Chapter 294: I can't agree with it, the method of exterminating insects [Subscribe]

There wasn't much in Shen Borong's storage bag.

This is also normal.

After all, their coming to Yang State was an adventure in itself. Apart from some necessary things, it was impossible for them to bring too many spirit coins and some precious things that were not needed.

However, Zhou Mingde had already gained huge gains from the relics of the Jindan stage cultivators, so he didn't care much about it.

After rummaging through his storage bag, he quickly found what he was looking for.

It was a jade box, the same jade box that Shen Borong had previously used to store talismans.

When the jade box was opened at this time, the situation inside made Zhou Mingde slightly stunned.

He saw that there was no talisman in the jade box as he expected, but only an empty box.

It's not accurate to say that it's an empty box, because there's still a little bit of ash inside.

Of course Zhou Mingde knew exactly where the ashes came from.

After all, he had used the talisman before and knew clearly what would happen after the talisman's power was exhausted.

Recalling now that Shen Borong hurriedly put the talisman into the jade box, it seems to indirectly confirm this point.

However, this result was undoubtedly far from what Zhou Mingde had expected.

He originally thought that there should be a talisman inside!
When he saw Shen Borong display the powerful power of the talisman, and yet he was unwilling to continue using the talisman to kill the green-faced zombie, he suspected that the other party was intentionally keeping the talisman for use when he turned against him in the future.

Therefore, when dealing with the green-faced zombie, he realized that his strength was inferior to Shen Borong and Ruan Hongzhuang, so he chose to strike first and launch a sneak attack on Shen Borong first.

However, it now seems that Shen Borong's actions at the time were completely bluffing.

The reason why he hurriedly put the exhausted talisman into the jade box was probably because he wanted to use the tiger skin of the talisman to gain more benefits for himself when the treasure was divided later!

After figuring it all out, Zhou Mingde sighed with a complicated expression and said, "So, it seems that I have been a villain for once!"

Shen Borong may not be considered a gentleman.

But in fact, his sneak attack on Shen Borong was undoubtedly a truly despicable act.

It is impossible to say that he has no remorse in his heart.

But now that it's done, even if I know now that I was wrong, there's nothing I can do.

After a brief moment of self-blame, Zhou Mingde calmly packed up all his things and walked out of the secret room.

He has been practicing for nearly three hundred years, and has experienced many storms and waves. He has also done bad things in the eyes of ordinary people more than once.

There is no longer a situation where one is filled with guilt and unable to forgive oneself after doing something bad.

In his eyes, as long as the benefits are great enough, he would do anything, even murder and arson.

This is also the idea of ​​most cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation.

People like Zhou Chun who stick to their principles are extremely rare in the world of immortal cultivation.

After leaving the secret room, Zhou Mingde quickly called Zhou Chun into the quiet room and answered Zhou Chun's previous questions.

But when answering Zhou Chun, he didn't tell the whole truth.

Although he also mentioned that he had attacked Shen Borong based on mere speculation, he did not mention the fact that the talisman was not found later.

After all, he is Zhou Chun's elder, and even if he did something bad, he doesn't want Zhou Chun to know too much.

Moreover, he knew Zhou Chun's character. If he told the truth, he was afraid that this matter would be difficult for Zhou Chun to accept.

In fact, even what he said made Zhou Chun frown.

"Grand Elder, I find it difficult to agree with your approach!"

After hesitating for a long time, Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Mingde and said what he was thinking.

Zhou Chun would never do such a thing as attacking a teammate fighting side by side with him based solely on his own conjecture and imagination.

Even if he had the same speculation in his mind, the most he could do was to withdraw from the team in advance, or make relevant preparations and wait until the other party actually took action before taking counterattack.

In this kind of matter, actively harming others and passively defending oneself are two completely different concepts.

The former is a typical evil act, while the latter is a natural and just act that no one can find fault with.

Facing Zhou Chun's opposition, Zhou Mingde was not angry. He just looked at him calmly and said, "Zhengchun, you have your own ideas, which is normal. I don't necessarily require you to agree with my approach, but to learn from me."

He said this calmly, as if he had done nothing wrong.

After hearing this, Zhou Chun felt very uncomfortable.

Maybe this is the cruelty of this world!
Most of the time, no one will punish or judge people who do bad things or wrong things.

