"How is that possible? It can only turn the hostâs blood into poisonous blood, able to kill without any antidote..." Tang Wanqian stroked his beard, "However, that depends on the hostâs ability; some might never be able to control that thing in their whole life..."
"But youâve been talking for so long and havenât mentioned the Tang Sect legacy?" Yang Ruxin raised her eyebrow slightly.
"The Tang Sect has a cavern." Tang Wanqian coughed, "Inside thereâs a gigantic poisonous insect, which was nurtured by our ancestors with their own flesh and blood, reputed to have been fed for sixty years, and later our ancestor entered the cavern before passing away and offered all his flesh to it. Only then did it become the true Poisonous Insect King..."
"So the legacy is this Poisonous Insect King?" Yang Ruxinâs skin crawled with goosebumps. Human blood nurturing insects? It sounded so eerie!
"Sort of." Tang Wanqian nodded, "The ancestor also used that Poisonous Insect King to breed the Mother of Ten Thousand Insects. After his death, he left a handwritten note in the cavern. Since then, only those protected by the Mother of Ten Thousand Insects can be the true Sect Leader. Moreover, every Tang Sect Leader must go to the cavern to awaken this Poisonous Insect King. According to the handwritten notes left by the ancestor, only the Sect Leader who awakens the Poisonous Insect King truly obtains the Tang Sect legacy, and by then, their abilities will undergo a remarkable enhancement..." He paused, "Unfortunately, I never awakened that Poisonous Insect King, so I donât know what kind of enhancement it would be..."
"So can you traverse the poisonous fog?"
"I can only stay in the poisonous fog for an hour longer than Dao Xuzi, but canât pass through it..."
Yang Ruxin suddenly understood.
"Xinxin, give it a try." Dao Xuzi looked at Yang Ruxin with a smile full of wrinkles.
In the end, being cornered by the two old men, she could only nod in agreement to become Tang Wanqianâs apprentice.
The apprenticeship was set for three days later.
When the news spread, the happiest person was Yu Qingge; she felt that she was destined for a leisurely life, not wanting to wear herself out doing those earth-shattering things, and of course, she was very self-aware that she wasnât suited for it.
"Sis, I think Grandfather really treats me well." Yu Qingge clung to Yang Ruxin and wouldnât let go, "In my past life, I had Dad, Mom, and Big Brother taking care of me. Coming to such a peculiar place, and now I have you shielding me, I must have saved the Milky Way Galaxy..."
Yang Ruxin pushed her away disdainfully, "So, Iâm destined to toil and worry, right?"
"No, thatâs not what I meant. Iâve always said, the more capable should do more work, Sis; youâre born with the protagonist aura..."
"Stop flattering me... Now, galactic beauty, hurry up and get out of my sight; seeing you is making me nervous..."
"Iâm rolling out immediately." Yu Qingge ran off.
Yang Ruxin puckered her lips, forgetting about it, not sparring with this girl anymore. There arenât many people who live carefree and free like her, but alas, she canât envy that. In her past life, she had a heap of responsibilities, and arriving here, the same burdens couldnât be shaken off. So, everyone has their own fate, and since it canât be pushed aside, itâs time to roll up the sleeves and work hard.
In the afternoon, Yang Ruxin entered the village and arrived at Tie Danâs house in the south.
Yesterday in town, because of the fatal incident, she didnât have time to give that kid any motivational talk. Today, she had to come and check the situation.
"Xinxin, youâre here." Xiaoyu opened the door, and seeing her, his eyes lit up, "Please, talk some sense into my brother."
