Chapter 177: The Worm Master, List of Ancient Strange Insects

The road leading to the Yin Qi Valley was littered with white bones.

Around them, there are many remaining fragments of magic weapons, top-grade spiritual tools, etc.

Because so many years have passed, the spiritual power in these things has completely disappeared.

At this moment, everything is dim and can no longer be used.

Judging from the direction these bodies fell.

When they were alive, they must have suffered a horrific attack and fled in panic towards the entrance of the Yinqi Valley.

But without exception, they all fell on the road just a few miles away from the exit.

“Although I don’t know who these people were when they were alive, after they died, they all turned into piles of bones.”

"I don't know them at all, but now that I have met them, I can't just stand by and watch."

Chen Xuan stood beside these bones for a long time, and his mood became extremely complicated.

The world of immortal cultivators is cruel and ruthless.

Many cultivators go out to search for rare treasures and never return.

Among them, a large number of people, like the bones in front of us, died on the way to treasure hunting.

Chen Xuan asked himself, although he was fine for the time being, who knows, one day he might end up like these people, dying in some unknown valley.

Chen Xuan also didn't want his body to be abandoned in the wilderness.

hum!

With a flick of his finger in the air, Chen Xuan casually activated several ice cones as thick as bowls.

In an instant, these ice cones smashed several deep pits in the ground.

Chen Xuan squatted down, collected all the bones, buried them in a deep pit, and asked the Red-tailed Scorpion King to fill the pit.

After doing all this, Chen Xuan's eyes fell on the things they left behind.

Although it is unknown how long these corpses have existed in the Yin Qi Valley.

Even the spiritual energy in many fragments of magical weapons and top-grade spiritual tools disappeared completely.

There are still many people whose storage bags are left behind.

"I buried the bones for you. Your storage bags are my reward."

Chen Xuan explained and casually pointed his finger at several storage bags in front of him.

Wow!

The shriveled spiritual herbs and spiritual weapons that had lost their spiritual power fell to the ground.

These things, even if they are intact, are of no value to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan lost all interest in these things after his divine sense swept over them.

As soon as his divine sense fell on the two jade slips, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"From the marks left on these two jade slips, it seems that they are the jade slips used by the immortal cultivators of my Yuling Sect."

"Could it be that a senior from my Yuling Sect also died here?"

Chen Xuan frowned, and his interest suddenly increased.

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that these two jade slips have remained so intact after such a long time is enough to show their extraordinaryness.

Chen Xuan naturally would not miss the opportunity to explore the jade slip.

hum!

His divine thoughts quickly fell on the two jade slips.

It took Chen Xuan half an hour to roughly read the contents of the two jade slips.

But at this moment, his expression became extremely wonderful.

There is a hint of confusion in the surprise, and a lot of confusion in the curiosity.

After another cup of tea, Chen Xuan actually let out a long sigh of relief.

"The owner of these two jade slips, True Man Bai Chong, is indeed my senior from the Yuling Sect."

"However, judging from the introduction in the jade slip, Master Bai Chong should be in the late stage of foundation building and great perfection."

"But, the introduction to the spirit insects in his jade slip is extremely detailed."

"And, based on my own insights, I compiled a list of ancient strange insects."

"Such a person with extraordinary talent should not be unknown in my Yuling Sect."

"Even so, you can't escape the fate of falling."

"I am only a cultivator with four spiritual roots. In this cruel world of cultivators, I must be extremely careful and work hard. Perhaps I can make further progress in my cultivation."

"If you want to become a strong person with a longevity equal to that of heaven, you must continue to practice."

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan's determination to practice became extremely firm.

Although the road to becoming an immortal is very bumpy.

Chen Xuan didn't feel it was hard to practice.

On the contrary, every time his realm is improved, his lifespan also increases, which brings Chen Xuan joy and makes him full of motivation.

"Right now, the most important thing is to find the Soul-Restoring Grass as soon as possible, refine the Soul-Restoring Pill, and remove the dead soul curse in my body."

"As long as the dead soul spell is completely lifted, I can focus on my training and strive to reach the late stage of foundation building as soon as possible."

Chen Xuan was not in a hurry to leave.

He stood there for a long time.

He then studied the two jade slips in detail.

These two jade slips, one records the life story of Master Bai Chong, while the other records the list of ancient strange insects.

The list of ancient strange insects was not randomly written by Master Bai Chong, but he consulted countless ancient books and compiled it based on the attack power of the ancient strange insects recorded in the ancient books.

According to the introduction on the Ancient Strange Insects List, the higher the ranking of the ancient strange insect, the stronger its combat power.

However, Master Baichong also said that the higher the ranking of the ancient strange insects on the list of ancient strange insects, the more he had seen them in ancient books.

