In Blessed Street, in a small shop that was simply decorated, Xue Yang was leaning on the counter and drinking the lotus seed porridge that the Lady Boss had specially made for him.

However, it was obvious that the porridge had just been cooked and steam was still rising from the surface of the bowl.

Only now did Song Yu realize what had happened. She hurriedly pulled away from Xue Yang's embrace, wanting to see how Xue Yang's injuries were faring. However, Xue Yang didn't seem to care in the slightest.

Hearing the Lady Boss's words, Xue Yang turned around to take a look. It was only then that he was shocked to discover that the jade in his bowl had turned red, as if blood was seeping into his bowl.

Xue Yang hurriedly took out a clip and took the jade stone that the Little rat had half-chewed on out of the bowl.

After looking at the jade for a long time, Xue Yang was a little confused. "Is this jade ours?"

The Lady Boss took a closer look and said, "Not good." Then, she quickly ran towards a cabinet in the corner.

Xue Yang recognized this box. When he was eating breakfast, Song Yu had given the box and the envelope to him, but the envelope was clearly more important than the box, so Xue Yang had only focused on looking at the envelope and completely ignored the box.

Now that he thought about it, Xue Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he asked: "Who sent this box over?"

Although it wasn't Song Yu's fault that this jade was bitten like that, Song Yu had an apologetic expression on his face as he said: "Sorry, Xue Yang, I didn't tell you in time that this jade was sent over by someone from the Deep Sea Group. I think it was called Xiao Zhu."

After hearing this name, Xue Yang already knew that it was Yang Yali who sent this name to him.

Xue Yang smiled and nodded. He only patted Song Yu's head to indicate that he was fine.

If it was a normal time where Xue Yang would do this action, it would definitely cause the Lady Boss to resent him, but now, as a consolation, he just smiled and did not say a word.

After that, Xue Yang brought the red jade stone to Xiao Hei Wai.

Even though this piece of jade was already in a rather sorry state, not only was half of it bitten off by the Little rat, it was even thrown into the boiling hot porridge.

However, this was still unable to cover up its blood-red glow.

When Xue Yang wiped off all the porridge on its body, this seductive luster became even brighter.

Before he sent it here, the piece of jade was white. It had been given to him as a defective specimen, but after staying in the store for two days, it had turned completely blood-red.

Was it only because of the catalysis of the bowl of porridge?

The confused Xue Yang walked out of the small dark room. The small dark room had already descended from the ceiling, and under Song Yu's comforting, it was obediently eating some small jades.

After seeing Xue Yang coming out, the Little rat immediately strung itself onto the ceiling, afraid that Xue Yang would kill it.

"Hurry up and come down. I have something that I need your help with. Help me settle it. Leave this matter to the bystanders." Xue Yang reached out a hand towards the ceiling, indicating the Little rat to come down.

But the Little rat was like a bat hanging upside down from the ceiling, it did not have any intentions of coming down.

Song Yu, who was standing at the side and watching, was a little taken aback. From the fact that this mouse was eating a piece of jade to the fact that its own expression changed and looked human, it already looked like a little monster.

No matter what happened with the Little rat s, Song Yu now felt that it was natural.

It was just that when he saw that the Little rat on the ceiling had no intention of coming down, Xue Yang felt quite helpless.

As expected, he still had to use his trump card.

Xue Yang took out the He Tian Yang Fat Jade that he had prepared a long time ago. In order to reflect its allure, Xue Yang even spent a bit of time carving this small top-grade jade into peanuts.

No matter how much the Little rat didn't eat the Five Grains, as a mouse, it still retained some of the characteristics of a mouse.

Looking at the peanut like piece of jade, the Little rat's mouth slightly opened, and without saying a word, it jumped down from the ceiling.

But just when it was about to eat the piece of jade, Xue Yang used another hand to grab it.

"Hehe, this kind of good stuff can't be given to you so easily. Once you help me settle my affairs, it will naturally be yours." After he finished speaking, Xue Yang brought the hissing Little rat into the small dark room.

Song Yu didn't know how a mouse could help Xue Yang, but she couldn't be bothered to care about it anymore. He just smiled to himself and started to move the ancient jade abacus again.

In the small black room, Xue Yang took out the jade bead that was emitting a mysterious aura and placed it on the table.

"Take me in." Xue Yang, who seemed very dissatisfied with drinking milk, ordered immediately.

Now that the Little rat was in Xue Yang's hands, there was no room for retaliation, so he could only unwillingly lick the bead.

Following a flash of light, Xue Yang felt his entire body going numb, and in the next second, he was in the familiar jade space.

Breathing in the air filled with the aura of history, Xue Yang directly arrived in front of the jade space's "worshiping cave".

This was the name Xue Yang himself had given to this small space. Every time something was of value, he would put it in and the worshiping cave would always give him something strange.

Xue Yang directly placed the piece of lamb fat jade in front of the little white mouse, while he talked to the Guardian a few times.

"This time around, I do not seem to have obtained any treasures, I still have not understood this dragon control technique, so I do not hope to learn anything new. I want to ask everyone here to help me see, what exactly is wrong with this jade, and why has there been such a huge change."

Although from the outside, it looked like a very small space, but after going through many things in the past, Xue Yang guessed that it must be something similar to a window.

And on the other side of the window, there must be another higher level of thought controlling all this.

So even towards a lifeless cave, Xue Yang showed a hundred percent respect.

After that, he placed the incomplete red jade in his hand into the small space. This time, Xue Yang didn't have to wait at all, and the moment the red jade disappeared into the space, a green speck of light appeared above the small space, similar to a gem or a water droplet.

Xue Yang gently touched the light dot, the light dot quickly dispersed, transforming into a flow of water that slowly entered Xue Yang's brain.

After all, this jade space had truly helped him in countless places. If there was some sort of thought in the space that wanted to harm him, then he would have long since lost his life.

After completely accepting this flow of clear water, Xue Yang suddenly had a sudden realization. It was as if he had gotten the answer to the questions that confused him.

An old man's voice answered his question.

"You can call me Elder Meng. This is only my thought process. After I resolve those questions for you, this thought process will disperse on its own."

Feeling the miraculous change in his mind, Xue Yang was stunned, but he did not forget to grab hold of this opportunity, and immediately asked: "It's that piece of jade, why did it turn red, what exactly is causing it?"

"stone-worm, this kind of thing only exists deep in the mountains. It corrodes stone materials to obtain the necessary energy to survive." Elder Meng's voice sounded again in Xue Yang's mind.

"There aren't any organic matter in the stones, how can there be insects that rely on eating the rocks to survive? This doesn't make sense."

As Xue Yang was thinking this in his mind, Elder Meng chuckled, "Plants can turn water and light into fruits, and humans can synthesize trace elements into a part of the body. Compared to that, absorbing some life energy from the stones should not be a big deal."

In order to understand Elder Meng's words, it took a bit of time. After a while, he asked again, "But even so, what does the stone-worm you're talking about have to do with this?"

However, someone intentionally planted a stone-worm inside it. After a period of time, the stone-worm would corrode the jade, so to the stone-worm, the jade can definitely be considered a big meal. "

"But, Elder Meng, if there really are bugs that want to do this, then those experts from the Deep Sea Corporation should have discovered it long ago."

"Haha, young man, those are not ordinary bugs. These ancient bugs with extremely simple structures are not much bigger than the virus particles on your bodies. You won't be able to see them if you don't zoom in a few thousand times."

Hearing these words, Xue Yang could not help but frown: "Then what's wrong with it turning red?"
