Chapter 344 The New Fire Seed
```
The white fog was too dense; it was impossible to see clearly what kind of changes Ouyang Yudu was undergoing within that thick mist.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The Cosmic Rainbow Light twisted and changed in the starry sky and was about to disappear in no time.
Ouyang Juemiao was both shocked and delighted, her gaze falling upon the young girl sitting dazed on the ground, as a murderous intent suddenly surged in her eyes.
Ouyang Juemiao's thoughts moved, and the sword in her hand instantly flew out, aiming to cut down the young girl.
In order to allow Ouyang Yudu to break through the Gift Theory, she had done things to the young girl that were too shameful to speak of.
Furthermore, since the young girl had witnessed everything today, she could not be allowed to live.
The young girl also possessed the talent to cultivate the Gift Theory; if one day, she broke through like Ouyang Yudu, she would become a severe threat to the Ouyang Family.
The flying sword, like a beam of light, was about to strike down on the young girl's head.
A streak of white light flew out from the mist, blocking the flying sword. The sword, hitting the white light, was as if caught by a magnet, struggling but unable to break free.
Ouyang Juemiao looked closely and realized that it was actually a folded white jade umbrella.
By now, the white fog was nearly dispersed, leaving only a thin, gauzy layer.
A white figure stepped out slowly from the mist, walking toward the young girl.
Ouyang Juemiao's flying sword, seemingly attracted by the strange white jade umbrella, was firmly stuck to it, unable to detach no matter how she commanded her Life Base Sword.
Ouyang Yuyang's complexion changed drastically because she could feel her Life Base rapidly weakening, as if it was being drained by the umbrella.
"Yudu... what are you doing..." Ouyang Juemiao said in shock and anger, and the next second, she spat out blood.
Her Life Base Sword, clinging to the strange weapon, had already turned into useless debris scattered on the ground.
The mist surrounding Ouyang Yudu completely vanished, and he walked up to the young girl, reached out to pick up the jade umbrella, opened it, and held it over the girl's head, blocking the sky above.
The girl stared blankly as the man with the jade umbrella approached her. The bizarre blood lotus-shaped pupils in the man's eyes had disappeared, but a small blood lotus mark had appeared on his forehead.
Seeing Ouyang Yudu stretch out his hand, the girl unconsciously did the same, placing her cold little hand in his and letting him pull her to her feet.
Ouyang Yudu held the umbrella with one hand and led the young girl with the other, turning to walk away.
"Yudu, she must not be allowed to live..." Ouyang Juemiao's words were not yet finished when she was interrupted.
"You are no longer fit to lead the Ouyang Family; spend the rest of your life here," came Ouyang Yudu's gentle yet irresistibly authoritative voice.

Lin Shen woke up and, as expected, found that the Base Mutation Egg had lost its mosaic, and information about a Fire Seed had emerged in his mind.
[Failed Super-Base Evolutionary Seed – Form Compensation: "Eat what you need; consuming food with similar shape can replenish the function of corresponding body organs when they are missing or damaged."]
"What kind of strange ability is this?" Lin Shen's expression was somewhat odd.
In his hometown, there was indeed a belief in the concept of form compensation; for instance, it was believed that eating pig's feet could help heal injuries to one's own feet.
His eldest sister wanted to sell melon eggs, which also played on this mentality.
"If form compensation really works, should I try eating a few melon eggs?" Lin Shen thought of something and felt a bit of excitement.

"But it seems like I don't need to replenish by shape," Lin Shen glanced outside the window, which was still shrouded in darkness.
Lin Shen took out the Nightglow Flower, using its glow to light up the night. He left his house, ran to the neighbor's door, and knocked, "Sister, open the door, it's me."
"Why are you here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?" Lin Miao opened the door, yawning as she spoke.
"Do you have any of those 'egg-melons'? Give me a few," Lin Shen got straight to the point.
Lin Miao looked Lin Shen up and down with a strange expression, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't. Instead, she went back into the house, came back with a tote bag filled with five or six 'egg-melons', and handed it to Lin Shen.
"Thanks, sis. You can close the door now," Lin Shen said as he took the tote bag.
Lin Miao closed the door halfway, but couldn't help herself and added, "Lin Shen, although it's normal for someone your age to have those needs, you must look after your health and not do it too frequently. Besides, that's not a healthy way. You should invest more effort in Tian Xun; if you manage to win her over, you will both satisfy your own needs and extend the Lin family line."
After finishing her statement, Lin Miao closed the door.
"It's not... I...," Lin Shen found himself at a loss for words. Seeing the closed door, all he could do was smile wryly and return to his room.
Back in his room, Lin Shen examined one of the 'egg-melons'. The object was about the size of a fist and indeed resembled a kidney.
"How should I use shape to replenish shape? Should I just eat this thing?" Even though Lin Shen's teeth could bite through steel, the 'egg-melon' was neither tasty nor likely to dissolve easily; eating it surely wouldn't be beneficial.
But then he thought it over and decided to give it a try—what if it actually worked? Read latest stories on m_v-l'e-NovelBin
With resolve, Lin Shen opened his mouth and took a small bite of the 'egg-melon', managing to gnaw off a tiny bit of the tough material.
"That's disgusting!" Fighting the urge to vomit, Lin Shen chewed the bit of the 'egg-melon', which felt like steel, and then forcefully swallowed it.
He waited for quite a while, but there was no reaction. He didn't feel any warmth in his kidneys, nor did he feel a response from any part of his body that was supposed to be soft.
"What kind of thing is this? This 'Fire Seed' is not working at all," Lin Shen felt depressed.
Having already taken a nibble, Lin Shen opened the 'egg-melon' to reveal a liquid inside, which he drank.
The 'egg-melon' was somewhat like a coconut, with a shell on the outside and liquid on the inside, but the shell of the 'egg-melon' was very thick and there was very little liquid compared to the juicy coconut.
"Oh, my... there it is... there it is..." To his surprise, Lin Shen really felt his old back warming up, and a certain soft part seemed to be perking up.
"Ow, this 'Fire Seed' power is impressive..." Lin Shen felt his spirits lift tremendously, as if he had boundless energy.
"Let's try a few more..." Before long, Lin Shen cracked open several 'egg-melons' and drank the liquid from all of them.
The next morning at breakfast, Lin Shen was nowhere to be seen.
Tian Xin immediately sent the butler to call Lin Shen, but the butler came back saying Lin Shen wanted to sleep a while longer and told them to eat without him.
"He has no sense of propriety at all; doesn't he know we're supposed to go to Chessboard Island today?" Tian Xin stood up and went to call Lin Shen herself.
When she arrived at Lin Shen's door, she knocked persistently. Regardless of what Lin Shen said inside, she wouldn't leave without opening the door.
After a while, Lin Shen couldn't take it anymore and finally opened the door.
"Didn't I tell you? You guys go ahead and eat; I want to sleep a bit more," Lin Shen said, coming out wrapped in his blanket.
"Sleep? We're leaving right after breakfast. I've never seen you this lazy. Wasn't the night long enough for you?" Tian Xin was getting increasingly annoyed with Lin Shen, so she reached out to grab the blanket he was wrapped in.
