342. Chapter 342: Upgrading the Calamity Poison Gu

Long Xuan was, of course, not interested in his invitation.

This Master Wei had no character at all; how could he dare to form a team with such a person?

And this kind of matter should be to find Spirit Sea peak cultivators, not him, a small Spirit Sea early-stage Gu cultivator.

A King-Breaking Pill could also invite a Spirit Sea peak Gu cultivator, which would be more cost-effective; why insist on inviting him, a Spirit Sea early-stage Gu cultivator?

The purpose of this Master Wei finding him first made him suspicious; Long Xuan seriously suspected that Master Wei's motive for inviting him to hunt spirit beasts might not be pure.

So he didn't even think about it and directly refused: "No, I am timid by nature; a King-Breaking Pill is not worth me risking my life."

"If there is nothing else, Master Wei, please return."

Upon hearing this, Master Wei's expression stiffened; he never expected that Song Qian would actually dare to refuse him and could really resist the temptation of a King-Breaking Pill.

However, this made his suspicion even heavier.

How could there be a Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivator not interested in a King-Breaking Pill? Could it be that Song Qian really noticed something in his pills?

Ever since he knew that Song Qian did not eat that Foundation Consolidating Pill with bugs, he had been suspecting that this Song Qian had already discovered his secret.

Especially since Song Qian had clearly made a fortune later but never came to his shop to buy pills, which made his suspicion heavier and heavier.

How could there be a reason to seek far for pills instead of near? If he didn't buy his pills, he must have discovered something, which made Master Wei restless.

So he decided to invite Song Qian to hunt the fourth-rank spirit beast and take this opportunity to secretly get rid of him.

Regardless of whether Song Qian discovered his secret, he decided at this time that he would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully while letting his imagination run wild all day.

Therefore, how could Master Wei easily give up at this time? He hurriedly added: "I forgot to tell you, there are Great Dragon Fish near the fourth-rank spirit beast's nest, and there is even a third-rank Great Dragon Fish King."

"Haven't you been looking for a third-rank Great Dragon Fish King?"

"I need to find more than ten Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivators to help me hunt the fourth-rank spirit beast; I can completely let this group of people catch the Great Dragon Fish King for you by the way."

"You also know that that thing lives in the water and is not easy to catch. If I don't take action, you might have to wait for a long time to collect a Great Dragon Fish King."

Upon hearing this, Long Xuan's expression paused.

The materials needed for the second transformation of the Dragon Gu are deer antlers, camel head, rabbit eyes, snake neck, mirage belly, carp scales, eagle claws, tiger palms, and cow ears.

Moreover, these beast materials must be taken from the beast kings of third-rank spirit beasts, and there are extremely high requirements for the breeds, making them extremely difficult to collect.

He had been running the shop for a year and finally collected eight types of materials, only missing the fish scales of a third-rank Great Dragon Fish King.

And as long as these Great Dragon Fish scales are in hand, he can immediately make the Dragon Gu complete its transformation.

These Great Dragon Fish scales are really one of the few things that can tempt him.

Long Xuan's heart sank; this Master Wei went to great lengths to take him to hunt the fourth-rank spirit beast. How could he not see that this Master Wei was probably already suspecting that he knew his secret and wanted to get rid of him quickly?

As a result, murderous intent immediately arose in Long Xuan's heart.

There is only the reason of being a thief for a thousand days, not the reason of guarding against a thief for a thousand days.

Since this Master Wei has already developed murderous intent toward him, he doesn't want to guard against it every day.

There will always be omissions in guarding against everything; the best way to guard is to kill this Master Wei and be done with it.

Since that's the case, he really has to accompany this Master Wei on a trip, but who will die outside in the end is really uncertain, Long Xuan sneered in his heart.

"Alright! Since you have the whereabouts of the Great Dragon Fish, I will accompany you on a trip. When are we leaving?" Long Xuan asked.

Hearing that this person took the bait, Master Wei was secretly happy and said calmly: "We will leave on the morning of seven days later; you should arrange the affairs in the shop in advance."

After speaking, Master Wei, as if afraid that he would go back on his word, immediately turned and left.

After watching Master Wei leave, Long Xuan closed the shop door, then walked into the space inside the Heaven-Devouring World Toad, and found the Earth Mover Beetle that was sleeping soundly.

At this time, the size of this Earth Mover Beetle had grown quite a bit, and Long Xuan could only look up at it.

Large volume means eating more things, and it is fortunate that Long Xuan changed its diet to eating soil, otherwise, he would have been eaten poor by this big guy.

However, the larger the volume of the Earth Mover Beetle, the more transformation materials it eats during transformation; as its volume continues to grow, there will be times when he will have to spend money in the future.

