“This mirror is really interesting, but unfortunately my True Qi is too weak to show anything useful. Right now, I can only see the past 10 seconds or so. It would be amazing if I could see what happened a day ago, or even further back in time. But I guess it will take a while to build up enough True Qi to do that. In the meantime, I should focus on practicing and increasing my True Qi. It’s a shame that the Spring Leaf Secret Art isn’t a good method for truly cultivating True Qi. I’ve been able to cultivate a little bit of Green-Wood True Qi, but it will be difficult to make much more progress with it. Unless I can find a better formula for cultivating True Qi.” Su Jing thought to himself, feeling a bit discouraged by the limitations of his current cultivation method.
Su Jing placed the bronze mirror into his storage bag and brought it into the ecosphere. When he looked at the mice that had been eating insects, he was stunned to see that one of them had undergone a transformation.
Previously, the mice had not shown any changes after eating various insects, so Su Jing had almost given up on this experiment. However, now it seemed that one of the mice had undergone some kind of transformation.
The mouse’s behavior was quite strange. Its tongue was sticking out of its mouth and it was making a hissing sound that was not typical of a mouse.
Instead of crawling on four legs like a normal mouse, it retracted its legs and was moving forward by wriggling on its belly like a snake. Its fur had also become loose and seemed to be shedding.
Overall, the mouse’s behavior and appearance were very unusual and seemed to indicate that it had undergone some kind of transformation.
“Could it be that the bug this mouse ate was poisonous?” Su Jing thought to himself, wondering if this could be the cause of the mouse’s strange behavior. He quickly marked each mouse to keep track of which ones had eaten which insects.
He remembered that this particular mouse had eaten a small, red snake-like bug because none of these bugs had died. In fact, he had fed them to the mice while they were still alive.
It was possible that the venom from the bugs was causing the strange transformation in the mouse.
Su Jing waited to see what would happen to the mouse. After a short while, it stopped moving and Su Jing thought it might be dead. However, suddenly the mouse’s scalp split open and a red snake head emerged.
The red snake slowly crawled out of the mouse’s body, leaving behind only a layer of skin and no other internal organs or flesh. This was a shocking and unexpected development, and Su Jing was stunned and speechless by what he was seeing.
The scene of the red snake emerging from the mouse’s body was extremely unsettling to Su Jing. He was terrified of the large red snake that had come out of the mouse, and he didn’t dare to approach it at all.
Instead, he used his spiritual energy to carefully place the snake-like creature into a glass jar from a distance. He was relieved to have it safely contained and out of harm’s way.
“I think I may have overlooked something before. I’ve been using these insects as materials for experimentation, but it’s possible that there may be some Gu worms among them. This tiny red snake could be a type of Gu worm. I’ve read that the Immortal Gourd Universe has Gu worms, which are known for being unpredictable and dangerous. Even if they don’t appear to be particularly strong or powerful at first glance, they can still be very dangerous.” Su Jing suddenly realized the potential danger of the insects he had been using for experimentation.
He had heard that Gu worms were highly unpredictable and could be very dangerous, even if they didn’t appear to be particularly powerful.
Of course, Su Jing also understood that while these insects could be dangerous, they could also be valuable if used correctly. Therefore, while he was vigilant against them, he did not want to kill them outright.
Instead, he planned to study them carefully in order to learn more about their abilities and potentially find a way to harness their power for his own use.
“Wow, I didn’t realize before that this flower is so fast at regenerating. All the leaves and petals are intact, even though they were damaged when the flower fell. Some of the leaves were almost broken in two, but in just a few days the flower looks as good as new and there was no sign of any damage. Its vitality and resilience are really impressive.” Su Jing was surprised by the flower’s rapid regeneration and strong vitality.
He had not realized before just how quickly the flower was able to repair itself and return to its normal state.
Su Jing examined the flower carefully, hoping to be able to identify what kind of flower it was now that he knew it was from the Immortal Gourd Universe. However, he was unable to find any clues or distinguish it from an ordinary flower.
He had also tried feeding the broken leaves and petals to the mice, but this had not had any effect. Su Jing was disappointed that he was unable to learn more about the flower and its properties.
Unable to find any additional information about the flower, Su Jing decided to temporarily give up and returned to sorting through the garbage. Time passed quickly as he worked, and he was unable to find any more garbage that seemed particularly valuable. Despite his efforts, he had not had much luck in his search.
Suddenly, Su Jing’s phone rang, and when he saw that it was Xiao Rui calling, he answered it. However, instead of Xiao Rui’s voice, he heard a strange man’s voice on the other end of the line: “Excuse me, are you, Mr. Su Jing?”
“Yes, I am but who are you?” Su Jing replied and asked his question.
“Oh, I see. I’m a Billiard Coach, a colleague of Xiao Rui. I didn’t see him all day today and he missed our scheduled lesson. When I returned to the hotel, I found his phone left on the bedside table and it seems strange. I know that he has a good relationship with you and he’s been talking a lot lately about growing taller, so I was hoping you might know where he is?”
“I haven’t seen him for a few days either. When was the last time you saw him?” Su Jing asked, frowning with concern.
“I saw him this morning when he went for a run. After that, I haven’t seen him again,” The Billiard Coach replied.
“Send me the exact location of the hotel and I’ll go there right away.” Su Jing had a sudden feeling of unease and wanted to make sure that Xiao Rui was safe.
His training in the Way of Magic Arts had given him the ability to sense potential danger, and while he couldn’t always accurately predict the cause and effect of complex situations, he still trusted his instincts.
He hoped that he was just being paranoid, but he wanted to be sure that Xiao Rui was okay.
