Chapter 153 Spiritual Liquid Feeding Insects
"The monks in the Refining Realm are definitely at the top of the Lin family. The 'old guys' he refers to are..."
Lu Cheng He has a lot of entanglements with the Lin family of Ranmu Mountain. He has several of the most core inheritance classics of Ranmu Mountain: "The Great Technique of Seizing Heaven and Transforming Spirits", "Five Palaces Forging Yuan Jue", "Five Elements Alchemy Book", and "Moving Soul". collect.
At this moment, combined with the previous reasons, I naturally thought of "Moving Soul".
After the Ningsha and Lianggang realm monks of the Ranmushan Lin Family reach the end of their lives, they will transfer their souls to aliens to achieve immortality.
The only ones who can make a Lin family monk at the Refining Level to die on his own initiative are these old monsters.
“Interesting, after all the detours we come back to the Lin family. What are they doing, making the stall so big?”
As Lu Cheng’s mood changes, surrounding His two flying swords, Cang Yan and Qing Ming, curved slightly and buzzed, as if a man had stretched himself. They flew around the landing city twice, then quickly shrunk and flew back. in his sleeves.
A psychic flying sword can greatly reflect the owner's mood. With the golden dragon inner elixir in hand, Lu Cheng's mood at this time is:
"It's so good. Weather, whatever you did in the Lin family is in my hands. I will kill you and you will be worthy of your murder."
The Ranmushanlin family has been a major evil sect for many years, and Lu Cheng has been thinking about this family for more than a day or two.
The elixir of blood-transforming flowers that can make up for the monks' foundation appeared in the Huangquan Valley of Burning Wood Mountain. This incident spread like wildfire all over the world. It not only attracted the attention of major sects in the world, but also attracted a large number of people from the Tongxuan world. A gathering of cultivators.
There is a Qushui City near Ranmu Mountain. It is dominated by the Lin clan, supplemented by ordinary people. Although it is far less prosperous than the Lingnan Evernight City, it is still a good spiritual city.
Ranmu Mountain among the 100,000 mountains. Hundreds of miles away from the mountain is Qushui City. A hundred miles further west from Qushui City is Huangquan Valley, the birthplace of the blood-changing flower.
From the perspective of a monk, this distance is very close.
Huangquan Valley can also be called the Huangquan Ghost Cave, similar to the Yinfeng Ghost Cave within the influence of the Ten Thousand Beasts Celestial Palace in the Western Regions.
As for the inheritance of immortal civilizations, although their characters are different, they are all surface-shaped block characters. The underlying mechanism of their design is very sophisticated and will not be like that of many civilizations. With the development of the times, the required There are more and more words in the vocabulary to learn and the difficulty becomes more and more difficult. Commonly used words are basically within 5,000 words and will not increase rapidly.
And it is consistent with the way of life. For example, if a person says "chest" or "abdomen", his qi and pronunciation will naturally pass through these two parts.
So, like the red-haired ancestor Gongsun Lie, it is said that high-level monks with colored eyes are very rare because there are inherent civilization barriers.
The five words Yinfengdi Ghost Cave indicate all the characteristics of this place.
The same goes for the Huangquan Ghost Cave. It is a giant rift valley cave with lush jungles and dense miasma. It has its own ecology. Although the monks of the Burning Wood Mountain Lin family who use the soul transfer technique will greatly extend their lifespan, as time goes by, As time goes by, the lifespan of the soul will gradually be depleted. At this time, the animal nature will gradually erode the human nature, and the soul will gradually fall into madness.
At this time, the soul-moving monks will take the initiative to enter the Underworld Valley, taking advantage of the geographical location to slow down the loss of souls, and at the same time prevent themselves from going crazy and harming their former tribesmen.
Of course, the Lin family has set up a place like this as a forbidden area. What's more, monsters and insects will rush out from time to time in the valley to eat people.
But the entire Huangquan Valley is actually very large, and it was fine in the past. Now, with the monks stationed by the Lin family in the Huangquan Valley, they really can’t stop the world from gathering. Their numbers are getting larger and their cultivation levels are getting higher and higher. The higher the monk.
So after the garrisoned monks suffered losses, the Lin family simply withdrew those people, gave up their jurisdiction over Huangquan Valley, and began to shrink the family's power in order to protect themselves.
Lu Cheng entered Qushui City.
He walked around the street, casually inquired about the news, and then walked directly to a shop in the street.
The shop was a little deserted, with only a middle-aged monk sitting on a recliner and reading an old book.
