Henry Chu pushed open the door of Pinmingxuan and strode to the He family.
The beautiful woman was waiting, and He Zhao was standing beside her.
Seeing Henry Chu appear, the beautiful woman smiled and immediately stepped forward.
She handed over a larvae bag and said respectfully, "Senior, these are the three kinds of poisonous insects."
"If you need anything else, please feel free to contact Xiao Xiu directly."
"Xiao Xiu will definitely do his best to complete it!"
Chu Xuan smiled faintly, "These are just trivial matters, so I won't bother the He family cultivators anymore."
"Let's go." He looked at He Zhao beside him.
"yes."
Chu Xuan and He Zhao, one in front and one behind, walked out of the He family residence quickly.
The beautiful woman was speechless.
The He family cultivator next to him whispered, "Senior He, it seems he's not interested in women."
"Sister Ling is so beautiful, yet she can't impress him at all."
The beautiful woman also looked resentful, "He didn't even ask my name... Alas..."
The He family cultivator next to her thought she was going to give up.
The beautiful woman was determined, "No one can have too many Nascent Soul offerings!"
"This Senior He is a newcomer and has not yet joined any faction. We must pull him into our He family's camp."
The other side.
Chu Xuan and He Zhao have arrived at Jinxiufang on Nishang Island.
This is the largest market town on Nishang Island, managed by the He family.
Although poisonous insects are unorthodox, not all of them like to eat flesh and blood.
There are also many poisonous insects that eat rare and precious materials.
Therefore, poisonous insects also have a place in Jinxiufang.
Not long after, He Zhao led Chu Xuan to several Gu Masters.
The first eight types of poisonous insects were purchased smoothly.
Because those Gu Masters are all at the Golden Core stage.
He did not dare to bargain with a Nascent Soul cultivator like Chu Xuan.
After a while, Chu Xuan and He Zhao arrived at the last place.
This is a shop called "Xiao Chong Zhai".
Located in the central area of Jinxiufang.
This area has the best location and the highest price.
Compared with other shops around it, this Xiaochongzhai is particularly small, exquisite, elegant and simple.
Like a pearl embedded in the mud.
It is kept very clean.
And there was only fragrance, but no smell of poisonous insects at all.
Those who don't know might think that what is sold here are spiritual plants, not poisonous insects.
Behind the counter is a Nascent Soul stage Gu Master.
This Gu Master was dressed in gray and had a hunched body.
He is very old and frail.
His eyelids were droopy, his face was thin and covered with wrinkles.
Every gully seems to be filled with experience.
In the wooden box next to him was a palm-sized, golden insect.
This insect is the dragon-shaped insect.
It has two horns on its head and scales on its body.
Aside from the lack of claws and tail, it's not much different from a miniature dragon.
In Chu Xuan's conception, the dragon-shaped insect is precisely the core.
Only this kind of poisonous insect with a dragon shape but no dragon spirit, full of qi and blood, and thick skin and flesh, can carry the powerful organs of other poisonous insects.
The old Gu Master looked at Henry Chu, shook his head and sighed, "...I won't sell it for the time being. This is your deposit, I'll return it to you."
He took out three large spirit stones and handed them over.
This dragon-shaped insect was sold for six large spirit stones. Chu Xuan had already asked He Zhao to pay a deposit of three large spirit stones in advance.
Hearing the old Gu Master's words, Chu Xuan couldn't help but frown.
Everything was fine before, why did it suddenly change?
The old Gu Master seemed hesitant, and after a while he said, "If you really want it, it's fine, but you have to pay twenty large spirit stones."
Henry Chu frowned even deeper when he heard this.
The dragon worm just takes a long time to raise.
But it has no combat power at all.
The only function is that the insect shells can be used as medicine.
But this kind of insect only sheds its skin once every fifty years, which is extremely slow.
There are many other poisonous insect exuviae that can replace it.
Six large spirit stones are reasonable.
Twenty large spirit stones can already buy two top-grade magic weapons.
Although he did have some wealth, he wouldn't just throw it away.
Xiuxian asked, "What trivial things don't cost money? How can we waste them so easily?"
However, he saw that the old Gu Master seemed to be in trouble.
It doesn't seem like they are deliberately asking for a higher price.
He Zhao quickly pulled Henry Chu aside and whispered, "Senior, the last time I came to see him, he didn't offer this price..."
"I don't know why he raised the price as soon as you showed up."
He Zhao felt uneasy.
He was afraid that Chu Xuan would be angry with him because of this.
Henry Chu patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay, I don't blame you for this."
He Zhao suddenly felt much more at ease.
This guy is a long-term supporter, and he doesn't want to be left behind like this.
