Chapter 180 Zhao Ya Activates Her Constitution

In the courtyard where Zhao Ya lived.

Yao Han looked at the message from his subordinate and shook his head with a wry smile.

Ever since he learned from Zhao Ya that Teacher Zhang Xuan had the strength of the Aperture Opening Realm, he had been suspicious. After a few days of secret investigation, he indeed uncovered the whereabouts of Teacher Shang Bin—that day… he never came out!

In other words, the one who beat him into a pig’s head at the entrance to Zhang Xuan’s dormitory was definitely not this man.

With this information, the rest was easy to deduce. Clearly, the one who attacked him was most likely Miss’s Teacher Zhang.

“That guy is such a bastard…”

Thinking back to the scene of the beating, Yao Han still felt an urge to vomit blood. You’re a college teacher, supposed to be upright and impartial, yet you ambush and throw dirty punches—and on top of that, you divert suspicion and mislead my thoughts… truly shameless.

“Forget it. With a teacher like that, Miss probably won’t suffer any losses.”

Though displeased, thinking of how this Teacher Zhang had casually given away something like the Cold Sun Mother Herb without any stinginess, he could only wryly endure it.

Having such a teacher who never suffers losses meant Miss would certainly not be bullied—in fact, it was a good thing.

“Steward Yao…”

Just as he put away the message to keep it from Miss, a guard strode in from outside: “The lord has sent word.”

With that, he handed over a recording crystal.

“Mm!” Yao Han nodded, took the crystal, and infused it with true energy. Instantly, a tall, handsome middle-aged man appeared inside.

Zhao Ya’s father, Zhao Feng, the City Lord of White Jade City.

“I already know about Xiao Ya’s matter. In a few days, I will personally come to the royal city to visit this Teacher Zhang Xuan.” In the recording crystal, City Lord Zhao Feng’s gaze was like lightning, carrying his distinctive aura.

“Pure Yin Constitution—there have been precedents in Xiao Ya’s mother’s line. To activate it requires great cost, not to mention opportunity, and most importantly, a third-grade pill worth tens of millions… the Yin-Breaking Pill!”

“When I reach the royal city, I plan to ask His Majesty to help me purchase one from the Alchemist Guild. You should make preparations in advance. Also, I’ve had someone bring you a hundred thousand gold notes to give to Teacher Zhang. We cannot let him save my daughter and still bear the expense. White Jade City does not want to owe favors, nor will it let benefactors suffer losses!”

In the crystal, City Lord Zhao waved his hand grandly, exuding a strong sense of authority.

White Jade City, the second largest city in the Tianxuan Kingdom, was famous for its abundant white jade. As its city lord, controlling vast wealth, he naturally possessed an air of dominating the world and an unyielding pride.

That Teacher Zhang had recognized Zhao Ya’s Pure Yin Constitution and taken action to resolve it was already a great kindness. How could a dignified city lord of White Jade City, a high official, let him spend his own money to cover the costs of treating his daughter?

He, City Lord Zhao, could not afford to lose face!

“Steward Yao, this is what the city lord asked me to bring…” The guard handed over several gold notes.

“The city lord also specifically instructed me to tell you to inform Teacher Zhang that his kindness in teaching Miss will surely be repaid…” The guard continued.

“Understood!” Yao Han nodded.

“Don’t let Miss know about this. You may go!” Waving his hand, Yao Han was about to give further instructions when Zhao Ya walked in from outside.

“Uncle Yao, since you’re here, have someone prepare a wooden tub for me. Also, help me look up a pill called the Yin-Breaking Pill—about how much it costs? Is it more valuable than the Life-Growing Pill?”

As soon as she entered, Zhao Ya gave orders.

Teacher Zhang had directly given her a pill. Though she had no money to repay him now, she still needed to know the price to understand how much he had given for her sake.

“Yin-Breaking Pill? Did Teacher Zhang tell you about this?” Hearing Miss also mention this pill, Yao Han was startled, then secretly admired.

This Teacher Zhang, though a bastard when it came to ambushing people, was still very knowledgeable. Even the city lord had to pay a great price to learn this information, yet he had figured it out so quickly.

Sighing inwardly, Yao Han smiled: “The Yin-Breaking Pill is extremely helpful for the Pure Yin Constitution. Don’t worry, Miss—the city lord will purchase one for you in a few days…”

Third-grade pills were not only expensive but also required connections. Ordinary people couldn’t buy them even if they wanted to.

That was why City Lord Zhao Feng had to come personally, to beg His Majesty to speak to the Alchemist Guild. Otherwise, even as a city lord with a high status in the Tianxuan Kingdom, he might not have the face for it.

The Alchemist Guild was a massive power spanning countless kingdoms. The branch in the Tianxuan Kingdom was merely the smallest level of branch. With such backing, even Emperor Shen Zhui could be ignored, let alone a mere city lord.

Just as he was about to tell Miss that the city lord was coming, Zhao Ya took a jade bottle from her bosom: “No need—Teacher Zhang has already given me one. He told me to cultivate well these few days.”

“He gave you one?” Yao Han’s eyes went wide.

The city lord had just said this was a third-grade pill, each worth tens of millions.

With that much money, even White Jade City would be crippled and unable to recover for years…

Teacher Zhang… casually… gave one away?