That’s why many people don’t feel any psychological burden about doing bad things and just do it.

"Junior knows!"

With a sigh in his heart, Zhou Chun nodded slightly to show that he understood.

It is impossible for him to learn from Zhou Mingde, but he also cannot impose his own ideas on Zhou Mingde.

Perhaps seeing that Zhou Chun was in a bad mood, Zhou Mingde did not immediately tell him about the harvest, but just asked him to go back and rest first.

Then he sorted out the books he had obtained and read the techniques of taming beasts and expelling insects left by the tomb owner.

In the process of sorting out the classics, Zhou Mingde soon made an amazing discovery.

It turned out that he found an autobiography of the tomb owner among the ancient books.

According to the tomb owner's autobiography, his original surname was Han and his given name was Yuan.

The owner of the tomb, named Han Yuan, was not from Yang State, but from Di State. He came from a sect in Di State called Qianling Sect.

The Qianling Sect is famous in the Di Kingdom for its insect repelling skills, and it is said that there are a thousand kinds of spiritual insects in the sect.

Although the Qianling Sect is quite famous in the Di Kingdom, it has never produced a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. It has always been a medium-sized sect similar to the Sanjue Sect.

Han Yuan was originally the deputy leader of Qianling Sect. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the leader of Qianling Sect in the future.

However, because he was too obsessed with collecting all kinds of strange insects and exotic insects recorded in the Qianling Sect's classics, and too obsessed with cultivating all kinds of strange insects, he violated the Qianling Sect's taboos. Here we must mention the origin of the Qianling Sect.

The founder of this sect was also a man with great ambitions.

He was a victim of an insect plague. His entire family was devoured by the plague, and he was the only one who survived.

From then on, he was determined to study all kinds of evil insects and find ways to deal with them so that his own tragedy would never happen to others.

He himself had extraordinary talent, and later had other opportunities, and inherited some insect repellent techniques.

After he became a Jindan-stage cultivator, he founded Qianling Sect, hoping to train someone who could inherit his aspirations and legacy.

After thousands of years of inheritance and development, the younger generations of Qianlingmen have inherited the will of their ancestors and continued to conduct in-depth research on the art of insect repelling, while also vigorously collecting various strange and exotic insects in the world of immortal cultivation as research objects.

What outsiders don’t know is that during Qianling Sect’s research process, there have been several small-scale insect plagues, resulting in the deaths of many sect members.

Later, Qianling Sect formulated rules to prohibit its members from studying certain forbidden techniques.

However, Han Yuan was so obsessed with the study of insect repellent and the cultivation of strange and exotic insects that he ignored the sect rules and studied some forbidden techniques.

Due to an accident, his secret research on forbidden techniques was exposed.

And because the accident caused considerable losses to Qianling Sect, even though Han Yuan was a Jindan-stage cultivator and the deputy sect leader, he could not escape punishment.

Not only was he stripped of his deputy headship, he was also put in solitary confinement for a hundred years, and was forbidden to continue to conduct related research.

This punishment was naturally hard for Han Yuan to accept!

So in order to continue his unfinished research, he chose to break out, took away Qianlingmen and Diguo with many strange and exotic insects collected by Qianlingmen, and fled to Yangguo to live in seclusion for research.

Because he was too obsessed with studying the art of breeding insects, Han Yuan's cultivation eventually stopped at the middle stage of the Golden Core.

Originally, before his death, he was planning to return to the Qianling Sect in Di Country to sit in meditation and pass away, and return the treasures and research materials he had collected throughout his life to the sect.

But what he didn't expect was that Qianlingmen had been destroyed hundreds of years ago, and the one who destroyed Qianlingmen was a powerful force that he was completely unable to resist.

Things have come to this point, and Han Yuan has no choice but to feel sad and grief-stricken.

So he returned to Yangguo, found a suitable place to build a mausoleum, built an underground mausoleum for himself, and stored all he had learned throughout his life in a storage bag.

He was in a very complicated mood at the time. He didn't want his life's work to be ruined, but he also didn't want to let outsiders get it too easily.

This is why there are so many designs inside the underground mausoleum.

What shocked Zhou Mingde greatly was that after reading Han Yuan's autobiography and his notes on researching various strange and exotic insects, he suddenly discovered that the insect plague that wreaked havoc on Yang State was most likely directly related to Han Yuan.

