Chapter 94: Igniting the Yin Fiend Qi
The Extreme Yin Dragon Essence!
Seeing the black spirit herb emitting a powerful, chilling aura, joy appeared on the faces of Lin Dong and the others. With this powerful Yin essence herb, Qingtan's recurring bursts of cold energy could finally be resolved.
"Lord Langtian…words can't express our gratitude for this…" said Lin Xiao, clasping his hands in thanks as he gazed at the Extreme Yin Dragon Essence. By his side, Qingtan's pale face showed a glimmer of hope. Lin Dong was also filled with gratitude beyond words.
"Don't worry about it," Lin Langtian replied with a smile. "I promised long ago to help Qingtan with her cold energy, and the Extreme Yin Dragon Essence was a fortunate find in the ancient tomb. It didn't take much effort to obtain."
"Regardless," Lin Xiao replied solemnly, "you've done our family a great kindness." Lin Dong nodded in agreement.
Lin Langtian nodded in acknowledgment, then paused briefly, becoming slightly more serious. "However, even though we have the Yin essence herb, there's still a risk in drawing out the cold energy in Qingtan's body—it could even be life-threatening."
"Brother Langtian, I'm not afraid!" Qingtan said quickly, sensing the hesitance in his tone. Her small face turned up, resolute. After spending so much time together, and seeing Langtian retrieve the Extreme Yin Dragon Essence, she'd come to see him as a true brother.
Seeing her determination, Lin Langtian was silent for a moment before nodding. "Alright, get yourself ready. This will be an important night."
At his words, Qingtan beamed, nodding eagerly before skipping off like a butterfly, light and joyful.
As she left, Lin Langtian's expression grew serious once more. Looking at Lin Xiao and the others, he said, "While Qingtan isn't afraid, I want to be clear about the dangers. If we fully ignite the Yin Fiend Qi within her, it could be uncontrollable. At worst, she could die; at best, she may suffer severe injury."
"Of course, if we're successful, the benefits to Qingtan will be immense. Once she solidifies her Yin Core, her strength will skyrocket. In fact, even the so-called top talents of the Yan Dynasty won't easily match her in the future."
"This unique constitution may bring hardship, but once she's free from it, she'll be a prodigy like no other."
Even though he knew from his memories that Qingtan had successfully solidified her Yin Core in the original timeline, Lin Langtian felt it necessary to emphasize the risks. Lin Xiao's expression shifted before he finally sighed and nodded.
As her father, he cared little about how strong she might become. He only wanted her to be happy and healthy.
"Lord Langtian, please proceed. If we don't try this, I fear she won't be able to endure the Yin energy much longer. We have no choice but to go all in!" Lin Dong declared. With Xiao Diao's guidance, he knew that Langtian's warning wasn't exaggerated. Qingtan's Yin Qi surges had only been growing stronger. At this rate, in six months, her body would no longer be able to resist the corrosive effects.
That night, in the Lin Family's inner courtyard, Qingtan sat quietly on a stone platform. Yin energy curled around her, coating the stone in a thin layer of frost.
Even before the Yin Fiend Qi within her had been drawn out, her surroundings had already begun to change. It was hard to imagine how terrifying it would be when it fully erupted.
From below, Lin Langtian signaled to the bird on his shoulder. Jinwu responded, spreading its wings and taking to the sky. Its sharp calls echoed in the still night.
"Caw! Caw!"
As Jinwu called out, streams of dark energy appeared from every corner, surging toward the Lin Family's courtyard.
Normally, the best time to help Qingtan solidify her Yin Core would be when the Yin energy in the atmosphere was at its strongest. But with Jinwu, a Seven Fiends Dark Gold Crow, they could generate a concentrated Yin environment anytime, without waiting for a specific day.
Under Jinwu's guidance, the Yin Qi in the atmosphere thickened quickly, seeping into Qingtan's body in strands, seemingly beyond her control.
Lin Dong observed in astonishment, his gaze shifting to the bird Lin Langtian had named Jinwu. So this is the strength of a Royal Beast? he thought, noting how effortlessly it could draw out the Yin Qi in the atmosphere despite its young age.
Lin Langtian, however, kept his focus on Qingtan atop the stone platform.
Her eyes remained shut as more and more Yin energy flowed into her, stirring the dormant cold energy deep within. A chill began to seep from her body.
The cold energy gradually grew stronger, and after half an hour, Qingtan's body trembled slightly as the Yin Fiend Qi within her reached its peak, triggered by the concentrated Yin energy in the atmosphere.
In response, Lin Langtian's eyes narrowed. With a swift motion, he summoned a jade box from his storage bag.
The box opened, releasing the Extreme Yin Dragon Essence, a black spirit herb radiating an intensely pure, chilling aura. The herb floated upward, coming to rest above Qingtan's head.
"Break!" Lin Langtian commanded, clenching his fist. The herb shattered, releasing drops of viscous, dark liquid brimming with Yin energy. The droplets fell onto Qingtan's crown, seeping rapidly into her body.
"Boom!"
The moment the liquid entered her, a surge of Yin Fiend Qi burst from her body like a raging storm.
Even Lin Langtian found himself taken aback by the intensity. Jinwu, on the other hand, chirped in delight, circling joyfully in the air as the dark energy erupted.
