"After I understand the reason, I will decide whether to agree to the transaction."
"At the same time, I am also full of doubts in my heart. These gold-eating insects have already become my partners and have taken care of them for many years. Even if you ask for them, you may not be able to accept them." Used in combat. "
"The precise requirement for the number - the number of five thousand is even more puzzling."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Mo seemed to be thinking about it. He spoke slowly in a tone of great difficulty.
“Hmph, your courage is really admirable, and you dare to ask me about my intentions!”
The old man Xu Ling snorted coldly, his eyebrows suddenly raised, and his face instantly became as cold as frost.
"Please forgive me! After all, these gold-eating bugs have been carefully cultivated for many years. I have put in countless efforts and regard them as life."
"If I don't know clearly the specific purpose of your request for them, , I’m afraid it will be difficult to hand it over to others easily.”
This time, Lin Mo firmly stated his position.
"Haha, your point of view is quite reasonable. Then, I will tell you the general purpose of asking for these gold-eating insects."
"However, once you know the reason, you must not refuse this transaction. Otherwise..."
After the eyes of the old man Xu Ling flickered for a moment, he smiled again and replied.
"Okay, I'm willing to promise."
After hesitating for a long time, Lin Mo finally took a deep breath and responded solemnly.
"Haha, Xiaoyou Lin, this is a wise decision! Please listen carefully, the reason why I ask for these gold-eating bugs is to cultivate the legendary gold-eating bug king."
"The key to achieving this goal is a large number of adult gold-eating bugs."
"As for why five thousand are needed, it is because I already have five thousand adult gold-eating bugs in my hands. Two The sum of them is enough to meet my needs for cultivating the Insect King."
"The excess is not of much significance to me."
The old man finally gave Lin Mo a command. Reasons to be shocked.
"Insect King! Then your purpose of collecting Styx Spiritual Milk before..."
Lin Mo's expression suddenly changed and he couldn't help but ask again.
“A large amount of Styx Spiritual Milk is also one of the important means to cultivate the insect king. However, if there are a sufficient number of adult gold-eating insects, this condition becomes irrelevant.”
The old man Xu Ling replied without hesitation.
"I see, it seems that the cultivation of this insect king probably requires a large number of gold-eating insects to eat each other to produce it." Lin Mo said with a flash of his eyes and a thoughtful look on his face.
“My little friend is really smart. Although it’s not completely correct, it’s almost the same.”
"But about the Gold-Eating Insect King, except for a few supreme elders of our Mayfly Clan, very few outsiders know about it."
"Just now, my little friend told me about the Insect King. It’s not surprising at all, it seems that I already knew something about it.”
"Qing Yuanzi should be the one who told you this. He is the only one who has a good relationship with another Supreme Elder in our clan, so he can know something about it."
Xu Ling The old man first praised, then sneered and said.
Lin Mo lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment, as if he was considering his words, and then slowly asked:
"This junior has indeed heard from Senior Jiang once. It is rumored that once the Gold-Eating Insect King reaches the state of great accomplishment, even the true immortals in the immortal world will be afraid of him and will not be able to retreat. Is this true... but is it true?"< br>
“Haha, although this is a slight exaggeration But the power of this Gold-eating Insect King cannot be underestimated. It is extremely powerful.”
“At least if I run into it, I definitely don’t want to confront it head-on.”
< br>The old man Xu Ling responded leisurely with a slight smile on his lips.
“That’s it, I’ve learned a lesson.”
Lin Mo nodded lightly, then turned his eyes, suddenly changed the subject and asked again:
"However, the junior is curious. If the senior gets the spirit worm in the junior's hands, he can probably be somewhat confident about cultivating it. Where is the adult insect king? "
"How sure are you? "
The old man Xu Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression became a little more solemn, and he pondered for a long time before slowly reaching out to Lin Mo. Two fingers.
“Only 20%?”
Lin Mo's face changed slightly in an instant, and his tone became heavier unconsciously:
"The chance of success is really not high."
"Humph!"
Old man His expression darkened, and he snorted coldly:
“Didn’t my little friend underestimate this gold-eating insect king?”
"Twenty percent certainty. That's the confidence I can barely have after studying the art of breeding insects for many years. I have also prepared many backup plans and tried my best."
"If anyone else had a 10% chance of winning, You can’t even catch it!”
“Okay, you’ve asked all the questions you should ask, even you This question goes beyond our previous agreement. "
"Next, it's your turn to fulfill your promise. If you have any conditions, you can speak up now."
