Wet viviparity

Chapter 62: Family Background, Yellow Millet Dream
As a centipede monster, it doesn't need to do it itself to reproduce. Otherwise, even if Ji Ming wanted to, it would be difficult to deal with a centipede.

Inside the body of the male centipede, there is a structure called a copulation bag, which stores essence. The copulation bag can be directly excreted from the body and then picked up by the other party.

The rest is left to the mysterious creation of the furnace of life.

Inside the medicine cauldron, the blood jade centipede that had been unsealed from the Shi Ling box had begun to recover its vitality. It was crawling around restlessly inside the cauldron, and its pair of poisonous hooks were drawing sparks on the cauldron wall.

Ji Ming lay on the cauldron, constantly waving his tentacles to convey information and soothe the blood jade centipede inside the cauldron.

After throwing his delivery bag into the tripod, Ji Ming closed the lid and began to do self-psychological counseling.

After all, it was the first time he did this. Even if no one knew about it and it was all for the future, he still felt awkward and uncomfortable on a psychological level.

This Blood Jade Centipede was refined by Chiyi Langjun, and may have a connection with Chiyi Langjun. After its successful breeding, it must be immediately placed in the Shiling Box and allowed to sleep in the box to survive the breeding period.

Ji Ming guarded the medicine cauldron for two days and nights, and finally saw that the Blood Jade Centipede was unable to curb its reproduction instinct and began to contact the mating sac.

It can be seen that the blood of this centipede fairy is the same as that of the iron-backed centipede. Its body is stubborn and difficult to refine. However, compared with the green and yellow centipedes that Ji Ming caught himself, it is much better.

It is said that centipedes take several weeks to several months to reproduce, so it seems that he will have to release them regularly to feed them in the future.

In the cave, taking advantage of his free time, Ji Ming began to check his two bags. Now was the time for him to take inventory of his assets.

The two bags in his hands, one was obtained from Yu Xiao, and the other was obtained from a Taoist in Wanghuo Tower. Both were from cultivators who had reached the Qi Cultivation Stage.

There were quite a few miscellaneous items in Yu Xiao's bag, such as the poison pills he had refined, as well as notes on the Scorpion Heart Ceremony and the practice of the Colorful Cloud Poison Hand.

Unfortunately, there are no specific secret skills here.

Ji Ming now thought about why he was only thinking about the Scorpion Heart Ceremony at that time and did not let him reveal the Panku Secret Skill at the same time?

It seemed as if he was just thinking about seeing this poisonous skill so that he could verify it with the crane-controlling skill he had learned.

In his subconscious, he believed that he should specialize in one subject, so as to avoid wasting his energy by learning one subject and then slacking off in the other.

Yes, energy. Ji Ming believes in high efficiency, even though he has a precious eye and theoretically has unlimited time.

Another point is that the crane-controlling skills that he learned were left by the Taoists in Taiping Mountain.

At that time, he was thinking about focusing on studying this secret skill. If he were to be reborn as a human in one of his lives and had the good fortune to join Taiping Mountain, it would be beneficial to his personal development.

In fact, if practiced well, one can quickly achieve great success in the first life as a human being, and then it will be much smoother to cultivate the next step of magic.

Ji Ming himself did not expect that the opportunity to join Taiping Mountain would come so quickly.

He couldn't help but think of Wen Daoyu's pair of crane wings. Could it be that the next step in the crane-controlling skill is to train the arms to transform into a pair of crane wings that can be transformed at any time?

Ji Ming thought of Chi Yi Lang Jun's Snake Fairy Tail again. Could it be that the so-called magic skill cultivated from the secret skills was to absorb the monster's body for his own use?

No, it shouldn't be that simple.

Ji Ming once felt the flames emitted from the tail of the Scarlet Snake Fairy. It was fleeting, scarlet and hot, as if everything was ablaze.

That was not the power from the snake fairy, but the magic of Mr. Chiyi.

"Crane View!"

He thought to himself.

Gathering his thoughts and turning his attention back to the things in Yu Xiao's bag, there was no need to elaborate on the things inside, such as the illustrated book of the Large and Small Zhoutian Talismans and so on.

There weren't many miscellaneous items in the Taoist's bag, just some wooden needles for detoxifying, three Buddhist scriptures, a few sets of Taoist robes, a cassock, and so on.

Apart from these, there are some that are not often used but have certain value.

Like that old peach wood sword, paired with a cassock and beads, it has almost become an indispensable prop for his daily pretense.

There are also three talismans for food and refining. Actually, the incense and candles used for refining and feeding the three ghosts have been almost used up. If one wants to drive them away again, one can only use these three talismans.