The old Gu Master sighed softly, "You should go find another Gu Master. The horse Gu Master over there has also raised a dragon-shaped insect for over a hundred years."
"If you need dragonworm exuviae for medicine, this should probably be enough."
Henry Chu smiled and said, "Old senior, why did you suddenly raise the price? Why don't you tell me?"
He could tell at a glance that the dragon-shaped insect in the old Gu Master's hand was at least three hundred years old.
The older the dragon-shaped insect is, the better.
A hundred-year-old dragon-shaped insect might not be able to withstand the powerful organs of other poisonous insects.
The old Gu Master was stunned when he heard Chu Xuan's words.
He sighed deeply, "Young man, at my age, there's no hope for me to achieve the great path of spiritual enlightenment."
"I have only two wishes in this life: one is to leave a good reputation after my death, and the other is that my descendants grow up safely."
He smiled bitterly, "I, Ning Tai, have been hanging around in this East Third Ring Road for most of my life. If I had no choice, I wouldn't want to ruin my reputation."
After hearing this, Chu Xuan roughly guessed why the old Gu Master suddenly raised the price.
Maybe something happened to the later generations.
Ning Tai sighed softly, "I don't have much of a family. I only have a few descendants in this life, less than the number of my fingers."
"But in this Shattered Star Sea, even a Nascent Soul cultivator like me cannot protect my descendants."
"Over the years, some have died, some have disappeared, and now only one descendant of the same generation is left."
"A few days ago, he violated the taboo of a senior who had reached the Divine Transformation stage in the Divine Sword Sect. Not only was he arrested, but the shop he ran was also closed down."
Ning Tai paused, then continued, "I heard that the senior who reached the God Transformation stage likes to collect unique poisonous insects. I've raised this dragon-shaped insect for over three hundred years, and he might like it, so I'm planning to give it to him."
"Of course, if the dragon-shaped insect can be sold for twenty large spirit stones, that would be great. I can buy two or three poisonous insects to send to them, which would be even better."
At this point, he gave a wry smile and said, "That's why I decided to raise the price."
"I think you are a kind person, so I am telling you this. I hope you will not be offended."
Chu Xuan seemed to be thinking about something.
I see.
This kind of thing is normal.
The Divine Sword Sect has the final say here.
Anyone who dares to offend the Divine Sword Sect will surely suffer a miserable end.
But he didn't want to give up the dragon worm just like that.
After a brief thought, he suddenly asked, "Since Senior Huashen likes to collect rare and unique poisonous insects, I have a kind of poisonous insect here that he will definitely like."
After he finished speaking, he flipped his palm and a jade box appeared in his palm, with a fire bee lying quietly inside.
This bee was originally just an ordinary fire bee born from the blood bee queen.
Later, he transformed it using the platinum-level demon insect cultivation method of the cave world.
The fire sac in its body can store the Netherworld Devouring Flame.
The color of the whole body changed from red and yellow to black and red.
Like a poisonous bee flying out of hell.
This appearance alone is enough to make people terrified.
However, this was only the first batch of fire bees he cultivated using the demon insect cultivation method, so there were many defects.
For example, life span is quite short.
It is also impossible to store the Netherworld Devouring Flame for a long time.
After a long time, it will even be spontaneously combusted by the Netherworld Flame.
He kept one as a souvenir.
The rest died on their own when their lifespans ran out.
I didn't expect that this fire bee would actually be useful.
In addition, the blood bee's brain is pitifully small and it only obeys the queen bee, so there is no possibility of anyone snooping into its memory.
This is also the reason why he felt confident in taking it out.
"This is..."
Ning Tai looked at the fire bee with surprise.
Chu Xuan held the fire bee in his palm and said with care, "I accidentally found this bee when I was exploring an ancient ruin."
"When I got it, it was lying in the natural spiritual fire, barely breathing. Upon closer inspection, I saw that it was actually absorbing the spiritual fire."
"Later, I took it away when it was least prepared. However, since I didn't know how to tame the Gu insect, I kept it sealed in this jade box to prolong its life."
Chu Xuan pointed at the fire bee's bulging belly and said, "Fellow Daoist Ning, please look, its belly is glowing red and is very hot. There must be a fire sac inside it."
Ning Tai was very surprised.
Fire bees that can absorb natural spiritual fire are indeed rare!
However, this fire bee looks sick and is probably no longer worth taming, only worth collecting.
Ning Tai nodded repeatedly, "This fire bee is indeed very valuable. That senior will definitely be happy."
"In that case, I will exchange this dragon-shaped insect with you."
Henry Chu smiled and nodded.
Firebees are very cheap.
