Novel Bin Chapter 149.2
Chapter 149: Source World 1 (part 2 of 3)
A well-rounded egg could be seen behaving like a curious baby. It autonomously and energetically rolled on the ground, swiftly going around to all corners of the room. Right until it accidentally ran into a dish rack, and caused a loud and clear sound upon impact.
A huge hole had actually been created in that solid wooden shelf by it’s impact, but not even a trace of damage could be seen on the eggshell. Losing it’s support, the wooden shelf loudly toppled over. All the dishes and saucers stored in it, fell down, and shattered on the ground.
Although the Little Phoenix didn’t know how much damaged it had caused, but it also doubtlessly knew that it caused trouble. It somewhat exasperatedly rolled around the side of the broken wooden rack. But something new soon caught it’s attention, which was located on the kitchen stove opposite the dish rack.
The delectable aroma of the meat stew inside the pot on the kitchen stove wafted out. The egg swiftly regained it’s energy upon breathing in the aroma, and quickly rolled towards the kitchen stove. But being unable to stop in time, it once again rammed into the solid kitchen stove, which had inescapably been knocked a huge hole as well. This caused the lid of the pot on the kitchen stove to tilt, allowing the meat stew’s aroma to completely spread throughout the room.
The egg shook the ash off it’s body, then got up and jumped up, like a light and quick little ball, to the edge of the soup pot. The egg stood there, and inhaled with it’s non-existent little nose, then swayed with satisfaction from it’s delectable aroma.
It’s a pity that it can only smell but not eat. There’s also no way even if it’s hungry. Fortunately, it found another thing that attracted it’s attention.
On the ceramic glaze cup, there was actually an egg that looks exactly the same as it. It curiously rolled towards the front of the cup at once. It looked left and right at the egg on the reflecting surface. Tossing away the savory meat soup at the back of it’s mind, it swiftly rolled to it’s ‘same kind’ on the cup.
The ceramic glaze cup was more fragile than the kitchen stove, so the result could be imagined. The cup instantly shattered to hundreds of pieces, causing the whole egg to be practically covered with shards.
The egg suddenly fell into a slight daze, not understanding why that same kind as it suddenly disappeared. It bewilderedly rolled out from under the shards. It turned twice on the spot first, then also turned around that ceramic glaze cup’s shard pile. But still being unable to locate it’s other self it had seen before instantly made it unhappy.
The happiness from before completely faded away. The round egg then began jumping around the room with annoyance. It’s strength was truly so strong, that everything it touched would either break or shatter. Added together with this dish rack and kitchen stove, which had already been knocked out a big hole. So, by the time the guards in the house were assembled to rush back to catch the ghost, and the cook returned to the room once again. They were met with a messy kitchen, as if a typhoon had passed through, and was too chaotic to look at.
“There’s definitely a ghost in that egg!”
“Burn it to death!!”
“……”
Under extreme panic and fury, a fire was set up in the courtyard. Several guards unflinchingly caught the egg, which had stopped moving due to exhausted from playing, in a net bag, then threw it into the raging fire.
When a Phoenix bathes in fire, it’s feathers will become more luxuriant, while it’s sound turns clearer. The fire in the Secular World is nothing to the Little Phoenix at all, on the contrary, it feels like a quiet and comfortable nest. The round egg shifted left and right in the raging fire, trying to find the most comfortable place and cozily fell asleep.
When the fire was extinguished, not only did everyone unexpectedly see that the egg remain unscathed, but the multiple auspicious colors on the eggshell became even more beautiful and dazzling. Following the so-called always walking in the night, will probably meet ghosts*. Li Fujiang became even more fearful of this egg, and no longer dared to move it. He could only quietly invite a cultivator to come and handle it.
Although there were a lot of cultivators in the Secular World, but there are only two well-known Sects. Namely, the Yuxu Palace in the East Kunlun, and the Lingyun Sect in the West Kunlun. The geographical location of the Wushan county just happens to be adjacent to the Kunlun mountain. After having heard this odd story, an outer disciple of Yuxu Palace went to the senior provincial officer’s residence. Soon after becoming incredibly awestruck by the rich and pure lingqi, he unexpectedly proceeded to directly ask for it from Li Fujiang.
Upon hearing that this egg really had no ghost attached to it, but was full of spiritual energy instead. Li Fujiang immediately felt regretful. But since he also dared not rashly offend a cultivator, he could only bow and give in unwillingly.
The Little Phoenix was still sound asleep in the egg, and continued to sleep for many days. Completely unaware that it had already been given as a congratulatory gift to the Sect Leader by that outer disciple, and had become a bargaining chip for him to be promoted as an inner disciple. The Sect Leader, Yu Xuzi has been stuck in the middle-stage for 800 years. If he still fails to advance, he will experience the 5 decline of a cultivator, facing the fate of human kind like an ordinary person. After receiving this egg with unusually abundant lingqi, but unable to probe what is inside. Seeing as there aren’t any traces of seal or contract of another cultivator on the egg, he quickly decided to refine it into a pill, to help him to advance.
Thus, after waking up from it’s sleep, the Little Phoenix found itself floating on top a pill furnace. Floating side by side along with Celestial Fruits, Fan Yuan Lu and other Spiritual Treasures. The surrounding formation was very large. There were also ancient swords and mirrors inserted above the pill furnace. Located under the pill furnace is a strong talisman seal spell formation. In addition to Yu Xuzi on top, there were also disciples of various cultivation levels guarding the surroundings to assist.
Pill refinery is by no means an easy task. The higher the pill level, the more likely it is to fail. To ensure success, Yu Xuzi had practically mobilized most of his spiritual power. As soon as the very precise time for the desired heat was grasped and achieved, he pinched to set the talisman seal on fire. The raging fire inside the pill furnace surged, then the various Spiritual Treasures were thrown into the furnace in succession.
The pill furnace’s fire is naturally different from the Secular World’s fire. Although it still didn’t feel the fire’s painful burning sensation, but after finally experiencing an uncomfortably hot and stuffy sensation, the Little Phoenix subconsciously wanted to jump out the pill furnace.
Noticing the abnormality, Yu Xuzi immediately increased the strength of the spell formation. Although the Little Phoenix’s strength was inherently powerful, but it was still just a newborn egg after all, and was thus, even three times weaker than those young cubs. The pill furnace being used by Yu Xuzi was also a high-level magic treasure, so, it was actually unable to struggle free for a while.