Feeling like his head was about to explode, Yao Han was going mad.

He had seen generous people, but… never anyone this generous!

This could no longer be described as generous...

It was simply unbelievable.

"Miss, may I take a look at this pill?" Suppressing his shock, Yao Han couldn't help but look over.

"Here!" Zhao Ya handed over the jade bottle.

Taking the jade bottle, Yao Han casually opened it.

Whoosh!

A rich aura surged out, causing one's pores to open upon smelling it, indescribably comfortable.

Although he didn't understand pills, just by smelling this aura, he knew it was genuine, without a doubt.

Casually taking out a third-grade Yin-Breaking Pill and giving it to a student...

Just what background did this Teacher Zhang have?

Earlier, he had thought he couldn't let the beating go for nothing, and would find an opportunity, when the young lady wasn't around, to quietly teach that fellow a lesson. Seeing this pill, that idea immediately died in his heart.

Last time he said he would castrate him, he was beaten beyond recognition, even his parents wouldn't recognize him... If he really tried to teach him a lesson again, the other party would probably still be fine, while he wouldn't make it back to White Jade City alive...

To be honest, this Teacher Zhang was truly too strange.

The academy's notorious waste, whom he thought was a pervert seducing female students, suddenly turned into a master of the Acupoint Opening Realm, a selfless recluse who disregarded gains and losses. That was one thing, but then he passed the alchemist exam, casually produced Cold Sun Mother Herb and Yin-Breaking Pills... This was no longer just a matter of strength.

Without an extremely strong backing and status, this was impossible.

"The wooden tub is here. I'll go take the pill now!" Knowing that her Uncle Yao had been often lost in thought since the beating, Zhao Ya didn't mind. Taking the Yin-Breaking Pill, she arranged for the tub to be placed in her room and hurried off to cultivate.

Time waited for no one; she didn't want to disappoint Teacher Zhang.

Only Yao Han remained in the room. After who knows how long, he looked at the recording crystal in his hand and smiled bitterly, shaking his head: "City Lord, I know you don't want to owe favors, but... this Teacher Zhang's kindness, I'm afraid it won't be repaid anytime soon..."

A Yin-Breaking Pill that even the city lord couldn't buy, casually given to the young lady... How could such a favor be repaid?

No matter how, it couldn't be repaid...

...

Unaware of Uncle Yao's inner turmoil, Zhao Ya returned to her room. She had someone fill the wooden tub with hot water, instructed that no one should disturb her, then undressed and climbed in.

Then she took the Yin-Breaking Pill from the jade bottle and swallowed it.

The pill entered her throat like a gulp of scalding hot water, and a violent heat instantly spread along her meridians.

The Yin-Breaking Pill, though named 'breaking yin,' actually contained pure yang medicinal power. If this power entered an ordinary person's body, it would be absorbed, turning into true qi or various nutrients to increase strength. But entering the body of a Pure Yin Constitution owner, it would bring catastrophic disaster.

Yin and yang counteract each other; they cannot coexist. Under the pressure of pure yang power, the Pure Yin Constitution, to protect its host, would activate on its own, thereby achieving the effect of awakening.

This process sounded simple but was actually very complex. A slight mistake could lead to the loss of all cultivation.

"Guard the primordial unity, circulate the technique."

Knowing the pill was precious and that no medicinal power should be wasted, Zhao Ya quickly concentrated her mind and circulated her power according to the technique Teacher Zhang had given her.

As expected of a technique compiled from the Heavenly Dao Library. Once she circulated it, she immediately felt the violent aura in her body ease somewhat. The previously stagnant Pure Yin Constitution also began to stir.

Rumble!

After who knows how long, a massive energy vortex formed inside her body. The power of the Yin-Breaking Pill was swept up and coursed through her entire body.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The previous cultivation barriers shattered instantly, and in the blink of an eye, she reached the second level of martial artist, the Dantian Realm.

Under the impact of the medicinal power, the special constitution that had been suppressed for over a decade was instantly activated, like floodwaters bursting through a gate.

If anyone were there, they could clearly see her skin become smoother, more delicate, and more elastic. Before, Zhao Ya, though beautiful, was limited by her age and appeared very immature. Now, she had already revealed the aura and demeanor of a peerless beauty.

The Pure Yin Constitution, a favored child of heaven. Once activated, it not only greatly increased cultivation but also brought a qualitative leap in both skin and figure. Although her appearance hadn't changed much, she now exuded a sense of icy purity and jade-like cleanliness, like a celestial maiden beyond defilement.

If before she was slightly inferior to Shen Biru, now, with her looks and temperament alone, she could make the other hang her head in shame, becoming the true goddess of the entire Hongtian Academy, and even the Tianxuan Kingdom.

Such was the Pure Yin Constitution. Once activated, it could bring about a transformative change, turning an ugly duckling into a white swan. Moreover, Zhao Ya was already a beauty in the making; after the transformation, she naturally became even more beautiful.

Of course, this was only activating ten percent of the constitution.

If fully activated, who knew what she would become.

Boom!

After who knows how long, with a violent roar, the wooden tub shattered. Zhao Ya slowly opened her eyes, and a powerful, profound aura surged forth from her body.
