Chapter 492 Poisonous Cultivation Insect
“This meat is abundant in spiritual power, and it is suitable for your practice.”
After Su Li reminded him, Xuan An immediately sat up straight. His mental method revolved for a moment, and then he entered the trance state.
Su Li saw that his breath was stable and there was no danger, so she ignored him. Turning her hand, she took out more than 20 poisonous insect stones from the Black Lotus Ring, and cracked them one by one.
The centipede poisonous insect demon was quite powerful, and the poisonous stones it guarded were not ordinary stones.
Crack—
Perhaps because it was ancient, Su Li easily cracked the first poisonous insect stone without expending much effort. The inside was charred and there was no vitality. Even she could not recognize what kind of poisonous insect was inside originally.
“After all, the poisonous cultivation insect in the Qingshui Circle is somewhat different from that in the Reincarnation Mirror. It is not only of distinct grades, but also has a wide range of types, involving many aspects. It is no longer possible to distinguish the types of poisonous insects by looking at the surface of the poisonous insect stone. I wonder whether what I learned in the Reincarnation Mirror can be used to refine and impel poisonous insects.”
Many thoughts flashed through Su Li’s mind, and the second poisonous insect stone in her hand broke apart. This time, it was no longer a charred gravel, but a weak cyan turtle with a triangular sh.e.l.l, like a small hilltop.
“It turns out to be Poisonous Power Insect, but I don’t know which level it is.”
According to their levels, poisonous cultivation insects were ranked. And there were seven levels. Level one was the lowest and level seven was the highest, corresponding to the seven realms of cultivation.
Su Li recognized this poisonous insect, and her eyes brightened. Although Poisonous Power Insect was not as good as Poisonous Body Insect in poisonous cultivation insects, it was considered as a rarer poisonous insect.
Poisonous Power Insect fed on demon beasts. Su Li happened to collect a lot of centipede poisonous insect demons’ flesh. She took out a few pieces and threw them over. The slow cyan turtle immediately crawled quickly. It bit into the meat and tried its best to swallow.
Su Li put it aside when she saw the scene. Then she cracked the remaining poisonous insect stones together, and got three identical cyan turtles. They seemed to starve to death, and Su Li couldn’t tell the grade.
Su Li threw out a large piece of raw meat for the four little turtles to eat, and then absorbed the Mushui spiritual jades on the side.
Although the demon meat in the universe ring was not much, it was the best part of the poisonous insect demon’s body, which was enough to feed these poisonous insects for a long time.
It was silent for a night.
In the early morning of the next day, Xuan An woke up slowly from the trance state. Looking inside his body, he suddenly found that the originally strong Jindan had cracked a few cracks. If he worked hard for a few days, he could break through the Jindan Realm and reach Yuanying Realm.
“What powerful demon meat!”
Xuan An was stunned secretly. Jiuli Region had no shortage of poisonous insect demon meat, but he had never heard that people could use it as a spiritual soup to a.s.sist practice. This was probably Su Jiuzhou’s unique secret skill!
When Xuan An thought that Su Jiuzhou even used such a precious secret skill in front of him without any concealment, he was moved and opened his eyes to look at his side.
Then he was surprised.
Why were there four turtles beside the bonfire?
Why was the senior sister apprentice missing?
“You’re awake.”
Su Li’s voice suddenly came from behind, and Xuan An shuddered with fright. When he turned around, he saw Su Li approaching with a few lively strange fishes.
“You can’t practice too hastily. You ate that poisonous insect demon meat yesterday, but you can’t eat it again today, lest your body can’t absorb it, and your foundation is damaged.”
After saying that, Su Li put the processed fish on the shelf and continued talking, “These fish have some toxicity. You will feel a bit painful after eating, but they will wipe out the influence of the poisonous insect demon meat in your body. After they are done, you must eat all of them.”
Xuan An nodded again and again. When he glanced at the strange fish with sharp teeth in its mouth, he swallowed in horror.
Could he really eat the poisonous fish in the Jindan Realm?
Although his heart trembled, he still trusted Su Li unconditionally and tried to figure out how to eat them later.
At this time—
Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum!
Several halos appeared on the surface of four cyan turtles standing still by the bonfire in succession. The smallest one had four halos, and all of the rest had three halos.
“Level-4 poisonous insect?!”
Xuan An’s eyes widened, and he exclaimed, “Senior Sister Apprentice, are these…”
“Uh huh.” When Su Li held up the only level-4 poisonous insect, the little cyan turtle awkwardly rubbed Su Li’s fingertips. Then her cold face showed a smile.
The poisonous insect method learned in the Reincarnation Mirror was useful, otherwise these poisonous insects would never be awakened. They would have died when she cracked the poisonous insect stones.
“Senior Sister Apprentice even knows poisonous insect method…”
Xuan An muttered to himself. He was completely absent-minded.
In the Jiuli Region, many people knew the poisonous cultivation insect, but very few people really knew poisonous insect method! Even in their Jiguang Sect, only a very old Grand Elder knew a little about it.
As for himself, he knew a little about poisonous insect. He could only recognize the Poisonous Insect Ring, and he didn’t even know the kind of poisonous insect in Su Li’s hands.
When Xuan An was stunned, Su Li had another movement in her hands.
She picked up the other three level-3 poisonous insects and whispered an obscure spell. Then Xuan An saw that level-4 poisonous insect suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed three level-3 poisonous insects. It swallowed them very quickly and didn’t even spill the blood.
