Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Profound Yin Blood Mosquito

Yang Jing walked forward and picked up the insect egg from the ground. Compared to its kin, this egg was astonishingly large—about the size of a goose egg and shaped like a semi-transparent sphere.

The egg’s outer layer was a sturdy shell, and its interior was a semi-transparent yolk, revealing a small insect curled into a ball within.

The larva’s body was the color of Bloodstone, a glossy, blood-red hue, and it was curled into a ring. Its body twitched from time to time. After sensing the warmth of Yang Jing’s palm through the shell, it transmitted a feeling of deep affection.

Since the eggs were unfertilized, all the offspring produced by the Three Capitals Blood Demon Mosquito Mother using the Crimson Yin Blood Coagulation Technique were female. After emerging from the egg case, the vicious Blood Evil Qi around it had actually receded, showing no trace of the savagery it had displayed when it devoured all its sisters.

Only by activating his Bright Qi Talent could Yang Jing perceive the incredibly profound Demon Nature and ferocity within it.

The larva inside the egg already possessed its own consciousness, but because it hadn’t fully hatched, Yang Jing couldn’t see its attributes.

He tucked the egg into his sleeve, then summoned Red Fire and ignited the body of the Three Capitals Blood Demon Mosquito Mother on the ground.

Because all of its Essence Blood had been absorbed by the egg, its body was little more than a desiccated husk. The moment Red Fire touched it, it erupted in a blazing inferno, turning to a cloud of ash in an instant.

Yang Jing placed the egg in a Copper Tripod, poured in water from the Spiritual Spring, and dissolved a Blood Circulation Pill in it.

The red Elixir Liquid was devoured at an astonishing speed. After just a few breaths, the water was clear again; an entire Upper Grade Blood Circulation Pill had been completely consumed by the egg.

Yang Jing fed it five Blood Circulation Pills in a row before a faint consciousness emanated from the egg, indicating it was full. It also communicated to Yang Jing that qi and blood alone were not enough for it to hatch—it needed more flesh and blood.

“Papa, you need to bury me in the flesh of a Demon Beast. Only then will my outer shell begin to soften so I can break free and hatch.”

This message appeared as a thought in Yang Jing’s mind.

Yang Jing was shocked. ’Directly communicating via Divine Sense… This is more like an Outer Celestial Demon than a regular Demon.’

“Don’t call me Papa. Call me Master.”

Yang Jing said, testing the waters.

A wave of hurt feelings emanated from the egg. It had clearly understood his words.

Yang Jing summoned Iron Head and had him watch over the egg. Iron Head was filled with Celestial True Yang, the bane of Outer Celestial Demons, making him better suited to monitor the egg than Yinjiao, whose Cultivation of the True Yang Body was still shallow.

The Dragon Blood Carp Flesh had already been eaten by the master and his two disciples, and the food supplies in Wang Tong’s courtyard were nearly depleted. Yang Jing had no choice but to use the Inconstant Illusionary Form Technique to alter his appearance, go to the Jishui Riverbank, and catch three ten-foot-long Demon Fish.

Since it was the end of the autumn defensive season, the Jishui River was teeming with Demon Fish. Yang Jing used his Bright Qi Talent to locate them, getting a bite almost every time he cast his line. It took him practically no effort to catch the three Demon Fish.

But the egg’s appetite far exceeded Yang Jing’s expectations. It took the egg only an hour to completely devour a ten-foot-long Demon Fish, leaving nothing but a shriveled fish skin.

For the next several days, Yang Jing had no choice but to go fishing at the Jishui River after his shifts at the Celestial Treasure Tower to satisfy the egg’s astonishing appetite.

Such low-grade wares as Demon Beast Flesh were not part of the Celestial Treasure Tower’s inventory.

After it had been fed nearly a dozen Demon Fish, the egg’s tough shell grew thinner and softer, while the yolk inside was gradually absorbed by the larva until nothing remained.

Then, one day, the egg sent a message to Yang Jing’s mind, telling him that she was about to hatch.

