After he finished eating and drinking, he rested for a while. Then, he leisurely walked to the first deployment spot. He was not in a hurry because he knew that the white sand worms were slow at following the scent. He had spent a long time in the cave, but he only managed to attract three of them. And that was when they were dozens of miles deep into the Gobi Desert. They had only entered less than ten miles into the Gobi Desert, so how many of them could come?
To be honest, he had a mental limit of not being able to catch even one. He would just have to go deeper next time.
However, when he reached the first spot and looked down from the top of the pit, he was shocked!
The porcelain bottle was completely covered with white sand worms. There were at least a hundred of them. How long had it been? How did he attract so many of them?
He did not have time to think about the reason. He quickly picked up the rope next to him and put the lid on the porcelain bottle!
He did not know what was happening inside, but the white sand worms crawling all over the wall reacted quickly when they sensed danger. They burrowed into the sand and disappeared in an instant, leaving only a clean bottle behind.
Lou Xiaoyi felt a little numb. To be honest, after seeing the worms crawling over the porcelain bottle, he did not want to go down and move the bottle!
What if one of them accidentally escaped from the bottle and ran out? What if the large group of worms hiding in the sand saw someone coming down and swarmed over?
Lou Xiaoyi was a little scared when he imagined himself covered in worms. To be honest, whether it was in his previous life or in this life, he was not a brave person. He was just pretending to be brave. He was not scared of blood and had trypophobia. Who knew what would happen in the future …
Fortunately, his savior arrived soon enough.
Looking at Ping An, who was following him, Lou Xiaoyi was very kind and firm.
"Ping An, go down and bring the bottle up!"
Ping An wanted to cry but had no tears. Of course, he knew that his little master must be catching something strange. Was it a sand snake? Or a sand scorpion? Sand spider? He did not know!
The only thing he knew was that it must be something disgusting! It was hiding in the bottle and crawling around …
His little master kindly passed him two clips. "Clamp the lid tightly. Okay, don't peek!"
Ping An had no choice. Who asked him to eat the rice of Lou Province?
He jumped into the pit with fear and trepidation. Then, he carefully clamped the lid of the porcelain bottle with a pair of tongs. Then, he climbed out with Lou Xiaoyi's help. After that, he carefully wrapped a piece of cloth around the seams …
Lou Xiaoyi was afraid that the insects inside would escape, but Ping An's heart was pounding. He didn't know what kind of monster was inside!
After Ping 'an loaded the bottle onto the horse's back, he continued to close the second bottle cap. He did the same thing, but from beginning to end, Ping' an did not see what was inside.
On the way back, Lou Xiaoyi was in high spirits, humming an unknown tune. No matter who he met, he would greet them cordially. Ping An was the exact opposite. It was not because of anything else, but because there were two bottles hanging behind his horse's buttocks. He always felt that something was biting his buttocks. After walking a few steps, he would look back … walk again, look again …
He was already seriously considering the possibility of continuing to work in Lou Province. The problem was, once he boarded his little master's pirate ship, it would not be easy to get off!
"Young Master, I think it's not appropriate for you to bring these two bottles back to the residence! If something escapes, will anyone still live in the residence? Or, it could be harmful to the Old Madame! "
Lou Xiaoyi glanced at him. "Don't use my mother to pressure me. I know what's right and what's wrong! I'm not playing around. You have to understand that!
We'll go in through the side door and go directly to my study! Don't let anyone see! "
They were quite lucky. The two old ladies had not returned yet. If they knew that the result of this incense offering was that the brat had gone to the Gobi Desert again, what would they think?
Ping An escaped from his little master's courtyard. He was afraid that his little master, who was getting more and more out of control, would force him to open the bottle! Just thinking about what might crawl out of the bottle gave him goosebumps all over his body!
Ordinary people who had not undergone special training would not be able to accept such a scene.
He was wrong. Lou Xiaoyi really did not use anyone else to complete the final procedure!
That was because he did not have a plan to mature them!
Initially, he wanted to catch a few to study their habits and see if he could come up with a better solution. Who knew that he would be able to find hundreds of White Sand Worms in two bottles in such a short time? If the bottles were left open for another half a day, he was sure that there would be thousands of white sand worms in each bottle!
He also understood why the plan went so smoothly. It went so smoothly that he dared not imagine it!
That was because when he was trapped in the cave, the pufferstring incense was mixed with the lamp oil. Most of it had been diluted, and most of it had been burned. That was why the incense was not strong enough.
This time, it was very different. This was the purest pufferstring incense without any impurities. Also, because he did not know the amount, he poured a little too much. A total of ten taels of silver was poured into the sand pit!
If there was a next time, he would definitely not do this. He would pour less or dilute it with other liquids.
The white sand worms were caught too easily, and Lou Xiaoyi's rhythm was disrupted. He originally wanted to study and experiment at the same time. For example, how could he extract the spiritual energy from the white sand worms and use it on himself?
He could not possibly eat them, right?
Eat them raw? Yes, he could definitely retain the spiritual energy, but that was too disgusting. He could not swallow them raw because he was worried that those little things would turn his stomach upside down! However, if he wanted to chew them in his mouth and circulate his Qi, even if he was an old soul who had experienced time travel, he could not do it.
Eat them cooked? Should he steam or boil them? Should he fry them? Should he add oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar? Or stir-fry them with shredded pork? Should he add garlic?
Most importantly, he felt that if he ate them cooked, he would not be able to retain the spiritual energy. That would be meaningless.
In the summary of Mount Zhong's cultivation, there was an introduction to the different types of spiritual energy that humans could absorb. The best type was the spiritual vigor that flowed naturally between heaven and earth. As there were no impurities and no attributes, it was very suitable for everyone.
The second type was spiritual objects. As spiritual objects were man-made, they had their own direction and preferences. Once you absorbed it, you would automatically inherit the teachings of the person who created the spiritual object. In the future, you would have no choice but to follow this path. You would have no choice but to walk down this path.
Lastly, there were spiritual vigor lifeforms, including animals and plants. These lifeforms also had their own attributes. For example, the precious Fire Rattan Wood had the fire attribute, and the Cold Li Grass had the water attribute. As for animals, needless to say, the higher the level of the animal, the more unique the spiritual vigor attribute it had. Unless you wanted to become a monster, no one would absorb the spiritual energy of a monster.
However, in this theoretical system, there were some exceptions!
For example, among the animal species, those low-level monsters that did not have spiritual intelligence and only relied on their instincts to collect spiritual vigor. They could not even be considered monsters, but the spiritual energy in their bodies was the purest and had not been modified!
These little creatures included the white sand worms!
