Chapter 403 Subduing the Black Jade Spirit Insect

"As far as I know, the strongest prodigy of the Luo clan is Luo Tianhua, who was acquainted with your master, Venerable Xuanlong."

He possessed a water-attribute celestial spiritual root and broke through to the Nascent Soul stage at the age of eighty-seven, ultimately reaching the peak of the late-stage Deity Transformation realm.

When Luo Tianhua was mentioned, Luo Lingshuang's eyes revealed admiration.

An 87-year-old Nascent Soul cultivator—it has to be admitted, he's truly amazing.

"Shuang'er, did Ancestor Tianhua condense a Great Dao Golden Core?" Zhang Xuanchen asked Luo Lingshuang with a smile.

Without hesitation, Luo Lingshuang replied, "No."

It is a first-grade golden elixir.

Zhang Xuanchen nodded: "But what you have condensed is the Golden Core of the Great Dao."

In this respect, he has already surpassed the ancestors of Tianhua.

Once there's a breakthrough, there will be a second and a third.

Moreover, you also have the help of your husband's special physique, so it's not impossible for you to break through to the Nascent Soul stage before the age of sixty.

Isn't that right?

As he spoke, he pulled Luo Lingshuang into his arms and said with a wicked smile:

"At that time, with you, a Nascent Soul True Monarch, protecting me, I can simply lie down in the courtyard."

Taking care of the kids, cooking, being a good wife and mother—isn't that wonderful?

Zhang Xuanchen's words successfully ignited Luo Lingshuang's competitive spirit.

Yes.

I am not incapable of breaking the records set by our ancestors.

If they can truly break through to the Nascent Soul stage before the beast tide, it will definitely allow the Zhang family to weather the storm.

"Don't worry, Brother Chen, I will try my best."

"Haha, that's right, I'm just waiting to lie down and relax."

Seeing this, the Great Sage couldn't help but say, "Hey, hey, hey."

That's about enough.

"I'm still here, we're always clinging to each other, aren't you ashamed?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen turned to look at the Great Sage and asked, "What?"

Envious?

Look at my brain! I should have brought a few female monkeys from Flower Fruit Mountain.

I'm so sorry, I'll be more careful next time.

Looking at Zhang Xuanchen's smug expression.

The Great Sage rolled his eyes.

They weren't going to bother with them.

He turned and ran towards the black jade mine.

"According to my inherited memories, this black jade spirit insect is extremely rare."

You two can continue being all lovey-dovey here.

I won't keep you company.

Seeing this, Zhang Xuanchen did not hesitate.

Their gaze fell upon the black jade vein nestled in the mountains and forests.

He released Luo Lingshuang, took her hand, and said:

"Let's go and see what's going on with this black jade spirit insect."

"Um."

When Zhang Xuanchen and Luo Lingshuang arrived at the Moyu mine.

Then, the Great Sage was seen carrying a dark green spirit insect about one meter long in his hand.

Its body size was noticeably larger than the other black jade spirit insects and black jade beetles.

The insect's body is as thick as a coiled dragon, and its surface is as translucent as black jade.

The color is deep, and dark purple spiritual patterns appear between the joints.

The light shimmered and flowed.

Its head has the outline of a dragon, and its mouth is extremely sharp. From a distance, it looks like a piece of jade.

Its compound eyes transformed into a pair of deep green vertical pupils, captivating the soul.

Its six limbs are as thick and powerful as black jade pillars, and its overall appearance is like a lurking jade dragon.

It is quite intimidating.

The remaining black jade beetles and black jade spirit insects were all immobilized by the overwhelming demonic aura emanating from the Great Sage.

However, this leader of the second-tier peak black jade spirit insects could still move its six limbs.

That's truly incredible.

"As expected of the Black Jade Spirit Insect, which ranks twenty-first on the list of rare insects, it's absolutely awesome."

Zhang Xuanchen looked at the black jade spirit insect leader in the Great Sage's hand and exclaimed with delight.

