Chapter 151, Level 3 Poison Gu, 11 entries
The Five Poisons Sect.
"Yes, Master."
After speaking respectfully, the Blackwater Demon King took the Poison King Cauldron in front of him and cast a series of hand seals onto it.
The Blackwater Demon King controlled his demonic energy, forming barriers around him to protect him.
Lin Li retreated several hundred feet away to observe cautiously.
At this moment, the Blackwater Demon King also activated the power of his Core Formation and drove his flying sword magic weapon, which coiled around his body like a long black snake.
He also took precautions to protect himself.
The Poison King Cauldron, used by generations of Core Formation cultivators of the Five Poisons Sect for cultivation, holds the unknown spiritual treasures it contains.
As someone from an outside sect, the risks of forcibly opening this cauldron would be considerable.
...
at the same time.
Outside the Five Poisons Gate.
On a strange peak more than ten miles away.
The plump old man, a human in the mid-stage of Core Formation, looked on with surprise when he saw the Five Poisons Sect protected by heavy baleful energy.
How could this be?
Who exactly attacked the Five Poisons Sect?
How could the Five Poisons Sect's protective formation have been controlled by the enemy?
The fat old man looked surprised.
Unless it is a Core Formation cultivator from the Five Poisons Sect, who else could possess such a method?
The fat old man had originally thought he might be able to snag a bargain, but before he could even make a move, he sensed an astonishing aura of Core Formation power emanating from the Five Poisons Sect.
Extremely unusually, all the Foundation Establishment stage sea demons under the Blackwater Demon King's command also turned against each other.
The combined forces suppressed the Black Water Demon King, and the Five Poisons Sect's protective mountain formation, which had previously lost its effectiveness, was activated again, restoring the sect's protection.
He, who was trying to take advantage of a bargain, ended up being shut out.
All we could do was stand outside and watch helplessly.
That's enough.
Since we're not meant to be, let's let go.
The fat old man flicked his sleeves and did not stay there any longer. The Poison King Cauldron must have fallen into the hands of the person behind it, and his plan had come to nothing.
Even if we stay here, it won't be of much use.
Perhaps it would be better to leave now.
Moreover, he was well aware of his situation; the Core Formation cultivator who had secretly reopened the Five Poisons Sect's formation must have already noticed his movements.
Staying here is too dangerous.
The thought of the Black Water Demon King being suppressed filled him with dread. If it were him facing such an attack, he would certainly not have been able to escape even a fraction of the attack.
Their fate will be the same—easily suppressed, without any surprises.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a streak of light and flew into the sky. A few breaths later, it disappeared without a trace.
...
...
Buzz!
After the Black Water Demon King's hand seal entered the Poison King Cauldron, the cauldron began to tremble slightly. He used his Core Formation stage divine sense to envelop the Poison King Cauldron and carefully examined everything around it.
It lasted for almost an hour.
Bang!
The next moment, the Poison King Cauldron opened directly, and a purple smoke spread out from it. When the smoke came into contact with the spiritual energy shield on the Black Water Demon King's body, it began to sizzle.
The outermost layer of spiritual energy shield was corroded away in a very short time, and the spiritual energy on the second layer was also rapidly dissipating.
A superior-grade, third-tier malevolent aura!?
Upon seeing this, the Blackwater Demon King's expression changed, his eyes filled with astonishment.
At the same time, under the perception of his Core Formation stage divine sense, he vaguely sensed the aura of a Core Formation stage Gu worm from the poisonous smoke and baleful aura, but the aura was extremely weak.
It seems there is only a sliver of hope.
After the Poison King Cauldron was opened, the Gu worms at the bottom of the cauldron began to stir restlessly.
However, the Blackwater Demon King acted quickly, immediately taking out more than a dozen sealing talismans from his storage bag. They all turned into more than a dozen blue streams of light and landed on the surface of the Gu worms.
More than a dozen water curtains formed, completely enveloping the Gu worm.
Inside the water curtain.
The pale silver Gu worm had a black pattern on its back, resembling a single black eye. The pattern seemed to flow slowly from the carapace on the back of the Gu worm, as if it were alive.
After seeing that the sealed and empowered Gu worms had stopped moving much,
The Blackwater Demon King was relieved. When he first sensed the aura of this Gu worm with his Core Formation Divine Sense, he sensed that the Gu worm possessed magical power comparable to that of a late-stage Core Formation cultivator.
If this Gu worm were at its peak, the moment the Poison King Cauldron opened, facing an attack from a late-stage Core Formation Gu worm at such close range, the Black Water Demon King knew very well that even if it didn't die, it would be severely injured.
