Chapter 98 Thousand Insects Refining Spirits
After taking care of the 82 acres of low-grade spiritual fields, we will find some wind spirit grasses to plant tomorrow.
Li Mu returned to the villa compound and entered a sealed stone room.
Li Mu sat in front of a stone table and took out the Hundred Refining Cup Furnace, Amber Jade and Soul-nurturing Urn from the Jiuzang Storage Spirit Beads and placed them on the table.
Picking up the amber jade, Li Mu looked hesitant.
The first operation is to unblock the fourth-level demon insect, then catalyze the insect eggs, and refine the cup spirit. The series of steps are a bit complicated. If there is a problem in any step in the middle, it will be a cakewalk!
It will be difficult to find this kind of opportunity again!
Li Mu watched the operation arrangements constantly being deduced in his mind. With his powerful soul and rich experience in refining weapons, making puppets, and drawing talismans, a look of determination gradually appeared on his face.
It is not Li Mu's character to be forward-thinking and hesitant. He fully opened his consciousness and stared at the amber jade. He took out the fifth-level thunder talisman spirit book from the storage compartment, input his spiritual power, and used its thunder power to generate thunder fire. Melt the amber jade.
【Golden Amber Stone】
[Grade: Fourth-Level Spiritual Object]
[Characteristics: Time stasis, invulnerability to water and fire]
[Level-4 Golden Amber Wood is an amber stone condensed by the overflowing sap. It has a sealing time. , the effect of freezing vitality, invulnerable to water and fire, can only be melted by roasting with thunder and fire. 】
The attribute information of amber jade is presented in the virtual frame of the character. Li Mu holds the fifth-level thunder talisman book in his hand, injecting a large amount of spiritual power to give birth to thunder spirit essence. A large number of blue electric snakes gather out, giving birth to A blue thunder fire.
Under the control of Li Mu's spiritual consciousness, the amber jade flew up on its own and suspended above the blue thunder fire. The solidified golden amber quickly turned into a stream of green smoke and dissipated, and a mist filled the sealed stone room. Amber scent.
Under the scorching heat of the blue thunder fire, the golden amber stone melted rapidly, and the colorful phantom butterfly encapsulated in it was gradually revealed.
With a flash of consciousness, Li Mu immediately controlled the 'Soul-nurturing Urn' to fly up, opened the lid of the urn, quickly swiped the belly of the completely unsealed colorful phantom butterfly, took out a ball of insect eggs and put it into the soul-nurturing urn.
Li Mu’s consciousness controlled the soul-nurturing urn to prevent living souls from escaping from the soul-nurturing urn, and then observed the changes of the insect eggs in the soul-nurturing urn. He saw that more than a thousand insect eggs were unconsciously moving automatically Absorbing the soul-generating power in the soul urn, the vitality gradually becomes stronger.
[Phantom Demon Butterfly Eggs]
[Level: Fourth-Level Demon Insect]
[Characteristics: Deadly dream, soul-sucking and soul-sucking]
[Status: Weak vitality, recovering from soul power injection. 】
[Unhatched phantom demon insect eggs, fourth-level demon insects, good at psychedelic creatures, robbing souls for food, the power of soul creation is recovering sufficiently, and it is expected to hatch successfully in the 27th day. 】
Supernatural Talent - Identifying All Spirits, the state of the insect eggs was completely revealed. Li Mu clearly saw the real-time state of the insect eggs. His worried expression was swept away, and he couldn't help but show a hint of joy. .
Most of the more than a thousand phantom demon insect eggs are alive. After they all hatch and are raised for a while, this number will be enough to put into the Hundred Refining Cup Furnace to refine the cup spirit.
Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief, covered the soul-nurturing jars, and placed them directly on the table to let them recover slowly.
Putting the Thunder Spirit Talisman Book into the storage compartment, Li Mu’s eyes fell on the corpse of the colorful phantom butterfly. He frowned and thought about how to refine it into a demon insect puppet. There were no small demon insects in the puppet formula of the Thousand Machine Puppet Technique. The only methods for refining puppets are large monster insects, such as the Nine Mother Earth Spider and the method for refining puppets of the Death Demon Praying Mantis.
