Chapter 76

There are many treasures on the seventh-level venomous spider. The shell can be used to make refining tools, some things can be used as medicine, and the venom can also be collected. Xitie took a knife and professionally matched it, and went to harvest the corpse of the venomous spider.

The three Yuanying who had worked hard took the pills and were meditating and regulating their breathing. Their behavior had completely won the favor of Fulingdie, who even made room for them to sit on the flowers and plants she had gathered. These flowers and plants were full of spiritual energy and could make people feel more comfortable.

Xiao Mo sat next to Chu Jinglan, strumming the grass beside him with the end of his flute, thinking with his eyes lowered.

He had just recalled that the misfortunes in the past might be related to the way of heaven, which was undoubtedly a bombshell. However, before the shock wave could be set off, he was disturbed by the injury of Chu Jinglan, which pulled all his attention to the past.

Seeing Chu Jinglan cutting the flesh without hesitation and causing blood to flow, Xiao Mo only had that knife in his mind and had no time to think about anything else.

The greater impact overwhelmed the previous shock, which was simply fighting poison with poison.

Now that he has some free time to sort out his memories, the most shocking emotions have quietly disappeared. Senses are something that never wait for time to pass. All the thoughts in Xiao Mo's mind have now settled into calmness, allowing him to think clearly and analytically.

It was quite magical, every major event revealed by the system was enough to make Xiao Mo experience great ups and downs, but both times it was Chu Jinglan who pulled his mind out of the chaos.

This matter involves the laws of nature. Is it terrible? Yes, it is terrible.

But these things are not as important as the real person in front of him. It’s not that those things are not important, but at least just now, in Xiao Mo’s mind, they were indeed defeated by Chu Jinglan’s injury.

One of Chu Jinglan's sleeves was still torn, and the snow-white gauze on his arm replaced the sleeve. The torn clothes did not affect his temperament at all. Xiao Mo moved his gaze from the flowers and plants to Chu Jinglan's profile.

In his memory, Xiao Mo said that Su Baimo and Tiandao were mainly hunting him, but Chu Jinglan resolutely stood by his side. Based on his understanding of Chu Jinglan, he knew that Chu Jinglan would never have made such a choice if he had not walked with her for some time and had not given her enough trust.

At that time, I was holding a sword, I had a body and blood, I was not some kind of inner demon spirit. How did I get along with Chu Jinglan at that time?

Xiao Mo couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the two of them were still quarreling?

You know what, it's really possible.

In the past, the Iron Butcher was good at butchering an ox. He quickly cleaned up the carcass of the poisonous spider. He came over and, since Xiao Mo was the only one who could speak at the moment, he showed the things to Xiao Mo.

"This is its beast pill, this is the sharp blade on its foreleg, which can be used to forge weapons; the internal organs can be sold to medical practitioners, the venom can be used to temper magic weapons, and can also be made into poison, and also..."

Xitie pointed them out one by one and arranged them neatly: "Wait for my junior uncle to wake up and share them?"

Xiao Mo listened to him quietly while thinking about his own things and nodded.

Xi Tie added, "My junior uncle has contributed the most, so he should be the first to choose. Otherwise, you can check for him first to see if there is anything he wants to keep."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mo stopped playing the flute that was playing with the flowers and plants, and looked up at Xi Tie: "After he has finished regulating his breathing, he can choose it himself. What I choose may not be what he wants to keep."

"The same goes for the things you want to choose," Xitie still blushed with embarrassment, but he dared to say anything sincere, "His is yours, and yours is his. As long as it is what you want, I think Junior Master Uncle will definitely listen to you."

At this point, he scratched his head and suddenly realized: "Then I should also use a respectful name to address you. I should call you——"

"stop."

Xiao Mo was really sweating profusely at what this honest instrument maker said. Before he could say something more outrageous, Xiao Mo interrupted him hastily, saying that he really couldn't take it: "Just call me by my name, don't use any other name."

Xitie: "Uh, isn't this bad?"

Xiao Mo: "That's good, really. Look at Chu Jinglan. If you want to call him by his name, he won't say anything."

Xiao Mo finished speaking, and then he realized that he seemed to have made the decision for Chu Jinglan again. In the past, it seemed like a trivial matter, but today, after hearing what Xitie said...

However, Chu Jinglan had just finished regulating his breathing, and he had obviously heard the conversation between the two. He opened his eyes and nodded to Xitie: "Yes, he is right."

