Zombie Cultivation Across Worlds-Chapter 72 – My Gu Insect, don’t look too much

Chu Xuan smiled faintly.

Cultivators who raise Gu insects indeed often look like this Spirit Bug Daoist, thin and with sunken eyes.

Just like a male demon drained by a succubus.

But Chu Xuan had plenty of flesh and blood to raise Gu insects.

How could he be backfired by them?

However, given his appearance, it was normal for the other party to be suspicious.

Chu Xuan reached out his hand.

Blood steel wire, emitting a metallic sheen, emerged from his palm.

The Spirit Bug Daoist, who was about to leave, suddenly froze.

"Blood Steel Wire?"

"Second Transformation?"

His expression of indifference turned to astonishment.

Blood Steel Wire was just an ordinary First Transformation Gu, with a very low upper limit.

He didn't expect this person to have a Second Transformation Blood Steel Wire.

He was very curious.

He leaned in closer to take a serious look.

But Chu Xuan retracted the wire back into the Blood Insect Sack.

"My Gu insect, don't look too closely," he said calmly.

The Han cultivator mediated, "Hahaha, Daoist Friend Spirit Bug, indeed, one shouldn't look too closely at others' Gu insects."

The Spirit Bug Daoist nodded, "Sit down, let's talk slowly."

The three of them sat down.

Chu Xuan and the Spirit Bug Daoist sat opposite each other.

The Han cultivator was on the side, wolfing down pastries and drinking herbal tea.

"What Second Transformation Gu do you have?" Chu Xuan asked.

The Spirit Bug Daoist held up three fingers, "I have three Second Transformation Gu."

"First, the Iron-Shelled Bug."

"Second, the Thought Raising Bug."

"Third, the Spirit Sea Bug."

Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow.

He had seen all three of these Gu insects in the Blood Insect Book.

The Iron-Shelled Bug, a Second Transformation Gu, secretes a substance that constantly strengthens a cultivator's outer skin.

When a cultivator is attacked, the Iron-Shelled Bug accelerates the secretion, making the outer skin extremely hard in an instant.

It can even withstand a full-force strike from a high-grade Spiritual Artifact with just the physical body.

The Thought Raising Bug, a Second Transformation Gu, must be raised in the brain.

It can enhance a cultivator's divine sense, allowing them to manipulate multiple Spiritual Artifacts simultaneously.

Often, controlling one more Spiritual Artifact means having a better chance of winning.

However, even if the Thought Raising Bug has enough flesh to eat, it might still backfire.

Because what they love to eat most is actually the cultivator's living soul.

Being in the brain, they can access the cultivator's living soul at any time, and might not resist taking a bite one day.

Unlike the Iron-Shelled Bug and the Thought Raising Bug, the Spirit Sea Bug is a Third Transformation Gu.

This means that as long as there is enough food, it can at least condense a Gu Elixir and advance to the Third Transformation, comparable to a Golden Elixir powerhouse.

However, while it's easy for the Spirit Sea Bug to advance from First to Second Transformation, advancing from Second to Third is extremely difficult.

Therefore, many cultivators simply classify the Spirit Sea Bug as a Second Transformation Gu, not calling it a Third Transformation Gu.

The Spirit Sea Bug is not raised in the torso, limbs, or brain.

It must be raised within a cultivator's Spirit Sea.

The excess spiritual power from a cultivator's daily practice is consumed by the Spirit Sea Bug.

When a cultivator needs spiritual power to defend against enemies, with just a thought, the Spirit Sea Bug releases this stored spiritual power.

In this way, the Spirit Sea Bug acts like a cultivator's second Spirit Sea.

But much smaller.

However, in many cases, life and death hinge on just a bit of spiritual power to cast a spell.

All three of these Gu insects are quite good.

It's unknown how this Spirit Bug Daoist managed to evade Tianyin Gate's scrutiny and raise these three Second Transformation Gu.

After all, in the eyes of the Five Righteous Sects, raising Gu is also considered a demonic method.

"All three are quite good, name your price," Chu Xuan nodded.

The Spirit Bug Daoist immediately said, "Iron-Shelled Bug, Second Transformation Early Stage, one thousand Small Spirit Stones."

"Thought Raising Bug, Second Transformation Early Stage, one thousand Small Spirit Stones."

"Spirit Sea Bug, Second Transformation Mid Stage, one thousand eight hundred Small Spirit Stones."

Chu Xuan couldn't help but frown.

This was daylight robbery.

The price of a Second Transformation Early Stage Gu insect has always been between mid-grade and high-grade Spiritual Artifacts.

Always about the same.

Normally, it would be priced at five hundred Small Spirit Stones.

This Spirit Bug Daoist had doubled the price!

Did he really think Chu Xuan was a fool?

Even though he had plenty of Spirit Stones now, he couldn't spend them recklessly.

The Han cultivator chimed in, "Daoist Friend He, prices are rising now, it's quite normal."

"I don't need to explain the specific reasons, do I?"

Chu Xuan thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What about the price for a Gu insect mating session?"

The Spirit Bug Daoist was taken aback, then sneered, "Do you even understand? You dare to try Gu insect mating?"

"After putting in a lot of effort, you might end up with just a deformed Gu insect."

"I advise you to give up on this idea and just buy a Second Transformation Gu."

He now regarded Chu Xuan as a newbie in raising Gu insects.

Seeing the mention of Gu insect mating in the texts, he wanted to try it himself.

Chu Xuan calmly said, "Just tell me the price."

"As for the outcome, I'll bear it, it's none of your concern."

The Spirit Bug Daoist snorted coldly, "For the three Gu insects, each mating session costs fifty Small Spirit Stones."

Chu Xuan nodded.

This price was acceptable.

The previous prices, he didn't even want to consider.

The Spirit Bug Daoist added, "The mating process must be completed here."

"Fine," Chu Xuan nodded.

Soon, the Iron-Shelled Bug, Thought Raising Bug, and Spirit Sea Bug each completed mating with the Blood Steel Wire.

There was no reproductive isolation between Gu insects.

Any Gu insects could mate and reproduce.

However, the offspring produced were varied and strange.

Powerful ones were rare, while weak and deformed ones were the most common.

After settling the payment, the Spirit Bug Daoist left without any hesitation.

The Han cultivator exchanged a few pleasantries and then left as well.

Chu Xuan didn't stay long, immediately heading to Ocean Blue Star.

The process from Gu insect egg laying to hatching takes considerable time.

Such time-consuming matters naturally needed to be handled on Ocean Blue Star.

Chu Xuan sat cross-legged in the Soul Capturing Yin Nurturing Formation, quietly practicing.

Absorbing Yin Evil Qi while refining the large Blood Pearl.

His cultivation progress was astonishingly fast.

After the Blood Steel Wire laid three eggs, it fell into a deep sleep due to excessive energy consumption.

The three eggs were of different colors: black, white, and blue.

Corresponding to the Iron-Shelled Bug, Thought Raising Bug, and Spirit Sea Bug.

Time passed day by day.

The eggshells gradually hardened.

Finally, one day, a crack appeared on the surface of the black eggshell!

Chu Xuan felt a stir in his heart, immediately stopping his practice to look at the black insect egg.
