Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1233 - 1284: Solitary Yin Does Not Last Long

"Pfft!"

At this moment, Jiang Ningxiang suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, then her body rigidly fell backwards.

Li Yifei was shocked and dashed forward in a step, catching Jiang Ningxiang in his arms. He took her hand and transferred his True Qi into her body. Jiang Ningxiang’s internal True Qi was in complete chaos, likely due to backlash from the True Qi.

"Shanshan!" Li Yifei quickly called out to Xu Shanshan, but seeing that Xu Shanshan had already let go and seemed unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "How are you?"

Xu Shanshan said, "I’m alright. The consumption of True Qi towards the end was quite substantial. What happened to Ningxiang?"

"I don’t know, she suddenly vomited blood and fainted. It seems like it was a backlash from the internal True Qi."

Xu Shanshan came over and held Jiang Ningxiang’s other hand. Her True Qi was most effective in sorting out Jiang Ningxiang’s True Qi. Soon, Jiang Ningxiang opened her eyes.

"Ningxiang, what happened to you?" Li Yifei asked anxiously.

Jiang Ningxiang’s face was somewhat pale, and she slightly moved her head and said, "I’m not very sure, everything was going smoothly, but at the very last breakpoint, I had just transferred my True Qi in when a surge of powerful True Qi rushed back at me, and then I knew nothing."

"Is that really what happened?" Xu Shanshan frowned slightly in disbelief and said, "Then take a good rest, after a while, I will try on your behalf."

"Alright." Jiang Ningxiang nodded but immediately added, "Master, you must be careful with that last breakpoint."

Li Yifei was still puzzled, so he could only listen to the two discussing.

After a while, Jiang Ningxiang recovered and swapped places with Xu Shanshan to give it another try. With the previous experience, the process went much smoother this time. When it came to about the same time as before, Li Yifei’s heart tightened, and he kept his eyes closely on Xu Shanshan.

At this moment, Xu Shanshan’s face suddenly turned red. Li Yifei was greatly alarmed but before he could act,

"Pfft!" A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out from Xu Shanshan, then she rigidly fell into his arms.

This reaction was similar to Jiang Ningxiang’s earlier, so although Li Yifei was nervous, he wasn’t too worried. He used his True Qi to help regulate Xu Shanshan’s chaotic internal True Qi, and Jiang Ningxiang was also unharmed and came over to assist.

"Holy moly, that’s intense!" Xu Shanshan exclaimed as she woke up, staring wide-eyed.

Li Yifei furrowed his brow and asked, "Shanshan, what did you feel just now?"

"At the last breakpoint, just as I fed my True Qi in, a powerful force counterattacked. My True Qi couldn’t resist at all and was overwhelmed, and then I knew nothing."

This reaction was exactly like what Jiang Ningxiang had encountered, giving Li Yifei a vague sense of what was happening. He said, "You guys rest first, I’ll take a look."

Li Yifei approached the stone wall, touched it with his palm and was immediately repelled. The True Qi inside the stone wall still repelled his True Qi, and he was unable to contend with it.

But that wasn’t the main point, Li Yifei carefully observed the two palm prints, then turned around to face Xu Shanshan and Jiang Ningxiang, bitterly smiled and said, "I reckon you two could spend your whole lives here and still not be able to open this Stone Door."

"Why?" Jiang Ningxiang and Xu Shanshan asked in unison.

Li Yifei pulled them to the stone wall and said, "Take a close look at these two palm prints and see what’s different."

Xu Shanshan and Jiang Ningxiang carefully observed the two palm prints. After a while, Xu Shanshan suddenly said, "These two palm prints are different in size; this harmful palm print is clearly larger than the other one."

Li Yifei nodded and said, "Correct."

Jiang Ningxiang asked puzzledly, "What does that mean?"

Li Yifei sighed and explained, "It means that this palm print was left by a man, and the other one by a woman. Not only do you need two Innate Experts, but they must also be a male and a female Innate Expert. This probably has something to do with Yin and Yang Harmonization; either just a man or just a woman wouldn’t work."

Xu Shanshan and Jiang Ningxiang examined the two palm prints over and over again, and in the end, they had to admit that Li Yifei was right.

"Brother-in-law, it would be great if you possessed Innate Vital Energy."

Li Yifei gave a bitter smile and said, "I wish I could. Watching you two researching back and forth, and I can’t lend a hand, this feeling is really uncomfortable."

Jiang Ningxiang sighed, "If only I could give my Innate Vital Energy to Brother Li."

Li Yifei rubbed Jiang Ningxiang’s head affectionately and said, "Silly girl, this thing cannot be given, and Brother Li can’t accept yours either."

