Chapter 182 - 173: Strange Insect List! [5th Update, Request for Monthly Tickets!]
"Guang Yuanzi is proficient in Thunder Skill and Arrays, why is he interested in the Side Door Left Dao of the Seven Insect Immortal Mountain?"
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.
Lin Chao shook his head, "If he had focused on one path, he might have been able to lead the era for over a hundred years. Being distracted with other concerns? He will eventually fade into anonymity."
After instructing Yu Yangzi to withdraw, Lin Chao continued his seclusion and cultivation.
Since Guang Yuanzi was neglecting his duties, he naturally had to work even harder and strive for rapid improvement before the era of the True Immortals arrived in the Changqing Realm, aiming to seize more benefits!
...
The outside world was noisy, filled with discussions.
Another battle achievement added to Soul Searching Guangyuan attracted the sidelong glances of many cultivators, causing all the Reincarnated True Immortals to wonder and feel slightly apprehensive.
Lu Qingfeng paid no heed to the turbulent era.
After obtaining the Insect Control Technique from the Seven Insect Immortal Mountain, he headed back to General Ridge.
[Cultivation Technique: Strange Insect Heart Scripture]
[Grade: Side Door Level]
[Description: Authored by the Thunder Department’s Qu Wen Zhan Jing Lei General, the supreme inheritance of the Seven Insect Immortal Mountain, documenting 7,269 types of spiritual insects’ characteristics and habits, including the methods to cultivate and tame 3,012 types of spiritual insects]
"Strange Insect Heart Scripture."
Lu Qingfeng checked the attribute panel, flipped his hand, and a scroll of cultivation technique landed in his hand—the Strange Insect Heart Scripture.
This was the foundational grand method of the Seven Insect Immortal Mountain.
Not only did it record detailed information on over seven thousand spiritual insects, including their characteristics and habits, but it also encompassed the methods to cultivate and tame three thousand of them.
Although most of these were ordinary spiritual insects, about three hundred could be termed as strange insects.
Even ordinary spiritual insects, if cultivated properly and formed on a large scale, could enable cultivators to traverse the mortal realm effortlessly.
Among over seven thousand spiritual insects, the 365 most powerful and bizarre ones were termed as ’strange insects’. Even in the Strange Insect Heart Scripture, these 365 strange insects were ranked.
Called the ’Strange Insect List’.
Blood Jade Centipedes and Red-tailed Earth Scorpions that Lu Qingfeng fought in the insect cave built by Chang Qi in the Seven Insect Immortal Mountain were all listed on the ’Strange Insect List’. Although they were at the bottom, they were not to be underestimated.
It was only that Chang Qi’s time of sacrifice and cultivation was insufficient, and the scale was still small.
Otherwise, thousands of Red-tailed Earth Scorpions, capable of burrowing and containing strange poison, swarming over would throw even Lu Qingfeng into disarray.
The Blood Jade Centipedes could even affect the cultivator’s bodily essence and catch one off guard.
However, compared to these two strange insects, the immature Nine Yin Miasma Bee ranked higher and was even more formidable.
[Strange Insect: Nine Yin Miasma Bee]
[Grade: Ranked 96th on the Strange Insect List]
[Description: Born in the Nine Yin Land, an ancient mutated bee species, black-purple in color, swarming, can spray purple miasma gas, instantly killing those stuck by it. Its tail’s Nine Yin Bee Stinger is even feared by the Heavenly Immortals.]
The grade of a spiritual insect cannot be evaluated by common standards or fixed cultivations.
Depending on the conditions of growth, environment, resources, etc., the final result for the same type of spiritual insect can be vastly different. Moreover, since spiritual insects usually swarm, the grade of a single spiritual insect cannot measure the power of a swarm.
But the fact that Nine Yin Miasma Bee is ranked 96th on the Strange Insect List is enough to prove its fearsomeness.
"I didn’t expect Chang Qi to have such an opportunity, to find and successfully cultivate one of the top hundred ranked strange insects."
Lu Qingfeng flipped his palm, revealing seven or eight insect eggs emitting a faint vitality.
