Chapter 42 The Origin of Golden Light

Master Jin Guang Qin Jingguang knelt on the ground with a humble look on his face. He took the initiative to reveal his real name and dared not call himself "Master" anymore.

Mo Juren then put away the gray light, turning it back into a small sword talisman, then he stepped to the horse outside the yard and took something out of his luggage.

He dodged back again, moved closer, pinched Master Jin Guang's mouth open, stuffed the food in, and forced him to eat it.

Master Jin Guang was a little panicked and resisted,

"Ahem, what is that? What did the master give me to eat?"

"Haha, don't worry, it's just a small bug."

Master Jin Guang felt the situation in his body, and then saw the queen insect that Tie Nu handed to Mo Juren. He recognized it instantly and screamed.

"Mother and Child Heart-Eating Gu! What you gave me to eat was Mother and Child Heart-Eating Gu! Master, you are lucky, Master..."

Mother-and-child Heart-eating Gu? This name is quite appropriate, and more domineering than the temporary name he gave himself, 'Mother-and-child Corpse Worm'.

Mo Juren deceived him and said,

"Very good, since you recognize this thing. Do you know where this Gu came from?"

Master Jin Guang sighed and said,
"The mother and child Heart-Eating Gu, the child and the mother are connected by the same heart. If you swallow the child, you will become the mother's slave. Within ten feet, the master can control the child with the mother's Gu, and can swallow the heart and veins at any time, controlling the life and death of the little slave."

Then he looked disheartened and said solemnly,

"Every seven days, you need to take an antidote produced by the mother Gu, otherwise the child Gu will mature and explode inside the little slave's body, break out of the body, and kill the little slave."

Mo Juren heard Master Jin Guang's story and found that it was basically consistent with what he observed during his time raising Gu.

It seems that this insect poison that was accidentally obtained is of great origin, so he asked,
"Where did you know the function of this Gu?"

"Master, my real place of residence is the Jinguang Temple in the southern barbarian territory. These insect poisons are quite popular among the barbarians, so I happened to hear about this mother-child heart-eating poison and kept it in mind."

"Didn't you say you were from Qinye Mountain? This Qinye Mountain is also in the barbarian territory?"

"No. Actually... Actually, I escaped from Qinye Mountain. Qinye Mountain is far away in Zhongzhou, far away from the Jinguang Temple where I stayed."

Then Mo Juren took the opportunity to ask the question about the technique that he was most concerned about.
"So what kind of skills do you Qin Yeling mainly practice? How is your cultivation?"

"...Hehe, I haven't practiced Qin Yeling's inherited skills, that's the Ye family...Hehe, I've only practiced the 'Golden Light Illumination Skill', one of the Five Elements Basic Skills, since I was young. I'm now at the third level of Qi Refining, hehe."

Mo Juren's eyes lit up, and he tried again,

"Then how does your Golden Light and Treasure Illumination skill compare to the Eternal Spring skill?"

"Eternal Spring Kung Fu? The Eternal Spring Kung Fu is also one of the Five Elements' basic exercises. Hehe, they are naturally equally matched, equally matched."

Master Jin Guang said timidly, seeming a little embarrassed.

Mo Juren was overjoyed when he heard this. He decided to find an opportunity to ask Jin Guang to memorize this technique. Perhaps this would help him solve his urgent problem of not having a technique to practice.

But there is no rush for this matter, first find a safe place to stay, and then slowly plan. So Mo Juren smiled and said,

"Very good. I originally came here to get some information from you. Now that the situation has turned out like this, we can say that we have reached the same goal by different means. From now on, you stay by my side. As long as you work hard, I can remove this little poison for you at any time."

After all this commotion, outside the courtyard, due to the loud noise and smoke from the fight, many citizens who came to watch the fun had gathered and started to make a noise.

In order to avoid attracting a large number of city guards and causing trouble, Mo Juren ordered,
"Okay, I have some healing pills here. You should heal the wound on your leg first, pack up your things, and leave the city with me."

Master Jin Guang worked for a while, then dug out his big package from the dust, and before the city guards and constables arrived, he followed Mo Juren out of the city.

On the official road outside Jinsha City, the two men rode their horses all the way out.

With Master Jin Guang's short stature, walking was too slow, so Mo Juren asked Master Jin Guang and the luggage to ride on one horse, which did not affect the speed too much.

After walking for a while, Master Jin Guang asked,

"I don't know what the master's taboo is, please let me know."

After leaving Qixuanmen, Mo Juren didn't want to use Han Li's name anymore. Of course, he wouldn't tell him his real name, so he said half-truthfully,

"I am Zhang Tie, from Guanzhou. Since you are willing to respect me as your master, you can call me... Master Tie from now on. As for you, you should call me Jin Guang, which is easier to pronounce than your real name."

"Yes, I obey your command. I, your humble servant Jin Guang, will follow Master Tie's lead and will not dare to disobey."

Jin Guang was very good at judging the situation and knew the power of the mother and child heart-eating insects, otherwise he would have used the mother insect to control him and let him feel the pain of being bitten by the insect.

Mo Juren was very satisfied with Jin Guang's automatic and conscious attitude of submission.

After leaving the city, Mo Juren released the Cloud Winged Bird to check if there were any pursuers. After seeing that there was nothing unusual behind him, he called it back and threw a few yellow chestnut pills as a reward. The Cloud Winged Bird flew up and down and ate them one by one.

Jin Guang couldn't help but marvel at this and said,
"This spiritual bird of Master Tie is extremely magical, not inferior to some famous spiritual birds. No wonder Master Tie was able to follow me all the way from Jingzhou to Yunzhou."

Mo Juren himself didn't even know what species this cloud-winged bird was, so he took the opportunity to ask indirectly,

"What's the matter? Jin Guang, are you interested in spiritual beasts? What do you think of my spiritual bird?"

"No, no, in the world of immortal cultivation, the best places to raise spiritual beasts and birds are none other than Spiritual Beast Mountain and Yanling Fort. I have only heard of them."

Jin Guang was modest for a while, then continued,
"This spiritual bird of Master Tie should not be a common spiritual species. When this bird was following me, it flew very fast. It might be because it disliked my slow speed, so it flew back and forth over my head several times. However, because of its plain appearance, I thought it was just an ordinary bird passing by and did not think too much about it."

Mo Juren touched the bird's head and said in reproach,

"Little yellow-haired, you stupid bird, did you hear me? You are too direct in following me like this. You should learn to hide yourself, okay?"

The cloud-winged bird squeaked a few times, as if in protest, but I didn't know whether it understood or not.

Mo Juren was thinking about whether he should improve the formula of Huangli Pills and try adding some mutated spiritual herbs grown with porcelain pieces to see if it would make the cloud-winged bird smarter.

The two rode slowly along the official road. Mo Juren asked some more questions, and Jin Guangjun answered honestly, which made him very satisfied.
It turns out that the origin of Jin Guang also has a story...
