When Tian Xin learned that, as a child, Ling Tian had wanted to make Youye his heart's Natal Dan Artifact, she found it hilarious. She bluntly remarked that she'd never imagined Ling Tian could be so clueless. Demonic artifacts clashed with Buddhist energy, so how could it possibly have worked?
Teased by Tian Xin, Ling Tian grumbled indignantly, "It's not like I only tried demonic artifacts. I tried other treasures, too. The Jade Flute and the others didn't work either, and the ones with other attributes didn't seem to work, either."
