However, having the heart to eliminate demons and defend the Dao is already worth encouraging, although I am a demonic cultivator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Divine Pine Senior, can you tell fewer hell jokes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Lin Jing inferred based on the existing information: \"So, Brother Ouyang’s poison and the disappearance of the spiritual beasts in Snow Moon City are not man-made?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There should be an ownerless Gu insect active in Snow Moon City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The mysterious disappearance of ice-attribute spiritual beasts is the Gu insect feeding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The reason for inferring that it is an ownerless Gu is because if a Gu master was feeding the Gu insect, there would be no need to cause a stir in Snow Moon City. There are ownerless ice beasts everywhere in the snowfield. Coming to provoke the Beast-Taming Sect and Snow Moon City is simply lighting a lamp in a toilet—looking for death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Ouyang should have been accidentally injured by the Gu insect... maybe his yang energy was too full, making this ice Gu unhappy. Yang and cold counter-balance~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is also possible that ice and cold belong to yin, and the ice Gu wanted to harvest yang to supplement yin, so it hurt them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Divine Pine said: \"You and that Gao Sheng are evenly matched.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing: \"Still a bit stronger, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In short, if it is an ownerless Gu, then it is much easier to handle. Whether it is an insect or a Gu insect, it is said that their IQ is not high,\" Lin Jing said. \"Divine Pine Senior, can you find the other party’s location?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you can't find it, I will take action.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Divine Pine said: \"Using your method to search is indeed faster than me searching.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, a snow-white rabbit, staring with blue eyes, hopped on the snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Lin Jing after 'Thousand Changes and Ten Thousand Illusions'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snow rabbits raised in the Beast Valley actually only had first-layer Qi Refining cultivation and had not opened their intelligence. Such snow rabbits could attract the ice Gu, so Lin Jing added more fierce ingredients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he only disguised himself as a Qi Refining snow rabbit, this snow rabbit’s leg had a wound, and the wound emitted a faint aura of longevity blood!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Longevity body is a fatal temptation for demon beasts, and naturally, it is also for Gu insects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Coo coo~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Coo coo~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing sang while jumping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A night of wind and snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing was frozen until his face turned purple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced inside the beast-taming space and found that the Pine-Leaf Rat was resting and wiping its mechanical bamboo spear, preparing for the upcoming battle, so comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lin Jing dragged the Pine-Leaf Rat out, covered it with an illusion, and let it accompany him as bait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With Divine Pine Senior here, there is no chance for you to take action. Come and do some serious work with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Pine-Leaf Rat came out, it had a bitter face. It hated heat and also hated cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, reality didn't torture them for too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lin Jing and the Pine-Leaf Rat turned into peerless twin rabbits for a while, the Divine Pine seemed to have sensed something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snowflakes falling in mid-air actually magically condensed into white silk, dancing like a white snake, wanting to wrap around the snow rabbit that Lin Jing had turned into.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before this white silk could get close, a golden-green spiritual power fluctuation flashed across the pine nut Lin Jing was carrying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, a mass of golden resin appeared, completely swallowing and wrapping the flying white silk, floating there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Divine Pine Senior, how is it!\" Lin Jing looked at the densely packed white silk wrapped in the resin. Hmm? Only silk?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Failed,\" the Divine Pine said. \"Just as I thought, it is not an ordinary Gu insect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Gu insect... should not have been born yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Formless things, naturally cannot be caught.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Squeak!!!\" The Pine-Leaf Rat suspected that the Divine Pine didn't catch it, so it was making excuses!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How can an unborn Gu eat a snow rabbit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s freezing to death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know how Gu comes to be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Put various highly poisonous insects in a container, let them kill each other, swallow each other’s poison, and the one left in the end is the Gu,\" Lin Jing gave the most superficial explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Gu is a poisonous insect cultivated by cultivators acquiredly, not an innate insect, so the form of Gu is strange and varied.