Chapter 270: Chapter 270: Ancestor of a Hundred Qi_1
Princess Huahua’s words, Qin Feng wasn’t very convinced of. So, he questioned, "Are you really doing this for my good?"
"Of course, Hua, I am your guide on the path of cultivation."
At this moment, the white-haired mice had already swarmed in groups towards us.
For the sake of Xue Xiaochan’s safety, Qin Feng hurriedly released his Xuanhuang Qi, creating a Golden Bell Shield that enveloped both of them within.
The white-haired mice climbed onto the Golden Bell Shield; their masses were so dense and their small mouths, armed with sharp teeth, began to savagely gnaw at the Golden Bell Shield.
Initially, Qin Feng believed that these white-haired mice were helpless against his Golden Bell Shield.
However, after the white-haired mice had taken a few bites, he was shocked to discover that the Xuanhuang Qi forming the Golden Bell Shield was actually being eaten away by them.
Having eaten the Xuanhuang Qi, not only did the size of the white-haired mice increase, but their teeth became even sharper as well, and the amount of Xuanhuang Qi they consumed grew even more.
This vicious cycle, if allowed to continue, was greatly detrimental to Qin Feng!
His Golden Bell Shield, it wouldn’t last long at this rate!
At this point, Princess Huahua spoke up.
"Eldest son, are you feeling panicked now, with no solution at hand?"
"Don’t take advantage of me," Qin Feng shot back at the cheeky bird.
"Although you’re a naughty eldest son, your mother won’t hold it against you, but I will still teach you a technique. Your Golden Bell Shield may look impressive, but it’s actually not all that effective.
Even a turtle hiding in its shell has at least one mouth that it can use to strike out and attack!
Your Golden Bell Shield is immobile; it cannot move or counterattack, only stand there passively taking hits."
Having said that, Princess Huahua mumbled a segment of an ancient scripture.
This scripture was from the Xuanhuang Medical Classic, which Qin Feng could recite but had not truly comprehended.
"You should be familiar with this scripture, right?" Princess Huahua asked.
Qin Feng looked at Princess Huahua with a face full of shock and asked in disbelief, "You know the Xuanhuang Medical Classic too?"
"The Xuanhuang Medical Classic that Qin XiaoBai has was imparted to him by me."
"Who is Qin XiaoBai?"
"That’s your ancestor, the old immortal who passed down the Xuanhuang Medical Classic to you."
"The Xuanhuang Medical Classic was passed down to my ancestor by you, Hua. Now my ancestor has passed away, and you, Hua, are still alive. If anyone is to be called ’old undying,’ it should be you, Hua! You’re the true ’old undying.’"
"You insufferable brat, how dare you show such disrespect to your mother? Do you believe I could peck through your Golden Bell Shield with my beak and let those white-haired mice chew you to the bone?"
Princess Huahua flapped her wings and flew down, but she didn’t peck through the Golden Bell Shield. Instead, she flew right into it and landed on Qin Feng’s shoulder.
"That’ll teach you to disobey!"
"That’ll teach you, you disrespectful son!"
Princess Huahua cursed while pecking at Qin Feng’s ear with her beak.
"Ah! Aaah!"
Qin Feng, pecked at the ear, cradled his head in his hands and screamed in agony, all the while begging for mercy.
"I was wrong, Hua, please stop pecking."
"If you dare to backtalk your mother again, I’ll peck your ears into wasp nests."
Standing on Qin Feng’s shoulder, Princess Huahua said, "I’ll explain the scripture I just recited only once. If you fail to learn it, I’ll peck your ears to shreds; do you hear me?"
"I hear you," Qin Feng replied quickly.
Princess Huahua brought her beak close to Qin Feng’s ear and began to chirp and chatter.
After listening to Princess Huahua’s account, Qin Feng suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
He had racked his brains over that passage of scripture before but couldn’t make heads or tails of it.
Now, everything suddenly became clear.
"Thank you, Hua," he said.
After expressing his gratitude, Princess Huahua flew back to the rafters.
Having contemplated the passage, Qin Feng was overjoyed.
According to Princess Huahua’s explanation, if he could skillfully utilize that passage, the Golden Bell Shield could become his golden body, just like his own flesh and blood, freely controllable.
Even more so, after cultivating to become the Immortal Doctor, the golden body could transform in myriad ways, become hundreds of beasts, transform into hundreds of birds, and conjure hundreds of insects.
Seeing that he was besieged by a group of white mice, Qin Feng tried to use the newly comprehended scripture to transform his golden body into a large cat.
After mumbling and struggling for a long time, Qin Feng successfully turned himself into a bizarre creature with a cat’s head and a dog’s body.
Xue Xiaochan slapped Qin Feng on the bottom with no good humor, the smack resounding on his rear.
"You inept dog creature, you meant to become a big cat to catch the mice, didn’t you? What on earth did you turn into? A cat’s head on a dog’s body, and with dog paws to boot. Let’s see you catch the mice now."
"Meow..."
Qin Feng cried out directly.
A proper mouse, upon hearing the meow of a cat, would immediately scurry away.
However, these white mice did not show the slightest fear upon hearing the cat’s cry; instead, they became even more excited.
Squeaking, they started to pounce this way.
Qin Feng’s golden body was now that of a large cat but still a freely moving large cat.
He opened his mouth and took huge bites, shredding the white mice to bits. The Xuanhuang Qi that the white mice had stealthily consumed all came back, this time charged with Spiritual Energy.
These white mice had grown up in the Spirit Realm, naturally carrying Spiritual Energy within them.
Seeing that the majority of the white mice had been killed, the White-Haired Rat Demon immediately scurried away. The remaining mice, those not yet bitten to death, also ran off.
Qin Feng ended his effort, drawing all the Xuanhuang Qi back into his Dantian.
Once he took it back, he felt something was off.
The Xuanhuang Qi inside him was no longer staying obediently in his Dantian but was rampaging through his body, almost completely out of his control.
Just then, Princess Huahua flew down from the rafters and landed on Qin Feng’s shoulder.
"Are you unable to control your Xuanhuang Qi?" it asked.
"Why is this happening?"
"Xuanhuang Qi is the ancestor of all energies, capable of accommodating the breath of the Immortal Realm, Spirit Realm, and Mortal Realm. It is like the vast ocean that embraces hundreds of rivers.
You are entering the Spirit Realm for the first time, and you aren’t familiar enough with the Spiritual Energy here, so naturally, you can’t control it.
The Spiritual Energy within those white mice that you just absorbed with your Xuanhuang Qi will soon counterattack, causing the Xuanhuang Qi to backfire on you.
That White-Haired Rat Demon, it uses Spiritual Energy to control these white mice. Once your Xuanhuang Qi is backfired by the mice’s Spiritual Energy, you will fall under the Rat Demon’s control."
No sooner had Princess Huahua finished speaking than a series of squeaks began echoing in Qin Feng’s mind.
It was the White-Haired Rat Demon, chirping and summoning Qin Feng, trying to take control of him directly.
