Locust

Chapter 62 Qingshen Baoding (Third update! Please make a decision!)
"Blue God Treasure Cauldron!"

Cao Cuo saw the inscription of "Qingshen" two sons engraved on the wall of the tripod, the aura of the whole tripod was exactly the same as the one passed down from the 【Dormant Technique】, and it was also a legacy of the Gu Immortal Sect.

The tripod is more than nine feet high, with four legs and two ears, deep blue with red, exquisitely carved, densely covered with runes, and red air flowing between the wood...

"I can't see the grade yet, this tripod is at least a top-notch magic weapon."

Cao Cuo touched the tripod wall, was shocked by the precious light above, and his palms were a little numb.

He seems to have forgotten that the owner of Baoding is still nesting in the tripod.

Nine members of Shijiao stepped forward to salute one after another, and said in shame:

"Master, we are incompetent, but we can't do anything to Hao Jiantong who is hiding in the cauldron."

"It's okay."

Cao Cuo waved his hand and said: "You don't have to belittle yourself, you have performed very well tonight, this treasure tripod is not something you can handle with your current strength..."

"Fellow?"

Hao Jiantong also sensed the person coming, and said anxiously:

"Fellow Taoist, we have no grievances or enmities, why don't you let me go back, I promise to keep my mouth shut about today's affairs, and I will give you a big gift..."

Cao Cuo smiled and said, "No grievances or enmities? How about the blood debt of more than [-] people killed and injured by my Stone Sect?"

"Friend Daoist, this is a misunderstanding..."

Hao Jiantong said anxiously: "It has nothing to do with me at this time. Hao is just a peripheral staff of the illusion building. He is responsible for reporting some news on weekdays. On that day, the illusion building ordered to thoroughly investigate whether there is any abnormality in the circulation of jade essence in the quarry. Only then did I track down the Stone Cult stronghold, I just obeyed orders..."

Cao Cuo was noncommittal after listening, and said softly:

"The great gift you mentioned, is there anything comparable to this Qingshen Baoding?"

Hao Jiantong hurriedly said: "Fellow Daoist, you are also a monk, so you should know the preciousness of the inheritance. I have two inheritances here: [Birth Transformation Technique] and [Original Gu]. The inheritance is priceless, I will pass it on to you, and you let me go, how about it?"

"Oh, no..."

Cao Cuo smiled and said, "Baoding, inheritance, I want them all..."

Hao Jiantong was anxious: "Fellow Daoist, don't you feel that you are too greedy?"

"So what about greed? This treasure tripod and the inheritance of the Gu Immortal Sect are destined for me, I want them all, who dares to object?"

"Well, you junior, your breath is only in the late stage of Qi training, and you dare to be so greedy and play on me."

Hao Jiantong had already heard that at this time, the other party didn't let him off at all, and simply cursed:

"At such a young age, I don't know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth. With this treasured tripod, I forgive you. If I don't go back to the shrine building tomorrow, there must be monks who will come here to search and rescue me. Hao can afford it... ..."

The nine members of the Shijiao watched on jokingly, their leader was undoubtedly a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but this Master Hao actually mistook him for a junior, he simply didn't know what to do...

Cao Cuo raised a ball of red flames and threw them directly on the tripod, and the raging fire enveloped the tripod.

"Then I'll give it a try, see if I can break open this Qingshen Zunbao Ding."

……

After half an hour, Cao Cuo was a little embarrassed, Honglian Yehuo couldn't do anything about this tripod.

Baoding was safe and sound, and Hao Jiantong only consumed half of his mana.

"Junior, give up, you can't do anything to me, I'm not afraid to tell you, I carry no less than a hundred elixir to replenish vitality..."

What a treasure, I didn't expect that my red lotus karmic fire would not be able to burn through and could not be consumed any longer.

"Hehe, if you can hold on for another half an hour, so what if I let you go."

Hao Jiantong said pleasantly: "You said this, don't go back on your word."

Cao Cuo's foundation-building breath erupted, and the red lotus industry fire doubled...

