The Insect Expelling Technique left by Han Yuan of the Thousand Spirit Sect was indeed very exquisite and profound.
This so-called Insect Expelling Technique included not only secret methods for commanding Demon Insects in battle, but also many secret techniques related to insect breeding.
Beast Taming and Insect Expelling might seem similar at a glance, but upon detailed examination, there are significant differences between the two.
For Beast Taming Cultivators, as long as the bloodline of the Demon Beast is high-grade, there is no need to put much effort into beast rearing.
But Insect Expelling is completely different.
Apart from a very few Demon Insects with extremely bizarre and powerful individual capabilities, the majority of Demon Insects need to rely on numbers to exhibit formidable combat strength.
How to expand the populations of Demon Insects and how to command more Demon Insects overwhelm the Insect Cultivators’ breeding capabilities.
In the history of the Thousand Spirit Sect, there were people who, through skilled breeding techniques, took an originally ordinary Demon Insect and, after continuously selecting and breeding superior offspring, eventually cultivated a new, powerful type of Demon Insect.
Relative to Demon Beasts, the reproductive ability of Demon Insects is undoubtedly much stronger, and the maturation time of the larvae is also much shorter.
In one hundred years, a high-grade Demon Beast might only give birth to one litter, or may not even manage to have one.
But the breeding interval for most Demon Insects will not exceed five years.
This means that, in the same span of one hundred years, Demon Insects could reproduce for twenty generations!
In the hands of a Cultivator skilled in breeding techniques, this generational reproduction is entirely sufficient for them to select the most excellent species and, using various methods, enhance them to their strongest state.
Take Han Yuan for example, he relied on his outstanding breeding techniques to continuously refine and mutate a Demon Insect called the "Gold-Striped Iron-Eating Bug," eventually cultivating a pale golden strange insect he named "Mystical Armor Golden Feather," which caused Zhou Mingde and the others a lot of trouble.
In fact, Zhou Mingde and the others were lucky at the time, those "Mystical Armor Golden Feather" had been sealed for too long, and their strength had declined to less than half of their peak. Enjoy exclusive chapters from freewebnovel
Otherwise, just the three of them, as Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators, would not have been able to survive the onslaught of so many "Mystical Armor Golden Feather."
At this moment, Zhou Chun was comparing Han Yuan’s various notes and insights while browsing through those secret techniques specifically for breeding insects. He found himself enlightened with significant gains.
He even sparked some inspiration and wanted to apply some of these techniques to breeding Demon Beasts.
Indeed, compared to Demon Insects, the bloodline status of Demon Beasts is more stable, and their breeding and growth cycles are much longer.
But there is still the opportunity for change!
Emulating the insect breeding techniques to cultivate Demon Beasts might not produce quick results, but it is certainly a viable path.
If this path could be successfully traversed, the gains would undoubtedly be immense.
However, although he was brimming with inspiration and had many ideas, he never considered personally undertaking such endeavors.
He only recorded these ideas, intending to pass them, along with those insect breeding techniques, to Zhou Family’s Supreme Elder Zhou Daoquan to try in the future.
For Zhou Chun, cultivation was the foremost priority, followed by how to strengthen his own power and the family’s influence.
As for these skills and techniques, if he truly had a talent for them, well and good, but if not, he didn’t want to invest further effort in them.
Unless he one day stepped down as Clan Leader and wasn’t so busy, he might have time to get involved.
Therefore, after looking through those insect breeding techniques once, Zhou Chun still returned his focus to those Insect Expelling Techniques that could help enhance a Cultivator’s combat abilities.
The Insect Expelling Techniques of the Thousand Spirit Sect were quite perfected, with different kinds of Demon Insects having corresponding secret techniques to maximize their strengths.
For instance, Demon Insects with extremely strong defenses, like "Mystical Armor Golden Feather," are suitable for the "Insect Armor Technique," which refines them into a special "Insect Armor" to protect oneself.
Or using the "Insect Spear Technique" to refine them into an "Insect Spear" that could be shot out and then explode rapidly in front of the target, allowing the swarm to surround the enemy at the fastest speed.
And for moth-like Demon Insects like "Poison Flame Moth," which release highly corrosive poison flames, you can use the "Spirit Melting Technique" to merge the poison flames from thousands of "Poison Flame Moth" into a toxic flame torrent, creating a sea of fire to attack the enemy.

There’s also a Secret Technique called "Insect Explosion Technique," which involves pre-inscribing symbols on certain Demon Insects so they can self-destruct at critical moments.
This technique is particularly suitable for those toxic-bodied Demon Insects. When they self-destruct as a group, the resulting power is enormous.
Another technique, called "Insect Puppet Technique," allows the refiner to turn Demon Insects into puppet avatars for scouting or combat.
To tell the truth, compared with the still developing Beast Taming Technique of the Zhou Family, the Insect Expelling Technique legacy left by Han Yuan was undoubtedly much more advanced.
If used effectively, these Insect Expelling Techniques could give the Zhou Family the opportunity to become a force like the Thousand Spirit Sect in the future.
Of course, although the Insect Expelling Technique has many advantages and ingenious points, its shortcomings are just as clear.
Firstly, like the Beast Taming Technique, the Insect Expelling Technique requires some excellent Demon Insects as the objects to be commanded in order to exert sufficient power.
