After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 922 The Beads in the Purple Mansion, the Strange Events at the Corpse Eye Pool!
He recounted the entire incident to Chen Yang in one breath.

Chen Yang frowned upon hearing this.

Was it the blood moon lunar eclipse last night?

I just checked the association forum, and many people there saw the lunar eclipse, and quite a few people even improved their cultivation, but no one seems to have achieved anything like Huang Can.

But speaking of discomfort...

Chen Yang also felt unwell last night, but he was physically strong and had profound cultivation. After circulating his true essence for several cycles, he was able to get rid of the discomfort. He felt fine when he went down the mountain this morning.

Were you the only one who felt uncomfortable?
Could it be that this guy also had an epiphany last night?
Chen Yang asked him for the specific details of what happened last night.

But it doesn't quite seem like it.

The feeling of sudden enlightenment is very special. Huang Can is not stupid. There is no reason why he would not realize it after experiencing a sudden enlightenment.

He did witness the lunar eclipse last night, and his cultivation level did indeed increase somewhat, but he did not experience any sudden enlightenment.

Huang Can shifted uncomfortably, hugging his arms as if he were very cold. "Chen Yang, am I about to break through?"

Chen Yang shook his head. "Where's your Fire Silkworm?"

"I don't know. It stopped responding to me when I woke up this morning, and I can't contact it anymore..."

Huang Can took another sip of hot tea, his teeth chattering.

"Open the gate to the Qi Sea."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang immediately frowned.

This guy is a liar; he didn't tell me such important information, and I had to ask him myself.

Given his condition, it's unlikely he's breaking through to the Creation Realm; it's probably a problem inside his body.

It might be related to last night's lunar eclipse, but the problem most likely lies with the fire silkworm.

We'll have to see what the specific problem is before we know.

Huang Can didn't say much, he simply closed his eyes and opened the gate to his Qi Sea.

Chen Yang directly used his primordial spirit power to search through Huang Can's body, and then looked towards the Qi Sea Gate.

After searching for a long time, I still couldn't find the Fire Silkworm.

This guy, he probably lost the Fire Silkworm again.

This fire silkworm used to reside permanently in his dantian.

"Do not use your internal energy, do not put up any resistance!"

Chen Yang gave another instruction.

Huang Can obeyed and did as instructed, and the flow of internal energy within his body noticeably slowed down.

Chen Yang carefully observed the flow of energy in his meridians.

He quickly discovered something suspicious.

The internal energy within the meridians is slowly flowing towards the Purple Palace (a point on the lower abdomen).

How could this be?
This discovery startled Chen Yang.

You should know that the Purple Mansion is where essence and vital energy are stored.

What flows into the Purple Mansion is essence and energy. Only after the essence and energy are refined into qi in the Qi Sea will they transform into internal strength. Even if it is reversed, and qi is transformed into essence, it will still be transformed into essence and energy in the Qi Sea and then flow back to the Purple Mansion.

How could internal energy go directly into the Purple Mansion? Wouldn't that turn the Purple Mansion into a Sea of ​​Qi?
strange!
Chen Yang immediately instructed Huang Can to open the gate to the Purple Mansion, as the problem might lie within Huang Can's Purple Mansion.

After Huang Can did as instructed, Chen Yang directly probed in with his primordial spirit power.

Inside, everything was shrouded in mist.

Chen Yang quickly realized that something was wrong.

The misty substance is not vital energy, but internal strength.

Or rather, only a small portion is essence, while the majority is internal energy from the spiritual realm.

What's going on? Has the Purple Mansion really turned into the Sea of ​​Qi?
Or perhaps this guy and Jiang Xiao'e have been messing around lately, exhausting their energy and causing kidney deficiency.

Deep within Huang Canzi Mansion, there was a cluster of white, eye-catching energy.

Chen Yang used his primordial spirit to probe the area, and through the turbulent currents, he saw an oval-shaped red cocoon floating in the turbulent currents.

The red cocoon was the size of a baby's fist, slowly rotating and absorbing the surrounding energy, like strands of silk thread connecting the cocoon.

Have the fire silkworms spun their cocoons?
Seeing this, Chen Yang was slightly taken aback, and his primordial spirit probed into the red cocoon.

Inside the cocoon, a bright red silkworm is coiled around a bright red bead.

bead?

Chen Yang was somewhat taken aback.

The bead was red, like a flame burning, and Chen Yang sensed a very strong fire attribute aura.

