474: Parasites and carrion beetles

“Unwilling?” The Old Madam's eyes held a smile.

The Maternal Great-Uncles of the Association stiffened, “Willing, willing, of course we’re willing, aren’t we all here?”

“Either don’t come, or if you come, don’t complain,” the Old Madam calmly retorted, then turned to Wu Xian with a loving expression, “Come, Xian’er, meet your Maternal Great-Uncles.”

“Hello, Maternal Great-Uncles.”

Wu Xian politely greeted them, bowing to each Maternal Great-Uncle in turn.

The Maternal Great-Uncles were momentarily speechless, their expressions complex, forcing smiles that didn't reach their eyes.

“Hmm?” The Old Madam’s gaze sharpened.

The group of old fellows instantly shivered, quickly grinning and saying, “Xian’er, right? Come let Maternal Great-Uncle have a look. Not bad, not bad, what a handsome child.”

The words were pleasant, but it felt somewhat insincere, with too much of an act.

In the words of the acting world: their acting skills still needed improvement.

“In the future, when you develop in the Association, if you have any difficulties, find your Maternal Great-Uncles, and your Maternal Great-Uncles will help you solve them.” Elder Feng, as the leader, righteously stated his position, and the other Elders also echoed him.

However, the Old Madam’s next sentence immediately left them dumbfounded.

“You don’t need your help. From now on, just assist Xian’er in the Divine Hall,” the Old Madam calmly said, “Anyway, none of you will be assisting for many more years.”

“Divine Hall?” Elder Feng’s expression immediately turned serious, “Old Sister, what are you trying to do?”

“This, this, this…” Another Elder exclaimed anxiously, “My dear Old Sister, you can’t mess around with this matter. The authority of the Divine Hall concerns the survival and lifeline of the entire Association. Aren’t you being reckless?”

The Old Madam unhurriedly retorted, “What, can you find a more suitable successor?”

“…” Elder Feng was speechless, “Old Sister is doing so well, why is she in such a hurry to find a successor?”

“Your Old Sister wants to live happily ever after with Brother Mingchang,” the Old Madam said firmly, as if allowing no room for refutation, “I don't want to grow old alone in that boring Divine Hall. Anyway, it’s settled. You agree whether you like it or not.”

“Anyway, it’s settled. You agree whether you like it or not.”

Hearing this, the Maternal Great-Uncles were frantic, scratching their heads in distress.

“No, no, no, Old Sister, if you have any dissatisfactions, you can just say so,” Elder Feng said urgently, “If it’s really not possible, bringing Brother Wu to our side is also an option, but this matter truly cannot be messed with. If the Divine Domain collapses in our hands, how will we have the Face to see our ancestors in the future?”

“If the Divine Domain collapses in our hands, how will we have the Face to see our ancestors in the future?”

“Don’t worry, with Xian’er here, the Divine Domain won’t collapse,” the Old Madam said with full confidence, “Xian’er is willing to take over, and that’s also for my sake.”

Wu Xian remained silent at the side.

During their earlier casual chat, the Old Madam had already mentioned him taking over the Associations Divine Domain.

In summary, it was one sentence: the Old Madam wanted to retire as soon as possible and live a happy life with the Old Master.

And from both identity and ability, Wu Xian was the best candidate bestowed by heaven.

To be honest, Wu Xian only considered taking over the Associations Divine Domain, this mess, because of his relationship with the Old Madam.

After all, for him, starting anew was not a difficult task.

Seeing the Old Madam praise Wu Xian so highly, the Maternal Great-Uncles couldn't help but feel secretly surprised, “Listening to Old Sister, does the young fellow really have this ability?”

“With the Will of a True God presiding, it is naturally most suitable,” the Old Madam said with narrowed eyes and a smile, “Even more suitable than myself.”

“Will of a True God?” Elder Feng exclaimed in surprise, “The young maternal grandson has the Will of a True God within him?”

Wu Xian pondered and nodded.

“Hiss~ this, this, this…” The Maternal Great-Uncles were overjoyed, growing more excited the more they thought about it, “With the Will of a True God presiding, it is naturally very stable.”

“So, our Association’s Divine Domain will also have the Will of a True God presiding?” The eyes of the other old men lit up.

“It’s just this child…” Elder Feng hesitated.

The Old Madam naturally understood his little thoughts and coldly retorted, “When did the Association value Bloodline? And regarding the Feng Family Bloodline, you, boy, are the least qualified to mention it.”

Elder Feng awkwardly shut his mouth, no longer daring to bring up the matter.

He could only blame himself for being a male, inherently more in the wrong than his Old Sister.

Back then, he thought that with his Old Sister around, it would be fine if he didn't marry, and he could just find a Wealthy Husband later.

And what Old Madams name thought was that with him, a male, around, she didn't have that kind of pressure.

Thus, the current awkward situation arose.

Both sides were relying on the other to take on the important task of continuing the Family line, but in the end, neither could rely on the other.

“If you really care about this, then quickly find a young girl and leave a descendant for the Feng Family.” The Old Madam said irritably.

