A master of both medicine and martial arts, he picked up a beautiful CEO as his wife.

child time.

In the deepest part of the village, candlelight flickered, casting indistinct shadows on the walls.

Shen Yu sat cross-legged at the doorway, his eyes slightly closed, silently protecting the Dharma. His internal energy circulated silently, enveloping the entire small house completely.

There was no draft at all.

Inside, Ye Feng sat facing Lin Yuqing, their hands clasped tightly together.

"According to what the fragment says," Ye Feng said in a low, slow voice, "empty your mind, and send your energy little by little into your hand. Follow my guidance for the remaining piece. Remember... no matter what happens, don't panic, don't let go, and open your heart to me."

Lin Yu let out a breath and nodded emphatically: "Mm!"

Ye Feng also closed his eyes and was the first to release the most violent and domineering peak Yang True Qi, which flowed into the palms of the two clasped hands.

Lin Yuqing also released the most yin and pure true energy buried deep in her blood to receive the other party's true energy.

In an instant, one hard and one soft, two opposing forces, collided violently in their intertwined palms.

It started out as intense, a confrontation.

The greatest yang and the greatest yin are the extremes of all things in the world. When they come together, they clash like water and fire, like hot water pouring on cold charcoal.

The two people's meridians collided violently, repelling and tearing at each other, causing excruciating pain!

That pure, primal yin instinct wanted to pull it back. It's so easy to say, but harder than climbing to heaven! To surrender one's most hidden, crucial vital energy and life-giving energy to another soul without reservation.

Just a tiny difference, and the internal energy will become chaotic.

It was undoubtedly shattered.

These are two treasures; one must not only possess skill, but also entrust one's soul to another without reservation.

Lin Yuqing cried out "Ah!" and her face turned pale instantly, with large beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.

"Don't let go!" Ye Feng shouted. "Follow me, I'll guide you towards this stream of yang energy! Trust me!"

Lin Yuqing clenched her teeth, enduring the tearing pain in her heart, and completely emptied her mind. She then guided Ye Feng to send out the true energy she instinctively wanted to withdraw, step by step without reservation.

The amazing thing is that when both sides are unguarded and the mind is completely open, the two forces that were originally mutually exclusive will find a common frequency.

Resistance turned into integration.

The most blazing Yang energy was no longer scorching, and the purest Yin energy was no longer icy. These two streams of true energy, which had once been locked in a life-or-death struggle, now flowed slowly, as if they were originally a pair of threads, intertwined and inseparable, along their interconnected meridians…

"what!"

Ye Feng felt a warm and powerful force that he hadn't felt in a long time gradually rising from his lower abdomen.

The death energy that had been lurking in his chest, wanting to devour him, was now completely subdued by the uninterrupted flow of yin and yang, and had never been so docile before.

But what shocked Ye Feng the most was yet to come...

In the past, when he merged with death energy, Lin Yuqing was the one who released the Yin energy, and all the energy was consumed by her alone, leaving her feeling like she was vomiting blood every time.

However, now that the "merging meridians" circuit is open, a wisp of his nourishing true energy is instead flowing along this circuit to nourish and replenish Lin Yuqing's meridians, which have been damaged too much due to the transfer of energy. The two nourish and replenish each other, with neither giving unilaterally. Their true energy rises and falls, supporting each other!

"Yuqing, what's wrong?" Ye Feng opened his eyes and asked anxiously.

Lin Yuqing's dazed eyes slowly opened. Every time she finished giving Ye Feng her breathing exercises, she would be so weak that she would turn pale and lose all strength, unable to even lift a finger.

But this time, she moved a finger and felt the warm energy flowing around her. Her pretty face first showed confusion, and then turned into unbelievable surprise!

"I...I'm not tired anymore."

Lin Yuqing's voice trembled slightly, "I'm not tired anymore. I feel more comfortable and energetic than ever before. Is your 'Peak Yang' helping to nourish my meridians?"

"Um."

Ye Feng nodded, his eyes revealing a hint of relief. "Once the meridians are combined, my Peak Yang will no longer be just a dead fire that is released outwards. On the contrary, it can also nourish your meridians. You suppress the calamity for me, and I will help you strengthen your foundation. This is the true mutual assistance of Qi and meridians. From now on, it will be you and me to shoulder the burden together, and no one will need to sacrifice the other anymore."

Ye Feng let out a long breath and grinned.

It's done, the meridians are now united.

Ye Feng tested his true energy. The death energy that would have exploded at the slightest touch actually flowed obediently along this circuit, without much backlash. This savior had truly become a reality.

The knot that had been there for them for the past six months, which Lin Yuqing had been trying to unleash on Ye Feng, was both harmful and detrimental. That very night, Ye Feng used an ancient method he found at Nirvana Mountain to break it.

From then on, transferring death energy to them was no longer just Lin Yuqing risking her own life, but the two of them sharing the burden together, their qi and true energy intertwined!

"Okay." Ye Feng held her hands. The huge weight that had been pressing on him for the past six months was finally lifted. He no longer had to worry about how long the tribulation would last or endure that pain anymore.

Lin Yuqing smiled, but her eyes reddened. She nestled into Ye Feng's arms, listening to his pounding heartbeat and feeling the seamless flow between their bodies. She felt an unprecedented sense of security enveloping her.

Over the past six months, she had given him breaths countless times, each time feeling as if half her life had been drained. She never complained of being tired, but the weakness of being slowly drained away had secretly frightened her in the quiet of the night—she was never afraid of being tired, but afraid that one day her breath would no longer be able to suppress his suffering, and she would be able to watch helplessly as he breathed his last in her arms.

Now, this "merging of meridians" has uprooted that fear. From now on, they are truly bound together by a single rope, sharing life and death, and she will no longer be alone in the darkness, struggling to cope.

The flickering candlelight cast the silhouettes of the two embracing figures, softly imprinted on the wall.

Peaceful and serene times, this is generally how it is.

Ye Feng looked down at the woman in his arms, whose complexion was rosy and whose breathing was long and even. The empty space in his heart that had been there for more than half a year seemed to be quietly filled by something.

When he descended the mountain, his master told him that this journey was a certain death. At that time, he was all alone and had long since become indifferent to life and death. But now, he wanted to live more than ever before—he wanted to stay with the person in his arms and endure that tribulation little by little; he wanted to hold her hand and see the vast world beyond that mountain.

Ye Feng and the two people immersed in joy had no idea that—tonight, as the fusion of their meridians was completed and the deadlock was untied, an extremely dangerous lighthouse was quietly lit in the vast darkness.
