As the twelfth-ranked top spiritual insect on the strange insect rankings, the gold-eating insect has a terrifying bloodline talent. It eats almost everything except jade and wood.
However, this does not mean that it eats whatever it sees. After all, it is a life, and it also has its own preferences. It especially likes to eat other spiritual insects, and is good at swallowing hardware and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
It can be seen that these three are its favorites and the most beneficial to its growth. In the Yuling Sect's records about the Gold-Eating Insect, it was also mentioned that the predecessors mainly prepared and fed the previous two things as the recipe for its evolution, and at the same time tried to keep it in an environment rich in the aura of heaven and earth.
In essence, spirit insects are the same as large monster beasts, and the blood of monster beasts naturally meets the requirements. Now when encountering the refined demon blood, it is even more metallic, which naturally arouses the gold-eating insect's desire to devour.
In just a blink of an eye, the metallic demon blood was eaten up. However, the effect is a bit strange, and there seems to be no obvious change.
Seeing such a result, Mo Juren couldn't help but frown slightly and thought to himself, shouldn't it be? The anxiety and impatience shown by the gold-eating insect just now are enough to show its desire for the original blood.
Could it be because the level of the bloodline is too low? Or is the blood volume too low?
If you think about it carefully, it is really possible. This insect has evolved several times in Han Li's hands, and it is very likely that it has exceeded the category of a second-level monster.
As for the specific level, it is difficult to determine. After all, the talent of the gold-eating insect is too powerful and cannot be judged by common sense. Even if the actual level is not high, the strength is far higher than that of the same level.
After thinking about it, there was another flash of light in his hand, and he took out a jade bottle that was half a foot tall. With slight shaking, almost the same volume of demon blood broke open the cork and floated in mid-air.
These were specially purchased when we were in Chaotic Star Sea, and there are many in the Ten Thousand Soul Gourd.
It's just different from the previous demon blood. Although the jade bottle contains the same second-level metallic demon blood, it has not been refined yet and contains a large amount of impurities and evil spirits of demon beasts.
Sure enough, facing the same second-level metallic demon blood, this time the gold-eating insect showed little interest and seemed too lazy to pay attention to it.
Without saying anything, he directly ordered it to devour it, and the gold-eating insects were very obedient and without hesitation, they swarmed up to eat every drop of it as before.
Seeing this, Mo Juren began to think deeply again.
With the terrifying talent of the Gold-eating Insect, it seems that even demon blood that has not been refined can still be digested. Probably the only difference is the degree of liking, and nothing else.
At least at this stage, you can't see the difference. Doesn't that mean that you don't need to spend so much money to refine the demon blood, and you can just feed it together with other resources.
But is this really the case? Even thinking about it seems impossible.
The impurities and evil spirits contained in demon blood are often more than 70 to 80%, and the pure origin is very small. After refining and removing the essentials, it is obviously impossible to be the same, but the effect is not visible yet.
Because of the terrifying talent of the Gold-eating Insect, even if it swallows demon blood containing a large amount of dross, it will not show any discomfort at all. However, there is no guarantee that there will be no impact, and it may even become the key to slowing down its evolution.
Just like those two golden silkworms, if they were fed unrefined demon blood, they would probably die immediately.
In order to verify his guess, his mind moved again, and the auxiliary light curtain emerged.
He reached out and clicked on the material library, and suddenly a huge red blood ball with a diameter of several feet and as hot and thick as magma emerged.
This time it was also not the blood of the original demon, not even the second level, but the blood of the sixth level fire attribute monster lava lion. Because it has not been refined, the blood contains extremely violent energy. As soon as Fang appears, the scorching temperature spreads. If he hadn't used his magic power to seal off the surrounding area in time, the entire room would have been destroyed instantly.
There is a large amount of high-level monster blood stored in the material library, which he cannot use up and has no time to process. Now it is just for experiments.
Just as he expected, even in the face of such violent high-level monster blood, and it was of fire attribute, the gold-eating insect still swallowed it without any discomfort, and did not show any discomfort.
What's even more shocking is that the blood far exceeds the size of a hundred gold-eating insects, but it's all been swallowed up, as if there are bottomless pits inside the small body.
