and warned without any politeness, "In Ge's view, Daoist Priest's cultivation level is indeed too low. However, the senior Yun You Zi spoke highly of Daoist Priest, so I believe Daoist Priest should n...The Qichong List is merely a compilation made by the Yuling Sect based on the experience of their predecessors and ancient texts unearthed from ancient battlefields of immortals.

The Yu Ling Sect is renowned for its beast-taming skills. Qin Sang even suspected that the Yu Ling Sect was established by the Tian Yao Qiu, and the disciples who specialize in insect-taming techniques are just one part of it.

"Don't you think they resemble hornets"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Qin Sang walked to the corpse of a blood-winged ghost hornet.

This Tarantula Hawk wasp has its wings burned off, leaving only its round body.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Yuan Hu lowered his head and looked for a while, thoughtfully said: "Hearing what you say, it seems really similar to the Ghosthead Bee ranked 520th on the Witch Insect List. I wonder why it mutated and gave birth to blood wings. In Xizhang, the Ghosthead Bee has long since disappeared. How could it suddenly appear, and moreover, after mutation"

"Speaking of which, Yuan Hu turned his head and asked the high priest of Tianyue Village, "High Priest, before these strange bees appeared, did you see anything else unusual"

The High Priest shook his head and said, "When the hunters from our village went hunting, they found that the prey had disappeared. They followed the tracks to this place and saw the strange bees' nest. We tried several times, but we couldn't defeat the strange bees, so we sent a message to the Wuchongmen for help. All the nearby areas are hunting grounds for our Tianyue Village. There were no abnormalities before. These strange bees seemed to have appeared suddenly."

It seems that the list of harmful insects also includes ghost hornets, but it's quite different from the Strange Insect List of the Spirit Controlling Sect.

The Insect Chart seems to have a clear ranking of Spirit Insects.

The Yuling Sect is different. Their list of strange insects merely provides a catalog with descriptions of their characteristics. Some even simply retell legends found in ancient texts, without establishing a definitive ranking.

On the Qichong list, Yulingzong has a high evaluation of Guitoufeng.

According to an ancient tome, the cultivation world has seen numerous transformations. There have been ghost-headed bees whose strength rivaled that of nascent stage cultivators, and they even possessed the potential for further evolution.

That is why the ghost mantis has the qualification to enter the list of strange insects.

But on the Witchcraft List, it seems that ghost hornets are not highly regarded, ranking hundreds of places down.

What criteria are used to determine the ranking on the Witchcraft List

Qin Sang pondered for a moment and said, "There are quite a few larvae in the honeycomb, so giving two to you fellow cultivator is no problem. However, I don't have any artifacts for storing spirit insects. Do you have any spare ones Perhaps you could sell me one"

I happen to have a bamboo worm cage, and I'd like to trade it for two young worms with you.

Yuan Hu's face lit up, he took out a finely woven bamboo basket with a narrow neck. It was a specialized tool used to store Gu worms.

Out of kindness, Yuan Hu reminded Qin Sang, “Fellow Daoist, you don't even have a worm cage. It seems you aren't specialized in the art of controlling worms. If you intend to use this strange bee as your natal insect gu in the future, you need to think carefully. Spiritual insects transforming is already very difficult, and after mutation, it might affect the transformation, and in severe cases, even cause them to lose their ability to transform. Each person can only have one natal insect gu, which requires immense effort to cultivate. By the time you realize something is wrong, you want to replace it, and you'll have to start all over again, delaying important matters!”

Qin Sang listened, and felt that the natal insect gu and the natal magic treasure were very similar.

Apart from special cultivation techniques like the Yúan Shén Yǎng Jiàn Zhāng, each cultivator can only possess one natal treasure. Could natal insect gu also occupy the quota of a natal treasure

Two for one, it sounds pretty good.

But if the natal insect fails to transform for a long time and cannot keep up with the cultivator's own strength, it will become a useless thing.

Qin Sang nodded and thanked Yuan Hu for his kindness.

He had been keeping blood-winged hornets for so many years, he had long suspected that they had mutated into blood-winged hornets in order to survive in Wuya Valley. The price they paid might have been the loss of their potential to molt.

