In truth, I did not intend to win the competition through this method; rather, I wanted to confirm something.
Ever since my rebirth, I have felt that something was off.
You see, I was the most skilled Gu Master in the Village.
Yet every time I competed against Da Shiran, I always lost to her.
Not only that, but she also stole all my Gu Worms.
At first, I thought it was a problem with my technique, but after so many failures,
I realized that things were not as they seemed.
Each time I raised Gu Worms, they encountered various issues during use.
Thus, I suspected that someone was sabotaging me from behind.
That person was likely Cui Kun.
After all, he was the village chief and had the most to gain from Da Shiran becoming the Saintess.
Therefore, I concluded that he had cast an illusion on the items he provided me.
Since I had been wearing a veil all this time, he could only poison me slowly.
Fortunately, after my rebirth, I became particularly cautious about everything in my home.
So now he had no opportunity to poison me.
What I needed to do now was to expose the truth.
Looking at the arrogant Da Shiran before me, I smiled faintly.
"Don't worry; I've recently raised a new Little Green Snake."
"It's much stronger than the previous one. Even if it dies, I won't feel heartbroken."
With that, I pulled out a fist-sized jar from my pocket.
I opened the lid and poured out the Gu Worm inside.
It was a completely black Little Green Snake.
It flicked its scarlet tongue, its eyes gleaming with a fierce light.
Upon seeing the Gu Worm, the villagers gasped in awe.
"Wow! That's a Five-Step Snake!"
"Yeah, this type of Gu Worm is incredibly powerful; even a fully grown man could be poisoned by it."
"No wonder Da Xin is so confident; it turns out she had a trick up her sleeve."
As everyone discussed, Da Shiran took out an identical container.
She opened the lid and poured out the Gu Worm inside.
To everyone's surprise, the Gu Worm she released was also a Five-Step Snake.
However, it was even larger than mine.
At this sight, my pupils constricted.
Indeed!
Cui Kun had truly cast an illusion over my possession!
Otherwise, Da Shiran wouldn't have been able to produce an identical Gu Worm!
It's important to note that cultivating a Five-Step Snake is extremely difficult.
Even if one manages to raise it, taming it is another challenge altogether.
I had invested a significant amount of time and effort to tame mine.
But I never expected that Cui Kun had secretly helped Da Shiran cultivate a Five-Step Snake that was even bigger than mine!
This left me utterly shocked.
"It seems this Saintess Selection Competition is going to be tougher than I imagined."
"Wow!"
"Da Xin actually refined the Gu with her own body!"
"No wonder she's so formidable; it turns out she paid such a heavy price."
"It seems that this time, the Saintess Selection Competition is a sure win for Da Xin."
"Ah, had I known this earlier, I should have tried to curry favor with her sooner."
Hearing their words, Da Shiran was both shocked and furious.
She shook her head repeatedly, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"No! This is impossible! How could you have turned into this?"
"What on earth have you gone through to become this... this abomination?"
At her words, I slowly parted my lips.
Suddenly, two sharp fangs emerged from my mouth.
They were serpentine fangs.
Seeing this scene, everyone present was stunned.
They all stepped back, their faces filled with terror.
Especially Da Shiran.
She was so frightened that she kept retreating, her eyes brimming with fear.