The fire silkworm had coiled up the entire bead and had entered a state of slumber.

What kind of bead is this? A fire silkworm bead? I've never heard of fire silkworms spitting out beads.

Chen Yang knew that centipedes could spit out pearls, but there was no record of fire silkworms spitting out pearls.

Moreover, this bead was larger than the Fire Silkworm, and it was crystal clear. It didn't seem to be naturally formed; Chen Yang felt that it was more like it was artificially crafted.

He examined it carefully.

This fire silkworm is now dormant and is absorbing the energy of the bead to complete its metamorphosis.

The energy of this bead was absorbed by the fire silkworm, so it naturally had to make up for it. Thus, it began to absorb Huang Can's energy, which should be the reason why Huang Can felt uncomfortable.

The silkworm spinning its cocoon signifies a metamorphosis and breakthrough.

This fire silkworm was obtained by Huang Can from Liu Changqing. It was already at the Spirit Realm at first, and now, having been reborn through its cocoon, it is bound to enter the Creation Realm.

Huang Can's physical stats fluctuated, probably because the fire silkworm was about to break through.

The lesion has been roughly identified.

Chen Yang withdrew his primordial spirit power.

"How is it?" Huang Can asked hurriedly.

Chen Yang explained the situation to him.

"It's formed a cocoon? What will happen then?" Huang Can only had a superficial understanding of cultivation matters.

"I should break through to the Creation Realm before you."

"So what?"

“I should have told you before that your relationship with this fire silkworm is symbiotic. You help it, and it helps you. Before this, it was always helping you. Now that it wants to break through, it's your turn to help it…”

"How...how can I help it?"

"Of course, it's to provide him with energy. The Fire Silkworm needs a lot of fire-attribute energy to break through. It seems that even after spending so much time with this Fire Silkworm, you haven't reached the point of perfect harmony. If you were truly in sync, it would have expressed its desire to break through to you beforehand, so you could prepare in advance..."

……

Huang Can's expression changed slightly. "I did sense it, but I always thought it meant I was about to break through to the Creation Realm. However, my realm hadn't reached that level, and it was impossible for me to break through, so I didn't take it seriously until after the red moon last night..."

Chen Yang's face was full of black lines.

"It has already tried its best to remind you that last night's red moon was just a trigger. These spiritual beings on the verge of breakthrough will not let this opportunity pass. It can't wait for you any longer. In addition, you have a bead in your body with abundant fire attribute energy, so it disregarded everything and directly absorbed the bead's energy to break through..."

"However, it probably didn't expect that while it was sucking the beads, the beads were also sucking you in. Fortunately, the speed at which it was sucking the beads in couldn't keep up with the speed at which the beads were sucking you in, otherwise you would probably have been drained dry!"

……

Chen Yang's words sent a chill down Huang Can's spine. "That dangerous?"

"It's more than just dangerous."

Chen Yang shook his head. He needed to teach him a lesson, otherwise this guy would really think cultivation was so simple. "You and it have a symbiotic relationship. When it needs you the most, if you can't satisfy it, do you think it will still care about you? At worst, it will drain you dry and remarry, finding someone who can satisfy it to partner with..."

Huang Can looked embarrassed upon hearing this, "Then what should I do now?"

"Simple, just satisfy it. I have some fire jade ore here. Once it has absorbed enough, it will naturally let you go. However..."

"But what?"

"You and this fire silkworm should ideally progress side by side. It's currently ahead of you, having entered the Creation Realm first. Once it reaches the Creation Realm, it will certainly bring you many benefits. However, if it starts demanding things from you, you might not be able to afford it..."

"Then how?"

Huang Can's face was full of pleading, and the situation seemed a bit tricky.

Chen Yang said, "I'll give you acupuncture later to see if I can seal the Fire Silkworm and slow down its breakthrough. You also need to spend more time cultivating yourself and try to catch up as soon as possible, ideally breaking through at the same time as it..."

"it is good."

Upon hearing that there was a solution, Huang Can nodded immediately.

He went inside and began acupuncture. Half an hour later, the acupuncture was finished, and Chen Yang tossed him a bag of fire jade ore. He took two pieces, held them in his hands, and absorbed them for a while. Sure enough, his condition improved, and some color returned to his pale face.

"Alright, now tell me, what's going on with this bead in your Purple Mansion?"

After washing his hands, Chen Yang inquired about the bead inside Huang Can's body.

That bead was clearly something foreign.

