Chapter 74 Arrangements and Gold-Eating Bugs
After leaving Taizhenmen Market, I rushed to the ancient teleportation array of Yue State during the day and went to Chaos Star Sea to do some things in advance.
For example, buying a courtyard on Kuixing Island, looking for gold-eating bugs, etc. Since Xin Ruyin and the others were mortals, the courtyard was easy to find, but the gold-eating bugs might be a little more troublesome.
When I returned to the territory of Yue State, I saw more and more demon monks, especially those from Lingshou Mountain. It was obvious that what the Nascent Soul said was right. Half of the territory of Yue State will belong to Lingshou Mountain, and the future development should be very fast.
Fortunately, he killed a group of Spirit Beast Mountain elites during the day, and he wouldn't mind killing more when he opens the Blood Forbidden Land next time. Besides, there are no good things in it, only spirit beast traps.
We flew all the way and arrived at our destination safely during the day.
He used his spiritual sense and vision to observe carefully and confirmed that there was no sign of intrusion. He opened the entrance during the day and disappeared outside. The two blood jade spiders sensed the master's breath and hurried over to greet him. They kept chirping and jumping high, showing great enthusiasm.
After feeding them a few spirit stones, the two spiders calmed down.
Through the analysis of Han Lao Mo's previous experience, it is enough for the teleportation array here to be guarded by the formation. In fact, there is no need for two strange insects to guard it for a long time. When returning, they can be put away and returned to the core of the forbidden area for rapid cultivation. Check the formation again to make sure there is no problem.
After making up his mind, he took out the middle-grade spirit stones and installed them one by one.
After a moment, the teleportation array emitted a strong white light, and the two spiders retreated hurriedly. Bai Tian stood in the center with the Great Teleportation Order in hand, and heard a "boom" sound, and the whole person disappeared directly into the teleportation array.
When he appeared again, he found that the surroundings were very dark. He took out two golden-backed mantises for protection, took out the prepared lighting crystals from the storage bag, and used his spiritual sense to quickly embed them into the stone wall.
The black space gradually becomes brighter, and you can see everything around you clearly during the day.
He found that he was still standing in the teleportation array, surrounded by bare stone walls and a relatively large space.
There is a circle of black stone gullies surrounding the teleportation array. Water that seeps through the stone walls gathers in the gully and flows out through a tiny crack in the stone. The sound of dripping water can be heard from time to time.
Take in your surroundings and start walking outside during the day.
Next is a long stone staircase, and at the end there is a large stone blocking the door.
A thought occurred during the day.
A golden-backed mantis came forward and turned the stones into gravel like chopping melons and vegetables. In an instant, salty and humid air rushed in. Standing at the entrance of the cave and looking around during the day, there were white clouds in the sky and a vast blue sky below, which belonged to the endless sea.
The rumbling sound of huge waves was endless, and the waves crashed against the shore.
Set up the prepared formation and proceed to the next step.
"Let's go west!"
Bai Tian said as he jumped onto the golden-backed mantis, which was the size of a yellow cow, and ordered it to fly towards where the sun was setting. The strange insect was very happy, flapping its wings and soaring into the sky, speeding at a speed that was no less than that of a top-grade flying magic weapon.
After several rounds of strengthening after the foundation building, the golden-backed mantis seemed unable to grow any further, and had to wait until it reached the golden elixir strength. A seagull on an unknown island stared at a black stream of light in the sky, which drew a black crack in the sky and quickly disappeared at the end of the horizon.
After flying for a while, Bai Tian used his doubled powerful spiritual sense to take a quick look and saw a large ship dozens of miles away, being pulled forward by many strange sea fish. It had no sails or anything like that, and it was exactly the same as what he had heard.
He put away the golden-backed mantis and flew by relying on his magic power, quickly closing the distance with the giant boat.
Many crew members were dozing off out of boredom.
Bai Tian's sudden appearance instantly attracted the attention of the crew members on duty, who rushed to the side of the ship to greet him warmly. Before long, Bai Tian became the most senior person on the giant ship.
Coincidentally, the ship owner also had the surname Gu, and had a subordinate named Wang Changqing. It was unknown whether the competition had been held, but he was not interested. There were only two goals: a temporary courtyard and gold-eating bugs.
After successfully forming the Dan, skip over other islands and go directly to Tianxing City.
Tianxing City has more spiritual energy and is safe and secure. Living there will be helpful for low-level cultivators in their early stages of cultivation.
After some conversation, Boss Gu had invited other immortal masters to compete, and they also won, so they were able to continue doing business on Kuixing Island and keep their former industries. It seems that this person has some luck and can win without Han Tianzun's help.
After sailing for a while, many huge boats appeared coming and going in front of Bai Tian. Some so-called immortal masters were guarding the dock. Feeling the breath of Bai Tian, they immediately used their eyes and spiritual sense to scan.
I discovered that he was at the Qi Refining stage, but then I didn’t pay much attention to it.
"If the Immortal Master does not mind, our Gu family can also provide a beautiful courtyard. It is inexpensive and the long-term rental price is even lower." Boss Gu said respectfully to Bai Tian, wanting to make friends with more Immortal Masters. Bai Tian had no objection to this.
High-quality cave dwellings for cultivators are hard to find, but they can be supplied in large quantities in mortal courtyards, requiring only a small amount of spirit stones.
I carefully asked about the price during the day, and found out it was only one spirit stone per month, which made me very satisfied.
After getting ashore, Boss Gu and Wang Changqing took Bai Tian to see the courtyard and found that it was located on a small hill. There was almost no spiritual energy, but the scenery was beautiful and pleasant.
You can see the blue sea in the distance when you go out, which is very suitable for Xin Ruyin to recuperate.