As long as he wants, he can start mass production at any time.
There are not many dragon-shaped insects that are more than three hundred years old.
Being able to exchange fire bees for this dragon-shaped insect is obviously a sure-win deal.
The two exchanged poisonous insects and were both happy.
Ning Tai packed up his stall and went home with a happy face.
Chu Xuan also went home.
"You work hard, that's good."
"I'll try to find out the prices at Jinxiufang in the next few days."
"It would be best if there were some store that was about to go bankrupt that I could buy directly."
Henry Chu gave another casual instruction.
He Zhao nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, senior! I will do my best for you!"
After giving the instructions, Chu Xuan returned to Pinmingxuan, took a big step out, and returned to the Water Curtain Cave with the help of the Mirror of the Heavens.
Various poisonous insects have been prepared.
Now is the time to use the method of cultivating the Tianxue worm.
After all, the cultivation method of Tianxue worms is a cultivation method of the cave world, and it is ultimately different from the Gu worm cultivation method in the world of immortal cultivation.
Chu Xuan had already spent a lot of effort to make subtle improvements to it so that it could adapt to the world of immortal cultivation.
This work is not difficult, just a little tedious.
After all, the template is already here, and all that's left to do is fine-tune it.
Chu Xuan looked at the twelve kinds of poisonous insects placed in front of him and started to operate immediately.
The powerful organs on the poisonous insect, such as the fire sac of the fire bee and the poison sac of the poisonous bee, are actually the same as spiritual roots.
It is also the basis for the survival of the insect.
Without these organs, they cannot continue to grow.
But in order to create the Tianxue worm that combines the advantages of powerful poisonous insects, other poisonous insects have to suffer.
Chu Xuan has never had any moral baggage about this kind of thing.
…
Half a year later.
The training room was filled with golden light.
Chu Xuan looked at the dragon-shaped insect in front of him, which had changed drastically, with a look of surprise.
Done!
I didn't expect it to work in one go.
"I've been lucky lately."
Chu Xuan nodded with satisfaction and looked carefully at the dragon-shaped insect that was sleeping soundly.
During the process of transplanting the insect's organs, the dragon worm was always dormant.
If there is any sign of pain, Chu Xuan will stop transplanting the insect organ.
If there is no severe reaction, the transplant can be performed.
In this way, he transplanted a total of five types of poisonous insect organs.
At this moment, the dragon-shaped insect has moth wings, fire sacs, spider teeth, mantis arms, and phosphorus hairs.
Moth wings allow it to fly silently.
The fire sac allows it to store the Netherworld Devouring Flame.
Spider fangs allow it to easily bite through hard objects and inject venom.
The mantis arm allows it to easily cut flesh and blood, especially causing fatal injuries to parts such as the throat.
Phosphorus hair can help it hide its body.
Even the spiritual detection of a Divine Transformation cultivator can be avoided.
In addition, the dragon-shaped worm has a hard body, powerful qi and blood, and a long lifespan.
This Tianxue worm, which combines these powerful characteristics, is truly almighty!
After a quick investigation, Chu Xuan discovered that the Tianxue worm had already been promoted from the previous middle stage of the third level to the fourth level.
He was even more delighted.
With just a little more training, it would not be a problem to enter the ranks of the fifth-level Gu in the future.
If that day really comes, the Tianxue Worm will definitely be the most powerful killing weapon in his hand!
"I should give you a name, what should I call you?"
"Heaven Cave Bug, I just call you little..."
Henry Chu suddenly shook his head.
This name may easily make people imagine too much.
"You were cultivated using the cultivation method of the Cave World."
"Let's call it Tianku."
Chu Xuan nodded slightly.
It's a pity that we can't come up with a catchy name.
"wake up."
Chu Xuan injected a ray of spiritual power into Tianku, and he shook his head and woke up slowly.
Dragon worms have always been extremely lazy insects.
Unless you are starving to death, you will be too lazy to move.
This kind of insect can survive to this day...
I'm afraid it has something to do with its golden appearance.
After all, who doesn't like to have a pet that doesn't eat much but is super cool and handsome?
Tianku seemed puzzled by his current situation.
However, it only took a brief acquaintance with the new organ before immediately accepting the status quo.
That's life.
Since you can't resist, just enjoy it.
Tianku fell asleep with a plop, turned over and continued to sleep soundly.
Chu Xuan was stunned.
He fiddled with it for a long time, but the Tianku didn't respond at all, as if it were dead.
After a little thought, he took out the "Dragon Blood Crystal" that the dragon-shaped insect loved to eat.
If you put this crystal stone next to your ear, you can hear a strange cry, like the legendary dragon's roar.
