Chapter 4, Blood Worm of the Red Turtle

After a while, Yu Yuan reached out and gently pulled away the layer of solidified black goo from the old man's forehead.

In the vast and boundless world, there are three continents and numerous secluded regions. The poisonous miasma sea of Colorful Clouds, located in the northern part of the recognized Silent Continent, is acknowledged as the source of all strange toxins and peculiar insects in the world

Yin Jue hurriedly crawled and rolled away, quickly evacuating the cave, and soon disappeared without a trace

Outside the cave entrance, a faint whisper suddenly arose

The lower dantian gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the middle dantian nourishes the energy and blood life force, while the upper dantian is the root of the soul and consciousness

Do you dare to question me

How can this venomous creature be exterminated?" Ning Ji said lightly

The blue jade, as the crimson bloodlines burned, gradually shattered, its interior seemingly filled with ink, rapidly transforming from its previous crystalline clarity to a dark blue and murky state

Yu Can's high fever has subsided, his breathing is steady, and his complexion is no longer flushed and hot.

The silver-white python, with its tail seemingly connected to the peak of Mount Lu, raises its fierce and menacing head high.

My grandfather is not in a high fever-induced coma, but rather he is being attached by the Blood Insect of the Red Tortoise, and is currently being stripped of fragmented memories that are converging into the earth's soul. Yu Yuan raised his hand, pointing to the old man's brow, indicating the bloodline that is as thin as a hair, "Look, this line that looks like a bloodline is the Blood Insect of the Red Tortoise!"

The青色玉石 placed before Lü Yan's knees, with its internal crimson bloodline, burned in an extraordinarily bizarre manner

Who is it

The Chi Yuan Blood Insect is a type of venomous creature found over there, and it is also the main ingredient for refining the Soul Capturing Pill. The true Soul Capturing Pill can not only completely extract all memories gathered in the Earth Soul but also preserve its life. However, the Chi Yuan Blood Insect, due to not undergoing postnatal refinement, can only extract fragmented memories, and this insect is exceptionally hot, which can cause the absorber to succumb to heat poison and die.

There is nothing to worry about, I will go back and rest for a while. If others ask, you can just say that the old gentleman's fever is gradually subsiding and that he has woken up on his own

At the center of Yu Can's brow, a layer of black sticky substance had been smeared, and Ning Ji, smelling the pungent stench, wore a strange expression

Go back! Investigate thoroughly for me. Apart from Ning Ji, who else from the Yu family has arrived recently? Also, find out if there are any suspicious individuals lurking in the Yu family's shadows

The Yu family ... ...

The crimson bloodline is the projection of the essence of the red tortoise blood insect, formed from a drop of its essence blood. The flowing light is precisely the memory points extracted from Yu Can.

As Lü Yuan was about to execute a lethal strike, a fierce and terrifying scream erupted like that of a malevolent spirit, and the essence of the blood of the red turtle blood worm, which she had placed in her central dantian's mysterious gate, inexplicably ignited as well

Just at this moment

The python's neck is adorned with white scales resembling silver plates, exuding a cold metallic luster, while its eyes are an oily green, instilling a sense of dread.

He was afraid that Lu Yan, in a fit of anger, would take out her frustrations on him again

One silver-white venomous python shot out like a cold electric current, instantly coiling around Yin Jue's neck and tightening rapidly

He refrains from overthinking why Yu Yuan would know the secret of the Chi Yuan blood worm, a secret even he is unaware of. He only hopes that Yu Yuan, who is currently shrouded in doubts, can resolve the troubles that are troubling his old friend

"Master, had it not been for an unforeseen circumstance, I would not dare to disturb you," Yin Jue hurriedly said

Yin Jue's pleas have become intermittent

Twist

Darkmoon City, the mountains and forests outside the city

As for how much memory can be obtained, it entirely depends on how long the one being absorbed can persist without dying

Leaving behind this statement, Yu Yuan departed on his own under the unusual gaze of Ning Ji

During the incineration process, the fragmented memories that belonged to the soul of Yu Can, gathered in the blood worm of the red turtle, were scattered and then re-entered Yu Can's mind

Pung!

The Red Tortoise Blood Worm mostly originates from the Colorful Clouds Miasma in the northern part of the Silent Desolation Continent. This poisonous worm is as slender as a thread of blood, and once it attaches itself to the forehead of a living being, it has the effect of extracting the memories of the earth soul. Yu Yuan's face darkened as he coldly said: "According to what you said earlier, that Yin Jue wants to extract my grandfather's memories, and what he relies on is not his own realm, but the Red Tortoise Blood Worm!"

