One person: I, Daoist Master, am a cultivator of immortality!

The pill he concocted, seemingly a medicinal elixir but actually a poisonous insect, was thrown into the main hall. Before it even hit the ground, it exploded, turning into powder that scattered throughout the hall. As if attracted by the scent of the powder, the centipedes in the hall all stood up, seemingly enduring the baptism of the powder.

But the next second, these centipedes began devouring each other. The battle spread rapidly, and in no time, all the centipedes in the hall were tearing each other apart. It was as if the hall had transformed into a Gu cauldron, within which Sun Yao was refining Gu worms by having poisonous insects devour each other. This was originally the method for refining the Golden Cicada Gu, but he was using a different kind of Gu worm, the Purple-Backed Heavenly Centipede. The Purple-Backed Heavenly Centipede was a legendary Gu worm recorded in the Gu Refining Manual.

Unlike the Silver-Winged Arrow, the method for refining the Purple-Backed Heavenly Centipede is actually quite simple, and its main ingredients are not difficult to find. The biggest challenge is using a hundred-year-old Heartbreak Grass as an auxiliary ingredient. If he hadn't just found the Heartbreak Grass on that cliff, he would have really had to resort to some tricks to deal with the sea of ​​centipedes in the main hall today.

In just a quarter of an hour, the sea of ​​centipedes in the hall had completely devoured each other. Only a sphere composed of centipede corpses remained, constantly expanding and shrinking as if it were breathing. Everyone stared at this sphere in stunned silence; after all, it looked too eerie, and no one dared to touch it.

"Master Dao, what is this thing?" This time, it wasn't Hua Maguai who came out to ask, but Hong Guniang. This immediately revealed that it involved the young Daoist's methods. Since Hong Guniang was asking, the young Daoist wouldn't hold a grudge against her because she was a girl.

"This is a Gu worm I refined using a special method. I used the medicinal powder I just refined to stimulate the fighting spirit of these centipedes. After they kill each other, a worm king will be produced, just like the Miao Village Golden Silkworm Gu that terrifies the world. This worm king is currently being nurtured inside this thing. When it emerges from its cocoon, it will be a Gu worm no weaker than the Golden Silkworm Gu, the Purple-backed Heavenly Centipede."

"Purple-backed Heavenly Centipede? Is it that powerful? I've never heard of any legends about it."

"Of course it's powerful. This Gu worm, like the Golden Silkworm Gu, is a legendary Gu worm. The Golden Silkworm Gu feeds on Gu worms, while this one feeds on poison. There's no poison in the world that it can't eat, and these poisons will continuously fuse and evolve within its body, eventually becoming an incurable poison. As the Purple-Backed Centipede continues to evolve, its toxins will also continue to evolve. In the end, there will be no antidote for the Purple-Backed Centipede's toxins except for the Purple-Backed Centipede itself, and it will become one of my trump cards."

As Sun Yao spoke, he put away the spherical polymer, not into his magic bag, but instead took out a pouch and hung it on his waist. Although the magic bag, like the Devouring Bag, can hold living things, those living things must be unconscious, which is the same as the Devouring Bag.

Although the Purple-backed Centipede is evolving, this does not affect its normal consciousness. Therefore, it is impossible to put it into the treasure pouch; we can only find a bag to hang on our waist and wait for it to complete its evolution.

Speaking of the Silver-Winged Arrow, it's the same; without a suitable place to store it, it's just been sitting on his hair ornament. Sun Yao thought to himself as he touched the Silver-Winged Arrow, which was like an ornament on his hair ornament, feeling a little sorry for it.

Just as Sun Yao was thinking this, a loud crashing sound rang in his ears. It was clearly the sound of a huge multi-legged animal climbing. Perhaps the ordinary people of the Unloading Ridge Sect present could not hear it clearly, but to Sun Yao, an extraordinary person, the sound was as if it had been amplified dozens of times and he could hear it very clearly.

"Everyone, evacuate the main hall! Something's coming, and you can't handle it!"

Sun Yao quickly realized that this was the six-winged centipede. He had already wiped out so many of its offspring; it would be strange if it could still tolerate this. After all, it was a monster with hundreds of years of cultivation; it was probably on its way to becoming an immortal. It was just a pity that it was a venomous creature that had become refined and couldn't dissolve its bones; otherwise, it might have been able to cultivate like the five immortals of Northeast China—the fox, weasel, white ash, and willow—and live a carefree life.

After speaking, Sun Yao immediately tossed a flashing talisman into the main hall. Sai Huohou and Dilibeng, upon hearing Sun Yao's words, didn't hesitate and immediately climbed up the pillar. After all, their chief had certified this Taoist's abilities, and they had heard about how this Taoist had struck Luo Laowai with lightning the previous night. They all knew that although this young Taoist looked very young, he possessed genuine skills, and his words were undeniably convincing.

Just as Saihuohou and Dilibeng climbed up the pillar and ran out onto the roof, the flashing talisman that Sun Yao threw out also suddenly lit up in the hall, and the huge figure of the six-winged centipede appeared in everyone's eyes.

"Damn it, what kind of monster is this?! They say that bad people come from poor and remote places, but this damn poor and remote place produces monsters?!" Upon seeing the six-winged centipede, Luo Laowai immediately began swearing. Actually, this was a manifestation of fear. Some people tremble at the sight of frightening things, while others curse loudly upon seeing what frightens them; everyone's reaction is different.

"This thing must be the ancestor of this sea of ​​centipedes in the hall. I just wiped out all its offspring, and it's come out for revenge. But that's perfect timing. I killed a white fox at the foot of the mountain, but that fox wasn't old enough to form an inner core. This thing seems old enough; it might have already formed an inner core. This is a rare find, and I must get its inner core today. With this inner core, it might be worth several years of my arduous cultivation."

As Sun Yao spoke, he went against the flow of the crowd and jumped directly down through the large hole in the roof of the main hall. While everyone else fled from there, he went against the flow and jumped down.

"You wicked beast, judging by your six pairs of wings, you must have lived in this world for six cycles of sixty years. Perhaps even longer, but you were not yet sentient before those six cycles, so that doesn't count. In six cycles, you should have already cultivated your inner core. Today, I will take your inner core to help me attain enlightenment! Behold the thunder, five thunderbolts strike you down!"