“Cough cough, let’s change the topic~ change the topic,” Elder Feng's old Face flushed, and he straightened his expression, “Speaking of which, what kind of existence is the young maternal grandson’s Will of a True God? Will it look down on our Association’s Divine Domain?”

Wu Xian chuckled and said, “I also went to the Association’s Divine Domain with Chairman Cui earlier to take a look. I can only say I’ll do my best.”

Hearing this, the Maternal Great-Uncles and Elders looked a bit awkward.

Although with the Will of a True God present, there was certainly nothing wrong with Wu Xian taking over.

But on second thought, the mess of the Association’s Divine Domain was somewhat embarrassing.

To put it bluntly, any random second-rate Family’s minor Divine Domain chosen by a True God’s Will would be better than taking over the mess of the Association’s Divine Domain.

“This is excellent, excellent,” Elder Feng nodded excitedly, then hesitated as he looked at Old Madams name and Wu Mingchang, “Can the young maternal grandson change his surname to Feng? That would also resolve the guilt and regret of us siblings.”

Old Master Wu Mingchang said indifferently, “I don’t care, it’s all up to Xian’er himself.”

“Changing the surname is unnecessary, it has no meaning.” Wu Xian waved his hand.

“So be it,” Elder Feng sighed lightly, “Let it be broken then.”

Wu Xian joked, “As for you, Old Senior, as long as you can get past that mental hurdle, you can completely have a child in your old age.”

“Nonsense~” Elder Feng’s old Face flushed, “How old is Maternal Great-Uncle now?”

“What if I could make you return to your youth and regain your former vigor?” Wu Xian asked with a smile, “Would you consider it?”

Hearing this, the old men and women present were visibly stunned.

Elder Feng, meanwhile, fell into deep thought.

Although he had regretted it over the years.

But if there truly was such an opportunity to start over, he might still make the same choice as he did back then.

“What does the young maternal grandson mean by that?” A slightly plump Maternal Great-Uncle questioned in surprise.

Even the Old Madam couldn't help but show an expectant look, after all, Wu Xian had mentioned returning to youth to the Old Master before, and the Old Master had naturally mentioned it to the Old Madam.

But the old couple hadn't really taken it to heart, thinking it was just a beautiful wish.

However, Wu Xian mentioning it again now indicated that there was indeed a chance.

“Does that True God Will on Xian’er really possess such Divine Ability?” The Old Madam’s eyes flickered, “Are there any side effects?”

“There are no side effects, it’s just that the cost is a bit high, making it seem somewhat extravagant and not worth the effort.” Wu Xian explained.

The Old Madam didn’t hesitate at all, “What Materials are needed? I’ll have the entire Association collect them.”

Indeed, women value this aspect far more than men. As long as it can be achieved, they won’t consider the cost at all.

In contrast, the Old Master was much more rational, “How many longevity pills would that cost approximately?”

“Conservatively, at least a hundred pills,” Wu Xian mused, “And it requires two types of Medicinal Pills to work together, so that’s the value of the Materials for two hundred longevity pills.”

Additionally, due to the presence of Great King Fungus, the cost of longevity pills can be significantly reduced.

But the Youthful Face Pill and the Ageless Face Pill are different.

“That is a bit extravagant,” the Old Master pondered, “Let’s consider it after resources are abundant.”

“The Materials for these two Medicinal Pills are already extremely difficult to collect, so starting to collect them as early as possible is also an option.” Wu Xian smiled.

“Yes, yes, the sooner the better.” The Old Madam was overjoyed.

For her, if she could restore her youthful appearance, coupled with the extended Lifespan from longevity pills, it would completely make up for the regrets of their old couple.

Meanwhile, the Maternal Great-Uncles were shocked by another point, “What? Those longevity pills were made by the young maternal grandson?”

The Old Madam smiled without speaking.

“Oh my, quick, let Maternal Great-Uncle hug you~!” Elder Feng now had absolutely no pretense in his acting, “As expected of my Feng Family’s young maternal grandson, good child, truly a good child. From now on, you are Maternal Great-Uncle’s own maternal grandson.”

“The young fellow isn’t surnamed Feng, he should be our common maternal grandson.” The other Elders also chuckled and tried to get closer.

Facing the doting behavior of the old men, Wu Xian felt uncomfortable all over.

After some pleasantries, he quickly brought the conversation back to the main topic, “By the way, Maternal Great-Uncles, how do you plan to infiltrate the New Abyss?”

Hearing this, Elder Feng and the others also became serious, “We brought a few potentially useful Elders from the Odd Department. The specific effects still need to be verified, as the power of the Evil God cannot be viewed with common sense.”

“We brought a few potentially useful Elders from the Odd Department. The specific effects still need to be verified, as the power of the Evil God cannot be viewed with common sense.”

Subsequently, under Elder Feng’s introduction, they met five Odd Department bigwigs.

Each of them had a gloomy appearance and temperament, not looking like good people.

