Mortal Mirror

Li Ergou reached out, not knowing why he wanted to do this, it was just a sudden, strange impulse.

So, without hesitation, he touched the gourd.

He suddenly felt that this gourd was emitting a sense of indescribable vicissitudes and sorrow, as if they were weeping, which was incredible.

At that moment, he felt a heat in his chest, it was the Seven Spirit Beads. He took out the seven beads, looked at them, and then looked at the gourd. He inexplicably felt that there was a strange connection between the beads and the gourd.

He brought the beads closer to the gourd, and the already dim beads suddenly became brighter. Then, they flew up, and to Li Ergou's astonishment, they turned into streams of light and flew into the gourd.

The few originally decayed and withered gourds began to emit faint rays of light. Li Ergou was extremely surprised, wondering if these seven spirit beads could revive dead things, which would be too miraculous.

Just as he was excited, the gourds began to explode with a series of 'bang' sounds. In the blink of an eye, all seven gourds had burst, and seven colorful light clusters appeared on the gourd vine.

Li Ergou didn't know if these were transformed from the seven spirit beads. He watched as the seven light clusters flew together, and in an instant, the seemingly dead gourd vine bloomed again, and then the flowers absorbed the seven light clusters.

Soon, another gourd formed. When this gourd first appeared, it was snow-white, but as it slowly grew, colors began to appear on it, one after another. All the colors mixed together, and in an instant, they formed a very beautiful pattern.

The pattern looked like mysterious runes, and also like indescribably beautiful pictures.

Before long, the gourd became a colorful gourd about a foot tall. As soon as it was born, it fell from the gourd vine with a 'pop'.

The gourd floated in mid-air, and then came to Li Ergou. At this moment, the most bizarre thing was that a soft, little girl's voice came from inside the gourd, saying, "Daddy, Daddy, take me away from here."

Li Ergou thought he had misheard. He muttered, "Could I be hallucinating? Did you guys hear anything?"

The Big Red Bird and the rabbit nodded. The rabbit pointed at the gourd and said, "I think I heard the gourd call you Daddy."

Li Ergou was dumbfounded. It seemed that this gourd had become a spirit. He cautiously asked, "Who are you? Don't play tricks on me.

Why are you calling me Daddy? I'm not your Daddy. Don't call me that."

"Daddy, you brought me back to life, you are my Daddy. But I'm so weak, Daddy, can you give me a drop of your essence blood? Otherwise, I will die before I'm even born."

Li Ergou was a little frantic. "Brought you back to life? What did I do to bring you back to life? Don't thank me for the beads, just consider it me doing a good deed."

"Daddy, save me, I'm so weak," the voice inside the gourd became even weaker.

Li Ergou wanted to refuse, but the weak voice was pitiful. Li Ergou hesitated, thinking that this was a demon. If he saved it, he didn't know if it would cause any trouble, and most importantly, this thing insisted on calling him Daddy.

What should he do? Just as he was anxious, the Big Red Bird couldn't help but say, "Boss, I feel sorry for the little thing inside the gourd. Why don't you do a good deed? It's even calling you Daddy."

Li Ergou wanted to scold it, but then he heard the voice inside the gourd become even weaker, saying, "Daddy, I have just been conceived. If I don't get the nourishment of blood energy, I will dissipate and die."

The voice was even more pitiful, making people feel a sense of pity.

The rabbit and the Big Red Bird felt the same way and looked at Li Ergou, saying, "Boss, why don't you do a good deed? Even if it's a demon, it must be a good demon. Besides, it's calling you Daddy."

Li Ergou was speechless by the two demons. It seemed like that was the case.

In fact, he really had a feeling of compassion. In the end, he forced a drop of essence blood from his finger and dripped it on the gourd.

The essence blood was instantly absorbed by the gourd, and everyone saw the gourd begin to emit a faint light, which then began to become dazzling.

When the light dissipated, an excited voice came from inside the gourd, "Daddy, that's great, thank you! My spirit has finally solidified. Now I need to rest well so I can be born. Your child can only enter your belly, don't mind哦."

Li Ergou was helpless. Perhaps because the gourd had absorbed a drop of his essence blood, he felt a blood connection with the gourd. Before he could agree, the gourd began to shrink. In the blink of an eye, it became the size of a thumb, and with a 'shua' sound, it passed through his belly and flew directly into his dantian.

It floated around the golden core, slowly rotating with it.

Li Ergou only felt his scalp tingle. This little gourd was too perverted. He really couldn't figure out how this thing could drill into his stomach through his skin.

If this little thing wanted to kill him, wouldn't it be very easy? Fortunately, this little thing didn't do that. For a moment, he couldn't help but feel scared and secretly told himself not to do such stupid things in the future.

He moved his divine sense and asked the little gourd, "How long are you going to stay in my belly?"

"Daddy, when Bao'er grows up, I can go out and see Daddy. Daddy, don't worry. Bao'er can also help Daddy absorb the five elements of power from the world, which can help Daddy cultivate well. Don't worry, with Bao'er here, I guarantee your cultivation will be faster."

Li Ergou then realized that his cheap daughter was called Bao'er.

He felt it again, and the five elements of spiritual energy really slowly entered his body. Although most of it was absorbed by the gourd, it still left him with a small part. Even this small part was equivalent to three days of cultivation for an ordinary cultivator.

Li Ergou didn't know if this counted as freeloading.

This made him feel a little better.

Looking outside the cave, the golden snake was constantly roaring and hitting the cave with its head. The cave made cracking sounds, and it looked like the cave would collapse in a few more hits.

So, Li Ergou immediately said, "We have to rush out, otherwise, we will be crushed to death here."

The rabbit said, "Boss, if you can't beat this guy, we should find another way, otherwise, going out is also death."

"Another way? What other way is there? Now we can only fight this big snake."

The Big Red Bird 'yi'ed and said, "That's not right, look under this spirit vine, there seems to be something strange."

Li Ergou and the rabbit came to the spirit vine. At this moment, they saw that after the spirit vine had completely withered, there were some gaps between the roots and the soil, and gusts of cool wind blew out of the soil.
