"Click..."
The remaining gray eggs of spiritual insects cracked open one after another. In just a few breaths, sixty or seventy black strange insects appeared in front of Chen Mo. For a while, there was a loud buzzing sound in the room.
Among this group of insects, the most conspicuous one is the cloud crystal insect with pale golden wings.
Chen Mo concentrated his mind and shrouded his consciousness. The next moment, the tiny figure of the Cloud Crystal Insect King followed his instructions and made a small circle in the air, then landed smoothly on the table. superior.
"Let all the cloud crystal insects fly."
Chen Mo passed this information to the Cloud Crystal Insect King, who quickly responded. A small black and white insect cloud instantly floated in the room, waiting for the leader's next order.
And their leader is currently lying on the table, waiting for his master to give orders.
"good...."
When Chen Mo saw this, his eyes showed some satisfaction.
This is the advantage of the insect swarm with the insect king. Unlike the fireflies that are resold to Lan Xiuxiu, driving them only requires a small part of the spiritual consciousness, which greatly benefits the user.
No wonder Long Xuehan would use it as his trump card.
Each mature cloud crystal insect has the strength of the tenth level of Qi refining. The insect body is invulnerable and extremely tough. It is not afraid of any spell attack except the ice attribute. It is a rare and precious spiritual insect below the foundation building stage.
Of course, its disadvantages are also obvious, that is, the life span of cloud crystal insects is extremely short. From birth to natural death, it only lasts for more than ten years.
Only the female Cloud Crystal Insect King can hatch the next batch of spiritual insect eggs in its mature body. It seems that Chen Mo is unlucky. The Cloud Crystal Insect King in his hand is male and cannot be a continuous help in Chen Mo's hands. .
The newly born cloud crystal insect's cultivation level is too low to be of much use, and it needs to be fed for a period of time before it can be used. This was already explained by Long Xuehan when he gave Chen Mo the insect repelling method.
Fortunately, cloud crystal insects only feed on common medicinal herbs in the world of cultivation. They are also sold in Hengfu County, so they are not too difficult to find.
Thinking of the scene where he waved his hand and the overwhelming swarm of insects pounced on the enemy, killing them endlessly, Chen Mo couldn't help but feel hot in his heart.
After sharing the spiritual grass bought in advance to the newly born cloud crystal insects, they fell into a deep sleep again. Chen Mo put the temporarily useless trump card into a special spirit beast bag and stopped caring about it.
No matter how good the things in the world are, they have to go through a process of growth, not just spiritual insects, but people as well.
Chen Mo spread out a map of Luofeng Valley on the table. His planned evacuation route was densely drawn on the parchment, and the final exit pointed to the entrance of Luofeng Valley.
"I have already analyzed it. After entering the valley, there is no other exit. We can only go back the same way. If there are monks setting up an ambush there, or mastering the entrance passage, everyone will be trapped in the urn and have nowhere to escape."
This was what troubled Chen Mo the most. He couldn't think of any reason for anyone to take action. He just simply felt that something was wrong.
Is it possible that Li Tianlong wants to kill them all for blood sacrifice? It's impossible. If he is really that crazy, all the righteous sects in the Seven Kingdoms will definitely not let him go.
"There is still no news from the master. There is a high probability that he is in danger there and cannot make it back. Do I still want to participate in the Luofeng Valley competition tomorrow..."
...
Compared with the neglect and depression of Hengfu County, Luofeng Valley finally ushered in its moment of glory. Tens of thousands of monks gathered in this valley with great momentum.
The foundation-building monks who used to disappear between the two counties could no longer suppress their loneliness. Every time they appeared in the valley intentionally or unintentionally, they could elicit exclamations of surprise.
The place where Senior Yuanying Master Li discussed Taoism was in the center of Luofeng Valley. Around here, two competition locations were built, an open space for alchemy and an arena for competition.
There were too many monks going to Luofeng Valley. More than 200,000 monks gathered together, and no one could really watch over them. For a time, plundering and robbery occurred frequently, and the order in the valley was in chaos even before the discussion began. Fortunately, Li Tianlong quickly sent three monks in the alchemy stage to sit in the crowd, and they were able to stabilize the crowd that was about to riot.
