Eternal Life from the Golden Needle Technique

Chapter 397: Chapter 394: Improving the Beast Taming Technique

Whether this Otherworld had penicillin, or if penicillin was even effective against microbial Gu Insects, was irrelevant.

Shen Changchuan was out of options.

Xiaojin had indeed become a ”king” by fighting its way through tens of millions of Gu Insects.

But it was, after all, an insect-type Gu Insect.

Whether from a food chain perspective or any other, it was unlikely to have any deterrent effect on microbial Gu Insects.

Using the penicillin from his past life was nothing more than a desperate gamble.

After leaving behind the treatment method,

Shen Changchuan didn’t stay any longer in the recuperation courtyard.

Continuously controlling Xiaojin to exorcise Gu Insects for five days had been a great drain on his Heart Spirit.

He needed to go back and get some proper rest.

He ended up resting,

for three days.

A Cultivator in the Soul Emergence Realm had a powerful Divine Soul and could go ten days and ten nights without rest without any issue.

This just went to show how exhausted Shen Changchuan was.

But fortunately,

from this kind of exhaustion,

his condition had mostly returned to normal after three days of rest.

Now recovered, Shen Changchuan didn’t go out immediately.

Instead, he began to observe Xiaojin.

Because,

at this moment, Xiaojin,

was curled up into a tight ball, like a sweet dumpling.

It almost seemed to have lost all Vitality.

Through his Gu Technique connection, he could only faintly sense a wave of fatigue and drowsiness coming from it.

’What’s going on?’

’Could it be that it benefited from its work these past few days and is about to have a breakthrough?’

Shen Changchuan placed Xiaojin on the table,

observing it carefully.

His brow was tightly furrowed.

This idea of his was not entirely baseless.

In fact,

during the five days of Exorcising Gu, of the more than 390 Cultivators treated, not all of the Gu Insects were driven out just by Xiaojin’s ”killing aura.”

The Gu Insects inside many of them were not the slightest bit lower in rank than Xiaojin.

Also at Tier Two High Level,

those Gu Insects were naturally unwilling to abandon the Cultivators’ bodies they occupied, and so they battled Xiaojin inside the Cultivators.

Of course,

with Shen Changchuan there,

even if the enemy was a Tier Two Top Level Gu Insect,

Shen Changchuan could lend a hand from the outside, allowing Xiaojin to defeat and devour its opponent.

But even so,

the recent days of Exorcising Gu had been a very strenuous affair for Xiaojin.

Therefore,

to maintain Xiaojin’s condition,

Shen Changchuan had turned the Gu Insects it drove out into nutritious food for it.

This also meant that,

within these five days, Xiaojin had devoured more than 390 Gu Insects.

And among them were quite a few at the Tier Two High Level!

For Xiaojin, this was undoubtedly a massive amount of resources!

Its current state,

might very well be because it had accumulated enough resources to be on the verge of breaking through to the next level!

Numerous thoughts flashed through Shen Changchuan’s mind.

”Sigh, you’ve worked hard, little guy. I’ll let you get some good rest.”

After observing for a long time, Shen Changchuan couldn’t figure anything out.

He could only let out a sigh.

Afterward, he set up a temporary dwelling for it near the Spiritual Spring Eye in his temporary cave abode.

If it was going to break through,

it couldn’t stay in the Spirit Beast Bag.

Fortunately, Shen Changchuan had been raising centipedes on a large scale for three years,

so setting up a temporary home for Xiaojin was not difficult.

Shen Changchuan gently placed Xiaojin into the newly built nest.

’I don’t know what the final outcome will be, but I hope everything turns out alright!’ he thought to himself.

But after arranging everything,

Shen Changchuan couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

’My method of Exorcising Gu relies entirely on Xiaojin. But now that this little thing has fallen into a deep sleep, what will I do if more Poisoned Cultivators come back from the front lines?’

