Chapter 48 Farewell to Siyao(1/2)
This turtle egg is the spirit beast egg of the "Xuanshui Turtle" of the Earthly Bloodline.
Lu Changan put his hand on the surface of the eggshell and felt the weak fluctuations of life, which was continuing to decline.
Without the nourishment of precious spiritual liquid, within half a year, the signs of life in the turtle egg would be completely cut off.
"The Zhou Family of Beast Control is really a scam."
Lu Changan sighed, if not, it would not be his turn.
Without rare treasures, it would be difficult to hatch this black water turtle egg.
If it doesn't hatch, it will consume spiritual liquid if it is left there.
Basically, whoever buys it is tricked.
Even if you pay the price, a diseased seedling is likely to hatch in the end.
Lu Changan watched for a moment, then carefully injected a trace of Evergreen mana into the turtle egg.
If you have ordinary mana and act rashly, it may cause unpredictable negative consequences.
But what Lu Changan practices is health-preserving skills. The evergreen magic power is peaceful and contains the energy of life.
Even so, he only input a weak wisp of mana.
"Um?"
That ray of evergreen mana was quickly absorbed by the turtle egg, and it lost all sensitivity in the blink of an eye.
Not only that, he captured the throbbing of the life breath inside the eggshell, conveying a faint emotion of longing.
Seeing this, Lu Changan slowly input Changqing's mana, increasing its weight.
The black water turtle egg is like a sponge, constantly sucking Lu Changan's evergreen mana.
It wasn't until Lu Changan was almost out of mana that the momentum of absorption slowed down.
The life fluctuations within the eggshell stabilized, and the momentum of vitality exhaustion was curbed.
"It can be regarded as a successful pregnancy."
"However, I don't know what external force affected this turtle egg. The life embryo inside is still very weak and its essence has not changed. If it hatches normally, it will most likely be a sick child."
Lu Changan pondered, considering whether to use the secret healing technique of Evergreen Gong.
This secret technique can even bring Mu Xiuyun back to life after her life has stopped, and it should be easy to cure diseases.
However, using the secret healing technique will consume life span. The last time he saved Mu Xiuyun, it cost him two months of life.
If it only consumes one and a half years of life, it is acceptable. Lu Changan just took the first-level life extension pill, which extended his life by up to ten years.
He couldn't determine how much lifespan it would take to allow the black water turtle to hatch healthily.
In addition, due to the external interference of Evergreen's mana, will there be any changes after the hatching is successful?
All this is still unknown, just like opening a blind box.
"Don't worry, Zhou Qingxuan is still in Fang City. This woman is extremely talented at controlling beasts, so we have to guard against her."
It would be more troublesome if Zhou Qingxuan suddenly wanted to come over to check on the status of the Xuanshui turtle eggs.
…
Early the next morning, Lu Changan went to Fangshi's inn to see Zhao Siyao off.
Yesterday, both Li Ergou and Lin Yi returned.
Zhao Siyao did not plan to return to the sect and wanted to go out to look for opportunities to build the foundation. She stayed in Fang City for the past few days to purchase some resources.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, have you thought carefully about it? Do you really want to go to the Black Mist Mountains to practice?"
Looking at Zhao Siyao, who had a cold temperament and was as elegant as a fairy, Lu Changan was somewhat surprised by this decision.
Zhao Siyao's cultivation has reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining. He only needs to follow the steps in the sect, go through qualifications, complete tasks, and wait to exchange for the foundation-building pill.
"I stayed at the ninth level of Qi Refining for more than ten years. My practice was in trouble, my mind was tired, and my will was slack. But at this auction, evil cultivators were rampant in the city, which opened my eyes and made me realize something."
Zhao Siyao sighed.
"In terms of life experience, Siyao is not as good as fellow Taoist Lin Yi, nor is he as good as fellow Taoist Lu. This time, I plan to go to Huanglong Fairy City and the Black Mist Mountains to hone my skills, kill monsters, and consolidate my foundation."