Hao Jiantong's tongue was a little dry. He seemed to have offended a foundation-building cultivator, so he couldn't help saying:

"You are... Foundation Establishment Realm, Senior?"

"Senior, I was wrong, please forgive me!"

The mana was consumed rapidly, Hao Jiantong couldn't take it anymore, he crazily chewed the elixir and swallowed it to replenish his mana.

"Hiss... Pain... Pain... Kill me too!"

But the ten green locusts in his stomach made trouble at the same time, almost killing him...

Outside the tripod, the red lotus industry is raging.

Inside the belly, the green locust was hungry.

After half an injection of incense...

"Woooooo... Senior, senior, voted, Hao surrendered, really surrendered..."

Hao Jiantong wept bitterly, lifted the Qingshen cauldron by himself, climbed out, and kowtowed like garlic...

The half-injection incense in the tripod is really the longest half-injection incense in his life, life, no, like, death!
The opponent's Gu worm could kill him long ago, and if he didn't do it, it meant that it would be useful to keep him, and he would not kill him for the time being.

Those who know current affairs are heroes, so they can only vote.

Cao mistakenly withdrew the red lotus karma fire, and calmed down the green locust gu in the opponent's stomach...

Hao Jiantong was a little bit upset, he stood up, cupped his hands and respectfully said:
"Thank you senior!"

This guy, his appearance is really good, he has regained his image of a middle-aged handsome guy, and he can't tell that he is the one who kowtowed and begged for mercy just now...

"This tripod is destined for me."

In front of the other party, Cao Cuo stretched out his hand and pressed on the Baoding, forcibly erasing the mana brand in the Baoding and stamping his own mark.

Hao Jiantong snorted, and didn't dare to resist at all. He watched the treasure being taken away with blood dripping from his heart and tears in his eyes.

The Qingshen Dingbao shrunk down to the size of a palm and flew into the hands of the new owner. It is estimated that after a month or two of sacrificial training, the breath of the old owner can be completely wiped out, like a finger.

Cao Cuo was in a good mood, looked at the "treasure presenter" and asked: "Hao Jiantong, you killed more than [-] Stone Sect disciples, and you deserved death. Now you are spared, do you know why?"

Hao Jiantong is not a fool either, guessing:
"Hao is just a small character who transmits information, and someone else actually did it. If the senior can forgive me today, it must be because he wants to find the right owner?"

"You are not stupid. This matter is caused by you. I want to settle accounts with them, and I need your help."

"Senior... Hao is just a peripheral member of the illusion building, so I'm afraid he can't help you..." Hao Jiantong hesitated.

I don't know how to live or die, and I still dare to play tricks at this time.

Cao Cuo's tone was kind:

"So you're useless to me?

it hurts!

The green locust gu in his stomach showed murderous intent, Hao Jiantong sweated profusely, and said seriously:
"Since Hao has surrendered to the senior, he should do his best to contribute to the Shijiao."

No matter how cunning he is, he will not shed tears when he sees the coffin...

……

After a note of incense.

Hao Jiantong formally joined the Stone Sect, became a disciple of the Stone Sect, and was baptized. He was planted with a green locust Gu to replace the original natal Gu. It didn't damage the foundation.

Back at the banquet in Linjiang Bieyuan, Cao Cuo took another jar of yellow bud rice wine, which should be a celebration for everyone.

Hao Jiantong drank this fine wine again, he drank it in his mouth, not sure what it tasted like.

……

Three days later.

In Linjiang Bieyuan, the newly opened cave in Houshan, Cao Cuo summoned Hao Jiantong alone.

The Dongfu occupies a large area, excavated in the rocky mountain, with a length and width of ten feet each, and a height of more than three feet.

Playing with the Qingshen Baoding tripod in his hand, the world's treasures and virtuous people live there. Cao is full of martial virtues, and he is the "virtuous person" in Hao Jiantong's eyes, offering treasures "sincerely".

There is a [Transformation Technique] inheritance engraved in the tripod. This technique is a secret technique of refining Gu. Transformation means growth. The development and growth of the worms allow the Gu worms to communicate with their masters, and even reach a magical state where humans and Gu become one.