"Fellow Taoist, are there any free caves for rent in the city?"
When the middle-aged monk saw someone coming in, he immediately stood up, put down the book in his hand, and stepped forward and said enthusiastically ：
"I, Qushui City, have enough spiritual energy. Over the past hundreds of years, I have opened up countless caves. There are countless caves with various levels of spiritual energy. How can it be possible to fill them all.
I just don’t know what level of caves you need?
Although Taoist friend looks young, he is full of magic power and is probably already at the foundation-building level.
If you want to live more comfortably, I recommend Taoist friends to choose the second-level A-size cave.
Because this type of cave is larger in area and has more than a dozen private rooms. There are two acres of third-grade middle-grade spiritual fields, which not only include an alchemy room, a weapon refining room, and a talisman-making room, but also a training room where monks test sword techniques.
However, renting a cave like this is naturally more expensive. ”
When Lu Cheng goes out, he will use the method of changing his appearance to fine-tune his face. Even people who are familiar with him will not recognize him at a glance. This monk who manages the cave in Qushui City, of course, is more It’s impossible to see through Lu Cheng’s god Magic Illusion.
Under the introduction of this monk, Lu Cheng chose a good second-level Grade A cave to rent.
In fact, there are far more caves for rent and sale in Qushui City. One place, but this place is run by the Lin family In the industry, the price of renting and selling cave houses is much higher than that of other shops, but there is one advantage, that is, the safety is more guaranteed. Lu Cheng predicted that chaos would come here, so he simply rented a Jiazi cave house at a high price. As for there being only a third-level Aura, one's own present The practice is mainly based on Ningsha, supplemented by spiritual energy.
It was under this situation that Lu Cheng moved into Qushui City, and at the same time sent a letter to the sect through the local hidden stake, saying that he had taken over the matter, and Describe the findings.
In the next six months, Lu Cheng used the Five Elements True Evil Gourd to practice Ningsha in Qushui City. At the same time, he opened a small shop and hired people to buy blood exchange flowers.
“The third-level blood exchange flower can make up for the monk’s Dao foundation, but will it have the same effect on spiritual insects?
The Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu is the king of ten thousand Gu, and it is also easy to cultivate it. It is extremely difficult. I have been feeding them with the best medicine from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect for many years. In addition to the increase in the number of third-level hundred poisonous golden silkworm Gu, There is no sign of being promoted to the fourth level.
So, will it be effective to mix these blood-changing flowers into the medicine? ”
The price of the blood-changing flowers is indeed one day. Three changes, but after all, it is only a third-level elixir. The price increase will not be excessive after all, and it will not exceed Lu Cheng's affordability.
On the contrary, if this kind of investment is effective, it will be more meaningful for oneself to catalyze the production of the fourth-order Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu as much as possible.
Of course, it was impossible to experiment with the entire group from the beginning. Lu Cheng chose a cave with multiple insect chambers, separated different groups of golden silkworm Gu insects, and raised them in them to supply the medicinal solution.
This is southern Xinjiang, and it is not difficult to find a foundation-building cave with multiple insect chambers.
Half a year later, in a deep cave in Qushui City, a ray of sunlight projected through a crack on the bluestone slab, making it variegated.
Lu Cheng sat cross-legged on the sapphire bed in the center of the stone room, wearing a large gray robe, with the collar casually open, revealing the plain cloth underneath.
His hands were placed flat on his knees, and the fingers of his hands were interlaced in mysterious magic gestures.
A gourd was suspended out of thin air in front of him, from which billows of pure evil energy gushed out. It looked black at first, but in fact there were all kinds of energy entangled inside.
With the deepening of cultivation, one's own magic power blends with the true evil energy of the five elements, causing the Taoist's physical body to gradually emit a faint light, implying the flowing colors of the five colors. With it as the center, there are faint ripples spreading in the air, as if the power of the five elements has achieved harmonious coexistence under the control of the Taoist.
In the next step, the magic power of the true evil is incorporated into the Dantian. The monks call this step "condensing the evil and holding the elixir, tempering the true form".
He is already very familiar with it, and of course there is nothing dangerous about it. However, there are countless people in the world who have made mistakes in their practice, and have ruined their lives at this step.
Therefore, in addition to the outer layer of defense formations inside and outside the entire cave, there are also dots of gold stars flashing, which are the swarms of hundred poisonous golden silkworms and Gu insects.
With these third-level golden silkworm Gu insect swarms, even a Ningsha monk with ordinary magic power would most likely die from the insect swarm if he broke in at will.
