Chapter 111 - Artifact
Thus, it could only remain inside a secretive place in the Tianyun Academy where each generation of the Principal is responsible for protecting the artifact.
Yu Xiuying was going to be the new successor of the job if Song Yanmei decided to resign her position.
Therefore, she couldn\'t believe Lee Tao\'s condition would be asking for the very item that she would need to protect.
"Impossible, even if you are Madam Liu\'s son, the artifact will not be given to you." Yu Xiuying said with a resolute expression.
Lee Tao shrugged his shoulders.
"Whatever then, it simply means I get to keep the Phantom Worms for myself and you get to keep that artifact for yourself." Lee Tao sneered coldly.
\'Either way, that artifact would sooner or later land in my hands. Nothing can ever escape from me if I want something.\' Lee Tao exclaimed inwardly as he prepared to leave.
Just when he was about to leave, Yu Xiuying shouted, "Why do you want the artifact?"
In her mind, the artifact was just an item that each new principal of the Tianyun Academy must protect.
However, the actual usage was unknown for a long time and even today, no one knew much about the artifact.
\'Unless… Lee Tao knows what it does,\' Yu Xiuying thought.
She then recalled how Lee Tao effortlessly detected the problem with Yao Meixiang and the others.
It was a completely unknown illness for them that they were helpless and unable to cure. Yet Lee Tao could easily cure them with just a bit of his manipulation of profound qi.
"You know something about the artifact, right?" Yu Xiuying asked.
"You are asking way too many questions, Instructor Yu Xiuying. There are some things in life that one should keep in the dark."
"Hmph, just how many secrets are you holding? I doubt Madam Liu also knew about the Phantom Worm species, let alone the artifact we\'re safekeeping on."
Lee Tao shrugged his shoulders.
He had already been generous enough to educate her a little bit. And anymore would be excessive and bothersome.
\'Xiao Chu, activate the mist. I\'m done chatting with her.\' Lee Tao sent a mental transmission to Xiao Chu as he waved goodbye.
Upon hearing his command, Xiao Chu surrounded the entire area with a black mist.
"Not good…" Yu Xiuying muttered as she tried to rush in to stop him from escaping.
Alas, it was a futile effort.
The black mist quickly shrouded the area and by the time she regained her vision, Lee Tao had long disappeared.
"Damn it, Lee Tao." Yu Xiuying cursed aloud as she stomped on the ground.
"Not only did you take advantage of me, but you also played me for a fool. Vengeance shall be mine and you will pay for this." She added.
Sometime later, Lee Tao arrived back at the Liu Clan.
Panting heavily, Lee Tao clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"Ugh, this is so fucking stupid. Why can\'t a powerful cultivator just come and invade the Tianyun Kingdom? That way, I can just harness the shit out of their profound qi and breakthrough." Lee Tao complained.
"Sucks to sucks, you are merely in a tiny kingdom. Thus, you might as well just continue to bang your mother and harness her Yin Energy." Xiao Chu shrugged her shoulders from the side.
"You think I don\'t want to? She can\'t even endure one-fourth of my pounding before she becomes exhausted."
"Then why not just lower your hip movement and do it slowly?"
"Then why don\'t you walk in the ground instead of floating in the air?"
Xiao Chu clicked her tongue.
"Impossible, Xiao Chu does not know how to walk, only floating." She said calmly in her defense.
Lee Tao snickered coldly.
"Same logic applies to me as well. I don\'t fuck half-heartedly and I\'m already being lenient by not using my full strength. Otherwise, I can guarantee Liu Ying\'s pussy will become a magnificent fountain that will never stop squirting."
"What a showoff… I\'m leaving." Xiao Chu sneered as she went back to the necklace.
"Hmph, whenever you fail to argue with me, you always hide in your damn necklace." Lee Tao cursed aloud as he retrieved a jade bottle.
The jade bottle contained the newborn Phantom Worm as it tried to break the jade bottle open.
"Do you want to come out?" Lee Tao asked cheekily.
The jade bottle began trembling rapidly, most likely the Phantom Worm was answering Lee Tao\'s question.
"If you want to come out, then you must make a blood contract with me." Lee Tao said.
And he continued, "If you don\'t make the blood contract, then you can wait here till your death. After all, a Phantom Worm is pretty valuable when it comes to alchemy."
The jade bottle began trembling even more as Lee Tao coated the jade bottle with his profound qi.
Afterward, he opened the cap of the jade bottle and released the newborn Phantom Worm.
The Phantom Worm appeared, but it was smart enough to not try anything such as escaping.
"Hehe, you are clever indeed, Phantom Worm." Lee Tao smiled as he drew a quick formation circle on the table.
"You should know what to do, right?"
The Phantom Worm swirled around for a bit as it gave a quick nod.
It used its tongue to bite his annuli body slightly as blood began seeping out from it.
The blood dripped on the formation circle as a bright golden light emitted outward.
Sometime later, a symbol mark appeared in the Phantom Worm\'s body.
Lee Tao was jubilant to obtain a parasite pet easily.
"With this Phantom Worm as my parasite pet now, I can easily cripple an enemy stronger than me.." Lee Tao laughed heartily.