This technique makes up for the lack of the method of controlling Gu in the incomplete [natal Gu] in a disguised form, and replaces the "control" of natal Gu with the "combination" of the transformation technique.

Perhaps natal Gu, stinging technique, and transformation technique, these three inherited secret techniques of Gu Immortal Sect, all have functions similar to those of the same origin.

Cao Cuo thought for a moment and said to himself:

"If the three Gu Immortal sect secret techniques can be combined into one, the power should be even greater..."

……

"I've seen the sect master!"

Hao Jiantong entered the secret room and saluted respectfully. As soon as he received the message from the green locust Gu's consciousness, he immediately rushed here from Shiling City.

"Exemption."

Cao Cuo opened his star eyes. This person is too slippery. If he wants to really subdue him, he still needs some skills.

"Hao Jiantong, now you are also a disciple of the Stone Sect, as long as you act faithfully, I will not treat you badly."

"The subordinates understand, thank you, the leader."

Hao is respectful on the surface, but no one knows what he thinks in his heart.

"The situation of the illusion building, how is the inquiry?"

"Master Hui, the illusion building is too mysterious. I'm just a peripheral employee and I know very little about it."

"As much as you know, talk as much as you can." Cao Cuo motioned the other party to sit down.

"Yes."

Hao Jiantong sat down, pondered for a moment, and continued:
"The Illusion Building is a killer organization that has lasted for nearly a thousand years in Shoushan. The people in the building are proficient in illusion, and they never kill by any means.

There are rumors that people who just want Huanlou to be included in the killing list are already dead at that moment. "

"In the illusion building, it is divided into two parts: the outer door and the inner door."

"The outer sect of the illusion building is responsible for cultivating and training new disciples. After the outer sect disciples successfully build their foundation, they can be directly promoted to inner sect disciples."

"In the inner gate of the illusion building, there are four halls of wind, flowers, snow and moon. The hall of wind is responsible for delivering news; the hall of flowers is in charge of collecting financial resources; the hall of snow is in charge of assassination operations; the hall of moon is in charge of punishment in the building..."

"The identity of the owner of the illusion building is mysterious. The previous owner of the building has always been appointed directly before his death. The illusion skills of the previous owners are unfathomable. It is estimated that he is a real person in the alchemy state..."

"Oh, is the owner of the illusion building one of the three great alchemy masters in Shoushanfang City?" Cao Cuo interjected and asked.

Hao Jiantong responded honestly: "I can't be sure."

Cao Cuo was silent for a moment, and continued to ask: "How many foundation-building monks are there in the illusion building?"

"No less than a hundred people."

There are so many?Far beyond his imagination.

"How much do you know about Huanlou's control of the talisman market in Shoushan?"

Hao Jiantong thought for a while and replied:
"The first source of income for the illusion building is killing people, and the second source of income is talismans."

"In Shoushanfang City, Huatang is responsible for the raw materials, manufacturing and sales of talismans..."

"Outside Shoushanfang City, there are also three large-scale source stone mines, which are controlled by Huatang and are their most important source of jade."

Cao Cuo asked after hearing the words: "Introduce the specific situation of these three mines."

Hao Jiantong's heart shuddered, as if he had sensed something.

"Master, these three mines are: Qingchi Mountain, Black Wind Valley, and Xiong'er Mountain, and each has a disciple from the inner sect of the illusion building to preside over the overall situation..."

Cao Cuo carefully inquired about the details, and already had a plan in mind...

"I have always been rewarded for my achievements and punished for my mistakes."

He is very satisfied with Hao Jiantong's performance today.

"The information you provided to Huanlou caused the Stone Sect to suffer a catastrophe. I took your treasure tripod and the inheritance of the transformation technique as punishment."

"Today, you have contributed to providing information about the illusion building, and you are quite capable in doing things. I will also give you two gifts."

Cao threw two things by mistake and fell into the opponent's hands.

"This is?"

Seeing the two pale yellow eggs on his hands, Hao Jiantong felt a sense of familiarity.
