Warning! A hidden dragon has emerged!

The old woman's name was Miao Cuihua, and she was the fifth elder of the Gu Poison Sect.

He had been stationed at the Bingzhu Cave for decades, devoting his entire life to taming the Gu King, but he had never succeeded.

Now that the Gu Poison Cult is on the verge of destruction, she no longer wants to risk her life for it and wants to take a gamble and try her luck.

Qin Quan saw through her thoughts but didn't point them out. Instead, he turned and gave Lin Wanrou a wink.

"Go and give it a try."

"Can I?"

Lin Wanrou felt uneasy and was clearly hesitant.

She possesses a pure Yin constitution, making her an extremely valuable tonic for Gu worms.

She feared that if the Gu worms were not tamed, they would instead bring trouble upon herself.

Qin Quan gently patted her shoulder, encouraging her:

"Raising Gu is like taming a beast. If you control it properly, you can use it for your own benefit. If you control it improperly, you will suffer a backlash... With me here to protect you, you can rest assured."

"To have such profound understanding at such a young age, a genius!"

Miao Cuihua's eyes flashed with surprise, and she felt even more that these two juniors were exceptionally talented.

Qin Quan smiled calmly and offered no explanation.

Back when he was at Yuquan Temple on Ziyun Mountain, he had read about the art of raising and controlling Gu poison from the ancient books in the temple, and today he was putting what he had learned to good use.

"Senior, what does the Gu King look like?"

Qin Quan went straight to the point, targeting the Gu King.

"Its body is plump like a cicada, with six wings on its back, and its entire body is dark gold. Its chirping sound is deep and different from that of ordinary Gu."

Miao Cuihua accurately described the form of the Gu King.

Qin Quan and Lin Wanrou immediately split up and began searching carefully among the thousands of Gu worms.

However, he still couldn't find a Gu worm that suited him, nor could he find any trace of the Gu King with its dark gold six wings.

Just then!

suddenly……

A sharp whistling sound suddenly rang out!

Whoosh!

A plump, dark golden Gu worm flapped its wings and flew in at great speed, heading straight for Lin Wanrou's brow.

"It's it! It's the Golden Cicada, the King of Gu!"

Miao Cuihua shuddered, her hands trembling slightly with excitement as she stared intently at the golden insect shadow.

Upon hearing the sound, Qin Quan stepped forward to block Lin Wanrou's side, his eyes shining, his voice like thunder.

"Boss lady, quickly activate your pure Yin energy to nourish it, so it will recognize you as its master as soon as possible!"

"good!"

Without hesitation, Lin Wanrou immediately mobilized the pure Yin spiritual energy within her body, releasing it in wisps to gently envelop the flying Gu King.

The moment the pure Yin energy overflowed, Miao Cuihua's expression changed drastically, her eyes widened like copper bells, filled with horror.

Pure Yin Body! Pure Yin Qi!

She suddenly realized what was happening and let out a low growl.

"You...you are not my disciples!"

Qin Quan shielded Lin Wanrou behind him, his posture upright, all gentleness gone from his eyes, leaving only mockery and cold sarcasm.

"You're only realizing it now? You're not too stupid."

"How dare you deceive this old woman! I will tear you to pieces!"

The deception was completely exposed, and Miao Cuihua was furious, her murderous intent soaring, and the evil aura of Gu poison around her exploded.

Her eyes widened in anger, and she suddenly swung her withered wooden cane, creating a fierce gust of wind, aiming straight for Qin Quan's face.

At the same time, he rapidly chanted the Gu incantation.

In an instant, all the dormant Gu worms in the cave were awakened.

Buzz!

Countless swarms of Gu worms surged forth, layer upon layer, blotting out the sky and the sun, like ferocious bees leaving their hive, surrounding the two from all directions, intent on devouring them completely.

Qin Quan stood firmly in front of Lin Wanrou without retreating a single step, his expression indifferent, completely disregarding the swarm of insects and Miao Cuihua's attack.

With a flick of his fingertips, two fire-controlling talismans were instantly thrown out.

Boom! Boom!

Two eerie blue flames suddenly exploded, instantly illuminating the dark cave.

Any Gu worm that touches the raging flames has no chance to struggle and is instantly burned to ashes by the pure Yang true fire, turning into specks of light that scatter across the ground.

The swarm of insects was cleared away in an instant, with most of them gone.

Miao Cuihua was shocked; she hadn't expected this young man to be so capable.

Not only is he powerful, but he also knows Taoist magic.