This is why it was named Dragon Blood Crystal.
In fact, it has nothing to do with dragon blood.
It's just a mineral.
There is nothing special about dragon blood crystal. At best, it is just relatively hard.
So it's very cheap.
A large spirit stone can be sold for 100,000 kilograms of dragon blood crystal.
So, he bought 100,000 kilograms in one go, enough for Tianku to eat for hundreds or thousands of years.
As expected.
As soon as he took out the Dragon Blood Crystal, Tianku suddenly took off and rushed straight towards him.
But those small eyes, the size of rice grains, still did not open.
It's like sleepwalking.
Chu Xuan couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his teeth when he saw this.
The reincarnation of a glutton, right?
Chu Xuan supported his chin and watched Tianku bite the dragon blood crystal into small pieces and swallow it into his stomach.
After a while, Tianku was full.
No matter how many dragon blood crystals were around him, he did not move and just fell into a deep sleep.
Chu Xuan immediately shook his head.
"Well, there's no use for you now."
"Eat whatever you want. Try to reach the fifth level of Gu as soon as possible."
He put the Sky Cave into the insect breeding bag and stuffed a lot of dragon blood crystals into it, then began to pay attention to other things.
He first came to the sky above the zombie farm and asked the zombie mother and the zombie queen as usual if there was any news.
Both corpses shook their heads in embarrassment.
Apparently, there was still no news coming back from the mermaid corpses scattered throughout the deep sea of Aquamarine Star.
Chu Xuan was not too disappointed.
It has been like this for so many years anyway, so it doesn't matter if it's just for a while.
He returned to the Water Curtain Cave again.
"Not bad, have you really reached a higher level?"
Chu Xuan once again paid attention to the situation in the cave world.
Suddenly I realized that Xiao Renjie seemed to have become dozens of years younger.
His old face turned into a handsome middle-aged man.
The slightly loose muscles are also bulging.
If you don't look closely, you will think that this is a strong middle-aged man!
"Hahahaha! It's done! I've finally reached a higher level!"
Xiao Renjie was overjoyed.
"What should the realm above Diamond be called?"
"It seems our ancestors never mentioned it..."
"Let's call it Star Class."
Xiao Renjie nodded in agreement, "Star Insect Master, Star-level Demon Insect!"
"But why don't I feel like I'm ascending?"
Xiao Renjie quickly pulled out a yellowed book from the bookshelf.
This book is full of handwritten text.
Each page is also dated.
It looks more like a notebook.
Chu Xuan scanned the book with his spiritual sense and knew all the contents of the book at an extremely fast speed.
This book was left behind by the founding ancestor of the Wanchong Kingdom.
That person is an ascended insect master.
According to this person's records, once one's realm reaches above the Diamond Bug Master, the whole body will feel light and airy.
Once the realm is completely sufficient, one will ascend completely without any obstacles.
It seems that Xiao Renjie is still some distance away from true ascension.
"I see... almost, almost..."
Xiao Renjie thought again and again, "If that's the case, then I'll take advantage of it before I ascend and completely unify the country!"
"The Ten Thousand Insects Kingdom, the Sky Hole Kingdom, and the Flying Dragon Kingdom are all under the rule of Xiao Renjie."
"This is a great achievement that no previous ruler of the Ten Thousand Insects Kingdom has ever been able to achieve!"
The flame of ambition ignited in his eyes.
This is very normal.
Among the emperors and generals of all dynasties, who doesn't want to be recorded in history and be remembered forever?
"With my current strength, I only need to lead a group of elite insect masters to attack Huanglong and march into the capital of the Feilong tribe!"
The light in Xiao Renjie's eyes became even brighter, and he laughed strangely.
Under Chu Xuan's watchful eye, as expected, within just one month, Xiao Renjie gathered a group of extremely elite and absolutely loyal insect masters.
This group of insect masters consists of a total of one hundred people, all of whom practice the "Kaiqiao Sutra".
These one hundred people are at least Platinum Mushishi.
Especially the ten captains, they are diamond bug masters!
The leading captain has even entered the ranks of titled insect masters.
The title is "Seven Killers"!
Because his demon insect is the Seven Killer Bee, which is good at stealth and assassination!
"My king, what is the important matter that has brought us together?"
The Seven Insect Killers walked over quickly, looking puzzled.
The one hundred people here are almost the strongest insect masters in the territory of the Ten Thousand Insects Tribe.
What exactly does the king want to do?
Xiao Renjie laughed heartily, "Uncle Wang, what else could it be? Of course we're going straight to the Feilong Tribe's capital!"
The Seven Killing Insect Master was horrified, "My King, what are you talking about? Don't speak nonsense!"