At the same time, level-4 poisonous insect exuded a mysterious pneuma, and a new halo phantom faintly appeared outside the halos on its body surface.
“What’s this… Is it possible that the level-4 poisonous insect reaches a new level?”
Xuan An looked at it with a dazed expression and was completely unable to understand what Su Li was doing.
Poisonous insects were very capable of digesting. After only a moment, the pneuma of reaching a new level disappeared, and at the same time, the phantom on its body surface was fixed but not solid.
“Extremity of level 4.”
Su Li frowned for a moment and then relaxed.
She learned the method of combining poisonous insects from her first life in the Reincarnation Mirror, which needed to use three poisonous insects of the same level to fuse into a higher rank of poisonous insect. But the ranks of four poisonous insects in front of her weren’t obviously high enough. She used tricks to achieve such an effect, which already reached the limit. She should be satisfied.
Thinking of this, Su Li smiled and pinched the poisonous insect in her hand. When she shook it slightly, she immediately felt that her strength had increased a little, but it was not obvious.
“After my physical body awakened the evil ghost in the Ghost Region and was refined by a lot of thunder, it has broken the extremity and is much the same as in nature’s test. The level-4 poisonous insect is still too low for me.”
Su Li sighed secretly and untied the imprint. Then she threw the Poisonous Power Insect to Xuan An.
“Senior Sister Apprentice, this…”
Xuan An was immediately flattered while holding the little turtle in both hands. He didn’t know what to say for a while.
He couldn’t understand why Su Jiuzhou was so considerate to him as they met by chance.
When she killed Gui Qi at that day, he could see that this woman was definitely not as kind as she looked. She was more like a cruel-hearted female cultivator from an evil cult. However, she was very gentle to him.
He was not a heartless person. Her gentilesse made him feel under a deep pressure, and made him…inexplicably frightened.
“Take it.”
Su Li was a human for two lives, and she could understand what Xuan An was thinking. She said nonchalantly, “This thing is useless to me. Although your cultivation doesn’t match it, if you use it well, it is also a life-saving weapon. I broke your sword rune, so this can be regarded as the compensation for you. However, compared to that sword rune, this thing’s grade is probably much lower.”
She looked at Xuan An gently, as if she was looking at Su Yue’s dead son in the Reincarnation Mirror.
She still didn’t want to understand the true and false things in the Reincarnation Mirror. Some things had become obsessions in her heart.
Since she could meet the son of Xuan Jingzhou again in this life, even if he was an enemy, she would make up for what she owed to him in her previous life.
Although such behavior was selfish, she…was selfish originally.
Thinking of this, Su Li smiled more, but Xuan An felt a bit of bitterness inexplicably, so he couldn’t bear to refuse Su Li anymore. He only took it and said stupidly, “Senior Sister Apprentice, you are so kind to me, like my mother.”
“Is your mother so kind to you?”
Su Li asked casually. Xuan An naturally nodded and said, “Yes! My mother is very fierce to my father, but she is good to me! Otherwise, since I was so slack in my practice, I would have been caught by my father and sent back to confinement.”
Su Li couldn’t help thinking of Su Yue’s face in her mind, and smiled lightly, “It turns out that Lord of Jiguang Sect is fearful of his wife.”
“Yes!”
Xuan An raised his head, “My father doesn’t dare to disobey my mother’s order. Back then, my mother was an icy beauty who was famous in Jiuli Region. My father tried his best to marry with her. Naturally, he cherished her very much.”
Su Li nodded and didn’t want to say more. Then she extinguished the bonfire, took down the poisonous fish roasted on the bonfire, and handed it to Xuan An.
Xuan An grimaced immediately.
Two hours later—
Xuan An’s eyes were dull. He lay on the ground like a dead dog. He was motionless and sweating profusely with a strong stench.
Was this a little bit of pain?
It was even more terrifying than confinement!
“Senior Sister Apprentice, you are too cruel. Even my father has never treated me like this!”
He barely got up and sat, looking at Su Li who was absorbing Mushui spiritual jade with a grimace.
Then Su Li opened her eyes and waved her sleeve.
Ah—
Xuan An yelled. He turned into a flying trapeze and was thrown into the lake. The stench dispersed. In an instant, many fish’s bellies rose up and emerged from the water.
“Wash your body well. Your body is mixed with poison, and it will take an hour to blend into your body. If you don’t wash it, don’t blame others for being poisoned later.”
Xuan An finally swam out of the water. When he heard what Su Li said from afar, he trembled fiercely in his heart. Having no time to be afraid of demons in the lake, he immediately thrashed around to take a bath.
Su Li withdrew the tactical matrix and stood by the lake with her hands at the back, looking at Xuan An calmly.
He was protected by Xuan Jingzhou too well and hardly suffered. If he continued like this, although his talent was good, it was difficult to make great achievements. If the Jiguang Sect was destroyed, he would die.
Thus, she needed to be a villain and train him well.
An hour later, Xuan An climbed up the bank with a bitter face. Then he put on his clothes and sat aside with a grimace, but he was extremely grateful to Su Li in his heart.
At this moment, there was Yuanying in his pubic region, instead of Jindan.
He understood very well that it would take at least two hundred years if he wanted to reach the Yuanying Realm by relying solely on his own practice.
But with the help of this senior sister apprentice, he shortened these two hundred years to just a few days. Besides, his foundation was solidified. He had no worries.
Seeing that Xuan An acted like a child, Su Li couldn’t help but laugh. She said helplessly, “Come here. I will teach you how to use Poisonous Power Insect.”
