Chapter 259: Strange Eggs
Speaking of which, Qin Ning'er's relationship with the Nine Elders was also quite strange.
Originally, according to the convention, it should be the apprentice's daily respectful and respectful greeting to the master, and then when the master is in the mood, he will pass on some unique knowledge to the apprentice.
This is a normal master-apprentice relationship, but the master-apprentice relationship between Qin Ning'er and the Ninth Elder is obviously different, and it is completely reversed.
The reason is because Qin Ning'er is too lazy, so lazy that even if the Ninth Elder wants to teach her knowledge, she is not willing to learn at all, since the beginning of school, this little girl has been fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, thinking about going out to play all day long, or hiding in the small villa to sleep.
With such a lazy person on the stall, what could the Nine Elders do? He was also desperate!
I wanted to find a closed disciple to inherit my metaphysical heritage, but I didn't expect that in the end, I found a little ancestor to come back, beat her, I was reluctant, scolded her, and it was useless, this girl's lesson to him has always been the left ear in the right ear and out.
There is no way, the apprentice is lazy and does not come to learn, so the Ninth Elder can only run to Qin Ning'er every other day and personally come to the door to preach and teach.
When this news spread, many people were stunned for a while, and Elder Nine became a joke among many elders, on the contrary, Qin Ning'er became a legend among the disciples of the academy.
It's a miracle that an apprentice can be her son.
It is precisely because of this that Qin Ning'er's status in the formal area is now rising gradually, and she is a proper figure of the hour, and her cheap master Ye Yi can be said to be on a par with her.
Not to mention that the Xuanhuang rank disciples on the periphery didn't dare to provoke Qin Ning'er, even the disciples of the Second Heaven and Earth Academy in the inner periphery were afraid of her.
People who have never seen Ye Yi may not be easy to recognize Ye Yi, because Ye Yi seems to have no characteristics except for being sunny and handsome.
There is nothing else in the academy, there must be a lot of handsome guys, and Ye Yi's recognition is not high.
Qin Ning'er is different, her recognition is high, it is nothing that she looks petite and beautiful, the key is temperament, like a child who does not grow up, she likes to make noise, and her words and actions are not very serious.
What's more, there are often two pets around her, a rabbit and a wolf, the rabbit is a giant cute rabbit, and the recognition is off the charts, and the entire Qingluo Academy will never find a second rabbit that is so huge and so cute.
As for the Erha wolf, its stupid appearance is one of its characteristics, and the most important feature is that it can learn to bark as a dog, which is a typical wolf.
Based on these points, Qin Ning'er is almost well-known in Qingluo Academy, even if she hasn't seen her, with many characteristics, she can be recognized nine times out of ten.
............
Since the beginning of school, half a month has passed unconsciously, and the January Heavenly Spirit Fantasy Land has opened again.
Little Fat Man, Ye Xiaoling, and Chu Xiaokite all went, but they heard that the effect of this quenching baptism was not as good as before.
The concentration of the Phantom Lake Storm has been greatly reduced, and the Soul Gathering Realm Xuan Cultivation is okay, their cultivation is shallow, and the concentration of the essence essence that they can withstand is not high, even if the concentration of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Force that erupted from the Phantom Lake Storm is reduced, it will not have much impact on them.
The most affected were the Heavenly Rank disciples, they were all in the Harmony Realm, the concentration of Heaven and Earth Yuan Force had been greatly reduced, and the effect of their body quenching baptism had been reduced by several percent, which made them worry.
Except for the dean, not many people know about the theft of the Phantom Lake, and even the dean has not been able to find out who stole the Phantom Lake water, so far it has become a strange unsolved mystery and has been sealed in the file of Qingluo Academy.
When he came back from annual leave, Ye Yi was already at the peak of the fifth level of the Soul Gathering Realm, and now after half a month, he was refining the pill while using the water of the Phantom Lake Lake to cultivate, and his entry into the realm was amazing, and he soon broke through to the sixth level of the Soul Gathering Realm.
