Chapter 1404

As Alex started collecting the Yin Qi, the coldness in the room lowered a lot and the ice around the bed and floor started melting, turning back to water that dampened the floorboard even more.

This had happened before when the talisman could no longer maintain the girl’s Yin and had to be replaced, and it was the first time the father was seeing anything remotely close to that without any talisman.

He could tell that whatever Alex was doing, even if it wasn’t working, was definitely producing a positive result.

He moved backward, pulling the young man with him as they went all the way back to stand by the wall, leaving Alex a larger working space in the room.

Alex continued absorbing Yin through the girl, pulling what he could from her wrist that he clutched tightly. When he felt the flow of Yin slow down, he looked to see if Yin had run out or something.

It was too fast for that to happen, but he still wondered. After checking with his spiritual sense, he could tell that it was only her arm that he had managed to remove the Yin Qi from, and even that was slowly filling up.

Alex grabbed her other arm as well and started absorbing the Yin Qi from that arm as well. The Yin started flowing back as fast as it did at the start again, and his Undying physique improved a lot more.

This was most definitely more beneficial to him than over 50 days of normal cultivating, he reckoned as he continued absorbing the Yin Qi.

Once the speed from both arms slowed down, Alex realized that he had to absorb it from everywhere. However, he didn’t want to do that. There was little point in going around the limbs, collecting Yin, only for them to be filled again.

It could be done surely, but that would take way too long, especially if the girl was capable of generating more Yin Qi somehow.

Instead, Alex decided to go straight for the source.

He left the girl’s two hands and moved toward her dantian where the source of all Qi was most definitely going to be. He placed his two palms on top of it and started absorbing the Yin Qi.

At first, the rate at which he absorbed increased from before again as he was directly touching the dantian. But aside from that, nothing much happened.

However a minute or two after he started pulling in the Yin Qi, something happened. The Yin Qi that he was absorbing seemed to suddenly change.

What he absorbed next was something else. Something cold, something dark. What Alex absorbed was still Yin Qi, but it was a grade entirely different from what he was so used to.

The coldness that permeated through his body was too much for even the Undying physique technique to completely absorb. When the remaining Qi flowed through his body back to his Dantian, he felt a connection form between the girl and himself.

The connection… he had felt it before. It was so long ago that he had even forgotten it had happened, but it happening again reminded him of the day he returned back to the Hong Wu sect to find his master unconscious.

There he had absorbed Yang Qi from her to save her, and in doing so, once all the Yang Qi was gone, he had absorbed her Yin Qi.

That was when he had first felt the connection he was currently feeling. That time, the connection had been so short that he didn’t even know what he felt exactly. 

But now, he could sense it completely. 

There was a connection between him and this girl. Not one that was recent, but one from a long time ago. The connection felt archaic, melancholic even.

And what terrified Alex the most was that the connection wasn’t even between him and the girl. It was between his body and her body. It was a connection as old as time itself.

Understanding that, a single thought came to Alex’s mind.

‘Moon Goddess!’  I think you should take a look at

He felt shocked and surprised and stopped the Undying technique out of pure instinct. However, the Yin didn’t stop flowing into him.

He was confused for a moment as to what was happening, but then he realized that he had woken something that had until now remained in slumber.

The Yin bead in his dantian rejoiced as it devoured the Yin that flowed into Alex’s body. It had come alive when it first tasted the Yin Qi that made it into his dantian, and now it hungered for more.

Using their connection as a pathway, it dragged Yin Qi out of the girl’s body, which she had no control over.

Alex thought of moving away from the girl, but he stopped himself from doing so. If the Yin bead was taking away her Yin, then it was the best way to treat her Yin problem.

So, he stayed where he was, letting it absorb all the yin from her. As if it had been holding back until now, after Alex’s permission to absorb, it pulled Yin even faster from her body.

The deep connection he felt with her continued, even going so far as to give him a false sense of attraction toward the girl. He shook his head, getting the annoying thoughts out of himself while trying to not give in to them.

The few minutes that followed felt like torture as the connection seemed to want one and only one thing. It wanted the two of them to get together.

But Alex persisted. He focused on what he felt was more important in this scenario. If what he guessed wasn’t wrong, then this girl had the Moon Goddess’s body. If the connection he felt was anything to go by and what he realized was true, then that could only mean one thing.

Ma Rong had the Moon Goddess’s body as well.

His master had one of the greatest physical constitutions any person could have had, and they had all thought it was a simple ‘Yin body constitution’.

Not that anyone knew who the Moon Goddess even was to give her body the correct name it deserved.

Alex’s mind was in disarray as he tried to figure out just what it meant for this girl to have the same body as his master’s.

She was only 25 years old, which meant she was born years after his master had died.  Was it just a case of someone being born with the same body as someone else… 

Or was it something more?

Bai Jingshen had revealed to him long ago that reincarnation was a real thing that he had learned from his own master.

That made Alex wonder. Was this the same thing?

Before he could come up with an answer, the supply of Yin coming from the girl suddenly cut off and the Yin bead stopped pulling anymore.

All the Yin in the girl’s body had been taken away and what was left was a girl without any of it.

Alex lifted his hand finally as the connection between them disappeared. When it did, Alex felt something else happen inside him.

His body turned cold from the inside and within moments Alex realized what had happened. 

The Yin bead was now stronger than before, and as such, the Yin and Yang in his dantian had a sudden imbalance.
