"This one with golden spots is a diamond insect. Its body is extremely hard. Even if it is struck by spiritual treasures, it cannot be damaged at all."
"The other kind of five-color glow is shrouded in evil silkworms, which are good at devouring silkworms. The evil spirit has the strongest vitality. It can be said to be immortal. Even if it is cut into pieces, it can be restored to its original state in an instant."
"To. The bloody mantis-like spirit insect is actually the famous 'ghost mantis'."
"Although they don't look very powerful, they are group spirit insects."
"And. It is the most brutal kind among these spiritual insects. It can swallow an entire dragon at one time. Once its ferocity becomes fierce, even I will have a headache..."
The old man pointed at the spiritual insects in front of him with his finger and introduced them one by one like a treasure trove.
As expected, these spirit insects are all rare species that are rarely seen in the spirit world. Some of them are even the first time for Lin Mo to hear about them.
What’s even more rare is that these spiritual insects have obviously been cultivated and matured.
Once they recognize their master again, they can immediately be driven to deal with the enemy, which is a huge help out of thin air.
“How about it, how many kinds of these spiritual insects have you seen before.”
"Boy Lin, I will make an exception and allow you to exchange a bottle of spiritual milk for one of the spiritual insects. You should be satisfied with this price."
"If you don't agree again, and you don't give me any satisfaction either The reason is, but don’t blame me for being rude."
While Lin Mo was dazzled, the old man Xu Ling said to him slowly.
After hearing this, Lin Mo's muscles on his face jumped wildly, and he couldn't help but glance at Qing Yuanzi.
"Little friend Lin, let Brother Xu Ling take a look at your spirit worm. After he sees it, he should understand."
After Qing Yuanzi pondered for a moment, he said to Lin Mo solemnly.
“Yes, senior!”
Even though Lin Mo was reluctant, under the current situation.
Unable to refuse this request, he immediately shook his sleeves, a buzzing sound came from it, and then a dozen thumb-sized golden flowers flew out from it.
The moment these golden flowers flew out, a flash of inspiration occurred.
His body instantly increased several times, turning into a golden beetle the size of a fist. Under the golden light, it seemed to be made of pure gold.
"Gold-eating beetles! Still mature!"
Jin Yanhou couldn't help shouting, his eyes fixed on these dozen golden beetles, his face full of shock color.
The body of the old man Xu Ling was also shaken. Looking at these dozen gold-eating insects, the expression on his face suddenly became extremely weird.
Qing Yuanzi frowned slightly when he saw the old man's expression. The other party's reaction seemed to be a little different from what he expected!
Although he secretly felt a little strange in his heart, Qing Yuanzi still said calmly:
"With Brother Xuling's knowledge, it is impossible not to recognize the gold-eating insect. I think fellow Taoist have to admit that this The reputation of insects is higher than that of these spiritual insects."
"So Xiaoyou Lin really has nothing in terms of spiritual insects. This exchange is not necessary because I want to offend you.”
“Of course, if Brother Xu Ling can come up with a spiritual insect that is better than the gold-eating insect, Jiang will never say more. That's nonsense."
"Better spiritual insect! Mature gold-eating insect, good, very good, haha..."
To everyone's surprise, after the old man Xu Ling looked at the gold-eating insects, he said "good" several times, and then he raised his head and laughed wildly.
The laughter was filled with ecstasy.
Lin Mo couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this scene.
Qing Yuanzi stared at the old man, seeming to recall something, and frowned slightly. .
Jin Yanhou’s eyes flashed and he looked at Lin Mo with a somewhat complicated expression.
"Brother Xu Ling, you..."
"Brother Jiang, there is no need to say anything. I want you and Mr. Lin to meet another kind of spiritual insect that I never show anyone."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man suddenly waved his sleeves, and the hundreds of spiritual insects were immediately swept up by the black energy on the surface of his body, and disappeared into his body one after another, disappearing without a trace.
Then he opened his mouth and spit out a silver gourd. The gourd spun around, then suddenly turned upside down and opened the lid.
There was also a buzzing sound, and a cloud spewed out from it, and disintegrated under the flash of spiritual light, turning into dots of golden light, suspended in the sky above the hall.
"Impossible"
"Is this?"
Jin Yanhou and Qing Yuanzi shouted almost at the same time as soon as they saw Jin Yun's true face.
