Three years later, on Blue Star.
Chu Xuan gazed at the Blood Queen and the Blood Steel Wire, both in the process of cocooning, and a smile of satisfaction spread across his face.
The endless stream of insect cultivation methods provided by the cave world had indeed brought him quite a pleasant surprise. After all, these were the crystallized wisdom of countless insect masters over millennia from an entire world.
Wisdom, after all, should never be underestimated. It was as if he were standing on the shoulders of countless others. With such a foundation, if he had not made significant strides, it would truly be a disservice to the Myriad Realms Mirror.
"Now, with this advancement, both the Blood Queen and the Blood Steel Wire will step into the ranks of the Fourth Transmutation Gu Insects. I can't wait to see their new forms."
Chu Xuan nodded slightly.
The Blood Queen was the first to emerge from her cocoon. Her size had not changed much, but the golden patterns covering her body had increased significantly.
The more Chu Xuan looked at her, the more she resembled a smaller version of the Sunfire Bee Queen. If nothing went wrong, the next time she advanced to the Fifth Transmutation Gu Insect level, she would likely fully return to her ancestral bloodline and become the Sunfire Bee Queen!
The Blood Queen's brood of blood bees had also been comprehensively enhanced.
A few days later, the Steel Wire followed closely, emerging from its cocoon. However, unlike the Blood Queen, who had slowly torn through her cocoon, the Blood Steel Wire violently shattered the blood cocoon and shot out like a black line. If not for Chu Xuan's keen eyesight, he might have missed its appearance entirely.
However, as soon as it shot out, due to its incredible speed, it instantly pierced through the surrounding walls. It should be noted that Chu Xuan's residence on Blue Star had already been heavily modified by his corpse puppets.
The walls were incredibly thick, and even the detonation of cluster bombs might not be able to breach them. Yet, the Blood Steel Wire had pierced through them effortlessly. This alone demonstrated the terrifying hardness of the creature.
Chu Xuan's face lit up with delight. He waved his hand, and the Blood Steel Wire, after crashing through several more walls, finally began to adjust to its new form.
It obediently returned to his hand. Upon closer inspection, the Blood Steel Wire had become exceedingly slender. It truly resembled a "steel wire."
Moreover, its body was incredibly flexible. Given Chu Xuan's current physical strength at the thirty-seventh level of body refinement, he could not harm it unless he used the Great Extinguishing Thunder Fist.
Chu Xuan clicked his tongue in amazement.
He could tell that the Steel Wire had now fully evolved into what was once called the "Mountain Steel." This meant that the Blood Steel Wire had successfully reverted to its ancestral form.
It was no longer the common, low-limited Blood Steel Wire from before, but an extremely rare Mountain Steel!
The Mountain Steel, even without symbiosis with a cultivator, could grow naturally in the wild and reach the Fifth Transmutation Gu Insect stage. That was comparable to a great cultivator undergoing Deity Transformation!
At that moment, the Blood Steel Wire transmitted a thought to him.
"Food, food. Hungry."
Chu Xuan smiled and immediately took out a low-grade magic treasure.
There were many cultivators who generously gifted him treasures without expecting anything in return. As a result, his storage bag had accumulated quite a few low-grade and middle-grade magic treasures that he had no use for. As for magic tools, there were even more.

The Mountain Steel, this type of Gu insect, did not favor blood food. Instead, it preferred rare minerals, magic treasures, and magic tools.
Sure enough, when Chu Xuan handed over a low-grade magic treasure, Gangsi pounced on it like a famished man who had just seen meat, immediately devouring it.
All Chu Xuan could hear were the continuous crack-crack sounds. In the blink of an eye, the once-glimmering low-grade magic treasure was covered in holes, as if it had been gnawed by countless insects.
Chu Xuan smiled slightly, "Take your time. No one's going to steal it from you."
Only then did it slow down its feeding.
