Chapter 171 - Chapter 171: Chapter 166 When Mother Hen_1 (2/2)

No other method was effective.

Eating copious amounts of the Corpse King’s flesh did not increase the potency of his Medicine King Sutra by even a little bit.

He felt that the Medicine King Sutra was very special, likely created solely for the purpose of refining and identifying medicines.

There were no incidents throughout the night.

It seemed that after taking down Mu Kuai, the Green Silkworm, and the two Corpse Bees, Old Master Huang temporarily lost his target.

However, even so, Qin Niu still did not dare to be careless.

He took out a low-grade Talisman, bit his fingertip, activated the Talisman, and then attempted to subdue one of the Corpse Bees.

The golden light that emanated from the Talisman upon approaching the Corpse Bee was directly repelled.

A faint golden light appeared on the surface of the Corpse Bee.

This indicated that it had already been claimed by someone, owned and bound.

Such insects or animals could not be tamed.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting, Qin Niu’s gaze turned to the egg of the Green Silk Worm.

The golden light from the Talisman shot towards the insect egg.

This time, it was successful.

The golden light entered the insect egg as if into a bottomless pit, causing not even a ripple of disturbance.

He knew what this meant.

It meant the egg he had subdued was of a higher grade than Grade One.

The prior consumption of a low-grade Talisman was merely a test to see if the Corpse Bee had already been claimed.

Now that it was confirmed to be claimed, it indicated that Old Master Huang had established a direct connection with it.

The day before yesterday, killing that Corpse Bee must have certainly caused some spirit damage to Old Master Huang.

The other party now knew that Qin Niu was capable of handling Grade Four Corpse Bees.

“Old Master Huang didn’t come to seek vengeance last night, either because he couldn’t find the location, or because his soul was wounded, or maybe he realized that the Mu Kuai and Corpse Bees he sent out had been killed, so he didn’t dare to make any reckless moves,” Qin Niu thought to himself with a touch of enlightenment.

A mid-grade Contractual Talisman in his hand was activated, transforming into golden light that entered the insect egg, smaller than a sesame seed.

This time, there was finally a bit of a reaction.

After a moment, a wisp of faint golden light shot out, entering Qin Niu’s forehead.

Fortunately, this Green Silk Worm was still in the egg stage and had almost no consciousness to resist. Therefore, the entire taming process went exceptionally smoothly.

Green Silkworm (Egg)

Grade: Grade Two, Cephalopodic Ringworms, experience towards the next level o/iooo

Lifespan: Infinite

Energy: 1

Skills: None

Talent: Parasitism

Currently, it is still in the egg stage, and its abilities are in a state of the unknown.

It is only after it successfully hatches that we will know what skills it possesses.

As for talent, it may change as the insect continuously advances in grade.

Sometimes, when insects advance in grade, they may lose their original talent.

But most often, insects acquire new talents upon advancing in grade.

If an Insect Master’s insect loses its talent during the process of advancement, they can only consider it bad luck.

However, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Because when an insect evolves, the loss of a talent may be in exchange for becoming stronger. Often, the lost talent conflicts with new capabilities, and the insect makes a choice to discard the talent in order to gain more powerful skills.

Qin Niu, having successfully claimed this Green Silkworm, was filled with endless anticipation and joy.

The next step was to keep it close to his body and use his body heat to incubate it.

Being an Insect Master is truly not easy, feeling now like a mother hen that has to incubate this egg. He also had to be constantly alert to avoid letting it get cold.

“I hope it can hatch soon.”

According to the scriptures on the jade slip, at best it only takes about a month to hatch, but if it’s slow, then it’s a bit tragic, possibly taking several years.

The main concern is that it’s so small that it’s prone to getting lost.