At this moment, there was a faint vibration on the ground. It was not a slight vibration, but the entire Qushui City and even a hundred miles around were shaking. In the quiet room, the Taoist had his eyes closed and his brows were slightly wrinkled, but his movements were not messy at all.
The sweat on his forehead dripped down his cheeks and hit the stone floor, but he remained unmoved and remained focused on the operation of Zhensha's magic power.
As time went by, the ground shook more and more violently.
Suddenly, the Taoist's palm on his knee moved slightly with his fingers like a sword, and then a ball of five-color light suddenly lit up on his fingertips, like a gorgeous five-color sun blooming in the cave.
"Huh..."
The earthquake gradually subsided, and he took a long breath. At this moment, Lu Cheng suddenly opened his eyes, and there were also colorful lights in his eyes. However, he has already collected all the five elements of true evil power into his Dantian, and his achievements have gone a step further.
The Zhensha gourd owned by the second senior sister Wu Lingjun is also a rare treasure. Although it is only a fourth-level mid-grade, it can contain an astonishing amount of evil spirit. Otherwise, Lu Cheng’s Zhensha Qi can be contained , even the last two levels of mana condensation are not something that an ordinary fourth-level magic weapon can hold.
"Huh, we are only half a step away from the perfection of the five elements. But how come earthquakes have happened so frequently in the past six months?"
After completing the exercise, Lu Cheng got up and walked out of the practice quiet room, went to the insect room, and saw Take a look at your experimental insect swarms to see if there are any abnormalities.
In the four insect rooms on both sides of the alleyway, there were many golden silkworm Gu lying densely packed. Lu Cheng used them for control experiments.
One group was fed only the high-grade elixir liquid secretly passed down by the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, one group was mixed with the third-level blood-transforming flower liquid, one group was only fed with the third-level blood-transforming flower liquid, and the other group was only fed with its own Mana infusion and warming.
After half a year, the results are obvious.
The fourth group was eliminated first. If they were fed normally and kept warm with mana infusion, the growth of the Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu would be very limited, or there would be no change at all in half a year.
Then the third group was eliminated. Although the Golden Silkworm Gu in this insect room was obviously irritable and excited, and its aggressiveness was greatly improved, its mana aura had limited growth. Of course, the number of blood transfusion flowers on my hand is limited after all, and the amount of medicine I put into feeding cannot be as much as the high-grade elixir liquid.
The golden silkworm Gu in the first group of insect chambers, when cultured with medicinal liquid, increased their mana aura slightly higher than that in the third group, but they did not show the characteristics of irritability and excitement.
The golden silkworm Gu in the second group of insect chambers, when mixed with the high-grade elixir liquid and the blood-transforming flower liquid, became larger in size, their mana aura increased rapidly, they were bloodthirsty and ferocious, and showed amazing aggression. .
Lucheng releases them back to the Chongxiang World from time to time, and these hundred-poisonous golden silkworm Gu will kill and devour them wildly. If the original spirit insects in the Chongxiang World do not vent their bloodthirsty desires, they will accumulate to After a certain level, they will even attack each other and eat each other.
"Obviously, the blood-transforming flower can make up for the monk's Dao foundation, and it is also effective against spiritual insects... no, it is more effective.
If we continue to cultivate it in this way, according to my calculation, it will be around ten years. There will be a fourth-level Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu born within, but be sure not to ignore the mana temperature. Otherwise, the ability to control this kind of spirit insect will become weaker and weaker.”
The high-level elixir liquid secretly passed down by the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is already very valuable, and the price is even higher if it is mixed with it. The blood-transforming flower liquid on top of it requires the monk to invest a certain amount of concentration and a lot of mana.
However, if you can cultivate the fourth-level Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu, it will be worthwhile. Except for the Yinshan Patriarch, there may not have been a Golden Silkworm Gu in this Tongxuan world for thousands of years, let alone Not to mention swarms of fourth-level golden silkworm Gu, even if it costs millions of spiritual stones, it is still worth it in Lu Cheng's eyes.
At this moment, a spiritual talisman flew over.
This is a communication talisman that, with Lu Cheng's permission, can pass through the formation and insect formation, and fly into the cave but cannot get close to the practice stone room.
Lu Cheng stretched out his hand to take the talisman and read the message:
"Fellow Taoist Lin Cheng, the atmosphere in Qushui City has been fluctuating for a hundred miles recently, are you still okay? Brother Yu recently organized At a gathering, the fourth-level blood-changing flowers needed by fellow Taoists will appear. If fellow Taoists are interested, But come and get together on that day.”
