ascension Cult Leader frowned instantly and said coldly.

"Do you feel you still have room for consideration?"
