An Obsession with Completing the Set from Blue Star
"Joke."
Mu Fan seemed to have calmed down as well, and shook his head with a smile:
"We've been together for so long, how could I bear to...?"
Bang!
A muffled explosion suddenly rang out from inside Xiao Ming's body.
It was visibly noticeable that Xiao Ming's belly suddenly swelled up.
Puff--
Burp~
Xiao Ming opened his mouth and spoke again:
Hey, nothing's wrong!
"Grass!"
Mu Fan glared fiercely at Xiao Ming:
"Adults don't hold grudges against chicks, I'm too lazy to argue with you today!"
After speaking, Mu Fan turned to look at Lu Changzhi and said:
"Master, why don't you plant some in the ground for me too?"
Lu Changzhi chuckled and reminded him:
"Planting is possible, but we can't guarantee the results, nor can we guarantee how good or bad the results will be."
Xiao Ming, on the other hand, developed abs from the treatment.
But if you were to grow soft pectoral muscles above abs on Mu Fan, it might just give him depression.
"I'll think about it some more."
Mu Fan understood the implication and immediately shook his head.
At this moment, Gu Chen also returned to the ground.
His right arm has been restored to a normal arm position.
"I didn't expect Senior Brother to have such a hidden trick up his sleeve," Qin Li remarked, looking at him.
"A lucky break," Gu Chen said with a smile.
Qin Li seemed to have thought of something and said:
"Is this an Azure Dragon for you?"
Gu Chen shook his head:
"I must thank Master again."
Lu Changzhi remained calm and composed.
They've gotten used to it now. In the eyes of these disciples, everything other disciples get from the system is of dubious origin.
They took all these blames upon themselves, helping to cover up their lies.
"Understood."
Qin Li nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Since it's related to our master, there's no need to worry too much about it.
Perhaps, that Azure Dragon has already come.
But perhaps, the promise of the Azure Dragon to grant people the ability to Dragon Transformation Technique was a lie from the very beginning.
"Oh, right."
Qin Li looked at Xiao Ming:
"Senior Brother Gu has already mastered the art of human transformation. Have you mastered the art of human transformation?"
"To become human?" Xiao Ming lowered his head slightly, as if deep in thought.
After a moment, he said:
"Simple."
At that moment, an aura surged from within Xiao Ming's body, enveloping him.
Seeing Xiao Ming like this, Qin Li, though she already knew it, still couldn't help but sigh again:
"With Master by my side, there's truly nothing that can't be mastered quickly."
As time went by.
Sure enough, Xiao Ming's body began to change.
Its claws were no longer what they used to be; they had transformed into a size 27 bare foot, pure white and lustrous, like a piece of unpolished jade.
But that's all.
Xiao Ming stopped, and the bird's beak let out a soft breath:
"No, this is the only way. It doesn't seem as simple as I thought."
After saying that, he looked down at his feet.
Then, I tried walking a couple of steps on the ground.
Perhaps it was because I wasn't used to these kinds of feet, but these few steps were both difficult and quite interesting.
"It doesn't work, it doesn't work at all, I'm giving up, let's switch back... Ugh, how do I switch back?!"
Looking at Xiao Ming, who was deep in thought, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
It has to be said that Xiao Ming's growth during this period has really exceeded his expectations.
"Perhaps, this really is because it was planted in the ground?"
Lu Changzhi made his own guess.
After all, based on experience, the later a system or reward comes, the more complex it tends to be.
Jin Fugui started farming quite late, by all accounts.
"Let's go check out the Black Tortoise egg to confirm."
After thinking for a moment, Lu Changzhi got up and left, heading to the spot where the Black Tortoise egg was planted.
Digging away the soil, I saw the buried Black Tortoise egg.
Lu Changzhi's expression shifted slightly.
"Is that really the case?"
The surface of the Black Tortoise egg now has some special patterns compared to before, and its aura has become more weathered, giving it an even more ancient feel.
I probed into it with my mind and sensed it briefly.
