486: Two Uses of Space Bugs

“The master-servant contract is out of the question; everyone can just sign an equal contract.”

Qin Feng awkwardly rubbed his nose, then directly took the three Divine Souls floating in the Void Realm into his palm and began the contract, while secretly thinking that Lu Xiuwen, that kid, had finally caught on. If he hadn't brought it up himself, he really wouldn't have had the nerve to say it.

If you bring it up, others might think you're petty and distrustful. If you don't, the Netherworld Soul Hall currently has too many secrets, and Qin Feng isn't willing to entrust his own safety to someone else's moral standards.

And while an equal contract seems equal, in reality, it is harmless to Qin Feng and not much different from a master-servant contract.

A contract initiated by the other party has no binding effect on him, but if he dies, they won't live either. So, in this situation, even if an equal contract is signed, the other party will not betray the Netherworld Soul Hall and put him in a dead end.

This is also why Lü Qingqing was so enthusiastic about helping him!

After signing the contract, Qin Feng was in a great mood and immediately said to everyone, “Now we are all one family. I’ll simply assign some tasks to you.”

“Purple Linger is skilled in business. From now on, all buying and selling of materials for the Netherworld Soul Hall will be her sole responsibility, including the inventory of all materials in the Netherworld Soul Hall except for the Spirit Medicine Peak.”

“Brother Qingyang and Xiuwen, you two don't have to do anything for now; just focus on Cultivating your Realm.”

“Uh…”

Hearing Qin Feng's allocation, Lu Xiuwen felt it was unreasonable and immediately asked, “Big Brother, how are our Cultivation resources distributed? How much is appropriate to take each month? Although the three of us joined later, we should at least receive the treatment of an Outer Sect Elder, right?”

“Resources?”

Upon hearing this, everyone present from the Netherworld Soul Hall burst into laughter.

Tie Zhu said to the three with a proud Face, “There is no such thing as 'how to distribute' resources in my Netherworld Soul Hall. As long as you need it, feel free to go to the Spirit Medicine Peak to collect it, but there is one rule everyone must obey.”

“What rule?”

“Medicinal Pills taken on the same day must be consumed on the same day. If it's for closed-door Cultivation or Undergoing Tribulation, special reporting is required. In short, do not take or hoard more than you need; take as much as you use. Medicinal Pills, Magical Artifacts, and Spirit Medicine are all fully supplied!”

“……”

Hearing such treatment, Lu Xiuwen and the Zi Family siblings all widened their eyes.

This wasn't just treatment; it was like being reborn to new parents!

Even in the Giant Elephant Sect, Qi Yuan Pavilion, or the Zi family, they had never received such treatment, yet the Netherworld Soul Hall was so generous…

In an instant, the three of them understood.

No wonder the Netherworld Soul Hall didn't have many members, yet the Sect's average strength could improve so quickly!

Zi Qingyang's eyes showed admiration, and he immediately stated, “Brother Qin, rest assured, we will definitely not disappoint you!”

“Me too!”

Lu Xiuwen looked excited, already too happy to speak.

Although the old Sect Master of the Giant Elephant Sect was his father, now that Immortals had descended upon the Giant Elephant Sect, his father no longer had a say. Especially since the Immortals had turned a blind eye to the Netherworld Soul Hall's affairs this time, Lu Xiuwen for the first time questioned the Immortals.

At least he felt their judgment was not as good as his own…

Purple Linger stood by silently, merely observing the surrounding environment with a curious expression.

When she noticed the unusual density of Spiritual Qi in the Whirlwind River Valley, she immediately took out a Magical Artifact from her storage ring to test the Spiritual Qi. A moment later, a surprised expression appeared on her Face, and she said with disbelief:

“The Spiritual Qi here is ten times denser than the outside world! It’s even higher than the Spiritual Qi density of the Immortal Sects!”

“Ten times…” Lu Xiuwen asked with a puzzled expression, “How many times denser is the Immortal Sect’s Spiritual Qi than the outside world?”

Zi Qingyang said, “Under the enhancement of Formations, the Spiritual Qi density of the Five Great Immortal Sects is only about five times that of the outside world. Even after the current heaven and earth tide, it remains the same, because they cannot refine higher-grade large Gathering Spirit Formations.”

“Holy cow, then my Big Brother is really amazing! Just this point alone can crush the Five Great Immortal Sects. What can they use to compete with us?”

Lu Xiuwen's expression grew even more excited. Gong Miaoyin, who had been standing by and rarely spoke, also showed an expression of admiration for Qin Feng at this moment.

She was quite obsessed with the study of Formations. Her initial decision to attach herself to Qin Feng was out of admiration for his accomplishments in Formations. Now, seeing outsiders praise Qin Feng's Formations so highly, she also felt proud.

“Alright, now everyone go do your own things. I still have important matters to attend to, so if you're bored, you can also come and see the trump card of my Netherworld Soul Hall. In the future, when you encounter trouble outside, don't lose Face for the Netherworld Soul Hall.”

Qin Feng smiled and turned to walk out of the grotto, and Lu Xiuwen and the others immediately followed.

Only a fool would miss such an opportunity to witness the Netherworld Soul Hall's trump card!

A moment later.

Qin Feng led everyone to the place where meat was piled up in the Whirlwind River Valley.

The entire corner of the open space was piled high with dense meat, countless corpses of various Yao Beasts and other animals, low-grade Spirit Beast meat, ordinary wild beast meat, fish, birds... corpses of all kinds of creatures, piled directly from the ground up to the canyon wall, almost level with the ground above.

The sheer quantity of this meat, coupled with some corpses already beginning to rot, emitted a particularly foul odor. Seeing this, the uninformed Lu Xiuwen and others immediately covered their mouths and noses, their eyes filled with both disdain and curiosity.

In contrast, the people of the Netherworld Soul Hall looked excited.

Because besides maggots, there were also some gray, locust-like creatures gnawing on these meat mountains.

As they sensed Qin Feng approaching, the Space Worms on the meat piles immediately became active, flapping their wings and flying around Qin Feng, as if acting spoiled.

“Big Brother, what kind of bugs are these? Grasshoppers that are deep-fried before eating?”

Lu Xiuwen looked puzzled, while Tie Zhu smiled and shook his head, teasing, “These grasshoppers aren't easy to fry. Don't believe me? Try it!”

“I'll try it, I'll try it!”

Lu Xiuwen was unconvinced, and immediately reached out to grab a Space Worm and squeezed hard!

The Space Worm remained motionless, but Lu Xiuwen's hand, due to excessive force, had two small indentations. Although his skin wasn't broken or bleeding, he still felt he was losing Face, so he immediately applied Spiritual Qi enhancement.

Lu Xiuwen's strength had now reached the Nascent Soul Stage Realm; even the head of a low-grade Spirit Beast could be easily crushed.

However…

This Space Worm, after being squeezed with all his strength for a while, still showed no reaction. Instead, it directly entered the space from his hand, then appeared a foot away and slowly flew off.

Not very damaging, but extremely insulting!

“Damn it, that's really too humiliating! Big Brother, what exactly is this thing?”

Lu Xiuwen's Face was beet red, especially when he felt the strange glances from the Zi Family siblings. He immediately clamored for them to try it too.

“Alright, I won't tease you anymore.”

“These are a special kind of worm, the most important trump card of my Netherworld Soul Hall, capable of quickly cultivating a large number of Puppets.”

Qin Feng smiled and extended his palm to summon the mother worm, intending for the mother worm to command these worms to rapidly divide and then Cultivate Puppets for Tie Zhu and Qin Mu.

As for the other use of the Space Worm.

Qin Feng had no plans to announce it yet…