Long Xuan sighed secretly; this is also to blame on him. The volume and strength of the Earth Mover Beetle are proportional. In order to improve the strength of the Earth Mover Beetle, he could only mindlessly increase its volume at that time.

Extremes meet; there is also a bad side to the Earth Mover Beetle's volume being too huge.

Not to mention eating, the larger the volume of the Earth Mover Beetle, the larger the insect armor needed, the more expensive materials consumed to make the insect armor, and the more materials needed to be consumed during transformation.

The Earth Mover Beetle was the most cost-effective Gu worm at the beginning, but as its volume continued to grow, the further it went, the less cost-effective it became.

At this time, Long Xuan could only bear the evil consequences he planted himself.

He quickly poured dozens of bags of silver soil on the ground, leaving only one bag.

He sighed secretly in his heart, wondering if dozens of bags of silver soil could make the Earth Mover Beetle successfully transform.

If not, he could only crack the silver soil formula or create another top-grade spirit soil, which would inevitably waste him a lot of time.

When Long Xuan poured a large amount of silver soil on the ground, a small silver hill soon appeared on the field.

At this time, the Earth Mover Beetle, which was sleeping soundly, moved its nose, suddenly opened its eyes, and after seeing the pile of silver soil in front of it, its eyes suddenly lit up, and then it propped up its hill-like body and ran over quickly.

Dozens of bags of silver soil, piled together like a small hill, yet so much silver soil was actually eaten up by this Earth Mover Beetle in two or three bites.

Long Xuan clicked his tongue; it can eat so much. If it is allowed to grow further, who knows how much top-grade spirit soil it will need to transform later.

But seeing that the Earth Mover Beetle slowly fell into a deep sleep shortly after eating the silver soil, Long Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

Deep sleep is good; after deep sleep, it means it is transforming. After waking up, if there are no accidents, it can transform into a strange Gu.

Since the transformation of the Earth Mover Beetle is a foregone conclusion and the Dragon Gu will soon be able to transform, Long Xuan is now preparing to upgrade the next Gu worm.

He quickly set his sights on the Calamity Poison Gu, which was also sleeping lazily on the other side.

At this time, this green toad was lying in the medicine garden planted with poisonous flowers and poisonous grass, sleeping soundly, and in its dreams, it was still sucking the poisonous mist in the air in large gulps, like a drug addict.

The growth process of the Calamity Poison Gu requires collecting all kinds of poisons in the world. In the year he opened the shop, he collected a lot of rare poisons for this, spending a lot of money.

There are so many strange poisons in the world; this Calamity Poison Gu is simply a bottomless pit, much more expensive than the Earth Mover Beetle.

Having spent so much on it, Long Xuan decided not to let it be idle either.

He had already planned how the Calamity Poison Gu would complete its second transformation, which was to research the polonium from his past life.

Polonium is definitely the most poisonous substance in his past life; 0.1 grams can kill 100 billion people. The Calamity Poison Gu completes its transformation by swallowing the most poisonous poisons, and the toxicity of polonium can definitely meet its requirements.

Before manufacturing plutonium, Long Xuan had already accumulated experience. With the help of the Heavenly Mechanism Eye's ability and the assistance of several Gu worms, and doing heavy protection, it is not difficult for him to manufacture polonium.

The most important thing is that he doesn't need to search the world for materials. Among all the Gu worms that have not yet transformed, upgrading the Calamity Poison Gu is undoubtedly the most convenient and takes the shortest time.

So seven days later, looking at the Calamity Poison Gu that had been completely poisoned into a coma, Long Xuan fell into deep thought.

It was actually poisoned into a coma again; a dignified Calamity Poison Gu, possessing a poison-immune constitution, was actually poisoned into a coma, which is simply a strange story.

"Sigh!" Long Xuan sighed lightly; this kind of thing had happened more than once. When he fed it plutonium before, it was also this situation, and it was in a coma for a long time before waking up.

Given the previous case, Long Xuan felt that as long as the Calamity Poison Gu completely digests the polonium in its body, it will wake up and be able to complete the transformation. He doesn't need to worry and just needs to wait patiently.

So Long Xuan left this Calamity Poison Gu here and ignored it, with no worried expression on his face.

After coming out of the space inside the Heaven-Devouring World Toad, Long Xuan walked out of the Insect Armor Shop and walked toward the direction outside the city.

Today is the day to meet with Master Wei and others; he not only wants to find the Great Dragon Fish but also take this opportunity to completely solve the trouble of Master Wei.

He doesn't like having a poisonous snake staring at him every day.

Accustomed to being relieved, Long Xuan placed a wisp of split soul on his clone, let the clone walk out of the city first to meet with that group of people, while he himself, the main body, followed far behind them.

The Heavenly Mechanism Eye can see very, very far; following Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivators without being discovered is definitely not a difficult task.

