The business of the Pride Insect Clan is all about making huge profits with no investment. Seeing that her aunt was so fond of Little Fox Boy, she came to ask for his help.

The proud worm patriarch felt as if he had lost hundreds of millions.

"Ancestor, the little fox is one of our own."

Seeing the old lady's expression, the aunt roughly understood what she was complaining about. She patted Su Yan's shoulder with a look of both laughter and tears and said, "Although this kid calls me 'Auntie,' given my relationship with Su Qing, the little fox is like a godson to me."

“I’ve watched him grow up since he was a child. As his godmother, now that my son is in trouble and has no one to help him, how can I just watch the little fox die? Ancestor, do you think I’m right or not?”

"That's the logic, and that's how I taught it." The Proud Insect Ancestor looked at Su Yan and said, "Are you really one of us?"

"Yes!"

Startled by the sudden gaze of the Proud Insect Ancestor, Su Yan, who had been sitting quietly listening without saying a word, quickly spoke up, "I will never forget Aunt's great kindness."

"That's right, Ancestor, don't underestimate this little fox just because it's small. It's incredibly ambitious when it comes to making money. It's earned this much for me in just two years."

My aunt raised two fingers and said with a strange expression, "A full twenty million catties of spirit stones. I was able to awaken my supernatural powers so quickly thanks to the little fox. She gave me a million catties of spirit stones just like that, and I got my fill."

"He even promised to take care of me in my old age and have a baby fox to call me grandma. Doesn't that make us family?"

The aunt frantically encouraged Su Yan, exaggerating the amount of money he had accumulated to support his wife, and even saying that those spirit stones were money he had earned to live a carefree and happy life.

"Twenty million catties of spirit stones."

The way the proud worm ancestor looked at Su Yan suddenly became a little strange, and Auntie's eyes lit up.

Twenty million catties of spirit stones is an enormous amount, so much so that ninety percent of the sects in the cultivation world might not be able to accumulate such wealth even after dozens of generations of effort.

"They are definitely one of our own."

Seeing that his aunt was so supportive of Su Yan, the Proud Insect Ancestor shook his head and said, "Since Little Fox is not an outsider, then I will definitely help him with his affairs. So, when will you settle down and start a family? How old are you this year? Other insects of your clan are already planning to lay eggs at your age. Look at you now, still wandering around and eating your son's food."

Having said all that, there was no need to continue discussing Su Yan's question.

After all, arrogant people who prioritize loyalty will never fail to help their own people when they suffer.

Su Yan's matter is the same as the Pride Insect Ancestor's matter, so when are you going to have a baby, Xiao Qiong? Look at what your peers are doing, and what are you doing?

........................

My aunt was nagged by the proud old ancestor for an entire afternoon, mostly urging her to have a baby soon.

Cultivators are different from ordinary people. When they reach the Earth Immortal Realm, it becomes very difficult for them to reproduce. As their cultivation level increases, reproduction becomes a constant source of trouble for the powerful.

What are you doing?

Just as Auntie, looking utterly bored, leaned on Su Yan's shoulder and listened to the ancestor's nagging, a head and nine tails peeked out from behind the outer wall of the inn and spoke to the people in the backyard:

"I could feel it even from outside; there was a strong sense of resentment here that wouldn't dissipate, a resentment that lingered even after death, and it even seemed to be solidifying again."

"Sister Xi'er!"

Su Yan saw a figure peeking out from outside the wall, with a white cloth hanging above its head and a large double happiness character written on it, and its face immediately lit up with joy.

"Hey~ Little fox, don't get too close. This Farsea City is hot and humid, I don't want to hug a hand warmer fox."

I ate the wrong thing and almost choked in the bathroom.

After getting my injection and getting home, I slept until after nine. Two updates today! Time to rest and recharge.

Chapter 427 The Blade of the Heart

"What treasure did the little fox find? It's covered in a thick layer of resentment."

Sister Xi poked her head out from outside the wall, looked at Su Yan in the courtyard of the inn, and teased, "That thing that's following you is very improper."

The resentment left by a cultivator after death is roughly interpreted as a lingering spiritual consciousness containing resentment. It will dissipate after a period of time and will not have a significant impact on the surrounding creatures or things.

