Chapter 185: The Western Lands Long Clan

Long Qian laughed: "Speaking of which, this Shi Haojun incident is truly an opportunity for our Western Lands Long Clan."

"Originally, if we wanted to collect enough experimental materials, we would have had to suffer heavy losses, and even gathering the strength of the entire clan would have been far from enough."

"But now Black Stone City is trapped to death, everyone is trapped in the city and cannot get out, and water and food are cut off. Food and water are used up a little bit less."

"In this situation, who still dares to take a large amount of food to feed that group of insects."

"So all clans began to frantically sell off the spirit insect resources in the clan, and it was a tearful clearance sale, and they were already cheap to cabbage prices."

"And even if it has dropped to cabbage prices, no one is willing to buy it. In the city now, even a cabbage is more expensive than a top-grade spirit insect. It's just that exaggerated."

"And our clan, relying on the convenience of being able to communicate with the outside world, is not short of food at all, and can completely eat up the spirit insect resources of the whole city at a ridiculously low price."

"You heard it right, it is the spirit insect resources of the whole city, which were all eaten up by our clan at an almost free price."

"Hahaha... This time our clan has made a fortune. This disaster in Black Stone City is simply an opportunity for our clan."

"Obviously, researching the dragon blood battle Gu formula requires consuming a massive amount of resources. Now we are equivalent to zero-cost research on the Gu formula, taking the resources of the whole city for free research, hahaha..."

Long Qian laughed wildly, his laughter simply shaking the ears.

Long Xuan moved a little further away from him, and couldn't help but be stunned. This is also possible?

He widened his eyes, which meant that the Western Lands Long Clan was now changing from a bird gun to a cannon, and a bicycle to a motorcycle?

Believing that this mountain of insect-breeding bags was not all, the Western Lands Long Clan had simply made a fortune this time.

No wonder Long Qian would laugh like this. If it were him, he would also laugh crazy.

After Long Qian's laughter, he said again: "Now the resources for researching the dragon blood battle Gu formula are almost enough."

"And the defensive power of the dragon blood battle Gu is enough to withstand the damage of the plague demon Gu. If the dragon blood battle Gu can be refined, it can basically ignore the tiny insect species in the air, including that plague demon Gu."

"At that time, the family doesn't need to be too afraid of that plague demon Gu. Even if the city is broken, the family high-level officials can withstand the damage of the plague demon Gu and forcibly break out."

"So the dragon blood battle Gu is too important to the family. It must be researched at the fastest speed and at all costs." Long Qian looked at Long Xuan seriously and said.

"If you want to break out, can't you just come over from the space hut? It's been two months, and you are still holding on over there?" Long Xuan asked in surprise.

Long Qian shook his head and said seriously: "We can't leave yet. Once other families discover the secret of the space hut, our Long Clan will become the target of public criticism, and the consequences will be unimaginable. The most important thing is that if we leave, we won't be able to make money."

"You can rest assured that the situation in Black Stone City has not reached the point where we must leave. Black Stone City is the sturdiest city in the Western Lands. Even if Shi Haojun has countless plague corpses, it is not easy to break in."

"Because of an auction, there are enough spirit stone resources in the city, enough for the city-protecting great array to hold on for a long, long time."

"The only shortage is food and water. Black Stone City is too far away from the Central Region. It will take at least two or three years for the strong from the Central Region to come to help. The food and water in the city can never hold on for such a long time."

"To be blunt, if there was no such space hut, then Black Stone City would definitely not be able to hold on."

"But with the variable of the space hut, food resources can be continuously transported into the city from the outside, so Black Stone City can be completely revitalized, and holding on for a few years is definitely not a problem."

"Hehe, you know that the cabbage in the city is no longer cabbage prices. Food and water are sky-high prices in the city, and they are the most expensive things in the city, and they are constantly rising in price every day."

"Once we secretly transport food into the city, we can really make a fortune."

"We only need to sell food in Black Stone City for a few years, and we can almost move the treasure vaults of all clans. Hahaha... This business can be done. We are going to make a fortune! Hahaha..."

Long Qian laughed wildly again, laughing until tears were about to come out.

Hearing this, Long Xuan couldn't help but twitch his mouth. He didn't expect the Western Lands Long Clan to have the idea of looting during a fire, intending to take this opportunity to plunder the resources of the whole city.

Good heavens, it was really ruthless. No wonder they were unwilling to come out. This was simply a massive wealth. Could they be willing to come out? They had been attracted by those wealth and couldn't move.

He couldn't help but start to sympathize with the major families in the city. Being stared at by this group of Long skin-peelers, could they have a good life?

If they knew the Western Lands Long Clan's plan at this time, they would probably be half-dead with anger.

Thinking of this, Long Xuan hurriedly reminded: "Then you must not sell those things in the name of the Long Clan. They will notice something wrong sooner or later. At that time, the Long Clan may become the target of public criticism and arouse public anger."

Long Qian glanced at him sideways and said disdainfully: "Do you still need to tell me this? Do you really think those high-level officials are stupid? They are more refined than anyone else. You can put one hundred hearts into their work."

"That's good! Then I won't say much more. I will move the materials in and hurry up to research the Gu formula."

Long Xuan looked at the insect-breeding bags that were like several mountains with burning eyes and began to call a group of ice bees to move the materials.

The ice bees had great strength. In groups of two or three, they grabbed the insect-breeding bags and flew to the top of the mountain. With a scale of ten thousand ice bees, it didn't take long to move the insect-breeding bags on the ground.