"It seems there's no need to simplify this process; it should hatch soon."
After saying that, Lu Changzhi buried the soil back up.
"Now we have the Black Tortoise, the Azure Dragon White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird Black Tortoise, and the Vermilion Bird. We're still missing one related to the Vermilion Bird."
After a moment of contemplation, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but think:
"How about we try to get a Vermilion Bird?"
The Vermilion Bird is a bird, Xiao Ming is also a bird, but there are still some differences between them.
As a native of Earthly Dao, I have some thoughts about the four great treasures: the Blue Star, the Azure Dragon White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Black Tortoise.
"Now that we have a certain status, it's not entirely unreasonable to give it a try."
"If that doesn't work, we'll just fool one."
After thinking for a moment, Lu Changzhi suddenly came to his senses and said:
"System, what about the rewards for the other disciples' tasks?"
I've been thinking about this for so long.
After all, the reward hasn't arrived yet; what if it doesn't?
Unfortunately, there were no surprises this time.
In fact, as for the reward itself, Lu Changzhi felt it was far inferior to Mu Fan's reward, and even inferior to the reward Gu Chen received.
Luo Ling'er received a fist technique as a reward. Two fists, one real and one feint, were thrown out one after the other. If the real fist could not break through the physical defense, the feint would be even more powerful, aiming to attack the mind and break through the mind's defense.
Qin Li's mission reward was an item called "White Tiger Token." According to the description, this token was related to the fate of the White Tiger Clan and a promise made by the White Tiger Clan a long time ago. Holding the token would grant the White Tiger Clan's protection.
Xiao Ye's mission rewards, while relatively plentiful, were mainly items. Although these were quite substantial for Xiao Ye's current level, they were still somewhat lacking for Lu Changzhi.
Jin Fugui's mission reward consisted of only one seed. This seed was peculiar, called the Seed of Severed Earth. When planted in one place, it could plunder the spiritual essence of that area. If planted to its extreme, even the Dao could be severed. It would then form a seed that could be easily taken away.
Zhong Ming obtained a rather unique cultivation technique that allowed him to transform into a skeleton, just like a dead person. Unless one's cultivation level is significantly higher or one's perception is sufficiently sharp, it is easy to mistake one for a dead person. Living people are hard to hide, but dead people are often not worth noting.
In response, Lu Changzhi asked the system about it.
The system explained that because Gu Chen and Mu Fan's tasks were different from those of the other disciples, the levels of rewards were also different.
"From this perspective, the mission situation is quite important."
Lu Changzhi said softly, not dwelling on the matter too much.
After all, the amount of effort these disciples expended in completing those tasks was quite limited.
It's practically free, so why bother about whether it's good or bad?
After taking out the White Tiger Token, the boxing manual, and the seed, Lu Changzhi summoned the three of them.
"One for each of you, take it back and figure it out."
Lu Changzhi waved his hand, and three objects appeared before the three people.
Qin Li stared at the White Tiger Token suspended in mid-air before her, her gaze complex, as if recalling something. After a long while, she finally spoke and asked:
"Master, this is... a token of the White Tiger Clan?"
Lu Changzhi nodded and smiled:
"Excellent, very knowledgeable."
After he finished speaking, Lu Changzhi noticed that Qin Li seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
"How?"
Upon hearing Lu Changzhi's question, Qin Li took a deep breath:
"Master, I'm afraid I won't be able to use it."
"Oh?" Lu Changzhi looked surprised.
Why do you say that?
Qin Li hesitated slightly, unsure of how to explain these things, or even whether she should explain them at all.
After all, the fact that I couldn't use this thing was something from my previous life.
And now, in this life, it has appeared before my very eyes, and it was even created by my master.
I was just thinking about it.
At this moment, Lu Changzhi suddenly said:
"Let's talk about it later."
Then, the cyan disc given to him by Liu Duanyuan appeared in Lu Changzhi's palm.
"You've only been back a short while, and you're already spying on me?"
