Chapter 327 Setting up a stall and letting out a long breath, Xu Hui accepted her fate...

After letting out a long breath, Xu Hui resigned herself to checking the information about the Demon Spider.

Surprisingly, the demon spider is not a monster, but a demon. It grows in the demon world and is a unique parasite-like creature that parasitizes the demon race.

This parasite absorbs demonic energy. Once it takes hold, it is very difficult to get rid of. It is the most annoying disease among demons, so they call it the Demon Spider, because it is as annoying to demons as demonic energy.

This parasite has no effect on humans and does not absorb spiritual energy. It is a natural enemy unique to the demon race.

But what Xu Hui saw was completely different.

The demonic energy on Jiang Yang's body must have been parasitized by the demon spider, and those insects that sucked spiritual energy were the offspring of the demon spider and its puppets.

It seems that Jiang Yang has had the magic spider for quite some time and has cultivated such a large number of soul-sucking insects.

He is only at the Foundation Establishment stage and cannot go to the demon world, so how did he get the demon spider?

Why can the magic spider parasitize on him? He is a human, not a demon, nor a half-demon. Could it be that he or the magic spider has been modified so that it can parasitize the human body?

This means that some human monks are trying to control other monks by transforming the demon spider!

Xu Hui stood up suddenly and felt a chill on her back.

If this thing is parasitized, won’t it become a puppet of the person behind the scenes?

Who is it?!

This matter must be reported to the Wen family for investigation. Wait, is this what Wei Mubai just saw? Will he report it?

Xu Hui suddenly felt an urgent sense that her credit was about to be snatched away. In any case, her relationship with Wei Mubai was just her guess.

What if Wei Mubai doesn’t know her at all, and her previous experience has nothing to do with the Wei family?

If she wants to get the Soul-Replenishing Pill or enter the Shuize Secret Realm, she will need the Heavenly Soul Fruit or something valuable to exchange.

The secret realm of Haizhou is imperative!

Regardless of whether Wei Mubai would say it or not, she needed the credit, but the report could not be based on mere conjecture, she also needed some evidence.

Thinking of this, Xu Hui hurried out. The only way now was to find the second person who was parasitized by the magic spider from the crowd.

After checking the information about the Demon Spider and combining it with Jiang Yang's situation, she had some general ideas.

According to records, the demon spider is a relatively solitary creature. When it parasitizes a demon, it is equivalent to establishing a symbiotic relationship.

The demon spiders continuously devour power and reproduce offspring. Soon they will be able to produce endless spider offspring and parasitize countless demons. Then, there will be no demons left in the world.

Therefore, it has limitations. Once it becomes a parasite, it can only absorb the demonic power from the host and cannot devour anything else. If it were not for this, the demon world would have been extinct long ago.

After parasitism, the offspring of the magic spider can absorb other types of demonic power as long as they are not parasitic, but only the demonic power that originates from the parasitic host can be absorbed by the host and then by the magic spider.

If it were a human cultivator, Xu Hui guessed: Jiang Yang has three spiritual roots of gold, wood and fire, and the demon spider on his body can only absorb the spiritual power of the same spiritual roots, so the spiritual power of those cultivators before was useless to Jiang Yang, he just used the spider to kill and rob.

The person behind Jiang Yang should also be a cultivator with three spiritual roots of gold, wood and fire. Only in this way, after the demon spider in Jiang Yang's body is cultivated and grown, can that person absorb the spiritual power in Jiang Yang's body and help himself practice.

This is an evil cultivator!

In this world, there are people who follow the orthodox path of cultivating immortals, and naturally there are also people with ulterior motives who seek to make money through unconventional means.

Using the magic spider to absorb other people's spiritual power to quickly advance oneself is an evil practice that disregards the lives of others and does whatever it takes.

No one knows how he modified the demon spider to be able to absorb spiritual energy, but what is certain is that this person has been hiding in the dark for a long time, and his cultivation must be very high.

Jiang Yang will not be the first victim, nor the last.

Although on the surface it seems that the unlucky ones are the cultivators with the three spiritual roots of gold, wood and fire, but judging from Jiang Yang's actions, it is unknown how many hosts who are parasitized rely on the spider's ability to absorb spiritual energy to harm others.

Jiang Yang is a native of Wenshang City. This can be seen from the local residential jade slip found in his storage bag. He pretended to be a foreigner in order to deceive those cultivators and make them underestimate the enemy.

The formation outside Wenshang City is a big trouble for outsiders, but the locals are already familiar with it. If they encounter any trouble, they can use it skillfully to help themselves.

Jiang Yang used this to lower their vigilance and lure them into a trap.

Since Jiang Yang is from Wenshang City, the person behind the scenes is most likely living in seclusion here, definitely in the city.

The reason is very simple. Only in a city of this size can you find so many monks with the same spiritual roots.

There must be many people with the combination of gold, wood and fire in the cultural mall, but how to find them is a problem.

Xu Hui didn't know how the person behind the scenes did it, but she thought of a way to lure the snake out of its hole.

She came to the market in front, rented a stall, and put up a sign that read: Customized three-spiritual root array plate of gold, wood, and fire. Materials are at your own expense. A first-level array plate costs two hundred low-grade spirit stones, a second-level array plate costs six hundred low-grade spirit stones, and a third-level array plate costs one thousand low-grade spirit stones.

She disguised herself as a formation master with the three spiritual roots of gold, wood and fire, and under the guise of practice, she undertook the service of customized formation plates.

This kind of stall is very common in the Wenshang Mall. Many array masters do this, which allows them to practice making array plates and earn some labor fees.

