The Mirror Master

Lu Bai calmed his mind and focused his spirit, circulating his Blood Qi to carefully search for any Gu Insect that might be hidden in his body.

In his previous cultivation, his focus had been on stimulating his acupoints.

Now, his Blood Qi gradually spread from his limbs and torso, surging upward until it slowly reached his head.

Finally, when the Dragon Elephant Blood Qi gathered in his head, he discovered an anomaly!

The blood vessels in his brain were dense and crisscrossed.

At the end of one of the tiny vessels lay a dormant, golden speck of light.

Lu Bai drove his Dragon Elephant Blood Qi to surge toward this golden speck!

The Blood Qi intertwined, swiftly enveloping it and continuously grinding away the golden light that surrounded it.

The Dragon Elephant Blood Qi was already formed, emanating a Suppressing Divine Power. The golden light around the speck peeled away bit by bit, revealing its true form.

It looked like a silkworm.

As tiny as a mote of dust.

It was golden all over, emitting a strange aura. Its body was segmented, fat, and bloated, and covered in sharp thorns.

What was truly chilling was the pair of eyes on this Golden Silkworm. They glowed with a bloody red light—cold, vicious, and malevolent.

Immediately after, the look in the Golden Silkworm’s eyes changed, revealing a deep-seated venomous hatred.

Lu Bai shuddered!

Through the Golden Silkworm’s eyes, Lu Bai felt as if he could see another existence!

It was a member of the Witch Race, hiding in the shadows and controlling the venomous insect!

The moment Lu Bai detected the Golden Silkworm, its master detected him as well!

The Golden Silkworm had originally been curled up and motionless.

But now, the Golden Silkworm found a gap in his defenses and suddenly broke through the containment, fleeing toward another location.

Lu Bai circulated his Blood Qi, locking onto the Golden Silkworm and giving chase.

’Now that I’ve found it, I can’t let it get away!’

Leaving such a menace inside his body meant it could erupt at any moment!

However, though the venomous insect looked bloated, it was extremely agile and incredibly fast.

A moment later, Lu Bai finally cornered the Golden Silkworm.

His Blood Qi closed in from all directions.

The Golden Silkworm let out a sorrowful screech, clearly in pain, but his Blood Qi Power wasn’t strong enough to completely destroy it.

If he concentrated his Blood Qi into a single point, the Golden Silkworm would seize the opportunity to escape.

The cultivation of the person who planted the Gu was clearly far beyond his own.

If he could open all Nine Acupoints and drastically increase his Blood Qi, he might be able to kill this venomous insect.

But for now, Lu Bai was locked in a stalemate with the creature.

Just then, the door was suddenly smashed open by an external force!

Lu Bai’s heart jumped, and he opened his eyes to look.

He felt a slight sense of relief when he saw it was Ah Ming who had broken down the door.

But in that brief moment of distraction, the Golden Silkworm escaped again.

Lu Bai could only continue circulating his Blood Qi to keep it entangled, cursing his luck internally.

’A moment of carelessness, and I was hit with a Gu. Now I’m at someone else’s mercy, unable to break free.’

In truth, if he hadn’t been practicing the Dragon Elephant Suppression Skill, which cultivated Dragon Elephant Blood Qi and its Suppressing Power...

...any other Innate Martial Artist would have long been killed by the Golden Silkworm Gu.

Ah Ming tilted its head and walked toward Lu Bai, its eyes gleaming with excitement, eager to make a move.

「On the other side.」

When Luo Qing and her brothers saw the Big Rooster suddenly get up and smash the door open, they were all stunned.

Luo Xiao clicked his tongue. "That Big Rooster is so strong! It even broke the door latch."

"Even the rooster that follows Brother Xiaolu is this amazing."

Luo Ben exclaimed in awe, then stood up. "I’ll go drag it out. I don’t know what’s gotten into it, but we can’t let it disturb Brother Xiaolu’s training."

While they were talking, the Big Rooster circled Lu Bai once before returning to stand in front of him.

Without any warning, the Big Rooster suddenly leaped up and pecked viciously at Lu Bai’s forehead!

