Changsheng Xiuxian: I can see through everything

Chapter 3: The Insect Emperor's Divine Cauldron (Please Read More)

Walking over and opening the jade box, Chen Xuan took out the old wooden tripod inside and placed it in his palm to examine it carefully.

It is about seven inches high, finely carved, and made from a whole piece of dark yellow sacred wood. The wood is as hard as iron, with faint dark red silk patterns in the wood texture, and it has an extremely light and strange fragrance.

It smells good and makes me happy.

When you open the base of the wooden tripod, you will see a few vigorous and ancient small characters engraved on it: "Insect Emperor Divine Wooden Tripod".

Inside the jade box, there was also a jade slip, which contained a manual on insect cultivation, titled "The Art of Controlling Spirits and Insects".

"Husband, didn't you say that we shouldn't learn this kind of unorthodox martial arts?"

Jiang Yingxue looked at Chen Xuan's expression and reminded him carefully.

The speed of practicing unconventional martial arts is much faster than that of authentic martial arts, but they are short-sighted and have an unstable foundation, so they are more likely to suffer backlash as time goes by.

For example, insect masters, with the help of various strange insects, are very powerful in fighting during the period of Qi training, but few can successfully build a foundation.

The Five Poison Sect was once famous and was known as one of the Seven Evil Sects of the Song State. However, it only had one Golden Core True Person and a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators. They hid in the sparsely populated Ten Thousand Poison Mountains and did not dare to come out.

The Jinyang Sect, ranked fifth among the Song Dynasty's Taoist sects, has one Yuanying Zhenjun, more than a dozen Jindan Zhenren, 100,000 disciples, and occupies several large spiritual veins.

Chen Xuan signaled Jiang Xueer to go out first, meditate and regulate her breathing, and after recovering some energy, she began to examine the "Spirit and Insect Control Technique".

He had no special skills and with only the level of a talisman-making apprentice, it was difficult for him to earn spirit stones in the market in a short period of time.

For insect cultivators, there may be a quick way to achieve success.

Chen Xuan was not wrong in his guess. This book, "The Art of Controlling Spirits and Insects", was a simplified version of the Five Poison Sect's skills. It was the experience of controlling insects written by the original body's mother and specially left to him.

The origin of the Insect Emperor Divine Wood Tripod is very mysterious. The original mother obtained it from an ancient cave dwelling. It should be a magic weapon of an ancient insect cultivator.
After reading the jade slip of the martial arts technique, Chen Xuan did not immediately offer sacrifices to the Insect Emperor Divine Wood Cauldron. Instead, he had lunch and had a good sleep to restore his energy and spirit to the best condition.

The divine power of clairvoyance should still be usable.

Chen Xuan intends to use his divine eye ability to refine the Insect Emperor Divine Wood Cauldron to perfection, making it his powerful tool for cultivation.

"Eye of the Sky!"

Based on his previous experience, Chen Xuan mobilized the spiritual energy in his body and poured it into his eyebrows.

Soon, an illusory eye appeared between his eyebrows, slowly opened, and looked at the Insect Emperor Divine Wood Cauldron in his hand.

At the same time, Chen Xuan hardened his heart, and gently swung the prepared knife, making a small hole on his fingertips. Drops of blood from his fingertips dripped into the Insect Emperor's Divine Wood Cauldron.

In the divine power of the Heavenly Eye, the Insect Emperor's Divine Wood Cauldron seemed to have a spirit, happily absorbing his essence and blood, revealing greedy desire from time to time.

Transparent insect shadows began to become clear, and scorpions, centipedes, snakes, toads, geckos and other insects, each with bright colors, were flying around the sacred wooden tripod.

The Insect King Divine Wood Cauldron suddenly emitted a dazzling light, sucking all the flying strange insects into the cauldron, and they circled and flew up.

Chen Xuan did not dare to be careless. With the help of his divine eye, the surface of the Insect Emperor's Divine Wood Cauldron was shining brightly, and there were nine key nodes on it.

"Success or failure depends on this!"

Chen Xuan concentrated all his energy and used his mind to guide the knife. He cut his ten fingers with the knife, and nine streams of blood shot out like a gorgeous rainbow, simultaneously hitting the nine key nodes of the restriction.

The formation is activated.

The evil spirit soared into the sky.

Chen Xuan's body shook, and he lost too much blood and essence in his body, almost fainting.

Fortunately, the Insect Emperor Divine Wood Cauldron had been activated, slowly shrinking, and finally absorbed into his sea of consciousness.

In just a few breaths, the spiritual light of the Heavenly Eye Divine Ability shook, dimmed, and soon collapsed and dissipated.

