Chapter 43 Gold-Eating Insect
"Soul restriction? Fine, then I'll give you a chance."
Qingfeng smiled slightly.
He raised his hand and grabbed at the air, and the second brother with the curved knife immediately felt a sharp pain in his soul.
Then a wisp of primordial soul power was forcibly extracted and merged into a black restriction token that Qingfeng had taken out.
As the young master of Qingyang Sect, he knows quite a few of these demonic methods.
The token in Qingfeng's hand flashed with light.
The second brother with the curved sword immediately felt a close connection between himself and the token.
"This is the Soul-Locking Token; your life or death is entirely in my hands."
Qingfeng fiddled with the token.
"Stay put in the Whale Gang and they will contact you via token if anything comes up."
If you dare to harbor any disloyalty, or fail to perform your duties effectively... I will let you experience what it means to wish you were dead.
"This junior dares not! This junior will certainly do everything in my power to serve my master to the death!"
"The second brother with the curved knife said quickly."
Although his soul was taken, his life was saved.
"Hmm, your codename will be Scimitar. Clean up this junk and get out of here."
Qingfeng put away the storage bag containing spirit stones, then waved his hand and stopped looking at him.
Seeing this, Curved Blade quickly put all the belongings of the Giant Whale Gang members into his storage bag, then turned and left.
After the farce ended, Qingfeng divided up all the items, while Han Li, who had also been busy for half a day, didn't get to lick any of the bags.
As the eldest brother, Qingfeng naturally saw through Han Li's thoughts.
"Brother Han, you helped out just now, here are some spirit stones. There are many places in Tianxing City that need spirit stones."
Qingfeng casually took out more than a hundred spirit stones and threw them to Han Li.
"This... thank you, brother, but I'll accept it without hesitation."
Han Li accepted the spirit stones and quickly expressed his gratitude.
He witnessed the entire process of how Qingfeng handled the matter.
First, overwhelm them with absolute strength, then establish rules to force them to fight amongst themselves, and finally subdue those who can be used, using both kindness and force.
He acts decisively and ruthlessly, and seems to be able to see through people's hearts, which is completely inconsistent with his reputation as a playboy!
"My brother Qingfeng is shrewd and calculating, always planning before acting, and his strength is unfathomable. His mind is comparable to that of an old monster, and he also possesses such methods."
In this chaotic starry sea of the future, he's destined to be a powerful figure who stirs up storms. I need to latch onto this powerful ally now.
Han Li thought to himself.
On Kuixing Island, he felt as if he had no secrets in Qingfeng's eyes.
As soon as he sticks out his butt, Qingfeng knows what kind of poop he's going to take.
"Brother Han? Brother Han? Let's go, let's go see your cave. Once you're ready, we'll return to the fleet and head to Tianxing City."
Qingfeng noticed that Han Li was in a daze and found it strange.
Why is Han Dali spacing out?
"Okay! Great!"
Han Li snapped out of his daze and quickly took out the array plate, activating the entrance channel of the Reversed Five Elements Array.
The two entered, and Qingfeng's gaze swept over the Inverted Five Elements Formation. With his current mastery of formations, he could easily break this formation.
"Brother Qing, the finger-flicking sword strike you just used seems somewhat similar to a move from the 'Azure Origin Sword Manual'?"
Han Li walked ahead. After pondering for a moment, he couldn't suppress his doubts and asked Qing Feng.
"Oh, this? I took a quick look at it a while ago and I think the 'Qingyuan Sword Manual' you have is pretty good."
I then incorporated several of the more practical sword techniques into the martial arts I had learned.
Qingfeng said casually.
"what?"
Han Li paused in his steps.
What does my brother Qingfeng mean?
All things considered, the transaction between the two parties lasted no more than seven days.
You said you glanced at my main cultivation technique, understood its principles, and even incorporated the sword techniques and spells from it into your own technique.
If it were anyone else, Han Li might think he was bragging, but the sword light that Brother Qing just used definitely had the shadow of the Qingyuan sword light.
