The villain daughter did all kinds of things

She got stuck at the very first step, feeling like a skilled cook couldn't make a meal without ingredients.

She has no spiritual power.

Although both spiritual power and magical power are essentially miraculous forces in this world, different understandings lead to significant differences in their characteristics.

The most fundamental aspect of the Netherworld Soul Technique is to perceive the world from the perspective of spiritual power, something that Emerald cannot do... unless she is willing to shatter her previous understanding of the world and abandon all her magical cultivation to start over, but that is clearly even more impossible.

"...As expected, it's impossible to repair things together... Come to think of it, Grandma and Aunt in Red have known each other for so long, if it were really possible, they would have tried it already."

Muttering to herself, Emery was slightly disappointed, but she didn't change her mind.

If she can't master the "Netherworld Soul Technique," then she won't practice it. However, Amelie still plans to find a way to understand the "Netherworld Soul Technique," to refer to the application techniques of abilities in Eastern martial arts, and then to find a way to integrate it with her own magic to develop new skills.

Learning from others' experiences can be beneficial; there's never a bad thing to learn more.

The question is, how can one understand the "Netherworld Soul Technique" without spiritual power?

Amelie thought the Red Robe should have a solution, but who knows where the Red Robe and the old lich are having their secret rendezvous... Even if she knew, she wouldn't dare to disturb them.

Why don't we go ask Ji Xinyu?

After all, Ji Xinyu has been following Hongyi in her cultivation for so many years, so she definitely has no problem asking her some of the most basic introductory questions.

Moreover, Emerald is quite curious about many aspects of Himeko herself. Even if asking her doesn't solve the problem, they can still talk about other things to satisfy their curiosity.

Without hesitation, Amelie got out of bed immediately, wearing slippers and without even changing out of her new dress, and went to knock on Ji Xinyu's door in her nightgown and black stockings.

"You really came, senior sister~~"

As soon as Ji Xinyu opened the door, she looked alluring. She was only wearing a silk bodice, and there were still water droplets and fragrance in her hair, as if she had just taken a bath.

"Let's play then~~"

Ji Xinyu grabbed Amelie's arm and dragged her onto the bed:

"Anyway, Master and Mistress are definitely being affectionate right now, so we can't just stand by. Senior and junior sisters should be as close as Daoist couples, right?"

"You're right, junior sister~~"

Amelie didn't refuse Ji Xinyu's advances, but when Ji Xinyu tried to kiss her, she raised a finger to cover her mouth and chuckled:

"Don't rush, junior sister... I just took a look at the 'Netherworld Soul Technique' and I have a lot of questions. Would you be willing to help me, junior sister?"

"……What?"

Ji Xinyu said in disbelief:

"With an invitation from such a beautiful woman as this princess, how can you still be focused on cultivation, Senior Sister? How can you be so stubborn? You really want to be Senior Sister that much? Why don't you let me be Senior Sister for a year next year?"

That's what she said, but Ji Xinyu quickly expressed her curiosity again:

"Senior sister, what troubles did you encounter when you were trying to comprehend the 'Netherworld Soul Technique'? You can tell me first so I can help you think of a solution. If I can't help you either, we can ask Master together tomorrow."

"Hmm...that's how it is."

After thinking for a moment, Amelie didn't hide anything and told Ji Xinyu about the problems she was currently facing and her plans.

"Without spiritual power, you can't even do the most basic comprehension? But you really want to learn about the 'Netherworld Soul Technique' to improve your magic... Hmm."

Ji Xinyu tilted her head and thought for a while before saying uncertainly:

"I don't know if it will be useful for you to just read about the Netherworld Soul Technique without practicing it, but if you just want to experience the Netherworld Soul Technique, I do have a way."

"any solution?"

"Amelie asked quickly."

"I'll show you, Senior Sister."

Ji Xinyu suddenly smiled meaningfully:

"This is actually a common method used by us Eastern cultivators to help our disciples get started. I will inject spiritual energy into Senior Sister's body and control the spiritual energy to circulate within her body, so that you can experience the feeling of cultivation without actually practicing. Then, with the jade tablet that Master gave you, you might be able to achieve your goal—to understand the various techniques and operating principles of the Netherworld Soul Technique without actually practicing it."

"Alright, junior sister, come quickly... is there anything I can do for you?"

Amelie readily agreed.

Of course she saw Ji Xinyu's ulterior motives in her smile, but so what?

Given the relationship between the old lich and the woman in red, Ji Xinyu certainly wouldn't dare to cheat her too badly; at most, she would just try to take advantage of her and play with her body.

If she could truly learn the knowledge from the Netherworld Soul Technique, it wouldn't matter at all. After all, Ji Xinyu herself was a great beauty, so it wouldn't be a loss for her.

Moreover, Amelie couldn't possibly keep studying the "Netherworld Soul Technique" forever. When she no longer needed Ji Xinyu's help in learning, she could easily take back what she had gained from Ji Xinyu.

