Chapter 64 Advanced Techniques (Please subscribe)

This is exactly what Chen Xuan needs, so why would he not want it?

"How many spirit stones?"

"Fellow Daoist Chen, name your price!"

Chen Xuan pondered for a moment.

"Two hundred and thirty spirit stones, how about that?"

This is the market price: one low-grade poisonous insect corpse for one spirit stone.

"Okay! Fellow Daoist Chen is straightforward! This is the price!"

Zhu Yao agreed readily.

Oops!

Chen Xuan suddenly remembered that the Ten Thousand Poison Mountains where the Five Poison Sect was located was a place where poisons were rampant.

The price is too high!
"Fellow Daoist Chen has a great reputation and is honest and righteous. He won't go back on his word, will he?"

Seeing that Chen Xuan had not paid the spirit stones for a long time, Zhu Yao said impatiently.

Forget it.

Don't bother with him.

Just consider it a favor to Su Yanping and Su Zhengming.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, you're joking."

Chen Xuan took out two medium-grade spirit stones, a total of thirty spirit stones, from his storage bag and handed them over.

After receiving the spirit stone, Zhu Yao immediately changed his attitude.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I wish to collect the remains of these poisonous insects and come all the way to Qingyun Market. It is not an easy task!"

Chen Xuan nodded.

What Zhu Yao said was true.

A cultivator in the late stage of Qi training who can cross the wilderness from the Wandu Mountains to the Qingyun Market does have some skills.

If it were Chen Xuan, he would not take such a risk unless there was a huge benefit.

"Fellow Daoist, if you encounter a second-level monster on the road, or encounter a demon cultivator or a robbery cultivator, what should you do?"

Zhu Yao smiled.

"Fellow Daoist Chen doesn't know much about my Five Poison Sect."

"really."

"I am a disciple of the Five Poison Sect. I practice poison skills from the moment I enter the sect. At my level, I am almost a poisonous person. If I encounter danger and there is really no way to escape, I can self-destruct to harm the enemy. Even if it is a foundation-building cultivator, it would not be easy to deal with if it was touched by our self-destructing poisonous blood."

Chen Xuan was stunned.

Isn't this the last resort of some venomous insects?
"Unless it's absolutely necessary, who would be willing to self-destruct and die? Besides, the disciples of the Five Poison Sect have always been poor. Apart from some poisons, they don't have any valuable items. Whether they are demon cultivators or robbery cultivators, they disdain to do anything that doesn't benefit them!"

Chen Xuan suddenly understood.

No wonder Zhu Yao dared to cross the wilderness.

They are good at controlling insects, and like Chen Xuan, they naturally have ways to avoid monsters.

Moreover, both the demon cultivators and the calamity cultivators are unwilling to provoke them.

"Would you like to come and trade again, fellow Daoist?"

"Hey, how much more do you need?"

“The more the merrier.”

Zhu Yao was silent for a while, as if thinking.

He raised his head and asked hopefully, "Do you want a live poisonous insect?"

"price?"

"An ordinary low-grade poisonous insect costs three spirit stones each, while a powerful one costs between five and ten spirit stones."

Chen Xuan thought about it.

The corpse of a poisonous insect costs one spirit stone, and the condensed venom can be sold for half a spirit stone.

A living poisonous insect costs three spirit stones, and even if half of it is reduced, the price is still five times that of a corpse!
Although the quantity and quality of the insect spirit essence condensed from living poisonous insects are slightly better, the five-fold gap is difficult to make up.

"It's still the corpse of a poisonous insect."

"Alright. I'll come back in two months. Fellow Daoist Chen, please prepare the spirit stones!"

"A word is settled!"

"A word is settled!"

The transaction was successfully completed.

Zhu Yao took out a treasure and gave it to Su Yanping. After giving her a few instructions, he was about to leave.

Chen Xuan suddenly remembered something.

"I wish you a moment, fellow Daoist!"

"What else?" "If I remember correctly, the Ten Thousand Poison Mountains are adjacent to Liang State."

"So what? Although my Five Poison Sect belongs to an unorthodox sect, it is also a famous and powerful sect in the Song Kingdom."

"I'd like to ask, fellow Daoist Zhu, is there any way to get some ghosts?"

"The Five Poison Sect strictly prohibits cultivators from colluding with the Demon Sect. Those who are easily expelled from the sect will be slaughtered and killed in serious cases!"

Chen Xuan doesn't believe him at all!

