Chapter 78 Target, Spirit Beast Peak Trial
The next day, Jiang Lan got up early and went directly to the "Soul Devouring Insect Trap" that had just been opened yesterday!
What came into view was a dense mass of translucent insects, which were constantly wriggling and fighting for the rice grains on the ground.
Since they were no longer still and there were no spiritual plants to cover them, they could be seen even with the naked eye.
"Oh my god, they are so dense!"
"It seems that it is really because of the Baixiang rice. So, the mad dog that insisted on breaking into the courtyard was because of the Baixiang rice?"
"But no matter what, the soul devouring insects..."
Jiang Lan looked at the culprit who had been harming his spiritual field these days, and silently took out the sickle from behind.
"Heh, die!"
With the injection of mana, the sickle emitted bursts of cold light...
Jiang Lan swung towards the field repeatedly, and sword energy flew past.
The soul devouring insects exploded one after another, becoming spiritual energy floating in the air.
And because of the existence of the formation, the spiritual energy was locked in the formation, and then slowly went underground.
"Well! It relieves stress and anger, and makes me feel relaxed!"
Jiang Lan sighed with relief as he watched the soul-eating insects in the field disappear in large pieces.
He then patrolled the spiritual field again and cleaned up a few fish that slipped through the net.
He started a new day with a happy mood.
It was nothing more than body refining, cooking, drawing talismans, refining pills, practicing spells...
"The 'Blood Spirit Elixir' I refined is used up, and the next batch will have to wait for 2 months..."
[Cultivation]: Fifth level of body refining (41%), second level of Qi refining (18%)
In two months, the progress of body refining has increased by 18%, and so has Qi refining.
"Back then, Qi training only improved by more than 20% in a year, and it was still at the first level of Qi training..."
[Kung Fu]: "Black Turtle Power": Great Success (56%), "Eternal Youth Secret" Perfection (2%)
[Drawing Talisman]: First-level Minor Success (43%)
Branch Ability: [Success Rate +5%]
[Pharmaceutical Preparation]: Great Success (76%)
Branch Ability: [Success Rate +5%], [Quantity +10%]
"Kung Fu is steadily improving, but why is this "Eternal Youth Secret" still improving? Can it evolve into the foundation-building chapter?"
"Pharmaceutical preparation has improved the most. Years ago, it was only a minor success. Now it has not only been upgraded, but the progress has also been accelerated!"
"I guess it's because the elixirs I'm refining now are all entry-level."
"Will the progress be accelerated if I refine higher-level items?"
In the past month and a half, Jiang Lan has refined nearly 100 bottles of Qi-gathering elixirs and 10 bottles of Blood Spirit elixirs.
This improvement is also justified.
"It's a pity. If I had known that the branching ability of Dacheng was [Quantity + 10%], I should have put the Blood Spirit Elixir behind for refining."
"After two and a half months, the Blood Spirit Rice will mature, and the original 17 bottles should be able to increase to about 19 bottles!"
"If only there were a few more acres of spiritual fields!"
Thinking so, Jiang Lan turned his attention to the wasteland...
"Spirit Devouring Insects, give some help! If you can reproduce, reproduce more!"
Half a month later, Jiang Lan finally waited for the Baixiang Rice to mature.
"Wow, it's almost not enough!"
Jiang Lan complained while harvesting Baixiang Rice.
A total of about 280 kilograms of Baixiang Rice were harvested. Previously, due to the Soul Devouring Insects, the production was reduced...
It should be said that except for the Blood Spirit Rice, the rest of the production was reduced.
As for why the Blood Spirit Rice was not poisoned by the Soul Devouring Insects, Jiang Lan thought that perhaps the bloody smell made the Soul Devouring Insects hate it.
In the past half month, Jiang Lan added another 4 mu of "trap fields", with only a small amount of fragrant rice in each mu, and surrounded by iron cages.
Only allowed to look, not to eat!
But even so, the soul-eating insects are still endless...
The spiritual energy in the 5-mu field formation is very rich!
Through the formation, it is guided underground to nurture and strengthen the spiritual veins, thus forming a spiritual field.
The progress is about 30%!
"This is much faster than the earth-containing spiritual earthworms!"
Jiang Lan's transformation from the previous mortal enemy to the current darling is very fast.
"Is there any way to tame the soul-eating insects!"
Since realizing the value of the soul-eating insects, Jiang Lan began to look for information in this regard.
After checking the books and asking Lin Lao, the result is that there is no record of humans successfully taming the soul-eating insects...
Originally, Jiang Lan was going to give up...
Until this day!
As usual, Jiang Lan came to the spiritual field and habitually began to harvest the soul-eating insects.
One crop after another, it is still very comfortable.
But unlike usual, this time there is only one seedling left alive!
Jiang Lan had never seen a soul-eating insect that could survive under his sickle.
He walked forward with curiosity.
A white and fat soul-eating insect, about a circle larger than the others.
Still pushing against the iron cage.
[Soul-eating mother insect] (Contractable)
"Hmm? Contractable?"
The previous soul-eating insect was just a bare name, but there was no word of contract?
"Could it be that this mother insect can be tamed, and then controlled by it?"
Just as Jiang Lan was thinking, the soul-eating mother insect had already pushed through the iron cage and successfully ate the fragrant rice!
"Anyway, give it a try!"
Jiang Lan chanted the spell, forced a drop of blood from his fingertips, and threw it at the soul-eating mother insect.
This is the contract method given when buying the little firebird, which is more common in the world of cultivation.
The blood touched the soul-eating mother insect and was successfully absorbed, but Jiang Lan didn't feel anything...
"That's not right. When I contracted the two little guys before, I felt close to them, didn't I?"
"The method is wrong?"
"It seems that I have to ask Elder Lin!"
I have found all the information I should have found before...
Jiang Lan locked the Soul Devouring Mother Worm in an iron cage and asked Xiao Mi to set up a formation to prevent it from running around.
Put some Baixiang rice in the cage.
The next day, Jiang Lan came to the top of the mountain to have tea with Elder Lin and took out the newly harvested Baixiang rice, along with the "Photo Stone".
"You said that this spiritual rice can attract soul devouring insects?"
Lin Zhisheng picked up the Baixiang rice, looked at it carefully, and sniffed it with his nose.
"Yes, didn't I ask for leave from you before..."
"At that time, the Baixiang rice had just been planted and attracted a lot of soul-eating insects. Thanks to Senior Brother Xu for helping me."
"Afterwards, it was Senior Brother Xu who reminded me that this Baixiang rice attracted soul-eating insects. After experiments, it was confirmed that it could attract soul-eating insects!"
"In the future, as long as it is like this... like this..."
Jiang Lan put out the photo stone that recorded the image of cultivating the spiritual field and showed it to Lin Zhisheng.
"Haha, it's a good idea. I didn't expect that the problem that has troubled the cultivation world for many years was actually solved by you!"
"Not bad, not bad, this achievement is enough to reward the 'Second-level Exchange Order'!"
After talking about the business, the matter of the soul-eating mother insect was also mentioned casually.
"You found a special soul-eating insect? Thinking about a contract?"
"Yes, the soul-eating insect responds to the contract, but it seems that my contract method is not very effective, and I can't control it..."
"I heard that Mr. Lin and the master of the Spirit Beast Peak are good friends, hehe..."
"Hehe, I can't handle her, you have to work hard on your own..."
Lin Zhisheng smiled, and then began to introduce the master of the Spirit Beast Peak.
