The southwestern border region is lush with vegetation and teems with snakes, insects, rodents, and ants.

During her journey, Xu Weiwei ate food prepared by Granny Ma using special methods. This food was made from snakes, insects, rats, and ants.

At first it was a little nauseating, but gradually I found the taste quite good, even delicious.

As Xu Weiwei ate these things, her body gradually changed. Her natal Gu worm grew much larger, turning into thin threads that spread throughout her body.

Finally, they reached the depths of the mountains, a place rarely visited by people, and found a cave to stay in.

Under Granny Ma's tutelage, Xu Weiwei is now able to catch snakes, insects, and rodents, and even cook delicious meals with them.

At night, Granny Ma was practicing her spiritual cultivation.

However, Granny Ma suddenly sensed an aura on her body that did not belong to her, and immediately opened her eyes, realizing the seriousness of the situation.

She was placed under a spell; no matter where she went, that person knew where she was.

In that case, those people won't be able to catch up quickly.

They haven't caught up yet, probably because they're tied up with something in Hong Kong.

Xu Weiwei, who was sleeping, was suddenly grabbed by the arm by Granny Ma.

"Grandma Ma, what's wrong?" Xu Weiwei asked in surprise. "Has someone caught up with us?"

Grandma Ma didn't speak, but checked Xu Weiwei's arm again with both hands. She breathed a sigh of relief; Xu Weiwei wasn't hurt.

In this way, at least Xu Weiwei's life can still be saved!

Granny Ma handed a black package to Xu Weiwei and said, "Weiwei, I've been placed under a spell. No matter where I go, that person will find me. If you stay with me, you'll definitely be caught. This package contains our sect's inheritance; it's all inside. You should leave alone, find a safe place to hide, and cultivate diligently."

Upon hearing this, Xu Weiwei was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

"Oh my god?" Xu Weiwei's face turned pale. "Master, I'm scared to be alone!"

"So, do you want to live, or do you want to fall into the hands of the enemy?" Granny Ma asked. "If you follow me, you will definitely be captured, because you can't remove the restrictions on your body. Even if you follow me, you will still be captured. After the past period of time, you have already mastered the basics. If you are not by my side, your progress may be slower, but you will still grow slowly."

Xu Weiwei, with tears streaming down her face, said, "Master, if I leave, what will you do? If you fall into the hands of those people, they will kill you."

Grandma Ma held Yu Weiwei's hand and said, "Weiwei, if your mother hadn't saved me back then, I would have died long ago and wouldn't be alive and well until now. Now that you're in danger, I'll protect you even if it costs me my life. Come, sit down!"

Xu Weiwei was puzzled, but she still did as Granny Ma said.

Once Xu Weiwei was seated, Granny Ma sat in front of her and said, "Keep your eyes wide open and watch carefully. If you can, you can pass on our sect's secret techniques in the future."

Xu Weiwei nodded.

Granny Ma's eyes bulged out, as if she had gathered all the energy in her body. She took out a knife and cut a large gash on her right index finger. Then she cut open a button on Xu Weiwei's right middle finger, and bright red blood flowed out of her fair fingers instantly.

A lot of blood flowed from Granny Ma's withered fingers, but her blood was thicker and darker, and then a thin thread flowed out from Granny Ma's fingers.

A thread-like thing also emerged from Xu Weiwei's cut finger.

These two thread-like things came out from Granny Ma and Xu Weiwei's bodies, then intertwined and gradually merged, eventually becoming a "thread" that was a little thicker than before.

Actually, that's not silk thread. If you look at it under a microscope, you'll see that this thin thread has some tiny tentacles on it.

Xu Weiwei was dumbfounded, not knowing why her master was doing this.

Just then, as the thick silk thread was about to enter Granny Ma's body, Granny Ma stopped it, using a secret technique to allow it to enter Xu Weiwei's body instead.

Xu Weiwei felt disgusted, but at the same time, she also felt the benefits that this disgusting thing brought.

Despite trekking through mountains and rivers these past few days, Xu Weiwei wasn't tired at all. This was something that would have been absolutely impossible before, so she understood that the change came from the Gu worm that Granny Ma had given her.

Slowly, slowly, they were all inside.

Xu Weiwei felt her body swell and feel numb, but at the same time, she felt very comfortable.

Granny Ma relentlessly taught Xu Weiwei how to cultivate and how to protect her life until dawn. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Granny Ma collapsed to the ground.

"Weiwei, you'd better leave quickly," Granny Ma said. "I sense that person is coming, getting close. You'd better leave quickly."

Granny Ma could feel the restrictions on her body growing stronger; it must be that person getting closer and closer.

Seeing that Granny Ma was so thin she was just skin and bones, Xu Weiwei said, "Master, I'll carry you on my back. I can't leave you here."

"Hurry up and leave. My natal Gu has been passed on to you, and I am already dying. Taking me with you will only bring you trouble," Granny Ma said. "If someone hadn't been following us, I might have been able to continue teaching you, but not now. All of our sect's knowledge is in that package. From now on, you will have to study on your own and cultivate diligently. Promise me you won't use these things to harm innocent people."

Xu Weiwei nodded and said, "Master, I won't hurt the innocent, I won't. Master... Master..."

Granny Ma felt a little dizzy and it took her a while to open her eyes. She said, "Weiwei, go. If you stay, you'll end up like me, dead. I'm already very grateful that you can pass on the sect's teachings. Besides, think about your mother; she's still in Hong Kong."

Xu Weiwei was taken aback. Yes, she still wanted her mommy.

If she gets caught, who will Mom rely on in the future?

"Alright, let's go, let's go." Granny Ma's eyes were somewhat unfocused, and she seemed listless.

Xu Weiwei knelt before Granny Ma, kowtowed three times, and said, "Master, your disciple is unfilial, your disciple is unfilial!"

"Don't cry. I'm already content to die in such a beautiful place..." Granny Ma said, closing her eyes.

Xu Weiwei got up, cleaned the cave, changed Granny Ma into clean clothes, and placed her on a clean rock.

Since her master was still alive, Xu Weiwei couldn't bury him, so she personally went to get some food, cooked it, and placed it on the leaves of a large tree next to her master.

Last night, Xu Weiwei, carrying her bundle, knelt down before Granny Ma again, kowtowed, and said, "Master, your disciple is unfilial..."

After Xu Weiwei left, Granny Ma opened her eyes.

It's good that he's gone; she has no more worries. She can just quietly wait for that person to come and see who he really is.