It's only by sheer luck now; this Gu worm is already very old and its life hangs by a thread.
"Take a wisp of this Gu worm's life force and present it to me."
At this moment, the Blackwater Demon King sensed the message from his master. Although he was puzzled, he still did as he was told.
After casting a hand seal, the Blackwater Demon King extracted a wisp of blood energy from the Gu worm and gathered it into a blood-red pill.
The Blackwater Demon King raised his hand and sent it flying outside the spiritual energy barrier.
Lin Li, who was a hundred feet away, drew the blood bead to his side and raised his hand to refine the blood energy on the bead into his body.
[Inclusion successful]
[Third-tier superior bloodline (excellent), Hundred-poison Golden Silkworm (crippled)!]
In the blink of an eye.
A new Gu worm, its body interwoven with gold and silver, appeared on the Reincarnation Disc. It resembled a silkworm in appearance and was only half a foot long, but the pressure emanating from it was much stronger than that of the other bloodlines recorded on the Reincarnation Disc.
The worm landed steadily in the center of the plate.
The Blackwater Serpent, which had been there before, was pushed to one side.
This Gu worm possesses at least a slight potential to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
From this perspective, the Five Poisons Sect's heritage should not be underestimated. To be able to cultivate such a Gu worm capable of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage with the strength of a Core Formation sect is already considered to be in the upper-middle range compared to other Core Formation forces.
Immediately, Lin Li instructed Hei Shui to put the Gu worm back into the Poison King Cauldron.
His plan was not in vain.
Unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise inside the Poison King Cauldron.
The Five Poisons Sect has been passed down for a thousand years. Within the heart of this sect, there may be other Gu worm corpses or something, and perhaps even other third-tier Gu worm bloodlines can be obtained.
It is necessary to conduct a thorough inspection.
After a while.
The forbidden area of the main peak of the Five Poisons Sect.
Inside the cave house in the belly of the mountain.
Now that the array plates have been initially refined, the entrance to the cave that guards this forbidden area has been opened.
After entering,
What came into view was a statue made up of hundreds of intertwined Gu worms. The statue was a hundred feet tall and very conspicuous, and the entire statue also exuded a remarkable spiritual energy fluctuation.
The statue is carved entirely from spirit ore of rank two or higher, making it quite valuable. With so much spirit ore, it could fetch at least tens of thousands of spirit stones.
Lin Li took it directly and stuffed it into his storage bag.
No one would want to mess with spirit stones.
After passing the massive stone sculpture of a hundred poisonous insects, he entered the sect's forbidden area. The stone walls were decorated with portraits of the successive leaders of the Five Poisons Sect, and next to the portraits were the poisonous insects they had refined.
To Lin Li's dismay, these scrolls only contained descriptions and did not leave behind any remains or essence of their natal Gu worms.
"This is the insect chamber."
"However, it seems to have been abandoned for a long time."
"It seems that the snake demon at the Core Formation stage did not refine the Gu itself."
Lin Li looked at the four insect chambers that had been carved out here, and probed them with his divine sense, but did not sense any living Gu insects.
However, it wasn't entirely fruitless. Several wisps of Yin energy could be sensed in the insect chamber, presumably indicating that the corpses of some Gu worms had not been cleaned up by the Core Formation stage snake demon.
"Go and look for it."
"Check if there are any other Gu worm corpses here."
Lin Li gave instructions to the Blackwater on one side.
"Yes, Master."
Upon receiving the order, Hei Shui fully unleashed his Core Formation stage divine sense, forming hand seals as his own black mist demonic energy surged and split into numerous black mist serpents.
Dozens of malevolent spirit snakes began searching throughout the forbidden cave.
They didn't even miss a crack in the stone.
After all, many restrictions can block divine sense. If you rely solely on divine sense to investigate, you will inevitably miss some things. By using this secret method to investigate, you can ensure that nothing is missed.
After more than ten breaths.
All the black mist serpents were absorbed into the black water body.
"Master, there are no other Gu worm remains. This place seems to have been cleaned by someone. It may be a cultivator from the Five Poisons Sect. Someone specially cleaned this place."
"Only this insect chamber, which is protected by an array, shows no signs of having been cleaned."
Blackwater analyzed.
Lin Li nodded in response.
He then led the way with Hei Shui in front, and followed behind, entering the four stone chambers. As Lin Li raised his hand to remove the array restrictions on the stone chambers, a faint chirping sound came from one of the chambers.
Swish!
A black, beetle-like insect flew out of the stone chamber in the blink of an eye, attempting to escape.
Blackwater raised his hand and unleashed a burst of Core Formation magic power, binding and drawing it to his front.