"The younger generation has no intention of looking down on the seniors, and hopes that the seniors will show their respect."
"Now that the deal has been agreed, the junior will naturally abide by the agreement. As for the terms of exchange, the junior has already made up his mind, there are only two."
Lin Mo seemed to have a plan in his mind. Seeing what the old man Xu Ling said, he immediately He responded without thinking.
"Which two? Let's talk about it." The old man's expression softened slightly, and he nodded slightly to indicate to Lin Mo to continue.
Lin Mo looked solemn and stated one by one:
"First, I don't ask for other rare treasures from my seniors. I only hope that my seniors can give me more Styx Spiritual Milk."
"Senior also said just now that after you have enough gold-eating insects on hand, this spiritual milk is no longer of much use to you. I think this request is not difficult for senior."
" Secondly, I have been studying the art of breeding insects for some time, and I still have some gold-eating insects on hand, so I thought I would give it a try and cultivate the insect king."
"Although I have to do it again. gather enough I don’t know if the gold-eating insect will have to wait until the year of the monkey.”
“But I always want to take a chance, so I want to ask the senior for a complete secret of cultivating the gold-eating insect king.”
After hearing what Lin Mo said, the smiling face of the old man Xu Ling shrank suddenly, and the smile on his face instantly dissipated, replaced by solemnity and contemplation, and he fell into a long silence for a while.
"The first condition is easy to say."
"Although it is impossible for me to pour out all the spiritual milk in my hand, I can still make four or five bottles. But the second condition is It’s much more difficult.”
After a long while, the old man frowned slightly and said slowly:
“The insect king cultivates secret skills, but I am not the best. Many of the elders in the clan may not be able to see the whole secret of the Fei clan. It is really against the rules to reveal it to an outsider."
"It is indeed a bit troublesome, but this junior. I believe that with the means and courage of the seniors, it can still be done, right?" Lin Mo raised his lips and showed a calm smile:
"Besides, the senior also understands in his heart that compared to rare things such as your natal spiritual insect and the Xuantian remnant treasure, the conditions proposed by the junior are really worth mentioning and insignificant."
< br>
“Hey Hey, what you said is really insightful.”
The old man Xu Ling nodded slightly, and the smile on his face grew:
“That’s it, I will agree to your terms. .”
"However, the secret technique of cultivating the Insect King is of great importance. You need to make a poisonous oath with your inner demon in front of me, swearing that you will never leak this secret technique to the second person."
"Little At your current level of cultivation, the power of restraining inner demons cannot be underestimated. Once you violate your oath, you will most likely perish when you go through the catastrophe."
< br>"If you agree to do this, I can make the decision and teach you the secret technique."
"No problem, this is the right thing to do, I am willing to swear this oath!"
Hearing this, Lin Mo was overjoyed. He immediately looked stern, mobilized the power of his inner demons, and made a vicious oath that was so perfect that even the old man Xu Ling could not find any flaws.
"Okay! In that case, let's start the transaction."
The old man stroked his beard with satisfaction, flicked his long sleeves, and in an instant, five emerald green vials flashed out like meteors chasing the moon, heading straight towards Fly away with Lin Mo.
Lin Mo looked solemn, raised his hand and grabbed it, holding the five vials firmly in his hand.
Immediately afterwards, he opened the bottle caps one by one and scanned them carefully with his spiritual mind. Immediately, an imperceptible joy appeared in his eyes.
"Senior, there are five thousand mature gold-eating insects here. Please check them, too."
As Lin Mo spoke, he took out a spirit beast ring from his sleeve. With a flick of his wrist, the spirit beast ring drew an arc in the air and was thrown steadily towards the old man.
The old man Xu Ling rolled up his long sleeves, and as if a suction force came out of thin air, he gently put the ring into his palm.
He did not rush to open the spirit beast ring, but stretched out a few slender fingers and slowly pressed them on the ring. His eyes were slightly closed, and his thoughts were like a spiritual snake coming out of its hole, quietly Invade silently.
After a while, the old man couldn't hide the excitement on his face, opened his eyes and praised:
"Yes, they are all mature gold-eating bugs of good quality, and the level of cultivation is better than I expected. It’s even better, very good!”
"My little friend, you must keep this jade slip properly and never let others see it."
After saying this, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, and a light flashed through his sleeves, and a jade slip appeared like a Pulled by invisible hands, it hovered above Lin Mo's head in a few blinks.
"The younger generation must keep this in mind."
Lin Mo also flashed with joy, with a respectful tone. He raised his hand to firmly grasp the jade slip in his palm, and then gently placed it on his forehead. One release.