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Among the countless Gu insects refined by the Gu God Sect, there are ten strange Gu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They take the form of poisonous insects, but their bodies are composed of elements, immortal and indestructible. Every time they are destroyed, they will not truly die in the sense. After thousands of years, they can absorb nutrients in the corresponding elemental place and be reborn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although they will forget all memories after rebirth, like reincarnation, their bloodline power... they will retain. It can be said that each one is the king of Gu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I didn't judge wrong, a strange ice-type Gu will soon be born and reborn here,\" the Divine Pine said. \"That white silk is it using ice and snow as organs, instinctively absorbing nutrients, preparing to turn formless into form.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing and the Pine-Leaf Rat gained knowledge. There is actually such a strange Gu. No wonder the Gu God Sect could become one of the few demonic sects that were not completely destroyed during the Demon-Elimination Action of the Tianyuan Ancient Country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what should we do, wait for it to be reborn and then capture it?\" Lin Jing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is the only way. However, I think what you should do now is to go and find the real murderer who hurt your senior brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Divine Pine finished speaking, Lin Jing was startled and immediately understood what was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An unborn Gu insect only has the most primitive desire to eat, and Gu poison is the attack method after the Gu insect is formed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing asked: \"There is a Gu God Sect cultivator... waiting here for the Gu insect to be born? Was Senior Brother really injured by a demonic cultivator?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not necessarily a Gu God Sect cultivator, but it must be a cultivator who understands 'Gu techniques'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Newborn Gu insects are different from mature Gu insects. After they are just born, they will instinctively look for a host to parasitize, sleep, and digest and grow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ordinary cultivators will definitely not be willing to be a container for Gu insect growth. After all, for a cultivator, a Gu insect is a bloodsucker and will bring many negative effects to the cultivator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if you change the angle, as long as you can bear the consequences and use the Gu insect, then the power of the Gu insect can be used by the cultivator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The cultivator branch of Gu Master came from this. If it were just this, Gu Masters would not be demonic cultivators. Unfortunately, there are too few cultivators who can bear Gu insect parasitism, and most Gu Masters are reluctant to give up the power of Gu insects, so they can only use the bodies of others as nutrients to cultivate Gu insects.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Each different Gu insect requires a different parasitic environment. If there is a person who knows in advance that a strange Gu will be born and reborn in this city, then he has enough time to prepare and cultivate his own physique into a physique suitable for the strange ice Gu to sleep and grow, turning into a Gu Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even, if he also obtained the refining method of the lower-level Gu of the strange Gu, he could first parasitize the lower-level Gu in his body to increase his own adaptability to the strange ice Gu. The birthplace of the Gu King is also the best place to refine its lower-level Gu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A physique suitable for ice Gu to sleep and absorb nutrients...\" Lin Jing thought of City Lord Tang’s acquired Ice Spirit Body at the first moment. Could it be that Brother Gao was right???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, no, although ice Gu and Ice Spirit Body look very compatible, but in this case, why did City Lord Tang attack Brother Ouyang?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a Golden Core cultivator taking action, even if Brother Ouyang was strong, he couldn't escape. Not to mention, it is said that it was the City Lord’s Mansion’s cultivators who discovered the injured Brother Ouyang and gave him treatment at the first moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing said counter-intuitively: \"Could it be that the physique most suitable for ice Gu to parasitize is fire-attribute, yang-attribute? The cultivator waiting in the dark for the strange Gu to be reborn is of this attribute. He learned that the strange Gu would recover recently, but also discovered Brother Ouyang, who also has a yang-attribute physique. Due to worrying that Brother Ouyang’s existence would affect his becoming a container for the Gu insect, he secretly persecuted him with a sub-Gu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the Gu insect actually playing the game of yin and yang harmony and ice and fire fusion? Or is it that a pure fire-attribute cultivator won't be frozen to death too quickly, leaving the Gu insect with no home to return to.\" \u003C\u002Fp>",1646,"2026-06-17T19:45:31.600Z","2026-06-18T03:10:38.119Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","e4ade99cf5a56d2548de253bf7a2327bd414d3c062da9dd7006e5c00fcf6f4bb","beast-taming-to-ascension-chapter-56","beast-taming-to-ascension-chapter-54",673,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-ascension-cover.jpg"]
