"If they give it to you, just take it. They're all worthless trinkets," Chu Kuangsheng replied indifferently.
Mingxi lowered her head.
She glanced at the items she was holding in her arms.
An energy crystal as big as a child's head.
An A-rank spatial item.
A high-level ice-attribute Skill Stone.
A high-level fire-attribute Skill Stone.
An SSVIP card for the Flag-Opening Item Specialty Store, which has branches across the entire Alliance and shakes the entire universe...
Worthless trinkets?
At this moment, poverty once again enveloped her.
She, the hundred-billion-star-coin beauty, was still too young after all.
However, since Chu Kuangsheng said so, she shamelessly accepted them.
To be honest, she really needed these things, especially the Skill Stones.
Lan Yue was indeed a blessed child.
Of course, she had something even more important to consult Instructor Chu about.
"Instructor Chu, do you know about Rejuvenation Symbiosis?"
Upon hearing Mingxi's question, both people in the conference room were startled.
Chu Kuangsheng frowned at her: "Why would you ask that question?"
Mingxi sighed.
"Because I've been Rejuvenation Symbiosised," she said with a definite yet helpless tone.
Just now, she had learned about the Rejuvenation Symbiosis skill from Guangguang.
She finally understood what was going on with her recent abnormalities.
She had been parasitized by an unknown Transcendent creature.
The special scent Lan Yue smelled came from that Transcendent creature.
It was also it that warned her to avoid the Blade Ghost Mantis just now!
Actually, she had already sensed its presence these past few days.
Although it was hidden very deeply, whenever they entered the Yin Mist Zone, it would inevitably produce a feeling of hunger and thirst.
This, in turn, affected Mingxi herself, making her feel uncontrollably hungry as well.
Mingxi wasn't stupid.
Connecting it with the scent Lan Yue smelled on her, how could she not realize the problem?
That cry, which only she heard just now, completely confirmed her guess.
"What? You've been Rejuvenation Symbiosised?"
Upon hearing Mingxi's answer, Chu Kuangsheng and Shen Linhua were both shocked.
They had, of course, heard of Rejuvenation Symbiosis.
It's a life-saving skill of Plant-type Transcendent creatures above King rank, where they sacrifice all their lifelong strength to regress to a basic level, achieving integrated symbiosis with a host (limited to humans), and then regrowing by leveraging the host.
However, the success rate of Rejuvenation Symbiosis is very low, and once it begins, it cannot be interrupted.
It's either complete death or new life.
A Transcendent creature undergoing Rejuvenation Symbiosis can only detach from the host after evolving to an intermediate level.
Moreover, this process usually takes a very long time, with the specific duration determined by the age of the Transcendent creature before Rejuvenation Symbiosis.
In short, however old it was before Rejuvenation Symbiosis, it must remain in the host for that many years.
If the host dies before that, the Transcendent creature undergoing symbiosis will also die.
Overall, unless absolutely forced or in special circumstances, a proper Transcendent creature would never use Rejuvenation Symbiosis. free𝑤ebnovel.com
However, for the host being symbiosised, there are only benefits and no drawbacks.
"There's such a good thing?"
Shen Linhua showed an envious expression.
Mingxi: "..."
She already knew that a human body, after being Rejuvenation Symbiosised, could not only prolong life but also effectively nourish one's physique and spiritual power.
It was a rare 'resource' many big shots, with one foot in the grave, dreamed of.
The Prosperous Luck Auction House once auctioned a King-rank Heavenly Star Nightshade's Rejuvenation Symbiosis, with a final transaction price of 15.2 billion star coins.
That was more than half of her total assets. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
It meant she had simply picked up 15.2 billion star coins for nothing.
She loved money, but she always acquired it through proper means.
This divine food, she couldn't swallow it.
Just thinking about an unknown Transcendent creature parasitizing her body.
You don't even know where it came from or where it's going.
You can't guarantee whether it has good intentions or malicious ones towards you, or if any unforeseen changes will occur in the future... You don't know any of this.
And it might stay for ten, twenty years, or even longer.
This kind of ultra-long standby, could you feel at ease?
Anyway, Mingxi couldn't.
Besides, she had too many secrets.
Even if Guangguang guaranteed that the Transcendent creature would have all its senses blocked when they entered the Time Realm.
She still couldn't feel at ease.
What if she accidentally exposed something while communicating with Golden Yuanbao and the others?
What if the blocking effect failed one day?
Anything was possible.
"Instructor Chu, do you have a way to remove the Rejuvenation Symbiosis from me?"
Although Guangguang said it was unsolvable, once Rejuvenation Symbiosis was successful, one could only wait for the Transcendent creature to successfully evolve to an intermediate level before it could detach from the host.
Otherwise, it would have surely told her about her being Rejuvenation Symbiosised much earlier.
Yes.
Before Mingxi herself noticed, this 'loyal' intelligent butler of the Time Realm already knew about it.
Don't forget.
It could observe the ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) situation outside the Time Realm at any time.
It naturally saw what happened when Mingxi was Rejuvenation Symbiosised.
It's just that this AI, with its exceptionally good analytical ability, thought that knowing about it would do Mingxi more harm than good, and there was a 99% chance it would affect her state and mood.
And it determined that the event itself was 100% beneficial to Mingxi.
So it very 'wisely' chose to conceal it.
Just now, when Mingxi learned the truth, she almost vomited three liters of blood like Du Chuan Chang!
Damn, isn't this digging a pit to bury your ancestors alive, making your father cry with filial piety?
Mingxi felt like she was that living ancestor who was 'filially killed'.
If Guangguang wasn't just a data stream existing in nothingness.
She would have pulled the network cable, smashed the computer, and blown up this place!
In short, that good-for-nothing Guangguang couldn't be trusted.
But she felt she could still save herself.
Meeting the girl's hopeful and eager gaze, Chu Kuangsheng pursed his lips, then chuckled softly: "Rejuvenation Symbiosis is indeed unsolvable."
Mingxi's shoulders slumped instantly, her small face as if she had lost her parents.
An expression of despondency as if both her parents had died.
"However—"
Mingxi suddenly straightened her back again, her large eyes as bright as the first ray of sunlight after a heavy rain.
Two streams Clip Mirror, twin bridges form a rainbow.
One word.
Beautiful!
"However what?"
Chu Kuangsheng chuckled inwardly, thinking, she's still just a child.
He didn't keep the Xiao Guniang in suspense: "There is a way to make the Transcendent creature in your body evolve to an intermediate level earlier."
Mingxi's eyes brightened even more.
Although it wasn't a direct Release, being able to end this 'heaven-sent good fortune' early was also good.
She really didn't need to prolong her life, really!
"There's an energy fruit called jin yang fruit. So far, no other uses for it have been discovered.
But experiments have shown that it can effectively shorten the time a Rejuvenation Symbiosised Transcendent creature spends in the host. One fruit can shorten it by about a year."
Mingxi quickly asked: "Where can I buy this jin yang fruit?"
Although she didn't know how old the Transcendent creature symbiotic with her was 'before', it didn't matter if she didn't know. At worst, she would just consume a few more fruits.
