Chapter 91: Hatching Dark Eggs (4)
Since it was effective, then it was worth cutting his flesh and bleeding out again.
Miao Yi looked forward to the day when over a hundred Hell Mantises were at his beck and call,
so without another word, a knife flashed out from his storage ring and as though he was
bleeding someone else out, he did not feel pained in the least as he cut open another bloody
opening on his palm, immediately painting every dark egg with fresh blood once more.
He used the immortal herb to again heal the wound on his palm, then held the bunch of hair
strands in his hand, and invoked the secret art taught by Lao Bai to excite the dark eggs.
Once he was finished, Miao Yi brought the jade plate outside, and the ice that had formed on the
hairs instantly disappeared in a wave of black smoke once again as it came in contact with
sunlight.
After he placed the jade plate on the astronomical platform, Miao Yi nimbly descended and
reminded Qian’Er and Xue’Er of their duties once more, before going back to his silent quarters
to continue cultivating.
Besides certain important affairs, Miao Yi had entrusted Yan Xiu to handle daily matters, and
had everyone reporting to Yan Xiu if they needed to. He gave Yan Xiu a great authority, almost
as if he was the housekeeper for East Arrival Cave.
To Yan Xiu, who was previously disdained by everyone in Transient Light Cave, this was a
treatment that was as different as heaven and earth.
Furthermore the entire East Arrival Cave knew that the Cave Master was in closed door
cultivation, and wouldn’t easily appear in the East Arrival Grand Hall, so if there wasn’t
anything important, they wouldn’t go to disturb him.
In normal circumstances, as long as no one intentionally made trouble for East Arrival Cave,
nothing would go wrong.
In reality everyone was cultivating by themselves, there wouldn’t be a cultivator that would go
full it would come back and continue sleeping. It was basically too lazy to even move, really
living a life like a pig.
The two girls also familiarised themselves with Charcoal. When Miao Yi was not around, the
two of them would crouch down at Charcoal’s side whispering and playing with it, and helping
to brush Charcoal’s mane. To the side, Charcoal would respond with a sneeze, and enjoy itself
with its eyes half-closed.
This routine repeated itself day after day, and the days slowly passed.
Forty-nine days later whilst still in closed door cultivation, Miao Yi could feel the dark eggs
inside his vest had seemingly undergone an abnormal change.
The Yin energy that emanated out from the dark eggs was no longer overwhelming, Miao Yi
could feel that the Yin energy would no longer spread out, and was slowly receding.
This type of change was in line with Lao Bai’s explanations, making Miao Yi incredibly ecstatic.
He wanted to invoke his arts to examine the conditions of the dark eggs, but the arts used for
and had taken Miao Yi around three months time to finish refining them.
When he had finished refining about half of the Orb of Will taken from Head Guard Huang,
Qian’Er ran to the door of the silent quarters and called for him, “Cave Master, something has
happened to the things on the astronomical platform, there are some abnormal disturbances,
please come take a look!”
Miao Yi quickly revoked his arts and spit out the Orb of Will, tucking it away as he quickly came
out to the astronomical platform.
Xue’Er was currently crouched down and looking at the things on the jade plate with an
expression full of curiosity. Upon seeing Miao Yi arrive, she hastily stood up.
Miao Yi gave a closer look, and found that the hair strands embedded in the dark eggs had
shortened considerably.
This was also in accordance with the state that Lao Bai has previously told him about, Miao Yi
immediately invoked his arts and listened for any movements; he could vaguely hear a chewing
sound from the dark eggs going ‘sha sha’. If he hadn’t invoked his arts, then it would have been
difficult to catch this sound.
Since Lao Bai had already explained this to him ahead of time, Miao Yi already knew what was
happening, the little fellas inside the dark eggs were eating the hair that he had stabbed into
the eggs. Once they had slowly finished eating his hair, if Lao Bai’s words were correct, then it
would be almost time for the things inside to see the light of day once more.
“It’s nothing! If anything else happens let me know again.”
Miao Yi smiled while he turned around and left the astronomical platform. He entered his own
quarters under the gaze of the two girls, and continued his cultivation.
East Arrival Cave. If he were to show off this cultivation outside he would still be laughed at.
“Aye! I am the esteemed East Arrival Cave Master! I can’t be so ashamed……,” sighed Miao Yi in
melancholy.
An object akin to a powder box flashed out from his storage ring, he opened it and used his
fingers to apply the Soul Concealing Paste on his forehead, hiding away the silhouette of the
lotus flower.
