Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
Xu Zixiao's fingertip moved slightly, and she put away the three insect eggs and the ancient book.
Her gaze then fell upon that patch of dark red blood soil.
He instinctively felt that this thing was not right.
He immediately leaned down to investigate; when his fingertip touched the soil, he perceived a faint anomaly.
Beneath the blood soil was not solid rock, but rather something hidden.
He lightly lifted his long sword, slowly brushing away the surface blood soil, and soon revealed a palm-sized, entirely lustrous white cicada slough.
This cicada slough was as thin as cicada wings, shimmering with a faint pearlescent glow, its surface engraved with dense spiral patterns.
They resembled insect patterns yet contained some kind of regularity.
Faint spiritual energy flowed between the patterns.
Forming a subtle resonance with the surrounding blood soil and spirit vein nodes.
Xu Zixiao reported truthfully: "Master, a cicada slough is hidden beneath the blood soil."
Xu Zhangqing saw this object clearly through the shared vision, a look of doubt flashing in his eyes: "A cicada slough?"
"It seems not an ordinary item; take it along with everything else, bring it all back to me!"
"Yes."
Xu Zixiao assented, then put away the cicada slough.
But it wasn't over; she even dug out all the blood soil intact.
She didn't even let the night pearls in the secret passage go.
Only after taking everything did she turn and leave.
Wang Han had been waiting at the entrance for a long time; the moment Xu Zixiao's figure appeared, his gaze immediately swept over her, his eyes carrying a hint of curiosity.
Obviously, there must be something down there.
Possibly a spiritual treasure.
Or possibly some kind of opportunity.
Only after thinking it over did he finally sensibly refrain from asking more.
He had relied on others to do the work to kill these spirit insect cultivators.
Any good things, the other party taking them was only natural.
As for himself, at worst he could sneak in to take a look after this person left; perhaps he could pick up some overlooked things.
Anyway, no matter what, this trip out was not only not a loss, but a huge profit.
Taking this opportunity, he could draw closer to the Great Yue Dynasty once again.
Xu Zixiao walked toward the trapped Devouring Spirit Mother Worm, then carried it to Wang Han's front: "How do you know the Devouring Spirit Mother Worm?"
Xu Zhangqing, borrowing his mouth, asked the doubts and curiosity in his heart.
Logically speaking, the other party was not a spirit insect cultivator.
How could he know such a rare spirit insect?
A look of solemnity suddenly appeared on Wang Han's face: "You do not know, this Devouring Spirit Mother Worm appeared once fifty years ago."
"Back then, a group of evil cultivators controlled it, absorbing the spiritual energy of a three hundred mu First Grade Spirit Field, as well as the essence blood of mortals in several surrounding villages."
"Causing large areas of spirit fields to become desolate, and even countless casualties."
"Finally, it was our Immortal Sect's Mo Zhenjun who took action, thus resolving it."
"Never expected that, after fifty years, it would appear again!"
Xu Zhangqing raised an eyebrow: "Mo Qiu Shui?"
Seeing the person before him blurt out the name of Mo Zhenjun, Wang Han's expression changed slightly; besides being shocked in his heart, he nodded and said: "Yes, it is Mo Qiu Shui Zhenjun!"
Xu Zhangqing said thoughtfully: "The subsequent matters will be handled by you."
"Good!"
Wang Han quickly cupped his hands: "I just said, I have already notified the Great Yue Official Government."
"They will arrive soon and will surely properly settle these mortals and clean up the outpost's hidden dangers."
Xu Zixiao said no more, carrying the Devouring Spirit Mother Worm, transforming into a streak of green flowing light, and flying toward the direction of Dongting Immortal Sect.
……
……
Inside Hongfeng Valley, Xu Zixiao presented the harvest of this trip one by one.
Devouring Spirit Mother Worm.
Three mysterious insect eggs.
An ancient book.
A whole pile of blood soil.
And the mysterious lustrous white cicada slough.
Xu Zhangqing raised his hand and beckoned; these things all floated before his eyes.
With a movement of his mind, the ancient book before him automatically turned its pages.
Soon, four large characters entered his eyes.
"Shèlíng Mìlù."
Its contents actually corroborated the Ten Thousand Insects Secret Record, recording the advancement method of the Spirit Devouring Insect.
