The bedroom of the old master of the Li family was now surrounded by monks. On the bed, the old master was skinny and his face was purple-red, a sickly purple-red.
From time to time, one could see the old man's body twitching unconsciously, and the vitality in his body was receding like the tide.
Chen Feng sat on the edge of the bed, holding the old man's hand with one hand, and guiding his spiritual consciousness into the old man's body.
There was silence all around, and everyone was looking at the scene nervously, fearing that if they spoke any sound, they would disturb Chen Feng from diagnosing the old man.
Chen Feng's immortal consciousness flowed in the old man's body, feeling every corner of the old man's body.
The old man's body was indeed extremely weak, and he had even lost his vitality. He would pass away soon.
However, Chen Feng had his own inference. After all, the old man was a strong man in the middle stage of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Immortal. Even if his body was seriously injured, there would at least be some immortal essence left in his body. However, after Chen Feng's investigation, he did not find any immortal essence in the old man's body.
HH
Could it be that this has something to do with the poison given by Master Ren Dan
But why didn’t I find any toxins in the old man’s meridians
Chen Feng was puzzled, and then his mind suddenly lit up: "Could it be that the poison is in the Dantian?"
The Dantian of a cultivator is the source of his power, especially after he becomes an immortal, his Nascent Soul has disappeared and returned to the Dantian, and the Dantian has become the source of energy again. Therefore, ordinary people would never dare to explore other people's Dantian, because if they are not careful, they will be hurt by the powerful energy in the Dantian and their consciousness will be damaged.
However, the situation was critical at the moment and Chen Feng had no time to take care of these things. He gritted his teeth and controlled his spiritual consciousness to rush towards the old man's dantian.
Then, Chen Feng only felt a "boom" sound, and that immortal consciousness had already rushed into the old man's dantian.
The expected pressure did not come, but Chen Feng saw a strange scene.
I saw a worm as thick as a thumb slowly wriggling in the old man’s dantian, and it was surrounded by violent energy.
These energies gathered near the worm and attacked it frantically, as if they wanted to kill it completely.
However, the worm was not panicked at all. Instead, a large amount of energy was swallowed by the worm while it was wriggling. Chen Feng's immortal consciousness clearly captured that the worm's body had become thicker because of swallowing this energy.
"Hey, what on earth is this worm? Is it poisonous? Or a living thing?" Chen Feng looked at the worm and couldn't help but marvel in his heart.
In the blink of an eye, the worms have swallowed nearly one-fifth of the energy. I believe that in a short time, the energy in the old man's dantian will be completely devoured by the worms.
"No, we can't delay any longer." Chen Feng was shocked and immediately controlled his spiritual consciousness to probe towards the worm.
Obviously, the old man's condition was getting worse and worse, all because of this worm that devoured Dantian's energy. If he couldn't find out the strength of this worm, even if Chen Feng had all the means, he would be powerless.
He couldn't cut open the old man's abdomen, split open his pubic region, and catch the worms, could he? If he did that, regardless of whether he could catch the worms, the old man would be tortured to death by him.
As Chen Feng's spiritual consciousness probed towards the worm, the worm's head suddenly raised up, and a pair of dark red eyes stared straight at Chen Feng's spiritual consciousness.
Suddenly, Chen Feng felt a strong sense of tension rising from the bottom of his heart, as if he had met his natural enemy, and he became inexplicably panicked.
"It's just a small bug, why should I be afraid of it?" Chen Feng consoled himself in this way, but his spiritual consciousness had already taken effect on the worm.
After this investigation, Chen Feng was certain that this worm was not a toxin, but a living creature.
"What kind of insect is this? It can not only drill into people's Dantian, but also devour the energy in the Dantian to strengthen itself." Chen Feng was thinking about countermeasures in his mind while recalling what he had learned over the years.
Finally, Chen Feng suddenly remembered that he had accidentally come across an ancient book in Black Cloud Ridge. The book seemed to introduce a kind of insect that was very similar to this worm.
The insects were called spirit-eating insects, which lived by devouring the strength of cultivators. They were a parasite that frightened people. However, these insects had long been extinct in ancient times, and no news of them had been heard in the cultivation world for a long time.
"If it really is a spirit-eating insect, perhaps this is an opportunity for me!" A bold idea suddenly arose in Chen Feng's mind.
He controlled his spiritual consciousness and rushed fiercely towards the location of the soul-eating insect's mind, trying to leave his mark in the soul-eating insect's mind.
According to Chen Feng's idea, this spirit-eating insect was probably controlled by the Ren Dan Master before, and it should be able to recognize its master. If it can be subdued, Chen Feng will have another trump card.
In just a few days, the old man was tortured almost to death, which shows how powerful this soul-eating insect is.
As Chen Feng's spiritual consciousness penetrated, the spirit-eating insect's body suddenly twisted violently.
At the same time, Chen Feng felt a will, a simple yet fierce will.
Chen Feng understood that this will was the will of the Soul Devouring Insect. As long as he could subdue this will, Chen Feng would be able to easily imprint his mark in its mind. At that time, the Soul Devouring Insect would be completely at Chen Feng's disposal.
However, although the will of the spirit-eating insect is not strong, it is extremely pure. It is impossible for Chen Feng to make it surrender in a day or a night.
"No, if we delay for a while longer, the energy in the old man's dantian will probably be devoured by the spirit-eating insect. We must completely subdue the spirit-eating insect before that!" Chen Feng thought to himself. He immediately hardened his heart and mobilized a large amount of immortal consciousness to merge into the old man's dantian. It was like an army of thousands, surrounding the spirit-eating insect without any escape.
However, the will of the soul-eating insect was too pure, and Chen Feng was still unable to suppress it for a long time.
“Gurgle gurgle—”
Chen Feng's actions obviously stimulated the spirit-eating insect. While resisting Chen Feng's oppression, it swallowed the energy in its dantian in big mouthfuls. The energy in the old man's dantian was rapidly decreasing and would soon reach the bottom.
"No, we must suppress this spirit-eating insect immediately, at least we cannot let it continue to devour power." Chen Feng was extremely anxious. Although the old man of the Li family had no intersection with Chen Feng, the head of the Li family, Chen Feihong, treated him sincerely and just now he was willing to oppose the Li family to protect him. With this friendship, Chen Feng did not want to disappoint Chen Feihong.
But what should we do now
