A master of both medicine and martial arts, he recruits a beautiful CEO to cultivate immortality tog

Yu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart.

He knew that facing such a being, any rash action would be tantamount to suicide. Since the other party had not immediately attacked him, perhaps there was no direct hostility.

He clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, saying, "Your skill is truly impressive. I was mistaken; I was unaware that Jinling had produced someone of your caliber. May I ask... which school of martial arts you follow?"

Ye Heng's gaze fell on Luo Yu, but he did not answer immediately.

His gaze slowly swept over Luo Yu's body, lingering for a moment, especially on the faint flow of blood and qi beneath the other's bulging muscles and the veins in his bones.

"The body of Geng Metal..."

Ye Heng never expected that the person in front of him would have a special physique.

This type of physique is naturally stronger and more resilient than ordinary people, and has a natural affinity for metal energy. They are especially suitable for cultivating powerful and sharp external or internal martial arts techniques. They make rapid progress in the early stages and have additional advantages and control over metal weapons in combat.

No wonder Luo Yu was able to rise to the position of hall master in the Night Raven Society; his physical foundation and combat talent are indeed far superior to those of Tongji University.

Upon seeing this physique, Ye Heng's heart stirred slightly.

Although she is far inferior to Su Yingxue's glass body, she is indeed a talented person. It would be a waste to put her in an underground force like the Night Raven Society to fight and kill.

If we can recruit them and give them some guidance, they might become a valuable asset in the future.

However, he also knew that Luo Yu, as the leader of the Night Raven Society, held a high position and had considerable influence. It was impossible to persuade him to defect with just a few words.

Thinking of this, Ye Heng said, "Luo Yu, you possess a special physique, so your cultivation path should be smoother than that of ordinary people. Seeing that your blood and qi are abundant and your inner strength is abundant, you have already reached the peak of the third level of the acquired realm, and a breakthrough is imminent."

Luo Yu was shocked. A special physique? This was the first time he had heard of it in all his years of cultivation.

Ye Heng continued, "However, while the Geng Metal Body makes you incredibly fast in the early stages, it also has limitations. The cultivation method you are currently practicing is probably biased towards powerful external techniques, mainly aimed at stimulating blood and strengthening muscles and bones. This method is compatible with your physique in its early stages, which is why you are progressing so quickly."

"But if you continue to cultivate along this path, once you break through to the fourth level of the acquired realm, your body's qi and blood and internal strength will need to shift from external to internal, from hard to soft, and begin to touch upon deeper levels of meridian nourishment and internal qi circulation."

"At that time, your overly forceful and domineering cultivation method, which only pursues external power and sharpness, will conflict with the deeper Gengjin True Meaning of your physique. When you reach the fourth level, your cultivation speed will drop drastically to the crawling of a tortoise, and you may even suffer damage to your meridians and backlash from your power."

Luo Yu was deeply shaken upon hearing this.

What Ye Heng said perfectly matched the stagnation and unease he had been vaguely feeling during his cultivation in recent years!

He did feel that after he reached the peak of the third level of cultivation, no matter how hard he tried, the growth of his internal energy became extremely slow, and occasionally his blood and qi would surge uncontrollably.

He once consulted an old martial artist enshrined in the association, who only said it was a bottleneck that required accumulation, but never pointed out such a specific root cause!

"Your Excellency... is this really true?" Luo Yu's voice was dry, but he was already seven or eight parts convinced.

Ye Heng didn't answer directly, but simply smiled and said, "Whether you believe it or not is up to you. If you want to take your martial arts further in the future, you can come and find me."

After saying that, Ye Heng said no more, and his figure disappeared from the factory gate in a flash.

Luo Yu stood there, stunned, staring in the direction where Ye Heng had disappeared, his heart churning with turmoil.

Not only was the opponent's strength unfathomable, but their insight was also extremely sharp. They saw through the hidden dangers in his physique and cultivation techniques at a glance, and even pointed out the direction for resolution!

"Find me..." Luo Yu murmured, repeating the two words over and over, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

The other party clearly intended to recruit him, but the conditions they offered struck at the deepest, most secret desire in his heart—to break through the bottleneck and go further in the martial arts!

The Night Raven Society treated him well, and the guild leader had shown him great kindness.

Betrayal? Luo Yu was not an ungrateful person. But... the future of a martial artist, the constraints of cultivation—the temptation was simply too great. Moreover, the other party hadn't forced him; they had merely left him with a choice.

morning.

The morning light pierced through the thin mist, draping the city of Nanjing in a pale golden veil.

Ye Heng arrived at Fengwan Tower.

Today is Liu Zhixian's birthday.

The area in front of Fengwanlou is quiet and peaceful in the morning, with early birds chirping on the eaves.

As soon as Ye Heng stepped through that familiar wooden door, Xiao Li saw him.

"Brother Ye! You're here! Sister Liu has been waiting for you. Please come with me."

Ye Heng nodded slightly and followed Xiao Li through the first-floor hall.

Xiao Li walked briskly, leading him to the door of the most elegant and secluded room on the top floor.

"Mr. Ye, Sister Liu is inside. Please go in directly." Xiao Li stopped, bowed, and then withdrew.

Ye Heng raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.

"Zhixian, I'm here."

"Come in." Liu Zhixian's unique voice, tinged with a hint of languor and magnetism, came from inside.

As he pushed open the door, a faint aroma of food wafted towards him, causing Ye Heng to pause slightly in surprise.

What came into view was not the usual alluring woman in an exquisite cheongsam, lounging on a couch or by the window, as if she had stepped out of an old painting.

Today, Liu Zhixian was dressed in an elegant beige loungewear set. The soft cotton fabric clung to her shapely figure, outlining her undulating curves.

Her long, flowing black hair was loosely tied up with a simple wooden hairpin, with a few strands playfully falling down her fair neck.

She was wearing a light blue floral apron, which added a touch of domestic gentleness and vibrancy.

Her appearance remained extremely charming, with exquisite eyebrows and eyes, and naturally red lips.

Upon seeing Ye Heng, Liu Zhixian put down the spatula in her hand and quickly walked over.

"So you actually came?"

She stopped half a step in front of Ye Heng, looked up at him, her tone filled with undisguised joy, but her eyes held a hint of resentment.

"I thought that busy Ye had completely forgotten about my birthday by 8 a.m.

Ye Heng looked at her unusual attire and expression, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes, and naturally heard the little grievance in her words.

"How could I forget?"

He spoke calmly, his gaze sweeping over the open-plan kitchenette behind her, where soup was simmering on the stove, steaming gently, and half-cut ingredients lay on the cutting board beside it.

"Zhixian, you're actually cooking today?"

In his memory, he had never seen Liu Zhixian cook by himself.

Liu Zhixian smiled shyly, pursing her lips, and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

"Well, since it's my birthday today... I decided to cook something myself. No matter how good a chef is outside, nothing beats the thought that comes from cooking it yourself."

She paused, glancing sideways at Ye Heng, "Although it may not be as good as the delicacies you eat outside, you're not allowed to complain."
