Changsheng Xiuxian: I can see through everything

Chapter 4: The Essence of the Insect Spirit (Please Read)

Chen Xuan was overjoyed when he saw this.

Under the guidance of divine consciousness, the door of the Insect Emperor's Divine Wood Cauldron opened, and the faint and strange fragrance was so strong that it seemed to be indissoluble, as if a passionate woman was waiting for the man she deeply loved.

The poisonous flame golden silkworm hesitated for a while, but ultimately could not resist the temptation of the strange fragrance, turned into a golden light, and drilled in.

Become!

The Insect King Divine Wood Cauldron glowed with light, and all the strange insects nearby, whether alive or dead, were absorbed into it.

Soon, a bright light appeared on the Insect King Divine Wood Cauldron, and nearly a thousand strange insects condensed into two balls of liquid.

One ball is black, slightly larger in size, and has a slightly fishy smell. It is the essence of venom.

The other ball was green in color and much smaller, only the size of a thumb. It was misty green, crystal clear and pure, and it was the essence of the insect spirit.

Unfortunately, they are all ordinary strange insects that have not yet been refined, and the essence of the insect spirit is much less than the essence of the venom.

After successfully subduing the poisonous flame golden silkworm and condensing the insect spirit essence and venom essence, the small golden and ancient characters on the wordless Taoist scripture changed.

[Spirit and Insect Taming Technique: Introduction (12/100)].

Chen Xuan was only at the second level of Qi training. At this point, a lot of his magic power had been consumed, and less than 30% remained.

For safety reasons, he put away the Insect King Divine Wood Cauldron and quietly returned home under the cover of night.

The small door of the wooden house was open, and a pretty figure was leaning against the door, holding a small lantern that was shining brightly.

"My husband is back!"

Her beautiful smile and soft voice made Chen Xuan inexplicably moved.

"came back!"

Chen Xuan held Jiang Yingxue's delicate little hand and walked into the house together, then turned around and closed the door tightly.

The wooden house has a simple ban that can resist attacks from low-level Qi training monks and ensure basic safety.

Jiang Yingxue obediently served him a bowl of warm demon meat and rice porridge.

Chen Xuan didn't hesitate and wolfed it down.

"Husband, is everything going well?"

Jiang Yingxue was still worried about the rent six days later.

If they couldn't pay the rent and were kicked out of the wooden house in the market town, with Chen Xuan's second-level Qi training and Jiang Yingxue's first-level Qi training levels, they wouldn't be able to survive in the wilderness for a few days!
"Everything is going well, don't worry!"

Chen Xuan was afraid that Jiang Yingxue would worry, so after thinking about it, he decided to tell her.

"I've refined some venom essence, which should sell for some spirit stones. I'll set up a stall tomorrow morning!"

"Great! My husband is amazing!"

Jiang Yingxue smiled happily, her eyes narrowed into crescents.

Chen Xuan smiled slightly and checked the Insect King Divine Wood Cauldron in his sea of consciousness. This was the greatest confidence in his life now!
……

The golden rooster crows at dawn.

Dozens of stalls were set up in a small free market outside the wooden house.

The stall owners are all casual cultivators in the early stages of Qi training, and most of them sell spiritual rice, spiritual fish, and monster meat.

"The best chalcedony rice, one spirit stone weighs thirty kilograms!"

"Freshly baked white-finned fish, one spirit stone and twenty kilograms!"

"Freshly slaughtered wild beef, one spirit stone for fifteen pounds!"

Low-grade spiritual rice, chalcedony rice, first-grade spiritual fish, white-winged fish, and captive spiritual beast, wild bull, are the most common spiritual foods in the market.

"Selling wine. I've been saving this green pear wine for ten years. One spirit stone costs five pounds!"

Spirit wine is more expensive, but it not only tastes good, but can also restore some mana.

"Qi-nourishing pills, authentic Qi-nourishing pills, two spirit stones per bottle, that's two bottles!"

A commonly used elixir in the early stages of Qi training, with ten pills in a bottle, which ordinary casual cultivators cannot afford.

