Immortal Road.

Chapter 549: I Can’t Refuse My Kindness, the Rong Insect Nest

"The Insect Demon King!"

The whole audience was in an uproar. From the Jindan Zhenren to the ordinary disciples, all were shocked and most of them couldn't believe it.

How could the Demon King of the Star-Swallowing Mountains travel thousands of miles to find the Xun Gu Sect?

Lin Shan knew in his heart that this demon king, whose name he had never heard of, should be the mortal enemy of the Ming Snake Demon King, so he tracked him down all the way here.

I had just left Mixianling when he arrived there, so he found me within three days.

"So it's you, Senior Demon King. I wonder what you want from me."

Lin Shan felt a chill in his heart.

Ancestor Lu Que was right behind him, secretly sending him a message, saying that the man in front of him had unfathomable cultivation and posed a great threat, and that he was not sure he could suppress him.

During the Jindan stage, ancestor Lu Que had already reached the peak close to the Yuanying stage, but still felt that he could not deal with it. Coupled with the aura of the young Jindan and the mentioned Kuihu Demon King, he could not help but believe it.

"Don't worry, I have not violated the treaty between Lu and the two races of humans and demons in the Swallowing Star Mountains. My real body is still in my hometown. The one who came here to visit is just a bug body."

The tone of the Demon King of the Insect was nonchalant, as if it was indeed as it said, that he was just visiting.

The insect body is just an insignificant clone.

For others, an external incarnation is a very difficult thing to deal with, but for the Zerg Demon King, it seems to be a common thing.

Most people in the cultivation world know that there are many groups and camps among the demon race.

There are two most unique ones:

One is the plant and wood spirits, and the other is the insect clan.

The characteristics of plant spirits are well known. They have extremely long lifespans, but they have difficulty in moving, their intelligence is difficult to develop, their thinking is slow, they are sleepy and doze off, and it is very likely that when they wake up, everything will have changed dramatically.

The insect family is somewhat similar and somewhat opposite.

First of all, they have a short lifespan and need to survive in groups. It is difficult for a single individual to stand out in the early stages, and the only way to achieve continuous transformation is to constantly devour their own kind to advance.

But once he can grow to the level of a demon king, he will be a real big shot!

Back then in the Luosong Mountains, at the gathering of all the monsters led by the Jianjia Monster King, the Jindan-stage Bromine Worm Lord, relying on his countless clones, dared to openly challenge the Monster King's authority and refused to accept mediation and accusations. This really opened Lin Shan's eyes!

It can be seen how great the advantage of the Zerg in racial talents is!

However, with this great advantage comes low innate intelligence, extremely high difficulty in growth, and a shorter lifespan than other races.

Many things have two sides and need to be viewed from multiple angles.

When the Zerg reaches the Nascent Soul stage of the demon king, they basically have very few natural enemies.

Even if I can't beat you, I have many insect bodies and my ability to survive is still very strong, so I am extremely difficult to kill!

What's more, the Demon King of the Insect in front of him not only looks like a teenager, but he can also bully the Ming Snake Clan, a veteran force in the Swallowing Star Mountains. His transformation has already included his facial features, which is enough to show how profound his original cultivation is!

Unless there is a powerful person who is proficient in the way of the soul, or possesses the great magical power of locking the soul thousands of miles away, it is difficult to eradicate it completely.

No wonder the Kuihu Demon King in the Cliff Forbidden Land would deliberately make friends with him. He was obviously aware of the threat posed by the growing Yuanlu Demon King, so he began to recruit reinforcements everywhere and make friends with this kind of powerful and high-level old monster.

Surprisingly, Lin Shan’s name was also mentioned as a topic of conversation!
Has the relationship between the Demon King Kuihu and this old monster reached the point where they can talk about anything?

"I came here today for the demon baby of that old Mingshe."

The Demon King of the Insect spoke frankly, told him his purpose, and even had the leisure to explain it to him.

"This monster is my mortal enemy. I must not let it go and leave any uncertainties. So I have to deal with it myself!"

As he spoke, a huge pressure that far exceeded that of the Jindan stage covered the entire venue. It was the Yuanying stage that had undergone a transformation through thunder tribulation, and was the sublimation of another stage in the life level, facing the crushing pressure of the lower levels.

Lin Shan naturally understood the meaning.

If it was his own enemy, he would kill him with his own hands for peace of mind rather than leaving him in the hands of others. Who knows what might happen in the future if he did that?

The key point is, the demon baby of the Ming Snake Demon King has just been put in his hands and hasn’t even been warmed up yet, and he is about to give it away?

At this point, he didn't even think about it and took out the Soul-Locking Pot without hesitation.

Present it with both hands!