Xiao Renjie smiled, "Uncle Wang, attack me now, don't hold back."
The Seven Killer Insect Masters shook their heads repeatedly, "No, my king, although you are a Diamond Insect Master, you are not better than me."
"If I use all my strength, you will definitely be seriously injured. I can't do such a thing."
Xiao Renjie restrained his smile and said seriously, "I command you to attack with all your strength!"
His tone carried the majesty of a king, and he brooked no refusal.
The Seven Killing Insect Master had no choice but to stretch out his hand and let the Seven Killing Bees attack and kill.
To be on the safe side, he did not let the Seven Killer Bees become invisible.
I was afraid that the king would not be able to react in time and would be seriously injured.
After all, the Seven Killer Bees are extremely fast.
The insect master couldn't react at all.
The others were also surprised when they heard the conversation between the King and the Seven Insect Killers.
They all stretched their necks, wanting to see what the result would be.
"go!"
The Seven Killing Insect Master sighed softly and gave the order immediately.
The moment the Seven Killer Bees rushed forward, a huge mantis appeared beside Xiao Renjie.
The mantis arm flashed by like lightning.
In an instant, the Seven Killer Bees were firmly clamped.
As long as Xiao Renjie gave the order, the sharp mantis arms would tighten and directly split the Seven Killer Bees into two!
The Seven Insect Killers' eyes widened, "Your Majesty..."
Xiao Renjie laughed heartily, "Uncle Wang, I have already reached a realm above the Diamond Bug Master!"
"I named it Star Class!"
The Seven Insect Killers were deeply shocked and immediately knelt down in worship, "Your Majesty is so powerful and mighty!"
The Diamond Mushi Master and the Platinum Mushi Master who came after them also saw this scene and knelt down devoutly.
"The king is mighty and powerful!"
"The king is mighty and powerful!"
The sound is like thunder, constantly surging and lasting for a long time.
Xiao Renjie laughed heartily and waved his hand, letting the black mantis release its arm and letting the seven-killing bees go back.
"Everyone, get up!"
"This king will accomplish an unprecedented feat!"
"The three major nations must all be subjugated by this king!"
"When success is achieved, you will all be loyal subjects!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the insect masters looked even more excited.
"We swear to follow the king until death! Even if it means death!"
Another month passed.
The Wanchong Kingdom, which had just annexed the Tianxue Kingdom, launched a fierce attack on the border of the Feilong Kingdom.
However, the Feilong Kingdom had long been prepared for the ambitions of the Wanchong Kingdom and had already deployed a large number of insect masters on the border.
The two sides were like two huge war machines and immediately began to crush each other madly.
When the border war was in full swing, an elite insect division sneaked into the Feilong Kingdom from another direction.
The leader is Xiao Renjie, who has already entered the ranks of Star Insect Master!
The fierce attack by the army on the eastern frontier was just a feint.
His team of 101 people is the real killer who can strike directly at the enemy's lair!
If the team was led by the Seven Insect Killers alone, they would not be able to fight their way through to the royal capital.
But the leader now is him, Xiao Renjie!
The Star Insect Master has an overwhelming advantage over the Diamond Insect Master and even the Titled Insect Master!
He is destined to win this battle!
A bug master from the western border of Feilongbu Kingdom reported that a group of bug masters of unknown origin had infiltrated the country.
But this information did not attract the attention of the court.
Harassment by small groups of troops is just a common tactic, so there is no need to worry about it.
But soon, the court of Feilong Kingdom paid a heavy price for this.
Because it only took less than a month.
Xiao Renjie led this commando team into the Feilong King's capital!
"The dragon training method... I see. It's not a real dragon."
"It's a demonic insect that looks like a dragonfly."
Chu Xuan swept his spiritual sense and obtained the method of cultivating flying dragons, and nodded repeatedly.
There is also such a saying in the world of cultivating immortals.
Those exceptionally large dragonfly monsters are also called dragon dragonflies.
This method of training flying dragons is quite good.
But now, Chu Xuan no longer needs more poisonous insects.
Steel Wire, Morning Light, and Sky Cave, these three poisonous insects are enough.
No matter how many poisonous insects there are, they are just icing on the cake.
Chu Xuan used his spiritual consciousness to condense words and made the "Great Acupoint Opening Sutra" appear on the surface of the mirror fragments.
On the other side of the mirror, Xiao Renjie was ecstatic.
"Okay, okay! This is the 'Great Awakening Sutra'!"
"With it, I will definitely be able to ascend!"
Xiao Renjie quickly chose the most powerful "Green Fire Dragon" in the Feilong Kingdom as his new demon insect.
