Qin Xuan said, a bit excited.
The Gu Insect Compendium naturally contains the incubation processes for various rare insect eggs.
If he had the eggs, Qin Xuan could use them to hatch the larvae of the Heavenly Poison Centipede.
Once the larvae hatched, Qin Xuan could perform a blood-dripping recognition of a master and imprint a Mental Energy mark.
“Heh, when the time comes, I’ll throw the Heavenly Poison Centipede larvae into this Taihuang Space. The time flow here is a hundred times faster than outside. As long as the Heavenly Poison Centipede can continuously improve its strength, in just one year, this Centipede will grow into a hundred-year Centipede.”
Qin Xuan calculated in his mind.
At that time, he would only need to periodically enter and continuously strengthen the Mental Energy mark to prevent the creature from losing control.
Of course, once the Centipede’s strength climbed to a certain level, Qin Xuan would release it.
The Rank of a rare Gu cannot exceed its master, or there’s a risk of rebellion.
Qin Xuan certainly wouldn't let this creature's strength easily surpass his own.
“Centipede eggs?”
Listening to Qin Xuan’s continuous mumbling, Han Ye thought for a moment and then looked at the Heavenly Poison Centipede.
“That’s right, this is a female Gu, but I don’t know if this female Gu has laid eggs yet.”
Han Ye wasn't confident about this.
After all, this kind of poisonous Gu is different from ordinary Centipedes.
The Heavenly Poison Centipede only lays two eggs each time, one male and one female.
After they are laid, once these two eggs hatch, they will fight each other, and the loser will be eaten.
If only this Heavenly Poison Centipede was about to lay eggs.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan eagerly turned his gaze back to the Centipede in front of him and immediately began searching.
“On the abdomen over there, that’s where the Heavenly Poison Centipede’s egg sac is located.”
The Heavenly Poison Centipede is different from ordinary centipedes; it places its laid eggs into an egg sac on one side of its body.
After some searching, Qin Xuan finally found the egg sac.
“Haha, Heaven truly helps me! This Heavenly Poison Centipede has actually laid eggs, and it looks like these two eggs are about to hatch!”
“Quickly put the eggs into the insect cage.”
Han Ye urged.
Qin Xuan immediately took out the jade insect cage he had obtained from Ma Elder and carefully placed the eggs inside.
“The eggs and Gu gathered by this Ma Elder are quite a few, but none are as precious as these Heavenly Poison Centipede eggs.”
Qin Xuan said, quite pleased with himself.
“Go, leave immediately!”
Han Ye urged Qin Xuan.
“We’ve stayed here too long; we can’t wait any longer.”
Although there were no patrols near this Heavenly Poison Centipede, that didn’t mean the people from Thousand Dharma Hall wouldn’t come.
Normally, they would also come to check on the Heavenly Poison Centipede from time to time.
Even though the Heavenly Poison Centipede’s strength was very powerful, that didn’t mean they would abandon it.
Qin Xuan naturally understood this principle.
Since he had succeeded, he should know when to quit.
Hastily leaving the Heavenly Poison Centipede, Qin Xuan glanced at the full moon high in the sky and secretly slipped into the dark corners around him, preparing to leave.
Just then, a sound of footsteps came from the side.
Oh no!
Qin Xuan was startled and quickly hid himself in the darkness.
This was really troublesome; he had encountered so many people.
So many people coming here could only be from Thousand Dharma Hall.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan immediately frowned, becoming a bit anxious.
If these people suddenly came and discovered that the Heavenly Poison Centipede hadn’t woken up, they would definitely alert the vicinity, and then it would be troublesome.
If people from the other Four Great Sects pressed in, even if the Grand Elder wanted to cover for him, it would be impossible.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan couldn't help but feel a bit regretful.
He had delayed for too long.
“Don’t worry too much. You’re currently wearing the face of a Thousand Dharma Hall Elder. As long as the Thousand Dharma Hall Elder doesn't appear this year, you don’t need to worry about anything. Keeping them under control is no problem.”
Han Ye comforted Qin Xuan. Qin Xuan was a bit helpless and was about to say something when suddenly a whispering sound came from the side.
