Chapter 546 - 545
Standing on the periphery, Ku Rong, the old monk, cursed himself in his mind for his disciple being such an idiot, while at the same time feeling a wave of emotion, "Well, I totally owe Ye Tian this kid a favor now."
With the death of Shangjia Moti, the Vast Jiao vanished like smoke into thin air, which was quite a normal manifestation of the Gu Technique, but it still caused the brave little monk from just a moment ago to scream in alarm, looking as if he was seeing something rare and strange. Old monk Ku Rong gave the little monk a slap on the back of his head, scolding him for being so pathetic, while the lifesaver did not come out, ignoring the three Bodhi seeds glittering with light, and not picking them up. Instead, he was meticulously searching the ground for the Ice Worm that had been crushed into mush, with such earnestness as if he were a beggar picking through trash on the street.
Not intending any disrespect, but calling him a beggar was even flattering considering his tattered clothes.
At the place where the Ice Worm had been trampled to death, Ye Tian looked over the area repeatedly but could not even find a lump of flesh. The handful of mud he grudgingly picked up only retained a faint trace of the Ice Worm’s presence, which for the Ice Worm, was less than a drop in the bucket, not even comparable to a single hair.
"Ice Worms are the most venomous creatures in the world, yet they are also the most fragile. If they leave the host’s body, even the slightest environmental change can have disastrous consequences. Just like the State Preceptor’s kick just now, the Ice Worm vanished upon hitting the ground, and has probably already evaporated into snow water and disappeared."
Ye Tian, squatting on the ground and searching intently, heard someone speaking behind him, but did not turn around, continuing to painstakingly pick at the soil, pinch it between his fingers, and sniff it closely, repeating this many times, only to shake his head and cast it to the ground, returning empty-handed.
He stood up and looked at the person behind him, a prodigious genius only seen once in centuries.
Bodhi held out three Bodhi seeds, handing them to Ye Tian, "These were found inside his body, I think they should belong to you."