Because during Han Yuan's research, he used the forbidden technique of Qianling Sect to forcibly graft the bloodline of a demon insect called "Thousand Change Cricket" onto a demon insect called "Soul Devouring Ant".

Although in Han Yuan's own notes, this experiment seemed to have failed.

However, after Zhou Mingde looked at the illustrations of the "Thousand-Change Cricket" and the "Soul-Devouring Ant", he found that the appearances of these two evil insects were somewhat similar to the evil insects that were wreaking havoc in Yang State today.

Considering that no one has ever seen this kind of monster insect before, and no one knows it, and it possesses the powerful alienation ability of the "Thousand-Change Cricket" and the powerful reproduction ability of the "Soul-Devouring Ant".

Zhou Mingde had to boldly guess that this monster insect was most likely the mutated monster insect that Han Yuan had cultivated using forbidden techniques!

After making this guess, he was extremely shocked, and then hurriedly studied the classics and personal autobiography left by Han Yuan.

After another careful study, Zhou Mingde finally found some clues.

According to Han Yuan's records, once he used a forbidden technique to cultivate a hundred alien insect eggs, he left for a while because of something urgent.

When he came back, he found that his underground laboratory had been broken into and many of his collection of monster insects and their eggs had been devoured by a ground-armored dragon.

And the one hundred alien insect eggs were completely gone at that time.

Afterwards, Han Yuan killed the earth dragon and obtained an earth dragon egg.

At that time, he didn't care too much about the missing 100 alien insect eggs, thinking that they were all eaten by the earth dragon.

He tried it a few more times, but when he saw that there were no successful results, he gave up the experiment.

If Zhou Mingde's judgment was correct, the one hundred alien insect eggs that Han Yuan cultivated were not all devoured by the earth dragon, and some alien insects were successfully hatched!

According to Han Yuan's own records of this experiment, if the breeding is successful, the new alien insects should have powerful evolutionary capabilities and strong underground survival capabilities. However, he is not sure whether their reproductive ability can maintain the level of the "Soul-Devouring Ants".

From this, we can infer that the alien insects that were successfully hatched at that time should still have some reproductive defects and could not reproduce on a large scale.

In recent years, these alien insects that have been slowly multiplying may have made up for the defects in their bloodlines through generations of reproduction and evolution, and restored the powerful reproductive ability of the "Soul-Devouring Ants".

As a result, these unknown alien insects that had been living underground suddenly began to multiply wildly and grew, eventually forming an insect plague!

"If this is true, then there is hope of eradicating this insect plague!"

Zhou Mingde looked at the pile of classics in front of him, and his eyes were filled with joy.

Having already studied these classics, he certainly knew that Han Yuan had prepared relevant methods to deal with the mutated monster insects before the experiment.

This is also the practice of Qianlingmen.

After many lessons, Qianling Sect has instilled relevant concepts in its disciples since childhood. Before researching and breeding new species of demon insects, regardless of whether they will be successful or not, they must prepare relevant insect extermination measures based on the blood characteristics of the original demon insects.

In this way, once a new species of monster insect is really bred and cannot be controlled, the insect control methods prepared in advance can be put to use quickly.

Perhaps the measures prepared in advance are not completely applicable, but they are definitely useful relatively speaking.

Although Han Yuan broke out of the door at that time, he actually still considered himself a member of Qianling Sect in his heart, and he always followed this rule when conducting relevant research and experiments.

Therefore, after searching, Zhou Mingde quickly found the insect extermination methods that Han Yuan had prepared at that time.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or if this is the custom of Qianlingmen.

The method Han Yuan prepared to kill insects was to use poison!
The formula of this poison was prepared specifically for the bloodline characteristics of the two demon insects, the "Thousand-Change Cricket" and the "Soul-Devouring Ant". It was effective in dealing with both types of demon insects and could easily kill demon insects of corresponding strength depending on the dosage.

In other words, now Zhou Mingde only needs to prepare the poison according to the several poison formulas prepared by Han Yuan, and then test the poison on the captured monster insects to find out whether the poison formula is effective against the monster insects.

"I still have to discuss this matter with Zhengchun. If it is really feasible, my Zhou family will be rich!"

With joy surging in his eyes, Zhou Mingde quickly called Zhou Chun to the quiet room with great joy and told Zhou Chun about his discovery.