"Since you need it, then take it. This demon baby is useless in my hands, so I'll just give it to you as a gift for our first meeting!"

The Ming Snake Demon King in the Soul-Locking Pot stopped struggling at this time. He seemed to sense the approach of his enemy and shouted wildly.

"Monster King, you are still chasing me? No, no, no!"

It seemed to have thought of the consequences for itself, and was so frightened that its soul was leaving its body, and its despair was about to overflow.

Lin Shan's decisiveness was beyond everyone's imagination.

The elders of the Xun Gu Sect, allies of the Lu Jiang League, and even Master Zhou from the Yun Chuan Academy all looked over in disbelief.

Are you sure that the other party is really the incarnation of the demon king?
Deciding to offer the demon baby so quickly?
Wouldn’t that be too hasty?
The Ghostly Insect Demon King was also a little surprised. He tilted his head and sensed it. It was indeed the aura of the Ming Snake Demon King. It couldn't be fake.

"This is your gift to me, just like this, when we first met?"

Lin Shan bowed his head respectfully and brought up the soul-locking pot.

"It is my honor to be able to share the worries of the Demon King."

"What's more, you have a friendship with the Kuihu Demon King, which makes it even closer!"

"In our country of Lu, a country of etiquette, it is said that it is a great pleasure to have friends and relatives coming from afar. This kind of courtesy and respect upon meeting is also a natural thing to do and nothing surprising."

Everyone rolled their eyes when they heard this.

Just forget it!

The hearts of everyone in Xungu Sect are so black that they have turned purple. How dare they talk about a country of etiquette?
I've never seen you say this before, but now you're suddenly doing this.
Nonsence!

The people of Lujiang League had long understood the nature of their leader, so they were extremely uncomfortable with his sudden behavior.
However, this series of actions made the Demon King of the Insect feel embarrassed.

"This is so embarrassing."

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I've experienced this in the demon tribe before. Whenever a demon king arrives, the cave masters along the way will line up to pay tribute. This has been the rule since ancient times!"

“But you are human.”

"As for me, the human race, we pay more attention to etiquette. When friends and elders from the demon race come to visit us, we naturally have to use the best things to entertain them. It's reasonable and proper!"

"Well, this gift is indeed very much needed by the king."

"As long as you like it, senior, please allow me to welcome you and set up a banquet for you, and do my best to be a good host!"

"Then I will be disrespectful to refuse."

Lin Shan immediately ordered a banquet!

Please invite the Demon King of the Insect to take your seat.

Moreover, relying on his status as the leader of the alliance, he retained the Jindan Zhenren from various families in the Lujiang Alliance to accompany him, and lined up on both sides to welcome him.

This fully demonstrates what a country of etiquette is, and it is a very good show. This is the first time that the Demon King of the Insect has been treated like this in a human country, and it can be said that it is an experience he has never had before.

It was just like it was visiting another demon king's home as usual, and both sides below were filled with various Jindan-stage cave masters and demon generals waiting.

The Jindan Zhenren on both sides accompanied him trembling with fear and had no intention of drinking at all, but because Lin Shan and the Demon King Gui Chong were drinking and chatting happily above, they had to bite the bullet and receive the guests.

Looking at Lin Shan chatting and laughing above, I couldn't help but admire him.

If it were them, they would have felt uneasy and restrained. How could they dare to play like this with the Demon King?
The leader is worthy of being the leader. His bearing and courage are far beyond ours. It is true that he is not even one-tenth as good as us!

In fact, no one is born with the ability to socialize, especially with people of different races.

Lin Shan was able to be so relaxed because he had been out there for a long time and had several experiences among the demon clan. He had even seen more than two hands worth of demon kings.

But in the eyes of others, they only think that he is brave and capable.

The Demon King couldn't refuse the hospitality. Looking at the table full of seafood, he felt hesitant and felt that he should be grateful for what he had received.

"My friend, you are so generous. I originally came here with my clone just to track down the clues of the Ming Snake Demon King. You directly handed over the demon baby to me, which was beyond my expectation."

After all, although his golden elixir clone was at a good level, he was still unable to break into the Mixian Ridge and kill his old rival, the Ming Snake Demon King, and all the Ming Snake tribe members on his own.

But when they arrived at the Xun Gu Sect, there were so many Jindan Zhenren from the Lujiang League gathered together that they didn't stand a chance at all.

But Lin Shan just handed over the demon baby of the Ming Snake Demon King without saying a word. It was too easy to get it!
It felt so unreal that the old enemy that it had been chasing for so long and was so slippery had actually fallen and become its toy.

Lin Shan thought further.

He knew very well that the power of this demon king was definitely not limited to what he saw at the moment.

Although he just came here today to confirm whether the Ming Snake Demon King is in his hands, he still has to find a way to get it back in the end.

