Chapter 156 Guiyuan Elder's Help
Wushuang fell into a deep sleep. Mona, Longying, Baichen and other beastmen discussed the incident of the man in black.
The two priests and Elder Guiyuan in the East Continent were also restless, pacing around the room. Elder Guiyuan looked at the cracked tortoise shell of the Qilin Gua. With his heart in turmoil, he said to the two priests:
"Master Priest, I want to find them."
"Elder Guiyuan, don't worry. Although the hexagram indicates they are in danger, their lives are not in danger. Just be patient!"
"That's true, but they are all descendants of my Qilin clan. Wushuang, Hanzi, Yanzi and the others are clearly in trouble. I can sense it. How can I just sit back and do nothing?"
"The hexagram indicates that they will inevitably face this disaster, but it doesn't say that their lives will be in danger. We should discuss it again before making a decision."
"Otherwise, call Uncle Wu and Yu to discuss it."
"No need. They're busy enough in the Northern Continent. Don't bother them. I can go there by myself. I can sense their location. Everything here is up to you."
"I'm still worried. You should take Heisha and Huida with you. Their strength has improved by leaps and bounds, so it would be good to have someone to look after them on the road."
"Okay, I'll go find them now!"
Elder Guiyuan hurried to find Heisha and Huida. When he found them, they were talking about planting with the tribe members at the entrance of the tribe.
Elder Guiyuan waved his hand and called Heisha and Hui over.
"Heisha, I'm going to look for the clan leader and the witch. You and Huida will go with me!"
"Elder Guiyuan, has something happened? Why are you in such a hurry?" Heisha asked worriedly.
"I don't know the specific situation, but I can sense that something's happened to them. We should set off now. I've already made arrangements with the High Priest. Let them handle the clan's affairs with the other elders!"
"Okay, let's get ready and set off immediately!"
Heisha and Huida stood beside the earthen ridge and instructed the other orcs:
"Go tell Hongshang and Cao that Huida and I are accompanying Elder Guiyuan to look for the witch lady. We'll be back soon. Tell them not to worry."
"Okay, Lord Heisha, please be careful and take good care of Elder Guiyuan." All the orcs present looked concerned. Elder Guiyuan couldn't bear to make everyone worry, so he explained:
"I missed them. The priest was afraid that something might happen to me alone, so he asked them to accompany me. Don't worry, everything will be fine!"
"Everyone, rest assured. Take good care of the tribe and store more food! We'll celebrate when the tribe leader and the witch return!"
Heisha patted the orc's shoulder, then he and Huida disappeared at the gate of the tribe along with Elder Guiyuan.
Meanwhile, Wushuang was deep in sleep, his brow furrowed. Something seemed to be troubling him. The adorable little Zhuzhu watched Wushuang's troubled expression from beside him. She gently placed her small hand on his forehead and smoothed his frown.
The cute kid said in a baby voice, "Father Wushuang, you should be better than Brother Han! You can't sleep for too long, otherwise we will laugh at you!"
Wushuang was in a trance in his dream. He seemed to hear the shouts of Mengzi and Zhuzhu. He tried hard to open his eyes, but it was impossible. Mengmeng saw that something was wrong with Wushuang and ran out in a hurry. He shouted to Mona:
"Mother, there's something wrong with Father Wushuang! Come and take a look!"
Mona hurried in, followed by Longying and the beast husbands!
"Mengmeng, what's wrong? What happened to Father Wushuang?"
"Mother, Father seems to be in a nightmare. No matter how I call him, he won't wake up."
Mona was startled. She immediately walked over to the stone bed to take a look. Hmm. She found Wushuang was frowning, clenching his fists, gritting his teeth, and his whole body was shaking.
Seeing this sign, Long Ying quickly said:
"He looks a bit like me and the Sea Devil merged into one, like our souls are being torn apart."
"How is that possible? What he swallowed was the Earth Spirit Pearl, not the Sea Demon God who took over his body."
The honest and decent Bixi stood up and interrupted Longying. Speaking of which, among the seven beast husbands, Bixi and Wushuang have the best relationship.
"So I find it strange too. Could it be that the Earth Spirit Pearl is taking effect in his body?"
"That's not right. Hanzi's water spirit pearl has a deep connection with his own spirit pearl. Isn't it releasing friendly energy and information to everyone? Why does this phenomenon occur here at Wushuang?"
Hanzi was originally lying on the stone bed, resting quietly. After hearing what was said here, he got up from the bed. Yanzi immediately helped him over. Hanzi and Yanzi both put their hands on Wushuang's abdomen.
"Father, how are you?"
