Changsheng Xiuxian: I can see through everything

Chapter 21 Jade-faced Queen Bee (Please Read)

"You robbed the Chang brothers?"

Seeing the two swords and other three mid-grade magic weapons, Yu Qingsong blurted out.

"So easy to spot? Then is it hard to get rid of it?"

Chen Xuan was a little depressed.

"No. I'll help you get rid of it with a 20% commission. I guarantee you'll be fine."

"it is good."

Yu Qingsong put away his magical tool and couldn't help asking, "I heard that a direct descendant of the Sima family is missing. Is it related to you?"

"It's ok!"

Chen Xuan said firmly.

Sima Yan was killed by Xu Jiali and had nothing to do with him.

"Indeed, he's the direct descendant of the Sima family. Young masters from aristocratic families always have some hidden tricks up their sleeves to protect their family."

"Yeah, what can we, casual cultivators, do in front of a young master from an aristocratic family?"

Chen Xuan sighed.

This is also the reason why Xu Jiali acted so ruthlessly.

He didn't listen to Sima Yan's explanation at all.

When monks fight, it is impossible to show mercy.

You never know what other tricks the other party has up their sleeves.

Even a lion or tiger needs to use all its strength to fight a rabbit.

That night, even if he didn't take action, Sima Yan and others would not be able to do anything to Xu Jiali.

A rich girl like Xu Jiali couldn't possibly not have a backup plan.

The sword talisman is just one of them.

"Is the Sima family very powerful?"

"Two foundation-building masters from the same sect, it depends on who you're competing with."

Yu Qingsong sneered and said, "Compared to the lower-level independent cultivators, it's heaven. Compared to the Xu family, it's nothing."

"The Xu family is a famous family of the Jinyang Sect, with Master Fake Dan in charge!"

After hearing this, Chen Xuan finally felt relieved.

"However, the Sima family occupies Luoyang Ridge and is the local tyrant here, so you'd better be careful!"

My heart, which had just been relieved, was hanging again.

……

A man cannot live without money for a day!
Hanging a storage bag with eighteen spirit stones in it, Chen Xuan walked on the street with a much more imposing aura.

In the Jinyang Sect’s directly-operated store.

"The Beginning of the Explanation of Talismans", "The Secret of the Green Spirit Sword", a talisman pen, a bottle of cinnabar, and three dozen talisman papers.

"Thank you for your patronage. Seventeen Spiritual Stones."

The waitress's voice was as sweet as a bell.

I don’t know how beautiful a professional smile is.

Chen Xuan readily took out spirit stones to pay the bill.

Two jade slips of cultivation techniques, each worth seven spirit stones. Talisman pen, cinnabar, and talisman paper, each worth one spirit stone.

When money is used, you will regret it!
Walking out of the store, Chen Xuan sighed.

Fortunately, there is still some income from Taoist Master Yu Qingsong.

Otherwise, we won’t be able to live like this.

……

West Outer City Market.

Chen Xuan followed the example of other cultivators and set up a stall to sell shadow-winged poisonous insects.

There is no way, the sect shops are too harsh in lowering prices.

A shadow-winged poisonous insect was only willing to pay the price of one spirit stone.

This is a first-level demon insect with invisibility skills. Even if it is of low quality, the market price should be two to three spirit stones.

In order to sell at a high price, Chen Xuan specially gave some insect spirit essence to these shadow-winged poisonous insects.

"Shadow-winged poisonous insect, three spirit stones for one."

After setting up the stall, Chen Xuan took up the "Qingling Sword Technique" and began to read it carefully.

After an incense stick of time, two young monks, a man and a woman, stopped in front of Chen Xuan's stall.

The male monk carefully examined the shadow-winged poisonous insect and asked in a low voice.

"Shadow-winged poisonous insect? How many spirit stones are there for one?"

"Three spirit stones for one." Chen Xuan pointed to the plaque in front of the stall.

"It's too expensive!" the female cultivator whispered from behind.

"Others only sell three for two spirit stones!"

"Not expensive!" Chen Xuan said calmly, "My Shadow Wing Poisonous Insect is better than theirs."

If a low-grade demon insect can be promoted to a medium-grade one, its price will at least increase tenfold.

Chen Xuan currently has little insect essence left and is unwilling to cultivate this kind of social demon insect, so he's selling it. "Really? They all say their products are good, but who knows?" the female cultivator said disapprovingly.

Chen Xuan no longer responded.

For things like this, the more you say, the more mistakes you make, so it’s better not to say anything.

