Phoenix Destroyer

When everyone was trying to think of a way to get rid of the Gu worm in Xiao Mingsu's body, Feng Mo had already secretly entered meditation.

Since this Gu worm exists in the world, there should be a record in the inheritance.

After flipping through things in mind, Feng Mo finally found a note that was in the corner of his mind. There are alternative treatments that use Gu worm as a medicine, so Gu Worm falls into the category of alchemy. But since it did not belong to the ranks of the spiritual grass, Feng Mo had left it in a corner.

The Gu worm practice was an ancient cultivation method that used a large number of cultivation worms. The owner of the Gu worm breeds gu with some special methods. But due to the specificity in breeding Gu, not many cultivators were successful.

And the practice of the Gu worm has long disappeared in the flow of history, so even the current era does not have much of its record.

Meanwhile, the Gu Worm in Xiao Mingsu's body should belong to the category of parasites.

Actually, Gu Worms during use well, even can also be used to cure diseases. But now, it still depended on each person's heart.

The parasite gu in Xiao Mingsu's body had clearly been cultivated before. It was the plan of the person in the darkness to kill Xiao Mingsu secretly.

Feng Mo snorted softly, wherever power exists, there must be discord. Opening his eyes again, Feng Mo already had a few points in his heart.

"We can't kill that Gu worm before ascertaining whether there is another hidden danger." The first elder pressed down on his throbbing temple, trying to remember things in the past.

"Why?"

"If this old man doesn't remember wrongly, this Gu is some kind of parasite, if you kill him rashly, the host will also have an accident."

Xiao Mingsu was shocked.

"How serious is that?"

"Little, the old man didn't know, but if the counterattack was heavy, death was the end result."

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

Frowning, Xiao Jinxi felt anxious. "If we can't kill the worm, at least find a way to get it out of Dad's body."

The others nodded.

"There's some kind of spiritual grass that the Gu worm really likes, but I can't remember its name and how it looks." The first elder was a little regretful, had he been more thorough when reading those books in the past.

In other families, there were some elders who had more important positions than the Patriarch, but Xiao Jia was a special case. All the power of the family is in the hands of the Patriarch.

Even the Great Elder was only a number one in the family.

This happened because Xiao Jia had a family heirloom that was in fact a legendary artifact.

In the moments of crisis of destruction approaching, the heirloom was able to protect the entire Xiao Jia. Only, only the Patriarch of the family could control the heirloom. Other people couldn't even be Great Elders though.

It was not that no other family member wanted the heirloom for himself, but after that, everyone who tried to seize the heirloom had turned into corpses.

Now that something had happened to Xiao Mingsu, the first elder even suspected that the person who tried to harm Xiao Mingsu was a fellow family member. Because the Gu worm that absorbed Xiao Mingsu's vitality, it could also stimulate Xiao Mingsu's breath.

The last time the turmoil befell Xiao Jia, wasn't it because some people thought of various ways to seize the heirloom?

It was at this time that the change of the Patriarch of the family took place. The original Patriarch candidate had died unnoticed by the rest of the family, and his body had been made into a corpse puppet.

The other side almost succeeded.

If it were not for the family heirloom that had never responded while being held by a corpse doll, no one would have realized that the would-be heir had been manipulated.

Now almost two thousand years have passed, and something has happened again. This time one's target had become Xiao Mingsu himself.

When Xiao Mingsu was injured, he was on an adventure alone. And Xiao Mingsu immediately returned to Xiao Jia to heal himself.

During that time Xiao Mingsu did not meet any outsiders, only the family came in exchange to meet him.

The first elder thought of some names of people who had always been at odds with Xiao Mingsu. But if there was no decisive evidence, it would be difficult for him to catch people.

When the mind of the first Elder was still wandering around, Feng Mo had taken out an empty jade.

"Xiaomo, did you find anything?"

Kong Li's voice attracted attention.

Feng Mo said calmly, "No, this is just empty jade."

Disappointment appeared on the faces of some people.

"Just like, I seem to remember that there was a spiritual grass that grew specifically as insect food. I don't know if it'll work on Worm Gu."

"What spiritual grass?" Xiao Jinxi could not wait.

Feng Mo did not say anything, just handed over the jade whose contents he had carved with the image of the spiritual grass.

Xiao Jinxi looked at the picture and pursed her lips. "I don't know."

Meng Shize took a stone photo and looked at it as well. "I don't have it."

"Give it to me."

Meng Shize handed the stone to Xiao Mingsu.

Xiao Mingsu looked at the image seriously. "I think I've seen it somewhere." Xiao Mingsu's voice sounded flat, seemingly empty. Because he had actually seen that spiritual grass not long before.

