Chapter 398 The Wind is Rising Overseas, Insect Breeding

Although the "Gold-Eating Insect" is at the top of the strange insect list, according to the jade slip of the Yuling Sect monk, its individual abilities are very limited, and it relies entirely on its huge number to win.

If there are only a dozen or dozens of them, they won't be of much use even after they grow up.

Only when the number reaches hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands, is it truly worthy of its ranking on the strange insect list.

Han Li himself felt shuddering at the thought of countless insects flying and attacking in the sky, killing them all.

Therefore, what we need to do now is to ripen these gold-eating insects as quickly as possible, and then let them give birth to offspring as soon as possible, so that the number can roll up.

But it’s easier said than done!

As a strange insect that existed in ancient times, the Gold-Eating Insect has long been extinct in the Tiannan Immortal Realm. The specific feeding and breeding methods have also been lost for countless generations.

The Yuling Sect monk's jade slip for raising insects only sorted out some of the insect's habits based on some ancient classics, and there was no detailed training method at all.

This annoyed Han Li for a long time.

In fact, not only the twelfth-ranked "gold-eating insect", but also the top thirty strange insects are almost all insect-like monsters that have been extinct in the world of immortality for many years.

The Yuling Sect monk was originally an insect fanatic. After collecting various ancient materials and analyzing them, he ranked these ancient insects on the strange insect list.

Only God knows whether the rankings at the top of this strange insect list are reliable!

It was also a coincidence that Han Li was able to obtain these gold-eating insects that should be extinct.

Because these gold-eating insects, which are still larvae, have been sleeping in suspended animation deep underground in Xiaohuan Island for unknown reasons since ancient times.

It stands to reason that these strange insects will not wake up easily even if landslides and landslides occur, and rivers and seas turn upside down.

But Han Li gathered many other strange insects together in the cave of Xiaohuan Island to feed them. As a result, the smell of these insects slowly spread to the ground, and a miraculous group of gold-eating insects woke up due to their feeding instinct. .

They should have launched a feeding attack long ago, but among Han Li's strange insects there were also "blood jade spiders" that were incompatible with them. Out of their natural fear, they did not dare to get too close to Han Li's cave.

Therefore, while they were hiding underground in Xiaohuandao, they were staring at Han Li's cave.

And when Han Li went shopping, he took the Blood Jade Spider away with him, which gave the Gold-Eating Insect an opportunity.

As Han Li saw, these gold-eating insects devoured all the strange insects he fed, and settled in the cave's medicine garden as their home base.

As a result, Han Li, who came back secretly, killed them all in one fell swoop.

Now, since Han Li didn't have the mental skills to breed insects as before, he had no choice but to slowly explore on his own.

First, Han Li tried to put various types of insect food into the insect chamber. As a result, no matter what type of insect food, all the insect food was swept away by hundreds of gold-eating insects, and they were not picky at all. This made Han Li very happy. .

But Han Li's happiness only lasted for a few months when he discovered that no matter how much insect food these gold-eating insects ate, there was no sign of growth or change.

This made Han Li depressed, so he had to find another way.

This insect likes to eat hardware and spiritual energy, so Han Li tried to feed them some raw metal ores and some low-level spiritual stones.

As a result, after being swallowed, these bugs showed no strange changes and failed again.

Han Li was so depressed that he simply threw the dozen or so dead eggs of the "Golden-backed Sword Beetle" that he had kept into the insect chamber.

After being eaten by gold-eating insects, the aura of these insects finally changed, and they seemed to be more ferocious than before eating.

This made Han Li both surprised and worried.

Could it be that these gold-eating insects can only mature by devouring other strange insects? This is hard to do!

Apart from the two "blood jade spiders", there are no other strange insects here.

In desperation, Han Li simply bought some pig and sheep blood food from outside and threw it into the insect chamber.

But apart from making these gold-eating bugs more ferocious and violent, it also had no effect in promoting their advancement and maturity.

In desperation, Han Li finally ripened enough spiritual grass and began to refine the "spiritual feeding pills".

In the past, I patronized refining an elixir for myself to increase my magic power, but I never had time to refine this elixir. Now is the time to give it a try.

Within a few days, the first batch of spirit-feeding pills was successfully refined.

Han Li immediately let the "gold-eating insect" and two "blood jade spiders" eat part of it.

