Chapter 382 Fire-eating Toad

"Ancient Blood Centipede..."

Li Quanqing muttered the name and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "So the so-called fifth-level poisonous insect is a giant centipede that can suck blood?"

"Ahem... Ancestor Quanqing, you can't say that."

"This Gu has taken away the good fortune of heaven and earth. It is a divine creature born and raised by nature. It is just reborn in the body of a centipede. In essence, it is the embodiment of the rules of the great way..."

Man Ming gritted his teeth and continued to speak, racking his brains to recite all the barbarian books he had read.

"I'll just trust you for now..."

Li Quanqing shook his head and looked at the blood-red stone the size of a chicken egg. The tangled patterns on its surface really looked like a centipede coiled in a circle.

He sent out a ray of Nascent Soul consciousness, wanting to carefully examine the Blood Centipede Heavenly Gu, but he didn't expect that he would actually encounter an obstruction.

The invisible and intangible spiritual consciousness was blocked at the outermost part of the stone, and it was impossible to advance an inch and explore the scenes in the depths, which was enough to block the prying eyes of Yuanying Zhenjun.

"It really is somewhat magical. This guy is not talking nonsense. It is indeed a precious Heavenly Gu, but it is hard to say whether it is dead or alive..."

Li Quanqing raised his eyebrows, had some guesses in his mind, and became a little interested.

Although it may be a real fifth-level poisonous insect, it has no vitality and has long been consumed, making it like a dead object.

It was even not as good as the lotus seed of his five-colored precious lotus. All its vitality was gone and there was no possibility of revival.

I think this is also the reason why the barbarians don’t take it seriously, otherwise it would be a fifth-order poisonous insect with the foundation of a divine master.

How could it be stolen by a Jindan cultivator, and the person sent to hunt it down was a character like Man Huan.

If they really took it seriously, I believe that a great Yuanying cultivator of the barbarian tribe would have taken action personally to directly wipe out the soul and spirit and retrieve the sacred object of the tribe.

After getting a glimpse of the truth, Li Quanqing lost interest again: "This ancient sky-gu has a great origin, I wonder what its function is?"

"Reporting to the ancestor, this Gu worm carries the great way of blood. It was born and raised by nature. It is born extraordinary. It can refine the blood of all spirits, trace back to the ancient glory of the ancestors, and reappear in the world!"

Manming looked slightly serious. This time he was not bragging, but telling the truth.

After all, this is what the elders of the tribe have taught them since they were young, and almost every barbarian has heard it so many times that their ears are callused.

"Refine the bloodline and trace the origin? Explain in detail."

Li Quanqing pondered over these words and had some guesses in his mind.

“For example, a Jindan demon beast tribe has extraordinary bloodline. Their ancestors may be traced back to a Yuanying or even a Huashen demon lord, or even a legendary true spirit beast. They are powerful and unpredictable, but it’s a pity that the bloodline of their descendants is gradually becoming thinner.”

“The ancient blood centipede sky Gu can devour the blood of these golden elixir monsters and purify the blood of the legendary great monster!”

This effect is truly extraordinary and can be said to be an original manifestation of the Great Way of Blood.

No wonder it could drive the founder of the Blood River Sect crazy and lead him to start a war with the barbarians in order to get it.

Man Ming stroked the blood-red stone ball in his hand, with a look of emotion and a hint of pride:
"Looking back to the ancient times, our barbarian ancestors used this Gu to extract the blood of many divine beasts of creation, and refined it into their bodies, becoming extremely powerful. With these great demonic powers, they were even able to compete with [Yan Shen Dao]!"

"Unfortunately, in my eyes, this is just the corpse of a Gu worm. It has no life left, only its remains."

Li Quanqing shook his head, without much regret in his words.

There is nothing immortal in this world. No matter how stunning and charming you are, you will eventually turn into dust.

Even the legendary immortals are not immortal. Just like the sun in the sky, there will be a day when they will fall into extinction.