Mo Juren couldn't help but sigh at the magic of the Gold-Eating Insect's talent, which was already close to some kind of law of heaven and earth. If it were other spirit insects or monsters, faced with demon blood that clearly exceeded their own level, they wouldn't dare to get close, let alone swallow them.
By this time, he had a general idea, and he immediately began to think about the next cultivation method.
In fact, it’s not that complicated, there are only two types.
The first is that according to the inheritance records left by the Yuling Sect, the traditional method of cultivating this insect is similar to the cultivation method of the Tutu people on the grassland.
The advantage is that there are traces to follow, as long as you follow the prescribed steps and customize the feeding recipes in time and quantity at each stage.
The disadvantages are obvious. One is that it requires a lot of resources, and the other is that it takes a long time, even hundreds of thousands of years, and it is impossible to cultivate it to maturity.
This method obviously doesn't work, and Mo Juren doesn't have that much time and energy to waste.
The second method is to feed only the original demon blood like his previous plan. After all, the evolution of demon beasts is ultimately about the purification of blood and the improvement of the origin. However, this method is just a conjecture. Whether it works or not is still unknown and needs to be explored slowly.
After thinking briefly for a moment, he immediately decided to choose the second option. No matter whether he could succeed or not, he would still give it a try.
Moreover, he will only use these one hundred gold-eating insects to test, which can greatly reduce the consumption of resources. Even if it fails, it will not be too late to change to other methods.
…
Time passed slowly, and months passed in the blink of an eye.
As the big trade fair gradually approaches, more and more monks come to Tiantian City, and even the countless streets outside the city are still overcrowded.
The proportion of high-level monks among them is terrifying. Only the Nascent Soul stage strongmen have occupied 70% of a large VIP building specially built in the city.
As for the monks in the pill-forming stage and the foundation-building stage, they can be seen everywhere, and they are too numerous to count.
This is a well-deserved top event, and it also witnesses the prosperity of today's spiritual practice world.
During this period, Mo Juren often went out, mainly to discuss with Wanlinglou about the promotion of the ten thousand year elixir. As for Jiutian Merchant Alliance's head office, Jiutian Pavilion, that part was left to Ye Xiyue. He doesn't have to worry about it.
It has to be said that An Yuru is able to become the owner of Wanlinglou's branch in Tiantian City, both in terms of her own strength and her business ability.
Under his careful arrangement, it took only a dozen days to spread the information related to the ten thousand year elixir throughout Tiannan, including the request of Mo Juren, the master of the elixir, and so on.
Such breaking news instantly ignited the entire Tiannan cultivation world. Countless Nascent Soul stage powerhouses who had not originally planned to participate in this grand trade fair changed their plans and all came to Tiantian City.
There are so many top experts, and more than 120 ten-year-old elixirs are simply not enough. You can imagine how fierce the competition will be by then.
In this regard, Mo Juren is naturally happy to see the success, or this is one of his purposes. The more people come, the richer the resources they bring, and the value of the elixir can be pushed to an extremely high position.
Among the monks who came to the Nascent Soul stage, they naturally included the elders of the Yuling Sect, the ancestor Xuanyuan, Dongmen Tu, Feng Ziling, the leader of the Wanling Merchant Alliance, and so on.
In addition, the ancestors of the Han family also rushed over after learning about this matter. They wanted to buy one or two elixirs, but more because they felt that the matter was serious and they were worried that Mo Juren alone would not be able to suppress it. Array, here to help.
How could Mo Juren not be prepared for the arrival of the Nascent Soul stage elders? The quantity of elixirs that An Yuru was told before was already discounted, and the purpose was naturally for today.
After everyone met, he directly revealed the information about all the elixirs in his hand to everyone, and promised everyone on the spot to receive one for free, and they could choose independently.
Such a generous act made him, who had already been listed as a key target of attention by the elders, receive more attention.
"It was previously rumored that your strength is comparable to that of a strong person in the early stage of Nascent Soul? Is this true?" In a certain VIP building, Dongmen Tu, wearing a green robe, fumbled for the jade box in his hand and looked at Mo Juren asked.
