Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 154: Chapter 109: Obtaining the Ancient Strange Insect—Six-winged Poison Bee_2

Of course, as a beast cultivator, one can contract not only one spirit beast, but multiple spirit beasts.

However, regardless of the circumstances, a top-tier spirit beast will provide her with immense help.

Originally, she thought that if she couldn’t find a top-tier spirit beast, finding an ordinary spirit beast would suffice.

At least start somewhere first.

Once her cultivation becomes stronger in the future, it won’t be too late to contract other top-tier spirit beasts.

Who would have thought that her husband would silently help her find a top-tier spirit beast?

And it’s a legendary ancient strange insect, truly unfathomable, a shower of destiny indeed.

”Indeed, you should first contract this ancient strange insect.”

”It should be the Queen Bee.”

”Once successfully contracted, it’s equivalent to obtaining a massive beehive.”

”Moreover, it’s very easy to nurture them.”

”Just let them live in the wild, and they will naturally find the food suitable for themselves.”

Jiang Fan thought that these Six-winged Poison Bees were simply one of the most suitable spirit beasts for Su Weiwei.

Initially, he was pondering which spirit beast would suit Su Weiwei, but unexpectedly, this Seventh-Grade Opportunity resolved his dilemma.

With the help of the Six-winged Poison Bees, even if Jiang Fan is not by Su Weiwei’s side, she wouldn’t face too much danger.

”Husband.”

Su Weiwei gazed at Jiang Fan affectionately.

As their emotions deepened, they moved to the bedroom.

Soon, their silhouettes intertwined, the bed swayed, and sounds echoed throughout the room.

Days later.

Su Weiwei successfully contracted the ancient strange insect, Six-winged Poison Bee.

If other beast cultivators attempt to contract the Six-winged Poison Bee, it wouldn’t be an easy task.

There might be backlash from the Six-winged Poison Bee’s power.

But as someone possessing the Taiyin Virgin Body, Su Weiwei nurtures an immense amount of Taiyin Qi within.

For the Six-winged Poison Bee, this Qi is simply a nourishing supplement.

Both complement each other perfectly.

Therefore, she effortlessly contracted this Six-winged Poison Bee.

However, for now, it’s still in the larval state.

It still requires some time to completely mature.

As such, its current utility is limited.

Nonetheless, once the Six-winged Poison Bee fully matures, Su Weiwei’s combat power will undoubtedly be terrifying, ensuring her rise as a renowned beast cultivator.

Thud Thud!

Just then, as Jiang Fan and Su Weiwei were cultivating in their home, they suddenly heard chaotic and loud sounds coming from outside the shanty town.

”What’s happening?”

Upon hearing these sounds, Jiang Fan immediately left the wooden house to investigate.

After all, any disturbance in the shanty town could potentially impact the future.

”It’s bad; the Crimson Flame Iron Ore Vein has undergone a massive upheaval.”

”Originally, the cleansing operation by the Great Sun Sword Sect was very smooth.”

”It seemed they would successfully purge the demon beasts and demon fiends from the entire vein.”

”Who could have imagined that deep within the vein, a Tier Two demon fiend—the Cyan-faced Demon Fiend—was lurking.”

”As a result, the entire vein was enveloped by terrifying evil qi.”

”Three Foundation Establishment Elders of the Great Sun Sword Sect couldn’t withstand the Cyan-faced Demon Fiend; one fell, two were severely injured.”

”The remaining loose cultivators, invaded by evil qi, either died or were injured, suffering a crushing defeat.”

Someone immediately recounted the event.

Undoubtedly, this was a major setback for the exploration action at the Crimson Flame Iron Ore Vein.

It severely thwarted the Great Sun Sword Sect’s plans.

This plan not only severely injured many loose cultivators but also dealt a significant blow to the Great Sun Sword Sect.

It resulted in the death of many cultivators from the Great Sun Sword Sect.

After all, under the collapse, there are no intact eggs.

”If that’s the case, does this mean the Great Sun Sword Sect will abandon this exploration action?”

Someone couldn’t help asking.

”Haha, how could they abandon it?”

”The Great Sun Sword Sect invested so many resources; if they were to completely abandon it, wouldn’t all their initial investments be for nothing?”

”Exactly so. As far as I know, Han Zhiguang, a Foundation Establishment Elder of the Great Sun Sword Sect, has already reported this matter to the main sect, requesting reinforcements. It’s clear that the Great Sun Sword Sect is determined to succeed this time.”

”However, in the short term, before reinforcements arrive, the Great Sun Sword Sect should refrain from acting rashly.”