After Elder Feng’s introduction, Wu Xian’s eyes instantly lit up.

The Odd Department truly lived up to its name; the abilities of these Odd Department bigwigs were exceptionally unique.

The scrolls of these five Odd Department bigwigs seemed to all be of the “Parasite” type, and all were jade scrolls fused with special Insect World great demons.

“Theoretically, as long as it’s a Physical Body, these few can penetrate deep into the New Abyss through parasitic development, carving out a path within the Evil God’s massive Physical Body.” Elder Feng said.

Another Maternal Great-Uncle secretly frowned, “It’s just that we tried it along the way, and the effect was much worse than we expected.”

The Odd Department bigwigs nodded in succession, “The Evil God’s flesh and blood tissue indeed cannot be viewed as ordinary flesh and blood. Parasitic invasion is not easy, but it’s not entirely impossible, it just requires more time.”

“No hurry, first parasitize and figure out the situation inside the New Abyss before anything else.” Elder Feng analyzed.

Wu Xian, however, curiously looked at a short, stout old man among the five bigwigs who hadn’t spoken much, “Is this one’s scroll also related to Parasites?”

“Barely,” Elder Feng said, “A type of Beetle that feeds on flesh and carrion, with extremely strong reproductive capabilities.”

Hearing this, Wu Xian rejoiced, “May I have a look, Senior?”

The short, stout old man silently nodded. As his Qi surged, countless densely packed dark black Beetles scurried out from all over his body. The faintly emanating Corpse Qi thrilled Wu Xian.

“Corpse Beetles?” Wu Xian’s eyes lit up, “Perhaps there’s a chance!”

“What do you mean by that?” Everyone was puzzled.

“I only recently clarified the essence of that Evil God; it can be understood as a kind of corrupted and mutated zombie.” Wu Xian explained, “Therefore, a special creature like the Corpse Beetle is theoretically very suitable for dealing with the Evil God’s flesh and blood.”

“A corrupted zombie?” Elder Feng was secretly surprised.

Wu Xian continued, “It’s just that Senior’s Corpse Beetles are probably still a bit lacking. By the way, Senior, can your Corpse Beetle scroll be improved by absorbing Corpse Qi?”

The short, stout old man nodded with a strange expression, “Indeed it can, but the Corpse Qi power available on the market has basically already been absorbed by me. It might not be easy to find stronger Corpse Qi.”

“No worries~ I happen to have some here, and I’m just about to draw it.” Wu Xian smiled.

“Zombie-type scroll?” Everyone was surprised, “Does Xian’er’s True God Will system even have such a thing?”

Wu Xian explained awkwardly, “Zombies are essentially a special Cultivation path. After Cultivating to a certain level, they can also become powerful existences like gods.”

After some discussion and planning, Wu Xian immediately rushed back to the Club and began to draw the Four Great Corpse Ancestors.

It turned out that the purified Evil God’s flesh and blood were indeed perfect Zombie Picture Scroll Materials.

It was just that because the Flesh and Blood Demon God was too massive, the quality of the flesh and blood Materials was quite a bit worse than normal Divine-Grade Materials.

But a starved camel is still bigger than a horse.

No matter how bad, it was still True God-level Material, certainly qualified for making the Four Great Corpse Ancestors.

It was just that due to the limitations of the divine power core, only gold scrolls could be made at most.

However, according to the God of Wealth, the power of the Four Great Corpse Ancestors should be able to bypass or be exempt from the restrictions of conventional scroll rules.

After all, “zombies” themselves are existences detested by heaven and earth.

“Be careful, the power of these few is not so docile. Even with the rules of this world restricting them, they may not be so easy to control.” The God of Wealth reminded.

The God of Wealth’s meaning was clear.

Even if a Scroll Master has absolute control over the copyright of a divine scroll, some powerful evil forces can still turn around and devour their master.

Just like those Evil God Scroll Masters and evil scrolls.

Of course, this kind of “backlash” operation is a hidden danger left during the drawing process.

In other words, the evil scroll was already subtly “backlashing” the Scroll Master during the drawing process.

Therefore, Wu Xian must be vigilant during the drawing process.

As long as there are no errors or omissions during the drawing process, once the divine scroll copyright imprint is formed, there will fundamentally be no more hidden dangers.

“When necessary, use Karma to suppress it,” the God of Wealth said solemnly, “This Venerable will also keep a close eye and assist from behind.”

Wu Xian took a deep breath, “Thank you for your trouble.”

With that, he adjusted to his optimal state and began to draw.

Among the Four Great Corpse Ancestors, aside from Nuwa, who was relatively gentle, none of them were easy to deal with.

And at this moment, the one to be prioritized was Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen, currently the most suitable Corpse Ancestor to deal with the Flesh and Blood Demon God.

“Perhaps I can mix something into the conception?”

To ensure safety, it was naturally safest to intervene during the conception stage, directly mixing something in at the conceptual level.

The advantage is greater security and safety, but the disadvantage is that it will limit Corpse Ancestor's power to a certain extent.
