Chapter 17: Collecting Golden Silkworms 2 More Votes!
Three months later, Yang Feng returned to the small wooden house where he and his mother had lived together since childhood. He felt a little happy but more sad. The happiness came from getting recognized by his grandfather after returning home and learning all the Gu techniques in three months. Although he hadn't tried them out even once yet, it was enough to make him feel a bit happy because he thought that if he could achieve such results, his mother, Xi Ling, would be happy too. What made him sad, however, was that he couldn't let his mother see these achievements with her own eyes!
The small wooden house was still clean, as expected, the old man would come to sweep every day. Yang Feng walked into the small wooden house and returned to the bedroom, looking at the two beds of different sizes, Yang Feng lay gently on the smaller wooden bed, his body slightly tilted, his eyes gazing at the larger bed, his eyes gradually becoming hazy, he seemed to see his mother lying on that bed again, telling him stories and coaxing him to sleep.
Yang Feng slowly fell asleep, perhaps because he had been studying the art of Gu and practicing martial arts techniques with all his might for three months, Yang Feng's rest time was very short, now finally having the opportunity to rest a bit would fall asleep so quickly. When Yang Feng returned to the small wooden house, it was at noon, and when the sun was about to set, Yang Feng slowly woke up.
After waking up, Yang Feng saw the remaining sunlight outside and thought that he hadn't practiced the Nine Yin Scripture and Nine Yang Divine Skill for a long time. He sat cross-legged on his bed and began to cultivate his internal energy.
The Nine Yin True Classics and the Nine Yang Divine Merit simultaneously revolved, and the yang energy and yin energy in the heaven and earth slowly entered Yang Feng's body, then transformed into the internal force of the Nine Yin True Classics and the Nine Yang Divine Merit, merging into Yang Feng's meridians. Yang Feng, who had not cultivated his internal force for nearly three months, discovered that he had not regressed, but instead, this time when he cultivated, he absorbed yang energy and yin energy at a slightly faster speed than before. This made Yang Feng feel a hint of joy, but soon thought that this might be the effect of persisting in cultivating the Easy Tendon and Bone Tempering Chapter, which not only increased his physical strength by many times, but also accelerated his internal force cultivation speed. It seems that he still needs to continue cultivating the Easy Tendon and Bone Tempering Chapter in the future.
When the sun had completely set and the yang energy between heaven and earth had almost dissipated, Yang Feng stopped his cultivation. Although this session of cultivation had increased in speed, the internal energy of the Nine Yin Manual and the Nine Yang Divine Skill hadn't increased by much. It seemed that breaking through to the Second Yin Second Yang realm would still require a very long time. Yang Feng didn't mind, after withdrawing his energy and standing up, he began to examine the things in his home.
Yang Feng naturally did not forget about finding the Golden Silkworm Mother, and Chi Zheng said that the Golden Silkworm Mother was in this small room where he and his mother lived, but didn't know its exact location. Yang Feng now knew all the Gu techniques and methods of releasing Gu, but had never actually practiced them before, and since he had never cultivated a Gu Mother before, it was even more impossible for him to know where the Golden Silkworm Mother was.
Yang Feng looked at each item in the small wooden house one by one. The things in the wooden house were all left behind by his mother, Qi Ling, before she passed away. Yang Feng naturally wouldn't rummage through them carelessly. He would gently pick up each item, take a look and make sure everything was fine before putting it back in its original place.
After such a careful search, Yang Feng gained nothing and sat back on his small wooden bed. On the edge of the small bed was a wooden horse that his mother had made for him. When Yang Feng was young, he would often ride the wooden horse around the small courtyard while his mother watched with a happy face. This was when Yang Feng was happiest.
Yang Feng saw the wooden horse and thought of his mother. Yang Feng's left hand gently stroked the wooden horse, but suddenly felt a faint chill in the air. This chill was very weak, if not for Yang Feng's left half-body cultivation of the Nine Yin True Classics, which made him extremely sensitive to cold energy, he might not have discovered this chill. Yang Feng immediately felt that there must be something inside the wooden horse, so he picked it up and examined it carefully, and indeed found some abnormalities on the belly of the wooden horse.
Originally, under the belly of the wooden horse, Yang Feng discovered a square-shaped texture, which was obviously formed after blocking the wooden horse's belly. Yang Feng displayed the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, and with a suction from his palm, he sucked out the square-shaped wooden block. Then, Yang Feng found that inside the wooden horse's belly was a black iron box.
He took out the black iron box, and Yang Feng suddenly felt a chill emanating from inside. The iron box was a cube with two layers that fit together seamlessly, without any other openings or locks. As soon as Yang Feng gently opened the box, a wave of cold air rushed out, and after it passed, his eyes widened in shock because he saw a golden-yellow creature, only the size of a finger, resembling a silkworm, but with a more majestic aura - a Golden Silkworm Mother!
Underneath the Golden Silkworm Mother was a small piece of Dark Ice emitting cold air. Although it was only a tiny piece, the chill it emitted made Yang Feng feel shocked, as he could already feel his hands almost freezing stiff. Yang Feng had no idea how his mother had obtained this piece of Dark Ice, but he knew that the Golden Silkworm Mother was now in hibernation, and this was the safest time to harvest her.