This was what Lu Qingfeng obtained from Chang Qi’s insect cave after slaying him. As for the already hatched Nine Yin Miasma Bees, they had been tamed by Chang Qi. Erasing Chang Qi’s imprint and retaming them would be too strenuous for Lu Qingfeng.
He simply chose to kill all the hatched Nine Yin Miasma Bees and collected the eggs to try cultivating them in the future.
After inspecting the Nine Yin Miasma Bee eggs for a while, Lu Qingfeng finally stored them away and then flipped through the Strange Insect Heart Scripture he held.
His purpose in going to the Seven Insect Immortal Mountain to obtain the technique was not to cultivate strange insects in a game, but to find the methods to cultivate and tame the Iron Fire Ants.
"Iron Fire Ants—"
Lu Qingfeng scrutinized one by one, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Found it."
[Strange Insect: Iron Fire Ant]
[Grade: 99th on the Strange Insect List]
[Description: A ferocious insect that lives in groups, survives under harsh conditions, impervious to swords and spells, immune to most magic, capable of spewing black flames and morphing collectively]
"99th place!"
Lu Qingfeng was thrilled.
This ranking was only a few places below the Nine Yin Miasma Bee and also within the top hundred of the Strange Insect List, it seemed that he had stumbled upon a treasure.
He looked carefully.
In the "Strange Insect Heart Scripture," not only were various details of the Iron Fire Ant recorded, but the latter part also included methods of nurturing and taming the Iron Fire Ant.
"Perfect!"
Lu Qingfeng was overjoyed upon seeing this.
Although he felt that the Changqing Realm, with heritage from the Upper Realm, would have a more comprehensive and powerful Insect Control Technique, there was no known method in reality for cultivating and taming Iron Fire Ants, and it was uncertain whether such a method existed in the game.
Lu Qingfeng was merely trying on a tentative basis.
The final result was unexpectedly delightful, and Lu Qingfeng was also relieved.
With the Magic Gate now available, in reality, he could finally incubate the two Iron Fire Ant Eggs and proceed with their cultivation and taming. If he could refine a simplified version of the Purple Bell in reality, perhaps in a few years, he could continuously harvest a substantial amount of Refining Crystals.
At that time, not only for refining Array Plates but also other Magic Artifacts, he could incorporate refining crystals to enhance the quality.
Not only that.
Iron Fire Ants are inherently ferocious insects, ranked 99th on the Strange Insect List. Once he could cultivate them on a large scale, Lu Qingfeng would also have an extra ace up his sleeve in reality.
"It’s just a pity that even in the Changqing Realm, Iron Fire Ants are rare. Hastily, although the Insect Control Technique was found, Iron Fire Ants are difficult to locate. I can only become familiar with the ’Strange Insect Heart Scripture’ and carefully cultivate them in reality."
Lu Qingfeng thought to himself.
Iron Fire Ants, being among the top hundred ranked ferocious insects in the Strange Insect List, are hard to find in the Changqing Realm.
If they were easy to find, Chang Qi would have already gotten them.
Thus, the idea of cultivating Iron Fire Ants in the game to accumulate experience for reality was not feasible.
However, fortunately, the difficulty in cultivating spiritual insects lies in the collection and refining of Insect Food, as well as the lengthy process. Specifically, cultivation and taming are actually not difficult.
Therefore.
Lu Qingfeng returned to General Ridge and started to improve his proficiency in refining Iron Fire Ant Insect Food and cultivating the "Strange Insect Heart Scripture".
He was also refining the Purple Insect Bell, striving to decode it as soon as possible.
Time flew quickly in the game.
In reality.
Lu Qingfeng was also preparing.
...
Sky Pit Mine.
This is a natural mine, containing common metals such as copper and iron.
Originally under the control of Luoxia Sect, it was later seized by the Red Rainbow Sect. Following the destruction of the Red Rainbow Sect, the Sky Pit Mine returned to the control of Luoxia Sect.
That day.
Lu Qingfeng arrived riding on the Iron Feathered Flying Eagle.
Lu Qingyu came riding a crane, landing beside her elder brother, "This is the Sky Pit Mine."
