Chapter 33: The Soul of Truth
"I'm too big, hurry up and give me back that egg, I need spiritual power to evolve. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
"Spiritual power, you need spiritual power, right?" Murong Lan took out two spiritual condensation pills from his belt, "How about this?"
"Huh~" The mass of 'things' suddenly bounced up, wrapped the two pills, and followed by the sound of "Haw, Haw".
"Hey, hey. Murong Lan watched the other party eating the pill, not only did he not feel distressed, but laughed, "How is it?
"Delicious. β
"Here!" Murong Lan took out two more Spirit Condensation Pills.
The 'thing' was that the one who came did not refuse, and swallowed the two pills cleanly.
"Don't worry, I still have it. "Murong Lan fed the Spirit Condensation Pill to that strange 'thing' one by one. I ate more than 40 pills in a row and didn't see him 'full', "You haven't eaten enough yet, have you eaten more than 40 pills." β
"Not enough. The other party was unceremonious.
"Give it, give it all to you. Murong Lan threw out the pill like a scattered flower like a lost temper, and even the healing pill was contained in it.
"Huh!" the speed of the 'thing' skyrocketed, and not a single one of them fell, and all of them were swallowed. If you don't take time to make tea, you can digest it all.
"Have you eaten enough this time?" Murong Lan asked with a smile, if someone saw this smile, their first reaction would be treacherous.
"Well, it was a good meal. β
"Then follow me to have these things to eat, do you agree?" Murong Lan then asked.
"Agreed, agreed, a hundred agreed. The 'thing' replied happily.
"Then do you agree with what I said?" Murong Lan smiled even more, and took out a few more pieces of stock.
"Identify, identify. β
"Gotcha. Murong Lan patted her thigh and said happily.
"Young Master, what are you happy about?" Xue Lan asked in surprise.
"This guy is our little minion now, hahaha. After Murong Lan finished speaking, she laughed proudly.
"Huh?" the 'thing' also stopped devouring.
"Don't you feel anything wrong with your body now?" Murong Lan squinted at the mass of 'things', "Feel it carefully." β
"What is this? How do I have this in my body?" the mass of 'thing' suddenly swelled up, as if to express its anger.
"Do you think those pills are for you to eat?" the corners of Murong Lan's mouth curled, "You agreed to the question I just asked?"
"You!"
"You have to listen to me now, or you can see what the consequences will be. The more Murong Lan spoke, the more powerful he felt, "I used the contract of the Wu Clan. β
"Young Master, did you engrave the contract on the pill?" Xue Lan thought of the problem in an instant.
"Hahaha, of course, my two questions later were to inspire this contract. Murong Lan then asked the 'thing', "I'm asking you now, what are you?"
"I, I, no, I am. "That 'thing' forced itself not to answer, but it was difficult to compete with the contract at all, "I am the second of the ten divine insects - the Soul Worm. It's not a creature of your continent, and I don't know how I got to your continent. β
"Then what is this egg?" Murong Lan took the egg.
"This is a basalt egg. The Soul Worm said.
"Xuanwu?" Xuelan suddenly asked in surprise, "Xuanwu is a giant witch guarding the underworld, how did he become an egg?"
"Xuelan, do you know Xuanwu?" asked Murong Lan.
"Of course, earlier there was a netherworld in our continent, where there lived a netherworld, and the giant witch Xuanwu was the patriarch of that clan; when Xuanwu first began to cultivate, he worked very hard, to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat, so that Xuanwu's stomach and intestines fought because of hunger, and Xuanwu did not listen to each other's persuasions, and finally Xuanwu expelled them from the body; after cultivation, the stomach and intestines became the two generals of the turtle and snake, and it was with the help of the two generals of the turtle and snake that Xuanwu's strength increased greatly, so he became the patriarch and became a giant witch in the future. β
"That's what Xuanwu is all about. After hearing this, Murong Lan said, "But why is this Xuanwu an egg again?"
"I can explain that," the Soul Worm interjected. The winged man wanted to occupy the underworld, so he killed Xuanwu; before he died, Xuanwu transferred the power of his body to the two turtle and snake generals, and the turtle and snake evolved into a divine beast, and since then the world has called this divine beast by Xuanwu; in the end, Xuanwu was seriously injured when fighting with those who had wings, and had to shrink himself into an egg; the defense of the egg is extremely strong, and the winged person really has no choice but to seal the egg in the stone, and I, they have nothing to do with me, but I have the ability to devour it, so they put me in the stone, and use me to slowly absorb the power of Xuanwu to prevent Xuanwu from resurrectionγ β
"You'll have to call me master from now on. Murong Lan said in a deep voice.