Yang Jing’s spirits lifted. ’Today’s the day I’ll find out if the larva inherited its mother’s Cocoon Formation and Embryonic Development. This Talent is incredibly important to me.’ Even he couldn’t help but feel a little anxious.

As the master and his two disciples watched, the larva within the egg stretched its body, effortlessly pierced the shell, and wriggled out.

Compared to an ordinary mosquito larva, it was much larger—nearly half a foot long. It resembled a large, red silkworm, its body a glossy, blood-red, as if carved from Bloodstone.

[Name]: Profound Yin Blood Mosquito (Larval Stage)

[Species Level]: Legendary

[Power]: Mortal Body

[Talent]: Celestial Demon Blood Transformation (Legendary), True Demon Blood (Legendary), Cocoon Formation and Embryonic Development (Legendary), Blood Absorption and Shadow Tracking (Rare), Blood Concealment Breath (Rare)

[Cultivation Technique]: None [Skill]: None

[Affinity]: 100

Yang Jing hadn’t expected the Profound Yin Blood Mosquito’s Talents to be so luxurious, rivaling even those of Yinjiao, who was a Pure-blooded Flood Dragon. Moreover, its Affinity was already at max value from the very beginning.

’This must be the effect of the Beast Taming Blood Contract.’

And most importantly, the Cocoon Formation and Embryonic Development Talent he valued so much had been retained.

But judging from its two Talents, Celestial Demon Blood Transformation and True Demon Blood, it had indeed become a creature that was part monster, part demon. For instance, the True Demon Blood Talent should be similar to the True Demon Bone of the Three Corpses Bone Demon.

Without hesitation, Yang Jing formed a contract with it. A subtle, unseen connection formed between the two of them.

“From now on, your name will be Chi Yu.”

He said to the Profound Yin Blood Mosquito, which still resembled a small larva.

Chi Yu sent a wave of happy emotions toward Yang Jing, wriggled its body, and crawled onto his palm.

“From now on, she is your Junior Sister.”

Yang Jing said to Iron Head and Yinjiao.

Iron Head eagerly shuffled closer to Yang Jing’s palm, his big eyes wide as he stared at his new Junior Sister, who still looked like a tiny larva.

“I have a Junior Sister now!”

Yinjiao, however, simply stood back and watched. ’This Junior Sister’s origins are certainly strange,’ he thought, ’but since Master took her as a disciple, he must have his reasons. It’s just that the Profound Yin Blood Demon aura on her is a bit too strong. I’m worried… I wonder if Master can truly guide a Junior Sister with such deep demonic roots.’

Since Iron Head had just finished cultivating the Tiger Roar Iron Cloth Shirt, his body was still radiating Celestial Yang Qi. As he drew near, Chi Yu immediately transmitted a feeling of revulsion and wriggled away from him.

Iron Head immediately looked dejected.

Chi Yu was still too small, and Yang Jing didn’t know if it could withstand the potency of a Transformation Pill. He decided to wait until after it molted and became a mosquito before feeding it the pill to induce its Transformation.

’Chi Yu’s growth trajectory is likely completely different from an ordinary Blood Shadow Mosquito’s now. The Wu Family’s records on cultivating Blood Shadow Mosquitos can only serve as a reference; they won’t be much real use.’

Yang Jing had no idea how much blood-food Chi Yu needed to consume to accumulate enough qi and blood to form a cocoon. He tentatively offered it a Blood Circulation Pill. Chi Yu immediately attached itself to the pill and, like a silkworm devouring a mulberry leaf, gnawed it down to nothing.

Yang Jing fed it five in a row before Chi Yu finally lifted its head and shook it, signaling that it couldn’t eat anymore.

An ordinary Martial Artist could use five Upper Grade Blood Circulation Pills to prepare for a breakthrough to the Innate Martial Artist realm. For Chi Yu, however, it only caused its aura to grow slightly, and it showed no sign of forming a cocoon.