But she dared not slow her attack in the slightest, and her cane slammed down with tremendous force, her killing intent chilling.

"Die!"

In her view, this blow was unstoppable and could smash the arrogant young man in front of her into a pulp.

But in the next instant, Qin Quan raised his hand and precisely locked the staff, his five fingers tightly clasped, remaining completely still.

Before Miao Cuihua could react, he suddenly exerted force with his wrist, pulling and pushing her in the opposite direction!

Whoosh!

The immense force pierced through the staff, and Miao Cuihua couldn't hold it at all. The withered wooden cane flew out of her hand and slammed into the hard cave wall, penetrating three-tenths of an inch into the stone.

The violent recoil tore the skin and flesh of her hands apart, leaving them bloody and numb. Her arms were weak and numb, and even raising her hands was excruciatingly painful.

Miao Cuihua froze, her face filled with horror, staring intently at Qin Quan.

They are far more powerful than anyone else.

"Who exactly are you?"

Qin Quan looked down at her with a playful glint in his eyes.

"You dare trespass into your Gu Poison Sect's forbidden territory in the dead of night? Who do you think I am?"

"I'll spare your life since you didn't fight to the bitter end or deliberately cause trouble."

Qin Quan's voice was slightly cold as he gave his conditions.

"Bring the remaining Gu worms from the cave and pledge your allegiance to me, hand over the Gu Scripture, and I can guarantee your safety."

Miao Cuihua trembled with fear, instantly realizing the situation.

The Gu Poison Sect was already doomed, and she had no intention of dying with them. Now that she was no match for Qin Quan, surrendering was her only way to survive.

Without the slightest hesitation, she nodded immediately.

"I am willing to surrender! I only beg you to spare my life; I will serve you at your command!"

The moment she bowed her head in submission, a faint buzzing sound suddenly rang out.

The six-winged Gu King, which had been nestled around Lin Wanrou and absorbing her pure Yin energy, seemed to have smelled a delicious treat. It flapped its wings and flew away, immediately abandoning Lin Wanrou's pure Yin spiritual energy and heading straight for Qin Quan.

Lin Wanrou suddenly opened her eyes, her face full of astonishment, and her heart tightened for no reason.

"It...it doesn't want to acknowledge me as its master?"

"It's alright, I'll give it a try."

Just as Qin Quan was about to mobilize his spiritual energy, the Golden Cicada Gu transformed into a stream of light, instantly teleporting to the back of his neck, disappearing directly under his skin along the skin's texture.

The speed was incredibly fast, so fast that no one could react in time.

Qin Quan stood there, stunned.

A pact was instantly formed in the darkness; one person and one Gu, their hearts in perfect harmony, a bond formed naturally.

Miao Cuihua was stunned on the spot, her whole body trembling slightly.

She devoted her entire life to taming and nourishing the Gu King day and night, spending decades trying to tame and nurture him, but the Gu King never even glanced at her.

Qin Quan did nothing at all; he simply stood there and the unruly Gu King willingly acknowledged him as its master.

Such incredible luck is simply unbelievable!

It took Qin Quan a long while to come to his senses.

"So what you're really after is my pure yang energy."

The pure yang energy emanating from his body when he burned the insects and repelled the old woman was the true ultimate tonic for the Gu King.

This little guy is incredibly shrewd. He temporarily transitions to pure yin energy, and as soon as he senses pure yang energy, he immediately chooses a master to stay with.

He turned to look at Lin Wanrou, who looked aggrieved, and spread his hands with a hint of helplessness.

"Boss lady, it's really not my fault. It stuck to me on its own, there's nothing I can do about it."

"I saw it!"

Lin Wanrou puffed out her cheeks, glared at him angrily, turned around in a huff, and strode quickly out of the cave.

……

Meanwhile, on the battlefield in front of the Gu Poison Sect.

It was almost four in the morning, and the night was deep.

Jiang Yao and Xie Bi'an led their team to lie in wait for a long time, but they still couldn't get a signal from Qin Quan, and everyone gradually became anxious.

Xie Bi'an lowered his voice, sounding somewhat apprehensive.

"Team Leader Jiang, there's been no word from Team Leader Qin. Could something have happened?"

"Shut up!"

Jiang Yao glared at him coldly and said firmly:

"Even if our entire team is wiped out, he'll be fine."

"With such terrifying combat power, how could a Martial Emperor easily be defeated by a mere Gu Poison Sect?"

She had an obsessive confidence in Qin Quan's abilities.
