So that's how it is.
No wonder they couldn't detect my spiritual root that day.
"You just said that because the path to immortality is severed, it will take a long time for its bloodline to awaken, right?" Bai Qingqing asked.
"Yes." Prime Minister Turtle nodded.
"What if, I mean, what if, this world were repaired?" Bai Qingqing asked.
Prime Minister Turtle was taken aback, then glanced at Mo Xuan cautiously.
What to do? This question is beyond the scope of the curriculum.
Mo Xuan then quickly taught him again via telepathy.
The Turtle Prime Minister then cleared his throat and said, "If this world can truly be repaired, the bloodline within the little... turtle will soon awaken."
“Prime Minister Gui is truly knowledgeable and experienced,” Bai Qingqing said with a smile.
"You flatter me, sir. I only sensed it because of the pressure of my bloodline," said the Turtle Prime Minister, wiping the sweat from his brow.
"Do you feel uncomfortable being with the little turtle?" Bai Qingqing asked.
Will the pressure from your bloodline make you feel uneasy?
"No, no," the Turtle Prime Minister hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The bloodline power in the little turtle makes me feel very comfortable."
"Didn't you just say there was a bloodline pressure?" Bai Qingqing asked, puzzled.
"The pressure of bloodline is merely a form of intimidation," said the Turtle Prime Minister. "The little turtle harbors no hostility towards me, so this pressure will not harm me."
"I see." Bai Qingqing nodded. "Then I wonder if Prime Minister Turtle is still willing to be with the little turtle..."
"Sir, I am willing." Before Bai Qingqing could finish speaking, the Turtle Prime Minister nodded repeatedly.
"Then you should go and choose a room first," Bai Qingqing said.
"Alright." Prime Minister Turtle nodded excitedly.
It was actually fortunate enough to occupy a room in the gentleman's courtyard.
If word got out, countless people would be incredibly envious.
"Then you choose first, I'll go to the study to take care of some things." After finishing her conversation with Prime Minister Gui, Bai Qingqing went to the study on her own.
The Turtle Prime Minister held the inkstone in both hands and asked cautiously and respectfully, "Great God Xuanwu, which room would you like to choose?"
"Let's go with the one over there." Mo Xuan raised his little paw and casually pointed.
"Yes." Prime Minister Turtle nodded and carried Mo Xuan inside.
The room wasn't particularly large, but it was clean and tidy, and sunlight streamed in through the windows, making it especially cozy.
Prime Minister Gui placed Mo Xuan properly on the rattan chair in the center.
Then he stood awkwardly to the side.
"Take out that bead from your body." Mo Xuan straightened up, sitting like a human, his short legs dangling back and forth.
“The bead…” Prime Minister Turtle was taken aback, but quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly took out the bead.
"Is this bead an heirloom of your clan?" Mo Xuan asked after examining it for a while.
"Yes." Mo Xuan pursed his lips and said truthfully, "I... I thought you had an ordinary little turtle here, so..."
"I appreciate your kind intentions," Mo Xuan said, returning the bead to the Turtle Prime Minister. "The divine turtle bloodline within will also benefit you; please consume it."
"Yes." Prime Minister Turtle hesitated slightly before swallowing it directly.
As soon as the bead entered his stomach, the Turtle Prime Minister's face turned bright red, and white smoke even rose from his shell.
My stomach felt like it was on fire.
Just as the Turtle Prime Minister was about to give up, Mo Xuan directly raised his claw and slapped the Turtle Prime Minister's forehead.
A refreshing coolness instantly flowed into its eight extraordinary meridians.
The heat inside my body was immediately suppressed, and I felt a sense of comfort all over my body.
That trace of divine turtle bloodline was also perfectly integrated into its body.
Almost instantly, its realm directly stepped into the peak of the first level of the half-step immortal realm.
The Turtle Prime Minister clenched his fist, feeling the abundant spiritual energy within his body. His small eyes widened in disbelief.
"Stop looking like that," Mo Xuan said, glancing at the Turtle Prime Minister.
"Yes." Prime Minister Turtle nodded immediately.
"Stay close to your master and be clever; there will be many more opportunities in the future," Mo Xuan said again.
"Yes, thank you for your guidance, Great God Xuanwu," the Turtle Prime Minister hurriedly replied.
Now, let's talk about Bai Qingqing.
He is currently grinding ink in his study.
The writing brush and the bronze box were placed to one side.
The ink was quickly ground.
Bai Qingqing picked up her brush and casually wrote a line of ancient poetry on the bronze box: "In my drunken stupor, I pick up my lamp to examine my sword."
As soon as I put pen to paper, I heard a click from the bronze box.
Then, Bai Qingqing easily opened the bronze box, and inside was indeed a treasure map.
It's not exactly the same as the previous treasure map, but it's completely identical.
The same squares contain larger circles, the same large circles contain smaller circles, the same small circles have bars inside, and the same bars have triangles stacked on top of them...
Bai Qingqing's hand holding the treasure map trembled again and again.
"Xiao Hao, should I go back to Shadowmoon Island?" Bai Qingqing took a deep breath and asked.
This system is really something else, constantly messing with people.
“No,” Xiao Hao said crisply.
"Didn't you say before that this represents Shadowmoon Island?" Bai Qingqing asked.
“No,” Xiao Hao said, “This treasure map is different from that one, how could it represent the same place?”
"Is it different?" Bai Qingqing frowned, puzzled.
“Of course they’re different,” Xiao Hao said.
Bai Qingqing took out the treasure map from before and compared it from all angles.
Look at this circle, look at this frame, look at this bar...
They are exactly the same.
"Then tell me, what's different?" Bai Qingqing asked, hands on her hips, pointing to the two long treasure maps.
“The sizes are different,” Xiao Hao said. “The second one is a bit bigger. And the drawings are different too; there are curved and thickened parts here.”
When Xiao Hao was explaining, he marked the different locations on the two treasure maps with circles.
Bai Qingqing practically leaned in, her eyes nearly going blind, before she finally noticed even the slightest difference.
The strokes are a little too thick.
Also, it seems like the drawing was a bit shaky, so it's not very smooth.
If she hadn't never stayed up late as a child and had perfect vision (5.2), she really wouldn't have noticed such a subtle difference.
Even if you were to find fault, you wouldn't dare to arrange it this way.
"So, where is this treasure map?" Bai Qingqing asked weakly.
She was too exhausted to complain anymore.
“It’s not within the Southern Wilderness Continent,” Xiao Hao said. “I need to investigate its exact location further.”
"Alright then, it's up to you." Bai Qingqing rubbed her temples, holding back for a while, but finally couldn't help but say, "Your teacher is really... amazing."
Xiao Hao immediately said proudly, "That's right, our teacher is the most amazing in the world."
Bai Qingqing was speechless upon hearing this.
What she said was definitely not a compliment.
