Chapter 2462: Wasn’t Just a Village Woman
Xuan Yuanhao even invited the head of White Cloud Temple to help them. The old Taoist priest found some clues, but could not unravel the formation and almost got lost in the forest himself.
Even if Xuan Yuanhao didn’t want to accept it, he couldn’t find an entrance.
Power, that was such great power! But those country bumpkins just used it to block the sun.
Xiao Ke couldn’t help saying, “It’s all because of that meddlesome village woman.”
The old Taoist priest waved his horsetail whisk. “That wasn’t just a village woman. She was previously a bride that was supposed to be buried with the dead…”
“Instead, she ran away.”
“She was that kind of person?” Xiao Ke sighed.
The old Taoist priest shook his head and said, “Arrogant and obstinate, with a complete lack of etiquette, whoever this woman meets will be unlucky.”
The most annoying thing was that he couldn’t do anything to her.
Xiao Ke nodded. “That is quite unfortunate. The general had originally already gotten the spirit stone when that woman appeared and insisted on helping those people.”
“She was such a heartless person.” Xiao Ke had never seen such a woman before.
“General, I’m sorry. It’s all because of me. If I weren’t so weak, the general wouldn’t have had to exchange the spirit stone for me.” Xiao Ke felt very guilty.
Xuan Yuanhao looked at Xiao Ke and said, “If I were to choose again, I would do the same thing. The stone is just a lifeless object, but a general needs a resourceful military adviser.”
The rims of Xiao Ke’s eyes were a bit red. “Thank you, General.” She looked at Xuan Yuanhao with tenderness in her eyes.
The group kept complaining about Ning Shu even as they helplessly left.
Ning Shu sneezed as she was feeding porridge to Zhenzhen. She placed down the bowl and touched her forehead. Did she catch a cold?
After she finished feeding Zhenzhen, Ning Shu took Zhenzhen outside the barrier to bask in the sun.
She chatted with some intelligent animals in the jungle about where to find a specific herb and such.
Generally, it was the more clever animals that could answer Ning Shu.
The restriction that the animal had to have a certain level of intelligence was quite limiting.
Ning Shu recorded each kind of herb she found in a book, along with its medicinal characteristics and which illnesses it was used to cure.
By writing down one medicinal ingredient a day, the book had already become thick.
Life went by ordinarily and enrichingly. Ning Shu herself had also succeeded in refining some demonic poison insects, but they were all very simple.
After staying in the village for a long time, Ning Shu gradually came to understand the village.
It was said that every generation of high priests had a demonic poison insect. This insect would be passed down from generation to generation when the previous generation’s high priest was about to die.
It was called the swarm sovereign.
Ning Shu was interested in how an insect could live so long?
It was too unscientific.
Ning Shu wanted to gain first-hand knowledge of the swarm sovereign, but the high priest said that it wasn’t time for it to appear. Only when the high priest was about to die would it come out and enter the body of the next generation’s high priest.
The swarm sovereign would protect the high priest when making poisonous insects. It was a preventative measure to keep from being hurt by more aggressive ones.

The more it was explained, the more incredible it sounded. Did this insect really exist?
It seemed that she wouldn’t have a chance to see it.
Ning Shu would go to the high priest’s house every time she created demonic poison insects. She didn’t want to stink up her own house.
Especially when it came to poisonous insects and snakes, what would she do if something got out and bit Zhenzhen?
Ning Shu slowly mastered the skill of refining the insects and became more proficient at it.
She found that if she put a bit of spiritual energy into the urn where the insects were, the fighting in the urn would become more intense and the victorious insect would be stronger than usual.
Ning Shu was delighted. This could be considered as having mastered another skill. As long as conditions permitted, she could make demonic poison insects.
She learned to make both demonic poison insects that could save people and kill them. More skills never hurt after all.
Ning Shu felt that the tasks were becoming more and more difficult. Without some preparation, she wouldn’t be able to finish her tasks at all.
Her goal was to get to the top! But so far she could barely survive.