It is a second-tier, low-grade Gu worm.
Lin Li, with fluid grace, extracted a wisp of vital energy from the Gu worm and refined it into his body.
[Inclusion successful]
[Second-tier, mid-level bloodline, Ink-armored Netherworld Gu!]
A black beetle about half a foot long appeared on the rebirth plate. After appearing, it obediently flew to one side of the rebirth plate.
Is it just a mid-Foundation Establishment bloodline?
Has the Five Poisons Sect fallen so low that it has to raise a Gu worm with Foundation Establishment bloodline in this sect's ancestral land?
Just thinking about the golden silk gu inside that Poison King Cauldron...
Lin Li looked at the four dilapidated insect chambers in front of him. After all, they had been passed down for many generations and had fallen from their peak. Even the human race's Core Formation cultivators had lost their lineage, leaving only a Core Formation snake demon to hold the fort.
It makes sense that a sect's ancestral land would be used to raise Gu worms with the bloodline of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
It makes sense that a sect's ancestral land would be used to raise Gu worms with the bloodline of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
How could a Gu worm with the potential to form a Core Formation bloodline be so easy to obtain?
As for the other three stone chambers...
The other three stone chambers were filled with a sinister aura, presumably because some Gu worms had perished inside. Lin Li, accompanied by Hei Shui, entered the first stone chamber.
In an instant.
A chill swept over him. In this stone chamber, which occupied only about half an acre, the walls were covered with a thin layer of frost. Although it was only an inch thick, Lin Li could still feel the chill creeping in.
After all, Lin Li's current cultivation level is only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
It has not yet reached the late stage of foundation building.
Now that he has taken control of the Five Poisons Sect, even if other Core Formation cultivators launch a strong attack, the formation will ensure he can rest easy.
Upon entering, in the center of this insect chamber stands a piece of mysterious ice about ten feet high. Inside the ice is a snow-white centipede with three pairs of pure white, jade-like cicada wings folded up on its back.
With a sweep of divine sense, the centipede worm within the mysterious ice was already dead.
There was no spiritual energy about it; instead, it exuded a deep aura of yin and evil. Around the ice were several insect eggs, which had long since turned grayish-white and were about the size of an infant's fist.
The insect eggs were the same, devoid of any life, like hard, lifeless stones.
Lin Li raised his hand and released streams of spiritual energy, which entered the Xuanbing and the insect eggs. He specially extracted a wisp of blood energy from these corpses and absorbed it back into his body.
[Inclusion successful]
[Third-tier, low-grade bloodline, Mystic Ice Centipede!]
[Inclusion successful]
[Third-tier superior bloodline (mutated), Mystic Ice Eight-Winged Spirit Centipede! (Fragment)]
On the Reincarnation Disc, two almost identical centipede figures emerged. One of them had six wings on its back and was over ten zhang long, while the other, a mutated bloodline spirit centipede, was nearly twenty zhang long, resembling an iceberg.
The mutated centipede had eight enormous wings on its back, and its white jade body was covered with faint purple patterns, giving it an air of mysterious majesty.
"It's the life force from one of the insect eggs."
"Being cautious did yield some results!"
Lin Li looked delighted.
This is another Gu worm capable of reaching the Nascent Soul stage in terms of bloodline potential, but after finally being cultivated, it was left unattended and became a dead egg.
If the human cultivators of the Five Poisons Sect who had reached the Core Formation stage had been able to live for several more decades, they probably could have cultivated an eight-winged spirit centipede capable of breaking through to the Core Formation stage for the Five Poisons Sect.
On the Reincarnation Plate.
To Lin Li's surprise, after fighting each other, the Xuanbing Eight-Winged Spirit Centipede and the Hundred-Poison Golden Silkworm actually shared a treasure spot in the center of the Reincarnation Plate.
The treasure land in the center of that plate can naturally nourish one's bloodline and aptitude.
This is the first time I've seen two people of the same bloodline sharing the same bloodline. It seems their bloodline aptitudes are almost identical.
"continue."
After searching the stone chamber for a while without finding anything else, Lin Li went to the second stone chamber.
As soon as they entered the stone chamber,
Lin Li then saw a human corpse lying in front of him, with a gap in its chest. The human corpse had turned into a skeleton, wearing a tattered second-tier robe.
Only a faint aura of power emanated from the robe.
Lin Li swept over the corpse of the human cultivator, raised his hand and took the storage bag into his hand, easily erasing the divine sense imprint on it.
A wisp of divine sense probed inside. The storage bag contained thousands of spirit stones, two ordinary second-tier low-grade magic artifacts, and a wooden box sealed in layers…
