Xiao Ming Should Be Male
"From this perspective, the efficiency is quite good."
After giving all his disciples a drink, Lu Changzhi nodded in satisfaction.
Almost everyone's level of understanding improved significantly.
All things considered, even though my level is far higher than theirs, I can still feel a significant improvement.
"At this rate, after a few more pulls, he'll be able to reach the Mid-stage Transcendent Realm."
I've been quite busy.
I was just about to take a break.
Lu Changzhi suddenly remembered that there was still one thing he hadn't dealt with.
It wasn't about the futon; he planned to give that away once he had accumulated some of the Origin Spirit Liquid.
The matter that hasn't been dealt with yet is Black Tortoise's egg.
It's been sitting in my backpack space, and I haven't found a specific place to start cultivating it.
Whether it's a sacred beast or an ordinary demonic beast, raising it requires certain conditions.
Eggs hatched by egg-laying monsters can hatch using the conditions created by the mother monster.
However, without a mother animal, the only option is to create the necessary conditions.
Thanks to his Erudite, Lu Changzhi knew these things.
"It's not very stable in the ruins, so let's leave it in the courtyard."
After thinking it over, Lu Changzhi made up his mind.
Ever since we learned about the spatial fluctuations, the backyard hasn't been a good place to go.
Back in the courtyard, on a whim, Lu Changzhi took out the Black Tortoise Egg.
Xiao Ming, who was sleeping soundly on a sunny day, suddenly perked up and looked at the Black Tortoise egg in Lu Changzhi's hand.
"Chirp chirp."
Xiao Ming called out twice, Lu Changzhi looked over, his expression slightly strange:
"I don't get the feeling you're welcoming a future partner."
As Lu Changzhi spoke, he saw Xiao Ming raise his paw to draw.
A short while later, a simplified diagram appeared.
Below is a wavy, raised line, and above is an oval shape containing an egg.
Lu Changzhi glanced at it and couldn't help but facepalm.
Although it's abstract, the meaning is still easy to guess when you consider Xiao Ming's shining eyes.
"You little glutton, this isn't for eating."
"These are meant to hatch; nothing can go wrong."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming chirped, clearly losing interest.
At this moment, Lu Changzhi had a sudden thought and tentatively asked:
"Xiao Ming, you're a sacred beast too, how about I lend you this egg to hatch for a while?"
As soon as he finished speaking...
"Chirp--"
Xiao Ming's voice had clearly changed a lot; his little wings fluttered, and his body trembled slightly. Lu Changzhi couldn't understand what he was trying to say.
There was still a bit of dissatisfaction in it.
Then, with a flash of light, Xiao Ming transformed into a streak of red light and left the courtyard.
"It seems this method won't work."
Lu Changzhi scratched his head:
"Judging from his appearance, Xiao Ming should be male."
Just then, a cloud of dust rose up in the distance.
A single glance.
Gu Chen's house suffered another undeserved disaster.
Put the Black Tortoise egg down.
Lu Changzhi called out:
"System, can you lend a hand?"
As soon as he finished speaking:
"Yes, Master."
Then, the system voice sounded:
"Purchase the egg-hatching formation, costing 2100 experience points?"
"Um?"
Lu Changzhi's expression shifted, and he murmured:
"Are you not allowing freebies this time?"
The system remained silent.
"Buy."
Lu Changzhi spoke up.
As the experience points were lost, the system notification sounded again:
"Use?"
"Use."
As the voice faded, a beam of light shot out, enveloping the Black Tortoise egg in front of them.
Then, the light covered the area where the Black Tortoise egg was located.
Clearly perceptible, there were crisscrossing forces on the ground, extending downwards into the earth.
A short while later, the light faded.
In its place, there is now a deeper pit.
The Black Tortoise egg was found deep underground.
Should the decorations be aesthetically pleasing?
The system asked again.
Lu Changzhi was somewhat surprised.
This comprehensive service even includes decoration and beautification.
After the selection, light condensed and eventually transformed into several stone slabs with carved patterns, which surrounded the pit in the middle.
I glanced at it.
For some reason, he felt like he was at a wishing well.
As for the Black Tortoise egg, it seems to be from that wishing well...
Shaking his head, Lu Changzhi didn't continue thinking about it.
It's a sacred beast, after all.
I glanced at the formation's description.
It's very simple and easy to use.
Simply throw in the necessary resources; you only need to feed them yourself. The formation will take care of the hatching process.
A thought crossed my mind.
One hundred Source Water Spirit Crystal appeared in front of Lu Changzhi, as he raised his Lu Changzhi and pointed.
The Source Water Spirit Crystal covered the Black Tortoise egg.
"I'm done with my work, I can go and rest now."
Content, I took out my little chair and basked in the warm sun.
The next few days passed relatively peacefully.
Inside the ruins, the gang led by the Iron-Armored Brown Ape is working hard to produce supplies.
Mu Fan was also calmly pondering the new inheritance he had acquired.
Aside from Xiao Ming and Gu Chen, who occasionally get into fights.
On Hidden Origin Peak, a peaceful and serene scene unfolded.
Beyond Hidden Origin Peak.
Perhaps it refers to something outside of the Five Symbols Sect.
The situation was by no means peaceful.
Within the Eastern Region, some unusual movements have occurred again.
However, they have already dispatched relevant elders or patriarchs to investigate.
The Eastern Region today are no longer what they used to be.
The Azure Cloud Sect exists in name only, like an empty shell used to mark a territory.
The Flower Spirit Sect, because of the water-filled rift valley beneath them, is now occupied by the Black Eagle Army, so it can be said that they have no sect to return to.
The Vast Heaven Sect seems to be in much better condition.
However, it is said that those in charge now are all powerful figures from the Dongfang Clan.
On the contrary, the Aid the Azure Gate, taking advantage of the terrain, remained relatively quiet.
However, its contact with Buddhist Order can be described as being as close as if they were one body.
Now, if there is any change in the Eastern Region, all the powerful figures from the other regions who are staying Eastern Region will set off to go there.
Outside the Eastern Region, the situation is not as chaotic as it is in the Eastern Region.
Most of the various factions were also quite busy.
After all, the unusual activity was not limited to the Eastern Region.
Within the spheres of influence of various powers, there have been varying degrees of unusual activity.
Among them are many traditions or relics hidden deep underground, which reappear in the world as the ground cracks open.
Of course, not all of it is a good thing.
There was a place where an unusual phenomenon occurred, and many cultivators rushed there.
However, a poisonous miasma appeared. Many people gasped in horror at the sight of the miasma, and when they realized what was happening, their faces changed drastically, but it was too late. In the end, they turned green from their foreheads to their toes.
Even so, some cultivators came to collect and refine the poison, turning it into a unique opportunity.
In short, there are both good and bad aspects.
But people all have a certain feeling.
With frequent anomalies, opportunities and crises abound, and the world is indeed quite different from what it used to be.
Deep underground, in places few humans are capable of exploring, there seems to be much more hidden.
Now, it seems as if some unseen force is driving them, causing them to sprout up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
This claim gets more and more far-fetched the more it's discussed.
Until, suddenly, a rumor began to circulate.
Soon, great fortune will reappear in the world from Land of the Four Directions.
Those who are favored by fortune may achieve unparalleled status, or even defy fate.