With this happening, the monks who wanted to make another fortune by taking advantage of the customer flow of cultivators and the special venue gave up their intention of setting up stalls, and instead came to the center of Luofeng Valley by chance, ready to listen. Senior Li’s practice experience.
Of course, before that, there will be a wonderful competition between two groups of geniuses.
As a woman, Zhao Linglong's intuition has always been accurate. Although the situation in Luofeng Valley was calm, she always felt a little panicked and worried for no reason. This became even more serious after hearing that neither Chen Mo nor the red-haired man came. .
"What? No. 76 didn't come?"
Zhao Linglong said in surprise: "This is the final competition. It's understandable that Zhao Ping won't come. He's just going through the motions. But No. 76 is so powerful that the monk who has the best chance of winning the competition actually abstained?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?" Changsun Xinling on the side said helplessly: "Isn't this good? As long as I deal with Ji Ming, Senior Li's true disciple will be you, and God is helping you. Busy!"
Zhao Linglong remained silent.
As time went by, more and more monks came to watch the ceremony, from a few hundred to several thousand at the beginning. In the end, more than 100,000 cultivators gathered here, and the number continued to increase. The noise was deafening. There was a lot of talk.
"Huh? Where's the red-haired devil? Why didn't the red-haired devil come?"
"Why are there only eight people here for the ring competition?"
"There's nothing interesting about this!"
...
Everyone was talking to each other, but most of them didn't understand the alchemy side. Apart from commenting on the figure and appearance of the only woman, Zheng Lu, they had nothing else to say.
In fact, those who were really interested in the competition sat in the front row closest to the ring. The other monks were not interested in watching the battle. For them, building a network with other monks was the most important thing.
Although cultivators are powerful and have powers beyond mortals, they are constantly fighting against the way of heaven. Sitting there and cultivating, even if they have a lifespan of more than a hundred years, is not very practical.
The territory of the Seven Kingdoms is vast, and casual cultivators are no better than sect disciples, and there are very few opportunities to communicate on weekdays. If we don't take advantage of this perfect opportunity to communicate, are we going to have to wait until the next ten years after the meeting is over to talk again?
"Yang Ergou, I didn't expect you to come here too!"
"Old Ghost Zhao, what are you talking about? Is this your home?"
"Hmph, stop talking nonsense! You stole fifty spiritual stones five years ago when I was not at home. Let's settle this account!"
"Okay, then I also want to settle with you what happened when you left me and escaped alone! What does it mean if I take some spiritual stones from you?"
.....
"Tian Fairy, I didn't expect that you have already reached the eleventh level of Qi refining!"
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Li's cultivation is not bad either. I am just a pure luck."
"Fairy, don't be too modest. Li has a secret map of a treasure land. I wonder if I can cooperate with him?"
...
Some old friends were reminiscing about the past, some enemies were extremely jealous when they met, and some monks were selling their products in the crowd, speaking long and eloquent words.
Just as the discussion on the field reached its peak again, a middle-aged monk wearing a white robe appeared in everyone's sight and slowly sat on the mat in the center.
The old man Jie Dan who was presiding over the competition hurriedly walked a few steps forward and came forward to salute: "Greetings to Senior Li!"
Li Tianlong, a casual cultivator in the early stage of Yuanying, is nearly 800 years old this year! !
The scene became quiet within a few breaths. The hundreds of thousands of monks led by some who were willing to show off, and after adjusting, they all shouted loudly: "Greetings to Senior Li!"
"Meet Senior Li!!"
Wan Xiu worships! Whether it was sincere or not, the more than 200,000 monks present shouted one sentence in unison, and the scene was extremely shocking!
"Thank you for your hard work, my friends. The competition is about to begin. After it is over, I will begin to answer your doubts about practice..."
"Thank you, Senior Li!"
"Senior Li is really a role model for monks of our generation! I, Kang Wanjia, pay my respects!"
...
Then several more monks in the alchemy stage appeared and completely took control of the scene. In a passionate atmosphere, the competition between the two groups began under the watchful eyes of Li Tianlong.
As Changsun Xinling expected, the red-haired man was absent, and without the most important person, Zhao Linglong had no obstacles in his way. Along the way, apart from the difficult fight with Ji Ming, the other monks defeated them very neatly.
