Yan Lingji took the Jade Square and the Refined Iron Tool from her Storage Soul Tool. Following the information Jiang Ce had sent her, she hurled them with pinpoint accuracy from a distance.
She harvested the Infernal Delicate Apricot, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass,
the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, and the Aromatic Silk Beauty—
one by one, she picked the five Immortal Herbs.
She didn't touch them directly. Instead, she used a gust of force to draw the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass together.
The two mutually opposing Immortal Herbs collided in midair. Their icy and fiery forces canceled each other out, neutralizing their toxins.
Yan Lingji swallowed the Immortal Herbs one by one, then leaped into the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The forces of ice and fire exploded within her.
Half her body felt as if it had plunged into an ice cellar, while the other half seemed to have fallen into a furnace.
The two utterly opposite forces raged through her meridians. If she hadn't first taken those two Immortal Herbs to neutralize the toxins, she would already have burst apart.
The spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was terrifyingly extreme. Even a Titled Douluo wouldn't dare venture into it lightly.
But the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass had imbued Yan Lingji with the forces of ice and fire, protecting her and actually speeding up her absorption.
Medusa stared, dumbfounded.
"She... she's gone mad?!"
Every one of those Immortal Herbs contained an extreme poison. Even she, a queen among venomous snakes, wouldn't dare touch them recklessly.
And on top of that—
Even a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would be worn away to nothing if it fell into the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"She won't die. She'll become stronger."
"Impossible... The extreme energy here only allows plants to survive. No animal can live in it. Even I only dare to linger outside the valley..."
Medusa muttered to herself, then watched as energy churned within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, red and white light intertwining and surging.
Yan Lingji hadn't died.
Within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Yan Lingji's body rose and sank.
The forces of ice and fire continually tempered every inch of her flesh, every bone, every meridian.
Soul Power surged through her body as impurities were gradually expelled, leaving it purer and more solid.
Her physique grew stronger.
Her spiritual power climbed.
Her Soul Power was compressed, refined, and elevated.
Above her head, two Martial Souls appeared at once—
A Fire Spirit Hairpin, its entire length crimson, a lustrous sheen flowing along its shaft.
A Nine-Tailed Fire Spirit Charm Fox, its nine tails swaying behind it, as red as flames.
Medusa's pupils contracted.
Twin Martial Souls?
This human had Twin Martial Souls!
How was that possible?!
How could something as absurd as Twin Martial Souls exist?!
The next instant,
something even more shocking happened.
The Fire Spirit Hairpin suddenly burst into dazzling crimson-gold light. A clear phoenix cry rang through the valley—
From within the hairpin,
a scarlet phoenix phantom circled into view. Its feathers were magnificent, its tail long and flowing. It wheeled once above Yan Lingji's head, then vanished back into the hairpin.
The hairpin grew ever more translucent, lustrous as precious jade, while the pattern of phoenix feathers appeared across its surface.
Fire Spirit Hairpin—evolved into—Phoenix Hairpin.
At the same time, the Nine-Tailed Fire Spirit Charm Fox underwent a transformation.
Its scarlet fur fell away, replaced by pure white fur, lustrous as jade and glowing faintly.
Its nine tails grew longer and fluffier, with ghostly blue flames burning at their tips.
Fire Spirit Charm Fox—evolved into—Nine-Tailed Sky Fox.
Yan Lingji's aura soared higher and higher.
Though she had no Sixth Soul Ring, leaving her level firmly stuck at sixty,
her physique, spiritual power, and Soul Power purity—every one of them surged with each passing second.
Deep within her dantian,
a vortex slowly took shape.
"This... this is Martial Soul Evolution...?"
Medusa stared blankly at it all, at a loss for words.
What kind of person was this human, anyway?
Yan Lingji floated in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for a full day and night, until dawn the next morning.
"Splash—!"
A spray of water burst into the air as Yan Lingji sprang from the spring and landed steadily on the bank.
Now, she—
looked more mature and fuller than before, her curves exquisite, her skin like smooth white jade, faintly glowing with a lustrous sheen.
Her long, ink-black hair fell to her waist, strands shimmering with a hint of radiance.
Most impossible to look away from was the seductive air she seemed born with.
Every smile and frown tugged at the heartstrings.
Every gesture was bewitchingly alluring.
Her seduction was no longer a deliberate tease. It seeped from her very bones, a natural allure that seemed part of her from birth.
It was as though she had been born to turn the world upside down, a bewitching enchantress who could make all creation sink into temptation.
"Master—"
Yan Lingji spoke, her voice soft as silk, touched with a languid smile.
"My Fire Spirit Hairpin evolved into a Phoenix Hairpin. And my Fire Spirit Charm Fox evolved into a Nine-Tailed Sky Fox."
She raised her hand, and the Phoenix Hairpin appeared in her palm.
The hairpin was blood-red, its phoenix-head carving so lifelike that the faint sound of a phoenix's cry seemed to come from within.
With another wave of her hand, the phantom of a Nine-Tailed Sky Fox appeared behind her—
The pure-white fox swayed its nine enormous tails, ghostly blue foxfire dancing at their tips.
"The Phoenix Hairpin contains a phoenix. It possesses Nirvana, Phoenix Flame, Auspiciousness..."
"Each tail of the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox represents a divine talent."
Yan Lingji listed them one by one.
First Tail · Soul Snatching: One glance, and the soul is scattered.
A mere look could seize the target's three souls and seven spirits.
Second Tail · Heavenly Illusion: Upend the senses, confuse black and white.
Weave an illusion that ensnares the mind.
Third Tail · Red Lotus Karma Fire: Sin becomes fuel; karmic fire engulfs the body.
The heavier the sin, the fiercer the flames.
Fourth Tail · Omen of Auspiciousness: Wherever its radiance shines, no evil can intrude.
It purifies wickedness and protects her companions.
Fifth Tail · Future Sight: A light sweep of the tail tip foresees fortune and misfortune, and perceives a thousand miles away.
Sixth Tail · Nine Tails Resonance: The nine tails resonate, shaking the laws of the world and briefly stepping outside causality.
With her current cultivation at level sixty, she could freely use the divine talents of her first six tails.
"Not bad, not bad."
Jiang Ce's voice brimmed with satisfaction.
"I never thought my Charm Fox would evolve straight into a Nine-Tailed Sky Fox. Tsk, you really are a fox spirit reincarnated."
Yan Lingji curled her lips. Her gaze shimmered, and her seductive aura grew ever more intense.
"Even if I am a fox spirit, I'm your fox spirit, Master."
As she spoke,
two fluffy white fox ears suddenly appeared atop her head, twitching lightly.
Behind her, nine snowy-white fox tails emerged from her lower back, soft and fluffy, their tips burning with ghostly blue foxfire.
As the nine tails swayed, the aura of the Calamity Enchantress nearly spilled out of her—
Every smile and frown was bewitching.
Every movement was breathtaking.
Jiang Ce couldn't help clicking his tongue. "Tsk, tsk. I used to envy King Zhou. Now I've got an SSS-rank fox spirit just like his."
Yan Lingji's eyes shimmered, her fox tails swaying gently as she took graceful steps closer, her seductive aura growing stronger.
"Then, my king—"
Her voice was soft and lilting, each word alluring.
"Would you like to taste what a fox spirit feels like?"
"Of course!"
In an instant,
tentacles surged from Yan Lingji's clothes, writhing and clawing at the air.
They were about to plunge into the Calamity Enchantress with wild abandon!