However, the resentment emanating from Su Yan was not right. It was not the yin energy that ordinary resentment transformed into, but rather a resentful aura containing the purest and most potent aura of the Nightmare Suppression Technique, mainly highlighting a feeling of being dead but not stiff.

As the former Supreme Ancestor of the Nightmare Suppression Sect, Sister Xi'er is extremely sensitive to the aura of Nightmare Suppression techniques.

"Heave-ho!"

Sister Xi raised her hand and pressed it against the wall. With a burst of strength, she gracefully swept across the inn's wall and landed in the inn's courtyard. She raised her hand and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen Old Bug."

The proud worm patriarch looked at Sister Xi'er who had climbed over the wall and nodded slightly as a greeting.

"what happened?"

The aunt standing to the side looked puzzled, glancing at the proud worm ancestor and her niece, and asked in confusion.

Both the Unborn Emperor and the Nine Netherworlds possess the ability to become invisible. When the Nine Netherworlds do not reveal their forms, only cultivators of the same bloodline and with powerful cultivation can detect their existence.

Hua Yu and her aunt both knew that Su Yan and Xia Yu Jiu You were very close. When they saw Su Yan looking over with a happy expression and calling out "Sister Xi'er" to someone who was not around, they roughly knew that the legendary Jiu You from Xia Yu City had come.

“Auntie, it’s Xia Yu’s Nine Netherworlds who has arrived.” Hua Yu Zhenren’s face was full of tamed expression. As soon as she saw the confusion on her aunt’s face, she immediately explained to her.

"Little fox, come here, let me see you."

After greeting the proud insect ancestor, Sister Xi'er looked at Su Yan, who was surrounded by resentment. Finally, she fixed her gaze on the storage ring on Su Yan's left hand, indicating that Su Yan should take out the treasure he had recently acquired.

"Sister Xi'er, you mean this?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yan used his spiritual sense to probe into his storage ring, pulled out the sacrificial knife from inside, and placed it horizontally in front of him.

"Yes, that's it!"

Seeing the slightly curved longsword Su Yan drew, Sister Xi'er's face showed a rare look of contemplation. Her brows furrowed as she stared at the sacrificial knife in Su Yan's hand, and she said:

"Something with a strong sense of history; I really didn't expect that sword cultivators still exist today."

The sacrificial knife in Su Yan's hand has a mysterious origin. The old glutton does not know its origin, but only knows that the sacrificial knife has a very practical ability to amplify magic.

The Mysterious Mother always carried it with her until after her death, when it fell from her hand. It was later given to Su Yan by the gluttonous old man and came into his possession shortly after they signed a blood pact.

"Sword cultivator?"

Su Yan looked at the long knife in his hand, his face filled with confusion, because what Sister Xi'er said was beyond Su Yan's common sense.

Su Yan naturally understood the meaning of sword cultivation. In the cultivation novels of his previous life, sword cultivators were everywhere, while body cultivators were considered worthless. However, in the cultivation world Su Yan lived in, there were no sects like sword cultivator, body cultivator, or magic cultivator. Every cultivator was an all-rounder, capable of using magic to cleanse the ground and also capable of fighting with weapons to the point of earth-shattering and earth-shattering changes.

Even if the earth immortal's head is smashed, a brand new one can grow back in the next second, and then he can unleash a magical counterattack that is like a natural disaster.

The main point of these big shots is that they live a carefree life, never needing anyone's help, and slowly achieve immortality.

So when Sister Xi'er mentioned the concept of sword cultivation, Su Yan was completely bewildered. Does our world also have cultivation and different categories?

“It’s ancient history,” Sister Xi’er said. “Back then, the method of suppressing evil spirits was just emerging, and the human race had not yet formed a unified cultivation method. For a period of time, the cultivation methods of the human race were as numerous as the stars in the sky. One of these methods was the school of swordsmanship that led to enlightenment.”

"However, due to its lack of universality, sword cultivation was gradually eliminated by the human race."

A cultivator who enters the Dao through the sword is called a sword cultivator. They need to possess the power of the metal element and do not cultivate supernatural powers. When they reach the Nascent Soul stage, they also need to refine their three external avatars into sword blades driven by their will.

The main reason why sword cultivation is not universally applicable is the lack of three external avatars.

The avatar's strength is no different from the original body. The only drawback, which is not really a flaw, is that the avatar needs to be fully charged with mana to complete the initial setup. After that, it can be used to attack or ambush enemies as a whole.

