Changsheng Xiuxian: I can see through everything

Chapter 42: Purchasing Insect Corpses (Please Read)

Hearing Xu Anjing say this, Chen Xuan's eyes lit up and he started to make plans in his mind.

Can we increase the amount of poisonous insect corpses from the Xu family?
In this way, more insect spirit essence can be condensed.

When Chen Xuan looked at Xu Anjing, it was as if he saw the crystal clear essence of the insect spirit.

"Ms. Xu Jiali, didn't you mention my specialties to Mr. Xu?"

"Specialty? Yes, she did. She said you're good at making poisons, so she asked me to send you some poisonous insect carcasses regularly."

"Actually, I'm an insect tamer!"

Chen Xuan said calmly.

Xu Jiali and Ying'er had seen the strange insects he controlled.

The Iron-back Mantis, although seemingly powerful, is actually no match for the Poison Flame Golden Silkworm.

The Iron-backed Mantis and the Poisonous Flame Golden Silkworm together are no match for the Psychic Green Snake.

Moreover, in addition to this, he now has a fourth strange insect.

The Jade-faced Queen Bee is extremely poisonous and can sting anything.

After advancing to the first-level intermediate grade, its power increases greatly.

The main thing is that it has no martial ethics, likes to fight in groups, and has thousands of poisonous bees under its command.

This is the result of Chen Xuan trying his best to suppress it.

If the growth environment is suitable and there is abundant nectar source from spiritual flowers, it will be no problem to develop tens of thousands of poisonous bees.

With these strange insects, we are more than capable of protecting ourselves.

This is the reason why Chen Xuan remained calm and composed when he saw the group of evil-faced flying eagles attacking the camp.

Even if he couldn't win, it would still be easy for him to escape.

Xu Anjing began to command his clansmen to clean up the battlefield.

The corpses of dozens of evil-faced flying eagles are a considerable fortune.

Especially the top-grade evil-faced flying eagle, its sharp claws and pointed beak are good materials for refining weapons and are very valuable.

Chen Xuan returned to the tent.

The psychic green snake, the iron-backed mantis, and the poisonous golden silkworm were pouncing on the corpse of the top-grade evil-faced flying eagle and feasting on it.

Yu Qingsong was stunned and speechless.

He knew that Chen Xuan was very good at controlling insects.

His old friend Li Zongwei told him that Chen Xuan had two rare insects, the psychic green snake and the iron-backed mantis, and both had been advanced to the middle grade.

However, he also saw a poisonous golden silkworm.

He pushed the Iron-backed Mantis aside without any hesitation, and knew at a glance that it was a vicious insect.

"That's enough. Leave some scraps for Hei Zai and his people!"

Seeing that the flying eagle's corpse was only a skeleton with some scraps and flesh left, Chen Xuan collected the three strange insects.

"Hei Zai!"

A buzzing sound was heard.

A cloud of black mist rose into the sky.

The Jade-faced Queen Bee, along with thousands of her poisonous bee followers, rushed towards the wreckage of the flying eagle.

They are really not picky eaters.

The flying eagle's corpse was completely turned into a bare, shiny skeleton.

For these strange insects, high-quality demon bird meat is a great tonic.

Especially these poisonous bees.

There was no source of spiritual flower nectar in the market, so Chen Xuan fed the snake with spiritual honey diluted with water and low-grade monster meat.

They were all starving to the point of being emaciated, and having the chance to eat a delicious meal of top-quality demon bird meat was the happiest day of their lives.

Chen Xuan did not avoid Yu Qingsong.

In a sense, the two are comrades on the same front.

At this time, Yu Qingsong's brain had froze after seeing Chen Xuan's four strange insects.

He had been hanging around in Qingyun Market for more than fifty years and had worked for many cultivation families, but he had never seen an insect tamer who could control four strange insects.

evildoer?

A word that hadn't been used for a long time popped up in Yu Qingsong's mind.

How could such a monster end up in the shantytown outside the market town? Are all those famous and authentic families and cultivation families blind?
"Fellow Daoist Yu, please help me peel off the claws and beak and process them. Can the carved bones be sold for spirit stones?"

"Yes, this is a first-grade, top-grade demon bird. Every part of it can be sold for money!"

