Chapter 234: The First Merit, Spiritual Crystal Essence, and Unexpected Gains

A close call.

Palace Master Xu spat a mouthful of blood on the Nine-Python Jade Bracelet. The nine giant pythons transformed from the jade bracelet gathered together, and their bodies trembled slightly, and they actually transformed into a dragon.

The dragon roared angrily.

A ball of dragon breath erupted.

Nearly a hundred second-order insects will be overwhelmed.

at the same time.

Palace Master Xu cast one spell after another on the Lingyu Insect Tide Formation. The formation diagram hummed and a white mist lit up, covering the entire inner battlefield.

The compound eyes of the second-order insect general, who was on the verge of going berserk, turned from red to normal.

Obviously.

The white mist cut off the insect mother's control over the second-level insect general.

Bang bang bang!
but.

Underground.

There were still endless streams of insects rushing up, and they crashed into the magic circle condensed by the nine-headed giant python, causing dense cracks to appear.

Palace Master Xu also looked pale at this moment.

Fu Changsheng looked at the battlefield to the west again.

However, they saw that the endless Tai Chi locusts had already blocked the west, and it was only a matter of time before the formation was broken.

But underground.

It seemed that the battle between Cao Xiang'er and the Insect Queen could not be stopped for a moment.

At this time, Patriarch Lin had already thought about escaping.

Continue to stay here.

I'm afraid I'll have to explain myself here today.

But their Lin family cannot do without him. Once all the foundation-building cultivators in the family are killed, the title of the ninth-grade family will be taken back.

Patriarch Lin’s eyes flickered.

However, due to Cao Xianger's prestige as the master of Zifu, he was hesitant for a moment.

Fu Changsheng saw everything and decided to take a risk.

Once the insect tide breaks through.

None of them will survive today.

So he quickly slapped a ground escape talisman on his body, and at the same time, he opened his mouth and swallowed the wild beast pill refined by Liu Meizhen into his stomach.

After the wild beast pill was refined.

A thin layer of light suddenly condensed on his body surface.

While falling underground.

I encountered several waves of second-level insect generals, but they ignored me:

"This wild beast pill is really amazing!"

Fu Changsheng sped up.

Ground.

In the underground nest of the Tai Chi locust tide.

But I saw countless worm eggs hanging upside down around the wormhole.

The insect eggs emit a faint green light, and second-level insects continue to hatch from them and rush to the ground.

Cao Xiang'er was wearing a lavender spiritual robe, and her purple palace spiritual power was flowing faintly on her body like a layer of gauze.

The third-order insect queen is huge, dozens of feet tall. Its body is covered with a hard shell that flashes a dark green light and emits a disgusting smell.

The insect mother's compound eyes flashed with ferocity.

The huge mouthparts opened and spurted out a stream of dark green mucus, which shot towards Cao Xianger like a sharp arrow.

Cao Xiang'er's eyes flashed, she tapped her feet lightly, and her figure floated back like lightning.

She quickly formed seals with her hands and muttered something, and a light blue spiritual power shield formed in front of her.

The slime hit the shield, making a corrosive sound.

As Cao Xiang'er retreated, she pushed her hands forward and an ice cone formed by spiritual power shot towards the insect mother.

The ice cones continued to grow larger during the flight, and in the blink of an eye they turned into dozens of huge icicles.

Seeing this, the insect mother let out a sharp hiss, and a black whirlwind surged around its body. The whirlwind rushed towards the icicle, and the icicle and the whirlwind collided with each other, making a deafening roar. The icicle was shredded by the whirlwind, turning into countless ice chips that scattered all over the ground, but the whirlwind also dissipated a lot.

"sizzle"

The Insect Mother didn't expect Cao Xiang'er to be such a good fighter.

The fierce light in his eyes became stronger.

Its tentacles flashed with electric light, and a thick bolt of lightning struck towards Cao Xianger.

Cao Xianger frowned.

Circles of golden runes suddenly appeared around her body. The runes flashed with light, attracting the lightning, which then dispersed along the runes' tracks and disappeared into the surrounding space.

During the battle.

Cao Xianger glanced at the second-level insects that were constantly hatching and rushing towards the ground. She suddenly guessed that the Insect Mother wanted to let the Tai Chi locusts outside the Lingyu Insect Tide Formation in.

Once besieged by a swarm of insects.

Plus the command of the third-level insect queen.

