Seven days later, the residual Divine Sense Imprint on the Purple Qi Spirit-Birth Furnace was on the verge of collapse.
Yang Jing didn’t press forward rashly. Instead, he chose to rest and consume an Elixir to recover his Divine Sense. He had spent seven days and seven nights working tirelessly to break the Divine Sense Imprint, and even he felt a bit exhausted.
To prepare for the Divine Sense Imprint’s final, desperate struggle, Yang Jing took his time to rest and recuperate. He only resumed his work after recovering most of his Divine Sense.
With a soft WHOOSH, the damaged Divine Sense Imprint on the Purple Qi Spirit-Birth Furnace scattered like a cloud of fireflies.
Yang Jing slowly let out a breath. Although this Pill Furnace was a Tier Four Magical Treasure, it hadn’t been refined on the Western Continent, so it hadn’t developed a consciousness like Ten Thousand Transformations, Celestial Waterfall, or the Five Fires.
’If it had developed a consciousness, breaking the imprint wouldn’t have been so easy.’
’The materials used for this Pill Furnace are exceptional. I could find some time to dismantle it and reforge it into the Profound Celestial Furnace. Although the Profound Celestial Furnace is only Tier Three, its potential is definitely greater than this Purple Qi Spirit-Birth Furnace.’
Yang Jing hesitated for a moment, then activated the Restriction on the Purple Qi Spirit-Birth Furnace and opened its body.
A violent torrent of Spiritual Mechanism erupted from the furnace, as ethereal as clouds and mist. This Spiritual Mechanism, however, could not obscure Yang Jing’s Dharma Eye. He clearly saw a figure like the Gusha Fairy standing quietly within it, her skin as white as jade and smooth as cream, her black hair cascading to her waist like a waterfall.
A pair of beautiful, affectionate eyes looked at Yang Jing, filled with unspoken emotion.
With a surge of Magical Power, Yang Jing conjured a Five-Colored greatcoat and draped it over her, covering her exquisite form.
"You’re Si Taizhen?"
Although the beauty before him was about the same height and build, and her eyes and brows still held a trace of Si Taizhen, Si Taizhen was clearly a man.
’What in the world had the Jade Poison Great Saint and Danxia True Monarch done? Had they gone through all this trouble just to change their son’s gender?’
Moreover, Yang Jing felt an incredibly strong pull from Si Taizhen. If not for his firm Dao heart, powerful Divine Sense, and the Subduing God effect of his Five Dragons Hibernation Scripture, he might have lost his composure.
He was certain that this attraction was not the result of a Charm Technique.
’A Golden Core Stage Cultivator trying to use a Charm Technique on me would be seen through in an instant and suffer a backlash. It would be utterly ineffective.’
"Of course I’m Si Taizhen."
The beauty in the mist carefully gathered the Spiritual Mechanism scattered in the air, condensing it into a Treasure Pearl in her palm.
Under the calcination of the Spiritual Fire, her mother and several brothers had long been reduced to ash. This Spiritual Mechanism was the only trace of them left in the world.
"This is my mother and my brothers."
Si Taizhen looked up, her bright eyes fixed on Yang Jing. She told him everything—her experiences, the Innate Chaotic Qi—holding nothing back.
The Innate Chaotic Qi in her Divine Soul had completely transformed into Innate Pure Yin Qi. It no longer had the effect of helping one break through to the Divinity Transformation stage, but if a Golden Core Cultivator obtained it, their chances of reaching the Nascent Soul stage would increase by thirty percent almost immediately.
"So that’s how it is."
After listening, Yang Jing had an epiphany. No wonder he had felt such a strong tremor in his heart.
’Yin and Yang attract each other. Back in the Jade Poison Kingdom, the reason Si Taizhen treated me differently was likely because of the bottle of Innate Pure Yang Qi hidden in my Inner World.’
’And because I hadn’t had time to refine the Innate Pure Yang Qi into my Magical Power, I hadn’t felt any particular connection to her.’
’Now that I’ve refined a large amount of Innate Pure Yang Qi into my Magical Power, I find my feelings for her difficult to control after seeing her.’