Zhao Siyao's voice was clearer and her eyes were firm.
Lu Changan thought thoughtfully, going to the Black Mist Mountains to hone his skills, the risk is not small.
Going out to experience and sharpen your mind is one aspect.
Some precious spiritual herbs and monster materials in the Black Mist Mountains can be exchanged for contributions at the sect.
Zhao Siyao wanted to redeem the Foundation Building Pill, but his contribution to the sect was not enough and he kept following the rules, which inevitably made people anxious.
Especially in this auction, the Foundation Establishment Pill is out of reach.
She also found problems herself, so she might as well go out to experience and take a chance.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, my respected master didn't help you?"
Lu Changan felt moved and asked.
Zhao Siyao became a disciple of a fake elixir Jurchen. Lu Changan was relieved when he first learned about it.
In this way, her outstanding beauty and temperament are guaranteed to a certain extent in the sect, and she will not be easily coveted or subject to the unspoken rules of her seniors.
Logically speaking, as the fake elixir master, a little care in the sect can speed up the progress of Zhao Siyao's foundation building.
"Master, she has several disciples and doesn't have many resources to take care of me."
Zhao Siyao forced a smile and looked slightly depressed.
"Furthermore, her grandson is an inner disciple. Now that he is accepted as a disciple, he needs to invest a lot..."
Although Zhao Siyao didn't say it clearly, Lu Changan immediately made a guess.
If False Dan Zhenren wants to cultivate his grandson, how much impact will it have compared to Fu Zhao Siyao's foundation building?
It’s not like the other party has to pay for the foundation building resources.
The problem mostly lies with the grandson.
That fake Dan Jurchen probably wanted to bring Zhao Siyao and his grandson together.
In this way, the resources she took care of were used on her own family.
Lu Changan sighed secretly, thinking that Zhao Siyao would be able to avoid covetousness and unspoken rules by becoming a disciple of the female fake Dan.
The fact is that it was avoided, but not completely avoided.
Zhao Siyao probably looked down on the grandson of the fake alchemy master, which made the master unhappy and refused to truly support him in foundation building.
…
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, you are going to the Black Mist Mountains to practice. Lu can't help you much. He can only give you two first-level high-quality talismans to express your feelings."
Lu Changan took out a Speed Talisman and a Rejuvenation Talisman and handed them to Zhao Siyao.
The former is used to speed up escape, and the latter is used to heal injuries.
Zhao Siyao went here to experience, and there were inevitable risks, which would determine whether he could build a foundation in the future.
If you are unlucky, your beauty will die young.
Today is the last time Lu Changan sees Zhao Siyao.
Zhao Siyao did not refuse, took the talisman, and felt the extraordinary power contained in the talisman.
It's obviously not an ordinary first-order top grade.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, these two talismans..."
She turned her beautiful eyes and said in surprise.
"This is made by the eldest lady. I rarely leave the market, so I won't be able to use it if I keep it on my body."
Lu Changan said in a relaxed tone.
As a first-level high-grade talisman master, Mu Xiuyun can theoretically refine it, but the probability is relatively low.
A first-level high-grade talisman is equivalent to an ordinary spell strike in the late stage of Qi training.
Top-quality products, the power of magic is comparable to the peak of Qi refining. Even if it is not as good as the secret killing move and top-grade magic weapon, it is still a great help for the later stages of Qi refining.
"Fellow Daoist Lu's thoughts will be kept in Siyao's heart."
Zhao Siyao looked dignified, curtsied and her fairy skirt rose and fell.
She guessed that this was a life-saving talisman given by Lu Changan's future wife, Mu Xiuyun.
For Lu Changan to be able to give this as a gift, it’s very affectionate!
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, take care on the road."
"Friend Lu Dao, there is no need to send it off again."
Before leaving, the elegant and cold Fairy Zhao looked back at Lu Changan.
To be continued...
