​As they stepped out of the tribe's ancestral hall, Lie Qing, still stunned, spoke up, "Sister, these three tasks... The first one is easy enough. We can just use force to stop my three older brothers from fighting. The second one is also doable, as long as we get money from Mother. But the third one... I've heard that expanding the Sulfur Pool by half would require at least fifty thousand silver Insect Crystals. I'm afraid Mother doesn't have that much money."​Lie Xin smiled lightly. "I have a way. Fifth Brother, for now, you just need to wait. When the time comes, your sister will personally send you to the tribe leader's seat."​Lie Qing was deeply moved. "Sister! You're so good to me!" Since he could remember, Lie Xin had always been kind to him, saving the best food and toys for him. She never competed with anyone, and her only hobby was reading. Now, she was taking care of everything, making all the arrangements for him. How could he not be touched?​Lie Xin said calmly, "Remem

The Third Elder clicked his tongue, clearly skeptical. "But... this money can't possibly have appeared out of nowhere. It must have come from other tribes, right?""Borrowed money," the Fourth Elder added, "never feels as reliable. The Ancestor once said that borrowing money is a bad habit. It encourages extravagance. And if the debt can't be repaid, the tribe will lose its credibility. That's the most dangerous thing."Lie Xin sneered. "Then let me make it clear: I'll be personally responsible for the 100,000 silver insect crystals. Even if it can't be paid back, it's my responsibility alone, not the tribe's."The Third and Fourth Elders exchanged a glance, and after a moment, they nodded. "As long as Miss Lie Xin can bring the 100,000 silver insect crystals within two months, we'll follow your lead."Even at the peak of the Fire Ant Tribe's prosperity, their annual surplus was only around 10,000 silver insect crystals. 100,000 silver insect crystals—that was the equivalent of ten ye

The Blood Queen Bee had now reached the level of a third-transformation Gu. It was the perfect candidate for enhancement using the Holy Ant Cultivation Method.Over these days, Chu Xuan had his subordinates bring up numerous rare and precious natural resources, testing their medicinal properties one by one. Eventually, he selected a few materials and successfully evolved the bloodline of the Blood Queen Bee."What kind of ancient exotic insect is the Blood Queen Bee descended from?" he pondered. "It's unclear, but all signs point to some kind of bee. There aren't many bee species among the ancient exotic insects, only the Netherworld Bee and the Fiery Sun Bee Mother. Based on its traits, the Blood Queen Bee is more suited to follow the path of the Fiery Sun Bee Mother."Chu Xuan's expression was one of eager anticipation.One year later on Blue Star.The Blood Queen Bee emerged from its cocoon. Its size had not changed significantly, but the patterns on its body had shifted from blood

Mystic Azure Star, three years had swiftly passed.Meanwhile, Chu Xuan had spent an equivalent of thirty years in cultivation on Blue Star. With the aid of a massive amount of Ice Soul, he finally advanced to the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage.Now a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, he was also nearing the thirty-seventh level in physical cultivation.Chu Xuan reached out his hand, and a chillingly cold ice pillar burst from the ground. This was the Ice God Pillar spell he had mastered earlier. Now that he had reached the seventh layer of the Nascent Soul stage, the ice pillars he could summon were significantly larger and sturdier than before.With just one pillar, he could annihilate a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator."Explode!"Chu Xuan's tightly clenched fist suddenly opened, and the Ice God Pillar burst apart, transforming into hundreds of thousands of fist-sized ice shards, densely filling every inch of space."Condense!"With another fierce grasp, Chu Xuan's hand

He quickly stood up, giving a slight bow before turning to leave, his face always bearing a warm and amiable smile.As the saying goes, one does not strike a smiling face. Jin Dafu was a master at that.Once Jin Dafu had departed, Chu Xuan turned to Shang Xingchen. "What's your take on this?"Shang Xingchen replied calmly, "Seven parts are lies, three parts are truth. As for which is true and which is false, I can't tell yet."Chu Xuan nodded slightly.The sudden appearance of Jin Dafu's Golden Dragon Caravan on Mystic Azure Star raised suspicions. As a seasoned individual, it was only natural to speculate on the motives behind each of their movements.Before Chu Xuan could speak, Shang Xingchen added, "Rest assured, Sect Master. I will keep an eye on Jin Dafu."Chu Xuan nodded with satisfaction. "That's good. Let's go. It's time to meet that fellow daoist Zhong Hui."Moments later, the two arrived at a side hall and met Zhong Hui from the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect. His wounds had be
