"The timing is perfect!"
Ying Chen looked at Nannan, whose golden embryo's phantom had appeared, and suddenly shouted.
Then, a Dragon Blood Qian Yuan Pill was instantly ejected into Ying Chen's palm.
Ying Chen rubbed his palms together, and the incredibly precious Dragon Blood Qian Yuan Pill instantly turned into powder.
Like a pool of cinnabar blood, it gathered in Ying Chen's palm.
Seeing this, Elder Guo frowned with heartache.
Was Ying Chen planning to use the Dragon Blood Qian Yuan Pill as an external application?
Wasn't that a complete waste?
The medicinal properties and pharmacology of the Dragon Blood Qian Yuan Pill were not at all suitable for external application.
But since the item was not his, Elder Guo could only worry in his heart and felt it improper to criticize verbally.
As expected, after crushing the Dragon Blood Qian Yuan Pill, Ying Chen immediately blew it towards Nannan.
Instantly, the powder, like sand in the wind, rolled towards Nannan.
In the blink of an eye, it adhered to Nannan's body, as if she were draped in a red robe.
Ying Chen looked and seemed to feel it wasn't enough.
He took out another Dragon Blood Qian Yuan Pill, repeated the process, and draped Nannan with another layer of "clothing."
Elder Guo couldn't help but have a phrase flash through his mind: a child selling the family land without batting an eye.
Ying Chen was like a foolish son of a landowner, completely unaware of the value of things, recklessly squandering family property.
And all this family property had been painstakingly refined by Elder Guo, pill by pill!
Elder Guo couldn't bear to watch any longer.
"Hmm, this should be about right," Ying Chen said, nodding as he looked at Nannan, who had turned into a "little red person."
Immediately, Ying Chen suddenly cupped his hands, forming a shape like a tortoise shell.
As the palm lines accompanied the formation of the tortoise shell shape, they also underwent a strange change.
They became like the patterns on a tortoise's back!
At first glance, it was horrifying, but after looking for a while, one would find these patterns filled with a mystical sense.
It seemed to imitate the ancient divine tortoise that carried the Luo Shu before the sage!
*Slap!*
Ying Chen suddenly thrust out his palm and struck Nannan!
Nannan immediately let out a muffled groan, her little face flashing with a tinge of green and red.
She seemed to find it difficult to withstand Ying Chen's palm strike.
This made the others a little tense.
Fortunately, Nannan's face soon showed a look of comfort.
Looking at the spot where Ying Chen had struck, the red powder on her skin had completely disappeared!
Only a faint trace remained, indicating that the powder had all permeated into Nannan's body through her pores!
In other words, Ying Chen was not, as Elder Guo had imagined, using the Dragon Blood Qian Yuan Pill as an external application.
Instead, he had employed an extremely ingenious method to slowly and diffusely infuse the medicinal properties into Nannan's body!
It was akin to modern medical injections!
"This works too?" Elder Guo was dumbfounded.
He had achieved considerable success in medicine; before joining the Shen Nong Sect, he was already a renowned medical expert.
But Ying Chen's method was something he had never seen or heard of!
He suddenly felt like a medical elementary school student, staring blankly at a university student solving problems with calculus equations!
*Pa, pa, pa...*
Ying Chen did not stop, and then proceeded with the second and third palm strikes.
Elder Guo had been watching with great curiosity, but then he suddenly became stunned.
His brows were tightly furrowed, as if he had encountered something difficult to understand, yet not entirely incomprehensible; he could only grasp a tiny bit of it.
This feeling of something stuck in his throat made Elder Guo extremely uncomfortable.
He wished he could crack open his head and stuff more brains into it.
Otherwise, his brain wouldn't be enough!
Before long, Ying Chen had already delivered dozens of palm strikes.
The medicinal powder on Nannan's body was decreasing.
Meanwhile, Elder Guo, who had been deep in thought, had a sudden flash of inspiration after seeing Ying Chen's next palm strike and suddenly understood something!