Compared with the fighting scenes we saw in Beihuang County before, the scenes adapted here were a little less eye-catching, which greatly disappointed many of the monks who were watching.
In the end, Zhao Linglong won the title of No. 1 in the competition. On the alchemy side, Zheng Lu refined the semi-finished Zengyuan Dan and defeated Lan Fuxiu, winning the title of No. 1 in alchemy.
"You two are good."
Li Tianlong nodded with satisfaction, ignoring the envy and jealousy around him, and first looked at Zhao Linglong: "I will accept you as my disciple today, are you willing?"
"Disciple is willing!" Zhao Linglong was stunned for a moment, then nodded like a chicken eating rice. Isn't this her unfinished dream?
She is a master of beast control, but no one in the arena gave her time to summon her, so she had no choice but to resort to fake competitions to hide her from the enemy. It must be said that this is also a kind of soft power.
"As for you..."
Li Tianlong thought for a moment: "I need a medicine boy to help me. If you are interested, please follow me."
Originally there was no reward for being the first in alchemy, but Li Tianlong changed his mind temporarily and said this. Zheng Lu was stunned for a few seconds, and the token given by Master Sun was thrown behind her head: "Disciple pays homage to the master!"
"Haha, it doesn't matter. Now that the winner has been decided, it's time for me to clear up my doubts."
His voice was not loud, but it spread far and wide throughout the Luofeng Valley, shaking the spirits of all the monks here, and those who made loud noises instantly silenced.
Without him, everyone was listening attentively and calmly. If anyone jumped out without opening their eyes, they would have to face a huge group of people throughout the Qi Refining Period.
But just then——
A gust of evil wind suddenly hit from the entrance, and the advanced cultivation moved the air, making a faint trembling sound. The monks present noticed the severe crisis in the distance and turned their heads to stare at it.
"Who is it? How dare you break into Luofeng Valley without permission!"
"Stop it now! Flying is not allowed here!"
Almost at the same moment, Li Tianlong's four alchemy monks rose into the sky at the same time, turning into four long rainbows to meet the black mist in the distance, followed by the same shrill scream, and the four headless corpses were cold. It crashed into the distant forest, startling a large number of sparrows that fled and flew out.
The sudden turn of events stunned the entire monks in Luofeng Valley! Those were four pill-forming monks who maintained order. They were killed by this black shadow in one turn. Could it be that...
Li Tianlong's face instantly became extremely ugly!
"Your Majesty, you are so majestic! It seems that things cannot go well today, otherwise it will be difficult to calm the anger of the hundreds of thousands of monks present!" Li Tianlong snorted coldly. This was the first time that everyone had seen him angry in the past century!
"Old man, you are so old and you still have two female apprentices! Can your body handle it? You are said to be a sanctimonious bastard, but you are really a shameless old bastard!"
The black mist arrived in the center of Luofeng Valley in the blink of an eye. It was wearing a curtain hat and exuding a shocking bloody aura. Keep strangers away!
"Yuan... Nascent Soul cultivator?!"
"He is a Nascent Soul Demonic Cultivator! He deliberately came to challenge Senior Li's majesty today!"
"Senior Li, destroy him soon!"
The existence of the Jiedan monks was temporarily gone, and the heated discussions in the venue suddenly increased. Of course, there were also a small number of smart monks who had already used their full body speed to escape from the place the moment the four headless corpses fell. Unexpectedly, he was chopped into pieces by the demon cultivators who had been prepared at the door.
"It's not good!! The outside has been blocked by demonic monks!" A monk with a horrified expression ran back to the venue, shouting at the top of his lungs the news he wanted to inform.
"....What, a demonic monk?! How is that possible!"
"Impossible! Bastard, where did you come from as a spy! How dare you deliver false news!"
There was no need for them to believe it. One after another, the Earth-Escape boats floated in front of the entrance of Luofeng Valley. Each group consisted of a hundred people, led by a Foundation Establishment monk. In just one stick of incense, more than 20,000 people gathered here. Dashing into the Luofeng Valley!
They are the demonic monks who have been hiding from the two counties for more than 20 hours to adjust everything to the best condition!
In order to completely break the psychological defenses of the cultivators, tens of thousands of demonic monks uniformly wore ferocious red evil ghost masks. From far to near, a large and dense red ghost surrounded the entire venue.