Wushuang clearly heard the child's cries. But his body was in such a state. He couldn't speak, couldn't move his hands, couldn't even open his eyes. Wushuang felt a deep sense of exhaustion.
Hanzi and Yanzi were still using their hands to carefully feel the Earth Spirit Pearl in Wushang's body. Hanzi found that the Earth Spirit Pearl was very strange. It did not release energy and supply the body like the Water Spirit Pearl in his body. Instead, it was absorbing his body's energy.
Hanzi suddenly turned his head and said to Mona:
"Mother, I feel the Earth Spirit Pearl is absorbing the energy from Father's body."
"Why is this happening? Didn't your Water Spirit Pearl expand and provide you with energy? Why is it reversed when it comes to Wushuang?"
Bai Chen tried to explain, "Hanzi's spirit pearl was cultivated by himself and is naturally present in his body. Wushuang's earth spirit pearl, on the other hand, was taken orally and has taken root in his body. It might need a certain degree of adjustment with the body, and only when it reaches a certain level of integration with the body can it be used by him."
"So what should we do about this situation? How can we get along and get used to each other?"
"Ask me, I know!"
Elder Guiyuan stepped in from the doorway. Everyone saw this old man with white hair and a youthful face, as if they had seen a savior. Mona asked happily:
"Elder Guiyuan, why are you here?"
"Mistress, how can I not come? Several descendants of my Qilin clan have been in trouble. How can I not be anxious?"
"Oh, Senior Guiyuan, thank you for your hard work! Come and take a look! What's happening with Wushuang?"
Elder Guiyuan rushed forward and took stock of Hanzi and Yanzi's situation. He stroked his beard and said:
"Fortunately. Both cubs are in good health!" Elder Guiyuan leaned over and looked at Wushuang:
"What happened to him? Tell me."
"We forced him to swallow the Earth Spirit Pearl. He was conscious at first, but now he's in a nightmare. We called him but he didn't respond at all!"
"If this continues, he will fall into a nightmare and become possessed. Elder, do you have any solution?"
"Of course there is a way, otherwise why would my old bones come here?"
Elder Guiyuan slowly channeled a stream of spiritual energy into Wushuang's abdomen. Through this spiritual energy's exploration, the Earth Spirit Pearl emitted an earthy yellowish glow within Wushuang's abdomen.
After a while, Elder Guiyuan withdrew his hand, stroked his beard, and said seriously:
"It's okay. Better than I thought."
"Elder, what do you mean?"
"What I mean is that he won't die. This Earth Spirit Pearl is integrating with his body. But his spiritual power has been exhausted. Without spiritual power to nourish the Earth Spirit Pearl, and the Earth Spirit Pearl needs to take root and sprout in his body, it is absorbing his energy and spirit! It will make him more tired and he will fall asleep."
"Then what are we going to do?"
"I still remember. When we attacked the main city and fought against the ferocious beast, we received an inner core from the ferocious beast. I wonder if it's still there."
"Yes, yes, I have kept it. But what good will this beast's inner core do Wushuang?"
"The inner elixir of the fierce beast contains a certain amount of energy, which can be supplied to the Earth Spirit Pearl. The Earth Spirit Pearl will not absorb Wushuang's vitality. With external energy replenishment, Wushuang will feel much better."
Mona frantically searched the system space and finally found the beast's core. She obediently handed it to Elder Guiyuan.
"Elder, this is the inner elixir of the ferocious beast. How do I give it to Wushuang?"
Elder Guiyuan didn't mind Mona's carelessness. After all, concern can lead to confusion. He reached out and directly took the inner elixir and stuffed it into Wushuang's mouth. The inner elixir melted in his mouth, slowly transforming into a warm current that flowed into Wushuang's abdomen. Meanwhile, the Earth Spirit Pearl within Wushuang's abdomen was desperately absorbing this hard-earned source of energy.
After swallowing a fierce beast's inner core, Wushuang's brows finally relaxed. Then a slight snoring sound was heard.
"Okay, it's all right for now. I said he's in this state. Sucking the inner elixir of a vicious beast won't do much!"
"Elder, are you asking for more ferocious beast inner cores?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out. The Earth Spirit Pearl must decompose it before we can proceed to the next step. Hanzi, Yanzi, come here, I'll give you a closer look."
Hanzi ran to the side of the elder of Guiyuan. The elder touched the heads of the two children lovingly. The old man said with satisfaction:
"My baby is different. I didn't expect him to be so gifted at such a young age. He even gave birth to a spirit pearl."
"Grandpa Elder, it's not just us two who gave birth to spirit pearls. My brothers and sisters also have them."