Long Qian watched in amazement, feeling very curious about this group of bee species he had never seen before, but his mouth moved, and in the end, he didn't ask much, waved his hand at Long Xuan and said: "Then I'll go first. I'll wait for your good news. Don't let us down."

"Rest assured, it won't take long." After speaking, Long Xuan also ran back into the array excitedly, laughing from ear to ear all the way. He had to sigh that today was truly a good day, with double happiness.

Not only was the longevity Gu formula livered, but even the materials needed to refine the blade Gu were instantly prepared.

That's right, he was in such a hurry to go back, not because he wanted to research any dragon blood battle Gu formula, but because he wanted to start refining his blade Gu now.

He had already completed the dragon blood battle Gu formula, but in order to appear normal, he decided to deliver the research results later.

Originally, he was prepared to delay the delivery of the research results for another five years in order to take more materials, but now that the Western Lands Long Clan was in an emergency, he decided to shorten the time to within two years.

It was still impossible to deliver now. The time was only five months, and it was too fake to research the dragon blood battle Gu formula in such a short time.

He decided to use this pile of spirit insects sent by the Western Lands Long Clan to refine the blade Gu now. Although the types of spirit insects collected at this time were not the most, he couldn't wait.

The spirit insects sent by the Western Lands Long Clan were only the types that could be collected in the Western Lands, and they were definitely not all in this world.

The Western Lands Long Clan could only collect hundreds of thousands of spirit insects in the Western Lands, but there were nearly millions of insect species that had not yet been extinct in the entire Gu World. The Western Lands Long Clan had no way to collect the unique insect species of various regions, and Long Xuan had no time to run to major regions.

So he decided to refine a hundred-thousand-level blade Gu and that was it, and he wouldn't pursue perfection. If he really wanted to pursue perfection, he could only go to the Spirit Realm. The remaining insect species in the Gu World were less than one-tenth of the Spirit Realm.

After returning to the mountain, Long Xuan found a basin terrain and prepared to refine Gu in this basin.

Saying it was a basin might be a bit exaggerated; it was just a natural huge depression.

His cultivation cave abode occupied too large an area, and finding such a terrain was not difficult.

He couldn't use a vessel to refine Gu this time. The number of hundreds of thousands of spirit insects was too massive, and there was no huge vessel that could accommodate such a number of spirit insects, so Long Xuan could only find a terrain with a huge depression to refine Gu.

He prepared to reinforce this place and keep the barrier on all day to avoid rain and variables, leading to the failure of Gu refining.

It was his first time refining a Gu formula with such a massive number of materials, and for a while, he was a bit flustered.

Finally, after completing all the preparations with the help of a group of clones, he ordered the clones to pour all the prepared spirit insects into the basin.

The number of spirit insects was about 530,000, and various spirit insects covered the basin, densely packed, making people's scalps numb.

With so many spirit insects fighting and devouring each other, the scene must be wonderful, exciting, and extremely tragic.

Long Xuan first used illusion to ingest all their consciousness into the illusion space to avoid them fighting first and losing his materials.

Some materials were endangered species, and he didn't have many in his hands, so he couldn't afford to lose them.

Afterward, he released the mantis that had grown ten arms. After Xiao Yue entered the basin and saw the countless spirit insects, it immediately realized that this was the transformation material prepared for it by its master.

It immediately became excited, its fighting spirit high, and without fear of the massive number of enemies, it waved the ten blades in its hands and rushed up confidently.

Long Xuan had been observing the progress of the Gu refining venue. His golden finger was based on the host's cognition, so the golden finger was enough to judge this place as a Gu refining vessel.

Seeing that there was no progress after Xiao Yue entered the basin, he hurriedly pulled Xiao Yue back.

Xiao Yue looked back at him curiously, and then rushed toward the basin again.

Then, very quickly, she was dragged back by Long Xuan. The two of them—one human and one insect—remained in a stalemate like this for who knows how long, until Long Xuan saw the progress appear on the Gu-refining site. Only then did he stop blocking Little Moon, allowing it to successfully charge into the insect swarm.

At the same time, Long Xuan also lifted the illusion cast on the insect swarm. After the major insect species recovered their consciousness, they instantly fought each other.

He didn't need to use the hunger Gu refining method at all. When they were bought, they had already been starved enough.

Moreover, many insect species were born to eat insects. Even without any means, they would actively kill the surrounding insect species.

Thus, the scene instantly became chaotic, and there was fighting and fighting everywhere in the basin.

For a while, a huge spider bit a centipede to death. For a while, a scorpion cut a snake into two sections, and for a while, a toad swallowed a beetle in one bite.

Among them, a silver mantis was the most valiant, waving the sickle in its hand, one per blade, and no insect could get close to it.

It had brought ten blades into the field. Who could beat it? Not long after, a pile of insect corpses had been left under its feet, and many insect corpses were in two halves.

Seeing it so valiant, more than ten powerful insect species had launched a siege on it. It was not afraid at all, cutting off the spider web with one blade, and cutting on the blade of another type of mantis with another blade. The two sides fought back and forth, fighting back and forth.

This was a great melee of hundreds of thousands of spirit insects. The battle was extremely fierce. Hundreds of thousands of spirit insects fought together and devoured each other. The scene was spectacular. Long Xuan was stunned, so much so that he stood there watching for a long time, and only left after he had feasted his eyes.
