Main Text Chapter 88 Hatching the Dark Egg (I)
Zheng Jinlong's matter was settled, and the Blue Jade Sect was also settled. Without any worries for the time being, Miao Yi could finally focus on cultivation.
But before that, he had one more thing to do. He had just taken over Donglai Cave and had to reorganize it. He had no time. Now he had time. He planned to try the mantis eggs he got with Lao Bai in Wanzhang Hongchen last time according to Lao Bai's instructions.
On a day just after dawn, Miao Yi told Qian'er and Xue'er to stay outside and not let anyone come in to disturb him. He hid in the quiet room alone to prepare. There was no other way, because Lao Bai said that this secret method should not be passed on to others!
As soon as the large piece of insect eggs was taken out, the temperature in the room seemed to drop a little. Holding the insect eggs in his hands was like holding ice cubes.
Miao Yi said, "It's really a freak!"
He carefully peeled the insect eggs out of the mucous membrane one by one, and placed a hundred black insect eggs as big as quail eggs on a jade plate.
He took out another knife and held the blade in his left palm. He held the handle with his right hand and pulled it. The palm of his left hand was immediately covered with blood.
His bloody palm quickly turned over and stroked the eggs. Lao Bai had told him to cover each egg with his blood and wrap it with his blood. There should not be any blank space. The blood should be used to separate the yin and yang of the eggs. At the same time, it was also to allow the eggs in the fetus to feel his breath from the beginning of incubation.
After spending some time to make each egg turn black and red, he carefully confirmed that there was no mistake, and then spread out the bound bun and pulled the hair from his head.
This was also the secret method that Lao Bai told him. The hair must be complete, without any broken hair, and there must be roots. He said that since the eggs were to be hatched, the fate could not be broken.
This time, there were hundreds of hairs. After careful screening, more than a dozen hairs without roots were useless. He pulled them from his head repeatedly several times before he had a hundred intact long hairs with roots.
The roots of hundreds of long hairs were stained with the blood in the left palm, and hundreds of hair tips were held in the palm together.
As soon as the spell was cast, the hundreds of long hairs immediately became hard like cow hair needles and split apart like hedgehogs.
The hand holding the hundreds of long hairs was suspended above the jade plate, and the spell was aimed at each insect egg in the jade plate, and it was pierced directly.
The skin of the insect eggs was not hard, but it was extremely tough and smooth. It took a lot of effort to pierce the skin of the insect eggs with hundreds of bloody hair roots and pierce into the insect eggs.
This method is called the line between the two realms of yin and yang in Lao Bai's words.
Yin is the dark egg, and yang is Miao Yi. Miao Yi's hair is the line of connection between the two, so that the hatched dark mantis can communicate with him and accept his control.
The reason why Miao Yi pulled out his hair and mutilated himself and bled was that he hoped that one day he could control the terrifying guy like the dark mantis.
Although he didn't know how powerful the Dark Mantis was, even after he became a cultivator, he could feel that he had no power to fight back against the Dark Mantis.
Almost at the moment when hundreds of long hairs were inserted into the Dark Egg, the hundreds of long hairs quickly transmitted a piercing coldness. It was not pure coldness, but the feeling that seemed to have an illusion in an instant, as if he was instantly in the netherworld, making the soul tremble.
This strange feeling made Miao Yi fall into a trance in an instant. Gradually, his soul seemed to be floating around in the netherworld without sunlight!
For ordinary people, this situation means that the soul is not at home, and there will be big problems.
Fortunately, the 'Star Fire Art' he practiced played a huge role at the critical moment. As soon as the source of the law that he had worked hard to cultivate in his body was eroded by the cold power, it immediately rebounded and operated itself. A warmth quickly expanded to the whole body, sweeping the cold power out of the body in an instant with a lightning speed, and it could not be desecrated, and it was extremely domineering.
Miao Yi shivered violently and quickly woke up from his confusion. He immediately found that a layer of frost had condensed on the surface of the hundreds of long hairs.
"My goodness, these ghost eggs are so weird that they can make me lose my mind!" Miao Yi exclaimed twice.
He is now more and more looking forward to what this thing will look like when it hatches.
He calmed his mind and carefully recalled the mental method taught by Lao Bai. He grabbed hundreds of long hairs with five fingers and began to silently guide the magic power along the hundreds of long hairs into the hundreds of ghost eggs, using secret methods to apply them.
In less than half an hour, Miao Yi opened his eyes and collected the magic power, and the hand holding the hundreds of long hairs loosened.
Under his skills, the hundreds of long hairs that had already melted the frost quickly spread out from the roots.
He didn't know if this would work, but he did it anyway according to Lao Bai's instructions.
He turned his palm and summoned the Xinghua Immortal Grass from the storage ring. He pursed his lips and blew a small ray of star cloud from the immortal grass to the wound on his left palm. The bloody wound healed immediately at a visible speed.
After recovering as before, Miao Yi looked at the immortal grass in his hand and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing. He was really lucky. At that time, the Nether Mantis actually hung a Xinghua Immortal Grass from the mortal world. If it weren't for this immortal grass, it would be a bit troublesome to hatch the Nether Egg.
The reason is that according to the secret method of Lao Bai, the Nether Egg must be covered with its own fresh blood every day for 9981 days. During these 9981 days, there can be no interruption, otherwise all the previous efforts will be wasted.
In other words, he had to shed blood 81 times and cut himself 81 times in a row. If he wasn't lucky enough to get this immortal grass, it would be uncomfortable for a cultivator to cut and bleed every day, not to mention a mortal!
After washing the blood off his hands in the flowing hot spring pool, Miao Yi turned around and took the jade plate out of the quiet room.
Qian'er and Xue'er, who were waiting outside, were a little curious when they saw what she was holding in her hands. What was the black and red thing with white hair in the plate?
No matter what it was, Xue'er took the initiative to reach out to help Miao Yi get it.
Maybe Miao Yi was used to ordering them around, so he handed it to her. Just as he was about to say a few words, he found that Xue'er's face turned pale in an instant, and she trembled while holding the jade plate, and the jade plate slipped from her hand involuntarily.
Fortunately, Miao Yi reacted quickly, dragged the jade plate, and grabbed Xue'er's arm who was leaning and falling.
He also reacted and realized that he was negligent. The things in the jade plate were extremely yin, and he almost got hit. Ordinary people couldn't bear it at all.
However, the skills he practiced were extremely effective in resisting yin energy. He quickly cast a spell into Xue'er's body and instantly swept away the yin energy that had invaded her body.
Xue'er, whose eyes rolled back, finally came to her senses, but her vitality had been damaged by the Yin Qi in an instant. She still looked a little weak as she stood there, and her face was still pale.
