Chapter 263 - Glazed Sand

  After seeing Lu Xuan's unfamiliar face, more than a dozen white jade spiders became restless and continued to fight.

  "A bunch of bad little spiders."

  Lu Xuan sighed. The insect whistle could only control these white jade spiders for a short time. Without the calming force of Jingshan, the spiders were a little too active.

  The spiritual energy in his body surged, and a series of clear and hazy spiritual lights fell on the white jade spiders in the insect room.

  The purification spell derived from the Qingmiao Lingcha can get rid of distracting thoughts and desires, making people quiet and inactive, without desires and demands.

  When the spiritual light fell, all the white jade spiders that were fighting in the melee stopped at the same time, staying quietly in the original place, with a bright white light flashing on their bodies, looking holy and peaceful.

  "Wouldn't it be better if you did this earlier!"

  "We are all family, it would be great if we love each other. Why do we have to fight and kill and hurt the harmony?"

  Lu Xuan said with a kind smile on his face and squinting eyes.

  He took out some strange insects from the storage bag, threw them into the insect room, and fed them to the giant spiders with bodies like white jade.

  With his mind focused, information about the white jade spider emerged from his mind.

  [Ningyu spider, a third-grade demon insect, is extremely fast, has legs like blades, and a body as hard as iron. The white jade spider silk it spits out has both strength and toughness, and is the main material for refining many protective magic tools. ]

  [After spinning silk, the Ningyu spider will fall into a manic state for a certain period of time, and will be very aggressive and often fight with its own kind. ]

  "So it's the sequelae of silk production."

  Lu Xuan muttered, and continued to raise more than ten Ningyu spiders.

  This Ningyu spider is a social demon insect, so Zhong Jingshan did not prevent them from fighting each other, but opened an insect room for each Ningyu spider.

  Most of the time, they are in a peaceful state. Only within a certain period of time after silk production will they become manic, violent, and very aggressive.

  Once a Ningyu spider falls into a manic state and actively attacks its own kind, it is easy to cause its own kind to counterattack, resulting in a big melee.

  While they were eating, Lu Xuan cast one purification spell after another on the white jade body. When he felt that all the condensed jade spiders were calm, he went to other insect rooms. In the

  third insect room, there was no trace of any strange insects on the wide ground, only a few small mounds formed by black and red fine sand.

  Lu Xuan's spiritual consciousness probed into it and found that there was another world inside the small mound.

  Countless gullies crisscrossed, like a huge net blended together to form an extremely complex underground maze.

  There were faint traces of burnt black on the surface of the maze passage.

  The sound of insect whistles sounded, and a slight sound came from the deepest part of the underground maze.

  Soon, countless fist-sized dark red ants drilled out from different tunnels, gathered together, and stacked up.

  Not long after, a strange existence with a height of two feet was formed, and black and red flames continued to spew out on the surface.

  The dark red ants are called Yin Fire Ants, second-grade demon insects, with a certain ability to fly. They can spit out a kind of insidious flame that falls on the enemy, like a ulcer attached to the bone, and cannot be dispersed for a long time.

  One Yin Fire Ant can be dealt with easily, but hundreds or thousands of them gathered together, it is more difficult.

  Zhong Jingshan raised such a group of Yin Fire Ants in order to practice a kind of insect armor technique, which can control the Yin Fire Ants to transform into various forms, especially to form a special armor with extremely strong defense, which can continuously replenish Yin Fire Ants.

  The talisman paper he gave to Lu Xuan recorded the simple ritual method of the insect armor technique.

  Lu Xuan looked at the many Yin Fire Ants piling up in the insect room, and he suddenly felt playful.

  He followed the insect repelling technique on the talisman paper, circulated his spiritual power, and cast a spell.   

  The strange existence formed by the Yin Fire Ants suddenly changed, forming a human body, with hands folded and placed in front of the abdomen, shoulders shaking, and the upper body moving.

  This form only lasted for two and a half minutes, and the whole body continued to collapse, and then fell down with a bang.

  "It collapsed."

  After all, it was just a crude use of some magic to drive the demon insects, and Lu Xuan used it for the first time, so even if it was just to maintain a human form, it could not be maintained for a long time.

  The many Yin Fire Ants that fell to the ground were not affected at all and crawled around in the insect room.

  Lu Xuan threw a large piece of dark red spiritual ore in the middle, and then all the Yin Fire Ants gathered around and used a long and thin flame knife to cut the dark red spiritual ore into countless small pieces, dragging them and bringing them into the underground maze.

  This piece of spiritual ore was the ore that Zhong Jingshan left for himself to feed the Yin Fire Ant colony.

  In Lu Xuan's spiritual sense, many Yin Fire Ants collected all the broken ores in the depths of the maze, and then divided them one by one according to strength and class.

  After feeding many Yin Fire Ants, Lu Xuan continued to the next insect room.

  There are seven or eight strange insects in the insect room. Their appearance is somewhat similar to the ladybugs in the previous life. Their backs are light white, and there are seven dark white marks distributed all over, forming a seven-star chain. The

  strange insect is called the Seven-Star Glassworm, a third-grade strange insect. After absorbing enough spiritual power, it can produce a strange substance called glass sand.

  This glass sand can be used to refine several rare elixirs and is very valuable.

  "Well, in layman's terms, it is the feces of the Seven-Star Glassworm."

  Lu Xuan watched with his own eyes the spiritual light flashing on the back of a Seven-Star Glassworm. One of the marks became extremely bright, and then its tail slowly pulled out a glass marble-like thing. It was

  crystal clear and bright, with faint white mist rising, not only the heat but also the spiritual light itself. What

  Lu Xuan has to do, in addition to raising these Seven-Star Glassworms, is to collect these glass sands and put them in special containers to prevent the loss of medicinal power.

  He entered the insect room, used the insect whistle to control the Seven-Star Glassworm to stay away from him, and picked up several glass sands inside one by one.

  "Don't mention it, there is a faint fragrance."

  Lu Xuan's nostrils twitched and he sighed.

  "I never thought that after entering the Tianjian Sect, I would come out to pick up big things one day..."

  "No, I picked up glass sand..."

  Lu Xuan searched every corner of the insect room and put all the glass sand into an agarwood box.

  After putting them in one by one, he carefully sealed the agarwood box with a talisman.

  Although the glass sand is a rare treasure of the third grade, and Lu Xuan is the only one in the insect room or even the entire insect valley, he has no idea of ​​coveting the treasure in front of him.

  Although he occasionally takes advantage of some things, such as drawing blood for the dragon in Qianlong Lake, he is still upright and honest in his dealings with others, and has never stolen other people's treasures.

  Moreover, Zhong Jingshan is a true disciple of the Tianjian Sect. Needless to say, he has treasures and means on his body. The production of the seven-star glass worm in the insect room does not fluctuate much, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will hide it from him and take away a few glass sand without anyone noticing.

  In a sense, all the strange insects in the entire Insect Valley are his eyes and ears.

  Lu Xuan doesn't need to take the huge risk of offending the true disciples to gain such a small benefit.

  If he has the time, he might as well plant one or two more spiritual plants. The rewards of the light balls that bloom are probably more generous than those of the glass sand.
