Changsheng Xiuxian: I can see through everything

Chapter 108: Collaborative Insect Breeding (Please subscribe to the latest update)

"We want to cooperate with Elder Chen to cultivate strange insects!"

The head of the Xiao family revealed his intention.

"I'm sorry, I only know the basics of insect control, but I can't cultivate rare insects."

Chen Xuan refused without thinking.

His insect-controlling skills all rely on the magical effect of the Insect King Divine Wood Cauldron.

There are countless people in the Five Poison Sect who have inherited the insect-controlling technique like the original body's mother.

Not to mention that the Xiao family has an elder in the Five Poison Sect, even ordinary cultivators who are willing to spend spirit stones can easily join.

The Five Poison Sect has no restrictions on the spread of insect-controlling techniques during the Qi training period.

"Elder Chen is too modest. Don't you want to hear our family's conditions for cooperation?"

"No, thank you, Patriarch Xiao, for your hospitality. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Chen Xuan stood up and was about to leave.

"Wait a moment, Elder Chen!"

The Xiao family head sighed softly and said to Xiao Yuyao: "Go and invite the ancestor!"

The ancestor of the Xiao family?

Chen Xuan was slightly stunned.

It soon became clear that the ancestor that Patriarch Xiao was referring to was Elder Xiao Zhengji of the Five Poison Sect.

Chen Xuan still had to consider the face of the Five Poison Sect elder.

Not long after, the door of the teahouse box opened and two foundation-building masters came in.

The one walking in front was Qiao Dahua, the head of the market town.

The man behind is dressed in black, tall and thin, and must be Xiao Zhengji.

Sure enough, Qiao Dahua introduced them to the two of them.

"You two haven't met them yet, I guess. This is Elder Xiao Zhengji, and this is Deacon Jinyang and our sect's guest elder, Chen Xuan."

Chen Xuan saluted towards Xiao Zhengji.

Xiao Zhengji leaned sideways and half-saluted, then returned the salute.

"Elder Chen, if you can help with the Xiao family's affairs, please do so!"

Chen Xuan didn't reply to Qiao Dahua, but looked at Xiao Zhengji.

As expected of a poison cultivator, no insects or ants could survive around him as they were all poisoned to death.

Even the breath was filled with a strong poisonous smell, and no one wanted to get close.

"Chen Xuan, if you help my Xiao family this time, I, Xiao Zhengji, will do you a favor and help you once in the future!"

Xiao Zhengji did not speak, but communicated with Chen Xuan directly using his spiritual thoughts.

The move made by the foundation-building master is quite interesting.

Since the two foundation-building masters, Xiao Zhengji and Qiao Dahua, are here in person, we have to show them some mercy no matter what.

"Where does Patriarch Xiao want to cultivate strange insects?"

Seeing Chen Xuan give in, the head of the Xiao family was overjoyed.

It turned out that after the Xiao family moved to the Wandu Mountains, they had no property and were living off their resources.

The Wandu Mountains are a very poor place, lacking everything except strange insects.

It is definitely not possible for three hundred monks to not engage in production.

After discussing with Xiao Zhengji, the head of the Xiao family decided to take out the savings of the entire family, and add Xiao Zhengji's wealth to purchase a nearby Jinxiu Peak from the sect as the family foundation.

Jinxiu Peak, located three hundred miles north of Honghefang City, has a small spiritual vein.

Everyone took Qiao Dahua's flying boat and arrived at Jinxiu Peak.

The head of the Xiao family pointed to the areas along the way and introduced them one by one.

"The land in this valley is fertile, with spiritual veins branching out, and hundreds of acres of spiritual fields can be cultivated."

"This plain also has spiritual vein branches that can be dug into spiritual lakes to breed spiritual fish."

"There's a small copper mine at the foot of this mountain. Although the reserves aren't huge, it can still sell for some spirit stones."

"This is our Xiao family's martial arts training ground, where we train our young men to go hunting in the mountains."

I have to say that the head of the Xiao family is quite business-minded.

The purchase of Mianxiu Peak from the Five Poison Sect was a well-considered decision.

If the Xiao family manages these spiritual fields, spiritual lakes, mines, and the family's demon hunting team well, they can still gain a foothold in the Myriad Poison Mountains. "However, these can only cover expenses. If the Xiao family wants to develop, we still need Elder Chen's care."

