Chapter 1873 – Gold Eating Insect King
”It can be said to be useful or useless. It depends on the Spirit Bug Master’s intentions!” The Void Spirit changed its previous cold color and said with a smile on its face.
”Intentions?” Han Li was somewhat puzzled under a flash of his gaze.
”Not bad, if you only wish to cultivate mature spirit worms, then this Styx River Spirit Milk will naturally have no effect on these spirit worms. But if you want to go further, this River Styx Spirit Milk is an indispensable thing.” The old man said with deep meaning.
”Further?” Han Li seemed to recall something, a surprised expression appearing on his face.
”Not bad. The specific details will be explained to you in detail by the old man in a moment. Never would I have thought that you would also have mature-bodied Gold Devouring Insects in your hands, in which case, the ownership of these Stygian River Spirit Milk is instead a secondary matter. I want to talk to you about another deal. However, this matter is more secretive and needs to be discussed separately. Golden Flame, Qing Yuanzi, you two don’t mind, do you!” The Void Spirit old man first spoke to Han Li in a pleasant manner, but in the end, he spoke at the Qing Yuanzi duo with a calm demeanor.
Although his expression appeared calm, his words were filled with a meaning that would not allow these two to refuse.
”As long as Fellow Daoist isn’t buying and selling by force, I naturally won’t mind.” As soon as Qing Yuanzi looked at the ray of cold light in the old man’s eyes, he said with a great sense of awe in his heart.
”I won’t mind either! Brother Void Spirit, just go ahead.” Golden Flame Waiter also said with a smile.
”That’s good. Then old me will be rude!” The Void Spirit old man was obviously satisfied with the reply of the two of them, and immediately after nodding, he suddenly opened his mouth, and a black light flashed, and a half-foot tall miniature attic was actually sprayed out.
This attic body black, the surface all over the printing of various colors of runes, under the dense, and was a layer of light black gas shrouded the whole body. Appears to be mysterious!
”Little friend Han, bring your Gold Devouring Insects and go to the old man’s Black Wind Pavilion to catch up.” The old man turned his head and spoke after transforming the pavilion into a ten foot tall building with a single pinch of his hand.
Then he didn’t care whether Han Li agreed or not, under a dance of his sleeves, he collected his own Gold Devouring Insects, and then his body shape quickly shrunk, turning into an inch-high villain that flickered and disappeared into the attic.
”Two seniors, the late generation also first apologize.” Even though Han Li was greatly apprehensive in his heart, he knew that it was impossible not to follow him there, and could only say with a bitter smile at the Qing Yuanzi duo.
”Well, Little Friend Han is relieved to go over there and leave. Since Brother Void Spirit had made a promise earlier, he naturally won’t do anything out of character again. However, if the conditions are not excessive. It would be better for little friend to agree to it.” Qing Yuanzi’s brows frowned slightly underneath as he barked out a few words.
”Many thanks to Senior Jiang for mentioning it, junior knows how to do it.” Han Li replied back in a deep voice, collecting the dozen or so golden beetles in front of him and shooting into the attic as well, transforming into a green thread.
The moment Han Li also entered, the entire attic instantly tumbled with black gas, isolating all contact with the outside world.
”Brother Jiang, are you really not worried? Although this old monster is sometimes crazy, his great magical abilities are no fake. In case it really does do something to Little Friend Han inside, you and I won’t be able to stop it in time.” The Golden Flame Waiter suddenly moved his lips slightly and transmitted a voice to Qing Yuanzi.
”Fellow Daoist Golden Flame filtered it. Although the old monster is a bit overbearing, there really hasn’t been any previous cases of breaking promises since he interacted with us. That should be reassuring. Moreover, because I owe Little Friend Han a not-so-small favor, although I want to take care of him a little more. But also in the case of what can be done, and do not want to really offend this old monster. Otherwise, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to have a place to stay in this land of the River Styx.” Qing Yuanzi returned without moving.
”That’s true. I’m afraid that the old monster has the power to defend himself even in the face of a True Spirit. We are far inferior to it. However, even though that Gold Devouring Insect is rare in the world, it doesn’t need to have such a strong reaction at first sight. Besides, doesn’t he himself have the same spirit insect, so Brother Jiang might have guessed something from it?” After the Golden Flame Waiter nodded, he suddenly asked again.
”How could Mister Jiang be that capable of even guessing the old monster’s thoughts. Mostly, Little Friend Han’s Gold Devouring Insect should be of some use to it.” Qing Yuanzi’s gaze flickered, but he said vaguely with a snort.
”Is that so?” The corners of the Golden Flame Waiter’s mouth twitched only a bit before he seemed to smile.
Qing Yuanzi, however, smiled faintly and no longer interjected anything.
Meanwhile, in the first floor hall of that black attic, Han Li and the old man, whose figures had become smaller, were conversing.
”Little friend Han, have a seat, this Black Wind Pavilion of mine is also considered half a spatial treasure. Not only can it be as big or small as you wish, it can also isolate all detection in the world, and no third person’s divine thoughts can ever invade this place.” The old man sat on his butt in the first place in a grand manner and said to Han Li with a smile.
”Many thanks senior, then the latecomer is not polite.” Han Li gave a respectful salute and also sat down on a chair at the bottom.
”Before I negotiate a deal with you, I need to confirm one thing before I do so. Little friend Han, roughly how many mature body Gold Devouring Insects can you have in your hands, is it possible to tell the old man an accurate number.” The old man asked with difficulty pressing the excitement in his heart.