"This one……"

Upon hearing this, Huang Can's expression turned awkward for a moment, as if there was something he found difficult to say.

With Chen Yang's help, he had just examined his inner sanctum and successfully saw the fire silkworm that had already formed a cocoon, as well as the bead that the fire silkworm was holding.

"What, is there something you can't say?" Chen Yang raised an eyebrow.

"no……"

Huang Can chuckled dryly, "A few days ago, Xiao'e and I went to Lingyun Mountain. On the way, we met a friend who said he was a disciple of the Northern Emperor Sect. He said he felt we had a connection and wanted to introduce me to the sect. At first, I thought he was a fraud, but then he conjured lightning right in front of me, and he was incredibly cool..."

"However, I was still a bit wary while traveling, so I didn't agree to his offer at the time. He took out a bead, saying it was some kind of Fire Cloud Bead, and wanted to give it to me. It should be the bead I have in my Purple Mansion now, but I didn't take it..."

"That night, we had dinner together, and it got a bit late. Xiao'e went home first, and I ate with him until late into the night. We drank some alcohol, and we drank quite a bit..."

"When I woke up, the person was already in the hotel. It was almost noon the next day, and I still hadn't seen him. I drank a lot the night before and completely blacked out. I can't remember what happened that night, but..."

When he got to this point, his voice lowered, and he was clearly a little embarrassed.

But under Chen Yang's gaze, he found it hard to speak, but he finally did, "Although I have some memory lapses, I remember having a dream that night. I dreamt that I was relieving myself in the woods, and no matter what I did, I couldn't get out, and I kept crawling further in..."

Chen Yang's face twitched, as if he had realized something.

Huang Can chuckled dryly, "Plus, when I woke up the next day, I was lying face down, and my pants were only half pulled up. I was so angry I thought that guy had done *that* to me, and I didn't dare tell anyone. But now it seems that he probably put this bead inside me that night..."

At this moment, Chen Yang really wanted to know how to stop himself from laughing.

His lips twitched slightly as he went through all the saddest things in his heart, trying hard not to laugh.

"Laugh if you want," Huang Can said, his face full of embarrassment.

"cough."

Chen Yang coughed lightly. "I'm sorry to have gone through this, but you're right. This bead goes into the Purple Mansion, so going through the back door is definitely the most convenient way..."

Huang Can's forehead was covered in black lines.

"What's the name of that disciple from the Northern Emperor Sect you mentioned?"

When Chen Yang mentioned the disciples of the Northern Emperor Sect, his first thought was Ke Shaohua. He hadn't seen Ke Shaohua since Rao Jiang.

However, Chen Yang had no idea how many disciples of the Northern Emperor Sect were out training.

Huang Can suppressed his embarrassment and said, "This man is called Xie Xiaofeng. He is tall and strong, about the same age as me, and looks very heroic. In particular, his eyebrows are very thick and almost connected into a line, making him look like a Taoist priest with one eyebrow."

"Xie Xiaofeng?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang's eyes flickered slightly.

The name sounds somewhat familiar.

When Fang Xueting was ambushed by a disciple of the Northern Emperor Sect in Yuzhou, she sought help from Wang Yuanchao and others in the association to find information about the other party.

Later, the information that Wang Yuanchao and his team found out seemed to be about a disciple of the Northern Emperor Sect named Xie Xiaofeng.

But when Chen Yang met Ke Shaohua later, he naturally assumed that Wang Yuanchao and the others had made a mistake and that it was actually Ke Shaohua who did it, and Ke Shaohua himself did not deny it.

So, there really is a disciple of the Northern Emperor Sect named Xie Xiaofeng?

"You know him?" Huang Can asked quickly.

Chen Yang shook his head. "He only invited you to join the Northern Emperor Sect, right?"

Huang Can nodded and asked, "What kind of sect is the Northern Emperor Sect? Is it very powerful?"

"It's a hidden sect. I'm not sure exactly how strong it is, but its foundation should be no less than that of Emei..." Chen Yang said.

"So strong?"

Huang Can was slightly taken aback. "Then I missed out on a hundred million?"

"Ah."

Chen Yang said, "The Northern Emperor Sect acts tyrannically and doesn't have a good reputation in the cultivation world. Who knows what his intentions are in leaving this bead in your body? Don't always think the best of things; think about the worst. What if he really covets your beauty…"

"Screw you……"

Upon hearing this, Huang Can's face turned bright red. "I'm a real man, I don't fall for that kind of thing. If this guy dares to show his face in front of me again, I'll smash his dog head in..."