’The attraction between Innate Yin and Yang Qi is far more powerful than any Charm Technique.’
Yang Jing was silent for a moment. Seeing that the Spirit Pearl in Si Taizhen’s hand required a constant supply of Magical Power to keep from dissipating, he casually took out some Spiritual Materials, activated his Spiritual Fire, and inscribed a Restriction. In the time it takes an incense stick to burn, he had refined an Incense Ball strung on a delicate silver chain.
The entire Incense Ball was made of three layers of hollowed-out Golden Thread, forming a pattern of a dragon and phoenix.
"Put the pearl inside this Incense Ball. The Restriction will lock it in, and it will last forever."
Si Taizhen walked up to Yang Jing. Her fingers, as elegant as jade, picked up the Incense Ball and carefully placed the Spirit Pearl inside. The Restriction on the ball flared with Spiritual Light, completely isolating the Spiritual Mechanism within and firmly maintaining the pearl’s shape.
"What are you going to do with me? Kill me and refine out the Innate Pure Yin Qi?"
After carefully putting the Incense Ball away, she moved closer to Yang Jing, her breath as fragrant as an orchid, and spoke.
Yang Jing shook his head. ’I don’t need to resort to such methods to reach the Nascent Soul stage. Besides, I still have the Moon Demon King imprisoned in my Inner World.’
’After completely refining the Moon Demon King, I’ll obtain pure Yin Qi. Although its quality can’t compare to Innate Pure Yin Qi, the quantity will be far greater.’
Although Si Taizhen had revealed almost everything, she had secretly concealed one thing.
Because the Innate Pure Yin Qi was hidden in her Divine Soul, she could use the Yin-Yang connection to vaguely sense the shifts in Yang Jing’s emotions.
’After revealing the Innate Pure Yin Qi in my Divine Soul, I didn’t sense the slightest trace of killing intent from Yang Jing’s emotions. Compared to my father, the Jade Poison Great Saint, who killed his wife and sons for the sake of Innate Chaotic Qi, the difference in their character is like that between the clouds and the mud.’
"Become my disciple."
Yang Jing looked at Si Taizhen before him.
"Huh?"
Si Taizhen stared at Yang Jing in disbelief.
Yang Jing could clearly see that Si Taizhen’s status panel had changed dramatically. Her original Legendary Tier Talents, Nanming Li Fire and Soaring Snake True Body, had advanced directly to Epic.
[Name]: Soaring Serpent (Bloodline Regression)
[Species Level]: Legendary
[Power]: Demon King (Golden Core)
[Talent]: Cloud Formation and Mist Formation (Legendary), Nanming Li Fire (Epic), Soaring Snake True Body (Epic), Overturning Rivers and Seas (Legendary), Poison of Jade Transformation (Rare)
[Cultivation Technique]: Nine Revolutions Celestial Snake Scripture
[Skill]: Seven-Exploring Snake Coiling Spear
[Affinity]: 100
’The Seven Veins Essence Transformation Secret Skill alone couldn’t have had such a miraculous effect. The devolution of the Innate Chaotic Qi in her Divine Soul into Innate Pure Yin Qi must have played a huge role.’
Si Taizhen became a little angry. She could sense that Yang Jing wasn’t joking at all—he truly wanted to take her as his disciple.
She used her Magical Power to freeze the water vapor, condensing it into a Treasure Mirror to examine her appearance. ’Have I gotten uglier?’
But the face in the mirror was beautiful enough to eclipse the moon and shame the flowers; she was clearly more stunning than before.
Waving a hand to disperse the Ice Mirror, Si Taizhen looked at Yang Jing:
"Fine, I’ll be your disciple. But I want to dual cultivate with you!"
The corner of Yang Jing’s eye twitched.
"On our Western Continent, masters and disciples are forbidden from dual cultivating."
"I don’t care. I’m just a Wild Demon from the sea; I don’t understand any of your Western Continent’s rules. Besides, if I don’t dual cultivate with you, I’ll die."