Xiao Mo couldn't help rubbing his fingers on the flute, pursed his lips, and remained silent for a while. When did he get used to being the boss of Chu Jinglan?

Xiao Mo reflects.

In his memory, he seemed to treat Chu Jinglan as his best friend, and Chu Jinglan insisted on going with Xiao Mo, giving the answer with his actions and never leaving him. It was obvious that the two of them had become close friends whom he could trust his life to. Now, is the relationship between him and Chu Jinglan that close?

I think so, even though they are separated by the identities of their true self and their inner demon.

But because of this, maybe their friendship is even deeper now than before? After all, even though they were natural enemies, they have been able to get along so well now.

However, even if they are close friends, it is not appropriate to make decisions casually. He still needs to be careful in the future.

Yue Ming and Jun Bushu also stopped regulating their breath. The two of them came over and divided the materials dropped by the Corruption Spider together. The Fuling Butterfly didn't want them, so it gave a 300-year-old butterfly feather as instructed. Xitie took the things and did not forget to apologize to Chu Jinglan and the others.

After all, they were all injured.

Jun Bu Shu waved his hands, and Chu Jinglan said succinctly: "No need to apologize."

Yue Ming: "That's right, we took the task of escorting you on our own, so why do we need you to apologize?"

The lucky butterfly was lying in its nest, buzzing, "I promised, and I will send you blessings. Each of you tell me what you need, whether it is to temper your body or your spiritual consciousness."

The tempering effect of the seventh-level Lucky Spirit Butterfly is roughly the same as taking a sixth-grade elixir. There is an improvement, but it is very limited. In addition, a large amount of its spiritual power is used in breeding, so the effect is greatly reduced.

However, encountering a lucky butterfly is a lucky thing, so no one refused it.

The other four chose the body, only Xiao Mo chose the consciousness.

After Fu Lingdie finished blessing, the matter here came to an end. Everyone was about to leave, but Fu Lingdie suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

People were confused.

But the lucky butterfly trembled, and then pushed out a palm-sized butterfly egg.

It actually laid eggs during the blessing process.

The Fuling butterfly can lay more than ten eggs at a time. Amid the puzzled gazes of the crowd, it lifted up an egg with the wind, and made a small nest under the egg with flowers and plants, and then handed it to Xiao Mo.

"I feel like it has a connection with you," said Fu Lingdie, "Are you willing to adopt it?"

Xiao Mo was surprised: "Me?"

Xiao Mo is now Chu Jinglan's inner demon. In the perception of some animals, the two of them have very similar auras, even easy to confuse. But since this lucky butterfly can see the so-called souls, it will definitely not make a mistake.

Fu Lingdie: "Yes, it's you."

Yue Mingmin was excited: "Oh, that's a good thing, it means you are very lucky. The Fuling Butterfly contract is very dependent on fate. I suggest you accept it."

Xiao Mo looked at the soft butterfly eggs in the flowers and plants in front of him. After a moment's hesitation, he finally reached out his hand under the gaze of the Fuling Butterfly: "Okay."

The Fuling butterfly waved its tentacles and gently fluttered its wings, saying goodbye to them: "Well, humans, we'll see you again if we're lucky."

Qiuqiu stood on Xiao Mo's shoulder and peeped at the butterfly eggs in Xiao Mo's hand. Xiao Mo was afraid that Qiuqiu would peck at the butterfly eggs as food, so he said to Qiuqiu, "Be good, you can't eat this."

Qiuqiu: “Chirp.”

I know, I know.

Qiuqiu cannot make human sounds yet, so its bird calls are translated into human language, which only Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan can understand. Xiao Mo puts the butterfly egg into the spirit pet bag, and after waiting for ten days or so, it will hatch on its own.

Yue Ming saw his actions and was a little surprised why Xiao Mo didn't immediately drip blood to acknowledge his master. However, some people like the sense of ceremony and have to be solemn, which is normal, so he didn't ask.

Chu Jinglan put on another coat to cover the bandage on his arm, as well as his equally torn middle and inner garments. After all, he had to go back and change his underwear.

A few people returned to Caidie Town first. The people who came to support from Lin'an Academy were waiting to thank them. Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan had not said goodbye to the three children yet and had to see them before leaving.

Chu Jinglan went into the temporary house and changed his torn clothes. When he went out, he was a handsome young man with neat clothes again.

