Chapter 95: The Insect Demon and the Black Chou
"Tianxing City! Such a lively place, the place of my dreams when I was young! I never thought that today I, Xuan Gu, would come back here again, and many memories would come to my mind!"
Returning to Tianxing City, Master Xuan Gu sighed.
It brings back many past memories.
Bai Tian looked normal, and slowly transmitted his voice: "There are many Yuanying cultivators in Tianxing City, and many of them have great magical powers. I have fulfilled your wish, so you should return to the safety of the storage bag."
After saying that, he took off the Ten Thousand Ghosts Flag from his waist, put it into the storage bag and continued to move forward, passing through the city gate and returning to the cave he rented. He had too many secrets and would not let anyone find out. The storage bag could block the divine consciousness, so it was safer inside.
Moreover, important treasures were stored in the storage jade talisman, so even if Xuan Gu saw something in the storage bag, it was only a fine item, such as the Thousand Illusion Magic Crystal, the Hehuan Orb, and so on.
As for the top-quality treasures, they were all properly collected.
The first thing he did after entering the cave was to check if the golden-backed mantis had laid eggs, but there were none. A golden-backed mantis noticed that Daytime had appeared, and hurried over to make a friendly call. He fed it a few spirit stones and put the strange insect into the spirit beast bag.
The other one was lying quietly on the ground, looking like it was pregnant.
There is still some time before the eggs are laid, so during the day, sprinkle some spiritual stones around it and activate the formation to let it rest in peace. Then quickly walk to the golden thug's strange insect secret room and look at the sixteen golden insect eggs with joy.
He planned to hatch them, and then capture the monsters to train them with all his strength. The gold-eating bugs and the golden-clad thugs were especially important to train.
Without wasting any more time, he used the formation and blood essence to make the insect eggs recognize him as their master. A faint soul breath came over him. He carefully felt it during the day. Compared with the first time the strange insect recognized its master, this time the soul connection was stronger. He guessed that with the strengthening and deepening of the master recognition, the next generation nurtured by the Gem Road would be more loyal to its master.
Each generation becomes stronger than the previous generation!
This discovery made him delighted and he took the next step without hesitation.
During the day, he took out the spirit stone to summon the time panel and began to incubate the strange insect. It took more than ten thousand years to complete it successfully, and it recognized its master again with the help of the formation and blood essence.
Sixteen golden-clad thugs crawled slowly towards Bai Tian on the soft grass with their eyes closed. It was as if he was the parent of the strange insects and the warmest embrace when they were young. The strange insects climbed onto Bai Tian's cross-legged body, and lay quietly in Bai Tian's arms, occasionally chirping.
He ripened some spiritual herbs that were hundreds of years old, and used the secret technique of the Yuling Sect and spiritual spring water to refine them and put them into a large basin. More than a dozen strange insects flew over after smelling the scent, drank the water heartily, and then returned to Bai Tian's arms and lay motionless.
I don't want to disturb you during the day, so I'll take this opportunity to sit cross-legged and practice.
One month passed.
Then he advanced and strengthened the strange insects. He used a large number of spirit stones to form a circle and used time transfer to promote their development. After hundreds of thousands of spirit stones were smashed, all sixteen strange insects were promoted to the Golden Core Realm, but they had not been strengthened once.
He didn't have enough spirit stones, so he went to the market to sell some common goods, including three hundred year old spirit medicine. After a lot of hard work, he got another 200,000 spirit stones, and then cultivated more than a dozen strange insects to the middle stage of the golden elixir.
Next comes reinforcement.
All the spirit stones were used up, and the color was strengthened to dark gold, and the whole body emitted mysterious silver runes.
The mission was accomplished, and Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ten thousand sky-devouring insects? How many spirit stones would it take?!" Hundreds of thousands of spirit stones were thrown down, and Bai Tian felt incredible about the consumption of spirit stones. He thought the rumor was a bit deceptive. If he didn't have the time panel, ten thousand sky-devouring insects would be just a legend.
Unless one achieves true immortality, ordinary cultivators simply cannot afford to wait.
Fortunately, the results were encouraging, with sixteen new gem roads added, and the Insect Demon Road not only started, but also became extremely manic.
He left the cave, summoned the flying boat and traveled quickly, then stepped onto the teleportation array and returned to the bloody forbidden land.
"Leave the seeds of the strange insects. Don't put all your eggs in one basket to prevent any unexpected situations." Put the four golden thugs that were cultivated at the beginning into the strange insect secret room located in the forbidden area and preserve them as seeds.
Anything can happen on the path of cultivation, so you must try your best to be prepared.
In order to prevent the gems from escaping, the secret room was rebuilt during the day. The spiritual jade slabs that the Sky Devouring Insects disliked to gnaw on were used, and the thickness reached more than three feet. After the secret room was built, they were put in and then the order was issued.
"Stay here and practice, and do not leave without orders."
Use the soul to issue commands during the day.
"Squeak~ (Master, rest assured, we like it here.)"
The strange insect responded, Bai Tian nodded and did not leave immediately, but practiced in the forbidden area for ten years, and decided to practice the earth element magic. The earth element golden elixir must be condensed successfully, otherwise it would be a waste.
Ten years go by in a blink of an eye.
Coming to the strange insect secret room and taking a closer look, he discovered that the four gold-clad thugs had fallen into a deep sleep, absorbing spiritual energy and practicing slowly. They looked very quiet. He nodded in satisfaction.
Like humans, strange insects can live without food or water when they reach a high level of cultivation, as long as they have rich spiritual energy. Ordinary monsters can live for tens of thousands of years, and blood jade spiders can live for 70,000 to 80,000 years.
