Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?
Chapter 475: Watch the Bug Eggs Carefully
East State, Misty Mountain.
Next to the gate of Wayless Sect,
Chu Yuan returned here with Ao Ye in tow.
Upon seeing the familiar gates of the Wayless Sect, Chu Yuan was filled with excitement.
He really hadn't expected this.
On a whim, he had gone overseas, and it had taken him more than three months to return.
He was already running short on time.
Now he was even shorter on time.
In just over ten months, the Sect's inspection would take place again.
Chu Yuan felt overwhelmed.
He stood in front of the gate, not entering, and pulled out the insect egg from his storage bag, which he had brought back from a small island overseas.
According to the System, the disciple hatched from this egg would also be a certain failure.
If he taught and failed that disciple, that would be a whole realm increase.
And then there was the Zisu plant.
That Zisu was doubly guaranteed by the System Sign Tube, and Chu Yuan hadn't even used his voice to instruct it; he had no idea if it had transformed yet. It was almost certain to be a failure.
If he added the Zisu plant to this insect egg, that would be a jump of two major realms.
He was currently in the Earthly Realm, so with the addition of two major realms, would he reach the Fetal Realm?
His achievement of Earthly Realm status was all thanks to the protection of his soul by the Invincible State.
If he were to reach the Fetal Realm, wouldn't the Invincible State be protecting an embryo?
Thinking of that image,
Chu Yuan's face turned green.
This wouldn't do; he had to take on at least one more certain failure as a disciple before the next Sect inspection ended.
As long as he failed to teach another disciple, he could return to the Mortal Realm and regain his body.
With that thought,
Chu Yuan could not even care about whether or not to rest.
He handed the insect egg over to Ao Ye.
"Ao Ye, I have some matters to attend to. Take this egg up there and hand it over to someone named Li Ergang. Instruct him to hatch this egg no matter what it takes."
"Then you don't need to follow me; go explore the mount and get to know it better,"
Chu Yuan instructed with a wave of his hand.
"Yes, Sect Master."
Ao Ye carefully accepted the egg, afraid that a slight tremor in his hand might break it.
"Mmh... Go on, make sure the egg gets up there safely. And, if you can, guard it while it hatches. I permit you to visit the Hall of Law Transmission and the Divine Weapon Pavilion within our Sect. These two great halls are closely related to the foundation of the Wayless Sect, so cherish this opportunity,"
Chu Yuan added after a moment's thought.
Ao Ye had followed him around for so long, it was time to give him some perks.
But Chu Yuan didn't have anything of value on him; he couldn't possibly give away the Divination Tube.
So, Chu Yuan decided to give him some psychological comfort.
Let Ao Ye visit that Divine Weapon Pavilion, the Hall of Law Transmission.
Although those two places weren't that helpful, they seemed useful enough since he, an invincible being with the Invincible State activated, had said so.
Ao Ye would be somewhat psychologically affected.
Anyway, if he could make Ao Ye feel that he, as the Sect Master, had not treated him poorly, that would be good enough.
"Hall of Law Transmission? Divine Weapon Pavilion?"
"Yes, yes, yes, thank you, Sect Master! Your great kindness and favor, I, Old Dragon, will never forget you!"
Ao Ye was beside himself with excitement, his voice quivering with gratitude.
"Yes, but remember, even though you're allowed in, you can only stay inside each hall for two hours at most. Do you understand?"
Chu Yuan set a time limit to make sure Ao Ye would not stay inside too long and discover any secrets.
"Understood, understood, yes, yes, yes, Sect Master. I understand everything; I get it all,"
Ao Ye replied enthusiastically.
"Since you understand, then go on up. I have pressing matters to attend to, so I'll be off,"
Chu Yuan said offhandedly.
After speaking, he soared into the sky, heading in the direction of Xiangdao Mountain.
He wanted to check on the state of the purple perilla.
Standing still, Ao Ye was anything but vague.
He trembled with excitement, his whole body shaking.
But he dared not tremble too much,
fearing he might harm the egg in his hand.
Ao Ye could only carefully envelop the egg in mana, and then proceed up the mountain.
After covering some distance,
Ao Ye entered the Wu Dao Sect.
Through the Dragon Clan's secret technique, he quickly found Ao Yu and had him lead the way to Li Ergang.
Ao Ye met with Li Ergang.
The first thing Ao Ye did was to send Ao Yu away.
He wanted to prevent the unreliable ninety-seventh son from harming the egg.
Then, Ao Ye explained the matters of the egg to Li Ergang, as well as Chu Yuan's instructions.
After listening, Li Ergang also carefully took the egg into his hands.
Looking at Li Ergang's demeanor,
Ao Ye felt somewhat uneasy, but he did not wish to stay and watch over it himself, for he was anxious to visit the Divine Weapon Pavilion or the Hall of Law Transmission.
So, Ao Ye thought for a moment and came up with an idea.
He had two halls, two hours each, so why not allocate a bit of that time as a reward to this person to ensure the careful attendance to the egg.
With this thought in mind,
Ao Ye immediately spoke up.
"Daoist Li, I hope you can take good care of this egg. The Sect Master has declared that if you can tend to this egg well until it successfully hatches, you will be permitted to enter the Divine Weapon Pavilion for one hour!"
This is what Ao Ye said.
Upon hearing this,
Li Ergang's eyes widened.
Enter the Divine Weapon Pavilion for an hour?
Truth be told, he had never been inside the Divine Weapon Pavilion before.
He knew about the precious items stored inside and that such a place was not to be entered lightly.
But now, to be told he could enter the Divine Weapon Pavilion for an hour?
"Daoist Ao, I understand! I will take good care of this egg until it hatches. Please rest assured and report back to the Sect Master,"
"As long as I, Li Ergang, have breath in me, I will surely protect this egg!"
Li Ergang spoke with firm conviction.
Seeing this,
Ao Ye said nothing more.
After exchanging a few words with Li Ergang, he turned and left.
After Ao Ye departed,
Li Ergang looked at the egg in his hands, pondered for a moment, took out a silk scarf, and wrapped the egg in it.
He then made a warm nest and placed the egg inside this nest.
And then...
There was nothing more to do.
He was a cook who also tended to pigs, chickens, ducks, and cultivated vegetables.
But he did not know how to incubate eggs, especially these kind of eggs.
However, on second thought,
Incubating an egg doesn't require any special skills, right? It should just be a matter of waiting with time, correct?
Li Ergang, looking at the egg in the nest, rubbed his hands together, lacking the patience to wait. He had to go see the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
After much consideration,
Li Ergang eventually called for Ao Yu and spoke to him directly.
"You watch over this egg carefully. This is something the Sect Master values. Keep an eye on this egg, and once it hatches, I will give you fifteen minutes to enter the Divine Weapon Pavilion—an opportunity promised personally by the Sect Master, so you can confidently go inside!"
The moment Ao Yu heard this, he started howling with excitement, squatting beside the little nest, eagerly waiting for the egg to hatch...
