Chapter 16: Lingxi Horn

[Can this silly cat hide anything in its belly? ]

[And what is this thing? Is it some animal's horn?]

He watched as the exquisite rhinoceros horn fell on him.

When Li Boyang was still wondering what Xiluo was doing, he suddenly heard a childish voice.

【what? 】

【What is this sound? 】

[Why does it sound like... I'm talking to myself?]

Li Boyang instinctively opened his eyes wide, as if he realized something, and immediately turned his gaze to the civet cat in the cradle.

As expected, Li Boyang saw Xi Luo grinning and looking aggressive.

"Who are you calling a stupid cat?"

"You are a fool, kid!"

"Be careful to control your inner voice. I don't want to say this to you again!"

"This is a spiritual horn. It allows the holder to express their true feelings without opening their mouths."

"The only downside is that if you can't control your thoughts, all sorts of nonsense will pop out!"

Blinking his eyes, Li Boyang instantly understood what was going on.

However, controlling one's inner thoughts is easier said than done.

[Wait... I have to concentrate... I can't let this idiot...]

[No, mountain god...but she is just a fool...]

[Damn it... I can't even think about it...]

[If your heart is as pure as ice, you won’t be startled even if the sky falls. If your heart is as pure as ice, you won’t be startled even if the sky falls.]

When the intermittent thoughts in your mind turn into the real voice of your heart.

Li Boyang finally had no choice but to recite the "Bing Xin Jue" silently, and only then did he barely control his inner voice.

During this process, Li Boyang clearly felt that his life force was continuously flowing into the Lingxi Horn.

If it weren't for the constant supply of evil energy from the outside world.

Li Boyang felt that this Lingxi horn could drain all the life energy in his body in a quarter of an hour.

In fact, it was not until Li Boyang consciously cut off the supply of vital energy that the thoughts in his mind stopped turning into voices.

It was not until this moment that Li Boyang had time to look down at the rhinoceros horn.

This is a small and exquisite horn, pure white all over, which looks like a carved jade railing.

Inside this small horn, a thin line that is difficult to see runs through the entire horn, almost dividing it into two.

"you you……"

When Li Boyang raised his head again, Xi Luo was looking at him in shock, as if she was looking at some kind of monster.

"You can actually actively control the flow of 'Yuan Qi'!?"

For mountain gods and monsters like Xiluo, "Yuanqi" is actually a very abstract concept.

The Heavenly Gangs and Earthly Evils, the essence of the sun and the moon, and the vital energy of life can all be regarded as types and branches of "Yuan Qi".

There are lives in this world that can absorb and exhale "Yuan Qi" - Xiluo herself possesses a similar ability.

But the problem is that Xiluo has never seen anyone who can cut off the flow of vital energy as accurately as Li Boyang.

[Is this difficult? 】

Upon hearing this, Li Boyang took the initiative to transfer a strand of vital energy to the Lingxi Horn, while also controlling his brain to have this thought.

This dual-line operation is a bit difficult, but fortunately it did not stump Li Boyang.

“It’s not a question of whether it’s difficult or not…”

"For example, can you humans control the flow of blood in your body at will?"

Deliberately lowering her voice, Xiluo vividly described the unnatural nature of Li Boyang's behavior.

Then, Xiluo, in shock, noticed the other person's skin color, which was obviously different from that of an ordinary person. "Wait, what's going on?"

Under the bright moonlight, Li Boyang's skin appeared red, as eye-catching as a demon.

"You're actually using the gnat's 'curse' to absorb evil spirits?"

Xiluo saw what Li Boyang had done at a glance, and her mouth opened in shock again.

Li Boyang not only perfectly endured the evil curse that ordinary people would avoid, but also allowed his body to absorb some of the evil energy.

The crimson skin was evidence of being tempered by evil spirit.

What's the big deal...?

Vaguely aware that he seemed to have achieved some amazing accomplishment, Li Boyang didn't understand what was so surprising about it.

"You really are a freak!"

Seeing this, Xiluo knew that there was nothing to say to such an "outsider" and could only roll her eyes helplessly.

"Well, since you can make good use of this Lingxi Horn, I'll lend it to you for now..."

Unfortunately, before Xiluo could finish her words, Li Boyang's inner voice was heard again.

"Just borrowing? You're such a stingy fellow indeed..."

Under the threat of Xiluo's angry eyes.

Li Boyang suppressed the thoughts in time, then grinned slightly in embarrassment.

Li Boyang swore that the thought he just had was definitely not something he intended to convey - it was just that he couldn't control the thought in his mind for a moment.

"What do you mean by stingy guy!"

"Do you know how precious this rhinoceros horn is?"

She slapped Li Boyang's little head viciously, and Xiluo showed her claws and threatened him.

"This is the horn of the Tongtian Rhino. It is a very precious treasure in the nine provinces, four seas, and eight wildernesses!"

"If it wasn't for teaching me how to speak, my sister wouldn't have given this thing to me for safekeeping!"

When mentioning her sister, Xiluo, who was originally aggressive, suddenly wilted, and even her voice became weak.

"Forget it, why would I bother with a kid like you?"

"Anyway, remember this. I can lend you this thing temporarily, but it's not a gift to you!"

She nodded obediently. Li Boyang was not the type of person who would take advantage of others and act like a good boy, so he naturally would not refute Xiluo's words.

He was just a little curious about the origin of this raccoon cat's sister.
Is the other party the Valkyrie enshrined in the mountain temple on Feilai Peak?

【What happened outside? 】

【What were you fighting with just now? 】

[During the daytime today, a rabbit came near the village...]

[It says that the spirits in the mountains have recently been affected by the 'turmoil in the earth veins' and are planning to migrate out. Is this true?]

After suppressing his unnecessary thoughts, Li Boyang finally became serious and asked.

These are the questions that Li Boyang most urgently wants to know, and they are also his original intention in looking for Xiluo.

"Speaking of which, this matter actually has something to do with you."

Staring at Li Boyang with a complicated expression, Xiluo was silent for a long time before speaking.

"I don't know if you still remember your previous life..."

"But before you became a human cub, you killed a human, a witch priest who seemed to have mastered some strange magic?"

"His soul now remains in Heiyunze and has transformed into an evil ghost."

“No one knows what’s going on inside.”

"The only thing that is certain is that a Yin Spirit went in and never came out again."

"Even the gnat's escape earlier seemed to be related to that evil spirit..."