After practicing "Kaiqiao Jing" and "Da Kaiqiao Jing", he gained two more insect orifices.
Now there are a total of seven insect orifices, which can tame seven demon insects!
Just then.
A hint of pain suddenly appeared on Xiao Renjie's ecstatic face.
"No, don't come over here!"
"I want to ascend, I want to become the strongest insect master in the history of the three major countries!"
"I will never go underground! Don't even think about influencing me!"
Xiao Renjie had a splitting headache and kept rolling around in this magnificent palace.
Like a worm.
Several eunuchs wanted to get closer.
But the old eunuch who had been following Xiao Renjie shook his head and signaled them not to get close.
A young eunuch rolled his eyes and growled, "We can't let the king suffer like this!"
"My king, I'm here to save you!"
He rushed over in one leap.
The old eunuch sighed lightly and ignored it.
The young eunuch quickly rushed to Xiao Renjie and was about to speak.
Xiao Renjie's eyes turned red and he suddenly stretched out his hand.
With a snap, the young eunuch's head was crushed on the spot.
Only after venting all the pain, cruelty and anger in his heart did Xiao Renjie gradually calm down.
The old eunuch then waved his hand, signaling several young eunuchs to come forward, clean up the bloodstains and move away the headless body.
"Your Majesty, is it still the same?" The old eunuch offered a clean white cloth and asked in a low voice.
Xiao Renjie wiped the blood off his face and said, "Kill them all. Don't leave any alive."
"Yes, I'll do it right away." The old eunuch bowed respectfully and turned to leave.
After a while, screams that suddenly stopped were heard outside.
Xiao Renjie rubbed his temples and frowned deeply.
"Why."
"As my level increases, I become more easily influenced by Him."
"What the hell is this thing..."
After much thought, Xiao Renjie picked up the mirror fragments and said, "Magic mirror, no, divine mirror, do you know what the voice in my head is?"
"I now own three kingdoms. Whatever method you want to cultivate demon insects, I will give it to you!"
Henry Chu smacked his lips.
I know nothing.
Seeing the mirror was calm and showed no reaction.
Xiao Renjie sighed and put it aside.
After a short rest, he continued to practice.
…
"My body feels light and airy, clearly drawn to the higher realms, and I'm gradually experiencing signs of ascension."
"Until the day when your realm is high enough, you will definitely be able to ascend."
"However, this cave world has no sky, only a rock dome. How can he ascend?"
Chu Xuan thought about it.
It turns out that Xiao Renjie seems to have no other choice but to abandon his body and let his soul ascend to heaven.
So, where did the strange sound that troubled Xiao Renjie come from?
Why did that strange voice encourage Xiao Renjie to move underground instead of moving towards the higher dome?
Chu Xuan thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure out why.
All we can say is that the cave world has its own national conditions.
As a stranger in a foreign land, I should not think too much.
Just keep watching.
Anyway, Xiao Renjie will ascend sooner or later.
By then, the answer will naturally be revealed.
Chu Xuan scanned Xiao Renjie's body with his spiritual sense.
He found that he was still a long way from being fully replenished with energy.
He then withdrew his spiritual consciousness and returned to Pinmingxuan.
…
Nishang Island, Tianren Tower.
This is the number one restaurant on Nishang Island.
It is said that the person behind this is Yun Feijian, the ancestor of the Divine Sword Sect, and therefore few people dare to cause trouble here.
The chef of Tianren Tower is a Jindan cultivator who has been studying the art of spiritual food since he was a child.
No matter how unpalatable the natural treasures are, they can become delicacies after being cooked by him.
Many cultivators know that their aptitude is mediocre and they are unable to reach a higher realm, so they might as well enjoy life while they have a short remaining lifespan.
The delicacies of Tianren Tower just cater to this group of monks.
Because of this, Tianren Building is always bustling with people coming and going.
Following He Zhao's recommendation, Chu Xuan also came to Tianren Tower to try it out.
He chose a seat by the window and ordered several signature dishes.
While waiting, I also listened attentively to the conversations of other monks.
The monks who were enjoying the delicacies in Tianren Building mostly talked about trivial matters and did not deliberately speak in secret to avoid others.
Chu Xuan listened briefly and heard a lot of trivial things.
For example, which Yuanying cultivator took in his ninety-second concubine.
For example, a cultivator in the late Jindan stage successfully advanced to the Yuanying stage with the help of his ancestor Huashen.
There are countless examples like this.
"Huh? Someone is actually talking about Baji Palace?"
Chu Xuan laughed in silence.
It makes sense when you think about it.
He has been in the East Third Ring Road for some time.