As a result, the effect of the Spirit Feeding Pill made Han Li half happy and half worried!

Fortunately, the elixir that can improve the level of monsters is also effective against these strange insects.

What's worrying is that the effects of this pill after feeding "Gold-Eating Insect" and "Blood Jade Spider" are too different.

The two blood jade spiders took four or five spirit-feeding pills, and their spiritual energy increased significantly on the second day. The effect was extremely obvious.

As for the gold-eating insect that also ate a few spirit-feeding pills, although there was some effect, compared with the blood jade spider, it was really insignificant, with only a slight increase.

It is estimated that because the number of gold-eating bugs is too large, there will naturally not be a big increase if there are only a few hundred.

This was only a few hundred. When he thought about how powerful it would be to have tens of thousands in the future, Han Li immediately lost confidence in continuing to breed insects.

He used all the green liquid produced in the vial to refine the Spirit Feeding Pills, and it was impossible to cultivate such a large army of "gold-eating insects" in more than a hundred years.

After coming to this conclusion, Han Li lost interest in training the gold-eating insects. After feeding all the remaining Spirit Feeding Pills to the Blood Jade Spider, I just threw some insect food into the Gold Devouring Insect every day.

By this time, Han Li had been staying in Tianxing City for half a year.

In the remaining days, he went into seclusion and frantically made second-level puppets and various talismans.

Not to mention the talismans. Without pill formation, he still cannot master the intermediate spells, so naturally he cannot make the intermediate talismans.

After making so many talismans, the only benefit he got was that his level of making primary talismans had greatly increased.

Even for elementary and high-level talismans, the success rate was close to half, which allowed him to save a lot of talisman-making materials.

The main raw material of the second-level puppet is ironwood that is hundreds of years old. Han Li could ripen it himself, so the cost of making a puppet was reduced by more than half.

As for the souls needed to refine the puppets, the "Soul Gathering Bowl" he got before happened to be filled with lonely ghosts whose spiritual consciousness had long been lost, so Han Li used it without any hesitation.

After all, without spiritual consciousness, these souls have also lost the qualifications for reincarnation and can only be used as ordinary sacrificial materials.

More than two hundred puppets were finally completed, all of them animal-shaped puppets, which made Han Li extremely satisfied.

But the appearance of these puppets also meant that part of the spirit stones in Han Li's pocket disappeared.

Because the cost of one puppet may not be very high, but if there are more than two hundred of them, plus the materials that are scrapped due to manufacturing failure, the price is staggering.

At this time, Han Li had been in seclusion for two years.

In addition, in the past two years, the "Feiling Pills" refined by Han Li were used to feed the blood jade spiders.

Under the stimulation of the powerful medicine, the two monsters were upgraded again and entered the first-level top-level monsters.

At the same time, Quhun has finally refined the "Hunyuan Bowl" in more than two years.

Although he is not the original owner of this magic weapon and has never been able to unite his mind and heart, he can finally put it into his body and exert seven percent of its power.

It's not like Han Li hasn't thought about letting Qu Hun refine his magic weapon.

But first of all, the materials for the magic weapon are really expensive. With the remaining spirit stones, he might not be able to get even the most common materials together.

Secondly, refining a magic weapon cannot be developed in the soul in a short time. It will take at least twenty or thirty years of hard work before it can begin to take on power.

Han Li doesn't have so much time to waste!

He urgently needed to obtain a large amount of demonic beast inner elixirs to refine elixirs in preparation for starting the second turn of the "Three Turns of Heavy Yuan Gong".

Previously, whether it was training strange insects or refining a large number of puppets, it was all in preparation for going out to sea to hunt monsters.

He paid for the puppets, the blood jade spiders, the formation magic weapons, and Quhun as the main force. With his own assistance, it shouldn't be difficult to hunt down the fifth-level monsters.

After thinking about it like this, Han Li finally left the cave that day and took Quhun to Fangshi in Tianxing City.

Since we are going to the outer sea to hunt high-level monsters, we naturally need some information about the monsters and the islands in the outer star sea beyond the teleportation array.

All of this should be found in the city.

The city of Tianxing City is located on the first level of the Holy Mountain.

It is so large that it occupies more than half of the first floor.

Every day, many monks come here to buy and sell various magical instruments and materials. In terms of scale and prosperity, it is far beyond any market that Han Li has ever seen before.
