Chapter 908: Sudden Mutation (1600-word supplement)

Time passed in a hurry.

Several months later, Aaron expressionlessly opened the bamboo basket, took out one of the poisonous scorpions, threw it into the Array, and fed it to the Golden Silkworm Gu.

This poisonous scorpion was black-purple all over, with a bead growing on its head that emitted a strange Light; it was clearly a very formidable poisonous creature.

Yet in front of the Golden Silkworm Gu, it was extremely cowering, not even daring to move.

The Golden Silkworm Gu shook its wings, which were as thin as a cicada's, and transformed into a stream of Light, arriving before this Poison Bead Scorpion, biting off the opponent's poison bead in one gulp and swallowing it.

The poisonous scorpion's tail drooped, and it died instantly.

But the Golden Silkworm Gu was already too lazy to continue eating the corpse; instead, Aaron saw an extremely anthropomorphic emotion on it, as if it had even spat a few times, like a picky child, or as if it were saying—"I, your father, disdain to eat such coarse food!"

Jin Daoren had his Disciple contribute Five Poisons creatures every day; one part was used to refine the Mysterious Female Pearl, and another part was used to feed the Golden Silkworm Gu.

Jin Daoren was sitting on a prayer mat, forming seals and chanting Incantations, transforming his own Dharma Power into strands of Incantation Forbidden Techniques to refine the Mysterious Female Pearl.

The Golden Silkworm Gu swallowed the scorpion bead, its aura of ferocity increasing by a notch, and with a flap of its wings, it seemed ready to charge the Array again.

This day.

After Aaron moved into Jin Daoren's Cave Abode, every day, besides watching the fire for the Cauldron, he took on the task of feeding the Golden Silkworm Gu.

Under the nose of an Evil Cultivator at the Condensing Sha realm, he did not dare to make the slightest unnecessary movement, just keeping his head down like this; every day, besides cultivation, he handled miscellaneous chores for Jin Daoren.

He glanced at his own Divine Attribute panel:

There was another aspect, which was to secretly attempt to domesticate the Golden Silkworm Gu using Gu Technique while feeding it!

Silently and without notice, the Array patterns for refining the Mysterious Female Pearl were slightly altered, though it did not affect the overall operation of the Array Formation.

Seeing Aaron, he did not even lift his eyelids: "Has the Golden Silkworm Gu been fed well?"

Aaron watched coldly from the sidelines, already clear about these matters, and took over watching the fire for the Cauldron from Jin Daoren.

……

Secretly tampering with the Array patterns was one aspect.

"Fortunately, I am not one to be slaughtered at will..."

"Reporting to Master, the feeding is complete."

Boom!

Therefore, every period of time, he had to sit in meditation for Qi Refining to recover his power.

Squeak, squeak!

Since he would have to show his hand to Jin Daoren sooner or later, Aaron naturally would not prepare only one method.

His power surged, refining the Mysterious Female Pearl's Forbidden Technique to the final moment, waiting only for the last step!

Boom!

"Very good!"

"During this time, using the excuse of finding food for the Golden Silkworm Gu, I have tempered the essence of the Five Poisons and refined the Five Poisons Needle... I will just wait for that day to come and see which of us can have the last laugh."

Jin Daoren laughed loudly, spitting out a mouthful of Sha, causing the flames to blaze fiercely and adding a layer of black.

Jin Daoren laughed heartily, then stood up: "You continue to watch the fire; this Master is going to sit in meditation and adjust his breath."

The crimson firelight shone on his cheeks; Aaron appeared focused, but in reality, he was secretly verifying Jin Daoren's Artifact Refining techniques against what he had learned before, while also observing the Array patterns on the ground.

"The Artifact Refining methods of this world are indeed very different from the Great Qian Cultivation World... but after observing for so long, I have finally managed to see a bit of the way."

"Sigh... if Wei Feiniang were still here, we could have cooperated... I really didn't want to kill her..."

"It is hard on you to be able to find so many precious poisonous creatures to feed this little beast."

Refining the Five Poisons Needle was one aspect.

