47: Chapter 046 Marrow-Sucking Insect (Request for recommendation and collection)_1

Since Mu Qiongfang was receiving orthopedic treatment, her illness must have something to do with her skeleton.

With this suspicion in mind, Lv Zhong started to covertly inspect the inside of Mu Qiongfang’s body using his Spiritual Sense.

Strangely, in Lv Zhong’s spiritual perception, there were several fractures in Mu Qiongfang’s bones.

The sternum, leg bones, hand bones, even the hip bones astonishingly all revealed fractures.

Among them, Mu Qiongfang’s left hand was the most severe, seemingly a comminuted fracture!

This was utterly illogical!

According to the information Lv Zhong received from Yan Yan, her mother seemed to have fainted while harvesting vegetables, not during an accident or due to something heavy falling on her.

So logically, there should be no fractures in her bones.

What’s more, as Lv Zhong’s Spiritual Sense further plunged in, he was even more shocked.

He astonishingly discovered that Mu Qiongfang seemed to have severe osteoporosis.

Her entire body was like a glass person, as if her bones would shatter upon touch.

A woman in her forties, yet her bone density was even less than that of an eighty or ninety-year-old elder.

That’s completely illogical!

Mu Qiongfang was a true housewife of a farming family.

Most of the time, she worked in the family’s few acres of land.

A housewife who was able to manage several acres of farm wouldn’t be able to exacerbate her osteoporosis to such an astonishing level in such a short period.

Lv Zhong frowned, his face full of seriousness.

Given the amazing changes in such a short period, her body was most likely attacked by something foreign or underwent literal mutation!

Only these two scenarios could explain why her bone density become like this in such a short time.

It seemed like all kinds of metallic ions and nutrients in her bones had mysteriously disappeared!

Could it be that she has developed cancer inside her body?

Lv Zhong speculated in his heart, could it be multiple myeloma?

Because myeloma cells can invade bones, just like termites can rapidly hollow out wood, it too can hollow out bones, thereby causing patients to fracture easily.

Lv Zhong, without showing any change in his expression, quietly turned on the [Micro Yin-Yang Eye].

This [Micro Yin-Yang Eye] has three main functions, namely being a high-powered microscope, x-ray vision, and observing the life and death Yin and Yang qi.

With the activation of the [Micro Yin-Yang Eye], Lv Zhong was shocked again.

He was horrified to find that the balance of life and death qi in Mu Qiongfang’s body had been broken.

Now, only a quarter of her life qi remained, and three-quarters of her body was shrouded in death qi.

Even more shocking was that the death qi inside her body was rapidly devouring the life qi at a very high speed.

Seeing this, if Mu Qiongfang did not receive effective treatment in time, she would lose her life within three months.

However, what surprised Lv Zhong was that the metal elements in her body hadn’t been decomposed and excreted out of her body.

Under the miraculous abilities of the [Micro Yin-Yang Eye] to observe and perceive the Yin and Yang qi, Lv Zhong made an astonishing discovery: Mu Qiongfang’s life qi and a large number of nutrients disappeared mysteriously inside her bones!

Could it really be bone cancer?

Myeloma?

Lv Zhong increased the input of his Spiritual Sense, trying to maintain the [Micro Yin-Yang Eye], fully observing and inspecting Mu Qiongfang’s body, looking towards the places where the death qi was most concentrated.

With the [Micro Yin-Yang Eye], Lv Zhong could easily distinguish between life qi and death qi.

Observing along the flow of this life qi and death qi, he finally discovered an incredible scene!

Inside many of Mu Qiongfang’s bone marrow, there were blood-red bugs smaller than sesame seeds feeding off her bone marrow…

The number of these bugs wasn’t small, moreover, Lv Zhong found a mother bug about the size of a grain of rice hidden inside Mu Qiongfang’s sternum…

This…

This isn’t multiple myeloma!

It’s an invasion by a mysterious strange insect!

“Boom…”

Lv Zhong felt a heaviness in his mind, realizing his spiritual sense was being consumed excessively, he quickly shut off his [Micro Yin-Yang Eye].

Supporting himself on the sickbed, both concern and ecstasy were present in Lv Zhong’s eyes.

At this point, he recognized from Lv Yue’s memory what the insect inside Mu Qiongfang’s body was.

This thing is called [Marrow Sucking Worm], specialized in devouring the bone marrow of primates.

The stronger the organism it devours, the faster it evolves.

Once it evolves to a certain degree, it can mutate and evolve into [Three Corpse Brain God Worm], which can even devour the bone marrow, immortal body, or even the soul of a Daluo Golden Immortal, making it just as formidable as the legendary Mosquito Taoist.

However, this creature is extremely violent.

As long as it parasitizes a living organism, it absolutely won’t leave the host body until it has sucked the host dry of bone marrow.

Because of this nature, in the ancient times, any divine individual who found traces of this creature would thoroughly proceed to exterminate it, to the point of annihilating entire families or groups where it was found.

In Lv Yue’s memory, this creature seemed to have angered a few sages and was subsequently eliminated by them, so why would such a creature with endless potential still appear in modern society?

Lv Yue had long wanted to refine and possess a [Marrow Sucking Worm], however, he had never been able to find one of these magical worms!

Indeed, although this [Marrow Sucking Worm] is extremely violent, if tamed and properly used, it can be relied on to absorb the bone marrow of various strong creatures, to modify and strengthen one’s own bone marrow, thus achieving the goal of marrow refining!

No matter the cultivation technique, continual body modification is a must.

Refine skin, refine tendons, refine bones, refine marrow, refine blood, strengthen five viscera…

Only when all parts of the body are tempered and strengthened, can one truly walk the path of cultivation.

The [Plague God Pearl] houses ten types of strange insects left by Lv Yue, which can aid cultivators in better mastering the [Transfer Technique].

However, Lv Zhong can never have too many of such miraculous strange insects.

Now, encountering such a mysterious strange insect, Lv Zhong absolutely doesn’t want to let this little thing go.

With it, Lv Zhong believes his path to physical strengthening will be much quicker and more perfect!

Moreover, Lv Zhong found that the [Marrow Sucking Worm] parasitizing Mu Qiongfang – the mother insect, currently only possesses Level 2 strength.

To restrain this [Marrow Sucking Worm], he firmly believes he stands a chance.

If it evolves to Level 3, it would be extremely difficult for Lv Zhong to restrain it.

With this thought, Lv Zhong’s heart suddenly burned with eagerness.

He felt extremely lucky, or perhaps good people really do receive good karma!

To actually encounter a [Marrow Sucking Worm] with only Level 2 strength?

Since he found it, Lv Zhong certainly won’t let this [Marrow Sucking Worm] go.

If the heavens bestow it and he does not take it, it would be a crime against himself!

Furthermore, if he doesn’t subdue and refine this creature, it poses a latent threat to those around Mu Qiongfang.

Once the [Marrow Sucking Worm] has drained all of Mu Qiongfang’s marrow, it will immediately carry its offspring and move on.

The person most intimate with Mu Qiongfang is very likely to be its next target.

Yan Yan, who has been caring for Mu Qiongfang all this while, might very well be targeted by it!

Therefore, for his own sake, for Yan Yan, or even for society as a whole, Lv Zhong has a reason to subdue this [Marrow Sucking Worm].