My body was extremely tired, as if all the energy had been drained out, and I could hardly even stand.

He sat down slowly and closed his eyes to rest.

Half an hour later, Chen Xuan opened his eyes with a look of joy on his face.

The ritual was perfectly successful, and the Insect Emperor's Divine Wood Cauldron was engraved with his spiritual imprint.

On the wordless Taoist scripture, a line of small, ancient golden characters slowly appeared.

[Spirit and Insect Taming Technique: Introduction (2/100)].

Sure enough, it was the insect-controlling technique of the Five Poison Sect.

At this moment, he could feel that the Insect King Divine Wood Cauldron in his sea of consciousness was constantly communicating with him, asking him to devour the strange insect.

A flash of enlightenment flashed through Chen Xuan's mind. This Insect Emperor Divine Wood Cauldron was a hidden universe, with numerous insect chambers capable of breeding a variety of exotic insects, each with its own unique uses.

Track and spy, fight and kill enemies, and even give back to the monks to increase their cultivation.

"So, I'm going to go find some exotic insects to breed!"

The wooden house where he lived was a shanty town on the outskirts of Qingyunfang City, equivalent to a slum.

There lived many low-level Qi-cultivating monks who were as poor as him.

Those whose economic conditions are slightly better will gather enough spirit stones and move into the market.

After all, the market town is not only rich in spiritual energy, but also protected by the law enforcement team and has a large protective formation to resist monsters.

Find a way to make money!

……

late at night.

A remote place on the edge of Shadow Forest.

In the cold moonlight, Chen Xuan walked alone under an ancient tree.

It is damp and dark here, which is prone to breeding strange insects.

He took out the Insect King Divine Wooden Cauldron and placed it in an open area.

According to the records of "The Art of Controlling Spirits and Insects", Chen Xuan slowly poured the magic power in his body into the Insect Emperor Divine Wood Cauldron.

Soon, the Insect King Divine Wood Cauldron began to emit an extremely strange and subtle fragrance, attracting swarms of strange insects from nearby, most of which were poisonous.

However, they circled around the Insect Emperor's Divine Wooden Cauldron but could not get in.

Chen Xuan is unwilling to cultivate rare insects that do not have a certain value.

Nearly a thousand strange insects entangled with each other and soon started fighting.

One of the centipedes stood out and devoured more than a dozen strange insects, feeling very proud.

However, after a while, the centipede began to panic.

A poisonous scorpion came swiftly.

It is not an ordinary poisonous scorpion. The color on its back is colorful and it is three inches long.

For poisonous creatures, the brighter the color and the larger the body, the more toxic they are.

What is surprising is that the colorful scorpion did not go to fight with the centipede, but seemed to be fleeing.

A golden, thumb-sized object swam quickly on the grass and suddenly landed on the back of the colorful scorpion.

Oval in shape, shining with golden luster, with slender feet and slightly wriggling tentacles, it is actually a golden silkworm!

Chen Xuan's heart moved.

This is the poisonous flame golden silkworm described in the Insect Sutra!
The poisonous flame golden silkworm crawled onto the back of the colorful poisonous scorpion, opened its red bloody mouth and was about to bite it without any hesitation.

When the five-colored poisonous scorpion noticed the golden silkworm on its back, it shook with all its strength, but failed to shake off the silkworm, and its huge scorpion tail immediately stung it.

The corner of the poisonous golden silkworm's mouth moved slightly, and it spewed out a stream of black poisonous fire, burning the colorful poisonous scorpion and making it roll around.

Afterwards, the poisonous flame golden silkworm perked up its spirit, slowly moved forward, gradually increasing its speed, and finally shot towards the colorful poisonous scorpion like a bullet.

The five-colored poisonous scorpion jumped up in pain, and black blood gushed out from the wound on its tail.

Its tail was bitten off by the golden silkworm.

The colorful poisonous scorpion without its tail is like a tiger without claws and soon becomes a meal for the poisonous golden silkworm.

After devouring the five-colored poisonous scorpion, the poisonous golden silkworm fought with the centipede again.

The centipede was well prepared. It curled up into a ball and tightly wrapped around the golden silkworm, with dozens of centipede legs wrapped around the silkworm.

The poisonous flame golden silkworm's body was entangled and unable to move, but its head miraculously turned 180 degrees, extending its sharp teeth and biting wildly. The centipede's legs were bitten off one after another and fell to the ground.

The centipede was in so much pain that it fell several times.

When it stood up again, it felt a piercing pain in its abdomen - its body was broken into two pieces.
