Chapter 392 – Breeding Insects
Although the “Gold Devouring Insect” ranked high on the list of strange insects, according to the Imperial Spirit Sect cultivator’s jade slip, its individual ability was very limited, and it relied entirely on huge numbers to win. If there are only a dozen or tens of them, they won’t be of much use as adults. Only when the number reached hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands did it truly deserve its ranking on the list of strange insects.
The thought of countless bugs flying and attacking in the air in the sky, killing more than they could kill, Han Li himself had some chilling sensations.
Therefore, what needs to be done now is to quickly ripen these Gold Devouring Insects, and then let them give birth to their offspring as soon as possible, so that the number can tumble up.
But it’s easy to say, but it’s really hard to do! Gold Devouring Insects, as a strange insect that existed in ancient times, had long been extinct in the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World, and the specific method of rearing and cultivating them had been lost for many generations. That the Royal Spirit Sect cultivator’s bug raising jade slip, also only according to some ancient texts, only to organize some of the bug’s habits, there is no detailed method of coaching.
This made Han Li chagrined for a long time.
In fact, not only the twelfth ranked “Gold Devouring Bug”, ranked in the top thirty strange insects are almost all in the Immortal Cultivation World extinct for many years of insect-type demonic beasts. That the Royal Spirit Sect cultivator is a bug crazy, around to collect a variety of ancient information to analyze, before these ancient insects ranked into the list of strange insects. Whether or not the ranking at the front of this strange insect list is reliable, only God knows!
It was also a coincidence that Han Li was able to obtain these Gold Devouring Insects that were supposed to be extinct.
Because these Gold Devouring Insects that were still larvae, for some unknown reason, had been in a long sleep of pseudo-death in the depths of the earth of the Little Huan Island since ancient times.
It was reasonable to say that even if the ground were to crumble and the rivers topple, these strange insects would not easily wake up. However, Han Li had gathered many other strange insects together to feed them within the cave on Little Huan Island, and as a result, the odor of these insects slowly spread to the underground, actually allowing the Gold Devouring Insects to miraculously wake up in groups out of feeding instincts.
They originally should have launched a feeding attack, but Han Li’s strange insects but also and they are the opposite of the “Blood Jade Spider”, out of fear of nature, they do not dare to excessively close to Han Li’s cave. Thus, they lurked in the underground of Little Huan Island, while staring at Han Li’s cave.
And that time Han Li went out shopping, taking the Blood Jade Spider along with him, this allowed the Gold Devouring Insects to wait for their chance.
Just as Han Li had seen, these Gold Devouring Insects had devoured all of the strange insects that he had fed them, and settled there with the cave’s medicinal garden as their lair. As a result, they were swept away by Han Li, who had sneaked back.
Now, since Han Li didn’t have the previous Insect Breeding Mind Method, he had no choice but to slowly feel his way through it on his own.
First, Han Li tried to put all types of insect food into the insect room, the result is that no matter what type of insect food, were all swept away by these hundreds of Gold Devouring Insects, actually not the slightest bit picky about what to eat, which makes Han Li heart overjoyed.
But Han Li’s happy just maintain a few months, found that these gold-devouring insects eat more food, but there is no sign of growth and change. This made Han Li depressed and had to try something else.
This bug loved to eat hardware and spiritual qi, Han Li tried feeding them some raw metal ore and some low-grade spiritual stones respectively. As a result, after swallowing, these bugs likewise had no unusual changes. Again declared a failure.
Depressed Han Li simply put the dozen or so dead eggs of the “Golden-backed Blade Mantis” that he had been keeping into the bug room. After being eaten by the Gold Devouring Bugs, the aura on these bugs finally changed, and seemed to be a bit more ferocious than before feeding.
This caused Han Li to worry while being pleasantly surprised. Could it be that these Gold Devouring Insects would only mature by devouring other strange insects? This can be difficult to do! In addition to the two “Blood Jade Spiders” here, there were no other strange insects.
Under no circumstances, Han Li simply bought some pig and sheep type blood food from outside and threw it into the insect chamber. But in addition to making these Gold Devouring Insects even more ferocious and violent, the same effect of promoting their ascension to maturity did not occur.
In desperation, Han Li finally ripened enough spirit grass to begin refining the “Spirit Feeding Pill”.
Previously, focusing on refining pills for himself to enhance his mana, never had time to refine this pill, and now it’s time to give it a try.
Within a few days, the first furnace of Spirit Feeding Pills was successfully refined. Han Li immediately let the “Gold Devouring Insect” and two “Blood Jade Spider” eat a portion of the result, the effect of the Spirit Feeding Pill let Han Li half happy and half worried!