The head of the Xiao family brought everyone to the westernmost part of Jinxiu Peak.

This place is behind the mountain, it is cool and humid, and it is a place where strange insects are easily bred.

What surprised Chen Xuan was that the demonic aura in this place was particularly strong, almost like the depths of the Shadow Forest.

Thanks to the unique terrain, many exotic flowers and plants that love shade and moisture grow here, which are extremely lush and home to many insects that cannot be named.

Of course, most of them have not yet advanced into demonic insects and are still at the stage of ordinary wild insects, but this cannot conceal the strong demonic aura of this place.

Looking at the demonic valley in front of him, Chen Xuan couldn't help but nodded.

This place is indeed an excellent place to cultivate rare insects.

Several kinds of strange insects suitable for cultivation here even flashed through his mind.

The head of the Xiao family carefully observed Chen Xuan's expression.

"Elder Chen, what do you think of this place?"

“It is indeed a good place to cultivate exotic insects.”

But then, Chen Xuan became confused again.

"Elder Xiao is here, why bother going far away?"

As an elder of the Five Poison Sect, cultivating strange insects is the sect's specialty.

"Elder Chen doesn't know something!"

Qiao Dahua explained with a smile.

It turned out that most of the thirteen foundation-building cultivators in the Five Poison Sect were poison cultivators, and only one was an insect cultivator.

However, that insect cultivator happened to be a female cultivator with a strange temperament. She was always cold and would never accept disciples.

The majority of the insects bred by the Five Poison Sect are consumable poisonous insects provided to poison practitioners, and there are very few poisonous insects that are used in combat like Chen Xuan.

The Wandu Mountains are rich in poisonous insects, and the ones that can be sold at a high price are the strange insects that can be controlled and used in combat.

"Elder Chen is a genius in insect control! He has many rare insects under his command! Elder Xiao is a kind man. If Elder Chen cooperates with him, it will definitely be a win-win situation!"

Xiao Zhengji is not good at speaking, so Qiao Dahua helps him to take the photo.

"Elder Xiao, Elder Qiao, Chen Xuan is cultivating on the sect's territory. Thank you for your care. I understand."

"However, this matter is of great importance. I need to go back and think about it carefully."

"At the very least, the spiritual contract should clearly state which species of rare insects to cultivate, how to successfully cultivate them, and how the profits will be divided after they are sold."

Seeing that Chen Xuan's tone was softened, Qiao Dahua said with a smile, "As you should! Elder Xiao, what do you think?"

"Can!"

Xiao Zhengji's answer was only one word.

After returning to Honghefang Market, Chen Xuan went home first.

After seeing the specific terrain, he was also tempted.

Like the Xiao family, he was a little anxious if he only relied on making talismans if he stopped going out hunting.

The right thing to do is to earn more spirit stones and sect contribution points while the environment is still good, purchase as many poisonous insect corpses as possible, and store more insect spirit essence.

Once the situation becomes chaotic, it will be difficult to guarantee the large-scale purchase of poisonous insect corpses.

Live poisonous insects are too expensive and not cost-effective at all.

Like the Xu family of Wanshouling, the ten-year poisonous insect supply contract was broken just like that, and he couldn't blame the Xu family.

Now that the Xiao family has come to him and there is a base with strong demonic energy, cooperating in breeding insects is exactly what he wants.

If he cultivates the exotic insects for sale on his own, it will be tedious and take up a lot of energy, affecting his practice, which would be disadvantageous.

It's strange to say, the Jinxiu Peak is unremarkable, but the area below the West Peak is awe-inspiring and filled with a strong demonic aura. Could there be some rare treasures in there?
But the thought of Xiao Zhengji, who was skilled in poison, extinguished his nascent desire to rob tombs.

He really didn't want to provoke a Foundation Establishment Poison Cultivator, and he really couldn't afford to provoke one.

Cooperation brings win-win.

But winning depends on how much you win.

Only by making the cake bigger can you be qualified to share it.

Soon, Chen Xuan devoted his attention to the planning of cooperative insect breeding.

As the chief technical director, he is the key to the Xiao family's success in breeding exotic insects. However, he only takes 30% of the sales, which is not much.

As Chen Xuan thought this, a simple cooperative insect breeding plan took shape.
