Chapter 564 Recruiting Talented Individuals Without Being Bound by Conventions
Yun Xiao couldn't help but turn to Lu Zheng beside him, his eyes asking if Lu Zheng should lend a hand.
Lu Zheng could also see that the man and the insect were locked in a stalemate, and if this continued, it would easily result in both of them being injured.
If Bai Chan is unable to successfully refine this silkworm, it wouldn't be appropriate to make any trade with the Bai clan.
This barbarian girl isn't a bad person; it wouldn't hurt to lend a hand.
Lu Zheng thought for a moment, then took out the Imperial History Bamboo Slip and Dong Hu Brush, and wrote a poem on the bamboo slip. Immediately, it shimmered with light.
With a light tap of his finger, Lu Zheng sent out an invisible aura of poetry and culture.
A wisp of vital energy existing between heaven and earth was drawn in and directly entered Bai Chan's body.
I urge Heaven to rouse itself once more and send down talents without regard to convention.
The essence of heaven and earth flowed into Bai Chan's body, giving her a jolt and making her feel that her energy and spirit had been elevated to a higher level.
Bai Chan had no time to think further and immediately focused on refining the silkworm.
Yun Xiao clicked his tongue in amazement and whispered, "Who did you learn this skill from?"
A single line of poetry can directly elevate a person's aptitude, though the improvement may be small, it's not something that can be done casually.
"Enlightenment?" Lu Zheng said. "I just suddenly remembered a line of poetry I had learned, so I decided to give it a try."
Yun Xiao raised an eyebrow and said, "You can do it so casually? But you should use it less often in the future, as it can easily damage your own luck."
"Have it?"
Lu Zheng didn't realize he had suffered any losses; at most, he had only depleted some of his righteous energy.
Yun Xiao said leisurely, "Doing too many things will naturally bring consequences. If everyone showed off their skills, like you constantly enlightening others, wouldn't the world be in chaos..."
In a short while, Lu Zheng and the others noticed that Bai Chan's expression relaxed, and she had suppressed the will of the silkworm and begun to refine it for her own use.
After some time, Bai Chan completely transformed the silkworm into her own Gu worm.
The silkworm remains in a coma, undergoing metamorphosis within its cocoon, and will not emerge from it for some time.
"call……"
Bai Chan opened her eyes, exhaled a long breath, and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
She looked at the white silkworm cocoon in front of her, and a look of joy appeared on her pretty face.
Immediately, Bai Chan stood up again and bowed to Lu Zheng and the others, "Thank you for your help earlier, young master..."
When she was fighting against the will of the silkworm just now, she clearly felt that a power belonging to Lu Zheng helped her, otherwise she would not have been able to refine and subdue this silkworm Gu King.
When Bai Chan first came to the Forbidden Land of Burial Dragons, she never imagined that she could refine such a powerful Gu King. She still feels like she's dreaming.
Yun Xiao smiled and said, "Alright, tidy up this place and then leave."
There are also many insect and beast corpses around, which can be sold for a good price as materials.
Qingwan quickly cleaned up the corpses.
Bai Chan put the silkworm cocoons into a specially made insect bag, and only needed to wait for the silkworms to wake up.
Yun Xiao ascended the sacrificial altar and activated the grand formation again, restoring the area to its original state.
Qingwan asked curiously, "Daoist Master, didn't you say that the formation here has another use? Why don't you give it a try?"
Yun Xiao said, "We can also offer sacrifices to the heavens and pray for blessings to receive the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, I don't have any offerings, and we're afraid we can't afford the baptism that comes down in this place..." Qing Wan thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.
Yun Xiao added, "There should be some secrets hidden underground, but I feel it's not worth investigating. There might be some kind of protection down there. Maybe we can come back again when we have more time and are better prepared."
This altar has been abandoned for so many years, yet it still draws dragon blood mist from underground. No one would believe there's no secret beneath it.
Unfortunately, they were not well prepared. Even Qingyi, who had reached the Tongxuan level, could not detect anything, so there was really no need to take the risk.
Lu Zheng didn't care much when he heard this; he still understood the principle of acting within one's capabilities.
Qingwan pondered, "In the future, we will go to other places to train. Daoist, since you live nearby, if you dig up any treasures here first, you must save some for us."
Yun Xiao couldn't help but laugh and said, "You little rascal, alright, alright, I'll save it for you."
Amidst laughter and conversation, the group left the underground sacrificial site.
When we got outside, it was already bright daylight and the sun was shining.
Qingyi then sealed off the passage, concealing it.
Bai Chan's eyes darted around as she pondered how to tell her clansmen what had happened here. Should she reveal the details of the sacrificial ceremony? But then she felt that was inappropriate.
Yun Xiao noticed Bai Chan's unusual behavior and said calmly, "You can tell your people what happened here. However, I still advise you not to be greedy and throw your lives away."
"I don't know how powerful your tribe is, but no matter how powerful you are, you shouldn't be as powerful as the witchcraft clan that used to occupy this land."
Upon hearing this, Bai Chan quickly replied, "Rest assured, Daoist Master, if any of my clansmen wish to explore this forbidden area, I will persuade them not to trespass here."
Bai Chan paused for a moment, then invited, "Why don't you gentlemen visit our Bai clan? I haven't paid you for the business yet."
Qingwan smiled and said, "Don't you not welcome outsiders where you are?"
Bai Chan said softly, "I will explain to the clan leader and the others, and I believe they will welcome you."
Seeing that Lu Zheng and the others had no objections, Qing Wan agreed, "Okay, but we still want to wander around here a bit more."
Bai Chan thought to herself that these people really treated this forbidden area like some kind of playground.
Seeing this, Bai Chan expressed her willingness to accompany her. In any case, she had already gained a Gu King, which meant she had completed her training, but she was not in a hurry to return to the tribe.
If we follow Lu Zheng and the others to explore this Burial Mountain more, we can share some of our experiences with our clan when we get back.
In the future, when young people from the tribe come here for training, they will be able to avoid more dangers.
So the group went to places they hadn't been before.
The Burial Mountain Range was rather quiet during the day, with few poisonous creatures to be seen.
Lu Zheng and the others guessed that the commotion caused by the kings of insects and beasts had made them hide and lie low in the mountains.
As Bai Chan followed Lu Zheng and the others deeper into the forbidden area, she also found some rare and precious medicinal herbs.
However, in Lu Zheng and his companions' eyes, these medicinal herbs were just highly poisonous elixirs, of no use to them, and they had no interest in collecting them.
However, Bai Chan still insisted that these medicinal herbs belonged to Lu Zheng and the others, and that she would give them a corresponding benefit later.
After all, without Lu Zheng and the others, Bai Chan wouldn't have been able to gather these medicinal herbs so easily.
If she were alone, she would definitely be carefully guarding against all sorts of poisonous insects in the mountains, instead of leisurely strolling around enjoying the scenery like this.