’And... even if this little thing wakes up in time, I can’t just stay in Barbaric City forever, waiting for heavily wounded Cultivators to retreat from the front lines so I can exorcise their Gu one by one, can I?’

’No,

that’s impossible!’

He had his own things to do.

Whether it was refining the Golden Wind Jade Dew Gu or raising his Cultivation Realm.

He couldn’t stay in Barbaric City forever, treating people and Exorcising Gu!

After all,

this war, no matter how you looked at it, wasn’t going to end anytime soon.

It would last several years at the very least, maybe even decades.

As long as there was war,

there would inevitably be people poisoned by Gu.

He couldn’t stay here forever, Exorcising Gu for people!

’So, I need a solution!’

’A method of Exorcising Gu that others can use too!’

Shen Changchuan’s mind raced.

Numerous thoughts flashed one by one.

Soon,

he had an idea.

That was to cultivate Tier Two Gu Insects, and then have other people use those Tier Two Gu Insects to exorcise the Gu for others!

’This should work!’

Shen Changchuan’s eyes lit up slightly.

After five days of Exorcising Gu,

he had gained a deeper understanding of Gu Technique and a clearer grasp of the relationships between Gu Insects.

Exorcising Gu,

didn’t necessarily have to be done by Xiaojin!

Other Gu Insects should be able to do it too.

Especially Gu Insects that had advanced by fighting, killing, and devouring large numbers of their own kind.

The effect would be even better!

Because these kinds of Gu Insects, having grown up through countless brutal life-or-death battles and mutual consumption, naturally possessed an extremely strong aggressive nature!

Therefore,

they could easily sense the aura of their own kind,

and upon sensing an enemy’s presence, they would immediately go to fight and devour it!

At the same time,

this intense hostility and desire,

in the eyes of other Gu Insects, carried an extremely strong killing aura.

This was also why,

the Gu Insects in many Cultivators’ bodies would quickly flee upon sensing Xiaojin’s aura!

’I’ll use large-scale breeding, have them devour each other, and cultivate Poisonous Insect Kings.’

’Then I’ll hand these Poisonous Insect Kings over to others, and have them use my method to command the Poisonous Insect Kings to exorcise the Gu Insects from the bodies of Poisoned Cultivators!’

’That way, I naturally won’t have to stay here, and the problem of Gu poisoning can be solved!’

Shen Changchuan’s eyes grew brighter and brighter.

This was highly feasible!

What’s more,

after three years of large-scale centipede breeding, he was intimately familiar with all the procedures and precautions.

He had even developed some Magic to catalyze the centipedes’ reproduction and growth over the past three years to speed up the process.

In this way,

although it was unlikely he could cultivate a Tier Two High Level Poisonous Insect King like Xiaojin in a short time,

it wasn’t impossible to cultivate one or two Tier Two Early Stage Gu Insects within a few months!

’Tier Two Early Stage... that should be enough!’

’Anyway, if the situation looks bad during a fight, someone can just intervene manually!’

’No... that’s still not enough. Not everyone has a Tier Two Gu Technique Cultivation and can control a Poisonous Insect King to enter a person’s body and battle an enemy Gu Insect...’

’Without the means to control it via Gu Technique, a single mistake could cause it to go out of control, making things even worse for the Poisoned Cultivator!’

’That won’t do!’

’What should I do... I’ve got it! I should be able to create a complementary Secret Technique for controlling the Poisonous Insect King!’

’Perhaps... it’s time to start modifying that Secret Technique...’

One thought after another flashed through his mind.

Soon,

Shen Changchuan turned his attention to a Beast Taming Technique he had acquired years ago.

A while ago,

he had actually had an idea,

which was to improve the Beast Taming Secret Technique,

and combine it with Gu Technique so that he could more clearly perceive Xiaojin’s thoughts and command its actions.

He had simply been too busy and had to set it aside.

Now,

improving the Beast Taming Secret Technique,

the time had come!