He didn't know whether it existed in reality.

Chen Xuan is a beastmaster and has his own understanding of beastmastering.

When I saw the list of ancient strange insects compiled by Master Bai Chong, I suddenly felt like the clouds had cleared and the sky was revealed.

A completely new way of taming beasts made him feel very novel.

For a moment, Chen Xuan completely forgot about looking for the soul-returning grass. He simply let the four monsters guard him. He found a place and carefully comprehended the contents of the jade slip.

Only three days had passed before Chen Xuan finished reading the Ancient Strange Insect List and the jade slips that recorded the life of Master Bai Chong.

At this moment, Chen Xuan was completely overwhelmed with admiration for this senior fellow disciple who was only in the late foundation building stage.

"There are so many talented people in my Yuling Sect. Although the realm of Master Bai Chong is not high, his understanding of ancient strange insects far exceeds that of many powerful people with higher realms than him."

"The two jade slips of Master Bai Chong have fallen into my hands. I will not let down his hard work in studying spiritual insects."

"When I return to the sect, I will definitely hand over the two jade slips to the sect."

"After all, this is also the last wish of Master Bai Chong. However, the iron wireworms that just attacked me in the Yinfeng Valley seem to be the masterpiece of this senior, which makes people think about it."

Chen Xuan sat quietly where he was, playing with the jade slip left by Master Bai Chong while pondering the contents of the slip.

After Chen Xuan carefully read the jade slip that recorded the life of Master Bai Chong, he finally understood that the group of difficult wireworms in the Yin Qi Valley were actually the spiritual insects fed by Master Bai Chong.

Unfortunately, because too much time has passed, the originally artificially fed spirit insects have completely become wild.

Even though Chen Xuan found a way to tame the wireworms from the jade slips left by Master Bai Chong, he was still helpless against a group of wild wireworms for the time being.

"Since Master Bai Chong likes to study spiritual insects, he probably carries several kinds of spiritual insects with him."

"But he died in the Yin Qi Valley. What's the reason behind this?"

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan thought seriously.

Good opportunity, he seemed to understand something, and a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes.

"For an insect cultivator who likes to study the art of expelling insects, the most attractive thing to him is probably the various ancient strange insects."

"If I'm not mistaken, the reason why Master Bai Chong came to the Yin Qi Valley is probably because he discovered an ancient strange insect that ranks high on the ancient strange insect list."

"At least, it should be ranked above the iron wire worm."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked coming to the Yin Qi Valley and perished here."

Chen Xuan frowned.

At this moment, he no longer dared to move forward.

With a thought, he connected with the Red-tailed Scorpion King and the Purple-winged Spirit Bat.

"You two, search the Yin Qi Valley carefully. See if there is a place where spirit insects gather."

"If there are any, don't disturb them and report to me immediately."

After receiving Chen Xuan's order, the Purple Winged Spirit Bat and the Red Tailed Scorpion King flapped their flesh wings and quickly disappeared from the spot, while the other one swooped into the ground.

Chen Xuan did not dare to be careless. He completely spread out his spiritual thoughts and carefully searched the Yin Qi Valley.

The strange thing is that in this valley with a very strong yin energy, the deeper you go into it, the stronger the yin energy becomes.

The more obvious the effect of hindering divine thoughts will be.

Outside the Yin Qi Valley, Chen Xuan’s divine sense can easily detect a range of more than 20 miles.

But here, you can only explore ten miles.

"This Yin Qi Valley is really weird. It can actually hinder the exploration of divine thoughts."

"Right now, I can't use my divine sense to find the location of the ancient strange insect. I can only rely on the Red-tailed Scorpion King and the Purple-winged Spirit Bat."

Chen Xuan muttered to himself. Seeing that the Red-tailed Scorpion King and the Purple-winged Spirit Bat had not returned for a long time, he simply sat down where he was and took out a pill to restore his spiritual power and refined it.

After two full hours, when the spiritual power in Chen Xuan's body was completely restored, the Red-tailed Scorpion King and the Purple-winged Spirit Bat appeared in front of Chen Xuan almost at the same time.

Without waiting for Chen Xuan to ask, the two monsters actually kept barking at Chen Xuan excitedly.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan was immediately happy.

"Haha, it seems like you two have found something good this time. If so, tell me quickly, what did you find?"

As soon as Chen Xuan finished speaking, the Red-tailed Scorpion King actually took the initiative to establish contact with Chen Xuan's mind.

Soon, everything that the Red-tailed Scorpion King saw appeared completely in Chen Xuan’s mind.

Chen Xuan looked at each picture carefully.

Especially when he saw the situation in an extremely huge cave in the Yin Qi Valley, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

"This... there really is an ancient strange insect?"
