Chapter 261 – The Valley of the Worms
Chapter 261 – The Valley of Worms
“True Elder Brother asked me to help raise insects?”
Lu Xuan asked in surprise.
“That’s right.” Ge Park nodded.
“Senior Brother Ge please also come inside and have a chat, there is personally brewed Spirit Syrup in Senior Brother’s cave, in addition there are also freshly ripened Spirit Fruits, please have a taste or two.”
It wasn’t a solution to have the hallowed True Transmission Senior Brother standing outside all the time, Lu Xuan hurriedly invited Ge Park to enter the mountain peak.
Arriving in his own courtyard, he poured out a cup of richly scented Hundred Fruit Spiritual Syrup from the Drunken Immortal Gourd, and brought out a plate of cut Flame Fruit and Ice Luo Fruit.
“Not bad, the spirit fruits are of excellent quality, fresh and fragrant, the flavor of the spirit syrup is even more varied, yet layered, Master Lu is quite good at enjoying himself.”
Ge Park carefully experienced the wonders of the Hundred Fruit Spiritual Syrup, a trace of admiration surfaced on his face.
“When I cultivate spiritual plants on weekdays, I like to drum up these things to satiate my appetite, it’s good that senior brother likes it.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile as he filled another cup of spirit syrup for Ge Park.
“By the way, Senior Brother Ge, what was that you just said about someone inviting me to come and cultivate insects?”
“That person is a close friend of mine in the sect, named Seed Jing Shan, who has a unique talent in the insect-raising method, and is likewise a true disciple of the sect.”
“Recently, he has something to go out, it will take about half a year, but he is raising quite a few high grade strange insects in the sect, and several of them even need to be taken care of often.”
“If it’s just ordinary bugs and insects, it’s just a matter of handing them over to the sect’s outer disciples to take care of and cultivate, and there’s nothing wrong with first, second, and even third-grade odd insects.”
“But he has a pair of special exotic insects of the fourth grade, had to stay in the cave, there are also several third and fourth grade exotic insects, handed over to the care of qi cultivators, I’m afraid of business.”
“So I pushed you, Senior Brother Lu, to him… Senior Brother, you were able to help me solve the reproduction problem of that Ancient Yin-Yang Kun Fish, and dissolved the dying obsession of that Qing Xuan Deer, so I’m sure that there’s no problem in looking after and caring for some of the strange insects.”
“When Senior Seed Brother returns, I will naturally give Senior Lu Brother your satisfactory remuneration.”
Lu Xuan bowed his head in deep thought.
He had a lot of confidence in raising and caring for the foreign insects, as long as he fed them something, he would be able to understand their preferences, needs, idiosyncrasies, and so on.
Not to mention the reward, the more important thing was to be able to make friends with a true disciple.
A large Heavenly Sword Sect, there are only seventeen true disciples, each of whom can be called a JieDan reserve, and can make friends with them, naturally, will be of great benefit.
Before resolving the problem of Qing Xuan Deer’s obsession, if not Ge Park recommended in front of the two JieDan real people, by virtue of his cultivation in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, it is difficult to enter the JieDan real people’s line of sight, and will not be able to get that wonderful green wood source gas.
“Good, thanks to Ge for mentioning it, senior brother I’ll go and try it.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
The two of them didn’t make much of a stop as a black and white Taiji pattern appeared behind Ge Park’s head, rotating and increasing in size.
Lu Xuan only felt a blackness in front of his eyes, entering a chaotic world as streams of various colors swept by in front of him, and in an instant, he appeared on a wide valley.
He stabilized his stance and gained an initial understanding of the strength of a True Disciple.
“This is an insect valley that Senior Seed Brother specially built in order to keep strange insects, the terrain inside is complicated and arranged with various formations, suitable for many varieties of strange insects and beasts to flourish.”
Ge Park said faintly beside him.
Lu Xuan overlooked the Insect Valley, and as far as the eye could see, one could see jungles, deserts, swamps, and other terrains.
