Chapter 237: Seeking Eggs for the Purpose of Soul Transformation
Ah Jin was being too disloyal. They were all friends, but when he ascended to the Dao, he was able to remove the miasma from Wu Yang's body, but he didn't mention that he could also treat Long Qi. It was really not considerate! Now, there was no chance to even complain to him.
He's now a true god! He's heading straight to the divine realm without looking back!
How unfair! How unfair! She had planned everything for him before, but he didn't even say goodbye!
Heartless! Ungrateful! Perfidious!
Lingxiang sat in the yard bored, tearing the wild flowers she picked up, while criticizing Ajin fiercely in her heart.
Although Long Qi's injuries appeared serious, he was fortunately saved by the presence of Master Chengxin, who had come to visit him. The group was housed in a courtyard in Fufeng County, while Long Qi was taken away alone to cure 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 is 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 accidentally entering the fairyland, so she did not notice it before.
Besides Lingxiang who was extremely angry about Ajin's departure, there was another person who also felt sympathetic towards him. That was Xiaobai who came with Master Chengxin.
Outsiders may find it strange. According to rumors, the Yuanqing Sect and the demon clan have had a long-standing grudge and should be irreconcilable. But why is it that Zhenren Chengxin, the elder who teaches martial arts in the Yuanqing Sect, can travel the same path with Xiaobai, who is a demon, and even get along well with him?
Otherwise, how can we say "Ten Thousand People, Ten Thousand Images"? 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 be attached to a temporary conflict and deny everything.
After spending some time with Xiaobai, Master Chengxin felt that he was a worthy friend. His character and personality aside, his speech and behavior, though somewhat flamboyant, were measured. Putting aside his demonic identity, he was indeed a decent person.
Lingxiang's insight is due to the teachings of Master Chengxin, which she received from a young age. Even though she can't match Master Chengxin's indifference and penetrating words, she is still a kind-hearted person. It's also because of this that she was more forgiving of Xiaobai, who was still full of resentment at the time.
When Xiaobai saw Lingxiang's angry face, he sat down too. He sighed nonchalantly but intentionally from time to time and kept glancing at Lingxiang with his sidelong glances.
Lingxiang was feeling suffocated, and Xiaobai acted like a provocateur, so she immediately became unhappy and pushed Xiaobai and said unhappily:
"I heard you two were friends, but why do you seem like you don't care at all after he left? Is there anyone else 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 melancholy and recalled some of the 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 feel Ajin's concern for him.
"Look at what you're saying. What do you mean by we were once friends?" Xiaobai rubbed his nose and smiled, then sat back down. "It's not like he's in hell, so why should I be sad? Now that he's ascended to the Dao, ending this thousand-year-long calamity, I'm overjoyed. Why would I be sad about that?"
Lingxiang didn't say anything else, but just pinched the flower stalk in her hand.
Lingxiang actually felt very sympathetic towards the Xishan Cat Spirit Clan, so after learning about Ah Jin's relationship with Zhao Wuyang, she offered several subtle pointers. She naturally hoped Ah Jin could escape his suffering soon, but for some reason, she felt unhappy, though she couldn't quite pinpoint why.
He must have been hoping that Ajin could enlighten him, but he didn't expect that he would leave without saying goodbye, so he was so angry!
Yes, yes! That’s right!
Thinking of this, Lingxiang felt much better and even complained to Ajin with a clear conscience.
Seeing the changing expression on Lingxiang's face, Xiaobai knew that she still hadn't figured it out. However, he didn't say much, just smiled helplessly, and then suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Since you were in danger, why didn'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.
Xiaobai was very surprised when he heard that it was a phoenix egg, not to mention that it was an egg that had been there for thousands of years.
Although he had lived in the human world for hundreds of years, he had mostly seen mundane things. This was the first time he had ever seen a phoenix egg, let alone one belonging 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, and the rich spiritual power overflowing from it is like a raging fire, surrounding the eggshell and not dissipating.
"Do you want to eat it?" Xiaobai asked doubtfully.
He knew Lingxiang had a damaged spiritual root, and he also knew she had been searching for a way to repair it. But if she took this, let alone the efficacy, who could really tell how effective it would be, given this unclear method? What if it backfired? Wouldn't that be more harm than good?
It is rumored 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 even harder to find. Even if one sees one, he probably won't use it 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 Lingxiang's cultivation level is only at the foundation-building stage. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has not yet set foot on the path of immortality. If a mortal body rashly takes this egg, he may 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 remained unhatched for thousands of years. Who knows when it will hatch? Frankly, Lingxiang may not be able to wait!
Xiaobai was just wondering when Lingxiang interrupted him, "I want you to transform your soul into an egg."
