Chapter 215: Chapter 34 Revenge for The Murder of A Son, Vengeance Under The Same Sky!_i
In the territory, inside the wooden house.
Wang Ba sat on a somewhat crude wooden bed.
In his hand, he was holding a strange looking human-faced insect.
It was the mother Yin Devouring Insect.
When the Mother Yin Devouring Insect was taken out, it was obviously in a better condition than its previous wilted state.
However, when it saw Wang Ba, the human face on its back revealed vigilance and caution.
Wang Ba didn’t mind.
He tested it with a Spirit Light Talisman and found out that it was a top-grade Class II Spiritual Insect.
Wang Ba nodded in satisfaction promptly.
“This mother Yin Devouring Insect can hide the soul aura of Master Lin, who is at the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Presumably, it can also hide my aura,”
“However, certain considerations must be taken into account.”
“Firstly, according to Zhu Jianyi, if a Yin Devouring Mother Insect receives a large amount of nourishment from its child insect in a short amount of time, it may have adverse effects on the host, and it could even retaliate.”
“Secondly, this insect belonged to Master Lin’s Destined Spiritual Insect. Master Lin’s physical body collapsed, and it should have died too. But it only took a heavy blow and didn’t die. Is it because Master Lin’s soul is still alive, or does this insect have equal independence from the cultivator? Considering the first point, if this insect becomes my destined spiritual insect, will the ultimate fate of the host be devoured by it? This is not certain, but it’s something that needs to be noted.”
“Thirdly, if this insect is truly refined into my Destined Spiritual Insect, can it continue to ascend in grade? Otherwise, what would happen if my realm levels up one day while it remains the same? The inability to disguise its aura may result in detection by the Tianmen Cult again. However, this point doesn’t carry an immediate urgency.”
“Fourthly, if this insect is no longer needed, can it, as my Destined Spiritual Insect, be discarded? What kind of damage would it cause to me? Or, can this insect be absorbed into my second Dantian and produce an effect of hiding my soul?”
Although he coveted the powerful hiding ability of the mother Yin Devouring Insect’s aura, Wang Ba was equally wary of the uncertainty of this insect.
Before solving the safety issue of this insect, he would not take any risks to refine it.
He cast his spiritual sense outside the woodhouse.
He looked at the top-grade Class I Spirit Turtle which was infected by the child of the Yin Devouring Insect.
Compared to the previous days, there seemed no changes to this top-grade Class I Spirit Turtle, and the spiritual power fluctuations on its body seemed much stronger.
However, Wang Ba noticed, through his spiritual sense, that the back of the Spirit Turtle seemed somewhat hollowed out.
“has it begun…”
Wang Ba contemplated.
Clearly, the child of the Yin Devouring Insect takes some time to parasitize within the body of a cultivator or a Spirit Beast.
Now, it was finally time for the child to harvest.
Of course, this would still take some time.
He retracted his spiritual sense.
Wang Ba thought for a while, then placed the mother Yin Devouring Insect in front of a small jar of chicken essence.
The mother Yin Devouring Insect seemed to sense the rich spiritual energy of the chicken essence, and a look of interest immediately appeared on the human face on its back.
However, upon seeing Wang Ba, it was still full of caution and did not dare to move at all.
Seeing this, Wang Ba simply set up a small array in the wooden house to trap it, leaving the mother Yin Devouring Insect alone with the chicken essence.
The mother Yin Devouring Insect hesitated for a while, but soon immersed itself in the chicken essence, its mouthparts opening and closing rapidly as it consumed the chicken essence.
“It’s much stronger than the child.”
The child can only parasitize and would not eat.
Seeing this, Wang Ba left it alone, planning to wait until the mother Yin Devouring Insect had recovered before refining it into the body of a spirit beast to see if things would turn out as he’d guessed.
Apart from Master Lin’s mother Yin Devouring Insect, he did have some other gains from this trip.
Wang Ba took out a Spirit Beast Bag and a Storage Bag.
Both of these items came from that ‘Master Gao’.
First, he opened the Spirit Beast Bag and found that inside the bag was a black puppy with a single horn.
“What kind of Spirit Beast is this? I’ve never seen one before.”
Wang Ba was surprised, but the black puppy growled low at him as soon as it was let out.
It was apparent that it knew its master had been decapitated by Wang Ba, and therefore held strong hostility towards him.
Most canine type Spirit Beasts are rather loyal and are one of the few that do not require too much taming to cooperate with a cultivator.
Some Sects are known to deliberately cultivate canine type Spirit Beasts as their Sect’s guardian beasts.
Due to the loyalty of the canine type Spirit Beasts, even if their human cultivator owner dies, they would still guard the Sect.
Wang Ba liked the loyalty of the black dog, but didn’t like the idea of it barking at him.
“However, this black dog is also a lower-grade Class II Spirit Beast, it would be a bit of a waste to kill it. I’ll keep it for now and if I come across its kind in the future, I’ll pair them up.”
He then casually use a Class II Spirit Beast Collar to trap it and then threw it into the Spirit Beast Bag.
Then he opened ‘Master Gao’s’ storage bag.
What he saw were numerous Market Entering Orders of the Ghost Market, and a small pile of Spirit Stones specifically kept in a box.
There were about twenty or thirty middle-grade Spirit Stones.
This was extremely poor for a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
After all, just a casual Class II treasure might require several dozen middle-grade Spirit Stones.
Then, there was a Class II middle-grade hammer Magic Tool and a damaged Class II middle-grade defensive tool, as well as a Class II lower-grade flying tool.
These were all of lower quality, and Wang Ba didn’t even have the interest to keep and use them..