The body of the colorful phantom butterfly is too small to be implanted with the puppet source core.
Thinking of something, Li Mu suddenly moved his mind. He took out the coolie puppet from the Jiuzang spirit bead, opened the coolie puppet's mid-drive puppet source, and took out the puppet source core refined from the fourth-level soul wood spirit seed. This is a puppet proto-nucleus the size of a little finger, which is just right for use on a palm-sized colorful phantom butterfly.
Li Mu's eyes shone, and he immediately became energetic. He took out the spiritual materials specially used for refining the demon body puppet from the Jiuzang Spirit Pearl, demon bone, fishy liquid, carving knives, utensils,..., Waiting for various miscellaneous spiritual objects and tools, they began to transform the figure of the colorful phantom butterfly and carve puppet patterns.
Li Mu used his spiritual consciousness as a carving knife, used the seven-color phantom demon butterfly corpse as the base, carved the puppet as the pattern, broke off the demon butterfly's colorful wings, replaced them with third-order demon bone carved feathers, and used the original core of the soul wood puppet as the main..., after three days. After refining, it was finally made into a small and exquisite Phantom Butterfly Puppet.
No, it is no longer a fantasy butterfly, but a second-order miniature insect-type puppet refined from the fourth-order fantasy butterfly insect corpse, the third-order demon bone feather, and the fourth-order soul wood spirit species puppet source core. .
Without the terrifying soul-stealing ability of the colorful phantom butterfly, nor the attacking ability of the combat puppet, it was refined into a miniature reconnaissance puppet that is only half the size of a palm and flies extremely fast.
Amidst the subtle chirping of "Sisi", the butterfly and insect puppets were flying around Li Mu at a high speed, sometimes left, sometimes right, sometimes up and down. The speed was as fast as thunder and difficult to see with the naked eye. .
The butterfly insect puppet flew rapidly for a while, its petite body flashing with light, and finally lost its battery life, and slowly landed in Li Mu's palm.
Li Mu sighed. The design idea of this butterfly insect puppet was correct. It fully met the design requirements. The concealment, speed, and body flexibility were all sufficient. The only problem was battery life.
The butterfly insect puppet must be driven by spirit stones. However, its body is too small. It can only use medium-grade spirit stones to cut three pieces of broken spirit as big as a little finger to drive the butterfly insect puppet.
The butterfly insect puppet flew at full speed, comparable to the flying speed of the Qingyun Spirit Boat. This small amount of spiritual stone was not enough for it to fly fifty miles.
Although the Butterfly Puppet has no combat effectiveness, it is a powerful reconnaissance tool suitable for use in some special occasions. With Li Mu's spiritual consciousness, his observation distance has been greatly increased.
"Well! If you have a chance, I'll get another high-grade spiritual stone, or cut it into pieces and use it." Li Mu put away the butterfly and insect puppet.
With this successful experience in transforming puppets, Li Mu immediately opened up his mind and no longer limited himself to refining puppets using the puppet formula provided by Qianji Puppet Tao. Instead, he chose his own design and refined puppets according to his own ideas. .
For example, make the Sentry Spider Puppet larger in size, increase the ability to fly, add eight limbs and wooden legs to bounce, hug,... and other abilities, and open an opening on the abdomen. In the hidden slot of the magic talisman, a trigger pattern is added, and a thunder talisman or fire bomb talisman is placed.
With such a transformation, the sentry spider puppet suddenly has the lethality to take off and explode itself.
When a dense group of sentry spider puppets swarm towards the enemy, swooping down to hug the face, arms, legs, and body, and then trigger the thunder talisman, fire bomb talisman,... in their abdomen, they will self-destruct one after another. Don't make that picture too beautiful.
