I Come to Teach You Cultivation - Chapter 363 - 1: The Three-Eyed Clan (1/3)
Hundred Lands Mountain Range, at the top of Ghost God Cliff on Feilai Peak.
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud explosion, a column of black smoke slowly drifted into the air.
To this, the Ghost Gods of Yunmeng Marsh merely glanced casually, paying no further attention.
Because similar incidents have occurred countless times in the past two years, everyone is already accustomed to it.
"You blew up the furnace again?"
"Didn’t I tell you something was wrong this time! Next time you should listen to me!"
Looking at the dusty-faced Li Boyang, Xiluo teased with a chuckle.
At this moment, Xiluo was neither in her Wenli Red Leopard form, nor in her half-human, half-beast Evil God form.
She now appeared with a standard feminine image.
Her features were exquisite, her demeanor graceful, every movement exuding an unusual charm.
Especially with that modified Feather Robe in flaming red hues.
The ribbons, like living creatures, danced behind her, making Xiluo look like a celestial fairy descending to the mortal realm.
"Listening to an illiterate like you, the furnace would just explode even more violently."
Rolling his eyes at Xiluo with a hint of annoyance, Li Boyang wasn’t swayed by her charming jabs at all.
Not far in front of Li Boyang, the Prison Soul Tripod that ought to have been dazzling was now a charred mess, its engravings damaged by the explosion.
Fortunately, Li Boyang triggered the [Original Talisman] beneath him just in time.
Swoosh!
In the blink of an eye, the damaged Prison Soul Tripod restored its original appearance.
The [Tai Chi Diagram] affixed to the tripod naturally rotated, slowly decomposing and digesting the "residue" inside.
Thankfully, with the balance of Yin and Yang provided by the [Tai Chi Diagram], it was nothing more than just a furnace explosion.
The materials and Primordial Qi Li Boyang had put in earlier could have blown up half of Yunmeng Marsh.
"I told you two years ago, you shouldn’t have let Kunwu leave." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"If he were here, your ’Elixir of Immortality’ would probably have been completed long ago."
Upon hearing this, Li Boyang just shook his head in denial.
"This has nothing to do with Kunwu; I underestimated the role of the ’Undying Tripod.’
"Wu Peng only mentioned that the ’Undying Tripod’ was a ritual for cultivating the Elixir of Immortality, but he obviously withheld some crucial information."
"I even suspect now that the ’Undying Tripod’ might just be the root and stem of an Immortal Grass."
With a sigh of slight regret, Li Boyang realizes he can no longer find Wu Peng now.
Because shortly after Kunwu left, Wu Peng also quietly vanished from Feilai Peak.
No matter how much Li Boyang used the Divination Method, he couldn’t pinpoint Wu Peng’s location.
This means possibly another from the Spirit Mountain Ten Witches intervened, perfectly obscuring destiny.
"Do you still plan to continue refining the ’Elixir of Immortality’?"
Walking slowly to Li Boyang’s side, Xiluo plopped down beside him.
In the process, the ribbons behind Xiluo danced automatically, forming clusters of auspicious clouds to support her.
"You’ve adapted quite quickly, haven’t you?"
"Are you sure you haven’t been truly influenced by this Feather Robe?"
Raising an eyebrow, Li Boyang was somewhat surprised at how Xiluo integrated the Feather Robe into her daily life.
Since acquiring the Feather Robe, Xiluo not only maintained a human appearance most of the time, but also liked using its various features.
For example, the ribbons crafted to suppress the negative effects of the Feather Robe.
These ribbons not only used precious silks left by the Huai River Witch, but Xuansi Gu also contributed a lot of spider silk.
All to further facilitate their forming.
Li Boyang even specifically infused Heaven and Earth Essence Qi into them, granting the ability to control auspicious clouds.
Li Boyang’s intent was actually to endow these ribbons with a simplified version of the [Soaring Clouds and Mist] Divine Power.
But because of their non-consumable nature, Xiluo played with them plenty.
In daily life, walking, sitting, and lying down, Xiluo would consistently summon these auspicious clouds, appearing fondly attached to them.
Heaven have mercy, these ribbons are essentially weapons similar to the [God-Binding Rope] in nature.
"Can’t I just appreciate beauty?"
Glaring fiercely at Li Boyang, the ever-more human-like Xiluo said.
"Rather than that, I feel you should first focus on the situation with the mountain people!"
"In the past two years, it seems like more and more villages are having Three-eyed Infants?"
"If it weren’t for your and Lu’s precedent, the mountain people’s reaction might be more than just panic."
Prompted by Xiluo’s reminder, Li Boyang recalled the changes of the past two years.
With the mountain people’s lives improving more and more.
The new population in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range is also increasing visibly.
And with Li Boyang’s compilation of the "Comprehensive Basic Disease Enlightenment and Operation Manual," the quality of the newborn population has surpassed that of the previous millennia.
Perhaps because maternal nutrition has improved, or maybe due to the spread of the Breathing Technique...
Regardless of the reasons, the result is that about ten percent of newborns in the past two years were born with their third eye opened at their foreheads.
Although their third eyes are merely flesh eyes, with only the most basic Thousand-Mile Eye effect.
This signifies a phenomenon: the mountain people of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range are evolving—a kind of evolution predetermined by the Huai River Witch thousands of years ago.
As a result, many of the humans and Spirit Monsters migrating to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range have started to call the native mountain people the "Three-Eyed Race."
Li Boyang doesn’t really mind the name change among the mountain people; he is more concerned about the meaning behind this designation.
It’s a form of implicit discrimination and a unique societal division.
Improper handling could plant a massive hidden danger for the future of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
"This is indeed troublesome and quite thorny to handle."
Saying this, Li Boyang was reminded of the Longbo Kingdom, Dingling Kingdom, and Great Nether Kingdom.
These special realms, different from ordinary humans, being located in remote polar regions and islands, are clearly not just coincidences.
Especially in this era of great change, unique appearances signify being of a different kind.
"Of course. Even their biological parents view the Three-eyed Infants as freaks, let alone those ignorant outsiders."
"If it weren’t for Big Girl and Qiwa running around everywhere, I suspect many Three-eyed Infants would have been drowned by now."
Even though Li Boyang and Lu Huaijin’s potential presence create a divine symbol with three eyes in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
Ultimately, there are always those ignorant individuals, driven by fear or malice, pushing newborns with their uncovered peculiarities into dire situations.
"You’ve all worked hard. I’ll take care of this matter next."
