Record of a Demon's Cultivation-Chapter 605: The Yin-Yang Harmony Technique

Translator: Cinder Translations

"I successfully escaped the island where my family resided, but I was severely injured and on the brink of death. At that moment, Yin Shuo appeared. Seeing my excellent talent, he not only healed my injuries but also took me as his direct disciple."

"Yin Shuo treated me very well and provided endless cultivation resources. That year, I swore to eliminate all the sea demons in order to appease the spirits of my clan. Because of this, I cultivated with extreme diligence, and it didn't take long before I successfully condensed my Golden Core. By that year, I was still under fifty years old."

"After condensing my Golden Core, Yin Shuo had me switch to cultivating a technique called the 'Mysterious Maiden Jade Radiance Art.' I didn't think much of it and assumed that my body's constitution simply suited this cultivation method."

"While continuing my diligent cultivation, I also began investigating the sea monster tribe that had attacked my family. As my investigation deepened, I gradually discovered that the attack on my family was full of suspicious points."

"The island where my family lived was not near a large concentration of sea monsters. Moreover, after attacking my family, the sea monsters mysteriously disappeared and were never seen again on other islands. It was as if they crossed the sea specifically to attack my family."

"At first, I thought it was an enemy of the family who had brought the monsters for revenge. So, I began to investigate the family's enemies to find the true culprit. But I was the only survivor, and there were no leads to investigate. Thus, the matter was put on hold with no progress."

"Until one day, I found a broken cultivation technique in a secret realm. This technique was called the 'Mysterious Maiden Yin Devil Art,' and it was identical to the 'Mysterious Maiden Jade Radiance Art' I was cultivating."

"The only difference was at the beginning. The 'Mysterious Maiden Yin Devil Art' is a dual cultivation method that strengthens the practitioner's Yin Origin. If paired with a male cultivator whose cultivation is close, their cultivation speed will increase significantly. The 'Mysterious Maiden Jade Radiance Art' requires the practitioner to remain a virgin, and once they lose their virginity, their cultivation will never progress."

"At that moment, I realized that I had been deceived by Yin Shuo. It turned out that I was a rare Yin-Yang body, a perfect furnace physique. My family's destruction was caused by me, as Yin Shuo intended to steal the Origin Yin within me to help him break through the bottleneck of the late Nascent Soul stage and advance to the peak of the Nascent Soul."

"Perhaps my cultivation was still shallow, and my Yin Origin wasn't rich enough to help him break through. Or maybe Yin Shuo hadn't yet encountered the bottleneck of the late Nascent Soul stage. For this reason, he hadn't yet moved to steal my Origin Yin."

"In order to protect myself, I had to go to great lengths to conceal my true cultivation."

As Zhu Yin spoke, her expression was extremely complex.

At times, it was filled with sadness, at others with anger, helplessness, and then a killing intent that was chilling.

"Since you know Yin Shuo has ill intentions toward you, why not escape from the Wu Ji Sect?" Song Wen asked.

"Escape?" Zhu Yin's face revealed deep helplessness and bitterness.

"Yin Shuo left a soul-tracking technique in my sea of consciousness under the pretense of protecting me. Unless I can erase the mark of this tracking technique, no matter where I escape, Yin Shuo will always find me."

Song Wen's expression remained indifferent, without any change in his demeanor.

"Friend, your life has been full of hardship, which is truly lamentable. But what does this have to do with our transaction of the Nascent Spirit Pills?"

"If you give me your Nascent Spirit Pill, I will have two, plus one Primordial Nascent Soul Pill. With my eighth-grade spirit root, I'm at least eighty percent confident that I can successfully form a nascent soul. At that time, I will be able to use my soul power to erase the tracking technique from my sea of consciousness," Zhu Yin said.

Upon hearing Zhu Yin's claim of "an eighty percent chance of forming a nascent soul," Song Wen's heart stirred slightly, and a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes.

The probability of success in forming a nascent soul was quite astonishing.

Song Wen slowly spoke, "Even if your chances of forming a nascent soul are high, what does it have to do with me?"

Zhu Yin replied, "In my opinion, your cultivation talent is quite average."

Song Wen frowned, uncertain of why she mentioned his talent.

However, he still answered truthfully.

"Indeed, my cultivation talent is far inferior to yours. I only have a sixth-grade spirit root."

Zhu Yin smiled faintly, as if the worse Song Wen's talent was, the more advantageous it would be for her.

"A sixth-grade spirit root is just an average-grade root, with a success rate of less than one-tenth for forming a nascent soul. Even with the Nascent Spirit Pill and Primordial Nascent Soul Pill, it will not exceed four-tenths. Although a four-tenth chance is enough to give it a try, if you fail, the next attempt will be even more difficult. The Primordial Nascent Soul Pill will lose its effect, and the power of the Nascent Spirit Pill will also be halved. By then, trying to form a nascent soul will be as difficult as ascending to heaven."

Song Wen coldly said, "The matter of forming a nascent soul is my own decision. There's no need for you to worry about it."

Zhu Yin's lips curled into a meaningful smile.

"What if I can help you raise the chance of success in forming a nascent soul to over six-tenths?"

Song Wen's heart stirred. "What do you mean by that?"

"If you're willing to give me your Nascent Spirit Pill, I can use it to break through to the Nascent Soul realm. Once I reach Nascent Soul, we can cultivate together. You'll be able to absorb my Origin Yin. With my Nascent Soul's abundant Origin Yin and a Primordial Nascent Soul Pill, you'll have at least a sixty percent chance of successfully forming a nascent soul," Zhu Yin explained.

At this moment, Song Wen finally understood Zhu Yin's scheme.

With her cultivation level, if forced to cultivate with Yin Shuo, Yin Shuo would surely try to absorb her Origin Yin to break through the bottleneck of the late Nascent Soul stage.

At that time, Zhu Yin's life would be in danger.

However, cultivating with Song Wen was a completely different situation.

Once she forms a Nascent Soul, her cultivation would surpass Song Wen's, and during joint cultivation, she could take the lead.

Although her Origin Yin would be partially absorbed by Song Wen, it would not endanger her life. Moreover, by cultivating together, she could gain Song Wen's Origin Yang. The Yin-Yang harmony would instead help her improve her cultivation.

What was even more important was that she harbored an irreconcilable grudge against Yin Shuo, so how could she be content to be Yin Shuo's furnace?

"How do you feel about this, friend?" Zhu Yin asked.

Song Wen shook his head. "Your words sound beautiful, but if you succeed in forming a nascent soul, would you really be willing to cultivate with me?"

"I can swear on my soul that as long as I can form a nascent soul successfully, I will cooperate with you in dual cultivation."

After Zhu Yin spoke, she tossed out a jade slip.

"This jade slip contains the 'Yin-Yang Harmony Technique,' a genuine Daoist dual cultivation secret art. When a man and a woman practice it together, this technique allows them to mutually benefit without one treating the other as a furnace."

After Song Wen examined the technique in the jade slip, he spoke.

"You've made thorough preparations. The dual cultivation technique is already in place. However, if you wish to form a nascent soul, there is still one problem."

"What problem?" Zhu Yin asked, confused.

"Breaking through the Nascent Soul stage is not something that can be done in a day. It may take ten years at the shortest, or even twenty years. With such a long period, if you stay in the same place for seclusion and cultivation, Yin Shuo will definitely have suspicions. If he comes looking for you, how will you deal with it?" Song Wen said.