If I don't give it to you, there won't just be one clone next time!

Being targeted by such an existence will lead to eternal rest!
Therefore, it is better to send the demon baby out as soon as possible to make this great god satisfied and happy, and to avoid trouble in the future.

The matter of refining the wind-type acquired spiritual treasure can only be put on hold for the time being.

Although this opportunity is rare and the attributes of the Ming Snake Demon King are very compatible with his own, he knows his own weight and his current strength is not enough to own a "spiritual treasure" openly.

Even the two magical treasures, the Xuxing Plate and the Lieshen Sword Plate, were never shown to others.

Except for the Black Skull Demon Lord, no one knew that he had a magical treasure.

Once exposed, the witness must be killed!
And he obtained a wind-type demon baby. Not only Shui Bingyue and Zhong Shenxiu saw this, but also the five Jindan-stage cultivators of Mixianling.

This demon baby alone is enough to attract the attention of outsiders.

Especially those who aspire to be promoted to the master of weapon refining. They are just one step away from refining a magical treasure to make a name for themselves. How could they miss it?

It is even possible to ask a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage to come and rob the place!

Rather than leaving it here as a hot potato, it would be better to give it to the Demon King of the Insect and do him a favor.

There is the bond between the two, the Kuihu Demon King, so they can more or less establish a friendship.

The Demon King of the Insect was treated so grandly by the entire Lujiang League in the human world, so naturally he had to express his gratitude.

"My friend, I feel deeply indebted for your actions. I cannot take anything for nothing. Unfortunately, I am in a hurry to leave this time, so I have to..."

"Hey, Senior, this is too formal!"

Lin Shan waved his hand and then patted his chest.

"I am so happy to be able to share your worries, how can I expect anything in return?"

The hand of the Demon King of the Insect paused as he was groping backwards, and he looked into his eyes speechlessly.

From the eye contact, it is not difficult to see the boy's expectant look.

Having reached this level, who wouldn’t be a smart person?
The demon king would naturally understand the clichéd rule of reciprocity.

It touched its entire body and finally felt out a woven item with a hexagonal opening.

Under Lin Shan's puzzled gaze, he placed it on his desk hesitantly.

"Ahem, the only thing I can show off right now is this Ruinuo Insect Nest."

"See if you like it first."

"If you don't like it, you can come to the Star Swallowing Mountains to find my real body in the future, and I will pick one for you from my collection."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Shan stood up and bowed.

"I dare not refuse the gift from the elders. Thank you very much, senior!"

He accepted it without even looking at it.

The demon king is willing to exchange courtesies with you, so there is no room for being picky.

Even if this is really inappropriate, it is impossible for him to go to the Star-Swallowing Mountains in person and hang out in front of the Demon King's real body!
This behavior is purely courting death and is equivalent to playing with one's life.

He has so many secrets that he must be hiding from high-level monks. Now that they are willing to subsidize him, he is already very lucky.

Lin Shan was very content. After losing the infant of the Ming Snake Demon King, it was good to be able to recover some blood. There was no need to be perfect.

The Demon King of the Insect is just a clone, what good things can he bring?

He took the hexagonal woven fabric on the table in his hand, and the enhanced panel popped up a message:

【Grilled Insect Nest】

Quality: Fifth-level spiritual object

Introduction: The insect nest built by the silk spun by the insect king can absorb free matter in the void, accelerate the evolution, fighting, mutation and growth of the insects, and is used to cultivate the existence of the insect king.

Enhancement required: 128 points

The Demon King of the Insect didn't know that Lin Shan had a golden finger to help him identify the object, so he gave him a brief introduction to the object.

"This is one of the only two insect nests I have. It's not a big deal to exchange it for your demon baby."

"Originally, there was a newly cultivated insect king and several insect armies. When they passed through Mixian Ridge, I sent them to the Liluan Mountains to strangle the remnants of the Ming Snakes."

"I'll give you this empty insect nest!"

"If you want to try controlling insects, I can help you speed up the process of raising insects. There is a chance of mutation during the process. Whether you can cultivate an insect king depends entirely on fate."

"Of course, if you're too lazy to control insects, you can use it as a spirit beast ring. There's quite a bit of space inside."

The Insect Demon King was a real demon, and he explained the effect to him in detail.

After all, it is a treasure that he made himself, and it is more detailed than the description on the enhancement panel, but it does not say that it was made by his own silk.

Lin Shan thanked him immediately, knowing that as a fifth-level spiritual object, this thing was a perfect treasure for raising insects, and in the hands of some people its value was no less than that of a demon baby.

If the monks from the Song Dynasty's Beast Taming Valley knew about this, they would probably be willing to pay any price!

Do I have to seriously consider playing with insects in the future?