I'm afraid even she, who has the cultivation level of Purple Mansion, would find it difficult to escape from it:

"Quick victory!"

Cao Xianger's figure flashed and instantly appeared above the insect mother's head.

A sword emitting purple light appeared in her hand and stabbed towards the insect mother's head.

There was a "ding" sound.

The insect queen felt the threat above her head, and suddenly a pair of huge sickle-shaped claws appeared on her head and grabbed towards the sword.

Cao Xianger's magic technique changed.

The sword avoided the attack of the insect claws, and at the same time drew a graceful arc in the air, slashing towards the compound eyes of the insect mother. The insect mother's eyes quickly closed, and the sword slashed on her eyelids, splashing sparks, but the eyelids of the insect mother, which were surrounded by golden light, were surprisingly indestructible.

Cao Xianger narrowed her eyes slightly.

I feel like it's going to be hard to resolve this quickly.

Immediately, she quickly changed her hand seals, and the spiritual energy around her began to gather crazily. The surrounding air seemed to be sucked out by her spiritual energy, forming a huge spiritual energy vortex.

A huge spiritual rune appeared in the vortex, flashing with colorful light.

Cao Xianger shouted:
"Destroy the Demonic Spirit Seal!"

He pushed the insect mother with both hands.

The space was slightly distorted wherever the talisman passed.

"sizzle"

The insect queen felt a huge threat and its body began to tremble violently.

However, the insect eggs hanging upside down around the wormhole shrank quickly, and then streams of strange energy penetrated into its body. The body of the worm mother became larger, the light on the shell became more dazzling, and the aura instantly climbed to the late third stage.

Open your mouth.

Rumble!
But then a huge dark green energy ball whizzed out and headed towards the Demon-Breaking Seal.

The energy ball collided with the Demon-Breaking Seal.

A wave of energy erupted that could destroy the world.

The entire underground nest began to shake violently. The upside-down insect eggs fell one after another, and some were even shattered by the energy fluctuations.

After the energy fluctuation.

Cao Xianger's spiritual shield had been broken, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, but her eyes remained firm.

The insect mother's body was also severely damaged, and several huge cracks appeared on its carapace, and dark green blood flowed out of the cracks. Its strength was obviously weakened, and its compound eyes, which had originally been full of ferocity, became somewhat dim.

The insect mother seemed to realize that it would be of no benefit to continue fighting, and she began to slowly retreat, while making a low roar, as if to warn Cao Xianger not to continue chasing. The second-order insects that continued to hatch densely surrounded her.

At the same time, a strange whistling sound came from his mouth.

The sound penetrated the ground.

Cao Xianger immediately sensed that the fight on the ground had suddenly become more intense.

but.

At this moment, the magic power in her body was not enough for her to deal with this late-stage third-order insect queen. Although she was unwilling, she could only retreat first. It was better than everyone dying here.

Just now.

Cao Xianger's consciousness moved.

But then Fu Changsheng's figure suddenly appeared.

Cao Xiang'er frowned when she saw Fu Changsheng suddenly appear. It was such a dangerous place, even she, a master of Purple Mansion, could not do anything about it. If Fu Changsheng came here at this time, he would undoubtedly be seeking his death.

Just about to scold.

But I heard Fu Changsheng's voice in my ears.

After listening,
There was a flash of hesitation in Cao Xianger's eyes, but she still nodded slightly.

He watched Fu Changsheng approach the Insect Mother step by step, but he saw that the second-level insect generals wherever he passed seemed to be oblivious to his arrival and could not notice anything at all.

A glimmer of hope flashed in Cao Xianger's eyes.

The moment Fu Changsheng entered the insect tide, perhaps because of taking the wild beast pill, he felt that he had merged with the surrounding environment.

He carefully restrained his breath and hid all his murderous intent.

Approaching the insect mother step by step.

Every step was taken with extreme caution.

His heart was beating so hard in his chest that it seemed like it was going to burst through.

He knew that once he was discovered by the Insect Queen, he would be dead without a burial place in the face of the late third stage combat power.

At this time, the insect queen was resting in the nest, surrounded by countless Tai Chi locusts. They were guarding the insect queen vigilantly, and any movement would arouse their alertness.

Fu Changsheng was getting closer and closer to the insect mother. He could already see the insect mother's hard shell and eyes flashing with ferocity.

He silently calculated the distance and time in his mind. From the time he came down from the ground to now, the effective time of the Wild Beast Pill was passing quickly.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but his eyes were extremely determined.