The lifespans of strange insects and beasts are even longer, some even reaching tens of millions of years, comparable to some true spirits! Some even have a longer lifespan than high-level true spirits. Of course, the prerequisite for a longer lifespan is that one must be at a higher realm.
After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, one can live for at least a hundred thousand years.
"There are more than 100,000 gold-eating bugs and many bug eggs to be taken to the Chaos Star Sea for advancement. With such a large number, we can definitely kill those in the early Nascent Soul stage!" Looking at a big golden sphere, Bai Tian was overjoyed.
He took out a brand new spirit beast bag and put away all the hatched gold-eating bugs, then left the blood forbidden land through a secret passage and successfully returned to the cave in Tianxing City. The golden-backed mantis had already laid eggs, also sixteen in total, which was the number of eggs laid by a strange bug.
As the number of golden-backed mantises increases dramatically, the number of eggs will be countless. But I don't plan to raise all of them during the day, because I can't afford the spiritual stones. If I let them absorb spiritual energy naturally, it may cause strange phenomena in the world and attract many monks to watch. So I bred four more during the day.
When necessary, you can transform into a strange insect merchant and exchange for the treasures you need.
There are a total of six golden-backed mantises.
After advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, he would breed two Dark Night Armors that could completely block spiritual consciousness, becoming a Dark Night Killer. He would kill everyone in the Demon Valley and be the first to break into the Lingmiao Garden.
"It's already the peak of the middle stage of the Golden Core! When the Xutian Palace opens, it should be possible to reach the late stage."
Collect all the strange insects and head towards the 50th floor of the giant mountain during the day. Prepare to go to the alien sea to kill monsters, cultivate strange insects to collect monsters' inner elixir, refine ancient elixirs for cultivation, and directly breed the young beasts you need when you catch them. It is best to capture the right monster, which saves a lot of time and spirit stones.
I have sold a batch of elixirs, and it is very dangerous to sell them frequently.
Or the monster materials are more suitable, the market supplies a lot every day, it is not easy to arouse suspicion. Even if someone finds out, what will happen?
Team hunting is no longer allowed?
So it’s easy to explain.
There are many teleportation arrays on the 50th floor of the Star Palace. Next to each teleportation array is a beautiful stone tablet that lists the places the teleportation array can reach. The Anti-Star Alliance has not yet appeared, so there are no major restrictions on going to the outer sea, but the teleportation fee is a bit high.
"Qiyuan Island!"
After finding the island in my memory, I decided to go to Qiyuan Island to kill monsters during the day. Seven people can be transferred each time, and the fee is calculated according to the number of times.
If you are wealthy, you can pass it on by yourself, but it will easily arouse suspicion.
Fortunately, Qiyuen Island is a popular place in the outer sea. Many cultivators go there to kill monsters. The middle and late stage foundation building cultivators are the main force, and occasionally there are Jindan cultivators who teleport there.
After waiting for a while during the day, three new teleporters finally arrived.
Just a quick glance.
A short, thin, dark-skinned young man with many black spots on his face was found. He was at the Jindan level. There were two people who looked like followers beside him, also at the Jindan level.
The three of them walked arrogantly to the teleportation array and looked at Bai Tian unscrupulously. They saw that he was full of pure magic power and his body was faintly glowing with an ochre color. A hint of ferocity flashed in the eyes of the short young man.
"Oh, if I'm not mistaken, isn't this Young Master Wu from Jiyin Island? Young Master Wu wants to go to Qiyuen Island?" The old man dressed in Xinggong clothes walked to the side of the short young man with a smile and said enthusiastically.
There was a hint of flattery in the air, which was a little unexpected during the day.
I thought to myself that it was indeed Wu Chou, and he looked like this.
Why is he here?
"No need to wait, I'll pay for all the expenses, just give me the teleportation talisman!" Wu Chou had a cold look on his face, ignoring the flattery of the Xinggong monks, his face full of arrogance.
Such indifference made the Star Palace monk next to him look unhappy, especially when he found that his companions seemed to be laughing at him, a hint of anger flashed across his face.
Without saying a word, he took out four transfer talismans and gave one to Bai Tian. He then ignored Wu Chou and waited for the four people to stand on it before starting the transfer formation with his companions.
"Boom~" sound.
A white light appeared and the four people disappeared instantly.
"Humph! You'd better die there."
The neglected Xinggong monk cursed inwardly.
When he reappeared, Bai Tian saw a stone house, and two Xinggong monks looked at the four people with a blank face. Wu Chou and his companions left quickly with gloomy faces, while Bai Tian walked out slowly.
Coming to the legendary alien sea, I naturally took a detailed look at it.
With a sweep of his powerful divine sense, he discovered that all the houses around him were built with black stones. He knew it was the famous Black Stone City without anyone introducing it. The place he was in was in the center of a small city, surrounded by rows of low stone houses, and almost all of them were connected together.
The overall color of the city is mainly black.
His spiritual consciousness flew up into the sky and looked down from above. He saw that although Black Stone City was inconspicuous, its layout was quite interesting.
Although it looks like it was built in a haphazard manner, it actually has very strong resistance to huge sea storms. Because it is low and connected, it can effectively resist the storm.
He walked into a simple roadside shop and spent two spirit stones to buy a map.
After learning about the surrounding sea area, they quickly found a suitable place to kill monsters, the Mist Island far away from Black Stone City. It was a holy place for killing monsters, so they made a preliminary plan to go there.
However, at this moment, Bai Tian saw Wu Chou leading a group of people flying rapidly in a certain direction.
Suddenly my heart moved.
There aren't many things that would make the young master of Jiyin Island go out in person, so he decided to go and take a look.
