Chapter 265: Chapter 263 The Most Important is the Atmospherel
Translator: 549690339
He arrived outside the last insect room.
There was a stench emanating from the room, and the little that reached Lu Xuan made him dizzy and somewhat uncomfortable.
Inside were two grotesque-looking insect beasts, their bodies pockmarked and oozing green pus. With each breath, they exhaled poisonous smoke. One glance was enough to identify them as incredibly toxic creatures.
As per Zhong Jing Shan’s instructions left on the talisman paper, Lu Xuan fetched several processed poisonous insects from his storage bag and threw them into the insect room.
Soon, information about the two highly toxic insect beasts flashed through his mind.
“[Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insect, fourth-grade demon insect, contains various types of highly poisonous toxins within its body. It likes to eat all kinds of poisonous fruits and insects. Its poison is extremely potent and can affect the skin, blood, and should be used by a Foundation Establishment Midterm to Late-term cultivator. Without caution, it may pose a fatal risk.]
[Mutual dislike, heavy gold demands offspring.]
Lu Xuan fell silent for a moment.
What did this message mean? Was he being hinted to assist in their reproduction process?
As a renowned Spirit Plant Master of the Sky Sword Sect, why would he help such grotesque creatures reproduce?
Of course, if the price was right, it wasn’t out of the question…
The pair of fourth-grade Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insects in the insect room were, according to Zhong Jing Shan’s instructions, currently in the reproductive stage.
Zhong Jing Shan had spent a lot of effort to obtain the larvae of the Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insect but had not been successful for a long time.
“They must have lost interest in each other due to spending too much time together,” thought Lu Xuan, remembering the hints from the information.
With that, all the rare and unusual insects in the insect room were revealed.
The fourth-grade Demon Blade Black Mantis, a born assassin, tirelessly spun silk every day. The highly irritable third-grade Condensing Jade Spiders — numerous and when gathered together, not weaker than a common third- grade Yin Fire Ant. The seven-star Liuli Bug that could defecate treasure-like Liuli Sand. And finally, the Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insect currently in the breeding stage.
Two fourth-grade, two third-grade, and one second-grade with a bonus of quantity, this gave Lu Xuan a better understanding of the strength of a Sect True Inheritance Disciple.
Just the rare insects left in the insect valley possessed an impressive force — let alone the ones they carried with them.
Many of them were still growing and would be able to easily handle an average Foundation Establishment Mid-term cultivator once fully matured.
Aside from the insects in the rooms, he didn’t have to spend much effort managing and nurturing the insects in the valley outside. All he had to do was to ensure that the basic order was maintained.
For the next one or two months, he spent most of his time in the insect valley, nurturing various unique insects.
In a dark environment so thick it seemed tangible.
Lu Xuan took out more than a dozen different insect beasts and tossed them into the insect room from various angles.
The dark air surged violently, and the soft sound of rupturing was loud in his ears — unusually smooth and continuous.
In the blink of an eye, a gigantic black mantis revealed itself out of the darkness, appearing before Lu Xuan.
The mantis raised its jet-black forelegs, that resembled those of a sawblade, its pitch-black compound eyes on its head occasionally glanced to one side.
At this moment, a thick, dreadfully green liquid clung onto the forelegs of the Demon Blade Black Mantis and wouldn’t come off no matter how much it shook. This made even the typically disinterested mantis show a hint of impatience in its eyes.
“Your performance this time was satisfactory; you manage to do fifteen consecutive slashes without missing a beat. The only pity is that, among the ten or so demon insects thrown in, I had hidden one particularly nauseating one.”
“After killing it, it spits out a thick green fluid that stays on the magic artifact and won’t come off for a long time.”
Lu Xuan looked at the Demon Blade Black Mantis wriggling its forelimbs, a corner of his mouth curving upward.
“This is just a little lesson for you to understand that fighting is not solely about relying on instinct; it involves many other factors you need to master.” He spoke earnestly to the Demon Blade Black Mantis.
Being a fourth-grade magical insect, it had high spiritual intelligence. The big, black mantis occasionally nodded its small head, indicating it understood.
What Lu Xuan had just done was all based on a mini-game he remembered from his previous life, specially arranged for the Demon Blade Black Mantis.
At first, he inserted merely two or three demon insects and threw them into the insect room, ordering the Demon Blade Black Mantis to slay the bugs before they hit the ground.
If it failed, the living bugs would be released from the room, and the dead ones would serve as food for the Demon Blade Black Mantis.
During this, he continuously increased the quantity, adjusted the force of his throw, and added angles of all sorts, all for the purpose of satisfying the inner bloodlust of the Demon Blade Black Mantis.
Today, he even introduced a new twist, especially getting in a purely revolting demonic insect to teach it a small lesson.
This little test noticeably increased the intimacy level the Demon Blade Black Mantis felt for him. It was no longer cold and aloof, as it had been at the start.
In the insect room of the Condensing Jade Spider, he had been observing for some time any signs that the White Jade Spiders exhibited before spinning webs: emotional state, physical symptoms, behavior patterns, etc. He was trying to determine the specific pattern of their web-spinning to ensure maximum productivity and to prevent easy conflicts.
However, he still had not made any significant discoveries.
In the room of the Yin Fire Ants…
Thousands upon thousands of Yin Fire Ants gathered to form a massive giant. Under Lu Xuan’s control, this giant continually changed its shape, fulfilling a small wish he’d had in his previous life.

Lu Xuan had grown accustomed to the presence of Liuli Sand and even felt a peculiar sense of accomplishment. Before entering the insect room each time, he always had a hint of anticipation.
As for that pair of Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insects, there had been no activity for a long time; they were still in a state of mutual disgust.
Apart from feeding and caring for these magical insects, Lu Xuan occasionally went back to his own mountain peak to cultivate spiritual plants and check on his small charge.
Although he had not been able to provide daily, meticulous cultivation for the spiritual plants on the mountain peak, the growth condition of every plant was excellent, which brought him a lot of relief.
One day, when cultivating an Enchanted Immortal Peach, he suddenly had an idea and collected almost half of the pink miasma underneath.
Back in the insect room, he fetched a white jade thin-necked bottle from his storage bag, pulled out the stopper, and poured into the room the pink miasma produced by the Enchanted Immortal Peach.
“The color scheme in this insect room is too monotonous and dreary, being in here for a long time isn’t very uplifting, let alone having that kind of thought.” “Today, I’ll create a romantic insect room for the two of you, ensuring that you become amorous and fight day and night.”
Lu Xuan chuckled, looking at the increasingly dense pink miasma in the insect room, feeling confident.
The miasma released during the growth of the Enchanted Immortal Peach can stimulate the inner desires of cultivators and demonic beasts. It is a natural, potent aphrodisiac. Maybe it would have a surprising effect on these two Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insects that were currently disinterested.
Sure enough, two days later when he returned to the insect room to care for this poisonous pair, he saw an embarrassing scene.
The two Heart-Eating Worms were tightly wrapped together, forming the character
Green venom spurted out from time to time, staining their counterparts here and there. Upon falling into the pink miasma, it caused a hissing sound.
“It seems that atmosphere is indeed what matters the most.”
Lu Xuan, watching with relish, commented.