However, sword cultivators are not without their advantages. Their strength lies in their ability to unleash 120% to 180% of their formidable and domineering combat power when they wield three heart swords and combine them with unwavering willpower.

However, if the will wavers, the power of the three heart swords will plummet to rock bottom, or even be destroyed.

Life is a long journey, and who hasn't felt lost or experienced setbacks?

If one's Dao heart is not hardened to the point of steel, or if one's personality is too simple-minded and optimistic to a certain extent, one cannot succeed on the path of sword cultivation!

The sacrificial longsword in Su Yan's hand is a Heart Sword, and it is a Dao Heart Blade made by a cultivator at the Refinement of Void stage or above. It is a sword that combines three Heart Swords into one. As long as one holds an unwavering determination to something, it can cut through anything.

Of course, this effect applies to the sword cultivator himself; Su Yan cannot utilize this power of will.

The existence of the sacrificial longsword is almost equivalent to another Mysterious Mother, its form being refined and condensed by her beliefs, wishes, and efforts. Given enough time, it can become a weapon spirit.

"here."

Sister Xi raised her hand and touched the sacrificial longsword. The power of the same origin but different attributes spread out, breaking the restriction on the sacrificial sword in Su Yan's hand and forcing it to reveal its true form.

"hiss--"

The sacrificial knife, neither copper nor iron but resembling a stone knife, had vein-like growths growing from its hilt, which wrapped around Su Yan's arm to form a fleshy arm armor that enveloped him. The uneven patterns on the blade had transformed into white scales, while the tip of the blade had turned into a white snake head with a compassionate appearance, which raised its head to face the sky and unleashed a blood-red roar.

"boom"

The moment the sacrificial knife came to life, Su Yan felt as if the knife in his hand was incredibly heavy, making it impossible to hold. As a result, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Correspondingly, the inn's courtyard and surrounding buildings are becoming distorted, the grass and flowers are gradually withering and dying, and inanimate objects are drooping, with mold spots gradually growing on their surfaces and oozing putrid liquid.

"hiss--"

The giant serpent hissed, and the surrounding putrid fluids seemed to be given new life, forming creatures made of spiritual water, each exuding aggressive and malevolent intent.

"Does it harbor a life-stealing technique?" Sister Xi looked at the sacrificial knife that had manifested its true form and gained a general understanding of the power residing within it.

"This is truly a wonderful treasure!"

The sacrificial knife is a method of stealing life and death. By simply wielding the blade to devour enemies, one can rapidly increase their cultivation level and plunder the magical abilities of others in battle.

The Sacrificial Blade is a living lineage of Nightmare Suppression. It does not require the user to cultivate Nightmare Suppression techniques; all that is needed is to kill. The wielder can draw nourishment from the killing and eventually fall into the Nightmare Suppression deadly trap, just like the Holy Mother Xuan Tong.

Sister Xi looked at Su Yan and clicked her tongue in amazement:

"Now that we have snakes and foxes, all we need is a big pot to cook a pot of nourishing soup that soothes the five internal organs, replenishes qi, and gathers the essence of heaven and earth."

Chapter 428 Su Yan's Happy Life

"It's so heavy!"

Taking advantage of the sacrificial knife's inattention, Su Yan suddenly shrunk his body back into the form of a small fox and pulled his arm out of the flesh and blood arm armor.

Su Yan plopped down on the ground, staring at the white snake writhing incessantly, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead: "That was terrifying."

No matter how wildly imaginative Ren Suyan was, he could never have predicted that the sacrificial knife was actually a part of the body of the Holy Mother Xuan Tong, and that the sacrificial knife was also a living lineage of the Nightmare Suppression Technique.

The reason it possesses a more potent version of the Spirit Gathering Array is due to its life-stealing technique. While absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it also draws upon the nearby life force to amplify the effect of the Spirit Gathering Array.

"Little fox!"

Upon witnessing the sudden change, Su Yan immediately reverted to his fox form and freed himself from the sacrificial knife. His aunt, who was sitting at the tea table, suddenly stood up and flashed to Su Yan's side to observe her nephew's condition.

The proud ancestor and his aunt remained seated, showing no reaction to the sudden change. Clearly, they knew something about sword cultivators, so they were not surprised by the anomaly that occurred to the sacrificial longsword.
