Chapter 641: End of the Divine Pattern
"How many resources can a mere Qi Refining Realm disciple possibly consume? Just cultivate her in secret. Back when Winged Serpent Village had so many saintesses, Old Ghost Qin chose none of them and instead picked Mute Girl. Perhaps she might become the link between us and Old Ghost Qin."
Cui Xuanzi waved his hand, signaling Junior Brother Tong to withdraw.
The secret chamber fell into stillness. Cui Xuanzi summoned his life-bound insect gu, a scorpion the size of his palm.
The scorpion was pure white, its skin smooth and glossy like warm jade. Its venomous tail, however, shimmered faintly, almost illusory.
This was the Venomous Illusory-Tailed Scorpion, one of Five-Insect Sect’s most expertly cultivated insects.
Cui Xuanzi gently stroked the scorpion. A moment later, a smaller Venomous Illusory-Tailed Scorpion crawled out from the belly of the larger one and affectionately rubbed itself against his fingertip.
Its presence was much weaker, only at the peak of the first metamorphosis.
Looking at the two scorpions, one large and one small, Cui Xuanzi sighed softly.
Both of them were his life-bound insect gu.
Back then, when Cui Xuanzi used the blood refinement method to forge his life-bound insect gu, he discovered that the egg contained a pair of identical twins.
There were two methods for blood-refining an insect gu.
One involved using a mature insect, which, after blood refinement, would revert into its larval form regardless of its previous level.