"What’s mine is Brother Li’s," Jiang Ningxiang said with a sweet smile.

Xu Shanshan then said, "So are we just giving up like this?"

Li Yifei nodded, "I think we should give up. Continuing is futile and we could get hurt."

Xu Shanshan sighed and said, "I’m really not willing to let it go. Let’s try it one more time, maybe there’s another solution."

Li Yifei shook his head and said, "Shanshan, it’s too dangerous."

"It’s okay, it’s just spitting out some blood. The True Qi isn’t affected, and don’t we women bleed every month anyway."

Li Yifei’s face darkened, "Is that the same thing?"

Xu Shanshan insisted, "No, I can’t give up without trying again. It’s not easy to climb a mountain, and now that we’ve finally found a method, it feels so unsatisfying to just give up."

Li Yifei shook his head and said, "Alright then, try if you must, but I don’t recommend using the same method."

Xu Shanshan nodded, "I know. Maybe it’s like a blind cat running into a dead rat; it just might occur."

The three of them stayed in the cave for another two days. Ultimately, Xu Shanshan gave up because apart from the method they found, none had any effect, and using such a method made both Xu Shanshan and Jiang Ningxiang vomit blood twice. This made Xu Shanshan finally give up trying, knowing that the only viable method to open the stone wall was what Li Yifei mentioned.

However, Xu Shanshan and Jiang Ningxiang did not come away empty-handed. The Innate Vital Energy inside the stone wall was too potent; each attempt let them absorb some of the True Qi into their bodies, strengthening their existing Innate Vital Energy. Especially the instances when they got hurt, it even felt like sparring with an Innate Expert, benefiting them immensely.

After following the same path out of the Great Formation and standing on the mountain top, Xu Shanshan still reluctantly said, "I don’t know when we will find a man with Innate Vital Energy."

Jiang Ningxiang pouted, "Exactly, I wish I were a man."

Xu Shanshan looked at Jiang Ningxiang and said, "It’s strange, why do we only encounter women? Couldn’t we meet a man? During Noah’s Ark, it was women, Ningxiang is a woman, and there isn’t a single man. Even powerful figures like the Great Elder, ultimately, didn’t have Innate Vital Energy."

Jiang Ningxiang’s eyes widened, "Could it be that only women can possess Innate Vital Energy?"

Both Xu Shanshan and Li Yifei felt a sudden shock, but Li Yifei immediately shook his head, "Absolutely not, otherwise why would there be a man’s palm print left on the stone wall? It should be said that we just haven’t encountered one yet."

Xu Shanshan pursed her lips, "It might also be that nowadays, boys go to bed with women too early. Even if they don’t, they could still masturbate, so maybe it’s all ruined anyway."

Li Yifei’s face darkened, feeling that Xu Shanshan’s point made some sense but surely not every man would go to bed with women that early. There must be some left, but if even masturbating counts, then it’s a total wipeout."

Jiang Ningxiang muttered again, "If only there was some way to transfer the Innate Vital Energy to your body, Brother Li, that would be great."

Xu Shanshan’s eyes narrowed, suddenly excited, "Brother-in-law, do you know of any Dual Cultivation Technique?"

"Dual Cultivation? I really don’t know about that," Li Yifei instantly understood Xu Shanshan’s implication. If they could perform Dual Cultivation, perhaps they could indeed transfer Xu Shanshan or Jiang Ningxiang’s Innate Vital Energy to Li Yifei.

But such Dual Cultivation Techniques often appear in novels, where is it in reality? Those he knew had never mentioned it.

Xu Shanshan, having finally thought of a feasible method, was not willing to give up easily, "Then you should go ask around; since you know many people, maybe someone does know. Right, go find those with a bit more Evil qi, like the very wicked ones, they might know such Dual Cultivation Techniques. Oh, maybe even organizations like Noah’s Ark have it."

Li Yifei quickly shook his head, "Asking others is okay, but if we ask people from Noah’s Ark, they can easily guess this method and if they figure it out and use it first, then we are in a dire situation."

Xu Shanshan nodded, "Right, we can’t tell them, otherwise if they get ahead of us, we’ll lose big time."

At this moment, Jiang Ningxiang blinked innocently and asked, "Brother Li, Master, what is Dual Cultivation?"

Xu Shanshan chuckled, "That’s when a man and a woman practice together, like a husband and wife. Ningxiang, didn’t you say you wanted to give Brother Li your Innate Vital Energy? If there really is such a method, then we’ll have to rely on you."

"Ah!" Jiang Ningxiang’s eyes widened, her little face turned so red it seemed like it could bleed, her mouth moved back and forth, yet she couldn’t make a sound.