"Rumors are just rumors after all, and they are often exaggerated. In fact, whether he escaped from Ma Qiankun in Lingfeng Kingdom or the previous battle with Master Mu Lan, it was all because of the help of Zhenren. Otherwise, it will be another ending." Mo Juren did not completely lie, the battle in Lingfeng Kingdom was indeed a close call. Time has changed, and he is naturally different from what he used to be. He was ambushed by the Mulan people before, and he was the leader from the beginning to the end.
"Even so, it is not easy. At least it can compete with the early stage monks of Nascent Soul." Although it was much worse than the rumors, Dongmen Tu was not disappointed at all. He still nodded with satisfaction, his eyes sparkling even more. To express recognition.
At the same time, he suddenly turned to look at another white-haired old man not far away who was sitting upright and silent. The latter nodded slightly, then straightened his expression and continued,
"Before departure, Senior Brother Xuanyuan and I discussed your matter carefully. In view of your excellent qualifications, as well as your achievements and performance over the years, we finally made a decision. That is to wait until the end of this conference. , after returning to the sect, you will be promoted to the supreme elder of this sect."
"What!" After hearing this, not only Mo Juren, but also Han Zhuo who was accompanying him also showed an expression of disbelief. The elders the other party was referring to were naturally not the deacons and elders in the alchemy stage of the various temples in the sect, but the supreme elders that only Nascent Soul stage monks could serve as. Even though it was prepared, it still broke the rules a bit.
"Don't be too surprised. With your excellent qualifications and strong potential, you should be focused on training by the sect. If you really ignore it and send it away at will, wouldn't it make outsiders laugh at the Yuling Sect's waste of natural resources? What's more, you yourself have already With the strength to compete with the early Yuanying monks, it makes sense to become a preparatory elder." Dongmen Tu smiled slightly and continued,
"The reason why it is preparation is to stop Youyou from talking about it. When you break through the Nascent Soul stage, you can directly turn into a formal elder. In addition, you can rest assured that even if you are a preparation, your treatment and power will be the same as those of a formal elder. no difference."
"The two elders are so kind to each other, and I am deeply grateful. I will work harder to practice in the future and do my best to carry forward our Yuling Sect." Mo Juren immediately stood up and bowed, and said seriously.
This sudden unexpected joy was something he didn't expect, and the benefits of becoming a Supreme Elder are self-evident. Not to mention other aspects, just being able to unconditionally enter many real secret places within the sect is a great benefit. .
The Yuling Sect has been inherited for endless years and has too many unknown trump cards. Those are the real treasures, such as the secret pavilion within the sect and the Talisman Burial Valley that was allowed to enter because of its merits in the past.
If you are just a disciple, you will naturally need to make enough achievements to obtain the short-term qualification to enter, and the rewards will naturally not be satisfactory. It's different if you switch to the status of Supreme Elder. All restrictions will be lifted and you can come and go at will.
The other thing is identity, status and corresponding power. Only by becoming the Supreme Elder can one be considered the true core within the sect, and also have the qualifications to be "unique" and can develop the power of one's own faction openly.
Han Zhuo on the side was even more delighted. The Spirit Beast Mountain lineage was originally headed by Ancestor Chiling and him, but now there is another person, the son-in-law of the Han family, which really makes people happy.
Not only that, the girl from the Gu family has also reached the peak of the late stage of pill formation and is currently in retreat. If nothing happens, she will be a strong person in the Nascent Soul stage.
As a result, the Spirit Beast Mountain lineage has completely risen. At least in the future, when facing many veteran Nascent Soul stage powerhouses within the sect, they will not be so passive, and their right to speak will also increase accordingly.
While Mo Juren was overjoyed, he thought of something else. He didn't know how Gu Shuangpu would feel after learning about this. He would most likely be depressed to the point of vomiting blood, right?
Not only will it be impossible to suppress it with the advantage of status in the future, but of course it was also impossible to suppress it in the first place. More importantly, his position within the sect became stronger and stronger.
Among them, Dongmen Tu's support is particularly crucial. As the future helmsman of Yuling Sect, its importance can be imagined.
But he was Gu Shuangpu's real supporter. Such an action would inevitably make the latter accept it happily even if he felt uncomfortable.
After continuing to discuss some trivial matters, Mo Juren and Han Zhuo said goodbye and left together. Only Patriarch Xuanyuan and Dongmen Tu were left in the hall.
Looking at the closed door, the smiles on their faces disappeared and turned serious.