Half a month has passed, but Xixi still hasn't woken up, and there are still three or four days before the two-month sleep period, and I don't know if she can wake up by then.
Although he was beaten all the time when this female tyrant was there, he hadn't seen her for a long time, and Ye Yi really missed her a little strangely.
In the previous trip to the Heavenly Spirit Fantasy Realm, the things he got belonged to treasures, even the tattered frog dragon scale armor picked up by Ye Yi was also a kind of heavenly treasure, which he gave to the little fat man as a refining material.
Only the big egg was useless, he had rummaged through the relevant mystery beast books before, this egg was very similar to the dragon egg or the snake egg, from the appearance, it was basically determined to be a Jiao egg.
It's just that this big egg is so weird that even Xixi's Yuan Shen Mental Power can't penetrate the eggshell, and even the spiritual eye can't observe the specific life inside the egg.
It's been more than a month since he got it, Ye Yi tried many ways but couldn't hatch the egg, he even thought about boiling the egg and eating it, but he tried to knock it with a spirit weapon a few times, but he couldn't break the eggshell, and finally he had to give up and put the strange egg thing aside.
Now that he has practiced hard for half of the elixir, he has finally officially stepped into the fourth-order alchemist, and the occult medicine technique has also entered the fourth-order ranks, and the tense spirit has relaxed, and Ye Yi, who has nothing to do, took out the strange egg again and studied it.
After a whole day of research, he didn't have any clues.
Ye Yi tried boiling it with water, and even burned it with Xiao Xixi's spiritual fire, but it didn't work, and even he thought about letting Xiao Xixi borrow Xixi's seven-colored divine fire to come out and burn it.
But thinking about it, I still didn't do it, because this strange egg looks really special, and if the little life inside is alive, it will definitely not be a mortal creature when it hatches.
There was no way, Ye Yi couldn't study it, so he could only take advantage of the time when the Ninth Elder went to teach Qin Ning'er a lesson, and ran over to ask for advice.
Before, he had already knocked on the side of the Nine Elders and the Thirteenth Elders, and finally learned that the Phantom Lake was an absolutely forbidden place, and even the elders were not allowed to go down to the lake to investigate, for fear of disturbing the sleeping of the Dragon Ao Holy Beast.
Every month, taking water and catching fish is carried out on the shore of the lake, and it was the beginning of the month, and the surging degree of heaven and earth yuan power in the phantom lake was very low, so it was much more convenient to take water or catch phantom fish.
Therefore, the elders of the academy and even the dean didn't know what was under the illusory lake, they didn't know that there was a cave under the lake, they didn't know that there was an eighth-order giant frog dragon in the cave, and they didn't know that there was a dragon egg inside.
Therefore, when dictation couldn't solve the problem, Ye Yi mysteriously took out the strange egg.
"Huh, Master, is this what you call the dragon egg?"
Qin Ning'er was also present, and after seeing it, she immediately snatched the big egg in Master Ye Yi's hand, looked up and down for a while, but she didn't see anything, she couldn't help muttering: "Master, are you sure this is an egg? It won't be a stone? Why can't I feel the breath of life in the egg?"
"Of course, it's a real egg, and if you can't feel the breath of life, it can only mean that you are not capable enough. ”
Ye Yi reached out and tapped her on the head, then snatched the big egg back, handed it to the Ninth Elder, and asked him to help take a look.
The Ninth Elder took it casually, looked at it carefully, and his brows suddenly wrinkled, holding the strange egg in one hand and touching his white beard with the other, and fell into deep thought.
For a long time, looking at the expression of the Ninth Elder who wanted to speak and stopped, Ye Yi felt very strange, and couldn't help but say, "Ninth Elder, what do you have to say, but please tell me directly, what the hell is going on with this egg?"