Furthermore, the sword magic used by the eldest brother was accompanied by cyan flames, making it far more powerful than the original Azure Origin Sword Aura.
"Why have you stopped?"
Qingfeng was somewhat surprised to see Han Li stop.
Is this still the cautious and prudent Han Li?
How many times has he spaced out today?
"Oh, sorry, I was thinking about something just now."
Han Li quickly continued forward, removing the other defensive formations hidden within the Inverted Five Elements Formation.
"I'm not trying to be mean, Brother Han, it's fine for you to space out in front of me. But when you're cultivating alone in the future, you'll need to concentrate."
As the eldest brother, Qingfeng began to teach Han Li.
Han Li realized he had lost his composure today and nodded repeatedly in agreement, promising to be more careful in the future.
After Han Li opened the gate, the two entered the cave.
Han Li's cave dwelling didn't contain anything of value. He came back this time to put away the spiritual herbs he had planted and the spiritual pets he had raised.
"Huh? Where did my spirit insect go?"
Han Li frowned. He had only been gone for a month, yet the spirit insects hadn't made a sound at all.
It's good that the spirit insects are gone, because they were all eaten by the gold-devouring insects.
Seeing Han Li walk toward the insect-breeding room with a puzzled look, Qingfeng followed behind.
The insect-breeding room was a stone chamber that Han Li carved out himself in a stone wall.
Before leaving, he set up some restrictions to prevent the larvae being raised inside from breaking through the walls and escaping.
But when he and Qingfeng entered the insect-breeding room, the scene that greeted their eyes was that the stone door was riddled with holes, like a honeycomb.
The interior was completely empty; there was nothing there.
"Where are my insects? Where are the larvae of those amazing insects I raised?!"
Han Li was stunned. When he returned to tidy up his cave, the most important thing was these rare insect larvae that he had finally managed to collect.
"Brother, it seems some uninvited guests have settled in your cave."
Qingfeng then used his divine sense to scan Han Li's cave dwelling and quickly discovered the Gold-Eating Insect swarm that had just condensed into a silver ball under a tree in Han Li's small medicinal field where he was planting spiritual herbs.
It seems that these gold-devouring insects have only been here for a short time. After they finished eating the other spirit insects that Han Li raised, they had already eaten some of the medicinal herbs in the herb garden.
"uninvited guest!"
Han Li also quickly used his divine sense to investigate and saw the silver ball as well.
"If I'm not mistaken, these things must have crawled into Brother Han's cave from underground."
Qingfeng walked with his hands behind his back towards the medicinal herb field in the adjacent stone chamber.
Seeing this, Han Li quickly followed. Since his own insects were gone, he was naturally not going to let this thing off the hook.
After the two entered the stone chamber of the medicine field, Han Li saw the insect shells on the ground and quickly took out a green jade slip.
It was the insect-breeding experience of the Spirit Control Sect cultivator he killed, who had possessed Qu Hun, and a ranking of the "Strange Insects List" that went from popular to unpopular.
"No need to check anymore, this thing is a Gold-Eating Insect, ranked twelfth on the list of rare insects."
It devours metals and spiritual energy, is extremely ferocious, is impervious to water and fire, and likes to gather in groups on spheres, dwelling under spiritual trees.
Jade and wood can trap, while spiders and other strange insects are mutually restraining.
Before Han Li could find any relevant information, Qing Feng had already explained the origin of the silver ball.
After all, when Han Li made the deal with Qing Feng, Qing Feng also copied a copy of the jade slip insights from the Yu Ling Sect cultivators.
However, the insect control technique of the Spirit Control Sect is not difficult, and he has already mastered it without even having to spend spirit stones to deduce it.
"Big brother means that this silver ball is a swarm of gold-devouring insects!"
Han Li was both surprised and delighted.
"Yes, but these little things seem to have a bit of a temper. Brother Han, step back and watch your big brother subdue them."
Qingfeng summoned his magic weapon, the Three Emperors Prison Suppressing Hammer, and smashed it fiercely towards the silver ball.
