Chapter 266: Thunderstrike Wood

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Zhong JingShan subconsciously dared to disbelief.

He looked towards the interior of the insect chamber.

The first thing that caught his eye was the still-thin male insect, lying quietly on the ground, motionless.

Several days after the great battle, even with Lu Chen nourishing it daily with poisonous insects from Insect Valley, the male insect still looked emaciated.

Behind the male insect, the female insect quietly huddled in a corner, the three lumps on her back highly visible.

Seeing those three lumps, Zhong JingShan's pupils contracted, his heart filled with joy and surprise.

Getting this pair of Hundred Poison Heart-devouring Insects to conceive had been a major problem troubling him in recent years.

The Hundred Poison Heart-devouring Insects were inherently fourth-grade creatures; the higher the grade, the more difficult it was to breed offspring. Additionally, this particular pair had been raised together by Zhong JingShan since they were young, their bond more akin to siblings than lovers. As such, their deep familial love far outweighed any carnal desires, and despite trying many methods, he had been unable to get them to conceive.

Unexpectedly, after just one trip away, he had returned to find that the pair had secretly mated behind his back!

"How did you do it?"

Although it was a direct question, it might have been a bit inappropriate as it could involve Lu Chen's privacy. However, Zhong JingShan was too curious to hold back his inquiry.

"I used an aphrodisiac miasma produced by a spirit herb that I planted myself, and it seems to have worked quite well."

Lu Chen replied with a smile.

To facilitate the successful mating of the pair of insects, he had exhausted most of the pink miasma produced by the Enchanting Peach spirit herb.

He had cultivated several Enchanting Peach spirit herbs to obtain that amount of miasma, and the large quantity, combined with the deep bond between the Hundred Poison Heart-devouring Insects, had finally led to success.

Therefore, this method couldn't be frequently employed.

Hearing this, Zhong JingShan nodded but didn't inquire further.

The two men then arrived at the insect chamber where the Demon Blade Black Mantis was kept.

"Senior Brother, please wait a moment. While cultivating this mantis demon insect, I suddenly thought of a little game that could train the Demon Blade Black Mantis' killing techniques and also stimulate its innate killing intent, fostering a closer bond with it."

Just as Zhong JingShan was about to step into the insect chamber, Lu Chen stopped him.

Immediately, dozens of strange insects were launched from different angles and at different times into the depths of the darkness. Zhong JingShan witnessed the Demon Blade Black Mantis' incredible ability to slice through these insects in the dark.

"Not bad."

He nodded in admiration. With his insight as a direct disciple, he could tell at a glance that this little game would greatly promote the growth of the Demon Blade Black Mantis.

Lu Chen's clever idea gave him a refreshing feeling.

After the Demon Blade Black Mantis silently emerged from the darkness, having devoured all the bisected strange insect corpses, it glanced at Lu Chen and only then noticed its owner standing beside him.

"I was here first..."

Zhong JingShan sighed silently, an absurd thought flashing through his mind that someone had snatched his beloved right before his eyes.

However, the surprises that Lu Chen had in store for him were not yet over.

In the chamber where the Jade Weaving Spiders were kept, Lu Chen had partitioned off three small quiet rooms in one corner. Inside one of them was a white jade spider the size of a grindstone quietly spinning its silk, while in the other two rooms, two Jade Weaving Spiders crawled restlessly, wanting to fight but unable to find a target.

"Senior Brother Zhong, while feeding these Jade Weaving Spiders, I accidentally discovered three minor abnormalities in their behavior just before they started spinning their silk."

"Their appetite increased, they exhibited food guarding behavior, and they actively avoided friction on their abdomens."

"After noticing these signs, I could easily identify which Jade Weaving Spiders were about to spin their silk and isolate them from the others. Once they calmed down, I released them back, thus preventing chaotic fights from breaking out.

The table was detailed and straightforward, causing Zhong JingShan to nod in approval.

Seven Star Glaze Bug Insect Chamber

"Senior Brother Zhong, this is the Glaze sand I've collected over the past three months."

After confirming that all the Seven Star Lapis Lazuli Bugs were thriving, Lu Chen retrieved a sandalwood wooden box from his storage bag.

Zhong JingShan's eyes swept over it, his expression calm, but his heart gave a slight yelp.

The amount of Glaze sand that Lu Chen handed over was even more than he had imagined.

Based on his usual experience of cultivating the Seven Star Glaze Bugs, it was impossible to obtain this amount of Glaze sand in just three months.

There was only one possibility—Lu Chen had taken better care of these bugs than he usually did, thereby increasing the yield of Luminous Jade sand.

According to his original idea, it wouldn't have mattered if Lu Chen had handed over a smaller amount of colored glaze sand.

Even if Lu Chen had been greedy and kept some for himself, he would have turned a blind eye and pretended not to notice.

But the fact that there was more Lapis Lazuli sand than expected left him unsure of how to respond.

Back in the stone house, as he thought about the various insect chambers, he felt increasingly satisfied.

"Would Brother Lu be willing to stay in the Insect Valley for the long term and help me raise these magical bugs?"

He pondered for a moment before suddenly asking.

Lu Chen's expression froze, and after a moment's thought, he politely declined with a smile.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Senior Brother Zhong. I'm used to my lazy lifestyle and prefer to tend to my spiritual herbs and beasts on my own."

"Alright."

Zhong JingShan didn't say anything more. He himself had a similar personality, so he understood Lu Chen's decision. It was just that Lu Chen's exceptional talent in rearing magical beasts had prompted him to ask.

"You've worked hard, Junior Brother."

As he spoke, a pile of sword seals appeared in front of Lu Chen.

Lu Chen knew that this was his reward for his hard work over the past few months, so he didn't hesitate to accept it.

"This Thunderstrike Wood was something I acquired by chance. It's still vibrant and should be able to sustain life."

A dried-up piece of wood appeared in front of Lu Chen. The wood was charred in several places, the marks interconnected like veins of thunder.

Although it appeared to be dead wood on the outside, when Lu Chen probed it with his spiritual sense, he could feel a unique vitality born from destruction.

Lu Chen felt as if he were witnessing a mighty thunderbolt striking a giant spiritual wood, instantly burning it down, leaving only this small piece of Thunderstrike Wood with its tenacious life force.

"So many sword seals, plus a rare piece of Thunderstrike Wood. Are true disciples usually this wealthy?"

Lu Chen took the dried-up piece of wood and couldn't help but exclaim.

Even if this piece of Thunderstrike Wood couldn't be cultivated, it could still be used to create flying swords, wooden talismans, and other artifacts, making it extremely valuable.

Recalling how he had helped Ge Pu with the Yin-Yang Kunyu's advancement issue and received a Sword Token in return, which granted him access to the Langyue Blessed Land and led to him obtaining the Phoenix Wood and the Ghost Demon Vine, Lu Chen realized that the opportunities within the sect were indeed abundant.

Now, just by helping to raise magical beasts for a few months, he had received hundreds of sword seals and a rare piece of Thunderstrike Wood from Zhong JingShan, another true disciple.

This gave Lu Chen a more direct understanding of the wealth of true disciples.