Having placed the honeycomb into the bamboo container, Qin Sang bid farewell to the three and journeyed westward.

On the feng shui map, Xiong Mountain and Wu Chong Men are located in the northwest.

The entire Xiong Shan region is very barren, with few peaks where spiritual veins exist. Almost all the faintly-present spiritual veins are occupied by powerful figures like Bi Mo and the priests of the large villages.

These large villages, like small kingdoms within the frigid region, each controlled a vast territory. However, their populations were far from comparable to those of the larger domains, resembling mere human settlements akin to thousand-household fortresses.

The large village attached to Qianhu Village is called Yuhui Village.

These large factions are all intricately connected, with a ripple effect that impacts the whole. Qin Sang's injuries haven't fully healed, and he doesn't want to draw too much attention, so he avoids conflict with local forces.

West of the Xiong Shan region, deeper into the heart of Xi Jiang, the terrain becomes even more treacherous and inhospitable. Some abandoned spirit veins are occupied by demonic beasts here.

With the strength of a flying demon, it wouldn't be difficult to snatch a cave dwelling.

‘Bang!’

A dark shadow fell from the sky, crashing heavily onto the rocks, scattering its feathers.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

This is a black roc, with wings spanning three zhang long. It is very majestic and a powerful demon in the middle stage of the demon spirit period. It is the king of nearby monsters.

The black vulture excels at escaping techniques, its speed is astonishing. If it focuses solely on fleeing, even a typical Jindan stage cultivator would likely struggle to catch up with it.

Meeting Qin Sang and the flying heavenly yaksha, it's just their bad luck.

The black hawk was thrown off balance, its head spinning. It staggered to its feet, only to have a dark figure suddenly appear before it like a phantom.

The black kite, oblivious to the danger, was seized by a ghostly hand around its neck. With a sickening 'crack', it died instantly.

Qin Sang stood on the mountaintop, gazing at the Flying Sky Asura effortlessly slaughtering demons in the distance. He ordered it to bring the Black Roc's corpse up and guard outside the cave, then walked into the den himself.

The spiritual energy of this mountain is still acceptable and sufficient for cultivating elixirs.

With everything ready, this time Qin Sang decided to stay in seclusion until the pill formation was successful.

The black vulture died silently, and no one knew that this cave had changed hands.

The sky-flying demon stands guard outside the gate like a door god.

In the cave, Qin Sang sat cross-legged in silence.

After taking the elixir and meditating, his spiritual awareness had recovered by half. However, Qin Sang couldn't wait any longer; he proactively woke up from meditation. He turned his palm over, revealing a jade box in his palm.

Inside the jade box lay a purple spirit fruit, surrounded by cloud patterns and exuding a rich fragrance. It was the renowned Crimson Cloud Purple Fruit!

Opening the jade box, Qin Sang rubbed the crimson cloud purple fruit with her finger, her expression changing, carrying a hint of emotion.

The price paid for the foundation laid back then, after so many twists and turns, has finally been made up for.

To have obtained this fruit, Yun Youzi deserves great credit. I wonder if he has overcome the tribulation and how he is doing now

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Qin Sang put away his thoughts, raised his head and swallowed the entire Jiayun Purple Fruit. Then, he used his spiritual consciousness to activate the Wumu Sword, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, wrapping the Jiayun Purple Fruit, and starting the process of refining it.

The skin of the crimson cloud purple fruit is very hard.

With Qin Sang's spiritual power sealed, he could only rely on killing talismans to refine the spirit fruit, making the process even slower.

It took Qin Sang a whole morning and afternoon to refine the Jiangyun Purple Fruit. The spiritual fruit transformed into an extremely pure medicinal power, which merged into Qin Sang's body.

Qin Sang had taken elixirs such as the Xuanwen He Yun Dan, healing nine out of ten of his injuries. Only a sliver remained, yet it was like a chasm separating him from full recovery, no matter how hard he tried.

Now that I have been nourished by the power of the Jiayun Zi Guo medicinal fruit, my foundation has finally fully recovered!id I wouldn't be able to resist this temptation..."Qin Sang smiled wryly, lowering his head to look at his dantian. Fortunately, he had made up his mind quickly. As soon as the signs appeared, he forc...