Yang Feng looked at the golden wasp mother in his hand, and the emotions in his heart suddenly surged, because he knew that this must have been left behind by his mother. All wasp mothers had to be cultivated inside the body of the person cultivating them, and they had to be fed with the cultivator's own blood every day for the wasp mother to grow stronger. At this moment, Yang Feng finally understood why his mother had become weaker and weaker in her last days, at an extremely fast rate. He had never seen anyone lose all their blood color and turn deathly pale just a few days after falling ill. It turned out that back then, his mother hadn't been sick at all - she had been cultivating this golden wasp mother, and after successfully cultivating it, she had sealed it in this small iron box with the help of the mysterious ice, leaving it behind for him.
Yang Feng thought that this might be because her mother was afraid that after she left the world, no one would take care of herself, and outsiders would bully Yang Feng, so she cultivated the Golden Silkworm Mother to leave for herself, letting the Golden Silkworm Mother protect herself. Because everyone inside the inner village had to learn Gu techniques, each person had their own Gu mother, but if there was a Golden Silkworm Mother here, then no matter who came, they wouldn't be able to bully Yang Feng. Unfortunately, Xiang Ling hadn't thought that Yang Feng would be taken away, and those who took Yang Feng away didn't have any Gu mothers in their bodies, so naturally they wouldn't be affected by the Gu mother sealed by Xuan Bing.
Yang Feng looked at the Golden Silkworm Mother in his hand, unsure whether he should be angry or happy. With the Golden Silkworm Mother, he could cultivate poison skills and make it a poisonous wasp to take revenge on the Yang family with more confidence. However, it was also because of this Golden Silkworm Mother that his mother would die so quickly. If his mother's spirit hadn't been cultivating this Golden Silkworm Mother, she wouldn't have died so soon!
Yang Feng stared blankly at the Golden Silkworm Mother in his hand for a long time, his mind extremely complicated. Finally, he let out a deep sigh and decided to take the Golden Silkworm Mother with him. After all, this was something his mother had left behind to protect him, and it was also something she had cultivated herself. He would bring the Golden Silkworm Mother along as he sought revenge against the Yang family, revenge against the man who had abandoned his mother and himself!
Yang Feng placed the iron box in his right hand, and the Nine Suns Divine Technique's internal energy immediately circulated. The scorching Nine Suns Divine Technique's internal energy gathered on his right hand, wanting to slowly melt the Xuan Ice inside the iron box. However, the cold air contained within this piece of Xuan Ice was truly too powerful. Yang Feng used nearly an hour to melt it, and by that time, the Nine Suns Divine Technique's internal energy in his body had been completely depleted.
This situation made Yang Feng very worried, fearing that the internal energy of Jiuyin Zhenjing would take advantage of this to occupy his own right half of the body, but what made Yang Feng feel a sense of relief was that the internal energy of Jiuyin Zhenjing on the left side of his body had no such intention at all.
Although the Nine Yang Divine Skill's internal energy on the right side of his body had been completely depleted, the Nine Yin True Classic's internal energy within the left side of his body remained dormant in the left half of Yang Feng's fenshen body, without any intention of invading the right side. This made Yang Feng let out a sigh of relief, but just at this moment, the 365 major acupoints on Yang Feng's body suddenly surged with a large amount of yang energy, replenishing the Nine Yang Divine Skill's internal energy that had been depleted from his body.
This situation made Yang Feng surprised again, he never thought that his body would have so much yang energy?! In fact, Yang Feng didn't know that among the 365 major meridians in his body, not only did they contain a large amount of yang energy, but also a large amount of yin energy. These were all absorbed into his body's meridians when he broke through the boundary of yin and yang in that underground cave. At that time, Yang Feng was at a critical point in his cultivation and didn't notice that the excess yang and yin energies had all entered his meridians, and only came to replenish them after his internal energy was depleted.
Yang Feng couldn't understand what was happening, so he stopped thinking about it. After all, many strange things had happened to him before, and he didn't care anymore. What mattered most now was to absorb the Golden Silkworm Mother into his body. Yang Feng looked at the iron box, where the Golden Silkworm Mother slowly regained consciousness and started making some noise. He hastily pierced his own finger and then used his internal energy to force the fresh blood from his body into the iron box.
Jin Canhuang's mother smelled the taste of fresh blood and immediately woke up, then began to drink large mouthfuls of fresh blood. Yang Feng saw Jin Canhuang's mother drinking his own blood and stopped bleeding. After Jin Canhuang's mother finished drinking all the blood in the iron box, Yang Feng put his fingers into the box. At this time, Jin Canhuang's mother slowly crawled up Yang Feng's arm along his fingers, then bit down, and Yang Feng suddenly felt a sharp pain. However, Yang Feng endured it, watching as Jin Canhuang's mother slowly bit open his skin and slowly drilled in.
Sweat as big as beans flowed down from Yang Feng's forehead, but he didn't make a sound, silently enduring the pain as the Golden Silkworm Mother slowly crawled up his arm and finally stopped at his heart.
Yang Feng's entire body was drenched in sweat, but he revealed a hint of a smile because he had finally absorbed the Golden Silkworm Mother into his own body. This result meant that he now had another powerful aid to deal with the Yang family!