The demon cultivators in Caidie Town were gone, and the townspeople had all gone home. The empty town suddenly became lively again. The townspeople were very grateful for their help in exorcising the demons, and they swarmed into the yard where they were staying, offering them many gifts with great enthusiasm.

Of course, no one wanted to accept the food, but the owner of the yard who had been borrowed was eager to thank them, so he persuaded everyone to go back. After closing the door, there were still a lot of fruits, snacks and food boxes left, which he didn't want to waste, so Yue Ming took a few fruits and shared them with everyone.

He just wanted to taste it, but the fruit that Yue Ming threw to Xiao Mo was intercepted by Chu Jinglan halfway.

Yueming took a bite of the fruit and said in confusion: "What's going on? It's quite sweet. Didn't I just give you one?"

Chu Jinglan said: "His skills are special, he can't eat anything other than spiritual food."

Chu Jinglan said this, took out other spiritual fruits from the storage container and handed them to Xiao Mo.

Yue Ming was stunned for a moment, then bit into the fruit with a crunch. "To be honest, this is the first time I've seen someone who insists on not harming others. It's really special. Even Buddhists can't tolerate you. If I were to be bullied, I wouldn't be able to hold back my temper."

Because he was not cultivating the true path of compassion, if someone really bullied him or wanted to kill him, he would have ways to deal with it. Xiao Mo ate the spiritual fruit, took the fruit from Chu Jinglan, fed it to Qiuqiu, and said casually: "After all, there are other ways to solve it."

Yue Ming thought of something and nodded: "That's right, with Chu Jinglan here, I can just draw my sword and fight him back. Now no one dares to bully you."

It can also be seen that Xiao Mo has quite a few magical instruments and treasures in his hands, and his wealth might be as rich as Chu Jinglan.

The people from Lin'an Academy and Yingyue Sect stayed in the same courtyard, and the people from Lingxiao Sect stayed next door. Yanchun Chuxia and Mo Zhi were also with them at the moment. At this point, Yanchun gently tugged at Xiao Mo's sleeve and said, "Senior Brother Mo."

Xiao Mo leaned slightly to the side: "Hmm?"

"Senior Brother Su from Lingxiao Sect came to talk to us earlier and asked about your encounter and relationship with the master," Yan Chun said, "but we just passed it over."

This was originally a trivial matter, but Yan Chun took it to heart and thought about mentioning it to Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo's eyes darkened slightly, and he patted Yan Chun on the shoulder: "Well, well done. Also, even if Lin'an Academy and Lingxiao Sect have any dealings in the future, you should stay away from Su Baimo."

Xiao Mo thought about it, and for the sake of caution, he added: "But don't show hostility in front of him. Just avoid him and don't get in touch with him."

Yan Chun took note: "Okay."

Qiuqiu was pecking at the fruit in Xiao Mo's palm with quite a sense of rhythm. Xiao Mo was thinking about other things in the rhythm. Combined with the memory fragments that have been recovered, Su Baimo, who was able to kill Chu Jinglan in the original picture, must have relied on the power of heaven.

The Way of Heaven is impartial and has no cause and effect with mortals. The purpose of selecting the son of destiny is to balance the great torrent of destiny. Luck can be given, but no other interference can be made. If there were no problems with the Way of Heaven, he and Chu Jinglan would not have troubled the Way of Heaven for no reason.

In this case, something must have gone wrong with the natural order of this world.

Xiao Mo followed this line of thought and asked the system, and the system gave a positive answer again, and said: "I can't monitor where Tiandao has gone now, and there is no sign around Su Baimo, only some luck around him."

That means he and Chu Jinglan are safe for the time being and there is still time.

Xiao Mo rubbed Qiuqiu's feathers. Yueming finished eating the fruit and spoke: "In order to celebrate the elimination of the demon cultivator, Caidie Town just said that they will hold a lantern festival tomorrow night. Although I don't need their thanks, it feels interesting to visit the lantern festival. Should we stay for two more days and have some fun?"

Chu Jinglan looked at Xiao Mo and nodded, and Xiao Mo also said, "Okay."

The two of them must have voted together. Yue Mingle said, "So now three people agree, Xitie?"

Xitie also raised his hand and said, "I'll go too."

Over at the Lin'an Academy, the disciples who were previously captured by the evil cultivators woke up. It was time for them to recuperate and relax their body and mind, and no one had any objections.

