Chapter 26: Strange insect, golden thug!
When the shopkeeper saw Bai Tian took out a thousand-year-old elixir without hesitation, and it was a freshly picked high-quality treasure, his face immediately lit up with joy.
Double check that there is no problem.
Finally, we know what the valuable eggs of ancient strange insects are.
"Very good! You do have the ability to buy rare ancient insects. Here is a detailed introduction to the insects. You must buy at least one pair to have a chance to fulfill your wish."
The shopkeeper said with a satisfied look on his face.
Then he took out an ancient booklet from his storage bag and placed it on the table, and then continued to happily check out the fresh thousand-year-old elixir.
I think I have good luck today and will make a big deal.
Although the thousand-year-old elixir is not particularly scarce in Dajin, it will trigger a scramble every time it appears. If you buy it, you will make a profit. It is a business that is sure to make money.
Bai Tian took the booklet in his hand and looked at it carefully with curiosity on his face.
Suddenly, my heart was shaken!
"The Sky Devouring Insect, ranked eleventh on the Ancient Insect List, is even rarer and more powerful than the Gold Devouring Insect. When cultivated to a high level, it can not only devour the sky with all the insects, but also break through space formations!"
After a careful examination during the day, although there was no expression on his face, his heart was already in turmoil.
The gold-eating bugs are already particularly manic, and there are ancient strange bugs that are more powerful than the sky-eating bugs. Dajin is worthy of being a holy place for cultivation, and it actually has such a heaven-defying treasure.
However, it is very difficult to cultivate the Sky-Eating Insect.
The hatching process alone takes nearly a thousand years, so one young egg is worth a thousand-year-old elixir, which is equivalent to bartering. No matter how many spiritual stones you have, it will not be sold.
And there must be a male and female pair to reproduce and break the formation.
This insect not only eats everything in the world, but can also find and chew on the barriers of formations. It is a super powerful existence with both offensive and defensive capabilities, and is even more powerful than the gold-eating insect.
However, the thousand years of incubation are just the beginning.
The slow growth time afterwards is even more incredible. If there is no shortage of spirit stones, it will take 10,000 years to advance to the foundation-building level.
The time required to advance to the Golden Core stage doubles to 20,000 years, and advancing to the Nascent Soul stage requires 40,000 years of patient waiting.
It is almost impossible for ordinary monks to cultivate a mature form.
Don't even think about it!
Only large sects with a long history have the opportunity to obtain a few high-level Sky-Devouring Worms.
Fortunately, there is a time panel during the day.
The biggest problem for monks is time, but there is no obstacle in the daytime. As long as they are alive, they can earn countless time, and after advancing to the God Transformation stage, they will have a time multiplier of thirty times.
At that time, it was much easier to cultivate the Sky Devouring Worm. As long as there were enough spirit stones, it would be easy to directly raise the young eggs to the Spiritual Transformation Realm!
Although he was very happy in his heart during the day, his expression was gloomy.
"Boss, you're trying to trick me? It takes a thousand years just to hatch. Do you think I can wait? I withdraw my transaction request."
Bai Tian, who didn't want to arouse suspicion, looked extremely unhappy at the moment, as if he was filled with boundless anger after being cheated.
What does it mean to question the shopkeeper?
Are you lying to kids?
After hearing this, the shopkeeper blushed and smiled awkwardly.
Fortunately, he was thick-skinned and recovered quickly.
"Don't worry, my friend! I think you have great luck and will definitely be able to cultivate to the Spiritual Transformation Realm. Then, won't the strange insect hatch?"
"Just think about it, if you continue to cultivate after ascending to the upper realm, you will defeat all the powerful beings in the upper realm and become the master of the spiritual world!"
The shopkeeper spoke nonsense in a serious tone.
Others are just making empty promises, but the shopkeeper of Huafu directly draws the lord of the spirit world. His imagination is extremely broad.
He looks like he's easy to deceive during the day.
"Forget it, forget it. I might as well switch to Foundation Building Pills."
Bai Tian said, put away the treasure box and turned to leave, but how could the shopkeeper let the thousand-year-old elixir run away? He hurriedly stopped Bai Tian and coaxed him like an ancestor.
After much negotiation, we finally reached a deal.
Three thousand-year-old elixirs in exchange for four young eggs of the sky-devouring strange insect.
The transaction was completed. Bai Tian hesitated and wanted to go back on his word, but was directly coaxed out of the door by the shopkeeper.
Signaled to the waiter to see the customer out quickly.
The shopkeeper stretched his neck and saw that Bai Tian had finally left. He sat on the chair and happily checked the thousand-year-old elixir.
"Young people are still easy to fool! I finally sold four rare insect eggs that no one wanted. I will definitely get praise from the leader when I go back!"
The shopkeeper thought he had made a fortune and had a smug look on his face as if his conspiracy had succeeded.
Little did they know that the one who made the most money was during the day.
Ranked eleventh on the list of strange insects, with a strange insect more powerful than the gold-eating insect in hand, he was already overjoyed during the day and flew at full speed and disappeared without a trace.
Not long after leaving during the day, Wang Chan finally entered the private room.
The shopkeeper had a bad impression of this guy.
The lukewarm tone of his words made Wang Chan so angry that he almost lost his temper on the spot!
