"Disciple Li Xiu, twenty-four years old, has all five elements of spiritual power. He is in the third level of Qi training period and majors in the gold-plated technique!"
"Disciple Xue Da, seven of them are thirty this year, and all four elements of pseudo-spiritual roots are missing wood! At the sixth level of Qi training period, he majors in moxibustion and fire techniques!"
When Li Xiu introduced himself, he was already the second to last one. Yulingzong took them to a valley.
This valley is a residence specially built for insect-raising disciples, and it is also a place where insect-raising disciples are restricted. Only by completing the insect breeding tasks given by the sect can you leave here and return to the outer gate station.
Sixteen insect-breeding disciples were assigned together, and each of them had a separate stone room. Every ten days, an insect breeding disciple is called to the secret palace in the valley.
Ten days later, when this insect-breeding disciple comes out of the secret palace, he will start practicing in seclusion. There will also be disciples in the valley who will send him several kinds of pills to replenish qi and raise blood.
Li Xiu was the second to last person to enter the secret palace. During this period, Li Xiu once again practiced using the Seven Ghost Soul Devourers. With the help of more than a dozen yellow marrow pills, Li Xiu's magic power finally surpassed the third in the Gilding Technique. The layers of meridians are filled with energy.
After Li Xiu entered the secret palace, he obeyed the request of Master Qi, the foundation-building young man, and asked him to use the immobilization spell on him.
After Li Xiu became motionless, the three foundation-building monks in charge of the Yuling Palace carefully took out a strange insect from a bottle of golden magic weapon.
The whole body of this insect was glowing with silver light. Its body was as big as a fist. The beetle was so broken that the soft shell inside could be seen. A pair of silver wings seemed to be torn into pieces. The broken wings were clearly visible inside the beetle.
The insect's mouth and fangs are long gone, and only one of the six pairs of insect orders is left with an eye that looks like gray stone.
The shape of this insect is just like the one on Li Xiu's token, except that this insect is now as lifeless as a dead insect.
At this moment, Li Xiu's upper body was exposed, and he was lying flat on a stone bed. Circles of runes were carved around his heart. The young man in gray clothes continued to cast spells, and someone beside him placed the dead silver insect at Li Xiu's heart.
Along with the sound of the spell, the silver insect's gray eyes shone brightly, and its only two remaining insect legs penetrated deeply into Li Xiu's flesh.
Li Xiu felt a sharp pain, and his whole body was shaking as if he was being targeted by some terrible creature.
A very sharp and slender soft thorn protrudes from under the insect's mouthparts.
This soft thorn pierced Li Xiu's heart bit by bit, and then the insect and Li Xiu remained motionless as if they were still.
Li Xiu only felt a kind of heartbreaking pain, but his body could not move at all.
The foundation-building young man and the other two foundation-building monks continued to recite incantations and perform secret techniques every day.
The three of them surrounded Li Xiu and performed seven-day secret techniques. Even the foundation-building monks had to occasionally use spiritual stones to restore their mana.
In the past seven days, Li Xiu felt that there was often a pain like electricity entering his heart. If he could see it, he would find that every time he suffered, a little silver light entered his heart from the soft thorns of the insects. .
Seven days later, the foundation-building young man put the strange insect in Li Xiu's heart back into his bottle of gold, and then used the rejuvenation charm to heal the injury on Li Xiu's chest.
The three foundation-building monks continued to cast spells, and spent the next three days writing and drawing on Li Xiu. The spells even made Li Xiu's head grow bigger.
On the tenth day, Li Xiu staggered out of the secret palace. When he returned to the stone room where he lived, a large number of blood-nourishing elixirs were brought in.
Li Xiu will live here for nearly a year. During this period, he must swallow the blood-replenishing elixir sent to him and hatch the insect eggs in his heart until the three foundation-building monks from the Yuling Palace take them away from him. Larvae after hatching.
From the first month, Li Xiu felt changes in himself.
My body became increasingly thin, and I was often on the verge of fainting. If his current state is allowed to develop, he will inevitably be sucked dry of blood by the eggs of the strange insects in his body.
Li Xiu now had plans to use those thirteen bodies.
That night, Li Xiu inspected the stone chamber where he lived. After feeling that there was no problem, he took out two thin bamboo static point tubes that he had prepared.
He took out a body of his own from the backpack compartment and stabbed the artery of the body with a thin bamboo stick, and bright red blood flowed out quickly.
The body is tied to the bamboo tube, and the other end of the bamboo tube is inserted into the blood vessel on the body.
Li Xiu was lying on the ground. He put his body on the bed, and the blood of his copied body flowed into his body bit by bit from the thin bamboo tube.
The blood color was getting a little fuller, but fortunately it was his own blood, so there was no rejection reaction. Li Xiu estimated that he had injected more than 2,000 cc of blood, so he stood up and took off the bamboo tube.
After putting the body back into the backpack compartment and cleaning up the blood stains and the remaining blood in the bamboo tube, Li Xiu lay down on the bed to rest.
In the following days, Li Xiu received two more blood transfusions. The body's ischemia was being replenished. In order not to attract too much attention, Li Xiu did not transfuse too much blood, but maintained the ischemia state.
Li Xiu also took all the blood- and qi-enhancing elixirs on time and at the right time. His condition was not much better than other insect breeding disciples.
…
Time passed by and Li Xiu had lived in Yuling Hall for more than half a year.
The insect-breeding disciples who first hatched spiritual insects had their spiritual insects turned into larvae. At this time, the young mouthparts of the larvae began to eat the flesh and blood of the hearts of these insect-breeding disciples.
This stage is the most painful for insect-raising disciples. If the blood volume in the body is insufficient, the spiritual insects will eat the heart. Among the previous insect-raising disciples, no less than 60% died at this level.
Li Xiu saw with his own eyes two insect-breeding disciples being carried out of the stone room. They were strong and obese people a year ago, but they were already skin and bones when they were carried out.
The spiritual worm larvae in Li Xiu's heart have also grown up. Whenever he feels the slightest pain in his heart, Li Xiu will use his own cloned body for blood transfusion.
On this day, the foundation-building young man in charge of the Spiritual Cultivation Hall came as usual to check on the spirit worms on Li Xiu.
"Uncle Master Wen, how long will it take for me to breed the spirit insect?" Li Xiu asked.
"Li Xiu, you are the luckiest insect-breeding disciple I have ever seen. The spirit insects have not sucked much of your essence and blood, and they are growing well. Did you take any spiritual medicine before?" said the foundation-building young man.
"Before I started practicing, my family owned a medicine shop. I took countless medicines since I was a child! I don't know why?" Li Xiu said perfunctorily.
The young man named Wen Zhuji shook his head, and then said: "When the spirit worms grow armor, the spirit worms living in your body will naturally find a better host, and I will help you take out those spirit worms."
"I also ask Uncle Wen to help me take out the spirit worm as soon as possible!"