It also contained a method to modify the Devouring Spirit Mother Worm, able to strip away its fierce Qi and convert it into a Protective Spirit Mother Worm.
Xu Zhangqing smiled without smiling: "A bit interesting."
Then, his Divine Sense swept toward the three mysterious insect eggs on the side.
In terms of aura, they were quite similar to the Devouring Spirit Mother Worm; they should share the same origin.
Because he recognized the Blood Soil, he directly passed by it, looking at that lustrous white cicada slough.
Xu Zhangqing probed repeatedly, yet could not see through its origin.
He only felt the patterns on the cicada slough were quite similar to a certain Ancient Spirit Worm in his memory, and moreover it had a weak "Spirit Gathering" effect.
Because he could not confirm its use, he could only put it into the Si Geng Token.
Finally, only the long-awaited Devouring Spirit Mother Worm remained.
It indeed had the ability to control other spirit insects.
Its rarity was comparable to his own Leijin Kui.
A smile flashed in Xu Zhangqing's eyes, then his fingertip condensed a wisp of Green Radiance, immediately striking it into the Devouring Spirit Mother Worm's light barrier.
The Green Radiance surged into the mother worm's body; it instantly let out a weak hiss.
The killing Qi around it gradually faded, gradually becoming docile.
Xu Zhangqing, according to the method in the Shèlíng Mìlù, combined with the Ten Thousand Insects Secret Record's insect control secret art, bit by bit stripped away its ferocity.
In no time, a layer of faint green light rose on the Devouring Spirit Mother Worm's body surface.
The originally pitch-black shell now became slightly lustrous and moist.
The ferocity in its eyes disappeared; at this moment its eyes were big and big, looking cute and adorable.
Xu Zhangqing blinked: "Now I have three worms.
One, the Reverse Meridian Dragon Transformation Insect Mother.
Two, Leijin Kui.
Three, the Devouring Spirit Mother Worm."
In terms of rarity, the Reverse Meridian Dragon Transformation Insect Mother definitely ranks first.
Next is Leijin Kui.
And the rare Devouring Spirit Mother Worm can only be relegated to third.
Xu Zhangqing did not hesitate, immediately going to the Spirit Field polluted by the Spirit-Sucking Leeches.
Upon arrival, the situation here was no different from before.
The same wretchedness.
The same everywhere Spirit-Sucking Leeches drilling to and fro.
The air was filled with a thick, fishy stench.
From time to time a "gurgle" bubble would pop up.
Xu Zhangqing summoned the Devouring Spirit Mother Worm, placing it into the black mud.
Upon sensing the turbid aura, the mother worm immediately let out a "buzzing" sound.
Initially, there was not the slightest reaction around.
But as time passed, the buzzing sound continuously resounded.
Finally, the Spirit-Sucking Leeches in the mud showed changes.
Originally they drilled to and fro, looking aimless.
Suddenly, the batch nearest the Devouring Spirit Mother Worm inexplicably froze.
Immediately after, as if receiving some signal, they twisted their bodies bit by bit.
Soon, a miraculous scene appeared in Xu Zhangqing's eyes.
These Spirit-Sucking Leeches moved in neat unison, one after another wriggling closer to the Devouring Spirit Mother Worm.
Xu Zhangqing originally planned to directly kill them, but on second thought gave up this idea.
In the Spirit Field, they are one of the pests.
But in other places, they can be used to make medicine and also used for alchemy.
Even some special Spirit Tools and Magic Tools require their powder.
Such a huge quantity, if sold, would absolutely make a big profit.
What's more, he himself is a Spirit Insect Cultivator.
Therefore raising a batch is not impossible.
A full half hour, all the Spirit-Sucking Leeches in the black mud were controlled.
【102】 Seeing this, Xu Zhangqing immediately released the Xuan Water Pearl, first letting it float in the air to attract surrounding Water Spirit Qi closer, then burying it into the black mud, utilizing its effect of purifying and stabilizing the spirit vein, to restore vitality to this polluted Spirit Field!
Seeing this, Xu Zhangqing immediately released the Xuan Water Pearl, first letting it float in the air to draw nearby Water Spirit Qi close, then burying it in the black mud, using its purifying and stabilizing effect on the spirit veins to restore vitality to this Corrupted Spirit Field!