As expected, after Emily agreed, Ji Xinyu excitedly hugged Emily from behind, their chests pressed together, her arms around Emily's stomach, and her mouth close to Emily's ear:

"Hoo hoo... What you need to do, senior sister, is very simple. Whatever I do next, you have to cooperate with me, okay?"

"can."

Emery readily agreed, then chuckled softly:

"Then start helping me with my studies, junior sister."

"it is good."

Ji Xinyu readily agreed, even impatiently.

The hand she placed on Amelie's stomach immediately began to inject a warm fire-attribute spiritual energy into Amelie's body, and she manipulated that spiritual energy to circulate through Amelie's meridians, forming a complete cycle.

"Hmm?~~"

Amelie couldn't help but let out a soft moan. This junior sister was indeed up to no good. Although the flow of fire-attribute spiritual energy was very comfortable, it always seemed to want to set her on fire.

Fortunately, Amelie wasn't afraid of this. She immediately began meditating in the manner of a magician, while once again using her magical perception to connect with the jade piece given to her by the woman in red.

Sure enough, once spiritual energy began circulating within her body... regardless of whether this spiritual energy was her own, Amelie felt a completely different way when she looked at "The Netherworld Soul Decision" after having spiritual energy.

Amelie began to understand those sentences that were previously obscure and difficult to comprehend, and she even understood how to control her own spiritual energy to cultivate.

Unfortunately, the spiritual power within Amelie's body did not belong to her, so this information was of little use to her. She quickly browsed through it, looking for explanations of some principles and instructions on techniques within the cultivation method.

Soon, Emery found what she wanted, and there was an unexpected surprise.

The jade piece given by the woman in red is likely a powerful teaching artifact. It can not only be used to comprehend techniques in the consciousness space, but also to experience and practice moves.

The feeling is like a mage playing a warrior class in an immersive VR game. Although the mage can't learn the warrior skills in the game in real life, some of the ideas and combos of the warrior skills can inspire the mage's combat thinking, allowing the mage to develop new fighting styles and tactics.

Amelie is like that now. She has only experienced a few moves in "The Netherworld Soul Technique" and feels that she has gained a lot, especially the use of the invisible ribbon.

Originally, Ameliete had never thought that the invisible ribbon was actually a special kind of soul entity. Now that she had realized this and come into contact with the "Netherworld Soul Technique", she felt her inspiration explode, and all sorts of new ways to use abilities and even ideas for creating new spells kept flowing out.

Naturally, Emery was immediately immersed in the joy of learning and becoming stronger, temporarily ignoring everything happening in the outside world.

In reality, outside of consciousness, Emery was clearly leaning against Ji Xinyu's chest, but her breathing was steady and her face was normal, as if she were fast asleep, without any of the reactions that Ji Xinyu expected.

"...No way? Senior Sister, you've really gotten into the cultivation? Are you really going to keep me on my toes like this?"

Ji Xinyu was first stunned, and then considered whether to stop injecting spiritual power into Amelie's body and keep it running.

But soon, Amelie's completely unresisting, sleep-like appearance made Ji Xinyu swallow hard and her breathing become increasingly heavy.

"Fine... Senior sister, just keep practicing... Even if you can keep beating me and become my senior sister, so what? Right now, I can still do whatever I want, right? *slurp*"

Muttering to herself, Ji Xinyu quickly came to terms with it, realizing she had made a huge profit this time.

"Hehe... Since you're so generous, Senior Sister, then I won't stand on ceremony... Consider it tuition for helping you with your cultivation... Here I come!"

"..."

Amélie, who was happily absorbing new knowledge in her conscious world, suddenly paused. She couldn't possibly have been unaware of the intense events happening outside.

But she only paused for a moment before continuing her cultivation.

Ji Xinyu is clearly a scumbag, and it's hard to say how long her interest in Amelite's body will last... So until then, Amelite will have to use her to help herself become stronger.

That night, both of them got what they wanted and were very satisfied.

Chapter 263 Harvest and Preparation Complete

The woman in red is absolutely a genius, a super genius.

This is Emery's heartfelt sentiment after briefly skimming through "The Soul of the Underworld".

If the woman in red were placed on Earth, the planet Amelie's previous life, she might actually be able to use digital technology to create an AI that truly possesses a soul.

"The Soul Manual of the Netherworld" is a summary of the red-clothed woman's lifelong insights into the way of the soul.

In her view, the soul of life can be broken down into a basic unit, which can be roughly divided into eight different types, which she calls soul symbols.

The characteristics of each soul are determined by different arrangements and combinations of soul symbols, just as different codes can give a program different functions.

If you can analyze the arrangement of the target's soul runes, you can obtain almost all the secrets of that soul. And if you can further modify the arrangement of the target's soul runes, then the target's soul will become a plaything in your hands.

