“The Senior Brother of Authentic Teachings wants me to help raise insects?

Lu Xuan asked in surprise.

“Yes.” Ge Pu nodded.

“Brother Ge, please come in and let’s chat. In my cave, I have personally brewed Spiritual Juice, and there are also freshly ripened Spirit Fruits. Please taste them.”

Keeping the dignified Senior Brother of Authentic Teachings standing outside wasn’t appropriate, so Lu Xuan quickly invited Ge Pu to enter the mountain.

Once they arrived in his courtyard, he poured a cup of richly fragrant Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice from the Drunk Immortal Gourd, and brought out a plate of cut Flaming Fruit and Ice Luo Fruit.

“Not bad, the quality of the Spirit Fruit is excellent, refreshing and delicious. The Spiritual Juice has a taste that is varied yet clearly layered. Junior Brother Lu, you seem to know how to enjoy the finer things in life.”

Ge Pu savored the subtleties of the Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice, revealing a hint

of admiration on his face.

“I like to play around with these things when I’m cultivating spiritual plants, just to satisfy my appetite. I’m glad you like it.”

Lu Xuan poured another cup of Spiritual Juice for Ge Pu, smiling as he spoke.

“By the way, Brother Ge, what’s this about someone inviting me to help raise insects?”

“That person is a close friend of mine in the Sect, named Zhong Jing Shan. He has a unique talent for controlling insects, and is also a True Disciple of the

Sect.”

“Recently, he had to go out for about half a year, but he has many high-grade

Strange Worms in the Sect that need regular care.”

“If they were regular Insect Beasts, it would be fine to leave their care to an

Outer Sect Disciple, who can handle first or second-grade, even third-grade Strange Worms.”

“But he has a pair of fourth-grade Strange Worms that must be kept in his cave, and a few other third and fourth-grade Strange Worms, that could be in trouble if left in the care of a Qi-Cultivator.”

“I recommended you, Junior Brother Lu. You successfully solved the breeding problem of the Ancient Yin-Yang Koi Fish and settled the dying obsession of the Green Xuan Deer. I am confident you can handle the care of some Strange

Worms.”

“Once Brother Seed returns, he will, of course, give you a satisfactory reward.”

Lu Xuan contemplated.

He was confident in his ability to care for Strange Worms, keeping them fed and understanding their preferences, needs, and peculiarities.

Regardless of the reward, more importantly, making friends with a True Disciple would be beneficial.

In the vast Sky Sword Sect, there are only seventeen True Disciples, each on the verge of attaining Core Formation. Befriending one can naturally bring great benefits.

Without Ge Pu’s recommendation in the face of two Golden Core Real People when resolving the issue of the Green Xuan Deer, it would have been difficult for him, with his Foundation Establishment First-term cultivation level, to attract their attention. This would have made it impossible to get the immeasurably useful Qingmu Origin Energy.

“Okay, thankyou Brother Ge for the recommendation. I’ll give it a try.”

Lu Xuan said with a smile.

The two didri t linger. A black and white Tai Chi pattern appeared behind Ge

Pu’s head, spinning and enlarging.

Lu Xuan felt a darkness before his eyes, entering a chaotic world. Various colorful lights flashed past his eyes, and in an instant, they appeared in a broad valley.

He steadied himself, getting an initial understanding of the power level of a

True Disciple.

“This is the Insect Valley that Brother Seed specially set up for breeding Strange Worms. Inside, the terrain is complex and various formations have been arranged, which are suitable for many species of Strange Worms and

Beasts to breed.”

Ge Pu spoke calmly at his side.

Lu Xuan overlooked the Insect Valley. He could see forests, deserts, and swamps.

In the forest grew multiple strangely shaped trees. Occasionally, weird hissing sounds were heard, and through his Spiritual Sense, he could vaguely sense a large number of Strange Insect Beasts lurking inside.

The desert was a sea of red, with countless big and small pits on the ground, and smokey fumes rose from them. Numerous small mounds were scattered around. At a distance, they resembled insect eggs.

The swamp was littered with decaying trees and leaves, occasionally bulging with ghastly green bubbles signifying the presence of countless poisonous insects.

While looking around, a streak of black quickly streaked by, and a young cultivator came to a halt in front of Lu Xuan and his companion.

The cultivator had a wooden expression, his lips tightly pressed together, which gave him an impression of being reticent.

His robe caught Lu Xuan’s attention. It was a dark black robe made of countless black threads. Upon closer inspection, the black threads were actually long black worms. They stirred on his body even without wind, giving off an odd vibe.

“Brother Ge.”

The black-robed youth greeted Ge Pu, his eyes curious as he looked at Lu Xuan. “Brother Seed, this is the Junior Brother Lu Xuan I told you about. He has profound knowledge in the path of Spiritual Plants and Animals.” “Junior Brother Lu, this is Zhong Jing Shan, you can call him Brother Seed.

“Nice to meet you, Brother Seed.” Lu Xuan said respectfully, lowering his head in salute.

“Nice.” The black-robed youth replied softly, returning the salute.

Guided by him, the two of them reached a mountain within the Insect Valley. A few simple stone houses were situated on the mountain, showing Brother Seed’s indifference towards material goods.

Various insect sounds could be heard from some of the stone houses, piercing and sharp.

“Most of those stone houses are Insect Rooms built by Brother Seed to breed various Strange Insects, Junior Brother Lu can familiarize himself with them.” Ge Pu informed Lu Xuan as he observed the stone houses.

They arrived at the usual place where the black-robed cultivator entertains guests.

Zhong Jing Shan gave Lu Xuan a cup of honey with a floral aroma. The honey was golden and the viscous liquid kept transforming into various flowers.

“This is Hundred Flowers Spirit Honey, made from the Spiritual Liquid gathered by the Hundred Flowers Bee from numerous Spirit Plants and then brewed using special methods. The taste is fresh and sweet, and it also adds a bit of Spiritual Power.”

Ge Pu, who was very familiar with the black-robed youth’s temperament, introduced it on Lu Xuan’s behalf.

Lu Xuan took a sip, and instantly, a refreshing fragrance spread out in his mouth. It flowed through him, as if he were immersed in a sea of flowers.

Threads of spiritual power silently formed as the fragrance flowed, seeping into Lu Xuan’s Dantian.

“Indeed exceptional.”

Lu Xuan couldn’t help but exclaim.

The corners of the black-robed youth’s mouth twitched upward, revealing what seemed to be a smile.

“Brother Seed, I’ve brought the person over as I promised. If there’s anything he needs to know or pay attention to, you should talk to Junior Brother Lu yourself.”

Zhong Jing Shan nodded, and a piece of paper covered in tiny, dense writing floated towards Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan took the paper, glanced over it, and instantly understood.

The paper recorded information about many strange insects: their habits, breeding methods, precautions, and the various tasks he needed to undertake.

In addition, there were simple control methods for the formations in the Insect Valley and the Insect Room, as well as some crude techniques for controlling the strange insects.

Lu Xuan had previously obtained an “Insect Scripture” when solving the Water Ze Spirit Peach Worm problem from a cultivator. However, the strange beasts recorded in it were just low-rank Insect Beasts and their total value was not comparable to a few techniques of the black-robed youth.

Just based on this paper, Lu Xuan felt his trip was worthwhile.

After he memorized the information on the paper, the black-robed youth flicked his finger and an item resembling a trumpet flew towards Lu Xuan.