"Ten Spiritual Stones!"

"What do you mean?"

"Ten spirit stones for one ghost, the lowest level kind will do!"

"How many do you want?"

Seeing Zhu Yao's expression, Chen Xuan knew that he had been taken advantage of again.

"Just three."

"No problem! We agreed beforehand that if the sect finds out, don't involve me! I won't admit it."

Chen Xuan was speechless.

After a while, he asked, "Are all the Five Poison Sect cultivators as poor as you?"

"That's right!" Zhu Yao shook the storage bag on his body and said proudly, "My current wealth is more than that of my ten fellow apprentices combined!"

"This, this is too poor!"

"How could it not be poor? The entire Ten Thousand Poisons Mountain Range has only one large spiritual vein. In the Five Poison Sect, there are Jindan Zhenren, more than a dozen foundation-building masters, and 100,000 disciples."

"Various poisons are abundant and can't be sold at a high price. Elixirs, talismans, magical instruments, spiritual rice, monster meat, which one doesn't cost spirit stones!"

Zhu Yao complained

"Are there any masters of such specialties as alchemy, weapons, arrays, talismans, etc. within the sect?"

"Yes, there are, but as for the quantity and quality, Fellow Daoist Chen, just think about it."

"I was mistaken!"

In a sect that refines poisons and controls insects, with capable alchemists, talisman masters, formation masters, spiritual plant masters, etc., who would be willing to stay for long!
Having reached an agreement on the next cooperation, Zhu Yao was unwilling to stay long. After chatting for a while, he disappeared into the Shadow Forest.

Chen Xuan brought Su Yanping and met up with Su Zhengming who was on guard outside.

The journey was uneventful and we returned to the market safely.

As soon as Chen Xuan returned home, he condensed the corpses of more than 200 poisonous insects.

The longer it is left, the more insect spirit energy will be released.

The mountains are poor and the water is full of doubts, and there is another village.

Zhu Yao, a cultivator from the Five Poison Sect, delivered the goods to the door, and he would occasionally go to the edge of the Shadow Forest to hunt some, so he could temporarily meet the needs of the five strange insects.

As for the soul-eating insects, although there are six of them, they are still in their infancy and do not need too much insect spirit essence.

According to the "Art of Controlling Spirits and Insects", this strange insect needs to devour ghosts to grow, and its main specialty is dealing with ghosts and other underworld creatures.

The Jinyang Sect and other major sects of the Song Dynasty strictly forbade their monks to collude with the Demon Sect.

Once verified, it will be a capital crime and the entire family will be implicated.

Therefore, in the State of Song, magic cultivators were hated by everyone, and magic weapons were rarely seen on the market.

Ghosts are commonly used consumables for magic practitioners. They can play a significant role whether in practicing magic or fighting against enemies. They are common items for magic practitioners and have certain monetary properties.

Ten spirit stones for a low-level ghost, the price is definitely too high.

Fortunately, Chen Xuan is now wealthy, so it is worthwhile to use the mere thirty spirit stones to experiment with and cultivate soul-eating insects.

Divide the insect spirit essence into six parts, store some, and distribute the rest to the five strange insects to encourage their recent performance.

Chen Xuan never regarded these strange insects as tools, but as companions in his practice on the Tao.

Especially the psychic green snake, which has been promoted to the first-grade upper level. Its intelligence is gradually increasing, and its strength on paper exceeds his.

The psychic green snake still called Chen Xuan its master, but the actions and conversations between the man and the snake were now on an equal footing.

There is no benefit, and it is no longer easy to get the psychic green snake to work hard.

“You still have to improve yourself!”

Once the Qingling Sword Technique reaches the level of mastery, it can only be improved slowly.

Now it seems that the vine-trapping technique is indeed a bit useless.

It has no attack power, but it is good enough to delay the opponent's attack.

Although he is at the sixth level of Qi training, Chen Xuan's consciousness and magic power are almost the same as those at the ninth level. He can even learn first-grade top-grade spells, not to mention that he is also blessed with the divine power of the third eye.

"Summon a wood spirit and use the wood spirit energy to form a body that can use plants and trees to fight."

"Wood Spirit Shield, condensed wood spirit shield, has good defensive power, effectively resisting the opponent's attack."

"Wood Blade Storm, wood spirit energy forms multiple blades, with strong cutting power."

Chen Xuan flipped through the newly purchased "Advanced Wood Cultivation Techniques", reading through them one by one.
