Translator: 549690339
After Qin Niu’s warning, the Golden Toad looked at him with innocent little eyes.
Qin Niu had no choice but to select a spot of land for it.
In a corner of the courtyard.
It was inconspicuous.
The place was dark and damp, an environment toads favor for shelter.
The toad hopped over, scraped off the tiles, and then began to dig into the earth.
Qin Niu didn’t bother with it any further, instead going into his house. He took out Old Master Huang’s notes and began to read them seriously. freewēbnoveℓ.com
They contained the chronicles of Old Master Huang’s life.
He was originally the son of a wealthy family, with more than thirty mu of fertile land. He aspired to become a great Beast Tamer. As a result, he was swindled out of his family fortune and left in massive debt.
His father died of rage.
His mother also followed soon after, succumbing to depression.
Facing a dead end, Old Master Huang had even considered suicide. Later, he was accidentally saved by an elder of the Nine Insect Gang and taken in as a nominal disciple.
From then on, he began to exhibit his extraordinary talent for controlling insects, advancing by leaps and bounds.
From nominal disciple, he became an official disciple, and later became the chosen disciple of that elder.
He even bred a unique species of insect by feeding them with his own flesh— the Corpse Bee.
They not only possessed night vision but were also strong and fiercely toxic, with a remarkable self-healing ability. They could rejuvenate from injuries in a very short time.
With these bees, Old Master Huang made a name for himself in the Nine Insect Gang, and with his master’s assistance, he was promoted to the position of an executor.
Afterward, through hard work, he went from being a common executor to an inner hall executor.
And he was one of the most outstanding ones.
This time he was infiltrating Black Tiger City to carry out an important mission for the gang.
It might involve the core secrets of the gang. He didn’t specify what the mission was, only mentioning that if he completed it, he would have made major achievements and could be promoted to protector within the gang.
An executor was only middle management, while a protector was already halfway into the higher echelons.
No wonder this man was so abnormally powerful; he was an inner hall executor of the Nine Insect Gang, an existence second only to a protector.
Qin Niu was able to kill him, and much of the credit went to the Ancient Banyan Tree.
Old Master Huang first had several Corpse Bees killed, causing damage to his spirit, followed by Qin Niu crushing a bee commander right before his eyes, which dealt a severe blow to his spirit.
But that wasn’t even the worst of it.
He was tricked into entering the Ancient Banyan Tree Maze, and it was before dawn—the Ancient Banyan Tree’s feeding time.
Already heavily injured in spirit, Old Master Huang fought desperately against the Ancient Banyan Tree’s attacks, barely surviving.
By that time, he was already in terrible shape.
But it didn’t stop there.
Qin Niu began to aggressively kill the Corpse Bees outside, with nearly a hundred slaughtered. This was like piling snow on Old Master Huang, who was already hurt in spirit and body.
It was like a severely injured patient being stomped on repeatedly.
Even so, Old Master Huang still clung to life desperately.
But who would have thought that after dawn, the first thing Qin Niu did upon entering the Ancient Banyan Tree Maze was to crush another bee commander.
This was like another heavy punch to the already battered Old Master Huang.
By then, Old Master Huang was barely clinging to life.
Qin Niu, playing dirty, used his Ink Blade to deliver a vicious stab, piercing his stomach.
Despite all this, Old Master Huang still had the will to fight on until the end.
However, ultimately he could not escape the killing blow of the Ink Blade.
Throughout the entire battle, Old Master Huang suffered severe disadvantages. Even before engaging in direct combat, he had already lost around eighty to ninety percent of his strength, and his life was hanging by a thread.
If Qin Niu hadn’t had these stratagems and the help of the Ancient Banyan Tree, he most certainly wouldn’t have been a match for Old Master Huang.
He also gained a clearer understanding of the strength of the Nine Insect Gang.
The true protectors, or even the sect elders, must possess even more terrifying power.
The notes beyond detailing Old Master Huang’s life story also focused on methods of cultivating Corpse Bees.
To hatch Corpse Bee eggs, one must select a piece of intact flesh on a living creature, bury the eggs within, and then use the creature’s blood flow and body temperature to incubate the eggs.
This process is extremely painful.
As the eggs hatch, they continuously release corpse poison, making the originally intact skin and flesh unbearably itchy, slowly necrotizing and rotting away.
The most ideal way of incubation is to carry it out on a living human being.
Old Master Huang chose to incubate the bee eggs within his own body, allowing them to reside inside him continuously and enduring great pain night and day.
Moreover, to cultivate those three Bee Generals, he went to great lengths and endured much suffering.
During the incubation period, he used his own cultivation to nourish them, aiding their growth in strength.
After they matured into adult bees, they needed to consume his decaying flesh every month.
To ensure sufficient food for the Bee Generals, Old Master Huang let the three of them eat the decaying flesh on his back in turns. After one finished, he would use top-grade Flesh-Regenerating Elixirs to heal the missing flesh on his back, growing new flesh.
Then he would wait for it to rot and be consumed by the second Bee General.

This was the only way to barely meet the needs of the three Bee Generals.
Nevertheless, Old Master Huang suffered unimaginable pain every day.
No wonder when Qin Niu crushed one of his Bee Generals, he went mad like his son had been killed.
The notes also presented an alternative method of incubation, which involved choosing animals, restraining their bodies, and placing the bee eggs within their flesh to hatch. He experimented with horses, dogs, rabbits, and monkeys.
The most effective were the monkeys.
He also mentioned that using live humans yielded even better results than using monkeys.
But the bodies of ordinary people are hardly able to withstand the invasion of corpse poison, often leading to death.
The whole method of hatching and cultivating Corpse Bees seemed to be an utterly evil cultivation technique.
Qin Niu temporarily discarded the idea of hatching such bees.
Utilizing animals as a substitute for incubation was barely acceptable to him, but he could never accept using living humans for the experiment.
The notes also described some methods to help strengthen the Corpse Bees, many of which were wicked techniques.
Yet, Old Master Huang did not seem to mind and even believed that if the Corpse Bees were continuously cultivated, their potential could surpass that of the Green Demon’s Green Demon Bees.
Additionally, the Step-Method Martial Skill that Qin Niu coveted was mentioned.
This was a volume of martial skills from the scripture library of the Nine Insect Gang.
Every inner sect disciple and higher-ranked position could practice it.
Every sect had numerous cultivation techniques and martial skills secret manuals, and apart from the very top ones, the rest were generally released to the sect disciples for study.
Qin Niu safely stored the two Corpse Bee eggs for later, deciding whether to hatch them depending on the circumstances.
As dusk approached, the Yan Family sent someone to fetch him again.
“Master Qin, are you free tonight to help our Yan Family with extermination?”
Ever since Steward Yan Qi found that Qin Niu was even more capable than Master Mo and Master Shi, his attitude towards Qin Niu became even more respectful.
“Alright, I’ll get ready and then accompany you,”
Qin Niu readily agreed.
He made sure to bring along the Golden Toad.
Once Qin Niu boarded the carriage, Yan Qi said to him, “Just a short while ago, Master Mo discovered an abnormal situation. A kind of very powerful locust broke through the defenses laid by Master Mo. Those locusts are formidable, and Master Mo would like to invite you over to discuss a good strategy.”
