Compared with Bai Li and the monkey, Jiang Lan’s situation was even more special.
Although her father was a human, her mother’s blood was too strong, and she herself was a true pure-blooded god.
Before that, Bai Qiuran had never tested whether the gods who had lost their own power could practice the techniques of human beings.
“Don’t worry, there shouldn’t be much problem.”
Bai Qiuran comforted Jiang Lan:
“The poisonous technique I taught you before, didn’t you successfully practice it to the last step? It was only because of the conflict between the divine power and the cultivation method that it failed in the end. Now, you have no divine power, there should be no problem… you look the same as we humans, don’t you?”
“You think too much, I’m still slightly different from humans physically.”
Jiang Lan smiled upon hearing the words:
“In this world, the only gods with the same body structure as human beings are the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.”
In fact, I am afraid there is another one.
Bai Qiuran thought of the first Heaven Jealousy who died in the huge pit of Penglai mountain. It was not difficult to see from his last words that Heaven must have made some decision at the beginning, and then temporarily repented, and joined forces with Eastern Emperor Taiyi to trap him.
There was still a secret in it, but it was estimated that apart from the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, there was only Heaven who knew the existence of this secret.
“Then, what is the specific difference between your body and the human race?”
Bai Qiuran asked subconsciously, and then added:
“If it is unspeakable, then there is no need to say.”
Although they have been married for several years, the relationship between Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan was full of respect.
Of course, this was a commendation in Bai Qiuran’s time, which shows that the husband and wife love and respect each other, but in this era, it was basically a cold relationship.
And because they were married in name only, Bai Qiuran had never seen what Jiang Lan’s body looked like underneath her clothes, but at least her exposed parts were no different from human beings.
“Haha.”
Seeing Bai Qiuran’s reaction, Jiang Lan couldn’t help but smile, she said:
“It’s not something inconvenient to say. I have some bird feathers on my back, which is very similar to the little bird my mother changed into.”
“That’s it.”
Bai Qiuran thought in his heart that when conveying his Qi to heal Jiang Lan, he had also used his Soul Awareness to scan her body. According to the results of his scan, although the situation of the Purple Palace was not clear, at least there was no difference between her meridian and human’s one.
Having meridians indicated that no matter what, Jiang Lan could cultivate till the Qi Refining Stage.
Having Qi, she could at least strengthen her body and improve her current situation. She would no longer be so weak that she could only lie in bed.
The exercise Bai Qiuran created for Jiang Lan was naturally a water-attribute poisonous exercise. It was born out of a wood-attribute poisonous exercise he once practiced. In his early years, in search of the method to breakthrough, he accidentally obtained it from a ruin, and he later filled it up by himself.
As the former Goddess of Plague and Poison and the Goddess of the Sea, Jiang Lan had a unique ability and talent for manipulating toxins and water bodies. Moreover, Poison Art could not only be used to poison people to death, but also be used to cure diseases. This was also in line with Jiang Lan’s other godhood.
Under Bai Qiuran’s guidance, Jiang Lan quickly entered a state. Although her source of divine power was deprived, there were still a lot of toxins left behind when she manipulated poisonous insects in her body. Under the stimulation of these toxins, a trace of Qi was developed in the body, and it runs through the meridians in the body according to a certain trajectory.
Jiang Lan’s situation could be regarded as directly entering the late stage of the Body Forging stage. She was originally a celestial god, thus it was understandable that she proceeded quickly. As the exercises went on, her body surface slowly began to discharge toxins, and the room was quickly filled with a slightly sweet but full of poisonous fragrance.
Bai Qiuran hurried out to let the maids stay away, then opened the windows for ventilation and dissipated the poisonous gas.
He himself was not afraid of poisonous gas, so he stayed in the house to pay attention to Jiang Lan’s situation. Soon, as the poisonous gas escaped, countless poisonous insects crawled out of the woods following the smell and entered the cabin, besieged Jiang Lan.
Bai Qiuran originally wanted to kill these poisonous insects. Jiang Lan was now quite weak. If they bite her casually, they might kill her.
But he later discovered that these poisonous insects were just surrounding Jiang Lan and did not move, and the one headed was the black snake that Jiang Lan used to entangle with.
Jiang Lan used to carry these insects with her before marriage, but after marriage, considering the influence and image, she kept most of the insects in her old home.
However, there was still a certain connection between her and them, and she could usually rely on this connection to manipulate them, but after Jiang Lan’s divine power was taken away, the connection between these poisonous insects and her weakened. It was estimated that they ran out by themselves and wandered in the mountains and wilds. Mabe because of Jiang Lan’s exercise of poison catalyzed this connection, allowing these poisonous insects to find her location.
They didn’t mean to attack Jiang Lan but instead contributed their own toxins for Jiang Lan to absorb and practice.
Seeing this, Bai Qiuran stopped and let these poisonous insects stay here.
The toxins of these poisonous insects were highly poisonous, but their quantity was not necessarily large, and Bai Qiuran’s exercises could make Jiang Lan take these poisonous poisons for her own use. Soon, the poisonous insects began to die because their toxins were all absorbed.
When Jiang Lan faintly opened her eyes, the poisonous insects around her were almost dead and wounded, and only the black snake and a very small black centipede were left.
It was estimated that the black snake survived because of its largest size and the most venomous, while the little centipede was mostly because it was too weak.
When Jiang Lan saw the situation around her, she soon understood the situation.
“They voluntarily sacrificed their lives for me?”
“Well, it’s like this. Insects have little intelligence, and because of the connection between you and them, you are regarded as their queen.”
Bai Qiuran explained to her, and said with relief:
“Don’t worry, they all have no feelings and fears.”
“I know, I no longer have the ability to control them. Rather than let them go out to harm others, the result is good.”
Jiang Lan sighed and stretched out her hand to the black snake on the ground, while the black snake climbed up her hand and wrapped itself around her shoulder.
“This centipede is the least toxic among the poisonous insects I keep. It can basically only make people paralyzed and it is not lethal.”
She took the black centipede out again and put it in her hand. Because of the long-term supply of poison gas, even if this little centipede had not died yet, it was already on the brink of death.
Jiang Lan thought for a while, then put the centipede on the window, and sent a little bit of toxic Qi she just developed to it. Then, she spoke with a word that she learned from Bai Qiuran over the years:
“I won’t kill you. Whether you survive or not depends on fate.”
The centipede’s two tentacles shook, and it recovered a little bit of strength. Then, it moved a hundred feet, crawled out of the window, and disappeared.