The male cultivator took over the conversation: "Friend, I really want to buy it, give me a fair price!"

"How much to buy?"

"how much do you have?"

"Thirteen."

"I want them all!"

Chen Xuan looked up at the male cultivator.

"Thirty spirit stones."

"Is that so? I only have twenty spirit stones on me. Can I use this to exchange for ten spirit stones?"

The male cultivator took out a jade-faced queen bee larva.

Chen Xuan was speechless.

"Brother, you're worth ten of my spirit stones for the same low-grade demon insect! Don't you think that's a bit much?"

The male cultivator stammered, "Fellow Daoist, this is the Jade-faced Queen Bee. Once successfully cultivated, it will be very profitable!"

"How profitable is it? If you want to successfully cultivate a bee, you have to constantly feed it royal jelly. Do you know how expensive royal jelly is? After you manage to pupate and mature, you still have to find wild bees to mate with, and you'll easily die."

"Even if mating is successful, they still need to be placed in a spiritual garden. They need a sufficient source of spiritual nectar and a dedicated beekeeper to care for them day and night in order to develop a full spiritual bee colony."

"Don't even mention a casual cultivator like me. Even a cultivator family without a foundation-building cultivator can't afford to support a colony of spirit bees. How could you be worth ten of my spirit stones?"

The male cultivator felt a little embarrassed by what Chen Xuan said.

The female cultivator argued, "Don't be ignorant! After the Jade-faced Queen Bee is promoted to the second stage, it will be priceless, worth at least 500 spirit stones!"

"Then cultivate to the second level first and then come to me!" Chen Xuan retorted bluntly.

A second-level demon insect is equivalent to a foundation-building cultivator.

If he had a second-level demon insect, could he set up a stall in the West Outer City market?
"Fellow Daoist, listen to me. This Jade-Faced Queen Bee is truly extraordinary. If it weren't for the exorbitant cost of breeding, I really wouldn't be willing to exchange it for something."

The male cultivator looked heartbroken as he handed the insect bag containing the Jade-faced Queen Bee to Chen Xuan.

"Take a look and then talk."

Chen Xuan picked up the insect bag with some doubt and scanned it with his spiritual sense.

It is indeed the larva of the Jade-faced Queen Bee, but the color is a little wrong.

"Aren't Jade-faced Queen Bee larvae white? Why is yours black?"

To be precise, it is a mixture of black and red patterns.

"This is a mutant species. If I weren't so short of money, I wouldn't be willing to exchange it with you!"

"wait."

Chen Xuan communicated with the psychic green snake in his sleeve through his spiritual thoughts.

"Qingqing, is there anything special about this Jade-faced Queen Bee?"

He placed the insect bag on his sleeve and let the psychic green snake observe it for a while.

"Nothing strange, just a bit of an atavistic feature."

"Atavistic characteristics?"

"It has awakened a trace of its ancestral bloodline. Judging from its appearance, it should be a descendant of some ancient poisonous bee."

"Can it be cultivated to maturity using the Insect Emperor Divine Wood Cauldron?"

"I think so. Do you still have the insect essence?"

The psychic green snake objected in a clear manner: "You can't even support Bao Bao, Xiao Dao, and me, and you still want to raise a group of poisonous bees?"

"There will always be a way."

Chen Xuan stood up and said to the male cultivator, "It's worth eight spirit stones, plus twenty-two spirit stones, and all thirteen shadow-winged poisonous insects will be taken away."

Seeing that the female cultivator wanted to speak, Chen Xuan quickly covered her mouth.

"Make a decision quickly before I change my mind."

"No problem. Sister, give me two spirit stones."

In just two breaths, the male cultivator collected twenty-two spirit stones, exchanged them for his thirteen shadow-winged poisonous insects, and flew away with the female cultivator.

"Why are you running so fast?" Chen Xuan muttered to himself.

"Of course. If you don't run away quickly after taking advantage of the situation, what if you regret it later?"

An old stall owner nearby said with a smile.

"What's cheap?"

"Young man, if you sell the Shadow-Winged Poisonous Insects to the Xu family in Wanshou Ridge, one will cost you three spirit stones, no problem." The old stall owner said gloatingly.

Chen Xuan was speechless for a while.

What kind of people are these?

Watching him suffer without giving him any warning.

Fortunately, I collected a Jade-faced Queen Bee larva, which had awakened the bloodline of my ancestors.

Otherwise, you will suffer a huge loss.
