Chapter 146 The Patriarch's Night Talk
At this time, Long Xuan's eyes could no longer accommodate the other mantises, and he immediately said: "No need to choose, I think it and I are destined, so it's this one!"
Long Xuan pointed at the mantis with ten arms.
His words not only stunned Long Ruoxue, but also the ten-armed mantis. It didn't expect that someone would choose it. It soon showed a look of surprise.
"Are you sure you want to choose it? This Silver Moon Mantis was born with eight more arms than the normal Silver Moon Mantis. It is a deformed child."
"Not only was it excluded by the other Silver Moon Mantises, but even all the Long family Gu cultivators disliked it and didn't want it."
"Who knows what will happen when using a deformed mantis to refine Gu, no one dares to take the risk." Long Ruoxue kindly reminded.
In this world, not only humans may give birth to deformed children, but insects may also give birth to deformed children. Not to mention growing a few more arms, even growing a few more heads is a common thing.
But being deformed is never a good thing. She has never seen a deformed human become a strong man, so she is not optimistic about this congenitally deformed Silver Moon Mantis, nor does she recommend Long Xuan to choose it.
She didn't know that the reason why Long Xuan, a novice in swordsmanship, chose this mantis was that the more swords, the better, and multi-sword flow is definitely stronger than single-sword flow.
If she knew that Long Xuan actually had this idea, she would have to laugh out loud. If he understood it this way, then everyone would choose the dual-sword flow route. Who would choose the weaker single-sword flow?
Of course, Long Xuan would not tell his reasons, and then said: "I have made up my mind, don't persuade me, I only want this freak!"
"I think you are the freak, okay! Since you insist on choosing this deformed child, then I won't persuade you, you can just take the deformed child away. I hope you won't regret your choice at that time." Long Ruoxue said.
The Silver Moon Mantis is indeed a highly intelligent spirit insect, and it can completely understand what humans say.
After hearing that it already had a master, the mantis immediately showed ecstasy, and then immediately ran towards Long Xuan.
For the Silver Moon Mantis, humans are the key to their strength. All Silver Moon Mantises are eager to be chosen by humans, especially for a deformed child that no one wants, the desire to be chosen is even greater.
Long Xuan touched its head lovingly and smiled: "I will name you Xiaoyue. Don't worry, I will definitely train you into a poisonous insect."
After saying that, he put the ten-armed mantis into the insect breeding bag, fearing that the night would be long and dreams would be many.
Seeing this scene, Long Ruoxue sighed secretly. Although he made a wrong choice, it was good this way. No one wanted this deformed child. The clan had already decided to deal with it. Now it was good to be chosen by someone, which could be regarded as saving a top-quality spiritual insect for the family.
She suddenly looked at Long Ziyan again and said with a smile: "Long Xuan has made his choice, now it's your turn."
"Although they are both top-grade spirit insects, their comprehension is completely different, and the gap between them may be huge."
"Whether you can choose the Silver Moon Mantis with the strongest comprehension depends entirely on your vision."
Long Ziyan nodded, showing an interested look, and walked towards the more than ten top-grade Silver Moon Mantises with a smile.
This group of top-grade Silver Moon Mantises already knew that someone was going to choose them, so they all surrounded them excitedly, looking at Long Ziyan with expectant eyes, hoping that they would be the one to be chosen.
Long Ruoxue was shocked at this time. It was the first time she saw Silver Moon Mantises like someone so much.
Silver Moon Mantises are all highly intelligent spirit insects, and they know that they can only soar to the sky if they follow the right master.
In particular, the top-grade Silver Moon Mantises have higher vision, and they are also very picky when choosing their masters.
The richer and more talented Gu Xiu can get their love.
Every time someone came to choose the best silver moon mantis, it was good enough if a few of them came over. Most of them would turn their backs and show disgust, not wanting to follow this person, as if following this person would lead to no future.
When Long Ziyan came, all the best silver moon mantises actually came over, and their eyes were excited and they showed a flattering look, as if following Long Ziyan would definitely lead to a bright future.
They actually all liked Long Ziyan and wanted to be chosen by her. This was the first time she encountered such a thing, the first time she met a Gu cultivator who was so popular with silver moon mantises. When she was choosing silver moon mantises, she was far from being treated like this.
What kind of magic did Long Ziyan have that made them like her to such an extent that all the best silver moon mantises were captured?
Long Xuan couldn't help but sigh secretly, is this all over? Long Ziyan is so charming? She can even kill insects.
"Sword bone! It's sword bone! They can feel the sword bone in Long Ziyan's body, so they think Long Ziyan is the most suitable master for them. Long Ziyan is going to be snatched by all the silver moon mantises!"
Long Ruoxue suddenly guessed it and exclaimed.
Long Ziyan smiled, looked at the silver moon mantis, and touched this silver moon mantis. For a moment, she was dazzled and didn't know which one to choose.
There are only more than ten top-grade silver moon mantises, and the choice space is very small, but she was entangled in choice for a while.
Finally, she touched the head of a silver moon mantis and smiled: "I think this one is destined to be with me, so I'll choose this one."