The birth of Baji Palace in the South Third Ring Road is a major event, and it must have spread to the East Third Ring Road.
He listened carefully, but found that few people were telling the truth.
It's all hearsay.
Some people say that all the gods in the South Third Ring Road died in the Baji Palace.
Some people also say that all eight inheritances of Baji Palace were obtained by one person.
Some even claimed that there were terrifying demons hidden in the Baji Palace, and that the Shattered Star Sea would one day be swallowed up by these demons.
Henry Chu couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head.
After a while, Tianrenlou's signature dish was served.
Henry Chu picked up the jade chopsticks and savored it carefully.
He Zhao stood beside him and said respectfully, "Senior, I have searched all over Jinxiufang as you instructed. But there are no shops that have closed down."
"Those shops that are operating normally require a high price to buy..."
Chu Xuan nodded in understanding.
This is normal.
It's impossible that I just arrived and happened to come across a bankrupt shop being sold at a bargain price.
This kind of plot with the protagonist's halo is obviously not suitable for me.
Henry Chu said casually, "Wait a little longer, this matter is not urgent."
"Tell me in detail the situation of each area."
He Zhao nodded and was about to speak.
At this moment, a loud old laugh suddenly came from the side.
"Hey, isn't this Fellow Daoist He? Nice to meet you!"
Chu Xuan looked over and saw an old man and a young boy.
The old man was Ning Tai.
Ning Tai is now completely devoid of the luster of the past.
Although old, he is in good spirits.
Even the cloudy eyes are full of hope.
Standing next to Ning Tai was a handsome young monk.
Chu Xuan took a quick look and found that this person had reached the late Jindan stage.
Needless to say, he guessed that this person should be Ning Tai's grandson.
Chu Xuan stood up and bowed slightly, "Nice to meet you, nice to meet you. I didn't expect that I would come to Tianren Building to enjoy the delicious food and meet Fellow Daoist Ning. It's really fate."
"The one next to you, fellow Daoist, should be..."
Ning Tai's face was full of smiles. "Exactly! This is my grandson Ning Wangyuan!"
"Wangyuan, quickly salute this Senior He."
"If it weren't for his Firebee, you wouldn't have been able to get out so smoothly and even save the store."
Ning Wangyuan bowed immediately upon hearing this, "Thank you, Senior He! From now on, you will be my benefactor!"
Henry Chu smiled slightly.
Are you acknowledging your benefactor now?
It's a bit too early.
Ning Tai said enthusiastically, "We are also here at Tianren Tower to celebrate. Can we have a meal together? I hope it won't interfere with your important work."
Henry Chu smiled and nodded, "No problem, both of you take a seat."
"He Zhao, ask the waiter to arrange another chair."
"Yes." He Zhao nodded respectfully.
Not long.
Chu Xuan and Ning Tai and Ning Wangyuan, grandfather and grandson, ate and drank heartily and started chatting.
He Zhao stood respectfully by the side without saying a word.
After all, his cultivation level was only at the foundation-building stage, far from being up to par.
Chu Xuan and the other two chatted about everything in the world, talking about all kinds of cultivation skills, and even mentioned topics such as magic talismans, evil pills, and poisonous insects.
You should know that these topics have always been defined as unorthodox in the territory of the Divine Sword Sect.
Ning Tai suddenly smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, you came from the South Third Ring Road. Are you aware of a major event that recently occurred in the South Third Ring Road?"
Chu Xuan nodded, "Many people in Tianren Tower are talking about this. I've heard about it too. Is it the Baji Palace?"
"It took me quite a while to get from the South Third Ring Road to the East Third Ring Road, so I don't know what happened."
Ning Taiduo glanced at Henry Chu a few times, and could not see any false expression on his face. Then he said, "I also learned about it from an old friend who just came back from doing business in the South Third Ring Road."
"I heard that the remains of an ancient body-refining sect appeared in the South Third Ring Road."
"That day, many cultivators were sucked underground, even the Great Divine Transformation cultivators were not spared."
"Later, some monks came out alive and said that the ancient ruins were full of strange demons and evil spirits."
"It is said that several immortals have perished in the underground."
Ning Tai sighed, "The South Third Ring Road is in chaos right now. Everyone's fighting over territory."
Chu Xuan nodded slightly.
After all, both Master Huangquan and Master Haoyue died in Baji Palace.
True Man Black Wind did not join in from the beginning, so he was spared.
As for the White Bone Master, he was probably randomly teleported to the South Third Ring Road.
Otherwise, the South Third Ring Road would not have been in such a chaotic state of conflict, and would have been integrated and unified by Master Black Wind with lightning speed long ago.