"call!"

Just a few steps away from the insect mother.

At this time, the effectiveness time of the Wild Beast Pill is almost up.

Fu Changsheng no longer hesitated. The purple divine light in his body instantly burst out and turned into an arrow that shot towards the insect mother like a meteor. The speed was so fast and the power was so strong that the surrounding air made a sharp whistling sound.

The insect queen was resting and was unaware of the sudden attack.

As it prepares to defend itself.

It's too late. Buzz!
The arrow passed through the insect mother's softest abdomen and entered the opponent's body.

Fu Changsheng's fierce pinch:

"burst!"

Rumble!
Powerful purple divine light burst out instantly.

The insect queen didn't even have time to scream before she was killed by the blow. Its huge body fell to the ground with a loud bang, splashing up a cloud of dust.

The insects around will make strange noises.

Then it dissipated with a bang and turned into wisps of strange energy that dissipated between heaven and earth.

"call!"

Only now did Fu Changsheng dare to breathe deeply.

If there had been any accident just now, his life would have been lost.

Fortunately.

The intelligence provided about the insect mother's vital weak points was accurate.

If not.

He didn't dare to act rashly.

Cao Xiang'er raised her hand to wipe the blood from her mouth, looked at Fu Changsheng with a complicated look, and said:

"Patriarch Fu, you have successfully eliminated the Taiji locust plague this time. After returning to the Zhenshi Division, I will report to the court. Have you thought about what reward you want?"

This time the insect tide came with great force.

The court will certainly reward Fu Changsheng, who made the first contribution, to encourage the aristocratic families to take action when the next beast nest breaks out.

And such good things.

Fu Changsheng blurted out without thinking:

"Can I exchange for the method to break through the Purple Mansion?"

"no"

Cao Xiang'er shook her head without any hesitation.

I see that I am too blunt.

Added another sentence:
"The secret of the Purple Mansion can only be accessed by eighth-grade families and above."

Sure enough.

Fu Changsheng could only settle for the next best thing:

"Then can we make an exception and promote our Fu family to the eighth rank? At present, our Fu family's spiritual veins, cultivation of the hundred arts, and the number of people who have established their foundation have all reached the standards. In addition, we also have a ninth rank family in our fiefdom, and the imperial merit points have reached 12,000."

Cao Xiang'er saw that Fu Changsheng had too big an appetite.

This is even more excessive than rewarding the secret of the Purple Mansion. He immediately shook his head and said:
"I will try my best to apply for the maximum amount of imperial merit points for you."

Finished.

Cao Xianger waved her sleeves.

He put the huge corpse of the insect mother into the storage bag, and at the same time, he scanned the insect mother's nest with his spiritual sense. He hesitated for a moment, and finally did not stay. When he turned around and left, he only left a sentence:

"Give you half a cup of tea"

talking.

The figure has disappeared.

Fu Changsheng was stunned for a moment, because generally speaking, monsters would have companion spiritual creatures where they were stationed, but Cao Xianger didn't even stay to search before leaving.

It was obvious that he intended to keep the spoils for himself.

Fu Changsheng coughed lightly.

Although Cao Xiang'er looks cold, after several contacts with her, she turns out to be a trustworthy person.

Based on information provided by intelligence.

This insect queen's nest contains spirit crystal marrow and blood-recovering grass.

among them.

The Spirit Crystal Essence was formed by countless years of spiritual energy gathering and compression. Its shape was as crystal-clear as crystal, but inside it seemed as if there was a blue liquid flowing slowly. Its value was inestimable. For him, one Spirit Crystal Essence could directly allow him to break through from the eighth level of foundation building to the ninth level of foundation building.

Take a closer look.

Deep in the Tai Chi locust's nest, a soft blue light emanates from a huge rock crevice.

Fu Changsheng walked closer and saw that it was the spiritual crystal marrow mentioned in the intelligence.

Right hand pinch.

Lines of magic power turned into spiritual blades to cut the rock completely and put it into the storage bag.

When getting up to leave.

Fu Changsheng swept his spiritual sense.

Suddenly he let out a light exclamation.

A piece of stone that was glowing with light caught his attention. He walked forward and knocked on it, and found that the stone was hollow.

Fu Changsheng's eyes lit up with joy.

Immediately, the Thunder Sword chopped down from the air.

There was a bang.