A third-level formation plate only costs one thousand low-grade spirit stones, which is really cheap. If there are cultivators with similar spiritual roots, they will definitely come forward to inquire when they see it.

Sure enough, someone came forward soon and said, "Fellow Daoist, can you only make array plates with the three spiritual roots of gold, wood and fire? Logically speaking, you can also make array plates with the attributes of gold, wood and fire, right?" It doesn't make sense that the three spiritual roots must be combined!

Xu Hui shook her head and said coldly, "Every profession has its own specialization. There are too many people who can make those array plates, so they can't be sold at a high price. I want to focus on the three spiritual root array plates of gold, wood, and fire. They have great limitations, so few people can use them, and even fewer people can make them, so the price is high."

The visitor nodded in understanding. "Indeed, going the high-quality custom route is more expensive than other options. You're only at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. Can you really make a Level 3 formation plate?"

Xu Wei nodded and said lazily, "Level 3 Star-Breaking Meteorite Formation, Four Symbols Sealing Heaven Formation, Two Principles Moving Formation, Mist Hiding Thousand Mountains Formation, and Mirror Flower Mystery Formation can all be made."

The man said with satisfaction, "It has attack, defense, teleportation, concealment, and illusion. It's quite comprehensive. So, I'll customize a Liangyi Teleportation Array."

Xu Hui sat up straight and said, "Materials are at your own expense."

The man took out a basic array plate and some usable materials from his storage bag for her to choose from, including level two and level three materials.

Xu Hui picked out five items, took the formation plate and looked at it carefully, then immediately released flames to temper them first.

She was very proficient in formations and had also studied the formation system of this world in the Wenxin Book Tower. Although it was different from what she had learned, the formations of levels one to three seemed to her to be very basic and could be completely simulated.

Although she simulated the three spiritual roots of gold, wood and fire, she actually had the five spiritual roots of chaos. Her spiritual power contained the natural power of chaos. When she used the fire spiritual power to temper the array plate, she incorporated a trace of gold spiritual power to transform the base plate, making the array plate stronger than before and its effectiveness increased by at least a quarter.

In fact, doubling the improvement is not a problem, but she cannot show off too much. A quarter is already good, which can greatly improve the effect of an ordinary third-level formation. In addition, her fees are low, so she will surely become famous among the cultivators with the three spiritual roots of gold, wood and fire soon.

After the array plate was tempered, it emitted a faint glow and presented the texture of black metal under the sunlight. The subsequent production process was smooth and there was no delay. It was completed in just two quarters of an hour.

The visitor was astonished. After trying it out for a while, he was immediately amazed. He immediately took out 5,000 low-grade spirit stones and said, "Make one for each of the other four level 3 array plates."

"Not enough materials," Xu Hui sat back in her seat and responded lazily.

The man immediately walked to the stall a few meters away and said, "Pack up all the materials you have to make a level three formation plate and follow me."

The stall owner specialized in selling formation materials. Upon hearing this, he came over immediately and filled Xu Hui's stall with at least a hundred kinds of goods.

Xu Hui picked and chose, selecting dozens of types, and then gave the guests a few more materials and let them find them themselves.

This is the Wenshang City Market. Although there may not be other materials here, there must be materials needed to make the formation plate. It only took half a minute to find them all.

This commotion also attracted the attention of people around, and they all gathered around to watch the fun.

Seeing the price tag on Xu Hui's stall, people were discussing, "A level three formation plate only costs one thousand low-grade spirit stones. Could it be a low-quality product with poor effects?"

“If it’s not good, who would order five?” the person next to him retorted.

"That's right, let me take a look first. If it's good, I'll order one too. It's a good opportunity to catch such a cheap price."

Someone laughed and said, "If you have the three spiritual roots of gold, wood and fire, then it will be determined. It won't be in vain if you use it."

"What do you know? I'm not, but there are people who are. It's so cheap. If I find the right person to sell it to, I can make at least 700 to 800 low-grade spirit stones."

"That's right. I happen to have a friend who has the three spiritual roots of gold, wood, and fire. I'll ask him if he wants it."

"I also know someone, pass him a message."

Just like that, when Xu Hui started to make the second formation plate, the news had gradually spread. It was believed that soon many cultivators with the three spiritual roots of gold, wood and fire would know that there was someone here who could customize the third-level formation plate at a cheap price.

Regardless of whether there is demand or not, people will come to us for this super low price.

Even if you don't need it for the time being, you can take it to the store to exchange for other items. Although it will be damaged a little, you will never lose money.

Yes, stores will also buy this kind of array with strong bias, but their recycling price is low and the selling price is high.

There is a quantity limitation here. After all, this is not a universal array plate. It can only be used by cultivators with the three spiritual roots of gold, wood and fire. If a store buys it, it will have to bear certain risks. It may not be sold in a short time, resulting in a stock shortage.

So for the sake of safety and profit, they collect the goods and keep the price low, and when they sell them, the price will be higher than other third-level arrays.

Therefore, if you are not a cultivator with the three spiritual roots of gold, wood, and fire, it is actually not cost-effective to purchase goods from Xu Hui. The dozens or hundreds of spirit stones you earn are meaningless. You can just go out of the city and pick a few low-level spiritual plants.

Practitioners with the three spiritual roots of gold, wood and fire can store them for their own use, and if they really don't need them, they can sell them without losing money.

In this way, the next people who would ask Xu Hui to customize the formation plates would either be cultivators with the three spiritual roots of gold, wood, and fire, or their relatives and friends. Those who really wanted to make a profit would be a minority.
