Chapter 299: Chapter 292: Subduing the Exotic Insects of Heaven and Earth _1

“You agree, but will your parents and brother agree?”

Qin Niu was still somewhat worried.

Having one’s daughter become a concubine was not a particularly honorable matter.

Many families of the girl’s side would oppose it.

Unless they were poor and saw it as a way to make a sum of money and climb the social ladder by connecting with a wealthy family, they might agree to marry their daughter off as a concubine to someone else.

And most often, they were married off to old men.

Tang Caixian’s conditions were not bad, and Qin Niu’s current status and strength that was openly known were merely those of an ordinary Insect Master. Such individuals were a dime a dozen in Black Tiger City, far from being considered particularly outstanding.

“If they don’t agree, I will think of a way to convince them. In the end, I am the one who will be living the life, and as long as they see you will treat me well, they should agree,” she said, although she had no real confidence in her heart.

“Caixian, thank you. The only promise I can give you is that I will be true to you, supporting each other until old age.”

In matters of affection, Qin Niu was a novice.

He was very naive in all aspects.

But his heart was wholly sincere towards the two women.

And he was confident in providing them with a happy married life.

…

After returning home from Daoyuan Village, he began to read through the Insect Control scrolls and Insect Control Books he had gathered.

The Spider Technique Scrolls he had found on Zhu Zhu’s body and the Breeding Insects Secrets he had obtained from Elder Jiu Yin were his focus for study.

The Spider Technique Scroll was an ancient volume at first glance.

Its content was extremely profound.

It mentioned various methods of controlling, breeding, catching, creating, and exterminating spiders.

Later on, it even detailed the methods of cultivating demon spiders and the abilities of various demon spiders.

For instance, the Phantom Jumping Spider, killed by Qin Niu, could become a demon when cultivated to a later stage. Its invisibility power would be extremely formidable in the forest, far surpassing ordinary magical beasts and insect demons.

Moreover, the difficulty of a bug transforming into a demon was much greater than that of beasts or birds, and the Phantom Jumping Spider only needed to find a tree on the verge of gaining spiritual essence and drink its sap to greatly increase the success rate of becoming a demon.

After its transformation, it could even use that nearly enlightened tree as a den to form a strange symbiotic relationship.

This made Qin Niu think of the Ancient Banyan Tree.

That Ancient Banyan Tree was likely on the brink of becoming enlightened, or it already had.

Especially in the evening, when Qin Niu escaped from the maze of the Ancient Banyan Tree, it actually opened up a path for him, indicating it had already acquired a certain level of sentience.

This was also why Qin Niu believed it may have already become enlightened.

The Spider Technique Scroll also mentioned that spiders drinking the sap of plants about to become enlightened had a chance to upgrade or awaken special powers.

A smile crossed Qin Niu’s face.

This point, he had already figured out.

His Termites, bees, Diamond Ink Turtle, Green Ox, and other pets were able to advance only after consuming the Ancient Banyan Tree Blood.

Currently, only the Grade Seven Red-eyed Golden Toad had not consumed the Ancient Banyan Tree Blood.

It wasn’t that he begrudged it; he had simply kept needing it to provide protection. If it drank the Ancient Banyan Tree Blood and, like the Green Ox, fell asleep for two or three months, Qin Niu would lose a powerful ally in battle.

Lately, the Red-eyed Golden Toad had earned numerous merits, helping Qin Niu resolve many dangers.

Once the conflict between the Black Tiger Gang and the Nine Insect Gang had come to an end, he would immediately nurture it.

In the cultivation methods of the Spider Technique Scroll, there was a method mentioned called “spider fusion.”

It involved letting one spider devour another, merging to become one.

If the fusion were successful, it could lead to the development of a new species that combined the virtues of both spiders.

However, this method had a high rate of failure, and even if the fusion were successful, it wasn’t guaranteed to combine the virtues of the two spiders. It could also potentially combine the faults of the other spider.

This could lead to the new species having significant defects.

The way to increase the success rate was to try to have the primary spider devour spiders of the same kind.

The primary spider should preferably devour spiders weaker than itself.

Otherwise, it might be devoured in reverse, and the new species formed would be dominated by the secondary spider.

Qin Niu couldn’t help but think of the Green Demon Bee and the Corpse Bee.