There were also a few stalls selling talismans, but they were all first-level or above, such as the Speed Talisman, Rejuvenation Talisman, Golden Sword Talisman, Water Dragon Talisman, Earth Wall Talisman, Wind Blade Talisman, Golden Bell Talisman...

Basic talismans are simple to make and any casual cultivator with a certain level of skill can make them. They cannot be sold at a high price and one spirit stone can buy a dozen.

"Hey, what are you selling?"

An old Taoist priest with stained robes and unkempt appearance came over.

"Venom Essence."

Chen Xuan said frankly.

After refining thousands of strange insects in the Insect King Divine Wood Cauldron, the resulting venom was only about 60 milliliters, which Chen Xuan divided into six small porcelain bottles.

The old Taoist opened the small porcelain bottle, sniffed it, and was a little surprised: "Your venom essence is quite powerful, how much is it?" Just now, he felt a little dizzy.

You know, he is a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi training!

This shows the extraordinary nature of this venom essence!
"One spirit stone for two bottles!"

"Little Daoist friend, you are joking! It's just some ordinary venom, two bottles for one spirit stone. Do you think I'm a sucker?"

The old Taoist pretended to be ferocious and evil.

"Why don't you ask me who I am, Yu Qingsong? How could I be fooled by such a trick of yours?"

Yu Qingsong was about seventy years old. Although he had reached the fifth level of Qi training, he often had less than ten spirit stones in his pocket, and he had spent all of them on the goblins in Tianxiang Pavilion.

He came to the free market purely with the intention of finding some bargains, to see if he could find some valuable spiritual objects here and earn some money from reselling them.

The stall owner next to him laughed.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, everyone knows that you're a market expert at finding bargains!"

"This young friend Chen Xuan is an honest man, don't try to deceive him!"

"Strange, Master Yu never gives up until he sees the rabbit. What good stuff has he found?"

Yu Qingsong's old face turned red.

He knew in his heart that the stall owners who spoke were all experienced and were not afraid of him.

"What nonsense! It's just some ordinary venom!"

Yu Qingsong threw down the porcelain bottle and pretended to leave.

Next to him, a middle-aged cultivator wearing animal skin, with a burly build and scars on his face came over.

Like Yu Qingsong, he opened the porcelain bottle and sniffed it, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Such a domineering venom!"

He asked expectantly, "Is there an antidote?"

Chen Xuan shook his head: "There is no antidote."

These venom essences are condensed from nearly a thousand strange insects. Various insect venoms are mixed together and have complex ingredients.

"What a pity! If there was an antidote, the price would be right!"

After the middle-aged cultivator said this, some wandering cultivators gathered around him.

For low-level cultivators, poisoning is also a good way to improve their fighting ability.

In a place like the wilderness, being able to survive is a skill.

As long as one can enhance one's own strength, not to mention tempering poisons, even practicing magic is a common thing.

After some bargaining, the price of the venom was reduced to one spirit stone for three bottles.

The middle-aged casual cultivator bought three bottles.

Yu Qingsong quickly grabbed the last three bottles, threw down a spirit stone, and ran into the market in a hurry.

The independent cultivators who didn't buy the item were unwilling to give up.

Someone asked, "Little Taoist friend, will you come tomorrow?"

"Not necessarily, it depends on the situation."

Chen Xuan didn't say anything final.

"I'll come back tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or in three or five days."

After packing up his belongings, Chen Xuan looked at the two spirit stones in his pocket and stood up to clear his stall.

The rent only costs three spirit stones, and I can raise the money by making another trip.

It’s time to buy some spiritual rice and monster meat for the family.

When you have money, you have a different aura.

Chen Xuan spent a spirit stone and bought twenty kilograms of low-grade spirit rice and five kilograms of fresh beef, which he held happily in his hands.

As soon as he got home, Jiang Yingxue, who was cooking, dropped what she was doing, came over, and took the spiritual rice and beef from his hands.

"So heavy!"

"I'll do it!"

Chen Xuan put the spiritual rice into the rice jar and threw the beef onto the chopping board.

"Husband, we bought too much beef. It's such a big piece, how can we finish it?"

"In my opinion, next time you buy pickled beef, it will be cheaper."