As for how it was refined? Jin Daoren knew, but Xin Chen did not.

"But as for a disciple, if one dies, I can just take another..."

From the day Jin Daoren let Aaron watch the furnace fire, he was likely harboring this very intention!

Seeing this part finally completed, Aaron let out a breath in his heart while also sighing: "Three-pronged approach, but it is actually not very safe..."

Aaron immediately made a gesture in secret to soothe the Golden Silkworm Gu; the Golden Silkworm Gu stopped at the edge of the Array, appearing quite intelligent, much like a playful child.

"Although Jin Daoren did not teach me how to control the Golden Silkworm Gu, Xin Chen originally understood some insect-driving and Gu-refining techniques, plus my own experience... if I keep feeding the Golden Silkworm Gu, after consuming it for several years, it might even be possible to tame it!"

A wave of heat rushed toward his face; inside the stone room, red light flickered on all four sides, and in the middle was a Cauldron, with countless poisonous creatures floating and sinking within it; one could faintly see a bead inside, as large as an infant's fist, with countless five-colored clouds steaming within it, transforming into scorpions, centipedes, spirit snakes, and other Five Poisons creatures.

The Golden Silkworm Gu is the king of a hundred poisons!

Jin Daoren was, after all, only at the Condensing Sha realm, and the quality of his Sha was not great, so his Dharma Power was truly low; the consumption of refining the Mysterious Female Pearl exceeded his expectations.

"This Jin Daoren has ill intentions and likes to take shortcuts; for the final stage of refining the Mysterious Female Pearl, he is afraid he will have to blood-sacrifice a few young boys and girls, or perhaps his disciple Xin Chen, who is at the Innate realm..."

While thinking this, Aaron sat cross-legged, his Innate True Qi secretly moving beneath him, tampering with the Array patterns at the most minute level!

As an old schemer... no, as a person with a steady style.

Aaron felt a chill down his spine and secretly gripped the Five Poisons Needle hidden in his sleeve, but on his face, he feigned ignorance and said joyfully: "Congratulations to Master for refining the Mysterious Female Pearl and subduing the Golden Silkworm Gu; you are invincible in the world..."

Outside the Artifact Refining Cauldron, the firelight soared into the sky!

Jin Daoren looked at the Mysterious Female Pearl in the Cauldron with a face full of Greed, then glanced at his disciple Xin Chen, secretly feeling it a pity: "This disciple is truly useful... it is a pity to have him die, but since the Ancestor needs to refine the Mysterious Female Pearl, this final blood sacrifice is indispensable! It is too late to go and catch young boys and girls now..."

Thinking of this, the look he cast at his disciple carried a cold and vicious intent.

Jin Daoren completely sealed the Cave Abode, staying in the Artifact Refining room all day, and the joy on his face could not be hidden no matter what.

Aaron sighed and turned to enter the Artifact Refining room.

Xin Chen had already refined a mouthful of extremely pure Innate True Qi; if blood-sacrificed using Demonic Dao methods, the effect might be even better than young boys and girls!

"Unfortunately... he will not give me that time."

【Gu Technique (69/100)】

Even though Aaron did not understand the way of Artifact Refining, just by looking at Jin Daoren's expression, he knew the Mysterious Female Pearl was about to be refined.

He added a sentence to himself in his heart: "And then I, the enemy from outside the heavens, arrived!"

Aaron bowed and replied.

"The Golden Silkworm Gu devours ordinary cultivators with ease and is best at breaking through the Qi of Gang and Sha! If I were to control the Golden Silkworm Gu, Jin Daoren would surely die without a burial place!"

Suddenly, at this critical moment, the entire hilltop shook!

Not only Jin Daoren, but even Aaron frowned deeply.

He was just waiting to have a showdown with Jin Daoren, and he considered his chances of finishing the other off to be very high; he was the last person who wanted to see variables appear.

But the next moment, the gate of the Cave Abode shattered with a boom, and a Sword Light shimmering with golden Light rushed in, revealing a person within who laughed: "You surnamed Jin, your doom has arrived!"