"Really? Hehehe, it's truly the Beast God's blessing, God bless our Qilin clan. Hanzi, Yanzi, where are your Water Spirit Pearls and Fire Spirit Pearls?"
The two cubs took out the spirit beads from their arms.
"Grandpa Guiyuan, during the last battle with the Sea Demon God, the Five Elements Spirit Pearls were with us brothers and sisters. Father Wushuang's Earth Spirit Pearl is already in his belly!"
"Grandpa Guiyuan, do you want all of us to merge into one?"
Ruirui tilted his head and asked Elder Guiyuan, and the other kids had actually guessed it.
"That's right, I want the pearl and the human to become one. To do that, I must swallow this spirit pearl. But there are potential risks. Are you willing to try?"
Bai Ze came over and bowed as a junior:
"Meet Grandpa Guiyuan."
Elder Guiyuan looked at the young man in front of him in surprise:
"Haha, are you Bai Ze?"
"Yes, Grandpa Guiyuan, I didn't expect you to recognize me at first sight."
"Of course, of course. Your ancestors and I are very good friends. How could I not recognize you? Why are you here?"
Elder Guiyuan's words were not yet finished. Bai Ze said calmly and proudly:
"I acknowledge the witch as my mother."
"Good boy. You actually acknowledged the witch as your mother, so these are all your fathers."
Gui Yuan pointed at the beastly husbands standing beside Mona, and Bai Ze nodded without hesitation:
"Yes, I am a member of my mother's family now, thanks to you for not abandoning me."
"Okay, okay. You have a bright future ahead of you."
Bai Ze's beaming face was tinged with smugness. Mona touched the two children's faces, also feeling relieved. Bai Chen, as attentive as ever, noticed that Wushuang still showed no signs of waking up.
"Elder Guiyuan, please check on Wushuang to see if he has fallen into a coma again!"
Gui Yuan took a look and said with disdain:
"He simply used up all the inner core of the fierce beast within him. The Earth Spirit Pearl is digesting the energy. It's okay, Hanzi's Spirit Pearl has doubled in size. This is the difference between one's own cultivation and external cultivation. As long as a few of the children take the Spirit Pearl, the two beads will merge into one. Then their future will be limitless."
"Grandpa Guiyuan, can I eat the Water Spirit Pearl now?"
"Hanzi, you are still young. Even adults cannot bear the fusion of the spirit beads, let alone you are still a child. Just look at your father Wushuang and you will know."
"I'm not afraid! Can't you handle such a small setback? I want to give it a try."
"Good boy, Grandpa knows that you are a good child with a strong mind, but we can't be hasty. Wait until your father fuses the Earth Spirit Pearl. Then you can start again with your other sisters and brothers."
After hearing this, Mona felt that what Elder Guiyuan said made sense. Then she gently hugged Hanzi and comforted him:
"Hanzi, Hanzi, be obedient. Let's wait until your father can completely integrate the Earth Spirit Pearl. Then we can start again. That way, your father will have experience and can teach you later, right?"
Hanzi pouted and reluctantly agreed.
"Okay. I'll listen to you, mother."
At this time, Wushuang was still lying quietly. Elder Guiyuan felt his pulse with his hand. He said calmly:
"Do you have any red crystals that can help males increase their strength?"
"Yes, yes."
The beastmen immediately answered in unison, each pulling out a bag of red crystals from their waists.
"Use this from me."
Elder Guiyuan took the red crystal from Jinjue.
"Elder, at this time, will taking the red crystal increase his strength? Or is there another explanation? Will there be any other side effects?"
"No, this will allow him to better absorb the Earth Spirit Pearl. From now on, the Earth Spirit Pearl will become a part of his body. In the past thousands of years of our Qilin clan, there has only been one Wushuang."
"Elder Guiyuan, give him the red crystal first. I have something to ask you."
Long Ying urged the elders. Then he glanced at Bai Chen again, stood up and told Mona:
"Give him three pills first. When he calms down a little, give him another three. Continue until he wakes up."
"Okay, thank you, Elder Guiyuan."
Long Ying glanced at Bai Chen again, and Bai Chen understood. The two of them and Elder Gui Yuan went out to the outer hall together.
"What do you two want to do by being so mysterious?"
"Elder Guiyuan, do you remember a group of black-clad men who could use the Wind Exorcism Technique?"
After hearing their words, Elder Guiyuan fell into deep memories.
"There was such a group of people, but didn't they disappear when the Sea Demon God fought against the Dragon Clan? When did these people appear again?"
"We met them a few days ago and fought each other. Their purpose was very clear: to steal the Five Elements Spirit Pearl. Are the Spirit Pearls something from your Qilin clan's secret realm? I think you should know the whole story, right?"