Thinking that Xin Ruyin was very smart, he didn't have to worry about safety living here with Xiaomei, and could return to the forbidden area to meditate and form the elixir with peace of mind. The spiritual energy on Kuixing Island was not good, so the secret realm was the best.
After checking it out in person, I felt it was good and both parties completed the transaction smoothly.
There is no need for any formalities for short-term stays, and there will be no obstacles for one or two mortals to come, just don't cause trouble. There is a town on the island. During the day, choose the one that serves monks and enter.
"I need a map of the sea area. The more detailed the better."
He stated his needs without hesitation and said he needed a map.
There are many islands in the Chaos Star Sea, and only with a map can one get better guidance, but the clerk's answer surprised him.
"Sir, we only have one item with a bad origin, but the map is very detailed. Do you need it?" A big man whispered. It looked like stolen goods or had a bad origin. It might be a little special and could not be copied. Only the original could be sold.
I prefer to buy original items during the day. "Sure!"
He nodded.
After hearing this, the big man hurried into the inner room, took out a box and placed it on the counter.
"The treasure cannot be previewed, one hundred spirit stones!"
The big man didn't waste time and directly asked for a high price of 100 spirit stones. Something that usually costs one or two spirit stones was actually worth dozens or even hundreds of times more. He wanted to see what was so magical about it.
After taking out a hundred spirit stones, the big man handed the ordinary wooden box to Bai Tian.
The young man looked at it curiously at the first sight, with surprise in his eyes.
"Sir, the map is absolutely worth it. It contains many records of places to capture sea beasts, and a map of the entire Inner Star Sea, as well as the distribution of forces. It may be that an elder of the Sixth Palace has met with an accident!"
The big man explained mysteriously.
Hearing the words "Liulian Temple", Bai Tian couldn't help but think of the infant carp beast. He left the shop without comment and went to an empty corner to carefully check. He soon found the location of Xiaohuan Island. When his eyes fell on the light spot of Xiaohuan Island, the jade slip actually showed detailed information. It turned out to be a special magic weapon, worth 100 spirit stones.
"Is Xiaohuan Island so poor? There are only so few people."
Read the introduction in detail, Bai Tian muttered.
At nightfall, I came to the beach and stepped on the golden-backed mantis, gathering my breath and flying towards Xiaohuan Island to carry out the second task, taking away the gold-eating insect. The golden-backed mantis's ability to shield the cultivator's consciousness became more and more significant. The cultivator's consciousness fell on it and thought it was just a small spiritual bird, and would not generate much interest.
If he continues to strengthen himself, he might really become a night killer.
"There is a formation!"
He reached this island of about seventy or eighty miles at the fastest speed and felt the aura of the formation during the day. This was not a problem for him at all. He could only defend against sea beasts, not the gem road.
A golden insect the size of a wooden basin appeared. Sensing the hidden aura of its owner, the insect made no sound. Its two hard, fist-sized eyeballs turned and it automatically flew to a place and landed.
Then it opened its mouth and started chewing. A big hole appeared in the barrier of the formation, which was about three feet thick. The curious insects entered directly during the day, coming uninvited.
He opened the jade pendant left by the ancient monks, hid his aura and saw two or three hundred feet high peaks, one high and one low. He ordered the golden-backed mantis to dig a hole at the foot of the mountain. When the depth was sufficient, he set up an illusion array and a fine array to shield the divine consciousness.
Wait until the golden-backed mantis digs deep.
Release the low-level insect nemesis, the Blood Jade Spider, during the day.
I don't know where the gold-eating bugs are hiding, so I can only let their enemies try and see if they can sense the smell of food. After all, after the Jewel Road and the Golden Mantis have been strengthened many times, they have both gained additional special magical powers, so spiders should not be mediocre.
"Squeak~"
As soon as the two spiders appeared, they made affectionate calls to Bai Tian, thinking that their owner wanted to play with them.
"Can you sense the presence of other bugs?"
During the day, I signaled them to be serious and do their business first.
The two blood jade spiders received instructions from their owner and ran around in the cave hurriedly. Not long after, they finally responded.
"Squeak~ (Master, there are bugs.)"
A blood jade spider communicated with Bai Tian through its spirit, indicating that there were delicious foods hidden under the tall mountain. They had already smelled the food and wanted to eat it now.
I was very happy during the day after confirming that the effect was significant.
He only remembered that it was only after a while that Han Lao Mo discovered the insects in the cave, and he did not find them intentionally.
He spent half a day doing it himself, using a flying sword to dig quickly with the help of a strange insect.
About half an hour later, they dug to an empty place. A trace of pure and rich spiritual energy came, and several insects emitting golden light suddenly appeared.
After planning for so long, I finally got what I wanted.
"do not move!"
When I found two spiders were about to spit out silk to catch them, I stopped them immediately during the day.
He stretched out his hand and used his magic power to suck in the air. A small gray-white wind column appeared and drilled into the underground cave like a green dragon sucking water, and swept all the gold-eating insects into his hand.
He withdrew his magic power and observed carefully, and saw that the gold-eating bugs looked extremely ferocious, with sharp mouths that seemed to be able to bite through everything. He immediately put away the golden-backed mantis and spiders, set up the formation and started to recognize their master.
Because they are not insect eggs, driving them consumes more spiritual energy.
These ones are only cultivated but not strengthened. After using the demon-luring grass to make them lay eggs, they will be vigorously cultivated and hatched. This will improve their IQ and ensure intimacy.
In battle, less spiritual awareness is consumed.
The simple ceremony of recognizing the master was completed, and a hint of satisfaction appeared on Bai Tian’s face.
With the gold-eating bugs, we are one step closer to the violent insect demon.
Thanks: Son of the Ocean, the big guy cast the monthly ticket, thank you all for your recommendation votes.
