Taichu Temple, the inner gate of the library.
Luo Qi was immersed in the classics as usual, and occasionally took out a blank jade slip and wrote some insights into it.
The elder in charge suddenly arrived in a hurry and called Luo Qi's name as soon as he stepped through the door.
Luo Qi put the classics back on the shelf and hurried over.
"Elder, what's the matter?"
The elder in charge: “I’ll give you a task to do.”
She grabbed Luo Qi's hand and put a storage ring into his palm.
"Here are some ancient books and classics in our collection. Because they are very old, the recorded historical materials are no longer applicable today. There are still some materials that cannot be verified and are difficult to distinguish between true and false, so they have not been circulated to the outside world. All you have to do is to be careful. Read them to see if there is any information about this kind of creature."
With that said, she put another jade slip into Luo Qi's hand, and then said: "It may not completely match the characteristics. As long as there are some similarities, write it down and tell me."
Luo Qi nodded and directly checked the contents of the jade slip without asking any further questions.
The elder in charge didn’t care whether she heard it or not, and complained vently:
"I'm exhausted these days. I stay in the library all day long and look up classics. Alas, there are so many books in the library that my consciousness can't bear. In fact, this is not within the scope of your duties, but there are really not enough manpower in the door now. A few days ago, I went to Qin Dao Hall to arrest Elder Liu to help. Yesterday, I went to Mingyi Pavilion to arrest two disciples on duty. They were still busy. That’s why I asked you to help me. If you contribute some money this month, I will give you a subsidy. …”
"Um?"
A soft voice of question interrupted the elder's eloquence.
The elder in charge looked at Luo Qi's frown and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something unclear?"
Luo Qi shook his head, stared at the jade slip, and said, "I have seen a written description of a monster that is somewhat similar to this kind of creature."
The elder in charge was overjoyed when he heard this and asked anxiously: "In which classic did you see this?!"
Luo Qi raised his head and glanced at the elder, with a look of hesitation on his face.
"It's not our sect's classics, it's... someone else's collection."
After saying that, she pursed her lips and remained silent.
The elder was stunned for a moment, then turned his eyes and seemed to understand something. He smiled lightly and said, "It's okay. It's not important. I won't ask. You just need to tell me what that monster is."
With these words, Luo Qi breathed a sigh of relief. She nodded slightly and said calmly:
"A long time ago, there was a kind of demon insect called a cave ant. This kind of demon insect has a chance of mutating, but the chance is very small. The mutated individual is called a cave ant. The cave ant has the same magical power. It can connect two spaces and transmit information. For transporting living animals, the limits of transport distance and carrying capacity are unknown. In history, only two cave worms have existed. Later, the cave ants died, and the cave worms became extinct.
Jing Yingrong had already noticed the chaotic changes in her mind. When Jijiebi asked about it, she said, "It wasn't you who broke it."
Jiyanzhu and Jishajian stopped making noise now.
The chaos of thoughts expanded to a certain extent, and then suddenly collapsed inward. The spirituality contained in it seemed to be undergoing some kind of transformation, exuding a vast and exciting aura.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Jing Yingrong observed attentively, for a long time, and said with uncertainty: "It should be..."
She paused, seeming to consider her words.
"……incubation."
Sanling: "..."
Time passed unknowingly, and the strange aura that filled the sea of consciousness suddenly disappeared, and a new spiritual consciousness was born from the chaos.
Just like a hatchling that has broken its shell and eats the eggshell, this spiritual consciousness absorbs the remaining thoughts when it first comes into the world, making itself more mature and complete.
Then, it conveyed a confused emotion to the spiritual consciousness reflected in the mirror, and then, a clear and unfamiliar voice sounded in the sea of consciousness:
"mirror?"
Jing Yingrong was silent for a moment and said, "It's me."
"This is the Sea of Consciousness? Do you have a human body?"
"Um."
The spiritual consciousness was silent for a few breaths and said: "That's great."
Ji Yanzhu couldn't help but said: "Is it really the spiritual consciousness of Wu Sheng Jian? It turns out that this is the experiment you mentioned about Mirror, so it seems to be a success!"
"Um."
The spiritual consciousness seemed not to notice the three spirits at all, and directly asked the mirror:
"Where is Li Chengkong?"
Jing Yingrong: "His life has expired and he is no longer here."
"..."
The spiritual consciousness seemed to be in a daze, and after a while he came back to his senses and murmured: "It turns out that so long has passed."
It spun around in place, then suddenly emerged from the sea of consciousness and explored its own body.
At this moment, the spiritual consciousness in Wusheng Sword is being chopped into pieces by the sword's intention.
It didn't come close, as if it was watching the life and death of another self in the world.
After a while, it returned to the sea of consciousness, and it was extremely excited.
"I've actually become so much stronger!"
Its reaction was completely beyond the expectations of the three spirits. Ji Yanzhu asked in confusion: "Aren't you angry at being treated like this?"
"Angry? Well, I feel very angry every time I get chopped. It hurts too much." 1
Lingshi replied, then changed the subject: "But I am a Zhenpai Taoist weapon, and my mission is to protect this sect. The stronger I am, the more stable this sect will be. Compared with my feelings, my Being strong is more important.”
Ji Sha Jian: "You won't be unwilling?"
"I was very reluctant when I was chopped."
Jijiebi: "So, even if you are angry and unwilling, in pain and uncomfortable, you are still willing to be killed again and again to become stronger in this way?"
Lingshi simply answered "Yes" and added: "This method was only used with my consent, and only the masters of the past generations are qualified to use it."
A strange silence spread in the sea of consciousness.
Jing Yingrong's expression looked a little strange at this moment.
The spirit consciousness was completely unaware of the atmosphere in the venue and said in a serious and solemn tone:
"Mirror, thank you. The current leader is too strong. I die too quickly every time. It has been a long time since I had a chance to take a good look at my true body. This time I finally found out how far I have progressed."
Jing Yingrong: "...You're welcome."
Spiritual Sense: "I'm going back. I don't know if I will surpass you one day in the future. I really hope I will have the opportunity to compete with you in the future, hahahahaha——" 1
It laughed and left the sea of consciousness, entered the main body, and was struck by the sword in the next moment. 1
The silence in the sea of consciousness is a little deeper. 1