The reason why human nature is called nature is because the arrangement of their soul symbols is fixed at birth, so it is difficult for their personality to change much throughout their lives.

Some spiritual schools claim that self-cultivation can change one's personality, and this practice is indeed effective. This behavior is somewhat similar to how humans train AI.

Of course, even the woman in red cannot arbitrarily modify other people's soul talismans. She can only exert a targeted influence on the soul in a way similar to hypnosis, or completely tear the target's soul apart by destroying the arrangement and combination of soul talismans.

The move "Netherworld Soul-Seizing Claw" that Ji Xinyu used in her competition with Amelie is designed to disrupt the arrangement and combination of soul runes. It is extremely lethal to any life form with a soul, and there are no particularly effective means of defense against it. One can only rely on recovery ability and resilience to withstand it.

There are many more powerful moves and spells in "The Netherworld Soul Technique", but unfortunately, Amelie cannot cultivate any of them, and she can't even understand most of them.

But that's okay. Emery started by looking at the simplest and most understandable moves. Since she couldn't practice the moves themselves, she analyzed the design concepts behind them and drew inspiration from them. She still gained a lot from it.

In short, that night, Amelie was engrossed in studying, while Ji Xinyu was captivated by Amelie's engrossed study.

When Emery finally returned to the real world, completely satisfied, it was already the next morning, almost noon.

She was prepared for Ji Xinyu to have played her to pieces, but she found that although her nightgown was disheveled, it was still quite intact and had not been torn to shreds as she had imagined.

...Is my junior sister really that reserved? That shouldn't be the case, right?

Amelie became curious and began searching for Ji Xinyu, and soon found her on the bed behind her.

Unlike the imposing and energetic female general she met last night, Ji Xinyu now had huge dark circles under her eyes and was panting constantly, looking as if she had been drained dry by a succubus, lying there motionless.

"Uh……"

Amelie, somewhat curious, reached out and pinched Ji Xinyu:

"Junior sister, what's wrong?"

"...Senior sister, how dare you ask that?"

Ji Xinyu rolled her eyes, but still briefly recounted what had happened before.

In short, Ji Xinyu was indeed possessed by a succubus, the succubus Emerald.

Last night, when Amelie was engrossed in her cultivation, Ji Xinyu was quite happy and took the opportunity to do many things to Amelie.

Normally, when studying a top-tier technique like the "Netherworld Soul Technique," one usually starts by reading the most basic content and only proceeds further once one has thoroughly understood it.

However, Amelie had no intention of actually cultivating the "Netherworld Soul Technique," so she didn't need to read it step by step. Instead, she skimmed through the entire manual.

Watching "The Soul of the Netherworld" requires spiritual power. The more profound the content, the more spiritual power is needed. However, Amelie herself does not have spiritual power and can only absorb it from the outside world.

As a result, Ji Xinyu was in trouble. She was enjoying herself with Amelie when, without any warning, she was bound by an invisible ribbon by the completely unconscious Amelie, causing her spiritual power to drain away like a flood.

Ji Xinyu initially considered struggling and resisting, but she immediately found it quite comfortable to have her spiritual energy absorbed by Amelie, so she began to enjoy it.

As a result, she became completely addicted to it. When Amelie finally finished her training and returned to reality, Ji Xinyu looked like she had been possessed by a succubus.

Fortunately, for cultivators at the third stage, the loss of magic power or spiritual power is not a significant problem. Just as fusion-stage mages have fusion organs that can generate magic power infinitely, enlightenment-stage cultivators also have a way to quickly restore their spiritual power; they only need to meditate for a short while.

After Ji Xinyu had almost recovered her nearly depleted spiritual power, Amelie went with her to see the old lich and the woman in red.

These two old guys clearly had a night of passion last night, and now they're both lounging around in the sun looking quite lazy.

Seeing that the woman in red and the old lich were in good spirits, Amelie didn't miss the opportunity. After politely greeting them, she brought up some questions she had about the book "The Soul of the Underworld" that she hadn't understood the night before and asked them for clarification.

The woman in red was naturally generous with her answers, though she was initially nonchalant. But she quickly became serious and even engaged in a profound discussion with Amelie, as if they were having a philosophical debate.

In the end, the way the woman in red looked at Amelie made Ji Xinyu a little jealous, and the woman in red, quite jealously, complained to the old lich:

"I'm increasingly determined to take your apprentice completely, Xiaoya."

The reason is simple: Emerald can use the relationship between computer code and programs from her previous life to help her understand the secrets of soul symbols and souls, and naturally she can also process the knowledge of code and programs and tell it to Red.

The saying "stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade" applies to the woman in red as well.

Red-clothed had never been exposed to technological civilization, but was very interested in theoretical knowledge about numbers and information, and grew to like Emeralt more and more.

Fortunately, Amelie's teacher, Granny Ya, was Red's partner. If it were anyone else, Red wouldn't be joking at this point; she would have actually killed her teacher and taken her away.