The two armor and horse talismans are for traveling, but the problem is that he has so many "legs", how can only two be enough?

Oh, right, Ji Ming remembered the two remaining breath-holding talismans he had, which he crumpled into a ball while hiding at the entrance of the cave and threw into his bag at random.

After climbing out of the cave, Ji Ming carefully spread the two breath-holding talismans and the armor-horse talisman on a stone slab, and carefully examined the lines on them that looked like dragons and snakes. As his eyes swept over the two wrinkled breath-holding talismans, Ji Ming felt inexplicably sad.

After all, I have some skills in Taoism, which is unique in Hengshan area. If I give up my freedom, I don't know how many monks will "kneel down and lick" me in Panku Mountain. How come I am like a rag collector now?

Ji Ming believes that the future will be bright, and all he needs to do is walk on the right path.

Outside the cave, Ji Ming observed the two kinds of talismans for a while. Different from Hu Tuer's niche and unpopular "puppet show", alchemy and talisman making are popular Taoist arts.

If you have this skill, you can be successful no matter where you are.

However, Taoist art has always required a lot of money, energy, and time, and learning it may not necessarily bring commensurate rewards.

Ji Ming wrote down Daoyi's matter for the time being, and then looked at other important assets.

A bead was spit out and rolled on the stone slab.

Its matte bone surface was tinged with green, and it looked slightly larger than when it was first refined.

This is what unconventional magic weapons do. They can temporarily increase the power of the magic weapons step by step through blood, flesh, ghosts, negative thoughts, evil energy, etc.

And if the White Bone Heart Bead rolls around in the heart, its power will be increased by one point.

So far, the Heart-Savering Pearl has been in the warm hearts of many people or monsters, so its improvement did not surprise Ji Ming.

Ji Ming had always wanted to completely refine the White Bone Heart Bead and complete the last step of refining the weapon: "consecration." However, this last step was not easy.

Consecration can also be called blessing or inviting dharma, and its meaning is like the finishing touch to a painting, giving the instrument a bit of spirituality, so that it can be done as I wish.

The best way to consecrate a ritual is to invite the gods from heaven who match the ritual instrument to enlighten and bless it.

Such a magical weapon, also known as a treasure weapon, may be able to break free from its original shackles and leap forward to possess great potential to become a magic weapon.

The general practice is to invite the gods of mountains, rivers, and earth, or ghosts and gods from the underworld, to consecrate it.

Ji Ming happened to know those two earth gods, but unfortunately, neither Bonni Gong nor the Golden Lion Ape conformed to the principles of the White Bone Heart Pearl.

Of course, Master Bonni has disappeared. Even if he had not disappeared, Ji Ming would not dare to invite him. After all, the secret of refining the Heart Pearl came from him.

According to the Treasure Refining Technique, the White Bone Heart Bead should be consecrated by inviting a ghost or god from the underworld, so that it can be compatible with this magic weapon.

If conditions permit, you can also invite gods from other religious sects to consecrate the deity.

Ji Ming moved the green bead, thinking about the ghosts and gods in the underworld that were recorded in the books he had read about. They all seemed difficult to talk to.

Thinking for a long time was useless, so Ji Ming put away the white bone heart beads and took out a jade pillow from his bag.

This should be his biggest gain in recent times, a pillow that allows him to fall asleep.

Entering dreams to refine the mind, this is actually similar to the function of one's own precious eyes.

Ji Ming consulted Wen Daoyu and learned that the Huangliang Pillow was about experiencing another life in a dream to temper one's mind, while his own Treasure Eyes was about direct reincarnation in reality.

Neither of them needs to go through the mystery of being in the womb.

Ji Ming gently stroked the jade pillow, and the smooth jade surface reflected his tentacles and mouthparts.

Ji Ming knew very well that his precious eyes concealed a huge problem, a problem that he subconsciously avoided at the moment.

When he anchors on a certain life and continuously makes progress in his spiritual practice, does that mean that he has completely given up on the golden finger of the Precious Eye?

In his heart, he had originally put this issue aside for the future, when he would be more powerful, more experienced, and more ambitious.

When he saw the Huangliang Pillow, he knew that reincarnation was not unique to Baoyan, which meant that he did have the opportunity to transform Baoyan's reincarnation mechanism.

This undoubtedly gave him great confidence.

Artificially expanding the capabilities of the "Eye of Wet Egg Transformation" and expanding his golden finger, this is the ambition that Ji Ming should have.

Unconsciously, Ji Ming was so absorbed in his thoughts that he did not notice that the jade pillow actually shone a precious eye within the spiritual altar, and the word "transformation" slowly emerged.
