The Cool and Aloof Senior Sister Always Flirts with Me

Chapter 157: Embryo

What is this?

Yan Jue held her water-avoiding seal, cold sweat already beading on her back, but despite the flames shooting into her brow, she didn't feel any discomfort at all.

Just as Yan Jue was feeling puzzled, something suddenly flashed through her mind.

—The Great War between Immortals and Demons, with countless deaths, and this is the Yin Spirit Fire of the Dragon Clan's sacred heritage.

Yan Jue's thoughts stirred, and a wave of overwhelming coldness surged from her heart.

Her Ice Spirit Root inside her body leapt with joy, as though her entire body had been reborn.

...

When Yan Jue pulled Taotie's tail and climbed back onto the shore, she looked utterly disheveled. Her long, dark hair was soaked by the water, with droplets sliding down her body.

Fortunately, she had the Ice Spirit Root, so the cold didn't affect her much. Yan Jue formed a seal with her fingers, and the water on her body slowly evaporated.

Qi Xianqing frowned slightly, walking over to pull her up. "How are you?"

Yan Jue replied, "I'm fine."

She then told Qi Xianqing about what she had seen underwater.

"However..."

Yan Jue thought about her experience under the water and asked, "What is the Yin Spirit Fire?"

There was a moment of silence in the air.

Qi Xianqing furrowed her brow. Yan Jue had just told her that she had seen a dead True Dragon underwater, and by accident, had obtained the Dragon Clan's sacred Yin Spirit Fire.

Qi Xianqing explained, "Yin Spirit Fire is a rare demonic cultivation technique."

Yan Jue repeated her words, "Demonic cultivation technique?"

"But why is the Dragon Clan using this kind of fire?"

"The Yin Spirit Fire was originally a secret technique of the Dragon Clan, but because some demonic cultists saw its properties suited their dark arts, they stole the inheritance of this fire from the Dragon Clan."

"Thus, this Yin Spirit Fire was once popular among the Demonic Cults a thousand years ago."

Compared to the immortal sects in the world, the Demonic Cult was essentially just a group of ragtag individuals.

Unlike the strict, systematic inheritance of sects, the demonic cultivators didn't have a proper, systematic legacy. They could only learn fragmented and patchy techniques.

And the Yin Spirit Fire was undoubtedly one of the top techniques of the Demonic Cult.

Qi Xianqing paused for a moment before continuing, "This fire is incredibly evil. Although it's a type of fire, it's intensely cold. If a mortal even touches a spark of it, their soul will instantly be destroyed."

Yan Jue was stunned.

Because she was a pure Yin body and also had the Ice Spirit Root, she could perfectly integrate with this Yin Fire.

Qi Xianqing added, "The reason this fire is so powerful is because it uses living souls as its cultivation material. The threshold for cultivation is very low. Every time someone's soul is killed, the fire grows stronger."

Yan Jue nodded.

This meant that the stronger the Yin Spirit Fire, the more living souls were used to fuel it.