The Upper Dantian is the dwelling place of the three souls and the gathering place of spiritual consciousness

Continue on, for in the end, old friends will inevitably succumb, perishing from the heat of poison

Upon closer inspection, there were dozens of glaring silver-white venomous pythons slithering across his robe

"Yu Yuan is not dead. Not only is he not dead, but he has truly awakened." Yin Jue lowered his head and said softly, "He is no longer foolish; he can actually speak. Master, is there something wrong with the method you taught me? Or did you accidentally make a mistake?"

"Impossible! The Yu family could never have such a person!" Yin declared emphatically, "If the Yu family truly had such a person, would they allow me to act recklessly?"

The lower dantian of the practitioner, known as the Yellow Court, gathers and converges the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, refining and condensing it, so that after purification, it can flow throughout the entire body

That drop of essence, when ignited, was as sharp as a keen sword, piercing her mystical barrier as if it were about to tear apart

The so-called elixir refers to the twelve types of poisonous herbs that Yu Yuan requested him to collect, mixed with the corpses of centipedes, scorpions, and green bamboo snakes, resulting in a viscous and foul-smelling substance concocted in a trivial manner

Last night at the old residence of the Yu family, the atmosphere was extremely ominous. I was drenched in cold sweat and immediately knelt down, repeatedly pleading, "It must be my fault, please forgive me, Master! Please grant me a few more days, and I promise to sever Yu Yuan's head, ensuring he has no chance of resurrection!"

In his previous life, towards the end of his existence, he became immersed in the path of poison refining due to his prolonged inability to unblock his meridians through normal means

Ning Ji was unaware that far outside the city of Darkmoon, the secretly casting Lü Yuan of the Cold Shadow Sect was simultaneously suffering a heavy blow

Even the powerful cultivators of the sects on the Tianyuan Continent would not easily venture into this place, lest they provoke the Demon Palace and the Monster Hall

The paste-like black "elixir," applied to the center of Yu Can's brow, firmly covered the crimson bloodline, and miraculously, Yu Can's high fever subsided.

Ning Ji looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "You, whose earth and sky souls have awakened, are somewhat peculiar. However, I believe you would not harm your grandfather. After all, the numerous misfortunes he has suffered over the years have all arisen because of you"

... ...

Please, please...

It should be someone from the Cold Yin Sect

Yu Yuan felt a sharp pain in her heart, took a deep breath, and said: "Well then, since you trust me, help me prepare some things. I not only want to ensure my grandfather's safety, but also, with the help of the Blood Insect of the Red Tortoise, I intend to give that spellcaster a bloody lesson!"

The seated Lyu Yuan, wrapped in a deep gray long robe, suddenly had circles of silvery light appear on the surface of the garment

If it is not him, then who could it be

Lü Yuanmei frowned slightly, opened her eyes, and said calmly: "Come in."

Whoosh

The northern part of the Silent Extinction Continent is the most terrifying and frenzied place in the world, where the most sinister and malevolent Demon Palace and Monster Hall are located

It is almost ready

Ning Ji was taken aback and asked: "What is the blood worm of the red turtle? Also, how can you be so certain? And how do you know this?"

... ...

Lü Yan moved to the entrance of the cave, gazing towards the direction of Darkmoon City, feeling gloomy. "A mere Yu family, could it be hiding some formidable figure? That person from the Lin family, why must they insist on honoring the marriage contract despite the opposition? A person capable of breaking my spell and injuring me is certainly not ordinary"

Yin Jue quickly entered, curling up her body as if afraid of taking up too much space and provoking her displeasure

Yin Jue respectfully greets Master Lü

The cave is filled with a chilling and eerie atmosphere

Inside the translucent and lustrous green jade, there is a crimson bloodline. If the bloodline were magnified a hundred times, one could clearly see strands of flowing light converging from all directions within.

Ning Ji could not see, beneath the black glue covering, the thin, hair-like red leech was being burned by the dark flames under the layer of skin at Yu Can's brow.

After the practitioner undergoes the transformation of the earth soul into the shadow spirit, they become immune to the effects of the Soul Capturing Pill. They can also exit their body as a shadow spirit, infiltrate the interior of the Soul Capturing Pill, and eradicate all the enhanced red turtle blood insects within the pill. Furthermore, they use the red turtle blood insects to nourish the shadow spirit, thereby strengthening themselves and advancing their cultivation.