In half a year, due to the emergence of the fourth-level blood-transforming flower, more and more monks from the Tongxuan world gathered here. At the same time, Lu Cheng was not entirely practicing martial arts and cultivating gu. , he also made friends with some well-informed local monks under the pseudonym Lin Cheng, and paid attention to the situation here.
At present, the common view among alchemists is that the blood-transforming flower is condensed by the combination of some kind of elixir and earth energy in Huangquan Valley.
In the past ten years, the qi of the Huangquan Valley has been disordered, and the essence has leaked out and blended with the elixir, so that such a rare treasure can be grown.
In the future, when the earth energy here becomes stable, I am afraid that the elixir of blood transfusion flower will no longer be available, or at least, the number will be greatly reduced.
After the discussion of these high-level alchemists, the opinions they came to made the price of blood transfusion flowers skyrocket.
Now it is a bit similar to the main medicines for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. It is obviously only a third-level elixir, but because of its special characteristics, it can be sold at a price that most fourth-level elixirs cannot.
If Lu Cheng is willing to sell the blood exchange flowers he purchased before, his net worth will increase slightly. This shows that wealth will indeed gather on its own, but not only will Lu Cheng not Instead, he continued to increase the price to purchase, mainly the fourth-level hundred-poison golden silkworm Gu. Once they swarm, even the ordinary Jindan Daoist would avoid their sharp edges.
Seven days later.
Lu Cheng walked out of the cave where he rented a house, flew his sword light at low altitude to the south of the city, and then made three or two turns before entering a lively Taoist temple.
Many monks love to practice in Taoist temples. The people worshiped in this Taoist temple are the legendary monks who ascended to immortality many years ago.
It is said that before the Tongxuan Realm has withered at this time, these ascended immortals in Taoist temples even occasionally went to the lower realms with their spiritual thoughts to teach Taoism and inherit their own Dharma and Qi. However, there is no such adventure now. .
“Haha, it’s Taoist friend Lin Cheng who is here. Hiss, every time I think of Taoist friend’s name, I feel weird. Lin belongs to wood, sincerity belongs to metal, and wood belongs to metal. Tao How could a teacher from the Youqin clan give such a self-defeating name to a Taoist fellow? ”
The person who came face to face was Guo Lingbao, the host of this gathering. Although this person talked a little more, he was able to make jokes and make friends easily.
Lu Cheng had interacted with him several times and knew that he simply talked too much and had no other intentions, so he ignored him.
Wherever Lu Cheng passed, many monks came forward to greet him.
This is a trading meeting for Ningsha Realm monks, otherwise there would not be treasures like the fourth-level blood exchange flower. It is considered the highest-level private trading meeting in Qushui City.
Lu Cheng has been here for half a year. Although he is not well-known, he spends generously and his magic power is unfathomable. Therefore, many monks present want to talk to him and make friends.
For a trade fair of this level, even if everyone does not have this ambition, there will definitely be some process of exchanging Taoist experiences at the front of the queue.
It’s just that I’m not a close friend, who can easily tell the essence of my own Taoist practice, so everyone just talked in a foggy way, roughly revealing some specious things. If someone has the same practice, you can Communicate privately.
If not, there is no harm in the cultivators losing anything.
As time went by, it was finally time for the exchange meeting.
Guo Lingbao, as the landowner of this Taoist temple, was the first to speak: "I have a skull of a monster here. It seems to be at least fourth grade. Its horns and teeth are particularly sharp. I want to exchange it for fifteen thousand Thousand Spirit Stones, or two magic pills that increase mana.”
After speaking, he took out a large skull that looked like a sheep's head and placed it on the desk for the monks present to watch carefully.
Lu Cheng also stepped forward to take a look. This monster skeleton is full of aura, especially its double horns and sharp teeth. It is obviously a good material for refining magic weapons. If there is a fourth-level weapon refiner present, buy it. If you go back, you will make a profit.
Sure enough, not long after, a tall monk in Taoist robes walked to the corner of the Taoist temple with Guo Lingbao and started negotiating the price.
After a while, the tall monk in robes stepped forward and took away the skull and bones, making way for others.
Next, a few more things were exchanged, including a fourth-level mid-grade flying sword, but Lu Cheng didn’t dare to be interested until a girl in yellow came up holding a jade box. , put it on the table and opened it. Many people present immediately looked at Lu Cheng.
There is a blood orchid-like spiritual flower lying horizontally in the jade box, which is the fourth-level blood-changing flower.