”Accurate number ……,” Han Li’s face changed slightly when he heard this, and he couldn’t help but hesitate greatly.
”Oh, what the old man just asked was somewhat reckless. The terrifying degree of the Gold Devouring Insects mainly depends on their numbers, and the exact number is indeed not good to divulge too much. How about this, fellow Daoist only needs to tell me if the number of your Spirit Insects exceeds five thousand.” After the old man was stunned for a moment, he suddenly became somewhat dazed and immediately changed his question.
However, as soon as these words were asked, the virtual spirit’s gaze at Han Li immediately showed a hint of nervousness.
Obviously, Han Li’s answer was different, and it had a great deal to do with itself.
”Yes,” Han Li heard, his mind quickly turning, or honestly returned.
Although he preferred to say the word “no” in one breath. But to really can’t let the foreigner in front of him get a satisfactory answer, who knows if the other side will suddenly turn the other cheek, will go out to restrain him to personally verify what he said.
After all, there are times when lies are fragile in front of real strength.
”There are more than five thousand of them, good, very good. In that case, I’ll be able to make this great deal with fellow Daoist.” The Void Spirit was overjoyed and said several “good” words under his breath.
”The deal that senior mentioned, could it be that it has something to do with the number of Gold Devouring Insects that junior has?” Han Li asked after a moment’s hesitation.
”Of course there is a relationship! It’s because old me wants to ask for 5,000 mature-bodied Gold Devouring Insects from my little friend. As for the price, as long as the old man has something, just open your mouth and the old man will never bargain.” The old man rubbed his two hands together as his eyes glowed and he spoke words that startled Han Li.
”Five thousand Gold Devouring Insects?” Although his heart was vaguely anticipating it, when he really heard the other side say it, Han Li’s face changed, revealing a look of surprise.
”This transaction, senior, is also too difficult for the juniors. Even though 5,000 mature-bodied Gold Devouring Insects are not all the Spirit Insects cultivated by seniors, they definitely account for nine out of ten. Elder Junior also wants to wait until later on in case he advances to Mahayana and use these Gold Devouring Insects as a killer copper against the enemy in the future.”
”Well, the high value of so many mature-bodied Gold Devouring Insects is indeed rare in the world. But as long as there is value, it can always be exchanged. Other than that, the several types of spirit insects that the old man didn’t take out earlier, there are two or three of them that are not below your Gold Devouring Insects in terms of their great fame. There is also that Xuan Heavenly Remnant Treasure, the value of which I’m afraid is even more above the 5,000 Gold Devouring Insects.” The smile on the old man’s face converged, and his face suddenly turned slightly cold as he said.
”Senior is joking. Those Spirit Insects that were not taken out are all seniors’ innate Spirit Insects. As for that Xuan Heavenly Remnant Treasure, even though senior’s heart is extremely moved, he would never dare to ask for it. Otherwise, if senior wants this kind of treasure, I’m afraid that he won’t be able to enjoy it in the future. In this way, the senior can first to the late generation to divulge one or two want so many gold-devouring insects intention. How about making a decision later? The late generation heart is also a little strange, these gold-devouring insects have been the late generation has long been recognized by the cultivation of many years, seniors even if you want to go, I’m afraid that it is not used to drive against the enemy it. And in terms of quantity, and the exact number of five thousand. This makes it even more somewhat baffling to the late generation.” Han Li pondered for a moment, as if extremely helpless, and slowly said.
”…… Hmph, you’re not so timid as to dare to pry into the old man’s affairs in turn!” The Void Spirit Elder let out a cold snort, his eyebrows inverted all of a sudden, his face covered with a layer of frost to.
”Elder forgive me! After all, so many Gold Devouring Insects have been cultivated to maturity, I don’t know how much effort my seniors have spent on them, and they are usually treated as if they were alive. If we don’t figure out the approximate purpose for which senior will be taking them, I’m afraid that it will be difficult for senior to easily take them out and hand them over to others.” This time, Han Li said in an unusually insistent manner.
”Heh heh, what you’re saying does have some truth to it. Alright, the old man can tell you the approximate purpose for wanting these Gold Devouring Insects. But once you’ve heard it, you’re not allowed to refuse this transaction. Otherwise ……,” the Void Spirit Elder said back with a smile once again after his eyes turned slightly.
”Good, the late generation can promise.” After Han Li’s face clouded over for a while, he finally took a deep breath and agreed.
”Haha, young friend Han, this is the wise choice! Listen carefully, these Gold Devouring Insects that the old man wants from you are intended to cultivate that rumored Gold Devouring Insect King. And the way to give birth to this Insect King is to require a large number of mature-bodied Gold Devouring Insects in order to do so. As for why I need five thousand, it’s because I already have another five thousand mature Gold Devouring Insects in my hand. The two together are more than enough for me to cultivate the Bug King. It would be useless for me to ask for more.” The old man finally spoke a reason that made Han Li’s heart thump.
”King of Insects! Then the senior’s earlier collection of Styx River Spirit Milk was ……” Han Li’s face changed and he couldn’t help but ask again offhandedly.
”A large amount of Styx River Spirit Milk is naturally one of the means to cultivate the Bug King. However, if there is a sufficient number of mature-bodied Gold Devouring Insects, this condition is inconsequential.” The Void Spirit Elder returned without hesitation.