DONG!

A sharp thud.

In an instant, a gash was pecked into Lu Bai’s forehead, and blood began to flow.

"You beast! What are you doing?!"

Seeing this, Luo Ben turned pale with shock, let out a furious shout, and charged forward!

"Stay back!"

Just as Luo Ben reached the doorway, Lu Bai’s eyes snapped open, his gaze as sharp as a torch as he shot him a fierce glare.

Luo Ben hastily stopped in his tracks.

"Ah Ming, thank you."

Lu Bai reached out and gently stroked Ah Ming’s feathers.

Luo Ben’s jaw dropped and his eyes widened. He was completely dumbfounded.

’After killing Mo Shaohan today, who in Bluestone City would dare provoke Lu Bai?’

’Let alone pecking his forehead open and drawing blood.’

’This rooster is just too savage, isn’t it?’

’But the weirdest part is, not only is Brother Xiaolu not angry, he’s even thanking it!’

’This is no ordinary rooster.’

’From now on, this is my, Luo Ben’s, Brother Chicken!’

In a flash, a sense of reverence welled up inside him, and Luo Ben began to see Ah Ming in a completely new light.

A moment ago, while Lu Bai was entangled with the Golden Silkworm, Ah Ming’s appearance had suddenly broken the stalemate.

In fact, back on Zhongming Mountain, Ah Ming had already scented the venomous insect on Lu Bai.

But at the time, the insect was hidden too deep.

To eat it, it probably would have had to peck Lu Bai’s entire skull open, which would have killed him.

Though it was a glutton, it had no intention of harming anyone.

Just now, as Lu Bai chased the Golden Silkworm, the insect had been fleeing wildly. Ah Ming seized the perfect moment, pecked through the flesh without even touching the bone, and snatched it out in one go!

It barely chewed twice before swallowing it.

’Delicious! So fragrant!’

’So crunchy! The texture is amazing, much tastier than ordinary bugs... Too bad there was only one.’

Ah Ming was still craving more.

"CLUCK, CLUCK!"

Ah Ming clucked at Lu Bai twice, urging him to go find more.

Not only was this bug tasty, but it also contained a huge amount of energy.

For Ah Ming, it was a great supplement!

"Even if you didn’t rush me, I’d have to go looking."

Lu Bai clutched his forehead and activated the Bone Regeneration Secret Technique.

Speaking of which, when Ah Ming first started following him, Lu Bai had always been on guard, afraid it would peck his head.

He’d been so careful, yet he still got pecked.

Fortunately, Ah Ming had controlled the force of its peck perfectly and its aim was precise, plucking out the Golden Silkworm in a single strike.

’If it had pecked my face a dozen times, this face would be ruined.’

"Ah Bai, are you all right?"

Wang Family came over and asked with concern.

Luo Qing brought over some gauze and Golden Wound Medicine. "Put some medicine on it to stop the bleeding."

"I’m fine now."

Lu Bai lowered the hand covering his forehead.

Luo Qing was taken aback.

The wound had already stopped bleeding, and the skin around it was knitting back together.

It looked like it would scar over in no time.

"Don’t worry. Go back and rest. We’ll talk tomorrow if there’s anything else."

Lu Bai gave a faint smile and saw everyone out.

After settling Wang Family and Uncle Fu, he returned to his room.

After sitting quietly for a moment, a murderous glint flashed in Lu Bai’s eyes. He took the Mountain Demon Hat from his robes and pulled it over his head.

As his figure gradually faded from view, Lu Bai slipped out silently, left the Luo Family residence, and headed straight for the Underground Bazaar!

’It’s my turn to make a move!’

Lu Bai had suddenly remembered something.

Luo Ben had once told him that Chen Xiaofeng and Chen Qianqian hadn’t been to school in a long time.

The Chen Family must have run into trouble back then!

Chen Qianqian was at the Drunken Flower Tower.

Chen Tieshan was at the Underground Gambling House.

The Golden Silkworm Gu came from a Cultivation Technique from the Drunken Flower House!

Everything pointed to that Boss Jin in Bluestone City!
