Fortune Teller

In the gray-white plain.

Gu Xiuyun followed the crowd and walked forward leisurely. His thoughts always filled a ten-mile radius to prevent attacks by demonic insects.

The Soul-Eating Grass only occupies ten feet of the surface, and further down, it is still the territory of the demonic insects.

Although those demonic insects have flesh and blood, they are not threatened by the soul-devouring grass. Some young demonic insects even use the soul-devouring grass as food.

In Gu Xiuyun's perception, there were many young demonic insects hiding in the gray-white plain. Some crawled out of the ground and gnawed on dead branches, while some were still sleeping in the rock crevices.

Whenever he found a demonic insect crawling to the surface, he would activate the Heavenly Star Domain to kill it.

These young demonic insects are not a big threat, but they can make piercing screams and call to the demonic insect swarm. At that time, it will be a big trouble to not only face the demonic insect siege but also avoid the soul-devouring grass.

Gu Xiuyun naturally didn't want any accidents to happen. He just wanted to complete the task smoothly and then return to Ruoshui City to practice and wait for the arrival of his disciple Dabie.

The Weak Water Sect will hold a disciple competition every ten years. At that time, the sect will give a few drops of Weak Water as a reward to the winner.

This is also the only opportunity Gu Xiuyun knows to come into contact with weak water.

Of course, those weak waters have never fallen into the hands of the family lineage, because the top ten in the disciple competition are always from Changlitian.

There is a huge gap between the family lineage and Changli Tianguan. Even if they have the same cultivation level, one is Broken Tianguan and the other is Wuxia Tianguan. When they fight, they are 30% weaker.

Coupled with the differences in secret magic weapons and other differences, in the same realm, Chang Litian almost always has a guaranteed chance of winning.

But Gu Xiuyun didn't expect to win the top ten, as long as he touched the weak water, it was enough!

…

Poof!

A slight sound sounded in the distance, but no one noticed it. They thought it was a breeze blowing across the ground, causing the withered grass to sway.

Three miles away, a young demonic insect was lying next to the withered grass, lifeless. Then the ground cracked and the demonic insect's body sank into the rock crevice.

"Another baby demon insect has been eliminated."

A smile appeared on Gu Xiuyun's lips. After a moment, the smile on his face became even brighter because a fire pattern flower appeared ten miles away, and it happened to be on the route that everyone was walking.

At this moment, the team has collected nineteen fire pattern flowers. With the addition of this one, the mission can be completed.

…

Half a day later.

Taoist Jingfang led everyone out of the gray-white plain.

"Except for Junior Brother Jinghan, everyone else's tasks are almost done, right?" Taoist Jingfang asked.

"I'm missing two bodies of jade crystal insects."

"I still have five pieces of cold night gold missing."

"..."

Everyone spoke one after another, and there were still six people whose tasks had not yet been completed.

"Jade crystal insects are quite rare, but there are a lot of cold night gold. Let's dig a few more times on the way back, and that should be enough!"

Taoist Jingfang nodded slightly.

There was almost no danger during this trip to the Demonic Insect Cave. It went so smoothly that he didn't mind staying one more day.

"Speaking of Hanye Gold, I dug quite a lot during my last trip to the Demonic Insect Cave, but unfortunately they were all taken away by the sect disciples guarding the formation!" Taoist Jingchen said.

"The rules are like this, there's nothing we can do about it."

Taoist Jingfang shook his head and sighed.

According to the rules of the Weak Water Sect, all sect disciples who leave the Devil's Insect Cave must leave behind the collected crystal stones, elixirs and insect corpses. Of course, those extra harvests will also be converted into spiritual liquid pills as compensation.

Although the human family is dissatisfied with this rule, there is nothing they can do about it. After all, if the disciples of the sect are really allowed to take the insect corpses and crystal stones out, someone will definitely buy the insect corpses directly to use them for the mission.

Therefore, in the Demonic Insect Cave mission, almost all people go in together in a large group and communicate with each other, making it much more convenient to complete the mission.

One day later, everyone finally collected all the insect corpses and spiritual materials, and there were also many scattered crystal stones and spiritual jade.

And here, it is not far from the teleportation array palace.

"Go back to the sect!"

Taoist Jingfang waved his sleeves and smiled. After completing this task, he would be able to make enough contributions in exchange for Zihua Dan.

With the help of Zihua Dan and the previous preparations, even if he has not comprehended the second secret technique of Tao Yun, he still has a 70% chance of opening the Heaven Pass and stepping into the sixth level of Kai Mai. The status of Taoist Jingfang will be completely different.

Even a weak water sect would not dare to look down upon a strong person from the sixth level.

Moreover, the surge in cultivation will also increase Taoist Jingfang's lifespan by a hundred years. This is even more important for him who only has fifty years left in his lifespan.

Everyone else was also beaming with joy.

For those Second Heaven disciples, after completing the Demonic Insect Cave mission, they can practice peacefully within the sect, and at the same time, the mission rewards they receive can also be exchanged for contributions from the sect.

Contribution is very important to these low-level disciples because it can exchange lives.

A hundred points of contribution can delay the sect's mission for one year, and the income from the Demonic Insect Cave is enough for them to practice peacefully in the Weak Water Sect for more than ten years.

This is also a common practice among inner disciples.

After all, it is almost impossible to complete ten consecutive sect tasks every year.

Every sect task requires a lot of preparation in order to be more confident in completing it. If you try it rashly, you will almost certainly die.

Just like this trip to the Demonic Insect Cave, except for Gu Xiuyun, everyone else was very prepared. Healing elixirs and life-saving talismans were all ready before they dared to do the task.

Without these, as long as one is not careful and is surrounded by a swarm of insects, he will be dead.

…

Walking in the dark plain, everyone felt relaxed and talked a lot more.

Even Taoist Jing Shen, who was taciturn, started chatting, "Pindao is the best at driving insects. He has entered the Demonic Insect Cave a lot of times. Speaking of which, there are almost a dozen times, but it has never been so smooth."

"Fellow Taoist, have you been here so many times?" Taoist Jingde was a little surprised.

There are many secret realm ruins under the rule of the Weak Water Sect, and the Demonic Insect Cave is just a very inconspicuous place. For example, Taoist Jingde has only been here twice.

"Pindao is good at driving insects and is very effective in warning off sneak attacks by insect swarms, so my classmates often invite me to enter the Demonic Insect Cave to help them." Jingchen explained.

Gu Xiuyun nodded slightly.

Indeed, in this dark plain, even the scene a hundred feet away could not be seen clearly, so it was necessary to use the method of driving the insects to warn the surroundings.

If Gu Xiuyun hadn't taken action during this trip to the Demonic Insect Cave, and Taoist Jingshen hadn't helped, everyone would have encountered at least three medium-sized worm lairs. Coupled with the threat of the Spirit-Eating Grass, ten people in this team would have survived. That’s pretty good!

While walking, Gu Xiuyun suddenly frowned and looked towards the palace ahead.

In the darkness, the teleportation array palace exudes a faint white light, like a bright light, guiding the sect disciples in the direction back.

But at this moment, there were more than a dozen weak water sect disciples in the palace, and almost all of them were wearing water pattern robes.

"Chang Litian disciples, what are they doing here?"

Gu Xiuyun frowned, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
