Ideally, this is the necessary path for every holy son of Miao territory.
But that's just in the ideal, because reality is often cruel.
In Miao culture, the high priest holds an extremely revered position.
Besides their unknown succession methods and lifespans, they also possess mysterious powers and ancient traditions in the Miao region.
They are regarded as a bridge between gods and men, have absolute decision-making power over major affairs in Miao territory, and can mobilize various forces in Miao territory for their own use.
According to Miao tradition, before a holy son can meet the high priest, he must cultivate a Gu worm that satisfies the high priest in order to pass the high priest's test.
Only those Miao holy sons who pass the test are qualified to receive the High Priest's instruction and the transfer of power.
If it fails to pass, then the position of the Holy Son of Miao Jiang will be nothing more than an empty shell, given that the High Priest of Miao Jiang is unwilling to teach and relinquish authority.
Historically, those holy sons who did not have a high priest as their backer either rebelled and were overthrown, or were devoured by the venomous insects while raising them...
In short, there are many ways to die.
"Veto power?"
Shen Yulou felt that this system was a bit unreasonable. Could he possibly overthrow the Miao High Priest?
But since this High Priest of Miao Jiang is Chi Yuan, he shouldn't have to rebel on his own initiative, right?
Okay, just kidding.
He propped his head up, rubbed his face, and prepared to fetch a basin of water to wash his hands.
There are still six months until the meeting with the High Priest.
In order to pass the high priest's test, the original owner decided to raise a Gu with human blood, attempting to create the most bloodthirsty and powerful Blood Gu King.
However, one's own blood is far from enough to cultivate a Blood Gu King.
Moreover, the original owner wouldn't be foolish enough to give up all of her blood for a single Gu worm.
Therefore, he decided to first use his own blood to nurture the prototype of the Blood Gu King, and then leave the Miao village to find a new host to supply blood for his Gu worms.
They drain one blood and then move on to the next, continuing this cycle until the Blood Gu King is successfully cultivated.
"Tsk tsk tsk, draining so many people dry, the karmic retribution on his shoulders must be terrible."
Shen Yulou shook his head and decided to stay obediently in the Miao village and work on some other Gu worms.
He hadn't decided what kind of insects to get yet, so he decided to bring out his own little one and kiss it a few times first.
"System, where's my baby?"
"Baby? Baby's in that jar on your bedside table."
"Little one, in the jar?"
How big does this jar have to be to fit this chubby baby?
Filled with questions, Shen Yulou climbed onto the bed and opened the bedside table.
Looking at the exquisitely patterned round rouge box in his hand, he suddenly felt a sense of unease.
With a "snap," the box was opened.
Inside, a plump black worm was curled up asleep, its six legs so small they were almost invisible unless you looked closely.
His kid has turned into a worm?
Shen Meiren's mind went blank for a few seconds, then she touched the fat worm.
The baby huddled even tighter.
Hmmmm, okay, actually he doesn't really hate Gu worms that much.
Bugs are still cute, right?
Shen Yulou nodded to himself, then pinched the chubby boy in his palm and lay on the table watching him sleep.
I couldn't resist touching the little guy every now and then, and finally woke him up.
Wow, the baby's eyes are so big!
Shen Yulou stared in shock at the baby's large black eyes, which took up three-quarters of his face.
The baby is so cute when he blinks.
dad!
Good morning, Dad!
The little one rolled around in Shen Yulou's palm and heard the jingling sound of the sparkling things on his father's head colliding.
It sounds so good!
"Um!"
The sparkly thing on Dad's head is pretty and sounds nice!
The little one also wants to wear the same sparkly thing as his dad.
Put it on the baby's head, Dad puts it on the baby's head!
The little guy crawled over and stretched high, touching his dad's fingers with his bouncy little head.
"The baby's head is too small now, and Daddy's sparkly things are so big."
Shen Yulou opened her dressing table and found that the headdresses were quite large.