Qin Xuan quickly used his Eye Technique to secretly look over.
At this moment, three or four figures were hiding to the side, clearly trying to avoid the Heavenly Poison Centipede.
“Strange, why is this Centipede lying down? When I came an hour ago, this Centipede was still acting arrogant. Now it saves us trouble.”
“Heh, that’s for the best. We can sneak past without worry. Before, I was worried this Centipede would ruin our plans and how we would get past, but who knew it would fall asleep first.”
These few people whispered, while Qin Xuan, hiding in an even darker spot, looked bewildered.
Using his Eye Technique, he clearly saw the clothes these people were wearing.
“They’re not from Thousand Dharma Hall; they’re from Ling Shou Sect. This is interesting. But why would these Ling Shou Sect people be here? Are they also after this Heavenly Poison Centipede?”
Qin Xuan was puzzled, then shook his head, dismissing this thought.
“No, listening to their words, they should be going to do something else, but they have to pass through here and are afraid this Centipede will cause trouble.”
As he pondered this, Qin Xuan became even more curious.
What exactly did these people want to do that required such secretive actions?
“Fourth Brother, are you sure that thing isn’t in the cave now? That’s a Rank Six Spirit Beast. One wrong move, and all of us brothers will die there.”
“Big Brother, don’t worry. I’ve been squatting there for more than half a year. That thing usually doesn’t come out of the cave at all. Only on the night of the full moon does it crawl out of the cave to absorb the essence of moonlight. This is a good Opportunity for us brothers to act.”
“Before, I was afraid that the other Elders and Disciples of the Sect would discover me, so I kept a low profile. These past two days, it just so happens that several other major Sects are coming here to participate in the selection, which is a once-in-a-lifetime Opportunity.”
“While the Sect’s attention is focused on the selection, let’s four brothers quickly get that thing.”
Although their voices were very low, Qin Xuan’s keen senses allowed him to easily hear the content of their discussion.
“It seems these few people want to take this Opportunity to go out and seek some Opportunity.”
Qin Xuan completely relaxed.
As long as they weren’t coming for the Heavenly Poison Centipede, he wouldn’t be exposed.
Once he left this place, no matter how big a commotion occurred, it would have nothing to do with him.
Soon, these few figures secretly slipped away.
Qin Xuan emerged from his hiding place, preparing to return to the room assigned to him, but suddenly he stopped, frowned slightly, and a glint flashed in his eyes.
“I wonder what they are looking for? And from their appearance, this group is going secretly, not daring to let the Sect know.”
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan’s heart stirred.
He really wanted to know where this group was going and what they were looking for.
“An Opportunity, perhaps an Opportunity that will greatly help in improving cultivation.”
The moment this thought emerged in Qin Xuan’s mind, he immediately couldn't resist.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Xuan tried to calm himself down.
“Think carefully, should I try it?”
Qin Xuan pondered, and after a while, a light flashed in his eyes.
“It would be too regrettable to let this Opportunity pass. I must follow them and see what it is.”
Thinking this, Qin Xuan immediately secretly followed them.
The strength of these four people was not too weak, and being Disciples of the Ling Shou Sect, they were very familiar with the Sect's guard posts, knowing where the loopholes were, and thus used these loopholes to slip out.
With them leading the way, Qin Xuan naturally followed them out of the Ling Shou Sect into the mountains outside with great ease.
As soon as they left the Sect, the four no longer concealed their figures and immediately rushed into the mountains.
“So anxious? It seems the Opportunity in these mountains is quite significant!”
Qin Xuan pondered, but he wasn't so brazen; instead, he hid in the shadows and secretly followed.
These four people deliberately chose conspicuous places to move through along the way.
Qin Xuan was a bit puzzled. He stopped and observed from the shadows.
“It’s a bit too fake; this doesn’t look like they’re searching for an Opportunity.”
Qin Xuan paused for a while.
Sure enough, not long after, the four flew back from ahead, and only after confirming no one was following did they completely relax.
“Good, no one is following us. Let’s go, we must get that thing before the moon sets!”
