The Dao Ancestor's Severed Finger, the Nine-Eared Grain Seedling
Hundred Lands Mountain Range, the Land God Temple of Gao Village Town.
This is the control center of the [Mystic Garden Barrier], and the permanent residence of the witch Nü E.
When the great moon appeared and the stars shone brightly, Nü E was the first person in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range to notice it.
Of course, to be more precise, Nü E had already realized this and knew that this scene would happen sooner or later.
"They arrived faster than I expected!"
With a long, soft sigh, a look of desolation appeared on Nü E's face.
"Whether it was fast or slow, this huge weight has finally been lifted."
Gazing at the same scene of countless Star Gods descending their radiance, Panhu, with his dog's head and human body, sat cross-legged, his expression unusually calm. As the only dragon-dog in the world, Panhu was undoubtedly the king of dogs in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
Although he gradually fell behind the Dao Ancestor in the later stages, he never neglected his cultivation.
To this day, although Panhu has not yet achieved the state of "Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness," he has successfully crossed the Divine Gate in terms of physical cultivation.
Especially in terms of physical strength, Panhu cultivated the [Heaven and Earth Dharma Form] supernatural Divine Ability. Once activated, even Dao Proving One wouldn't be able to kill him in a short time. "So, in your hearts... I'm just a boulder!"
Without a sound, the air in front of the two suddenly rippled slightly.
Accompanied by Li Boyang's teasing voice, his figure quickly appeared in front of the two.
Along with Li Boyang, a Nüman also appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, on Nü E's shoulder.
"What time is it? Why are you still so unprofessional?"
Just like when they first met many years ago, Nü E's voice was filled with nostalgia and reluctance.
It was as if she was completely unaffected by the subtraction and emptiness process, and still remembered every expression and every movement of Li Boyang.
After all, Nü E liked was never the identity of "Dao Ancestor," but rather the "Red Boy" who seemed to be born from the essence of heaven and earth. Li Boyang was obviously also surprised by this.
This point becomes particularly clear when compared to the Nüman and Panhu.
The Nüman's predecessor was the Spring God sealed within a human body by Wu Yao, and she was also the one who initially guided Li Boyang to read and write.
Panhu was Li Boyang's comrade-in-arms who fought alongside him against Ghost God and gods and resisted floods before Li Boyang rose to power.
In terms of cause and effect, although the connection between these two men and Li Boyang wasn't deep, they were definitely the unavoidable "initial cause."
However, due to their varying strength, these two had long since lost their impressions and memories of the Dao Ancestor.
Even the Nüman, who possessed countless incarnations, could only vaguely remember that "the Dao Ancestor was Li Boyang," and could recall much more. "Leaving in sorrow is not my style, and besides, I will return."
With a slight upturn of his lips, Li Boyang then turned his gaze to the barbarian Nüman on her shoulder and said seriously.
"You have shown me the kindness of enlightening my mind and wisdom, and have also managed the immortal herbs and Elixir of Immortality for many years. Therefore, I leave you my understanding and knowledge of herbs." "At the same time, I leave you a severed finger to help you distinguish the toxicity of various herbs."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Boyang's ring finger broke off naturally.
Along with his knowledge and understanding of herbs, it all transformed into a short, crimson whip that fell into the hands of the Nüman.
The short whip, formed from her ring finger, wasn't very long, just the Nüman warrior, and it seemed exceptionally light in her hands. "Vermilion Whip?"
The Nüman couldn't help but pronounce the name of this short whip, and at the same time, she gained the wisdom and ability to distinguish all kinds of herbs.
Even with herbs and plants he had never seen before, a single, gentle lash with his whip was enough to instantly discern their medicinal properties, toxicity, and temperature. "Panhu was Five-Colored Dragon Hound who fought alongside me to slay ferocious demons and evil gods, and to control devastating floods. While achieving numerous victories, he also suffered many hidden ailments, making his path to Dao Proving hopeless."
"Now I leave my Body-Protecting Gang Qi to you. From now on, cultivate your inner energy and defend against powerful enemies."
In the blink of an eye, a surge of vital Yuan Qi erupted from Li Boyang's body.
Immediately afterwards, the primordial Yuan Qi transformed into a tangible golden bell that enveloped the Panhu, continuously converting external primordial Yuan Qi into Black and Yellow Qi that the gourd could absorb.
Nourished by the Black and Yellow Qi, Panhu could clearly sense that many hidden ailments and diseases within his body were disappearing.
Moreover, as more and more Yuan Qi flowed into his body, Panhu himself underwent a complete transformation.
"A complete transformation" is not just an adjective here, but a perfectly apt description.
The body becomes stronger, the skin becomes firmer, and the Qi and Blood become more vigorous...
Panhu even felt that his simple breathing was exhaling scorching heat, just like the breath of a giant dragon.
One by one, the Golden Bell of Creation bestows a complete transformation!
"Is it my turn?"
Watching the transformations that occurred in the Nüman and Panhu.
There was no envy in Nü E's eyes, only an indelible sadness.
Because she knew that accepting the Dao Ancestor's gift meant severing the karmic ties between the two of them and the Dao Ancestor.
After the two awaken, they will inherit part of the Dao Ancestor's karma and deeds, and then completely forget the Dao Ancestor's existence.
The Nüman will replace Li Boyang as one of the researchers of the Elixir of Immortality, becoming a divine being who, along with Xiluo and Lord Lingguang, researched the peaches of Peach of Immortality. Panhu will become the founder of the great achievements of slaying the Ghost God You Xiao, repelling the Gods of the Five Directions Roaring Heaven Clan, and killing the great demon Wuzhiqi. "What do you want?"
"Talent, Divine Ability, Law Treasure, imperial edicts, status, position, even the Dao Path..."
"Whatever you want, as long as you ask, I can make it happen for you."
Unlike his casual attitude towards Nüman and Panhu, Li Boyang asked Nü E very seriously.
"That sounds really good, like a magic wish-granting machine."
Nü E did not answer Li Boyang immediately; she simply smiled with a hint of helplessness.
"Unfortunately, you can't give me what I truly want, can you?"
After gazing intently at Li Boyang one last time, Nü E finally revealed her wish.
"I am neither a god of the past nor an immortal of the future, but a shaman who lies between the two..."
"Behind me stand Hundred Lands Mountain Range, the common people, all living beings, and all ordinary people who want to live."
"So if you truly want to sever the karmic ties between us, then help me fulfill this wish and let me inherit the human heart you have as a ' Mountain Folk '!"
After listening to Nü E's request, Li Boyang pondered for a long time before slowly opening his right hand.
In that right hand, several golden ears of rice were encircled by the [Heaven and Earth Ring], as if boundless vitality was being nurtured within them.
However, this is far from enough.
Li Boyang gently sliced open his chest with his left hand, then extracted a drop of golden blood from his beating heart. "My heart... I entrust it to you."
As Li Boyang whispered, golden blood dripped into the few ears of wheat.
"Nine-Eared Grain Seedling, imbued with the essence of heaven and earth, are not picky about soil type and require no spiritual spring."
Even when planted in the most barren rock crevices and scorched earth of slash-and-burn agriculture, it can still grow into golden ears of wheat ten feet tall against the wind.
"One stalk bears nine ears of grain, each as large as a pearl. Those who eat it will strengthen their muscles and bones, and be free from all diseases."
"Most importantly, when combined with the Xirang, it can be planted in one day, sprout in two days, and ripen in three days, thus eliminating hunger throughout the world."