Lin Mo couldn't help but be completely stunned when he looked at the dots of golden light in the sky.
Wrapped in those golden lights, there were also golden beetles. They looked exactly like Lin Mo's gold-eating beetles. They were equally ferocious and buzzing.
"Senior actually has gold-eating insects, and they are also mature."
After a while, Lin Mo suppressed the fear in his heart, took a long breath, and murmured to himself.
“Yes, even I have forgotten how many years ago these gold-eating bugs were cultivated. It was not until hundreds of years ago that they were finally able to advance to mature form. You can imagine the amount of effort it took. Got it.”
“The reason why I came here to ask for so much Styx Spirit Milk was to use it on this insect.”
The old man said calmly. .
"The Styx Spiritual Milk is also useful against gold-eating insects?" Lin Mo's heart moved and he asked subconsciously.
“Its effect can be described as useful or useless, the specific situation depends entirely on the will of the insect master!”
Xu Ling changed from a cold-faced person to a cheerful one, and responded with a smile.
“What’s in your mind?” Lin Mo’s eyes lit up, showing a trace of doubt.
"Indeed, if fellow Taoist only wish to cultivate mature spiritual insects, then the Styx Spiritual Milk will indeed no longer have any effect on such spiritual insects."
"However, if you want to improve your realm, this medicine is essential."
The old man explained sharply.
"Improvement of realm?"
Lin Mo seemed to understand, with a look of shock on his face.
"Exactly! I will explain the details to you later."
"I never expected that there would be a mature gold-eating insect in the hands of fellow Taoist. From this point of view, the issue of the ownership of the Styx Spiritual Milk is irrelevant."
"I want to make a secret deal with fellow Taoist. However, This matter is quite confidential and can only be discussed in private. "
"Fellow Taoist Jin Yan and fellow Taoist Qing Yuanzi, do you have any objection to this?"
Old man Xu Ling first exchanged a few words with Lin Mo in a friendly manner, and then turned to Qing Yuanzi's tone became as calm as water.
Although his expression seemed calm, his words revealed an unquestionable meaning.
"As long as fellow Taoist is not forcing the sale, I will naturally have no objection."
Qing Yuanzi caught a glimpse of the cold light in the old man's eyes, couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and replied respectfully. "I will not object either! Brother Xu Ling, please do as you please."
Jin Yanhou agreed with a smile.
"That's very good. Then I will resign first!"
The old man Xu Ling was obviously satisfied with the answers of the two men, so he nodded slightly, and then spit out a ball of black light from his mouth, and an exquisite attic half a foot high appeared.
This attic is completely black in color, with runes of various colors carved on the surface, complex and dense, and surrounded by a layer of light black mist.
Looks extremely mysterious!
"Fellow Daoist Lin, please bring your gold-eating bug and follow me to the Black Wind Pavilion to gather together."
The old man formed a seal with his hands, making the attic become about ten feet in size, and then turned his head Said to Lin Mo.
Afterwards, regardless of Lin Mo's consent, he waved his sleeves and put his gold-eating bug into it. He quickly shrunk to a height of only an inch, turned into a black shadow, and disappeared into the attic.
"Two seniors, the junior also needs to leave temporarily."
Although Lin Mo was frightened, he knew that he could not escape, so he had to smile awkwardly at Qing Yuanzi and said.
"Well, Fellow Daoist Lin can go there with peace of mind."
"Since Brother Xu Ling has made a promise before, he will naturally not do anything that is degrading to his dignity. However, if the conditions are not It’s too harsh, it’s better for Taoist friends to agree.”
Qing Yuanzi frowned slightly and gave a few reminders.
"Thank you, Senior Jiang, for your advice. I understand what to do."
Lin Mo responded in a low voice, taking the more than ten golden beetles in front of him into his bag and turning them into a bunch of blue silk. Shoot into the door.
The moment Lin Mo also stepped into the attic, the entire attic suddenly surged with black air, cutting off all connections with the outside world.
"Brother Jiang, are you really not worried? Although this old man has a weird temperament, his magical powers cannot be ignored."
"If he is harmful to fellow Taoist Lin in the attic, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop him in time."
Jin Yanhou opened his lips slightly and whispered the message to Qing Yuanzi.
