Shangguan Jianxing asked, "Why can't you sense them?"
"A person can control their limbs to move, but can they control every single hair on their head?" Lan Zhi asked, then explained, "Transparent Gu are even thinner and weaker than a hair. It's like cutting off the tip of a hair. I feel nothing, so I can't perceive their living conditions. But to them, I'm as conspicuous as the sun..."
Those transparent poisons were cultivated by Lan Zhi using her own blood.
To the poisonous insects, Lan Zhi's blood is equivalent to their "mother". They are naturally dependent on and attached to their "mother". The transparent poisonous insects are very small in size, and thousands of them can live in the same drop of blood.
Therefore, cultivating transparent Gu is not a difficult task. The difficulty lies in how to raise them. If they are not raised well, a large number of Gu worms will die.
The power of the Orchid God Flower flows in Lan Zhi's blood, and only her blood can give birth to thousands of poisonous insects.
"I'm leaving..." Lan Zhi thought for a moment, then took out a handful of spirit stones and placed them in Shangguan Jianxing's hands. She said, "Please help me pass them on to my two brothers."
Lan Zhi had already given spirit stones to her brothers half a month ago. She didn't know if they had used them up. Now she didn't know how long she would be gone, so she had to leave some cultivation resources before leaving.
Shangguan Jianxing nodded and said, "Okay, don't worry, I will help you guard the house."
"I have one more thing to trouble you with..."
Shangguan Jianxing asked, "What's the matter?"
Lan Zhi said, "There are many small vendors on the street in front of my house. Among them are Prince Rui's spies. I hope you can show up every few days in my identity..."
Shangguan Jianxing was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm a man... You want me to pretend to be you?"
"Although Yuan Zhan is no longer paying attention to me, those spies haven't left yet. They are the people left behind by Prince Rui... When Prince Rui returns, he will definitely ask them about my whereabouts."
"Prince Rui is ill," Shangguan Jianxing complained. The feeling of being watched was truly unpleasant. He said, "I can perform a large-scale illusion and make everyone think I am you."
"Thank you for your hard work!" Lan Zhi thanked him, used the Skylight Blindness to walk out of the mansion.
After she left, Shangguan Jianxing carefully and meticulously checked every corner of the courtyard. Any insects he found would be ruthlessly eliminated.
After doing all this, Shangguan Jianxing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This makes me feel much more comfortable."
He has mysophobia and obsessive-compulsive disorder, but they are "intermittent" and you never know when they will flare up. For example, he could sit calmly by the river watching Lanzhi fishing yesterday, but today he feels that even a speck of dust on his body is an intolerable thing. The symptoms are still mild now.
One day, while he was living in a cave, his mysophobia suddenly struck in the middle of the night. He got up and started cleaning. He kept the cave spotless for a whole day and night, not even eating during that time... When the mysophobia wore off, Shangguan Jianxing was almost in tears. The cave wasn't his home; it was just a place he'd found to sleep and rest while traveling. He'd only slept for less than an hour, and spent the rest of the time cleaning...
Another time, Shangguan Jianxing paid to stay at an inn for a night. The next day, he woke up and his old habit came back. He cleaned the inn inside and out. Not only did he not get paid, but the owner even chased him for compensation, saying he had disturbed the guests...
"These fish... they look so miserable." Shangguan Jianxing looked up at the dozens of dried fish hanging in the yard. He resisted the urge to throw them in the water to wash them, but after a while, he couldn't help himself and reached out his sinful hand towards the fish closest to him...
At this moment, a ring on his hand vibrated.
Shangguan Jianxing withdrew his hand and lightly tapped the ring. The originally inconspicuous ring turned emerald green, and a solemn male voice came from the ring: "Son, where are you?"
"The Great Rui Kingdom."
Then, a female voice rang out from the ring: "Jian Xing, Mom misses you. You've been away from home for so long and you haven't even come back to see me...why don't you use the teleportation stone to come back?"
The teleportation stone is a gem that seals the power of space. Its appearance is not necessarily stone, and it can be carved into various things such as bracelets, earrings, etc. For example, the ring worn by Shangguan Jianxing is a teleportation stone. The Shangguan family has attached a communication-like magic circle to it, so that remote conversation can be achieved. If Shangguan Jianxing wants to go home, he can trigger the power of space on the ring and instantly cross the space and return to his distant family.
The teleportation stone is expensive and each stone can only be used once. That is to say, if Shangguan Jianxing uses the ring to go home, the ring will break.
Every member of the Shangguan family who travels far away from home has a teleportation stone on him, which is distributed by the family for free. However, if one is used up, the family will not give him another one unless he takes out a treasure to exchange with the family.
"Son, come back. I've exchanged ten teleportation stones for you. They'll be enough for you to use for a long time." The mother's voice was very gentle.
"How can you be so wasteful?" His father seemed a little angry and warned, "Shangguan Jianxing, if you dare to use the teleportation stone to come back, I will break your legs!"
Shangguan Jianxing was repeatedly washing his ring with clean water. After he finished, he said, "Don't worry, I won't go back."
I'm used to wandering around.
The parents on the other side of the ring were silent for a moment: "..."
"Dad, Mom, is there anything else?" Shangguan Jianxing asked as he left Zhilan Courtyard and returned to his own Lotus Garden through the hanging flower gate on the right. When he was about to continue cleaning, he found that Jiang Qingcheng had already cleaned the entire yard.
"Brother~" Jiang Qingcheng's voice was sweet and a little sad. She hadn't left the house for a long time. She was confined to the lotus garden every day and she was almost moldy. Moreover, Shangguan Jianxing didn't know how to be gentle with women. Or maybe he knew, but he just refused to be gentle with Jiang Qingcheng. He just treated Jiang Qingcheng as a maid, asking her to do laundry, boil water and clean the room.
Jiang Qingcheng was clumsy at first, but now she has gradually become diligent. She does all the housework on her own without Shangguan Jianxing's instructions.
Jiang Qingcheng came up and asked pleadingly, "Brother, can you go shopping with me? I want to buy some clothes..."
"Shangguan Jianxing, how come there's a girl on your side?" The father's surprised voice came from the ring. "She even calls you brother?"
Shangguan Jianxing didn't answer his father immediately, but said to Jiang Qingcheng, "You didn't clean it well. Do it again."
"Okay, brother..." Jiang Qingcheng's face showed some reluctance, but she still loyally carried out his orders.
