Chen Ming fed the little earth snake some pure earth-element True Essence. It conveyed a sense of fullness and satisfaction, then slowly returned to the scabbard of the "Taiyue Sword," coiling there and beginning to sleep.
It seems that this little creature is in the developmental stage. It eats and then sleeps, and when it sleeps, it does so for an entire day, waking only to seek food once more.
It is also quite picky, does not eat grains or meat, only the Primordial Qi of the earth element. Now, apart from the "Taiyue Sword" providing some earth Qi, only he can sustain it.
If this little earth snake did not follow him and remained in that cave, it would likely starve to death.
This little snake can evade the Divine Sense of a martial artist, and its speed is incredibly fast. Keeping it by his side might come in handy someday.
