"Using a woman's body to nurture Gu Poison Worms while extracting the amniotic fluid to nourish the flesh mushroom, it's simply killing two birds with one stone, hahaha."
Chen Mo's fists clenched beneath his robe sleeves, voice low, "So those women outside who are asking for children aren't truly pregnant but just vessels for cultivating the Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect?"
"Correct." Xuanzhen said, "This amniotic fluid is more nutritious than flesh and blood, and since it belongs to the Yin essence, it's easier for the spiritual lingzhi to absorb. It's expected to fully mature tonight, and by then the Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect should also be ready."
"In this way, it can fulfill the Master's orders and also help Master Yin reshape his body."
"It's funny, really. Although not naturally conceived, the mother still wholeheartedly nourishes, delivering all the nutrients to the Gu Poison Worm... Tsk tsk, mortals truly are foolish."
Listening to Xuanzhen's endless mockery, Chen Mo lowered his eyelids, seemingly trying to restrain something.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and said, "The Master over there can't wait anymore, the Xuan Armor Guard may rush up the mountain at any time. You hand over these... vessels to me first, and I'll transfer them to a safe place, then decide what to do after the situation calms down."
"This... alright."
Xuanzhen hesitated for a moment and then nodded, "But before that, there's still an important task to do."
"What is it?" Chen Mo asked.
"Although Master Yin's body has been reconstructed, it's ultimately refined postnatally, making it difficult to achieve perfection, and future cultivation might be affected."
Xuanzhen stared at him without blinking, his expression gradually turning ferocious, "I see your root bone is quite good, extraordinarily gifted, perfect and flawless, why not lend it to me?"
Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, then chuckled with a knowing smile, "So you figured it out long ago, yet you put on such a long show for me?"
"Otherwise, how could I lure you down? Making a move outside would be too conspicuous; if it attracted the Princess, it would be a disaster." Xuanzhen said loudly, "Elder Shi, the man is already brought here, what are you waiting for?"
Chen Mo looked around, but didn't see anyone else appear.
However, in the next moment, Xuanzhen's skinny body seemed to inflate like a balloon, directly bursting his Daoist robe. His muscles twisted in a bizarre posture, as if pieced together randomly.
The skin on his chest protruded, torn apart from the middle as a tentacle emerged, gripping his body, constantly crawling outward.
Finally, with a "thud," fell onto the ground.
?
Chen Mo twitched the corner of his mouth, "Is this what you referred to as... Elder Shi?"
It was a strangely shaped creature, entirely pink, its skin covered in mucus, eight tentacles with suction cups waving, a massive head bearing a dozen closely packed eyes, resembling a—
Mutant octopus?
Previously, he had learned from Ye Zi'e that there was a Grandmaster Realm elder beside Yin Tiankou, which should be this creature.
"Tch, making a fuss, immortality has many forms, there's no need to stick to a human shape."
Xuanzhen said to Elder Shi, "I've fought against this boy; roughly, he's at the level of a Third Grade Martial Cultivator. Together, we can ensure his capture."
Elder Shi fixed his dozens of eyes on Chen Mo, his voice sharp and piercing, "Did you kill our sect protectors, and the thousands of followers in Tiannan?"
Chen Mo nodded slightly, "More or less."
"Alright, then prepare to die!"
Elder Shi's tentacles writhed, his figure vanishing in a blink, suddenly appearing behind Chen Mo, moving faster than the eye could follow!
He opened his gaping mouth, with sharp teeth lining three layers of his mouthparts, intending to swallow half of Chen Mo's body whole!
Yet Chen Mo seemed completely unaware, standing still without evading.
"I thought he'd be stronger, turns out it's just—"
Crack—
With a crisp sound, Elder Shi's teeth shattered outright!
He let out a scream, forcibly enduring the pain as he retreated, his eyes full of shock.
"So hard?!"