Joyfully, the pills that elevated the level of the demonic beasts were indeed equally effective on these strange insects. Worried is that the effect of this pill after feeding the “Gold Devouring Insects” and “Blood Jade Spiders”, the difference is also too far right.
The two blood jade spiders took four or five pills of the Spirit Feeding Pill, and on the second day, their aura grew by a small amount, and the effect was obvious. And the same share of a few Spirit Feeding Pills of the Gold Devouring Insects, the effect, although there is, but compared to the Blood Jade Spiders, it is really insignificant very much, there is only a trace of growth.
It was estimated that because the number of Gold Devouring Insects was just too much, with a few hundred of them so divided, naturally there couldn’t be a big increase.
This was still only a few hundred, and once he thought about the tens of thousands that would come later before he could utilize his power, Han Li immediately lost his confidence in continuing to breed insects. He would have used all of the green liquid produced by the vial in the refining of the Spirit Feeding Pill, and it would have been impossible to cultivate such a large army of “Gold Devouring Insects” within a hundred years or so.
After coming to this conclusion, Han Li lost interest in teaching the Gold Devouring Insects, feeding the remaining Spirit Feeding Pills to the Blood Jade Spiders, and only throwing some insect food into the Gold Devouring Insects on a daily basis.
By this time, Han Li had already spent half a year in Tianxing City.
For the rest of the day, he closed down and frantically created secondary puppets and various talismans.
Not to mention the talismans, he still couldn’t master intermediate spells without a dan, so naturally he couldn’t create intermediate talismans. After so many talismans were made, the only benefit he received was that the level of making primary talismans had greatly increased. Even the primary high-level talismans had a success rate of close to half, which allowed him to save a lot of talisman-making materials.
As for the main ingredient of a secondary puppet, which was hundreds of years of ironwood, Han Li could ripen it himself, so the cost of creating a puppet was reduced by more than half.
And refining puppets need souls, coincidentally, he used to get that “gathering souls bowl” inside more than, are spirit consciousness early loss of lonely ghosts, Han Li is not polite directly used. After all, there is no spiritual consciousness, these souls have lost the qualification of reincarnation, can only be used as ordinary sacrificial material.
More than two hundred puppets were finally completed, all of them were clear beast-shaped puppets, which made Han Li extremely satisfied.
However, the appearance of these puppets also meant that the spirit stones in Han Li’s pockets had disappeared again. Because the cost of a single puppet might not be that high, but with more than two hundred of them, plus those materials that were scrapped due to manufacturing failures, the price could be staggering.
At this point, Han Li had been in seclusion for two full years.
In addition, during these two years, Han Li refined the “Spirit Feeding Pill”, which was used to feed the Blood Jade Spider. Under the impetus of the powerful medicinal power, the two demonic beasts once again rose in rank, entering the ranks of the first-class top-ranked demonic beasts.
At the same time Qu Soul also in this two years of time, finally will that “Mixed Mantle” refinement of the seven or eight. Although limited to not the original owner of this magic treasure, always unable to do the mind and spirit unity, but finally can be it into the body, play its power of seven points.
Han Li did not think of letting Qu Soul refine his own magic treasure, but for one thing, the materials for the magic treasure are really sky-high, with his remaining spirit stones, I’m afraid that even the most common materials can’t come together. Secondly, refining a magic treasure is not something that can be raised in the Yuan Shen in a moment, at the very least, it will take twenty to thirty years of hard work before it can take on its first power. Han Li didn’t have that much time to waste!
He urgently needed a large amount of demonic beast inner pills to refine spirit medicines, so that he could begin the second transformation of the “Three Revolutions Heavy Elemental Technique”.
Previously, whether it was to train strange insects or refine a large number of puppets, it was all in preparation for going out to sea to kill demonic beasts. He thought to himself that with the puppets, blood jade spiders, and formation magic weapons, plus the Qu Soul as the main force, and himself assisting from the side, hunting and killing level 5 demonic beasts should not be a difficult task.
Thinking this way, Han Li finally left his cave this day, taking Qu Soul towards the Heavenly Star City’s marketplace. Since he wanted to go to the outer sea to kill high-grade demonic beasts, he naturally needed some information about the demonic beasts and the outer star sea islands over the teleportation array, all of which he should be able to find in the workshop market.
Tianxing City’s workshop market was located on the first floor of the Holy Mountain, and its scale was so large that it almost occupied more than half of the first floor.
Every day, there were many cultivators coming here to buy and sell all sorts of magic weapons and materials, and in terms of scale and prosperity, it was far from anything Han Li had ever seen before.