When Li Mu thought of this application scenario, his heart was immediately moved, and he couldn't wait to devote himself to the transformation of the puppet.
...
Next, Li Mu devoted himself to a pastoral life like seclusion and planted 82 acres of spiritual fields with wind spirit grass. On weekdays, he watered the spirit rain, and in his spare time, he refined puppets and helped Wanbao. After eight or nine days, he took some time to fly to Xiaoliang Mountain to inspect the tea fields. Li Mu's life at Nanyin Villa was both fulfilling and leisurely.
Time flies, and twenty-seven days pass by.
Li Mu got into the secret room of the stone house and observed the hatching of the eggs of the fourth-order colorful phantom butterfly in the soul-nurturing urn.
The souls in the soul-nurturing urn have long been used up, and the eggs of the phantom monsters have broken out of their shells. They are like small white caterpillars. When crawling, their bodies disappear and appear. It's so magical, but their bodies exude a dangerous energy. Auras, weak soul-sucking fluctuations, emitted from them, carrying an illusion-controlling aura.
Nearly all the Phantom Butterflies have broken out of their shells, it’s almost time!
More than 1,200 phantom butterfly larvae, how many souls must be absorbed to raise them to maturity! Li Mu doesn't have the ability to raise so many, so just one is enough.
Immediately, Li Mu poured the more than 1,200 phantom demon butterfly larvae in the soul-nurturing urn into the Hundred-Refining Cup Furnace, then closed the lid of the cup-furnace and injected spiritual power to activate the Hundred-Refining Cup Furnace. The Thousand Insects Soul Seizing Formation.
With the injection of a large amount of spiritual power, the Hundred Refining Cup Furnace was activated, and the Thousand Insect Soul Seizing Formation was activated, releasing a red blood god cup essence, and more than 1,200 phantom demon butterfly insects. The collective was filled with chicken blood, the collective was boiling, and they started fighting crazily.
The Hundred Refining Cup Furnace was buzzing. As the Thousand Insects Soul Seizing Formation was activated, the furnace body shook violently. The base of the furnace was unstable. A pattern of the furnace was dissipating rapidly. The entire furnace body seemed to explode. , spirituality weakens rapidly.
Li Mu was startled. He injected spiritual power with one hand to maintain the Thousand Insects Soul Seizing Formation. He threw his spiritual consciousness into the Hundred Refining Cup Furnace, and at the same time injected the spiritual power of the weapon refining pattern to prevent the weapon pattern from dissipating... .
Time passed bit by bit, and Li Mu's seconds were like years, and his spiritual power was consumed hugely.
Li Mu's face turned as white as snow and he secretly complained. If the Thousand Insects Soul Seizing Formation didn't end soon, he would not be able to hold on any longer.
The foundation of the Hundred Refining Cup Furnace has begun to collapse, and this cup spirit refining will be its final glory.
Hold on!
"叽" A clear insect sound suddenly sounded in the Hundred Refining Cup Furnace, as if celebrating a victory, full of pride.
Hearing this slight sound, the sound of thousands of insects fighting in the Hundred Refining Cup Furnace had also ended. Li Mu's spirit perked up and he immediately beamed with joy. It was finally over.
Li Mu swept his consciousness, confirmed the situation, and immediately dispersed to support the Hundred Refining Cup Furnace’s spiritual power.
With a crisp sound of "Boom", the Hundred Refining Cup Furnace was like a tight spring. The walls of the furnace exploded in all directions, turning into countless fragments and powder. In the center of the furnace, a blood-red animal appeared. The phantom butterfly larvae is more than five or six times larger than the previous white larvae.
"叽" The Hundred Refining Cup Furnace suddenly exploded, startling the blood-colored larvae and wondering why.
The blood-colored larvae discovered Li Mu, and a pair of black eyes immediately became bloodshot and turned scarlet, exuding a fierce and bloody aura, and a powerful spiritual power immediately rushed out.
