Chapter 245: Seeking Eggs for Soul Transformation
Ah Jin was really disloyal. They were all friends, but when he ascended to heaven, he was able to remove the miasma from Wuyang's body, but he didn't treat Long Qi as well. It was really not nice of him! Now, he didn't even have the chance to complain to him.
He is now a true god! He went straight to the divine realm without looking back!
Not fair! Really not fair! She had planned for him before, but she didn't even say goodbye!
Unfeeling and ungrateful! Perfidious!
Lingxiang was sitting in the yard, tearing the wild flowers she had picked up, feeling bored, while she was criticizing Ajin in her heart.
Although Long Qi's injury looked serious, he was lucky to meet Cheng Xin Zhenren who came to look for him, so he escaped without any danger. The group was placed in a courtyard in Fufeng County, and Long Qi was taken away alone to get rid of the miasma.
Fufeng County is a small county in the southern part of Cangzhou. The forest where the water mirror is located is in an inconspicuous wilderness in Fufeng County, adjacent to Xiangcheng in the southeast.
Lingxiang never thought that the entrance to Yunmeng, which she had been looking for for a long time, was right where she passed by.
In fact, it's not her fault. The so-called inconspicuous does not mean that it is really unnoticeable. It should be that Yun Zhongjun used some kind of sleight of hand to prevent mortals from mistakenly entering the fairyland, so she didn't notice it before.
In addition to Lingxiang who was extremely angry about Ajin's departure, there was another person who also felt sympathetic. He was Xiaobai who came with Zhenren Chengxin.
Outsiders may find it strange. According to rumors, the Yuanqing Sect and the demons have a long-standing grudge and should be irreconcilable. But why is it that Zhenren Chengxin, who is an elder who teaches martial arts in the Yuanqing Sect, can travel the same path with Xiaobai, who is a demon, and they can even get along well with each other?
Otherwise, how can we say "Ten Thousand People, Ten Thousand Things"? Although the Yuanqing Sect suffered a heavy blow from the demons more than ten years ago, and the sect was extremely disgusted with the demons, Master Chengxin was different.
In the view of Master Chengxin, everything has a cause and everything has multiple sides. We should not focus on a temporary conflict and deny everything.
After spending some time with Xiao Bai, Cheng Xin Zhenren felt that this person was someone worth getting along with. His character and personality were not to be underestimated. Although his words and deeds were exaggerated, they were very measured. Apart from his identity as a demon, he was indeed a good person.
The reason why Lingxiang is so insightful is because she has been taught by Chengxin Zhenren since she was a child. Even though she cannot be as indifferent as Chengxin Zhenren, she is still a kind-hearted person. It is also because of this that she is more forgiving to Xiaobai, who was still full of resentment at that time.
When Xiaobai saw Lingxiang's angry face, he sat down too. He sighed from time to time, nonchalantly but intentionally, and glanced at Lingxiang sideways.
Lingxiang was feeling suffocated, and Xiaobai was acting like a provocation. She immediately became unhappy and pushed Xiaobai and said unhappily:
"I heard that you two were friends. Why do you seem to not care at all after he left? Is there anyone in the world who is as good as you in making friends? It's really rare!"
When Xiaobai heard that Ajin had attained enlightenment, he was indeed sad for a while, and he also recalled some past events, but he was more happy for Ajin.
Just like when Ajin learned that Xiaobai had let go of his obsession, although he never said much, after knowing each other for many years, he could naturally sense Ajin's concern for him.
"Look at what you said, what do you mean by we were friends?" Xiaobai rubbed his nose and smiled, then sat back down, "He's not in hell, why should I be sad? Now he has ascended to heaven and ended this thousands of years of calamity. I'm so happy, why should I be sad about those trivial things?"
Lingxiang didn't say anything else, but just continued pinching the flower stalk in her hand.
Lingxiang actually sympathized with the Xishan Cat Spirit Clan, so after learning about the relationship between Ah Jin and Zhao Wuyang, she gave them some advice in secret. She naturally hoped that Ah Jin could escape from the sea of suffering as soon as possible, but somehow, she was unhappy in her heart, but she couldn't tell why. She must have been counting on Ah Jin to enlighten her, but she didn't expect him to leave without saying goodbye, so she was so angry!
Yes, yes! That's right!
Thinking of this, Lingxiang felt much better and even felt justified in blaming Ajin.
Seeing the changing expression on Lingxiang's face, Xiaobai knew that she still hadn't figured it out, but he didn't say much, just smiled helplessly, and then suddenly changed the subject and asked: "Since you are in danger, why don't you call my name?"
This question diverted Lingxiang's thoughts. She pondered for a long time before taking out something from her Qiankun bag, which was the phoenix egg.
Looking at the intricate patterns on the shell, Xiaobai was confused.
"What does this mean?"
"This is a phoenix egg." Lingxiang said, picking up unimportant details about how she got this thing.
Upon hearing that this was a phoenix egg, Xiaobai was very surprised, not to mention that it was an egg that was thousands of years old.
Although he had lived in the human world for hundreds of years, he had mostly seen mundane things, and it was the first time he had seen a phoenix egg, not to mention that it belonged to the ancient goddess Queen Mother of the West. But in comparison, he was more puzzled than surprised.
"What do you want this for?" Xiaobai pinched his chin, observing the phoenix egg carefully while marveling at the colors and patterns on the egg.
It is truly extraordinary!
When I first saw this object, I was amazed at its appearance. But after a closer look, I found that there was another mystery inside it.
Even though this phoenix egg has not hatched for thousands of years, if you smell it carefully, you can feel the vigorous vitality in it. The rich spiritual power overflowing from it is like a raging fire, surrounding the eggshell.
"Do you want to eat it?" Xiaobai asked doubtfully.
He knew that Lingxiang had a damaged spiritual root, and he also knew that she had been looking for a way to repair her spiritual root. But if she took this thing, let alone the efficacy, just talking about this unclear method, who would know how effective it would be? What if one thing backfired, wouldn't it be more harm than good?
Rumor has it that there is indeed a heavenly banquet above the Jiuxiaoyun Palace, and the dragon liver and phoenix brain are just appetizers, but that is relative to those great immortals.
Nowadays, spiritual roots are scarce in the mortal world, and powerful ones are almost impossible to find. Even if one sees them, he or she probably won't use them for nourishment, let alone a spiritual incense with mediocre cultivation?
If a powerful person takes this thing, it may have the effect of improving his cultivation, but Ling Xiang's cultivation is just at the foundation-building stage. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has not yet set foot on the path to immortality. If a mortal body rashly takes this egg, it is possible that he will not be able to withstand its spiritual power and may explode and die.
Such things have happened throughout history.
Thinking of this, Xiaobai hurriedly wanted to dissuade him, but before he could open his mouth, Lingxiang raised her hand to stop him.
"What are you thinking? Don't you know how much I weigh? I have some self-awareness, so how could I dream of such an unrealistic thing?"
After hearing this, Xiaobai became even more confused. Could it be that he wanted to raise it as a spiritual pet?
This phoenix egg has not hatched for thousands of years. Who knows when it will hatch? To put it bluntly, Lingxiang may not be able to wait!
Xiaobai was just wondering when Lingxiang said, "I want you to transform your soul into an egg."
