Chapter 306: Chapter 215: Demon Child’s Trial
"Old Li, go to hell!"
"Old Pious Woman, you dare to ambush me?"
"Hahaha, Old Ghost Tong, your miasma is nothing special!"
The three Purple Mansion Realm Zhenren came to blows, fighting over the Tier Four Gu King. Beams of multicolored magic frantically collided.
BOOM!
The entire interior of the mountain shook violently.
Rocks and stones came tumbling down.
The already devastated Ten Thousand Gu Pool was now torn apart all over again.
"PFFT!"
Finally, with a blood-curdling scream, Elder Liey pierced a finger through the center of Elder Tong Gu’s forehead.
However, Elder Tong Gu’s Peach Blossom Miasma had also corroded half of Elder Liey’s body.
"If I can’t have that Tier Four Gu King, then neither can you!"
Elder Liey roared and launched a final, dying counterattack, his palm strike caving in Granny Yin’s chest. She collapsed to the ground, dead.
In the blink of an eye, the three late-stage Purple Mansion Gu Cultivators had actually ended up killing each other over the Gu King!
The area around the Ten Thousand Gu Pool fell completely silent.
’So, in the end, I’m the one who benefits?’
Amidst a pile of corpses, Qin Xuan’s eyes suddenly lit up, his face filled with pleasant surprise.
’The divination was right after all!’
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. As the fisherman in this story, I’ll gladly accept the spoils."
Qin Xuan roared with laughter.
His gaze burned as he stared at the massive phantom of the Gu King in the pool.
The Golden Threaded Centipede’s aura had already changed dramatically, and its fusion with the Tier Four Gu King was entering the final stage.
Taking advantage of the moment, Qin Xuan flicked his sleeve, pulling Yan Poshan’s and the three Purple Mansion Elders’ Storage Spiritual Artifacts into his grasp.
As he swept his Divine Sense across them, a simple, ancient Bone Scroll in Yan Poshan’s Storage Ring caught his attention.
A sudden stroke of insight hit him.
’It’s that Fourth Grade opportunity!’ Qin Xuan was overjoyed.
On the Poisonous Insect Scroll were five large words.
"Power Gu Body Casting Technique"
Qin Xuan studied it carefully, discovering that it recorded the secret teachings of the Nanjiang Power Gu Race for cultivating a Lifebound Gu Insect and using it to empower the master’s own body. It was a complete Tier Four Golden Core-level inheritance.
’If that were all, it would be one thing, but it also contains the detailed method for obtaining the Yin Water Position Divine Remnant of the Power Gu Race!’
Qin Xuan trembled with excitement.
This was the most precious treasure of the trip, and he had obtained it without lifting a finger.
’It’s mine! It’s all mine!’
After Qin Xuan carefully packed everything away, the fusion of the Tier Four Gu King and the Golden Threaded Centipede was nearing its end.
Thanks to a Beast Skin scroll from the Ten Thousand Gu Sect’s treasury that recorded the[All Heaven Strange Insect List], Qin Xuan finally learned the identity of this Tier Four Gu King.
’Netherworld Deceitful Spider, ranked ninety-seventh on the All Heaven Strange Insect List...’
Qin Xuan clicked his tongue in amazement.
’A mighty Tier Four Gu King is only ranked ninety-seventh on the Strange Insect List. What about my Bone-Transforming Corpse Beetles?’
Qin Xuan kept reading down the list, and finally let out a wry laugh.
The Bone-Transforming Corpse Beetles he was so accustomed to using were only ranked in the three-hundreds on the All Heaven Strange Insect List.
’Netherworld Deceitful Spider: born with infinite strength, its Bone Armor is indestructible, and it can spit a Spirit-Eroding Poison Net that specializes in corrupting the spiritual light of Magical Treasures...’
Qin Xuan was lost in thought.
’However, after fusing with the Tier Three Golden Threaded Centipede, it seems to have become different.’
He made a grasping motion through the air, drawing the Netherworld Deceitful Spider into a special Beast Taming bag.
But the greatest prize of all was Yan Poshan’s corpse, which contained a vast amount of Golden Core-level Poison Element!
To Qin Xuan, who was in the Purple Mansion Realm, it was an unparalleled treasure, whether for refining his Demonic Essence or for creating a Corpse Puppet.
’Unfortunately, even though only the Flesh Body remains, the residual Golden Core power is too immense. If I were to rashly try and draw upon it, I’m afraid I would risk my body exploding...’
Qin Xuan frowned slightly, contemplating whether he should divide and seal it or risk a slow Refinement.
Suddenly, deep within his sea of consciousness, the perpetually silent Broken Gold Blessed Land shook violently, emitting an intense feeling of craving and a powerful suction force!
With a thought, Qin Xuan released its restraints.
VMMM!
A phantom of the Broken Gold Blessed Land flashed behind him, and Yan Poshan’s corpse was instantly sucked inside.
Inside the Blessed Land, upon the barren ground that originally held only the massive corpses of the Giant Spirit Blood Demon and the Cyan Toad Demon Monarch, a third body crashed down.
The body began to dissolve as soon as it landed, its pure, fleshy Golden Core power absorbed by the Blessed Land. The originally sparse Spiritual Material Veins began to grow and spread at a rate visible to the naked eye.
’The Broken Gold Blessed Land... can actually devour high-tier flesh and blood to empower itself?!’
A joyous light burst forth from Qin Xuan’s eyes.
This unexpected discovery was even more valuable than the Golden Core corpse itself.
’In that case, I can just throw all future corpses in here!’
Not only could he nurture the Blessed Land and help it grow, but he could also comprehend the mysteries of the Golden Core Realm through its dissipating aura. It was killing two birds with one stone.
...
He accomplished his task and departed, hiding all trace of his deeds and name.
Qin Xuan rode his Escape Light away from the Ten Thousand Gu Sect, now a land of the dead.
Before he left, he took out his Identity Jade Order, opened the[Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission], and anonymously posted a message.
[The Unnamed Blood Slaughter of the Demon Sect]: "Selling the Southern Border Foundation Establishment-level territory, Black Stone Village, and the Purple Mansion-level territory, Thousand Spider Ridge. Also selling the Golden Core-level territory, Ten Thousand Gu Sect, as a package deal..."
"Three locations in total. Mountain Protection Arrays are intact. Aside from the Ten Thousand Gu Sect, both Thousand Spider Ridge and Black Stone Village are controlled via lingering Divine Soul measures. Highest bidder takes all. Buyer is responsible for pickup and cleanup."
As soon as the message was sent, the light screen flashed with numerous responses.
[Lady Jiuyin of Soul Refining into Silk]: "The Southern Border’s Black Stone Village? Interesting. One million low-grade spirit stones, plus ten pairs of Resentful Soul Pupils. This Lady will take it!"
[The Corpse Demon Daoist Monarch’s Darling]: "Thousand Spider Ridge is a suitable place to raise my little darlings. Two million low-grade spirit stones, plus I’ll trade you three Purple Mansion Realm Iron Armor Corpse Kings. How about it?"
[The Flute-playing Child of the Venerable]: "Hiss... The Ten Thousand Gu Sect? That’s a tough nut to crack. Who could possibly take that on? Price is too high. I’m out, I’m out."
[So Long as the Blood River Flows, I Shall Not Die]: "Master Qin, you are mighty! But the Ten Thousand Gu Sect is a Golden Core influence... I’m afraid only a True Monarch-level powerhouse could take that on."