Perhaps the only thing that is truly immortal is the concept of time itself, or the mysterious rules that run through billions of worlds.

"Old Ancestor, you are wrong. The blood demon is immortal. The great way of blood represents the most fundamental vitality of all living things. Even plants are the same. The trunks of trees have meridians and blood-like juice essence flowing through them."

"I have studied this blood centipede for decades. It is also immortal. It is just in a long sleep now. There will be a day when it will be awakened again." Man Ming held the blood-colored stone in his hand, with a hint of fanaticism on his face.

"So... let me ask you, what is the price?"

"What should we do to revive this ancient blood centipede and make it wake up again?"

If he could raise a live Tian Gu, it would be a rare opportunity for Li Quanqing.

After all, the poisonous insect is also a kind of monster. It will be recognized by the golden finger and will give out precious light balls as rewards.

"According to my speculation, we should sacrifice a powerful blood to revive the Gu through its vigorous vitality."

Man Ming was silent for a moment and then spoke.

He had seen in ancient books that in ancient times, the barbarians were powerful, and after each war, they would sacrifice this blood centipede to maintain their immortality.

"Powerful blood, do you mean... the blood of the God-Transforming Master?"

Li Quanqing sighed.

The barbarians had several Yuanying Zhenjuns in charge, so they had no pressure in slaughtering a fourth-level monster and offering sacrifices to the poisonous insect.

But after so many years, it still has not been awakened, which shows that the effect of the Nascent Soul blood is not strong enough.

"It should be. Moreover, we need a large amount of fresh blood to make up for the loss of the blood centipede for hundreds of thousands of years."

"After all, my Barbarian tribe has a lot of heritage. Our ancestors once left behind some blood essence of a great demon that had transformed into a god. This was consumed in history and sacrificed several times, but unfortunately it failed in the end."

Man Ming looked a little embarrassed. He had been on the run for so many years and had to figure out on his own what a terrible fifth-level Heavenly Gu he had stolen.

Unfortunately, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Since it has been stolen, even if I want to return it, returning to the tribe will be a dead end. I have no choice but to go down this path until the end.

“It’s tasteless to eat, it’s a pity to throw it away!”

In the end, Li Quanqing could only come to this conclusion, without any hope of reviving the blood centipede.

If he can kill divine creatures and use their fresh blood for sacrifice, would he still need the help of a fifth-order poisonous insect?
What's more, now that the heaven and earth are in shatters and all living things have stopped at the Nascent Soul stage, even if he wanted to kill a great demon that had transformed into a spirit, he simply couldn't do it.

Li Quanqing took out the Blood Centipede Heavenly Gu, played with it for a while, and threw it into the Hanhai bowl, treating it the same as the lotus seeds of the Five-Colored Treasure Lotus.

They are all the worst of the worst.

"From now on, you will stay in the Immortal City and serve as a worshiper of the Li family."

Li Quanqing took a look at this guy and then made a decision.

The Li family's foundation is too weak. After he breaks through the Nascent Soul stage, it is time to recruit several Jindan cultivators as worshippers, expand his strength, and seize territory.

Now that another Jiazi beast tide is approaching, the Qingyu Li family has been promoted to a Yuanying clan, and they really need to improve their strength as soon as possible.

Anyway, with the Ice Phoenix Puppet in hand, plus the Drought Demon Puppet, even if he is not in the family, the old patriarch and his men have the confidence to suppress these Jindan cultivators.

"Thank you for your help, ancestor!"

Upon hearing this, Man Ming's face immediately lit up with joy. Although he felt sorry for losing a fifth-level poisonous insect, his life was still more important.

Li Quanqing didn't care. He took out the spirit beast bag left by Man Huan, broke the mental imprint and opened it. He immediately saw a big fiery red toad emerging from the blazing flames.

"This is a fourth-level poisonous insect... a fire-swallowing toad!"

When Manming saw this monster, he exclaimed in surprise and recognized the origin of this poisonous insect.
