"Any other reason? What other reason could there be? As long as there's a glimmer of hope to become a demon, I won't give up. Even if I have to go through fire and water, I can do it."
Seeing Hongwu suddenly excited, Ximen Xuanyu immediately explained:
"Xiao Lin, you don't understand. You have skills, but you can't understand the pain of having animal bones but not being able to become a demon."
"Anyway...anyway, if I cut it off once, it will grow back in a year or two. Even if I cut it off again, it will grow back. As long as I don't find the red-tasseled volcano chicken, I will keep cutting it off."
Speaking of this, Hongwu was already in tears. The bitterness and sorrow of the past few years would move anyone who saw it.
Cang Lin said, "Uncle, I don't quite understand. Is it worth it for him to live like this all his life, like purgatory, just to become a demon?"
Ximen Xuanyu stood up from the chair with a hunched back and a bent waist.
“Only you can decide whether it’s worth it or not.
Just like the Xuanwu turtle shell that I have, the Xuanwu is one of the ancient magical beasts. Since I own its shell, I am destined to be an ordinary person in this life. But who would be willing to become an outlier?
Speaking of this, Kong Qing felt the same way.
"Yeah, it would be better if I was an ordinary person from the beginning, then I wouldn't have any ideas. But I have them, and I can't get any blessings. They will follow me around all my life, telling others that I am a waste."
Hongwu continued to sob.
"Ever since I derived this beast bone, I've been looked down upon by many. They know it's going to be hard for me to become a demon in this lifetime, so they call me a birdman. That's why I came to the Rare Beast Sect to prove to them how powerful I am and to see who dares to call me a birdman again."
Although Cang Lin was in the same situation as them, it was difficult for him to empathize with them because his circumstances were different. After all, he used magic skills, so animal bones were indeed dispensable.
"Brother, you came to the Rare Beast Sect in the beginning, why are you leaving now? What happened between you and Hall Master Zhao? It seems like he's afraid of you."
In order to ease the atmosphere, Kong Qing changed the subject.
Ximen Xuanyu chuckled.
"At that time, I also came to the Rare Beast Sect with hope, to see if the Sect Master could give me some information about the Black Tortoise. According to the arrangement, I came to the Legendary Beast Bone Hall. At that time, Zhao Man was just a disciple.
We were not in the same place to begin with. He was in the Hall of Rare Beast Bones, and I was in the Hall of Legendary Beast Bones. We had no prior contact with each other."
Speaking of this, Ximen Xuanyu fell into memories.
"At that time, he was very lucky. The sect leader helped him find the three-headed python. He was blessed and thus got a position. Now he is the head of a hall."
"Then how did Uncle Gong know him? What did you talk about the mechanical mantis?"
Yuan Jun started eating the melon, then he took out a handful of melon seeds and handed them to Hongwu who was still in a daze.
"I'm in the Legendary Beast Bone Hall. You should know that no one has any news about Warcraft. Gradually, everyone feels hopeless and starts complaining.
Many people thought that the sect leader was too busy to pay attention to them, so many people came up with a solution.
At this time, Hall Master Zhao took the initiative to contact the people of the Legendary Beast Bone Hall, saying that it was not that the Sect Master was unwilling to help us find the monsters, but that the legendary monsters were too difficult to find, and that we needed a lead to have hope.
Speaking of this, Cang Lin began to speculate.
"Later, he asked everyone to cut off a piece of animal bone for him, and then took it to the sect leader as an inducement?"
"That's right, everyone's been waiting for a long time. Now that there's an opportunity like this, no matter what it is, they'll seize it. Many people have cut animal bones for him."
"I guess my uncle didn't give it to him," Yuan Jun said while cracking melon seeds.
"That's right, I was so engrossed in my research on mechanical skills at that time that I didn't even go out, and I didn't even know that Zhao Mandi had come to see us.
One day, I was studying my mechanical mantis. I felt that the mantis's teeth were very unique. It could be used as a saw or a knife. If it could be controlled properly, it could also be used as a thug. However, although the idea was good, the research was very difficult.
At that time, I could only let the mechanical mantis walk and swing its saw teeth at the same time.
After a few days of research without much progress, I decided to go out and look for ideas.”
"Then the great-uncle noticed that everyone's bones were damaged, and he was very surprised, so he asked?"
"That's right. There aren't many people in the Legendary Beast Bone Sect. I and one other person are the only ones who have ancient magical beast bones. The others have mutated magical beast bones, and they are all incomplete.
I went to find someone else.”
"That man was also cut into the bones of the beast"
"No, he's a man who pays a lot of attention to his appearance. He's usually hard to get close to and is very arrogant. When I went there, Zhao Manzheng walked out in frustration.
"I guess he wants that person to cut the animal bones. Why do I feel like there's something wrong with this Hall Master Zhao?"
Not only Yuan Jun had this feeling, but everyone present also felt that something was wrong.
Ximen Xuanyu didn't look at everyone's reaction and continued to tell the story.
"When I walked in, the man started to persuade me to go find Zhao Man, saying that if I gave him a turtle shell, I could find the Black Tortoise."
Everyone was very surprised. Why did this man persuade Ximen Xuanyu to do it when he himself didn't want to?
"I was so moved by what he said that I went to Zhao Man to ask him if it was true. Zhao Man was very happy and assured me that as long as I had the tortoise shell, the chances of success would be greatly increased!"
"It turns out that Bogong was also cut into animal bones, and in the end he did not find the magical beast to pray for."
Yuan Jun was about to grab another handful of melon seeds when Cang Lin stepped forward and said, "Uncle, to cut a long story short, I have a guess that I'd like to confirm as soon as possible."
Ximen Xuanyu nodded and explained the next steps in a concise manner.
Hall Master Zhao took the tortoise shell, saying he would give it to the sect leader, and that person pulled Ximen Xuanyu to follow him. In the end, they found out that he had secretly sent the tortoise shell to a big family, who used the tortoise shell to make a family Xuanwu token.
After learning about the situation, they found a way to report it to the sect leader. Hall Master Zhao escaped responsibility by claiming that he was threatened and was only lightly punished. Ximen Xuanyu was very angry and released a mechanical mantis to chase him.
"Tell me about this scene quickly, I want to hear it"
"I was so angry that I released all the failed mechanical mantises I'd been researching recently. Unexpectedly, the mantises seemed to go crazy too, hacking at him like crazy, leaving him with no time to even use his Beast Bone skill."
Yuan Jun burst into laughter.
"Master Zhao must be really funny looking like he's running away with his head in his hands. No wonder he's so scared of you."
At this time, Lian Hongwu laughed.
"Then I left the Rare Beast Sect. Rather than waiting here for that hopeless hope, I had other pursuits."
"Thank goodness Uncle left, otherwise we would have lost a top skill master and flying boat captain."
Yuan Jun said admiringly. "Where is the person who used you as a target and exposed Master Zhao?"
"He also passed away. He felt that the highest realm of life was not the cultivation of a demon, but the pursuit of beauty. He pursued beauty."
This is truly a special person.