The rocks shattered and a cave came into view.

The cave is like a huge and mysterious underground palace. The entrance is shrouded in a layer of light mist, like a natural barrier that prevents outside disturbance.

Entering the cave, the first thing that comes into view is a spacious hall with a dome high above, which is made up of countless huge stalagmites and stalactites, like a natural stone dome building, full of rough and primitive beauty. The ground is rugged, covered with large and small stones and shallow pits, and occasionally you can see some tributaries of the underground river winding through.

The light in the cave is very weak.

After being refracted by the water vapor in the cave, colorful halos are formed, sprinkling on the surrounding rocks and stalagmites.

The sound of dripping water echoes in the cave. It is the sound of water dripping from the stalagmites and hitting the ground or puddles. It is crisp and rhythmic, like the heartbeat of the cave.

In the center of the cave.

A small pond comes into view.

There are only ten drops of spiritual milk in the pool.

But there is a rich spiritual energy in it.

Take a closer look.

However, the spiritual milk was deep and pure, and there seemed to be some faint golden lines in the spiritual liquid. These lines were flowing inside the spiritual milk like silk threads, as if they were the life veins of the spiritual milk.

Fu Changsheng could feel that they were emitting a faint light. This light was not fixed, but flickered rhythmically like breathing, sometimes bright, sometimes dim, and every flicker seemed to release a mysterious power.

Fu Changsheng remembered something.

He slapped the storage bag quickly.

A flash of glow.

An ancient jade slip appeared in his hand.

The jade slip opened.

There was a passage in it that described the ten drops of spiritual milk exactly the same as what he had seen:
"It's actually the thousand-year-old spiritual milk?!"

Fu Changsheng exclaimed.

One drop of the thousand-year spiritual milk can restore the magic power of Zifu Daxiu, and with his cultivation in the late stage of foundation building, one-third of the diluted milk is enough to fill up his dried-up dantian.

It is hard to find a drop of this thousand-year-old spiritual milk outside.

For the monks.

During a fight, this thousand-year-old spiritual milk undoubtedly plays a decisive role at the critical moment.

Fu Changsheng suppressed his excitement and quickly found a pure white jade bottle from his storage bag. He put ten drops of thousand-year-old spiritual milk into the bottle and put a series of restrictions into it. Then he carefully put the pill bottle into the storage bag.

This adventure.

for him.

It is undoubtedly a fruitful one.

Glancing at the cave.

Fu Changsheng flew out and slapped his storage bag. Formation flags fell down one after another. He covered the entrance of the cave with the formation, picked the blood-recovering grass, and then got up and flew underground.

It's been delayed for so long.

Never show up again.

I’m afraid Cao Xiang’er will become suspicious.

above the ground.

Accompanied by the sudden disappearance of the Tai Chi locust.

The aristocratic cultivators who were struggling to hold on were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes flashed with ecstasy. Palace Master Xu smiled weakly and said:
"It must be that the pacification envoy has successfully killed the third-order insect queen. Let's all rest here first."

While talking.

Shangguan Feng returned from the west to the northern center of the formation.

But he unexpectedly discovered that Fu Changsheng was not there.

My heart skipped a beat.

Seeing this, Chief Lin hurriedly explained:

"Just now, a wave of insects broke out in the inner formation, and Chief Fu rushed in alone."

Shangguan Feng saw this.

Immediately look towards the inner formation.

At this moment, there was no trace of Fu Changsheng in the inner formation.

Palace Master Xu also sighed:
"Just now, when the inner formation was in danger, Chief Fu stepped forward and killed a wave of second-order insects that were about to self-destruct. After that, he went deeper into the fog to fight."

In other words.

Even though Fu Changsheng died heroically, not even his body was left behind, and it was obvious that he was buried in the insect general's belly.

Shangguan Feng was shocked:
"How could this be?"

The scenes of her acquaintance with Fu Changsheng flashed through her mind.

This result is really hard to accept.

Patriarch Gongsun felt very pleased at this moment. It was obvious that even God could not stand this and took Fu Changsheng away directly.

Murmuring in my heart:

"Big brother, second brother, and seventh brother, you can rest in peace in your grave."

Patriarch He, who was on good terms with the Fu family, had a look of grief on his face, but soon turned suspicious. According to his qi-reading technique, Fu Changsheng did not look like a short-lived person:
"Could it be."

Patriarch He had a bold idea.

His eyes fell on the ground.