"Why, you designed to deceive me!" said the Soul Worm angrily.
"Then let me ask you, why do you devour so much spiritual power?"
"I need a lot of spiritual power to evolve, and in the past, I only survived by absorbing the spiritual power gathered by Xuanwu. The Soul Worm said.
"Okay, I can give you a lot of pills, every day. How about it, it's not an exaggeration to call me master, right?" Murong Lan said temptingly.
"......" Soul Worm was silent.
"You think slowly, I'll take a look at this Xuanwu first. Murong Lan threw the Soul Worm aside and picked up the Xuanwu egg, "Who of you knows how to make Xuanwu grow?"
"I don't know, the Xuanwu I know is not like this. Xuelan replied.
"All right, I will call you master, but you must be like a master, and give me food every day. The Soul Worm said aloud.
"So what can you do for me?"
"I can tell you how to hatch Xuanwu. The Soul Worm said.
"Then you say. Murong Lan took out a few medicinal herbs containing a large amount of spiritual power from the Qiankun bag.
"You can use your blood to nourish Xuanwu, not much, just three drops a day, and it would be better if you could use your divine sense for half an hour a day. β
"Is that okay?" asked Murong Lan.
"Yes, after Xuanwu hatches out, he will directly recognize you as the master, isn't it just with your mind. β
"Okay, you can go and eat it, and I'll refine the pill for you tomorrow." After speaking, Murong Lan dropped three drops of blood on the Xuanwu egg as the Soul Worm said, and then his divine sense wrapped the Xuanwu egg and warmed it over and over again.
Since he has the Soul Worm and Xuanwu, Murong Lan has some more tasks every day - alchemy, warm and nourish Xuanwu. However, this soul worm is really a big stomach, and eating pills is the same as eating jelly beans. And since the end of Murong Lan's retreat, Murong De and Mu Lixian laughed when they saw Murong Lan, because Murong Lan hung a big egg around his waist every day, and the big egg dangled when he walked, which was extremely funny;
Spring looks like it's over in half a month?, and three more blood guards have returned during this time, which makes the Murong family very happy. The family has finally built almost, and the rest are only small projects, and many of them are landscape, in this regard, the Murong family gave Xi Xiangnan complete autonomy, which also made him very comfortable.
"After a great disaster, our family was finally rebuilt on this sea, which is not easy. Murong Sheng presided over the family meeting.
"I was able to build a home so quickly, and my brother-in-law made a great contribution. Murong Lan said.
"Hey~ I also want to thank you kid, I haven't done such a comfortable job, I don't even have a request, hahaha. Xi Xiangnan said with a laugh.
"Let's not talk about this, let's talk about what to do in the future, Lan'er, this family depends on you, what do you say." Murong Sheng said.
"Well~ Third uncle, if you let me say it, then I'll talk about it. Murong Lan thought for a while, and Zhengse said, "Right now, our family should keep a low profile, vigorously develop farming, first ensure our self-sufficiency, and then develop the economy; β
"Fifth brother, what are you talking about, if it weren't for me, your eyes would ......," Murong Yue said.
"Alas~ Sister, don't talk about this. Now there are only the third brother and the sixth brother left in the family, you had better get married as soon as possible, the more heirs, the better. Murong Lan interrupted Murong Yue's words and continued.
"Why are you just the two of us?" Murong Yu interjected.
"I'll talk about it later, now the third uncle in the family is the largest, and the patriarch will be the third uncle, and then the next generation will be cultivated, when it comes to the next generation, my two children will ask the third uncle, I have already taught the cultivation exercises of these two children, and what I need is some resources. After Murong Lan finished speaking, he waved at the two children and motioned for them to come over, "You will be surnamed Murong in the future, are you willing?"
"Yes!" the two sons of Yin and Yang immediately knelt down and said yes.
"Okay, you two sit behind me, this is also the rule of our family, and you will be my people in the future. Murong Lan pointed to the chair behind him and said.
"Third uncle, you can also find another woman, don't refuse, it's all for the family. Murong Lan said with a serious face, "Next, let me talk about the rest of the family, Ji Dong, you will be the great elder of my Murong family in the future, are you willing?"
"Everything is arranged by the host. Ji Dong got up and saluted.
"Okay, that's it. Others should also communicate more with the people of the Yin-Yang Gate and learn from each other's strengths. There is also Brother Pang, you are the same, those children also have to follow them for cultivation. β
"Listen to you, brother. Brother Pang said.
"Well, that's all there is to it at home. I said to myself: I plan to look for my family again, in case there is still someone on the sea, Xiao Tear, you go with me, and when I find my family, I will go back to the mainland. β