Li Mu was in a trance for a moment, then quickly woke up, so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
If he hadn’t upgraded the God Tempering Art to level 10 and acquired the divine soul defensive magical power of self-consolidation of the divine soul, he would have definitely been hit by that attack just now.
Although this little guy has just hatched, his strength cannot be underestimated!
Li Mu looked at the little guy with both eyes, feeling both happy and scared. If he was given some time to grow up, he would definitely not be able to withstand his innate ability, now! It has no chance!
“Ji?” The blood-colored demonic insect cried out in confusion. His invincible hunting method actually failed. What’s going on?
"Little guy, are you not convinced? Try mine!" Li Mu chuckled, pinched the Spirit Control Seal Technique in his hand, and a divine soul light penetrated into the body of the bloody phantom butterfly larvae.
The next moment, a bloody insect shadow with the soul-controlling seal immediately appeared in Li Mu's sea of consciousness.
Through this soul-controlling seal, Li Mu could sense the insect shadow's emotions, bewilderment, hunger, Loss, doubt,..., and other small emotions.
"Little guy, are you hungry? Call daddy and I'll give you something good to eat!" Li Mu stretched out his index finger, gently pushed the bloody larva's head, and said with a smile.
"Jiji!" The little guy seemed to understand and shouted twice. The seal of the Yuling Spirit was formed. It could no longer bear any hostility towards Li Mu, only kindness and obedience.
"Haha! Of course it's a good thing, but I don't know if you can eat it. I'm afraid you can't digest it!" Li Mu laughed, and after reading the little guy's attribute information, he immediately felt relieved.
Li Mu took out a jade bottle from the Jiuzang Spirit Bead. This jade bottle contained the spirit of a third-level monster - the blue-eyed gray tiger. It came from the foundation-building fair and used a red gold low-grade spirit. Obtained from the sword trade.
Li Mu originally planned to use the divine refining and spirit-melting method to refine the spirit of the demon tiger into a spiritual weapon to refine a low-level spiritual treasure with a weapon spirit. However, because there were no suitable materials for refining the weapon, , and there is no way to tame the soul of the monster beast, so in order to avoid damaging the soul, he has not let go.
Now! Isn’t the little guy hungry? This demon tiger spirit is just suitable to be its food.
After Li Mu took out the jade bottle, he put it in front of the little guy, and then, with a "pop" sound, he opened the cap of the soul bottle.
As soon as the soul bottle was opened, a Canghu spirit roared and was about to come out. Immediately, the Canghu spirit saw the blood-colored demon insect, and the roaring state stopped abruptly, just like a mouse seeing a cat, with a "swish" , and got back into the soul bottle.
When the little guy saw the Canghu spirit, his dark eyes flashed with blood, and his figure flew out like a spring.
With a "poof" sound, the little guy was too fat. His plump body was stuck in the mouth of the jade bottle, and his little butt was twisting and turning, looking very funny.
"Hahaha! Little greedy boy, you're stuck!" Seeing this scene, Li Mu laughed happily.
However, due to the little guy’s innate attributes, even if it does not get into the soul-sucking bottle, it can still eat the Canghu’s soul. Now it is stuck, it just blocks the mouth of the bottle, and the Canghu’s soul has nowhere to go. Can escape.
"Well! It's time to give you a name. What should you call it! Xue Shan? Spicy strips?" Li Mu, who had a useless name, looked at the bloody phantom butterfly with a big insect head stuck in the mouth of the bottle and twisting its buttocks. Incessantly.
"Jiji! Gugu!" The blood-colored demonic insect blocked the mouth of the bottle, sucking in the soul power of the Canghu's soul with big mouthfuls, and the blood-colored little butt twisted even more happily.
With the absorption of a large amount of soul power, the blood color on its body was quickly starting to become lighter. Li Mu looked at the attribute information of the little guy and immediately decided to call it 'Xiao Bai'.
The blood essence in the Blood God Cup is being rapidly absorbed by Xiao Bai. Xiao Bai has successfully advanced to the fifth level insect spirit, and it will soon return to its original snow-white color.