After returning safely to Huangfeng Valley, he sat in the stone house during the day and looked at four golden insect eggs the size of eggs, his face full of joy.
It takes a thousand years to hatch?
The slow growth process is useless here during the day. Apart from spirit stones, the thing that is least lacking is time.
After getting the strange insect, it will naturally hatch quickly during the day. This insect can devour anything and is the strongest means to break the ancient formation, so it must be cultivated as soon as possible.
Open the booklet and read it carefully, keeping the hatching method in mind.
In fact, there is no unique method. It is similar to hatching golden-backed mantises during the day. If there is a very effective secret recipe, the price of the Heaven-Devouring Insect will definitely be higher than this, and no one will even sell it. The seller has only cultivated it to the Golden Core level, and there is not a single one in the Nascent Soul stage.
Place four golden young eggs on the soft spiritual grass, then use magic to force out four drops of heart blood, which are dropped on each golden insect egg one by one, and then mutter something.
With the help of special spells, four drops of blood magically penetrated into the insect eggs, leaving no trace on the eggshell.
Repeat this process for seven days and lose twenty-eight drops of heart blood. During the day, let the strange insects recognize their master for the second time, set up the formation and perform the soul ritual.
Three days passed, and a weak spiritual connection was finally established with the four young eggs.
Next comes the formal hatching.
Hatching requires a lot of spirit stones, but fortunately they were prepared during the day.
In order to prevent a shortage of spirit stones, two hundred spirit stones are placed around each young egg during the day.
Then he said softly:
"A thousand years!"
In an instant, a shocking scene happened.
I saw a colorful light shooting out from his hand like a colorful ribbon, instantly covering the first Sky-Devouring Worm egg.
After a moment, a colorful bubble the size of a head wrapped around the eggs, and it was impossible to see what was happening inside during the day.
The same operation was performed on the second young egg. Soon, four colored bubbles emitted colorful light and wrapped the insect egg.
All that's left is waiting.
Seven days later.
"Two hundred spirit stones are not enough for one insect egg? This one is just hatching! Is it possible to swallow spirit stones like this?"
It was discovered that a total of eight hundred spirit stones disappeared, and they were hurriedly replenished during the day. Seven days later, eight hundred spirit stones disappeared again, but the eleventh-ranked Sky-Devouring Insect still could not be hatched.
Add spirit stones again.
After three rounds, the golden eggshell finally broke.
Four legendary ancient insects crawled out of the golden eggshell with a faint squeak. Then they ate the eggshell, staggered on the soft spiritual grass, and slowly crawled towards the day.
Witness the true appearance of the Sky-Devouring Insect with your own eyes, it is exactly the same as the picture in the booklet.
I was very happy during the day.
He discovered that each strange insect had eight legs covered with spikes, and its forelimbs were similar to crab claws.
They look like pliers, but they are actually two sharp big mouths covered with sharp and glittering teeth, which are very scary and chilling.
The body is divided into two parts.
The front part belongs to the torso, with thick forelimbs and a weird mouth.
The hind half of the body is similar to a rectangle with smoothed edges, also about the size of two thumbs put together.
Two crystal wings grow here, and the closed wings cover the back, fitting together like a whole. If you don't look carefully, you won't know they are wings.
Under the hard wings, there is a layer of wings as translucent as a thin film. It is said that when the wings are flapped, a golden whirlwind can be blown up to attack a large area of enemies.
Under the wings is a very hard belly, and there are two equally tight channels at the tail.
One lays eggs, the other excretes.
However, they are all very hard and not afraid of water or fire. Legend has it that gold-eating bugs cannot chew through the body of the sky-eating bugs. Of course, it is another matter if there are too many gold-eating bugs.
The most eye-catching place during the day.
Instead, there are two fingertip-sized heads on the front torso.
The head is actually also the eyes.
The eyes of the Sky-Eating Worm are very special. They are extremely hard spheres that cannot be damaged by ordinary treasures.
The ancient monks gave these two amber eyeballs a nice name.
It's called "Paveway".
It implies that the eyeballs are as beautiful as gems, and can detect any formation. Then they can gnaw on it to break through the formation barrier and find a way to leave or enter.
Thus, the two eyes were given the title of "Paveway".
Except for their eyes, the entire bodies of the four ancient strange insects emit a golden pearl-like glow.
Like a fine handicraft.
The colors are bright and beautiful.
Who would have thought that beneath such a good-looking appearance, there is actually extremely dangerous combat power hidden.
A total gold-clad thug!
The only drawback is that the Sky Devouring Bug cannot lay eggs before the Golden Core. Even if it lays eggs, the number is not large, and the combat power in the early stage is not as good as the overwhelming Gold Devouring Bug. If you want to be a real insect demon, you must get the Gold Devouring Bug.
He would not be so cruel as to not continue the training during the day and wait until the full moon of the strange insects. Besides, he did not know how long it would take to improve, so he had to wait until the bloody trial was over.
Besides, there are not many spirit stones in stock, so I must get some first.
I left the mountain gate during the day and headed towards the market. Not long after I left, I heard a shout from behind.
"Hello, Senior Brother Bai, are you going out too?"
When Bai Tian turned around, he saw that it was Han Li!
What a coincidence.
This was the first time he had seen Han Old Devil since Han Li joined the sect.