”So, in the short term, aren’t we safe?”

Many people expressed their joy.

After all, they didn’t wish to venture into the Crimson Flame Iron Ore Vein and take risks.

The gains were too few, while the risks were too high.

If not coerced by the Great Sun Sword Sect, they would never participate in this exploration action.

”Haha, it’s not that simple.”

”As they say, a single feather stirs the entire body.”

”Since they have heavily provoked the Tier Two demon fiend, now the demon fiends from the surrounding forests have thoroughly rebelled.”

”Some loose cultivators, after entering the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, encounter demon fiends even in broad daylight.”

”In recent days, many loose cultivators have fallen victim to demon fiends, dying prematurely.”

Someone remarked rather helplessly.

After all, the number of demon fiends within the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range is overwhelming, virtually inexhaustible.

Once they begin rioting, it won’t subside in the short term.

In the past, throughout the Cyan Forest Market’s hundred-year history, countless lives have been lost with each demon fiend riot.

”Oh no, if that’s the case, we urgently need to buy Exorcism Talismans.”

”Without Exorcism Talismans, it’s impossible to resist the demon fiends.”

Many were visibly alarmed.

They are acutely aware of the terrifying nature of demon fiends; they’re intangible and formless, akin to a whiff of smoke.

Ordinary means are incapable of harming demon fiends.

Without the methods to counteract demon fiends, one might be invaded by evil qi.

Severely, it could lead to being possessed by demon fiends, transforming into puppets under their control.

Only the power of Exorcism Talismans can fend off the invasion of demon fiends.

They’re akin to life-saving charms for loose cultivators.

”Haha, you didn’t have to say it, many loose cultivators have already gone to purchase Exorcism Talismans.”

”Currently, the price for Exorcism Talismans is skyrocketing.”

”A single middle-grade Exorcism Talisman has already reached the price of twenty Spirit Stones.”

Someone laughed coldly.

”How could it be so expensive? It’s doubled in price?”

This remark left many loose cultivators dumbfounded; under usual circumstances, the price of middle-grade Exorcism Talismans is only ten Spirit Stones. Yet, it has now soared to twenty Spirit Stones, which is utterly outrageous.

”Too expensive? This is just the beginning.”

”No matter how costly the price is, is it more valuable than your life?”

”From what I know, the price of Exorcism Talismans could further escalate.”

”Reaching thirty Spirit Stones, fifty Spirit Stones per piece are very possible.”

Someone shook their head.

After all, currently, hordes of demon fiends are rioting, and they could attack the shanty town at any moment.

Without the protection of Exorcism Talismans, one might be killed by demon fiends in the dead of night.

For the sake of survival, even at exorbitant prices, Exorcism Talismans must be bought.

”You’re right.”

”Regardless, purchasing an Exorcism Talisman is necessary.”

Many loose cultivators were anxious.

They rushed into the market, hoping to buy Exorcism Talismans.

Unfortunately, when they arrived at the market, they discovered Exorcism Talismans had already been snapped clean.

Even with Spirit Stones, they couldn’t purchase them.

A group of loose cultivators gathered at the Talisman Pavilion, hoping the shopkeeper could sell Exorcism Talismans.

”There’s nothing I can do; the number of Exorcism Talismans available on regular days is limited, so we didn’t stock up much.”

”Even if other middle-grade talisman masters work overtime to refine them, it’s impossible to produce many.”

”Because refining Exorcism Talismans is highly challenging.”

”They must be refined at midday, to capture the Sun Essence Qi of noon, imbuing the Exorcism Talismans with a trace of Supreme Yang and Firm power. Only this can harm demon fiends.”

”The problem is achieving this is extremely difficult; capturing the Sun Essence Qi is not an easy feat. Even for middle-grade talisman masters, a slight oversight could result in the destruction of the talisman.”

”Generally, each middle-grade talisman master’s success rate in refining Exorcism Talismans doesn’t exceed one-tenth.”

”Moreover, the daily refining window is merely a quarter of an hour at noon; if missed, one can only try again the next day.”

”Therefore, even if our pavilion’s middle-grade talisman masters exert full effort, only a limited quantity can be refined each day.”

The shopkeeper of the Talisman Pavilion said helplessly.

After all, the difficulty gap between lower-grade and middle-grade talismans is stark, with middle-grade complexities many times greater.

This is why there are many lower-grade talisman masters in Cyan Forest Market, but middle-grade talisman masters are scarce.

Once one reaches this realm, they can establish themselves in Cyan Forest Market.

”This.”

Listening to this, the loose cultivators felt even more despair.
