Chapter 121 Yin and Yang Insects
Looking at the four-star sunspots on the chessboard, Qin Shu fell into deep thought for a while.
"Ahem," Qin Shu coughed dryly, and with a wave of his sleeves, he brushed away all the densely packed aura chess pieces on the chessboard, "It's almost past noon. I think that's enough for today. Let's go prepare what we need to enter Mount Tai."
Wu Ying couldn't help but laugh, and she didn't refute. She smiled slightly and said, "Yes."
After Wu Ying left the courtyard, Qin Shu looked at the chessboard on the stone table and couldn't help scratching his head. In the past, he lost many supreme beings in backgammon. Has his chess skills deteriorated after endless years?
Today's Dai City was much livelier than usual after Qin Shu caused a big fuss. But fortunately, not many people could see Qin Shu's face clearly.
When Wu Ying and Qin Shu appeared at the joint, no one recognized them.
Without too much delay, Qin Shu took Wu Ying and went straight to the gate of Dai City. As the city closest to Mount Tai, the outside of Dai City was also very lively. Countless monks set up stalls with various items on them.
Wearing all kinds of weird things.
Wu Ying walked over curiously, and when she saw clearly what was on the stall, she immediately left with an ugly expression on her face, "How could you sell such a thing?"
There were white bugs of various sizes on the stall. The smallest ones were no more than the size of a finger, and the largest ones were longer than an arm. They were both dead and alive, and their color was uniformly milky white.
The live bugs seem to be sensing the breath of the living people around them, and are actually squirming around the stall.
As a girl, even though she was already a Nascent Soul and could kill countless bugs like this with one slap, Wu Ying still couldn't help but feel scared.
"This insect is a good thing." Qin Shu smiled when he saw Wu Ying standing behind him with a pale face.
"What good are bugs?" Wu Ying snorted, not daring to speak loudly for fear that the bugs would squirm towards her.
"Their blood can be used to refine weapons. It is an excellent tempering substance. It can only be found near Mount Tai in the world."
Xu heard Qin Shu's explanation, and a stall owner nearby interrupted with a smile: "This young master is obviously knowledgeable at first glance. The Yin and Yang insects produced in Daicheng can increase the success rate of weapon refining by more than 20%. How can this be done in the world?"
Isn’t it rare for domestic weapon refiners?”
"I don't care." Wu Ying muttered, even if this insect could turn her weapon into a magical weapon, she would not be willing to use such a disgusting thing to make a weapon.
The stall owner laughed and didn't answer. He just thought it was the rich lady from some family who came out to see the world. He has been here for so many years and there have been many female monks who said this. In the end, isn't it really delicious?
Qin Shu ignored Wu Ying and carefully looked at the large and small insects in the stall. He immediately shook his head, stood up and was about to leave. "Young master, didn't you take a fancy?" asked the stall owner.
"Too small." Qin Shu said.
There is no reason for people to leave empty-handed when they come to a business. The stall owner hurriedly said: "How big do you want, sir? I can accept customization here. Just tell me the size and I will have someone pick it up right away."
"At least one person is taller." What Qin Shu said made the stall owner stunned.
"Young master, you are joking. My ancestors have been doing this for generations, and I have never heard of a Yin-Yang insect as tall as a person."
"Just because you haven't heard of it, doesn't mean you don't have it!"
While he was talking, a large group of people once again poured out of the city gate, causing a great commotion, which excited the stall owners at the city gate.
"Master Insect is going to the Insect Land to divide areas again today?"
"That's great. I just don't have many Yin-Yang insects on hand."
“I really don’t know who the insect king is this year?”
"What's the point? They must be some of Master Insect's disciples. The Yin-Yang Insect that was nearly three feet in size dug up by the young disciple Lu Li some time ago is rare in the world."
"Yes, I heard that it was bought by a master of weapon refining for a lot of money."
"...
"So the young master has seen such a big yin-yang insect?" The stall owner glanced at the people at the city gate, "Then I can only bother you to dig it out so that I can open my eyes."
With that said, he started to pack things without waiting for Qin Shu's reply. He wanted to follow Master Chong quickly and looked forward to a good harvest today.
As for the person in front of him, the stall owner didn't take it seriously at all. A Yin-Yang insect as tall as a man, this is just nonsense!
Qin Shu didn't care about anything. He looked at the huge crowd heading towards Mount Tai and said with a smile: "Let's go and have a look too."
"Sir, do you want to use insects to refine weapons?"
"Giving gifts."
"I don't want it!" Wu Ying's conditioned reflex made Qin Shu helpless.
"I didn't tell you."
Wu Ying blushed, but she was even more curious in her heart, why would anyone want such a big insect? If it's for refining weapons, wouldn't a small insect do it? If it's not for refining weapons...can it be used for eating?
Wu Ying felt a chill in her heart.
…
The so-called insect land is probably the place where the Yin-Yang insects build their nests and gather. The Yin-Yang insects live deep underground and only come to the surface when they are in their nests. This is the opportunity for those who dig up the insects.
When Qin Shu and Wu Ying arrived, the insect land was already crowded with people. The old man, the so-called insect master, and several young people were walking around in the black insect land.
"There may be an insect nest here, but it's not big." Master Insect said slowly, making the person behind him ecstatic and offered some spiritual stones with both hands, "Thank you, Master, for your advice."
After Master Chong accepted the spirit stone, the man immediately waved, and some people soon came from the crowd and began to dig in the designated area.
After a while, those people burst into ecstasy: "It's done! It's done!"
I saw a few people dragging an oval piece of black soil half a person's height out of a large pit. This was the nest of Yin Yang insects.
Use some iron hammers to break open the clods of soil, and a nest of large and small Yin-Yang worms is revealed in front of everyone. The small ones are no more than the size of a thumb, and the big ones are as big as an arm. There are hundreds of Yin-Yang worms in such a nest.
"Ouch!" The crowd exclaimed. Although this insect nest is not big, it is more numerous. "Lao Lu has made a lot of money this time."
Someone in the crowd laughed and said that the Lao Lu he was talking about was the person who gave Master Chong the appraisal fee before. At this moment, Lao Lu was standing at the edge of the insect nest, laughing, with a proud face.
Master Chong's first attack today was a good start, which made the crowd move. Soon someone offered the appraisal fee to find Master Chong.
"Master Chong has some abilities." Wu Ying was also surprised. She had tried it quietly just now, but for some unknown reason, the monk's spiritual thoughts could not penetrate the black earth.