No matter what conspiracy Master Wei uses, as long as his main body is not in the trap, all his conspiracies and tricks will go bankrupt.

Long Xuan's mouth curled up; the enemy is in the light, he is in the dark, and this Master Wei will only be tricked to death by him.

After a while, Long Xuan walked into a small forest north of the city and finally saw the more than ten teammates of this trip.

At this time, there were eleven people in the field besides him, either sitting on tree branches or sitting on stones.

Among these eleven people, ten were at the Spirit Sea peak realm.

The remaining one was at the Spirit Sea mid-stage realm, which was Master Wei, the initiator of this mission.

This last person was himself, a Spirit Sea early-stage Gu cultivator, who had the lowest realm in the team.

There was only one female Gu cultivator in the team, and she was his old acquaintance, none other than the madam brothel Yue Niang, at the Spirit Sea peak realm.

The others were also more or less familiar, even if they were not deep acquaintances, they had dealt with each other.

After all, he had been running a shop in the city for a year and had come into contact with all kinds of people.

The circle of Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivators is only so big; as time goes by, basically everyone knows each other.

There were even five people here who had bought insect armor from him, so they were old acquaintances.

These five people were biological brothers who had once gone to his shop together to buy a set of Five Elements Insect Armor that could be combined together.

Outsiders call them the Mei Mountain Five Ghosts; separately, they are Mei Lao Da, Mei Second, Mei Third, Mei Lao Si, and Mei Lao Wu.

These five people cooperate extremely tacitly and can easily fight across levels.

Therefore, they bought a set of Five Elements combination insect armor in his insect armor shop.

These five insect armors are all limited editions; the power of taking them out individually is already amazing. Once the five types of attribute insect armors are gathered together, they can be connected to each other to form a large array, and the power will be multiplied several times, enough to injure enemies across levels.

After the Mei Mountain Five Ghosts traded five sets of beast king materials for this set of Five Elements insect armor, their strength immediately increased greatly, and their fame in the City of Sin area became even greater.

Long Xuan never expected that Master Wei would have the energy to invite the Mei Mountain Five Ghosts. These five people belong to the batch with the most outstanding combat power among all Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivators in the City of Sin, and they have considerable family wealth and are definitely not so easy to invite.

As soon as Long Xuan arrived on the scene, sharp gazes immediately looked over. Upon discovering that he was Master Song, who was very famous in the city, they immediately showed kind smiles and greeted him one after another.

Especially the Mei Mountain Five Ghosts, who bought the Five Elements insect armor from him, greeted him kindly after seeing him.

No one looked down on him because his realm was the lowest; who can guarantee that they won't be short of insect armor in the future?

Master Song is recognized as the number one insect armor master in the whole city and has a very high status in the circle. Facing such a person, most people will only curry favor and will not easily offend him.

"It seems I'm late; I'm really sorry, have I kept you all waiting for a long time?" Long Xuan pretended to be apologetic and walked slowly toward this group of people.

"Not late, you just arrived on time." Yue Niang spoke first, then turned to look at Master Wei and asked: "The time has arrived, and there are now a total of twelve people present."

"Among these twelve people, only ten are at the Spirit Sea peak. Are you sure that our manpower can take down that fourth-rank spirit beast?"

"Our number of people is really too small; even if we can successfully kill that fourth-rank spirit beast in the end, it will inevitably be a heavy casualty." Yue Niang frowned and said.

"You can put a hundred hearts at ease; the number of people is absolutely enough!" Master Wei smiled: "I am also in this mission; how could I risk my own life."

"To tell you the truth, I have a set of powerful array disks. As long as the layout is successful, it is enough to trap that fourth-rank spirit beast and weaken its combat power by 90%."

"A fourth-rank spirit beast with only 10% of its combat power left is enough to be easily solved by our group of people; you can completely rest assured."

At this time, Master Wei sneered in his heart; he also knew that there would be casualties if there were fewer people, and if there were more people, he could crush the fourth-rank spirit beast with strength and solve it without injury.

But the more people he invited, the more he would spend, and he is not a fool.

Although there will be deaths and injuries if there are fewer people, what does it have to do with him? If others die, they die; it's better if they die, so he can save the King-Breaking Pill.

Hearing Master Wei's explanation, the suspicion on everyone's faces lessened a lot.

That's right, Master Wei is also participating in this mission; he couldn't possibly send himself to death.

Since he dares to take risks himself, it means he is very confident in his array disk, and this array disk can really trap the fourth-rank spirit beast and weaken its power by 90%.

At this time, everyone showed a different color; what kind of array disk is it that can be so terrifying?

Driven by the power of Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivators, this array disk can actually pose a fatal threat to a fourth-rank spirit beast; this array disk must be worth a fortune, and I don't know where this Master Wei obtained it. (End of chapter)