The Soul Capturing Pill, a type of poison pill, is capable of seizing the memories of practitioners whose Yin spirits have not yet formed, thereby unearthing hidden secrets

Ah?

What? Ning Ji lowered his head, fixed his gaze on Yu Can, and asked in confusion: "What blood worm?"

Beside him, Yu Yuan held a white porcelain bowl, which contained the so-called elixir for treating the blood worm of the red turtle, casually concocted in front of Ning Ji.

The so-called Xuanmen refers to the Central Dantian, which is a treasure ground for storing vital energy and blood, healing injuries, and refining flesh and bones, capable of directly connecting to the heart

"You worthless fool, I think it would be better if you just died." Lu Yan's expression was devoid of emotion as he watched the silver-white poisonous python constrict tighter and tighter, gradually devouring Yin Jue's vitality. "Rest assured, after you die, the Lin family will arrange for new servants to serve my needs."

I dare not

"So you think the blood at the corner of my mouth was caused by myself?" Lü Yan shouted fiercely

From colorful clouds, the miasma sea? Ning Ji was alarmed.

The Yu family in the northern part of the city

As the conversation progressed, Yu Yuan trembled slightly due to his intense anger

Crackling!

Master, please spare my life!

The crimson bloodline on the old man's forehead appeared to be drawn into the interior by that black, viscous substance, as if it were being absorbed from the flesh of his brow.

Regarding the current situation of Yu Yuan, he is indeed filled with too many confusions. This young boy from the Yu family, whose Earth Soul and Heaven Soul have awakened, exhibits numerous behaviors that are quite irrational

Kaka!

Lü Yan took out a dark red pill, exuding a rich fragrance, and swallowed it, causing her complexion to become slightly more rosy

A barren, low hill devoid of any vegetation, in the dark, backlit interior of the mountain, there is a cave carved out that can only accommodate three or four people, with the entrance largely obscured by jagged rocks.

For those below the Yin Spirit Realm, namely the five realms of Channeling, Spirit Accumulation, Yellow Court, Breaking the Mysterious, and Entering the Subtle, if they do not possess special protective techniques or spiritual tools to defend their souls, it is very difficult to escape the malevolent effects of the Soul Capturing Pill. They are often stripped of all hidden secrets, as if completely exposed, revealing all their privacy

The silver-white venomous python, reduced to a thousand times smaller, shot forth from her dantian, ultimately strangling and extinguishing that mutated essence of blood.

The awakened Yu Yuan is vastly different from the person he had seen or heard about before, truly not resembling the same individual at all

The red tortoise blood worm is clearly still extracting the earth soul memories of old friends, and the heat poison is still persisting

Leaning against the stone wall and sitting quietly in meditation, Lü Yan would occasionally glance at the fist-sized jade stone in front of his knees during the intervals of circulating his energy through one complete cycle.

"What accident?" Lü Yanqu asked.

In the Central Dantian of the Xuanmen, Lü Yuan, struck by that single drop of essence blood, experienced a disruption in his vital energy and blood, and under the sharp pain, could not help but spurt out a mouthful of fresh blood

Upon hearing that the Bloodworm of the Red Tortoise originates from the Colorful Clouds Miasma, Ning Ji immediately realized that his old friend was likely in grave danger

Within the city of An Yue, there exists a practitioner who instills fear in us all. Even I must exercise caution to avoid drawing attention. Lu Yan expressed some dissatisfaction, stating, "Just follow my instructions and do as you are told. There should be no unexpected occurrences, so do not come to see me frequently. Your cultivation level is still low, making you susceptible to being targeted, which could lead to my own exposure as well"

No

... ...

The three major dantians, if any one of them suffers a severe blow, will lead to unbearable suffering and a desire to end one's life

"Do you trust me?" Yu Yuan suddenly asked

Lü Yan hurriedly formed the spiritual incantation, and along with the one coiling around Yin Jue's neck, dozens of silver-white poisonous pythons transformed into bundles of cold, eerie lightning, instantly flying into her own central dantian

Hiss!

Isn't the spellcaster just Yin Jue

"That blood worm of the red tortoise, you have it attached to the center of Yu Can's brow!" Lu Yan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes cold as a ghost, glaring at the nearly dead Yin Jue, and said: "Are there any other formidable figures in the Yu family that you have not reported to me? The spell I cast was not only broken, but the opponent even managed to cause me to suffer backlash and injury!"
