Lonemoon frowned. He felt like he had just seen a fake worm king. He couldn't be bothered with it. He walked towards Shen Ying and looked at the egg in her hand. "How is it, Shen Ying? Is this the spirit seed?"
Shen Ying frowned. After a while, she replied, "Maybe …" With that said, she suddenly tightened her grip. There was a crisp sound. The spirit seed was crushed.
"Holy shit, Shen Ying, what are you … Eh?" He stopped mid-sentence. "It's empty!" How could this be? He looked at her palm carefully. There was only an empty eggshell. There was nothing inside. Even the aura of the original source on the egg had disappeared.
All of a sudden, the three of them turned to look at a certain huge body.
"It's … it's none of my business, Lord!" The queen shuddered. Her entire body shook. Even the house fell a layer of dust. It looked like it was about to collapse. "I … I didn't open the egg. I just absorbed some of the energy on the eggshell. Really! I swear! " With that said, she raised her eight claws and two antennae. Only her huge stomach was left to maintain her body.
"This spirit seed might not have been in the egg from the beginning." Yi Qing said in a low voice. "This might be why we couldn't find its location at Immortal Academy." The original Qi on the eggshell was too weak. They couldn't find it unless they saw it face to face. At first, they thought it was because the eggshell was shielding the spirit seed. They didn't expect that the spirit seed was not here at all.
Lonemoon thought about it. That was true! This queen wouldn't dare to lie to Shen Ying. Besides, the spirit seed was so rich in original Qi. If it was really in the worm nest, they couldn't have not detected it.
"What do we do now?" He frowned. The clue was broken again. "Where can we find it?"
"Now that the eggshell is here, it's very likely that the spirit seed has already left this state." Yi Qing frowned too. "We don't know what state it will appear in. We really don't know where to start looking."
The two of them fell silent. They didn't expect to be in vain.
"Why don't we ask Fishbone?" Shen Ying suddenly said.
"What Fishbone?" Lonemoon was stunned. After a while, he reacted. "You mean Ling Wen Xuan? Why are you looking for him? "
Yi Qing paused and hurriedly reminded, "Father Niu, do you remember how Ling Wen Xuan's leg was injured?"
"Ah?" Lonemoon still did not understand. "Didn't you say that we went on a mission with the academy and then encountered a demon beast and brought along this spirit … Holy shit!" He reacted instantly and his eyes widened. "Don't tell me he was the one who brought this spiritual seed back?!"
Ling Hong had told him before that the prize for first place in the competition was found by Ling Wen Xuan when he broke his leg on a mission. This proved that they must have encountered danger before they found the Spirit Seed. Ling Wen Xuan was also injured, so he naturally knew what happened at that time.
"Let's go, let's go back and find him!" He walked out, and Shen Ying and Yi Qing followed.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them disappeared from the room. A certain huge object that was still huddled in the corner heaved a sigh of relief. However, it still did not dare to make too much noise, afraid that it would attract the attention of the person who had already gone far away.
It actually didn't die, it was still alive, it actually didn't go extinct! I want to cry …

The few of them flew very quickly. In less than a quarter of an hour, they flew back to Yang City and went straight to Ling Hong's house. Ling Hong had gone to the academy. When they arrived, he was still not back. Ling Wen Xuan, who opened the door, was stunned for a moment when he saw them. He hurriedly welcomed them in.
"Three benefactors, why are you here?" His expression lit up, and he invited them to take a seat. In just a few days, his leg had already recovered, and he walked no different from a normal person. Lonemoon glanced at him and found that the demonic Qi in his body had also dissipated completely, and he had regained his Golden Core cultivation.
"I was originally planning to wait for my younger brother to come back and personally thank you, I didn't think that the three of you would come here first." He looked at the three of them and asked, as if thinking of something, "I remember that today is the day of the finals. Why didn't Ling Hong come back with benefactors?"
"We had something on, so we left first," Lonemoon replied. "I took the liberty of disturbing you this time because I have something important to ask Fellow Daoist Ling."
"Fellow Daoist is too courteous. Just call me Wen Xuan." His smile became even more gentle. "My leg only recovered because of your help. As long as benefactors have any use for me, just say the word. I will definitely not hesitate to climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flames. "
"Fellow Daoist is too kind." Lonemoon habitually replied politely. "We only helped to refine the fish bones. It's not much of a favor."
His expression became even more solemn. "Benefactors, what are you saying! My younger brother can't tell, but how can I not know? No matter how special that Red Scented Fish Bone is, it can't heal my leg and restore my cultivation. " He said directly, "The medicine that benefactors gave me that day is completely different from the one that my younger brother made. I understand that it was benefactors who helped me secretly that I could recover so quickly!"
With that said, he directly knelt down and solemnly bowed to the three of them. "Many thanks, benefactors, for giving me a new lease on life!"
"Fellow Daoist Wen Xuan, don't stand on ceremony!" He didn't expect him to be such an understanding person. That's good. Lonemoon hurriedly helped him up. "Last time was just a small effort, but now we do have something important that we need to trouble you with."
"Benefactors, please speak!" Ling Wen Xuan seemed to see their eagerness. Without further delay, he directly asked.
"Fellow Daoist, can you tell us in detail about this Easter egg?" He directly took out the Easter egg that was crushed by Shen Ying and then restored by him using sorcery. "Where did you find it that day? Did you encounter anything?"
"This … Easter egg?" Ling Wen Xuan was stunned. He took a look at that egg and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. "So fellow Daoist won the championship of the United Competition! Congratulations, fellow Daoist. " He happily congratulated him and then answered, "Actually, this egg was found when I went to the Flame Mountain in the north with the academy's teachers for a mission."
He carefully recalled for a while before continuing. "That Flame Mountain is a volcano. There are many beasts in the Flame Forest nearby. At that time, a high-level beast broke into a nearby town and could not be dealt with. So we asked the Immortal Spirit Academy to help. And this Easter egg was found in the beast's nest when we were exterminating it. "
"Other than that, did anything strange happen?" Lonemoon continued to ask.
"No." He shook his head. "Speaking of strange … that beast was unexpectedly ferocious. Even the teachers could not completely defend against it. So I …" He subconsciously looked down at his feet and sighed. "After I was bitten, I lost all my cultivation and could not use any sorcery at all."