The spirit insects he had seen before were extremely ferocious.

But this black jade spirit insect is different.

It's as exquisite as a work of art.

As for those black jade beetles that did not mutate, their appearance was somewhat inferior.

But it's much better than the spirit insects you encounter outside.

Within acceptable limits.

Hearing Zhang Xuanchen's words, the Great Sage curled his lips and said, "This spirit insect does look quite good."

However, even the strongest of these is only at the peak of the second tier, and the black jade beads they produce are top-grade second tier beads.

The rank is a bit too low.

I doubt it will be of much use to me.

for you."

The Great Sage immediately lost interest and threw the struggling leader of the black jade spirit insects in his hand to Zhang Xuanchen.

He then stretched and lay down on the ground.

I fell asleep instantly.

However, the demonic aura emanating from him did not dissipate.

Zhang Xuanchen reached out and took the leader of the black jade spirit insects. With a thought, the Dragon Abyss Sword was instantly drawn.

The sword tip pointed directly at the head of the Black Jade Spirit Insect leader, and he said coldly:

"Peak second-tier cultivation, and also possesses fourth-tier demon clan bloodline."

"They can definitely understand human speech."

"You don't seem like you'd die so soon after transforming into a black jade spirit insect, do you?"

"I'm giving you two choices: either submit willingly, or I force you to submit."

If you choose one, just nod.

If you choose option two, nod twice.

"Now, please make your choice."

The moment the words left his mouth, the leader of the Jade Insects' vertical pupils jolted violently.

His shock was palpable.

Listen to whether you're speaking human language.

Is there no law left?

Are there any laws?

So, I guess I have no choice but to submit today?

"What? You disagree?"

Seeing that the black jade spirit insect was hesitant to make a choice.

The Dragon Abyss Sword drew even closer.

At this moment, the tip of the sword was only 0.01 centimeters away from the head of the Black Jade Spirit Insect leader.

It simply cannot nod.

I could only shrank my neck slightly.

It emitted a chirping sound.

His vertical pupils revealed a pleading look.

It has just completed its bloodline transformation and hasn't had a chance to experience it yet; it absolutely cannot die now.

"Good, you know what's good for you."

If you choose option two, you'll suffer a lot.

As he spoke, Zhang Xuanchen let out a wicked laugh, which startled the leader of the Ink Jade Spirit Insects.

He shrank back again, a wave of fear washing over him.

"Now that we have made our choice, let's sign the master-servant contract."

Relax your mind.

Do not resist.

As he spoke, Zhang Xuanchen forced out a drop of blood.

It merges into the head of the spirit insect leader.

He formed a hand seal, and a magic circle appeared beneath his feet.

He did not choose to sign the life contract. Although the black jade spirit insect had good potential, it was far inferior to that fire dragon.

If one were to sign a life-bound contract with it, thus preventing them from signing a contract with the fire dragon in the future, that would be a huge loss.

Fire dragon, oh fire dragon, you must hatch! I have the highest hopes for you.

Whether you can become a dragon knight depends on you.

The moment the contract was successfully signed, Zhang Xuanchen heard the voice of the black jade spirit insect:

"Master... please don't... kill me!"

Its voice was still a bit immature, sounding like the voice of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy.

There was also some stuttering, clearly indicating that he was not yet proficient.

While speaking, he shrunk his body to the size of a palm.

It lay quietly on Zhang Xuanchen's palm, its head tucked in and motionless.

Zhang Xuanchen stretched out his left hand, stroked its smooth back, and smiled:

"Don't be afraid, do I look like a bad guy?"

Now that you have acknowledged me as your master, I will give you a name.

Your name will be Zhang Xuanmo, and from now on I'll call you Xiaomo.

"You can call me Boss."

"Okay, boss." Xiao Mo nodded frantically.

Zhang Xuanchen's face darkened, and he corrected, "It's not 'boss,' it's 'boss.'"
