Chapter 546 - 233: Gains on All Sides

"Does this jar have a lid!?"

Seeing the Silver Thread Centipede excitedly rush over with a Poisonous Jar, the Golden Toad exclaimed in astonishment.

"Squeak squeak!"

The Silver Thread Centipede cautiously handed the Poisonous Jar to Shen Li, making a pleasing sound.

Shen Li examined the Poisonous Jar, confirming the strange aura she sensed earlier emanated from inside it, so she carefully held it up.

"Miss, the thing inside... should be very powerful!"

Perhaps sensing the aura of the three demons and Shen Li, the contents within the Poisonous Jar regained some vitality, allowing the Snow Wolf King to vaguely detect a hint of an unusual aura.

The ability to determine the strength of the inside contents from this faint aura was solely due to the uniqueness of the Poisonous Jar.

Just earlier, when the Golden Toad in the Late Stage of Fetal Breathing drilled into a Poisonous Jar, its aura was instantly concealed.

Yet, the Poisonous Jar in front of them had a lid, and the aura inside could still escape, proving that, purely from aura alone, it was stronger than the Golden Toad.

Shen Li nodded, then held the Poisonous Jar and examined it carefully for a moment.

"Let’s retreat first."

She didn’t rashly open the Poisonous Jar in the valley, afraid that unforeseen events might occur and alarm the creatures and two cultivators confronting each other on the other side of the valley.

With a wave of her hand, she collected all the Poisonous Jars on the ground into her Storage Bag, and immediately, the group of one human and three demons left the valley, arriving at another hidden location.

"Snow Wolf King, Xiao Jin, I need you to be extra vigilant later."

"Xiao Yin, stay alert on the side."

After solemnly instructing the three demons, Shen Li set up a barrier around her and prepared some Witchcraft Talismans nearby to promptly address any unexpected situations.

After completing everything, she then used Technique from afar to slowly open the Poisonous Jar.

The lid of the Poisonous Jar was removed, and the imagined accident didn’t occur.

This left the tense Snow Wolf King and Golden Toad somewhat puzzled.

Shen Li slightly frowned as well.

She could ascertain that the contents of the Poisonous Jar were alive, but now that the lid was removed, why was there no reaction from the inside?

After some hesitation, she walked slowly toward the Poisonous Jar.

"Miss..."

The Snow Wolf King called out in slight worry.

With the lid of the Poisonous Jar open, he could clearly feel a faint sense of oppression emanating from inside.

This sense of oppression proved that the life level of the contents inside far exceeded his own.

"It’s fine."

After slightly pausing in her steps, Shen Li slowly approached the Poisonous Jar.

The sunlight overhead pierced through the gaps in the leaves, just shining on the mouth of the Poisonous Jar. Using the weak light, Shen Li vaguely saw a touch of emerald green at the bottom of the jar.

That touch of emerald green trembled slightly, as if struggling to rise up.

Upon seeing this, she directly approached the Poisonous Jar and cautiously lifted it.

"This is..."

"Shaped like grass, body like a sword, emerald like jade..."

"Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect!"

The Ancient Beast Skin Book gifted by Xu Xiu back then contained many introductions about Ancient Strange Gu.

The Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect was one of the four major Ancient Strange Gu.

Shen Li could hardly believe that the weak little creature unable to move inside the Poisonous Jar was the legendary Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect.

Suppressing the shock and joy in her heart, she carefully extended her hand into the Poisonous Jar.

This scene made the Snow Wolf King and Golden Toad hold their breaths in fright!

Fortunately, the imagined disaster did not occur.

Shen Li withdrew her hand from the Poisonous Jar, holding in her palm a slender little creature that was two inches long and looked like a piece of wild grass leaf.

The little creature lay weakly in her palm, its transparent wings as thin as cicada wings quivering and emitting a green light under the sunlight.

Seeing no danger, the Snow Wolf King and Golden Toad also approached.

"Miss... this creature seems to be dying."

Studying the weak vitality of the Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect in Shen Li’s hand, the Snow Wolf King spoke in a deep voice.

"It’s a larva, and the Poisonous Jar has cut off most of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi..." Shen Li gently grabbed some Spiritual Energy Balls from the air with her other hand and softly applied them to the body of the Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect, continuing: "Its owner must have left hastily or died unexpectedly without a chance to take care of it."

Nourished by the Spiritual Qi Shen Li provided, the Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect finally regained some vitality.

Its transparent wings gently quivered, though still unable to fly, it could at least stand steadily.

A faint green halo flowed over its body surface, and the young Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect suddenly flashed, instantly turning into a streak of green light that slashed open Shen Li’s palm and burrowed into her hand!

"Master!"

"Miss!"

Seeing this, the Snow Wolf King and Golden Toad were shocked, surging with Demon Essence but not daring to act rashly.

Shen Li frowned as well, watching a large amount of blood rapidly gush from the thin wound on her palm, her Divine Sense following the wound into her body.

There she saw the Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect dwelling in the flesh of her arm, slowly absorbing nutrients from her blood.

Meanwhile, a weak wave of Divine Spirit cautiously approached her Divine Sense.

Feeling this wave of Divine Spirit, Shen Li suddenly showed a smile on her face.

"Alright, then I’ll accept you."

A complex dark blue talisman appeared in her palm and then entered the body of the Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect through the wound.

After the talisman entered its body, a small green sword pattern slowly surfaced above Shen Li’s wrist of her fair little arm.

The sword was lifelike, looking as if it were a special decoration.

"Miss, are you alright?"