Long Ruoxue's eyes showed a trace of unnaturalness. Wow, the silver moon mantis with the highest comprehension here was picked by her at a glance. What a good eye.
Long Ruoxue showed a pained look. She had chosen this Silver Moon Mantis King at the beginning, but it ignored her and disliked her temple. So she had to settle for a slightly inferior one. Was she really that much worse than Long Ziyan?
"Okay! You have a good eye. You actually picked the Silver Moon Mantis King. Those old guys are really generous. I thought they would hide the Silver Moon Mantis King, but I didn't expect them to dare to put it in there. Now it's lost. They are sad."
"Since both of you have made your choice, let's leave. I will take you to visit other places."
After saying that, Long Ruoxue turned and walked downstairs.
A group of people behind her slowly followed.
The Silver Moon Mantis King showed a proud look in her own tribe. After waving goodbye to her own kind, she followed Long Ziyan downstairs happily.
...
Time passed quickly until night, and the lights were on in the attic of the owner.
The head of the family, Long Yuanshan, and Long Qian sat opposite each other at a table and had a long talk.
"Head, the group of geniuses have been settled. In view of what happened today, I sent three peak Spiritual Sea Stage masters to watch over their safety. There will be no problem."
"It's just that Long Ziyan took the Silver Moon Mantis King away. What were they thinking? Didn't they hide the Silver Moon Mantis King before?" Long Qian asked puzzledly.
The Silver Moon Mantis King is the insect king of the Silver Moon Mantis tribe, but it is much stronger than the normal top-grade Silver Moon Mantis, and its value is more than ten times higher.
Unfortunately, the Silver Moon Mantis King is too arrogant, and no one looks down on it. Everyone who looks at it thinks that the temple is too small to accommodate it, and no one has been able to take it away successfully.
After all, this is a highly intelligent spiritual insect. If it is taken away by force, it will inevitably have the problem of insufficient loyalty, so it has been left there.
Unexpectedly, they were taken away by a foreign genius without paying attention. This time, their loss was too great. Now they feel painful when they think about it.
Long Yuanshan showed a trace of embarrassment, but quickly restrained it. Before Long Dan had an accident, he rushed to the City Lord's Mansion in a hurry and forgot about this matter. Unexpectedly, he lost the Silver Moon Mantis King due to a slight negligence.
He was also very painful now. The Silver Moon Mantis King was what he was going to keep for Long Dan.
His face was terribly dark, and he said angrily: "It's all because of that Long Biao! If he hadn't insisted that Long Ziyan also choose one, and if he hadn't said that he favored boys over girls, he would not give it to her. Otherwise, would this happen?"
"It's all his fault! This prodigal thing, wait for a chance and see how I deal with him!"
"Just do as you said, cross out his place, and don't let him participate in this genius competition."
Long Yuanshan was so angry that he blew his beard. He pushed all his negligence onto Long Biao, which made him feel better.
"But fortunately, Long Xuan picked up the least valuable Silver Moon Mantis, which can be regarded as saving some losses for the family. Are you sure that person is him? Don't make a mistake."
Long Yuanshan suddenly showed a serious look and looked at Long Qian and asked.
"There is no way I can be wrong!" Long Qian said very confidently: "I have talked with Long Wanli. Although he has always kept silent about who invented those Gu prescriptions, the information in his words is enough for me to lock on who the target is."
"Long Wanli said that the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. His identity will be announced only after he grows up."
"From this sentence, it is enough to judge that this person's current realm is not high. He is a figure of the younger generation, and he must be a genius of the demon level. The scope is already very small here."
"Long Wanli said that Long Xuan didn't come to participate in the clan competition because he had too many contribution points and looked down on the contribution rewards of the clan competition. How could a normal person have so many contribution points that he even despised the high contribution rewards of the clan competition. . "
"If this sentence is said again, Long Xuan is the person without any accident, almost certainly."
"I think it can be correct, so I plan to let him refine the knife Gu of my clan, not only to sell a favor and make friends, but also to keep him here for a long time."
"How can the knife Gu be so easy to refine? Even if it is really refined, it needs to let the knife Gu learn a large number of knife skills, and only my clan has a large number of knife skills reserves."
"Because of the knife Gu, my clan is the largest clan with the most complete collection of knife skills, and there is no other in the West. If he doesn't stay here to learn knife skills, where else can he go?"
"He can't think of going back for at least three years. As long as he can stay here for a long time, everything will be easy."
A gleam of light flashed in Long Qian's eyes.
"If so, it is most likely this person."
Long Yuanshan nodded and said, "You did a good job. This plan is very clever. The knife Gu is enough to hold him here for a long time."
"But does he really have the ability to modify the Dragon Blood War Gu recipe? I still can't make up my mind. Researching the Gu recipe requires a huge amount of resources. If it fails, our clan will be seriously injured."
Long Qian sighed, "Who can guarantee that this kind of thing will be 100% successful? Who can say for sure whether he can modify the Dragon Blood War Gu recipe?"
"But I think, if even he can't do it, then it's even more impossible for others to do it!"