Ning Wangyuan listened curiously, "I have heard of the Baji Palace. It is said to be one of the best body refining sects in the ancient world."
"Among them, there are eight inheritances, and they should have all been revealed by now."
Ning Tai shook his head. "I don't know about that. My old friend didn't experience it personally, so he couldn't describe it in detail."
Just then, laughter came from the table next to us.
"I do know something about the emergence of the Baji Palace in the South Third Ring Road!"
His voice was so loud that it immediately attracted the attention of many monks.
Chu Xuan looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was a bearded Nascent Soul cultivator.
He didn't recognize him and didn't notice that he had changed his appearance.
The bearded monk laughed heartily and said with a bow, "I am Zhang Ziheng, a monk from the South Third Ring Road."
"If I hadn't happened to be far away from Tianhuang Island that day, I would have been sucked into the Baji Palace!"
A cultivator nearby immediately whispered, "I've heard that the Baji Palace seems to be located beneath Tianhuang Island. What this person said must be true."
Zhang Ziheng sighed, "There are indeed evil spirits in Baji Palace. They are called corpse demons by the senior monks of Baji Palace."
"The inheritance in Baji Palace is not complete, there are only six gates."
"If you cannot obtain all the inheritances, you will not be able to leave the Baji Palace. You will have to stay there forever, fighting the corpse demons until you die."
Ning Wangyuan was surprised and asked, "Since no one left alive, how did you know what was going on inside?"
Zhang Ziheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, my friend. Someone will definitely come out alive."
"But it wasn't through conventional means. Instead, he left through a teleportation array."
The monks then nodded repeatedly, "So that's how it is."
Zhang Ziheng laughed heartily, "I also heard an interesting story, let me share it with you fellow Taoists."
The monks gave the order and craned their necks to look at him.
Zhang Ziheng smiled and said, "I asked a few cultivators who made it out alive, and they all claimed that there was a Nascent Soul Stage Magic Talisman Master named Liu Zhenxiong who was shining brightly in the Baji Palace."
"The Transformation God Patriarch of the Mingyue Society in the South Third Ring Road, Master Haoyue, was severely injured by him in a one-on-one battle."
At this point, the monks exclaimed.
A Nascent Soul cultivator could actually severely injure a Spirit Transformation cultivator!
Zhang Ziheng continued, "The teleportation array was also repaired by Liu Zhenxiong."
"However, he charged a toll to everyone. If you don't hand over your treasure, you can't leave through the teleportation array."
"In the end, even a True Spirit Transformation Master was blackmailed by Liu Zhenxiong."
Ning Wangyuan and He Zhao both opened their mouths wide.
ah?
Even the True Man Huashen was blackmailed!
That Liu Zhenxiong is so awesome!
Ning Tai was amazed. "This person is very powerful and knows how to take advantage of every opportunity to gain benefits."
"Looking far ahead, only those who can live long lives, you must remember this."
Ning Wangyuan nodded repeatedly.
I felt great admiration for Master Liu Zhenxiong Liu Fu, whom I had never met before.
Chu Xuan also exclaimed in admiration, "This Master Liu Fu is truly audacious! He even dares to blackmail a Divine Transformation cultivator!"
"If it were me, I would never dare to do such a bold thing."
Zhang Ziheng bowed to everyone, then chuckled, "I'm Zhang Ziheng, and I run a spirit beast shop in the west section of Jinxiufang. If you have time, fellow Taoists, please remember to come and support me."
"My Spirit Beast Shop has good quality and low prices. Several people have bought monster beasts with mutated bloodlines. Don't miss it if you pass by!"
The monks all uttered a cry in unison and dispersed.
Henry Chu also started laughing.
No wonder he was willing to stand up just now.
It turns out that he wanted to take the opportunity to sell something.
Wait until the monks return to their seats.
Ning Tai chatted casually, "Running the spirit beast business is quite profitable."
"Does Fellow Daoist He have any special skills? You know, it's not easy to live on this Nishang Island."
Chu Xuan nodded, "Of course. Without a shop, there will be no spiritual stones coming in. Even if you have mountains of gold and silver, you will eventually run out of money."
"Unfortunately, I've had people check and there aren't any shops that have closed down recently."
"If we buy those shops that are still operating normally, the price would be too high, and the other party might not be willing to sell."
Ning Tai laughed heartily. "Those guys are smart people. Why would they take the initiative to sell at such a low price?"
"I do know an old friend who plans to move to the North Third Ring Road, so he wants to sell his shop."
"He originally leased it for a hundred years, and now there's still more than fifty years left."
"I'll negotiate for you and I'll definitely get it at a low price!"