"That's good. Help me with it. As usual, I'll give you 10% of the commission."

"okay!"

Hearing that there were spirit stones to be divided, Yu Qingsong became very motivated.

...That night, Xu Anjing hosted a banquet.

There were only four people at the table: him, Chen Xuan, Zhong Bo, and Yu Qingsong.

"We contacted the Western Reclamation Army, and the situation is not good."

Xu Anjing told Chen Xuan that many pioneering teams were attacked by evil birds and beasts and suffered heavy losses.

Several weaker teams were completely wiped out.

Even the western army camp was attacked and in chaos.

"No way. If I remember correctly, there are three Foundation Establishment Masters in charge of the camp."

Chen Xuan asked in surprise.

There are three great foundation-building cultivators, and at least one of them is a sect-based foundation-building cultivator. Yet, this lineup still suffered a setback.

"I heard there are quite a few second-level kings among the demonic birds and beasts, and they are coming with great force. There are only three people who have established their foundation, and they have been distracted and lost many independent cultivators."

"So fierce?"

Chen Xuan asked Yu Qingsong, "Fellow Daoist Yu, have you ever encountered this kind of situation before when you were exploring new land?"

"I've been clearing land for over 20 times, and I've only encountered this kind of situation once, but it wasn't this loud and it died down quickly."

Chen Xuan had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Does Master Xu have any plans?"

"What else can we do? Let's pack up and go back to the camp first!"

"So good!"

In any case, the Western Army camp is safer than the wild.

With three great foundation-building masters in charge, your safety will be guaranteed as long as you don't do anything dangerous.

After discussing business, we started chatting privately.

"Sister Jiali asked me to allocate poisonous insect carcasses to Brother Chen Xuan every month. Is there a reason for this?"

Chen Xuan smiled and said, "I raise some strange insects and like to eat poisonous insects. Moreover, I can condense the essence of venom, which can earn me some spirit stones, which is a small benefit."

"That's it!"

Xu Anjing seemed to think about it for a while, then said, "In Qingyun Market, the Xu family doesn't raise many poisonous insects. Only about fifty or sixty die each month. I've already allocated nearly half to you."

"How about this? I can make the decision on this matter. All the remaining dead poisonous insect corpses will be allocated to you."

"Thank you, Master Xu, for your care!"

Xu Anjing said with a somewhat unnatural expression: "Brother Chen Xuan, to be honest, that venom essence is useless to me. The poisonous insect corpses are given to you, and the condensed venom essence can only pay off the debt, but I can't pay you with spirit stones anymore."

"Before, Sister Jiali paid you the spirit stones, but it was for her own personal account."

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder Xu Anjing dislikes him.

In order to allocate the corpses of poisonous insects, he had to pay him six spirit stones every month.

"It's as it should be. I didn't know the inside story, but it turns out Miss Xu Jiali has been subsidizing me all along."

"Brother Chen Xuan, I hope you understand. You don't know how difficult it is to be the head of a family!"

Xu Anjing seemed to be full of grievances and just sighed a few times.

After all, we are not from the same tribe, so some things cannot be revealed to others.

"Come on, drink!"

The four of them raised their glasses and took a few sips of the spirit wine.

Taoist Yu was used to changing his attitude according to the situation, making jokes and telling some interesting stories from the past when he was reclaiming the land, which soon livened up the atmosphere.

Taking advantage of the alcohol, while calling each other brothers, Chen Xuan asked, "Mr. Xu, could you give me some more poisonous insect skeletons?"

"you still want?"

Xu Anjing pondered and said, "If it's a live poisonous insect, there are indeed a lot of them, but the price is..."

"I only want the poisonous insect corpses!"

Chen Xuan said immediately.

Live poisonous insects, first-grade low-grade, the market price is three spirit stones each.

Chen Xuan can't afford it.

"As for poisonous insect carcasses, Qingyun Market doesn't have any. But we can get them from other markets. However, the journey is long, and if we ask a caravan to bring them, the price will be quite high!"

"What's the price?"

Xu Anjing calculated silently in his mind for a while.

"One poisonous insect corpse, one spirit stone. The venom essence you refine can be worth 50%. That's about the price."

"Very good. Mr. Xu, please take the trouble to help me allocate another fifty poisonous insect corpses every month."
