Xiao Jin's gaze lingered on the knife for a while before he finally let out another hum.
Chu Nian was puzzled and asked, "What are you humming about?"
Xiao Jin: "This knife looks familiar."
Chu Nianqi asked, "Why do you look familiar?"
Xiao Jin: "..."
Seeing his brows furrowed, Chu Nian asked in confusion, "What's that expression? Are you constipated?"
Xiao Jin said, "In the Buddhist scriptures left by the Tathagata, there is a chapter with a picture of a knife that looks very similar to this one." He paused, then added, "It is said that this knife is the personal knife of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva—the Heart-Slaying Knife, which is said to be a demonic knife of hell that can cut down everything."
Chu Nian said "Oh," and asked, puzzled, "Even if they look alike, or even if they are the same knife, do you really need to make that face?"
Hu Tiantian asked her, somewhat alarmed, "Master, the Hell Demon Blade, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, don't you think of anything?"
Chu Nian paused for a moment before saying, "Are you talking about the Northern Emperor Lin Jingting?"
Xiao Jin: "It is said that he is the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva personally appointed by the Buddha Tathagata."
Chu Nian: "But I don't think the monks of Mount Ling have included the Northern Emperor in their Buddhist sect at all!"
Xiao Jin fell silent.
Hu Tiantian chuckled and said, "There seems to be a rumor that the Northern Yin Emperor is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. This title was bestowed upon him by the Ling Mountain people on their own, and the Northern Yin Emperor has remained silent about it."
Xiao Jin shot Hu Tiantian a sharp look, and Hu Tiantian's smile immediately froze. She quickly suppressed her smile.
Chu Nian: "Let them be!" That happened several worlds ago, what's the point of saying so much now?
Xiao Jin said, "It is said that once this Heart-Piercing Technique is used, it will surely pierce the heart. I think you should be careful, lest one day it turns on you and rips out your heart and liver."
Chu Nian: "Instead of worrying about its backlash, I'd rather worry about you first. Speaking of which, when it comes to backlash, it seems you're more inclined to do so than it is!"
Xiao Jin coughed lightly and said, "We're talking about knives, why are you criticizing me? Besides, I don't have the ability to turn against you!"
Well, it's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't. This Xiao Jin, though ridiculously arrogant, is still a decent person. Chu Nian thought to herself, feeling a bit amused and exasperated.
Now that the blade has undergone a major transformation, Chu Nian can now transform into human form.
Because the original owner was a demon, Chu Nian directly used the immortal spring in the spatial artifact to upgrade the blade to an immortal body. After the transformation, although the five features were still the same as the original owner's, the skin was much better than the original owner's, and she looked like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl in her prime.
Chu Nian flashed out of the spatial artifact and saw that the insect egg had been rolling around these past few days and had now rolled onto the balcony, where some potted plants were growing. It was probably more suitable for insects to live than other places!
This time, Chu Nian was able to easily use her mental and spiritual power. With a flick of her wrist, she put the egg into the spatial artifact and handed it over to Tuoba Hongyuan and the others to study.
Then chaos erupted inside the spatial artifact.
"Oh my god, there's a bird!"
"Run!"
"Don't eat us! We're not even born yet!"
...
The bead rolled around a lot.
Xiao Jin was so angry that his face turned green. He roared, "I don't eat bugs! What a bunch of disgusting things, they want me to eat them!" After saying that, he flicked his sleeve and flew to a very distant mountain.
The bead finally stopped rolling around and even let out a long sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness, it doesn't eat insects!"
"Ugh, that's terrifying!"
"Where is this place? The air is much better than outside; it feels more suitable for us to live in!"
"Look, there's a miracle drug!"
The bead rolled around again and ended up in the medicinal field.
As a result, Hu Tiantian watched as the barren fields he had just reclaimed and the spiritual herbs he had painstakingly planted all vanished in an instant.
The land turned into wasteland again.
Tuoba Hongyuan said, "Tiantian, look, this land is overgrown again. Why don't you talk to the master and come work for me? Otherwise, you'll have to start clearing the land all over again, which is exhausting."
"Get out!" Hu Tiantian roared angrily, enraged.
"Look, there are even more medicinal fields over there, and they're much better than these. They're all high-aged spiritual herbs."
"Hurry up, let's go eat over there."
...
Tuoba Hongyuan was startled by the sight and shouted, "Stop right there!"
Fortunately, Blue Lightning's speed was always extreme, and it instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning to block the bead.
Perhaps because it had just taken the elixir, the bead was now a size larger than before.
Chu Nian suddenly realized: This egg has never hatched in tens of thousands of years, probably because the spiritual energy is depleted and there are not enough spiritual herbs to nourish it.
Bead: "Hey, why won't we eat the elixir if it's available?"
Lan Dian: "Those are the fruits we worked so hard to grow. If you want to eat them, go grow them yourselves."
Beads: "We're still cubs. You can't treat cubs like this."
Lan Dian: "Anyway, you can't eat the medicine we grow. You're not our cub, so this doesn't apply to us."
Bead: "How can I not be your offspring? We're both insects!"
Blue Lightning's face turned green, and he shouted, "I'm a snake, not a worm! Get the hell out of here!"
"Uh, they're not letting us eat, what should we do?"
"I don't know either. We finally got food, but we weren't allowed to eat. We're probably the most miserable cubs."
"How can these guys be so heartless, abusing us young?"
...
"Go far away and talk to it!" Blue Lightning said, kicking the bead aside.
Because the bead was round, it rolled along a downhill slope for several hundred meters until it fell into a pond behind the slope with a splash.
"My God, where am I?"
"So much water. How scary."
"Help!"
"We insects are most afraid of water."
"Help!"
"Hey, I think I see a fish."
"I want to eat sashimi."
"No, no, we insects are most afraid of water."
"I want to eat sashimi."
"Help!"
There was a sudden splashing sound in the water, followed by a splatter of blood.
"Help!"
"The sashimi was quite delicious."
"We insects are terrified of water, let's get out of here quickly!"
"I'm drowning! Help!"
"Run!"
Then a ball the size of a palm shot out of the pond and landed heavily in front of Blue Lightning. Because the ball was covered in water, it mixed with the soil on the ground and turned into mud, splashing up a bunch of mud droplets that all landed on Blue Lightning.
Lan Dian's face flushed and paled in turns: she hadn't dodged it—at her speed. What kind of insect was that?
"Get lost!" Blue Lightning felt his most arrogant speed had been challenged, and he roared hysterically, raising his hand to slap the racket.
"Oh my god!" The ball rolled away and dodged it.