"This is the Nine Palaces and Eight Winds Diagram!"
"The direction and sequence of Immortal Master Ying's palm strikes completely follow the Nine Palaces and Eight Winds Diagram from the Luo Shu!"
"The art of the Nine Palaces not only corresponds to celestial phenomena but also to the human body. Yang numbers are primary and located in the four cardinal directions, representing heavenly energies; yin numbers are secondary and located in the four corners, representing earthly energies; five resides in the center, occupying the central palace, and nourishes the four corners, representing earth energy!"
"The internal organs of the human body correspond to these, each with its own attribute!"
"Immortal Master Ying, based on this principle, has specifically catalyzed the medicinal properties into different parts of Nannan's body. No wonder Immortal Master Ying said earlier that there was no need to worry about Nannan; with such a perfectly ingenious feeding method, there was indeed no need to worry!"
Elder Guo was so excited that he was gesticulating, as if he had penetrated some great secret.
Min Ziqiong and Min Ziqing, on the other hand, listened with a look of bewilderment.
Although they didn't understand, there was one thing they did grasp: Ying Chen's method was very powerful, and it posed no danger to Nannan!
The two siblings were thus relieved.
Finally, all the medicinal powder had been catalyzed and had completely permeated Nannan's body.
Nannan's golden embryo phantom on her skin had become even more condensed and clear.
Before, only a faint human form could be seen; now, one could see her limbs, torso, and head!
However, one thing was that the golden embryo's phantom seemed to be shrinking.
It was retreating into Nannan's body bit by bit, like a sensitive plant touched.
"What's happening?" Min Ziqiong and Min Ziqing asked simultaneously.
"Don't worry, it's not a bad thing, but a great thing! This indicates that Nannan's golden embryo has detached from its nascent form and is evolving into a true golden embryo! It was just a phantom before, and now it's starting to take shape," Elder Guo explained.
As if hearing Elder Guo's words, in the next second, the golden embryo phantom abruptly retracted completely into Nannan's body.
It disappeared entirely.
At the same time, a sound of heartbeats boomed from within Nannan's body.
*Bang bang, bang bang, bang bang...*
If one listened closely, each beat was actually two consecutive sounds!
It was as if Nannan had an extra heart inside her!
"This..." The siblings Min Ziqiong and Min Ziqing were confused again.
Elder Guo and Ying Chen, however, both showed looks of relief.
Because these dual heartbeats represented the official formation of Nannan's golden embryo!
Within Nannan's body, it was as if she had gained a "self" that could assist her cultivation and provide double the energy.
Not only would her energy bursts be greater than others, but her energy recovery speed would also be faster!
What is top-tier talent?
What is top-tier innate potential?
This is it!
Compared to Nannan, those so-called geniuses of the Xuanmen sect instantly became garbage!
Those "Divine Wood Body" and "Great Sun Bone Marrow" that were praised to the heavens were all just ornate pillowcases with loud names and lackluster effects!
If Nannan's golden embryo primordial spirit were to spread, she would never have peace from that day on.
Elders from the top Xuanmen sects would be breaking down their door.
They would all be crying and begging to take Nannan as a disciple!
If they couldn't take her as a disciple, they would harbor malicious intentions and try to strangle Nannan in her cradle!
Otherwise, if Nannan were to join another sect, it would be a super threat comparable to a nuclear bomb!
"This matter must never be leaked, or the consequences will be endless," Elder Guo quickly cautioned the Min Ziqiong siblings.
The siblings understood the gravity of the situation and nodded solemnly.
Only Ying Chen's face seemed to bear four words: utterly unconcerned!
If they dared to come, Ying Chen would dare to make them die!
After giving the instructions, Elder Guo circled Nannan, clicking his tongue and sighing repeatedly.
After a long while, he suddenly walked up to Ying Chen and bowed deeply: "Mr. Ying, I am convinced. I am thoroughly convinced!"
"There is no need to continue with this bet. I concede defeat in advance!"