“Fellow Jin Yan’s concerns are understandable. The old monster’s behavior is indeed quite tyrannical, but since we made friends with him, he has never done anything treacherous.”
"This should be reassuring. Moreover, the reason why I help Xiaoyou Lin is, on the one hand, because I owe him a lot of kindness."
"On the other hand, I also hope that in Take care of him as much as you can.”
"As for angering that old monster, I don't intend to do that. Because in that case, I'm worried that I will have nowhere to live in the Land of the Styx."
Qing Yuanzi responded calmly.
"Well, this statement makes sense. The old monster is very powerful. Maybe he is sure to protect himself even when facing the real spirit. None of us can compare with him."
"However, why do you have such a strong reaction to a rare treasure like a gold-eating insect?"
"Since he himself has the same spiritual insect, then, Brother Jiang, can you deduce What’s the reason?”
After Jin Yanhou pondered for a moment, he suddenly raised this question.
"The poor monk has limited wisdom, how can he understand the inner world of that old monster. Maybe Lin Xiaoyou's gold-eating insect has its own use for him."
Qing Yuanzi's eyes flashed , yawned and said with profound meaning.
“Really?” The corner of Jin Yanhou’s mouth twitched, showing an expression that was half a smile.
Qing Yuanzi smiled slightly and stopped talking about this topic.
At this moment, in the high-rise hall of the black attic, Lin Mo, who had become smaller, was having an in-depth conversation with the old man.
"Little friend Lin, please sit down, my Black Wind Pavilion is actually a semi-finished space magic weapon."
"It can not only change the size at will, but also has the function of blocking all detection in the world. , absolutely no third party’s spiritual thoughts will be able to penetrate."
The old man sat swaggeringly on the main seat and said to Lin Mo with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, senior. You're welcome, junior."
Lin Mo saluted the old man with a respectful look on his face, and then sat down on a chair below.
“Before we start discussing this transaction, I want to confirm one thing first.”
“Little friend Lin, may I ask how many mature gold-eating bugs you have in your hand? Tell me an exact number?”
The old man couldn’t restrain his excitement and asked impatiently.
“The exact number…”
Upon hearing the old man's question, Lin Mo's expression changed obviously, and he looked very hesitant and confused.
"Oh, it seems that I asked too directly. The most powerful thing about gold-eating bugs is their number, so it is really not appropriate to reveal too much about the precise number."
"Let's do this. Xiaoyou Lin only needs to tell me whether your number of spiritual insects exceeds 5,000."
The old man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, and immediately changed the way he asked the question.
However, when Xu Ling raised this question, his eyes were obviously nervous.
Obviously, the answer Lin Mo gives will have a vital impact on him. ”
After careful consideration, Lin Mo chose to answer honestly.
Although he was more inclined to give a negative answer.
But if he cannot give it to the person in front of him, With the foreigner's satisfactory answer, God knows whether he will immediately turn against him, and even personally suppress him in order to confirm what he said.
After all, in the face of real power, those lies that have been boasted often appear to be false. Vulnerable.
"Five thousand gold-eating insects?"
Although he had a premonition deep in his heart, when he got the confirmation from the other party, Lin Mo's face was shocked and showed strong surprise.
“Your transaction request is too large and sincere. Although these five thousand adult gold-eating bugs are not all the bugs that I have carefully cultivated, they do account for a considerable proportion.”
“I want to look forward to the future After entering the Mahayana stage, use these gold-eating bugs as a trump card against the enemy."
"Although the rarity of these numerous adult gold-eating bugs shocks the world, as long as they are valuable, they can always be used. Exchange.”
"Putting aside other factors for the time being, among the types of bugs that I haven't taken out yet, there are two or more varieties that are not inferior to your gold-eating bugs."
"In addition, The value of the Xuantian remnant treasure is probably more than the total number of five thousand gold-eating insects."
The old man's smile gradually faded and he replied with a stern expression.
"According to my guess, those spirit insects that have not yet been displayed are all your natal spirit insects."
"As for the Xuantian remnant treasure, although I am quite tempted, it is Unable to make request"
"If you accept such rare treasures, I am afraid that you will encounter unpredictable disasters when you live with them in the future. Therefore, I would like to ask if you can tell me why so many gold-eating insects are needed." (End of this chapter)< br>