It was a spiritual grass that flourished at the foot of a certain mountain in this place. Like weeds.

"really? Dad tell me where it is! I'll ask someone to find her once we get back."

"No need."

Xiao Jinxi's face froze.

Others are confused too.

"Dad... " You don't want to heal?

"Really?!" This is a surprising thing.

"Where? I'll take it for you."

Xiao Mingsu said a place, Xiao Jinxi was impatient and immediately left. He disappeared quickly.

As a God Transforming Cultivator, Xiao Jinxi could fly even faster. It was because of Feng Mo and Kong Lu earlier who were still using flying swords as transportation, so he had to slow down his flying speed.

"I'll help." Meng Shize soon followed.

Feng Mo took out an alchemy furnace while waiting for the two to return. Using fire spells, Feng Mo secretly added life flames into the furnace.

Kong Li sat down beside Feng Mo. With the presence of two great buddhas, Kong Li had held back a lot.

Ever since leaving the Xiao Jia residence, he had never left Feng Mo's side. With Feng Mo by her side, she felt a little safe.

On the other hand, Xiao Mingsu was healing himself.

The first elder helped him stabilize the aura.

"Is there anyone who makes you suspicious?"

Xiao Mingsu immediately understood the intentions of the first Elder. "Um, there are some people. Before I didn't quite understand why they were acting so strangely, but now that the root cause had appeared, I was worried that they would soon notice my abnormality."

"Don't worry, since this place can even prevent Tiandao's perception, those people must have not noticed the abnormality on our side." The first elder did not ask further who the person Xiao Mingsu meant.

"Uncle has a point."

Xiao Mingsu lowered his gaze, a cold light flashed in his eyes. Don't let him hold their hand, even if they are fellow family members, don't blame him for being cruel.

It took quite some time before Xiao Jinxi and Meng Shize returned.

As soon as Xiao Jinxi landed, she rushed towards Feng Mo. With a wave of hands, a pile of spiritual grass suddenly appeared on the ground.

"Feng's brother, work hard!"

Feng Mo: " ... " What's with this pile? You guys swept the whole grass down below?

The corner of Feng Mo's mouth twitched violently. "Brother Xiao please dodge."

Xiao Jinxi did not obstruct anymore, and immediately stepped aside.

Feng Mo gathered all the spiritual grasses and sorted out the useless parts. After disposing of the flawed parts, Feng Mo immediately threw all those spiritual grasses into the furnace that had been heated.

When two old men who had lived for thousands of years saw his deeds, they could not doubt life. Although they were not alchemists, at least they had seen others doing alchemy.

And even though he wasn't currently refining alchemy, Feng Mo's reckless actions, made the two wonder about the other party's abilities.

Either the other party's level was too bad, or Feng Mo was confident about his abilities.

Feng Mo concentrated on purifying the spiritual grass into liquid.

Worm Gu was very fond of this spiritual grass, so Feng Mo did not bother to make it into a pill ball.

The spiritual grass melted into a dark green colored liquid. With the many spiritual grasses present, the green liquid had made a puddle at the bottom of the furnace.

When the green liquid was ready, Feng Mo withdrew his consciousness from within the alchemy furnace.

But...

Buff~

An incredible stench immediately came out from the furnace.

Feng Mo as the closest person, received an immediate impact.

Engaged!

"Woooo! What's this smell?!" Kong Li leaped away from the furnace and tightly closed his nose.

Feng Mo staggered, his face had turned green. He did not dare to take a breath.

When the wind carried an unpleasant smell, others immediately felt it.

The faces of Xiao Jinxi and the first Elder turned ugly. But they are still defending themselves, not getting out of place.

Meng Shize had a sensitive sense of smell, she was the one who first felt her pain. Immediately Meng Shize firmly closed his sense of smell.

"Is something wrong? Why would... " It smells like this? Meng Shize did not dare to say it but Feng Mo understood his point.

While covering his nose, Feng Mo shook his head. "There's nothing wrong, I'm not adding anything else."

Feng Mo had never purified this spiritual grass so he really did not know. Not knowing that this spiritual grass would give off a very unpleasant smell.

And the stench could shake the world.

When others complain. "Did it smell...is it really weird? " The confused voice of Xiao Mingsu attracted everyone's attention.

Seeing how Xiao Mingsu could still breathe amidst the stench, the others looked at him in astonishment.

"Dad, don't you smell bad?"

Xiao Mingsu shook his head. "Where is the stench? Actually it smells okay, a little good?"

Xiao Jinxi stared blankly, unable to help but move away from the father. Even the face of the first Elder cracked, quietly moving away from Xiao Mingsu.

Xiao Mingsu: " ... "

What's wrong?
