Chanting snake
Yan Liqiang turned his mind around for several times and realized that he had never heard of the name of this kind of snake, either in his previous life or in this life.
“I named it Nian Snake. This kind of snake is very precious and rare. There is no such species in many worlds. In the Silver Continent where you are, this kind of snake is a very rare spiritual creature. Although it exists, it may not have been discovered or seen by anyone yet. So you probably haven’t heard of the name Nian Snake…” Fu Guang’s voice appeared directly in Yan Liqiang’s consciousness.
"Has no one seen it?"
"It should be, because this kind of snake has a characteristic. It is not a solitary creature, but a special symbiotic creature. It must live in the body of other creatures and live with other creatures!"
"Symbiosis, isn't that the same as parasitism?"
"Parasitism is a one-sided demand, while symbiosis is mutually beneficial. You can provide it with something, and it can also bring you benefits. There are many creatures in a symbiotic relationship. The difference between the Mind Snake and ordinary symbiotic creatures is that it chooses symbiosis within the body!"
"Ah..." Yan Liqiang was surprised, "Then where exactly does it coexist in the body of an organism?"
"This snake lives symbiotically in the brain of an organism!"
"Can such a fragile area as the brain allow this kind of snake to coexist with it? Will the creatures that are coexisting with it become mentally disordered?"
"If you really see this Mind Snake, you will know that it is much smaller than you imagined. Although it lives in the brain of another creature, it will not enter the brain organ. It will only stay outside the cerebral cortex, like a plug-in. It will not affect the normal function and thinking of the brain organ. In fact, if it enters your brain, you can't even feel its existence!"
"Then what does it eat? It can't be the brain, right?" Thinking of this, Yan Liqiang shuddered.
"Of course it doesn't eat the brain, it eats the thoughts!"
"What, thoughts?"
"To put it in your terms, it is the energy brought by consciousness and emotions. You will emit that energy when you are happy or sad, just like your body temperature. Unless you die, your body temperature will never return to zero. The same is true for the energy of consciousness and emotions. You are emitting it all the time when you have thoughts and emotions, but you cannot feel its existence. The food of this mind snake is the energy of consciousness and emotions emitted by your entire body, and it does not eat much, only a small part of your consciousness and emotional energy. Even if it does not eat, your consciousness and emotional energy will naturally dissipate like body temperature and exhaled breath..."
“There are actually creatures that eat this kind of thing?”
"The world is full of wonders. Your previous knowledge structure is not very helpful in understanding the true face of this world!"
"Since this mind snake is parasitic... not symbiotic in my brain, and it takes my thoughts as food, what benefits can it provide me? I remember you just said that this mind snake can help me see and perceive what I think is dangerous. What kind of ability is this?" Yan Liqiang looked at Fu Guang in the crystal ball in confusion.
"To put it simply, if you let the Mind Snake coexist in your head, then it will allow you to receive information about other people's thoughts. As long as that person is in front of you and not far away from you, you will know what he is thinking. In words that you can understand, the Mind Snake can give you the ability to peek into other people's thoughts and perceive their minds!"
"Could this be the legendary telepathy?" Yan Liqiang almost shouted.
"Yes, that's what I mean!"
Even in the Heavenly Dao Divine Realm, Yan Liqiang still felt his head buzz when he heard about the Mind Snake's ability. It took him a long time to react, "Wait... wait, let me think about it from the beginning. Fu Guang, what you mean is that as long as I activate the Mind Snake's life mark, create a Mind Snake and choose to let it coexist, I can use it to gain the ability to peek into other people's thoughts and perceive other people's thinking, that is, to gain the legendary telepathy, and this Mind Snake coexisting in my body will not affect my health and the normal function of my brain. Is that what you mean!"
"Yes, that's what I mean. You can think about it and decide whether or not to activate the life mark of this mind snake and let it live symbiotically in your body..."
"Let me ask you, if one day I don't want it to coexist with me, can I take it out of my head again?"
"Of course you can. As long as you give it such an order in your mind, it will leave your head, and you will lose the ability it brings to you. But you have to pay attention that within one day after it leaves your head, you must let it find a new symbiont, otherwise it will die..."
"So after it lives in my head, am I constantly receiving thoughts and messages from people around me? If so, if I'm in a crowd, isn't it like there's a bunch of people whispering in my ears all the time? I can't help but listen. If this goes on for a long time, I'm afraid I'll develop schizophrenia..."
"That's not the case. If the Mind Snake lives with you, you can choose the target you want to spy on and sense. It is very easy to control. You will know it when the time comes. In addition to humans, as long as you want, you can even sense the thoughts and ideas of many animals..."
Hearing Fu Guang say this, Yan Liqiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the worries and resentments in his heart disappeared instantly. Since the Mind Snake is so powerful, coexisting with a Mind Snake is equivalent to having a powerful telepathic skill, and being able to know what other people are thinking. This is just like being able to directly see the opponent's cards when playing cards, so why not.
"Well, I will choose to activate the life mark of the Mind Snake!"
"Okay, but there is still a small problem..." Fu Guang smiled again.
"what is the problem?"
"The Dantian energy you have injected into the Heavenly Dao Divine Stone is not enough to activate the Life Mark of the Mind Snake!"
"No way, didn't you say before that the Dantian energy I injected into the Heavenly Dao Divine Stone is enough to activate the life imprints of 15 people?"
"The Mind Snake is a very special spiritual creature. To activate its life mark, it requires a huge amount of Dantian energy. In addition to Dantian energy, the activation of the life mark of this spiritual creature also requires a large amount of root bone energy points and wisdom energy points. You are not enough for the latter two. You are still a little short..."
"Just tell me the exact difference. I won't have to work hard for ten or twenty years to get enough, will I? If that's the case, I might as well choose something else!"
"It's not that far off. The three energy values you have accumulated now are actually very close. If the difference was too far, I wouldn't tell you that you can activate a spiritual creature like the Mind Snake. According to your current cultivation progress, as long as you don't slack off, it will be enough to activate the Dantian energy of the Mind Snake within seven to ten days. As for the root energy points and wisdom energy points, one is still short of 518 points, and the other is still short of 877 points..."
Yan Liqiang was really shocked. "The 20,000 points of root energy and wisdom energy stored in the Heavenly Dao Divine Stone are not enough? You know, an average person only has about 100 points of each of those two energies. I only gave Huangmao 50 points of each, and it was already amazing. How could the Mind Snake want more than 20,000 points?"
"If you want to obtain extraordinary things, you must naturally make extraordinary investments, just like you can't use one or two ounces of silver to build a city. You still have the freedom to choose and can choose to activate other life imprints..."
"Nonsense, you've already shown the Mind Snake. How can I sleep without showing a Mind Snake?" Yan Liqiang gritted his teeth and said, "Let me think of a way. At worst, I can just kill a few more scumbags..."
"Well, it's up to you to decide!"
Fu Guang's face slowly disappeared from the crystal ball, and Yan Liqiang's hand also left the Heavenly Dao Divine Stone at the same time...
Yan Liqiang wandered in the Heavenly Dao Divine Realm for a while, looking at the radiant Heavenly Dao Divine Stone. His faith gradually became firmer and unshakable. He then glanced at the entrance to the Heavenly Dao Divine Realm and dove in...