The Ninth Elder groaned and said, "This egg looks like it is indeed a Jiao egg from the outside lines, even if it is not a Jiaolong egg, it is also a Jiao Snake egg, the level is not low, it should be a seventh-order divine beast egg." ”
"Beast eggs, I'll take a look!"
Qin Ning'er's interest came again, she jumped up, and wanted to snatch the big egg over and take a look, but Ye Yi directly sat back with her head on her head, which made her puff out her mouth angrily and glared at him angrily.
The Ninth Elder hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Boy Ye, how did you tell that this is a live egg?" I haven't been able to see any vitality fluctuations in this egg after looking at it for a long time, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be a dead egg!"
"Is this a dead egg?"
Ye Yi was a little surprised, his brows furrowed slightly, he didn't know, was it because the Nine Elders' cultivation was not enough to spy on the life qi in the egg?
After all, Danyan Xixi also looked at it for a while before he saw that this egg was alive, although the Nine Elders were masters of the Xuan Beast Department, but after all, they only cultivated to the Tianyuan Realm, so it was not surprising that they couldn't see it.
Of course, there is also a possibility that this egg was indeed alive when it was in the Phantom Lake, but now nearly two months have passed, and it just so happens that it is completely dead during this time.
There are both possibilities, and Ye Yi is not sure which one it is.
"Ha, bad master, you see, I'm not wrong! Even the ninth master said that this is a dead egg. Qin Ning'er on the side laughed triumphantly.
"Girl, I didn't treat you like a dumb person if I didn't speak!"
Raising his hand was a critical blow sent out, Ye Yi slowly withdrew his hand and asked, "Ninth Elder, are you sure this is a dead egg? ”
When the Ninth Elder heard this, he was also a little unsure, looked at it carefully, and finally shook his head and said: "Old Dao can't be sure, the eggshell of this egg is very strange, and my Yuan Soul Power can't penetrate it at all, I can only judge from the color and texture that it is a dead egg." ”
Seeing this, Ye Yi also felt a little discouraged, thinking in his heart, if he didn't go back, he would let Xiao Xixi borrow Xixi's seven-colored divine fire to come out and bake this egg, maybe it could still be eaten.
It's just that, after thinking about it, he still didn't give up, and asked again: "Ninth Elder, if this egg is alive, is there any way to make it continue to grow and even hatch?"
"This!"
The Nine Elders frowned and thought for a while, and said slowly: "Generally speaking, the eggs of snake beasts are automatically hatched, and they do not need the assistance of the parent beast or the mother beast to incubate, and this kind of divine beast eggs should be even more so, but there are exceptions. ”
"For example, the beast egg made a mistake when it was conceived, resulting in incomplete gestation, and the egg lacked some key life essences, and finally after it was laid, the beast egg could not hatch on its own, and the life development would be stagnant at a certain node, requiring the assisted incubation of the father or mother. ”
"Assisted incubation, what kind of assisted incubation method?" Ye Yi continued to ask.
"It is that the father beast or the mother beast will transfer the original essence in its own body into the egg according to the development of the egg, so as to supplement the key life essence required for the development of life in the egg of the divine beast. The Nine Elders said.
Ye Yi suddenly said, "In this way, if this egg is alive, the reason why it can't hatch automatically is because it lacks some kind of key life essence?
The Ninth Elder nodded and said: "Theoretically, this is indeed the case, but this strange egg of yours is too special, and it is unknown whether it is a living egg or a dead egg, and the old Taoist estimates that even the Yuan Shen Mental Power of Grandmaster Xuan Xiu may not be able to penetrate that strange eggshell, and it is not clear what it lacks at all." ”
"As for what you said, if it's a live egg, find a father or mother beast to hatch it, it's not impossible"
"It's just that this is a divine beast egg, and most of the life essence elements needed belong to the life essence of the god level, that is to say, the father beast and mother beast you find to assist in hatching must be a seventh-order divine beast, and it must also be a snake-like divine beast of the same origin. ”