In an instant, the densely packed ancient texts and vivid pictures in the jade slips flooded into his mind like a tide.
The old man Xu Ling put the spirit beast ring filled with gold-eating insects into his bag and felt completely at ease.
His eyes turned to Lin Mo, half-smiling but not smiling, and more and more revealing, as if there were endless novelties hidden in Lin Mo, which aroused his high interest.
I don’t know how long it took, Lin Mo’s expression changed, he slowly moved the jade slip away from his forehead, and took back all the scattered spiritual thoughts.
"How's it going? There's nothing wrong with the secret technique I gave you, right?"
The old man asked leisurely with a slight smile on his lips.
"How dare I, this junior, have such thoughts! The secret technique of breeding insects taught by my senior is exquisite and mysterious. It has answered many of my past doubts and really enlightened my junior."
Lin Mo carefully put away the jade slip and put it away. in his sleeves, and then respectfully replied.
"Oh? But you can understand it at a glance. It can be seen that this little friend has great attainments in the art of deworming."
The old man Xu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes. There was a hint of surprise, and then he persuaded her with earnest words. Said:
"But I still have to mention one more thing. Although the gold-eating insect king is extremely powerful, to successfully cultivate it, both opportunity and hard work are indispensable. You still need to do what you can. .”
"Thank you, senior, for your advice. I will act accordingly."
Lin Mo looked solemn and thanked him.
"Well, it's good that you understand. Now that the transaction is completed, you can leave the Black Wind Pavilion first. I will go out later. Don't keep the two fellow Taoists Jin Yan waiting."
The old man looked calm and ordered calmly.
“Yes, I will retire first.”
Lin Moli carefully bowed and saluted again, and then the spiritual power surged around his body and turned into a brilliant blue rainbow, which instantly passed through the hall and disappeared in the billowing black air outside in the blink of an eye.
"Hey, gold-eating insect king? How dare a mere fusion monk have such an idea."
When Lin Mo Dunguang completely disappeared, the corner of the Xu Ling old man's mouth raised a sneer, He murmured to himself in a low voice:
“If it were so easy to cultivate an existence comparable to a true immortal, I would How could the Weasel Clan not be able to dominate the spiritual world so far? This family has mastered this secret technique of breeding insects for many years, but no one has really succeeded."
"It's a pity that a few bottles of spiritual milk are there. With so many gold-eating insects, I think it’s almost certain that I can refine the All-Soul Umbrella used to overcome the tribulation.”
"The mature gold-eating insect is almost indestructible. The All-Soul Umbrella made from it will definitely be indestructible. It will give you a better chance of winning if you survive the catastrophe of ascension."
Thinking of this , the old man of Void Spirit turned over with one hand, and with a flash of light in his palm, the spirit beast ring containing the gold-eating insect appeared again.
The old man's eyes narrowed, he made a secret with one hand, and tapped the ring lightly with his fingertips.
In an instant, a spiritual light burst out, and then, a black cloud as thick as ink surged out.
Rolling up the ring, in an instant, the entire spirit beast ring turned into a piece of black ice exuding biting cold air.
There were two soft sounds of "papa", and the old man's other palm flashed with light, and several bright blue talismans fluttered like butterflies, firmly attached to the black ice.
After doing all this, the old man's expression completely relaxed and he carefully put Xuan Bing away.
......
Half an hour later, two dazzling rainbows, one golden and one green, shot out from the white light curtain of the island like shooting stars, circling in the air. Look for it. In a certain direction, it suddenly burst through the air.
In the escaping light, there are Lin Mo and Qing Yuanzi.
After Lin Mo and the old man Xu Ling stepped out of the Black Wind Pavilion one after another, whether it was a tacit understanding or another tacit understanding, no one from Jin Yanhou or Qing Yuanzi interfered with the transaction between Lin Mo and Xu Ling.
Everyone sat around, chatting about trivial matters, and tasted the top-quality spiritual wine brewed by Jin Yanhou himself, and then stood up to leave one after another.
On the way, Lin Mo and Qing Yuanzi didn’t communicate much, and they shot straight towards Qing Yuanzi’s cave.
More than ten days later, Lin Mo saw the familiar towering peak in the distance, and felt a long-lost sense of intimacy in his heart.
At this moment, Qing Yuanzi suddenly paused and hovered in mid-air. Lin Mo was startled and subconsciously stopped.
"Little friend Lin, you must have got what you wanted from this trip, and even gained something else. I have returned your favor." (End of Chapter)