In the jungle, there were many strange shaped trees growing, and from time to time, there were all sorts of strange hissing noises, and his spiritual sense was able to roughly sense that there were a large number of strange insects and bugs hibernating inside.
The desert is red, the ground surface has a large and small many pits, scorched black smoke rising out of it, distributed around the hillock, from a distance looks like a bug egg.
Swamp covered with rotten trees, branches and leaves, from time to time bulging miserable green blisters, can be seen inside the hidden unknown how many poisonous insects.
While sizing it up, a black light swept in rapidly, and a young cultivator stopped in front of Lu Xuan and the two of them. The cultivator’s expression was mute, his lips pursed tightly, and he looked somewhat inept at speech.
His body robes attracted Lu Xuan’s attention, deep black robes woven by countless black threads, a closer look, the black threads are actually a slender black worm, draped over the body without wind, vaguely transmitting a three-point evil.
“Senior Brother Ge.”
The black-robed youth greeted Ge Park, and with a few probing eyes, he looked at Lu Xuan.
“Senior Brother Seed, this is the Senior Brother Lu Xuan that I mentioned to you, who has extremely deep attainments in the Spiritual Plants and Spiritual Beasts course.”
“Senior Brother Lu, this is Seed Jing Shan, you can address him as Senior Brother Seed.”
“Good day, Senior Brother Seed.” Lu Xuan bowed his head and saluted.
“Good.” The black-robed youth replied in a small voice, returning the salute.
The two were led by him to a mountain peak in the Insect Valley.
There were a few stone houses situated on the peak, simply constructed, and it could be seen that this Seed Master didn’t care too much about external objects.
There were various insect chirps coming from a few of the stone houses, sharp and ear-piercing.
“Most of those stone houses are insect chambers constructed by Senior Brother Seed, keeping all kinds of strange insects, Senior Brother Lu can familiarize himself with them first.”
Ge Park saw Lu Xuan observing the stone houses and transmitted his voice to him.
The three of them arrived at the place where the black-robed youths usually stayed.
Seed Jing Shan handed Lu Xuan a cup of flowery honey, which was golden yellow in color, and the sticky liquid constantly changed into various flowers.
“This is the Hundred Flower Spiritual Honey, it is the Hundred Flower Bee that collects the spiritual liquid from many spiritual plants and flowers, and then brews it with special means, it tastes sweet and delicious, and it can also add a little bit of spiritual power.”
Ge Park extremely understood the black-robed youth’s temperament and took the initiative to introduce Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan drank a mouthful of it, and immediately, a refreshing aroma filled his mouth and flowed through his limbs, as if the whole person was deeply immersed in a sea of flowers.
Wisps of spiritual energy were quietly generated between the flow of the fragrance, seeping into Lu Xuan’s dantian.
“Extraordinary indeed.”
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but marvel.
The corners of the black-robed youth’s mouth tugged up, seemingly revealing a hint of a smile.
“Senior Seed Brother, I’ve brought the person over for you, so if there’s anything you need to instruct and pay attention to, talk to Senior Lu yourself.”
Seed Jingshan nodded, and a piece of talisman paper floated in front of Lu Xuan, the talisman paper had densely packed fly-head characters on it.
Lu Xuan took the talisman paper and scanned through it.
The talisman paper recorded a lot of information about the strange insects, their habits, feeding methods, precautions, and so on, as well as every aspect of what he needed to do.
In addition, there was also a simple control method for the formations in the Insect Valley and the Insect Chamber, as well as some crude techniques for harnessing the insects.
Lu Xuan had previously obtained a step of the Bug Scripture from a cultivator when he was solving the problem of insect pests in the Water Ze Spirit Peach, but what was recorded inside were some low-grade bugs and insects, and the total value was not comparable to the black-robed young man’s handful of spells.
Based on this talisman paper alone, Lu Xuan felt that it was not a wasted trip.
When he had firmly memorized the information on the top of the talisman paper, the black-robed youth’s fingers twitched, and a thing shaped like a suona flew in front of Lu Xuan.
