Shui Miao extended his right hand, and both Bai Feng and the Black Snake Demon turned to look…
“This… what is this?”
The Black Snake Demon stared blankly, only able to sense that something was off with Shui Miao’s hand, but unable to pinpoint exactly what.
Yet this simple sentence revealed the Black Snake Demon’s true power—it was far inferior to the Yin Holy Spirit.
Bai Feng stepped closer to examine and became puzzled. “This seems like some kind of yin spirit. At first glance, it appears quite ordinary, but upon closer inspection, there’s something distinctly different about it.”
As a female ghost spirit, Bai Feng shared a similar nature with the Yin Holy Spirit, allowing her to perceive these subtleties.
“Different? How so?” Shui Miao’s heart stirred slightly as he looked at Bai Feng. She truly was a refined young lady—even as a ghost, her elegance remained untouched. If she were to enter the Immortal Realm, she might easily stir jealousy and envy among many celestial maidens.
Bai Feng pondered thoughtfully for a moment, furrowing her delicate brows before replying, “I can’t quite put it into words. Compared to ordinary yin spirits, it seems purer, yet somehow mixed with something unique. It feels strangely novel—unclear and indescribable.”
“Could it be Purple Fortune Spirit?”
A sudden realization struck Shui Miao. The Purple Spirit was incredibly mysterious, possessing many unknown special abilities. Perhaps among these abilities were powers to conceal oneself and deceive others. As his thoughts deepened, another terrifying thought surfaced—this Yin Holy Spirit had been absorbing purple energy all over the place. Now that it had latched onto his hand, maybe it was also drawing in his own Purple Fortune Spirit. If that were true, he’d be in serious trouble.
Suddenly, Shui Miao had the urge to chop off his own hand.
“Purple Fortune Spirit?”
At the mention of the term, Bai Feng was taken aback. “Is there really such a type of spiritual energy in this world?”
“…”
The Black Snake Demon also looked curious, clearly unfamiliar with the concept.
“Yes, of course. It’s a kind of spiritual energy that can alter one’s fortune,” Shui Miao nodded, casually explaining a bit more before placing his hand on a nearby stool. He channeled the last remnants of his immortal energy from his dantian, forcefully expelling the Yin Holy Spirit from his body. Once he removed his hand, three deep purple dice became visible.
Its color had changed!!
Seeing the dice shift from black to deep purple, Shui Miao was shocked. Immediately, he suspected that the Yin Holy Spirit had absorbed a massive amount of his Purple Fortune energy, transforming its color. This Yin Holy Spirit was too sinister—it must be destroyed immediately. If he allowed it to remain attached to his hand, within seven days, it would likely drain all his Purple Fortune energy. Even his vital essence and yang energy might be completely consumed, leading to certain death.
Realizing the terrifying nature of the Yin Holy Spirit, Shui Miao finally felt fear.
“Ahh!”
After examining the deep purple dice and leaning in to sniff them, Bai Feng suddenly gasped in astonishment. “I understand now! This is a hybrid of a Ghost Fetus Infant Spirit and a fragment of Yin Holy Spirit. It must be some extremely powerful ghost mother who collected numerous Yin Holy Spirits, then cultivated Ghost Fetus Infant Spirits using them. Once they grew slightly stronger, she released them to absorb various types of spiritual energy they preferred for further growth. This particular Ghost Fetus Infant Spirit turned into dice likely because its first host was a set of dice, shaping it into what we see now.”
Bai Feng, usually reserved and indifferent, rarely showed such surprise.
The three dice remained motionless.
“There should be three Ghost Fetus Infant Spirits…”
After observing for a while, the Black Snake Demon muttered to itself.
“Uh…”
At these words, Bai Feng’s expression changed. “That actually makes sense. Judging from their appearance, they seem very young. Their stillness probably means they’re inside the dice, refining and absorbing the Purple Fortune energy they took from you, Shui Miao.”
“Why not destroy them while they’re still small?” The Black Snake Demon narrowed its eyes, a sinister smile creeping across its lips.
However, Bai Feng shook her head at the Black Snake Demon. “I wish you could destroy them, but I know that anything connected to Yin Holy Spirit will rapidly grow extremely powerful. Even an ordinary ghost spirit, once obtaining Yin Holy Spirit, could surpass others who have cultivated for hundreds of years within just a few years.”
“Damn! So powerful! Then what should we do?”
Startled, the Black Snake Demon quickly stepped back. But soon after, with its usual cunning, it turned its eyes suspiciously toward Bai Feng. “White Phoenix, are you trying to scare me? I’ve been cultivating for over a hundred years, yet I’ve never even heard of Yin Holy Spirit. You seem to know everything—have you actually seen it before?”
“I’ve never seen it myself. But I had a master who lived in this world for over a thousand years. She became powerful by absorbing Yin Holy Spirit and told me about its characteristics. I also recognize the aura of Ghost Fetus Infant Spirits. When combined, as a ghost immortal, I naturally can distinguish them.” Bai Feng had no mood to argue with the Black Snake Demon. She was explaining to Shui Miao, hoping he could find a way to deal with these Ghost Fetus Infant Spirits tainted by Yin Holy Spirit.
“…”
Shui Miao remained silent, deep in thought.
An older scholar had once told Shui Miao that his rapid cultivation was due to obtaining some Water Holy Spirit.
Since yin and yang, the five elements, all have mutual generation and restraint relationships, Shui Miao couldn’t suppress yin-type Holy Spirits.
To counter Yin Holy Spirit, he needed Yang Holy Spirit. But where could he find Yang Holy Spirit? He had absolutely no idea.
Now, if what Bai Feng said was true, perhaps the Dragon-Seeking Ruler could destroy these three Ghost Fetus Infant Spirits.
Shui Miao really wanted to try using the Dragon-Seeking Ruler but was afraid of damaging it.
As Shui Miao struggled with this dilemma, three burly young men wearing black pants and black tank tops entered the waiting room. They glanced around and noticed an empty table near Shui Miao, so they walked over together. Just as one of them was about to sit down on the spot where the three dice lay, Shui Miao hurriedly tried to stop him: “Don’t sit…”
Ordinary people could normally see the three dice.
But ever since they turned deep purple, ordinary humans could no longer perceive them.
The young man assumed Shui Miao was just trying to reserve a seat. Seeing how childish Shui Miao looked, he hesitated briefly before disdainfully plopping his butt right down on the dice. He looked at Shui Miao, blew a smoke ring from his cigarette, and sneered mockingly, “Kid, where do you hang out? Is this seat your property? Should we boys collect some protection fees from you?”
Visible on the young man’s chest and arms were parts of a black tattoo. Judging from the exposed patterns, it appeared to be a large black dragon.
Hearing this, the other two youths shook their heads and laughed, their faces filled with arrogance.
“Do you even know what you’re sitting on? If you don’t want to die, I suggest you get up immediately,” Shui Miao urgently warned, trying to save the man’s life without realizing to whom he was speaking.
This young man was a street thug.
Upon hearing Shui Miao’s words, the other two youths immediately stood up, ready to come over and beat him. But just then, the young man who had plopped his butt onto the three dice suddenly looked strange. Instinctively, he lifted his bottom, then grabbed his stomach, his facial expression growing increasingly pained…
