Family Cultivation: Randomly refreshes information about a cultivation opportunity.

Chapter 404 Jadeification Domain

"Yes, boss!" Xiao Mo nodded again in reply.

Zhang Xuanchen was finally satisfied.

Place the small ink stick on the ground.

He asked, "Little Mo, you have mutated into the Black Jade Spirit Insect. What innate abilities have you awakened?"

Also, the innate skills of those Jade Beetles that have not yet mutated into Jade Spirit Insects.

Is there a chance they could mutate?

Once it landed on the ground, Xiao Mo restored its body to a size of one meter in diameter.

"Boss, before the mutation, I only had the Black Jade True Body as my innate skill."

Once activated, one's own defense will be greatly enhanced.

After the mutation, the Jade Transformation Realm was awakened.

After casting, it can spread out a dark area, within which vegetation, soil, and rocks will turn into jade and harden.

The cultivator's physical body and spiritual power will also be suppressed, resulting in slowed movements and stagnant spiritual power.

With my current strength, a cultivator below the Foundation Establishment stage could be completely petrified in less than a breath.

"Oh~ Not bad, continue." Zhang Xuanchen's voice trailed off, his eyes filled with surprise.

This jade-transformation technique is truly divine.

With Xiao Mo around, we won't have to be afraid even if we encounter swarms of ant-like monsters in the future.

It's unclear whether only Xiao Mo has comprehended this jade transformation realm, or whether the other ten jade spirit insects have also comprehended it.

If one has gained insight, one can form a contract with the Xuanlong.

This will definitely be a major boost in the future.

Seeing that Zhang Xuanchen was satisfied, Xiao Mo felt a sense of pride.

He raised his head slightly.

He continued, "Boss, those ten black jade spirit insects are my personal guards."

Their cultivation levels have all reached the second tier.

As for the other black jade beetles, they can mutate.

If one beetle in a group of black jade beetles mutates, the rest of the black jade beetles will be affected.

However, the mutation time cannot be guaranteed.

Of course, after the mutation, our descendants will also be Black Jade Spirit Insects.

However, if no one mutates, they will never become a Black Jade Spirit Insect in this lifetime.

Hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen was extremely surprised.

This black jade spirit insect is truly a peculiar creature.

He asked again, "So how did you mutate?"

But what rare and precious materials are needed?

Xiao Mo replied without hesitation:

"Yes, boss, the Jade Beetle needs to devour Jade Essence to mutate into the Jade Spirit Beetle."

Black jade essence is extremely rare, and it can only be formed deep within black jade veins.

It's hard to come by.

I led my men from the Qingming Mountains to this place and found six black jade veins.

Of my tens of thousands of subjects, only these five hundred or so remain.

Just when I was about to give up, this black jade vein gave me a pleasant surprise.

There is black jade essence present.

Although not much, it's enough for me and my ten bodyguards to undergo mutation.

Although Xiao Mo's words were brief, Zhang Xuanchen had already imagined how much suffering Xiao Mo had endured along the way.

No wonder, even though the five hundred-plus black jade beetles were suppressed by the Great Sage's overwhelming demonic aura, there was still no fear in their eyes.

Instead, he glared at them with a fierce look in his eyes.

It turns out he was a survivor who had endured countless killings.

When Zhang Xuanchen turned his gaze to his more than 500 subordinates, Xiao Mo immediately stood in front of them and pleaded, "Boss."

Please don't kill them, I promise you.

They will definitely obey your commands from now on.

You can make them go east, but never west.

Let them bite the dog, but never chase the chickens.

Seeing Xiao Mo so nervous, Zhang Xuanchen chuckled:

"I didn't realize you were so loyal."

"You begged for mercy so quickly just now; I thought you were a spineless coward who clung to life."

Hearing this, Xiao Mo sighed: "Boss, if I were afraid of death, I would never have led my men to wander around the Qingming Mountains."

We spent a full sixty years searching for the essence of black jade.

Then another forty years were spent on mutation.

It has gone through countless hardships.

That's how the mutation was successfully completed.

I haven't led them to mutate yet; I can't die.

Zhang Xuanchen nodded.

After a century of effort, who would be willing to accept that it will all be just a flash in the pan?

"You're very good."

Don't worry, I have no intention of taking action against them.

After all, I still need you guys to mine for me.

"This black jade vein, and the second-grade low-level white crystal vein not far away, are yours to mine."

Eat as much mineral as you want.

After eating their fill, they got to work mining.

When the time comes, you will need to hand over the black jade beads that have condensed on your backs to me.

Don't worry, I won't take your money for nothing.

In addition to ores, I will also give you some spiritual herbs as compensation.

We will not treat you unfairly.

"Also, since you and your ten personal guards have successfully mutated."

Then hurry up and have as many offspring as possible.

I have a great use for those black jade beads.

There's plenty of ore.

Since Zhang Xuanchen dared to say such a thing, he must have something to rely on.

After the destruction of the Azure Sea Immortal Sect.

The Zhang family acquired another thirty-six mineral veins.

One of them is a low-grade third-tier item.

The seven seats of the second tier.

The remaining eighteen will be at the first stage.

There's absolutely no need to worry about the mineral vein.

Not to mention the more than five hundred black jade spirit insects.

Even if it's five thousand, or fifty thousand, Zhang Xuanchen can afford to support them.

"Thank you, Boss!"

Xiao Mo will definitely not let you down!

"Okay, I'll leave this to you. Keep your men in line and make sure they understand who's in charge," Zhang Xuanchen instructed.

"Yes, sir!" Xiao Mo replied, then chirped a few times at the guards and the black jade beetle lying on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xuanchen had the Great Sage withdraw his oppressive aura.

They walked towards the small courtyard in the center of the Ring of All Souls.

As they walked, he described to Luo Lingshuang what Xiao Mo had said.

"Black jade mines are already rare," Luo Lingshuang said after thinking for a moment. "The third-tier mid-grade heaven and earth spiritual material, Black Jade Essence, that is condensed in the Black Jade Mine is even rarer."

Generally speaking, even dozens of black jade veins will not contain black jade essence.

This is also one of the reasons why the Black Jade Spirit Insect has almost disappeared.

With this group of black jade spirit insects, the Zhang family will never lack resources in the future.

However, caution is still needed while we are still developing.

If those with ulterior motives were to learn of the Zhang family's possession of the Black Jade Spirit Insect, it could bring undeserved disaster upon them.

Upon hearing Luo Lingshuang's words...

Zhang Xuanchen agreed wholeheartedly, "Don't worry, Shuang'er, I know what to do."

At that time, simply tell your clansmen that the Black Jade Bead is a spiritual object of heaven and earth that can enhance cultivation.

Given the rarity of the black jade spirit insect, who would think of the black jade bead?

If all else fails, you can polish the black jade bead into a square or something.

Absolutely foolproof.

Zhang Xuanchen had an extremely good understanding of his clansmen.

He was certain that 90% of his clansmen didn't even know what the Black Jade Spirit Insect was.

The remaining 10% are only vague impressions.

After all, asking them to read more books, especially ancient and modern classics, is practically the same as taking their lives.

The only option was to bring books containing lists of strange insects into schools.

He couldn't change much about the older generation.

But the younger generation must be proficient in both academics and martial arts.

Otherwise, he would only be labeled a reckless brute.

"Mysterious Mirror, how is the outside world?"

Zhang Xuanchen looked at the Xuanjing floating in the air and asked.

The outside world cannot be seen from inside the ring.

Even Xiaolian is not an option.

Only the Mystic Mirror can do that.