As it got dark, everyone went back to their rooms. Xiao Mo took out Qiuqiu's bird's nest and let it sleep next to the cupboard. He also released the butterfly eggs and asked Chu Jinglan to recognize them as his master by dripping blood.

But this time, Chu Jinglan shook his head.

Xiao Mo was puzzled: "Only you can do the blood oath."

The inner demon spirit has no blood.

Chu Jinglan put the butterfly egg back into Xiao Mo's hand and said, "After entering Yingyue Sect, I read a record in the library. There is a technique that uses the aura of a cultivator to leave a mark on a monster. It can pretend to be the aura of a blood contract, making outsiders mistakenly think that the monster has recognized its master."

When some monks are unable to contract with monsters due to certain conditions, they will use this method.

Xiao Mo's eyes moved: "It doesn't sound like a method that everyone knows."

Chu Jinglan: “Yeah.”

But the library has opened up enough permissions to Chu Jinglan, including a small part of the forbidden books area. When his cultivation level is further improved, perhaps the entire forbidden books area will be open to him.

Chu Jinglan looked at Qiuqiu who was already sleeping in the bird's nest and said, "If I had known this method earlier, I wouldn't have to make a blood contract with the Golden Flame Flowing Fire Phoenix."

Xiao Mo disagreed with this: "But this method is just a cover-up. If someone finds out that it has no owner, they will definitely take it. It's right for you to sign a contract with it. Even if I knew this method at that time, I would still persuade you to sign a contract."

Chu Jinglan lowered his eyes and said, "But now the Lucky Butterfly is destined to be with you. Please accept it. I will look for it later to see if there is any way to prevent others from making a contract with it."

The butterfly egg was quietly lying in the nest of flowers and plants. Xiao Mo held it in his hand. Chu Jinglan said softly, "The lucky butterfly indicates good luck. May good luck always be with you."

Xiao Mo laughed: "Now that you've said this, it seems I have no choice but to accept it."

Well, Xiao Mo fiddled with the petals at the edge of the nest with his fingers and said silently: You have missed the opportunity to have a date with a peerless genius, little butterfly.

Xiao Mo put the butterfly eggs back into the pet bag and said to Chu Jinglan, "By the way, I will go back to the sea of ​​consciousness more often to cultivate my spiritual consciousness in the near future. Let me tell you about this first."

Chu Jinglan nodded: "How is your consciousness?"

"Not bad." Xiao Mo pressed his chest. "I moved the Huanyue Heart to the vicinity of Dantian and put the Dongqing Pearl in my chest. The spiritual energy of the pearl is indeed helpful to the consciousness. It is very useful."

Chu Jinglan was very surprised and stared blankly at Xiao Mo's chest.

He kept the beads I gave him in his heart...

Chu Jinglan's breath stagnated and he pressed his finger bones hard.

[Ding, mental attack successful, points +500! ]

Xiao Mo was surprised. He put down his hand and looked carefully at the expression of the person in front of him. Then he suddenly realized:

He said that this time, they have come this far as the original body and the inner demon, so the depth of their feelings must be no less than in the previous life. They are close friends and have a deep brotherly love. If I take good care of the beads given by Chu Jinglan, he will be very satisfied, right?

Xiao Mo thought he understood everything clearly and smiled at Chu Jinglan.

His smile was so beautiful that Chu Jinglan could hardly bear to look away. After all, his heart was becoming increasingly out of control. However, he really couldn't bear to miss Xiao Mo's expression.

Xiao Mo patted Chu Jinglan's uninjured arm and said, "You are so tired today. Don't spend all your time practicing tonight. Get some sleep."

Chu Jinglan: "Well, then you..."

Xiao Mo: "I won't sleep tonight. I have to make some preparations for the next practice."

I have to sort out my memory slowly, so that I won't be confused when I remember more later.

But the biggest problem has already happened, and we should be able to deal with it later. Dong Qingzhu's aura really made Mo feel comfortable, and Xiao Mo did not lie.

Chu Jinglan seemed normal and replied calmly, "Okay."

Only he knew that the atmosphere just now was good, so he had a little expectation for this small thing under normal circumstances. After all, they always slept together.

Even though it failed, it doesn't matter. From the occasional responses Xiao Mo has given recently, it seems that he is gradually coming to the fore?

It’s a good thing, Chu Jinglan thought in his heart.