……

Huang Can left, having resolved the underlying health issues, and drove his new car home to show off.

Chen Yang sat on the sofa, took out his phone, looked through his contacts, and dialed a number.

I don't know if I can get through to Ke Shaohua on the phone.

He and Ke Shaohua became friends after a fight. Apart from being a bit stubborn, hot-tempered, and domineering, Ke Shaohua didn't have any other flaws and wasn't a bad person at heart.

Making friends with people like this is a hundred times better than dealing with those who like to be shrewd and calculating.

The phone rang a few times before being answered.

"Chen Yang?"

Ke Shaohua's voice came from the other end of the line quickly. He was clearly a little surprised that Chen Yang would take the initiative to call him.

"I have something to ask you."

Without any formalities, Chen Yang got straight to the point and recounted the whole story to Ke Shaohua.

His main goal was to find out if Xie Xiaofeng actually existed in the Northern Emperor's faction, what kind of person he was, where Huoyunzhu came from, and what his intentions were towards Huang Can.

After listening, Ke Shaohua was taken aback for a moment, then said, "What you're talking about, Senior Brother Xie told me about it. We meant no harm; we simply saw him as a promising talent and wanted to attract talent for the sect. We just didn't expect him to be your friend..."

"The Fire Cloud Pearl is a treasure of our sect, containing a large amount of fire elemental energy. Senior Brother Xie said that when he saw that your friend's Fire Silkworm showed signs of a breakthrough, he was afraid that your friend would be injured and waste his talent, so he gave him the Fire Cloud Pearl..."

……

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow after hearing this.

Is that how it is? The other party was just trying to be kind?
Ke Shaohua's words still carried some weight with Chen Yang.

"Since it was a good thing, why didn't you explain it to him clearly at the time?" Chen Yang asked.

Ke Shaohua said, "Senior Brother Xie received the sect's decree and rushed over to join us. He probably didn't have time to explain. He's right next to me now. Would you like him to tell you himself?"

"No need!"

Chen Yang shook his head. After all, he didn't know them. What was the point of asking them to talk to him?
"Where are you all? Have you come to Sichuan?"

Once the matter was clarified, Chen Yang began exchanging pleasantries with Ke Shaohua.

"Ah."

Ke Shaohua responded, "Something came up, here in Dawa Mountain..."

"Dawa Mountain?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang raised an eyebrow. "What's going on with Dawa Mountain?"

Ke Shaohua said, "A few days ago, we came to Dawa Mountain while chasing down some remnants of the Gu God Sect. By the way, I heard from the Tong family that there were people on the mountain raising wandering masters. Did you eliminate them?"

"Well, what happened?"

Chen Yang answered crisply.

Ke Shaohua's voice was somewhat serious, "Perhaps the mess wasn't cleaned up properly. When we came here, there was a Corpse Eye Pool on the mountaintop. Those remnants of the Gu God Cult all went into the Corpse Eye Pool. Evil energy was billowing from the pool, and we didn't know exactly what was going on down there. We didn't dare to act rashly, so we called for backup. Last night, with the red moon, the evil energy in the pool was probably even stronger..."

Chen Yang frowned upon hearing this.

When he left Dawa Mountain, he felt that things were not over yet, but at that time there was no way to verify it, and everyone could not stay in Dawa Mountain indefinitely, so they had no choice but to leave. It would be best if nothing happened, and if something else happened, they could find a way to solve it later.

"Do you need any help?" Chen Yang asked.

Ke Shaohua said, "It shouldn't be necessary for now. We have a grandmaster at the mid-stage of the Dao Realm who should be able to keep things in order. We'll take him to Corpse Eye Pool for another on-site inspection later. After we've dealt with things here, my senior brother and I will come to Lingjiang to find you and also to see your friend..."

……

The two chatted briefly before hanging up the phone.

Dawa Mountain, Corpse Eye Pool?
Chen Yang sat on the sofa, his brows slightly furrowed.

There were once three wandering warriors and hundreds of rampaging soldiers in the Corpse Eye Pool, but they were all wiped out that day.

Is there anything that has been overlooked?

If I remember correctly, those wandering soldiers and rogue troops were remnants of the Pingtian Sect.

The remnants of the Gu God Cult went to the Corpse Eye Pool in Dawa Mountain, which was obviously for a purpose. Could there be some undiscovered secret in that pool?
