Then Brother Fa waved his hand toward the venom pool, and the white orb, about one meter in diameter, floated up before flying into Brother Fa's hand.
Brother Fa recited a spell, and the orb began to shrink until it was about three centimeters in diameter.
Brother Fa said, "Ma Lin, do you want to swallow this orb? Powerful snake demons often have such orbs in their stomachs, which grow stronger as the demons do. The lower half of this snake demon turned into bones, and its own orb stopped growing, which is why it's so angry."
Ma Lin replied, "I'm not interested at all. Do you want to swallow it?"
Brother Fa said, "It's of no use to me. Better to let some wild beast swallow it."
Ma Lin said, "How about my tiger, called Big Orange? Do you think it's fitting for it to swallow this orb?"
