A total of nearly a hundred spirit stones were recovered from the bones of the Earth Armored Dragon. At Liu Yanshi's suggestion, Liu Yuan did not sell the pair of sharp claws, but instead commissioned the weapon refiner to create a pair of spiritual claws. As for the crystal core, Liu Yuan planned to stay and understand the market before making a decision.
After adding a few Earth Escape Talisman, Detonation Talisman, and Gale Wind Talisman, plus the cost of crafting the Spirit Claw, Liu Yuan spent all the spirit stones he had just received.
Not only that, when he and Liu Yanshi walked to the elixir area of Fangshi, Liu Yuan found that he had to spend a large amount of spiritual stones.
Awakening Pill - can relieve mental fatigue.
The God-Returning Pill - can slowly restore the consumed divine thoughts.
This was simply tailor-made for the Tianji Tu. Although it was expensive, Liu Yuan reluctantly bought several bottles of this type of elixir, spending more than a hundred spirit stones in total.
Liu Yanshi's interests are quite different. What he purchased is:
Beauty lotion - has the magical effect of maintaining the appearance and delaying aging.
"Why did you buy this kind of elixir?" Liu Yuan couldn't help but want to remind him, isn't it stinky enough? Besides, you are only fifteen years old...
"Young man," Liu Yanshi put on an air of seniority and patted him on the shoulder, "You need to take care of your skin as early as possible, especially when your skin is supple and supple. Brother Yu discovered your pores. It’s already a little thick, how about a bottle?”
"Uh... I appreciate Brother Liu's kindness. Little brother, I'll go there for a walk first and say goodbye..."
Liu Yuan came to the area where the Kung Fu books were sold by himself. As expected, all the Kung Fu books here were low-grade Kung Fu. The names were more bizarre than the last, and they all boasted of being able to reach heaven and earth, but Liu Yuan still had this knowledge.
However, other miscellaneous books attracted him instead, mostly because he had formed a habit after staying in Wenhui Pavilion for too long. Looking through the past one after another, I really got something:
"Senior brother, how do you sell your "Insect Breeding Miscellany" and "Spiritual Insect Collection"?
"Two books, one price, fifty spirit stones. By the way, do you want insect eggs? Can I give you a suitable price?" The senior brother who set up the stall indeed had business acumen.
"Are there any ant eggs?" Liu Yuan was curious.
"This...it really doesn't exist at the moment. If this junior brother is interested, I can contact you when I collect it. My surname is Lu." This senior brother Lu took out the Tao transmission note and tore it in two, letting the two of them hold their own. One serving. "Just send a message to me then."
"So it can still be used like this." Liu Yuan thought to himself. He didn't know what happened to the transmission note that flew away. He probably used the wrong method.
Back at his residence, Zheng Jing was also amazed by his achievements. He thought that there was nothing he could do to take down the Ankylosaurus, so he couldn't help but think more highly of his junior brother.
"Senior brother, you will participate in the main peak selection next year. Do you know what the probability of being selected is in general?" Liu Yuan remembered what Li Nu said about one in a hundred, and this shadow always stayed in his heart.
"For those of us disciples who have no family background and no background, I'm afraid we are only one in a hundred." Zheng Jing directly confirmed this problem,
"That's why I have to work hard to get the heavenly cards and squeeze into the third beam. Only in this way can I save enough contribution points to qualify for the spiritual pool." Zheng Jing said with a wry smile, "The chances of selection may be one more point by then. "
"Is the main peak so attractive?" Liu Yuan thought of the people and things in Tianqin Peak.
"It's just an elusive goal." Zheng Jing was moved by Liu Yuan's progress. He didn't feel that today's words were too much. "Back then, I discovered the earth's spiritual root. It was also the family's only hope and pride. , I was full of ambition when I first entered the path of cultivating immortals, and I was naturally high-spirited when I was lucky enough to enter Lingtian Pavilion."
"You will know later," Zheng Jing said mockingly, "We are just a small deacon in a bookstore that no one patronizes. I actually see through that even a big sect of immortality like Lingtian Pavilion has the same needs as the secular world. We, the low-level disciples, make the most ordinary bricks and stones. Our fate is so unfair."
"If you fail the selection, you will just continue to work as a masonry, but I will lose my life..." Liu Yuan thought to himself, and went to deliver the book out of kindness. Isn't fate even more unfair?
"By the way, since you have the ability to kill the Ankylosaurus alone, you can join our team tomorrow and be more efficient." Zheng Jing suddenly thought that their team was working hard to qualify for the Tianpai, and some tasks were short of manpower.
"Senior brother, thank you. This time I accidentally missed and killed the Ankylosaurus. I myself was overdrawn and needed to rest for more than ten days." Liu Yuan also told the truth. He did need some time to recover and adjust.
"Okay, you can join at any time when you are ready."
That night, Liu Yuan began to recover. He sat on the futon, feeling the peaceful and righteous energy coming from the futon, and all his messy thoughts calmed down.
After taking a refreshing pill, Liu Yuan began to close his eyes and rest his mind, feeling the concentrated power of the medicine with his heart. Under the dual effects of the futon and the Awakening Pill, he only felt a warm and peaceful feeling in his heart. Quiet, comfortable, comfortable, and all kinds of wonderful and pleasant emotions infiltrated his body and mind, and he quickly entered a state of forgetting both things and myself.
When Liu Yuan regained consciousness, it was already noon the next day. It was as if he had had a big dream. When he woke up, he was refreshed and his energy and mind were restored to a certain extent.
He looked around, thinking that it would be safer to be cautious when taking mind-based elixirs in the future, and to call out the patrolling ant team in advance.
It was three o'clock in the morning, and there was no one in the room. Only Zheng Jing left a note, saying that he was going to form a team to search for high-level monsters in Erdaoliang, and that he would not come back to spend the night in the next few days.
Just right. You can use the Tianji Diagram to summon all the ants, review your ant army according to the "Insect Breeding Miscellaneous Treatise" and "Spiritual Insect Collection" to see if there are any good varieties that are missing, and familiarize yourself with the characteristics of each ant.
So, soon, if someone breaks into Liu Yuan's residence, they will probably be shocked.
Many ants emerged from the Tianji Diagram in a steady stream and soon covered the floor. Even the bed, table and walls were densely covered with all kinds of ants.
Liu Yuan classified them one by one according to the descriptions in the book. The army ants he knew in his previous life were called soldier ants in the book, while the red fire ants that had made great contributions were also described in detail in the book, but they were called red ants. As for the flying patrol ants, Liu Yuan had never seen them in another time and space. They were simply called flying ants in the book. In addition, some new species have been discovered.
Burrowing ants - Liu Yuan remembered, this seemed to be the famous leaf-cutting ants: architects with the highest IQ among ants, good at building large and complex ant cities, and also raising and cultivating fungi and aphids.
Arrow ants—Liu Yuan thinks that these may be bullet ants from another time and space: they can spray out venom, and the venom contains powerful formic acid.
Stinky ants: They emit pungent and unpleasant gas. The smell is so strong that it can not only drive away natural enemies, but even stun them.
There are also some unknown species that are not even in the book.
Next, Liu Yuan wanted to test his limit. He continued to urge the Tianji Tu until the room was filled with ants in layers, without even a little place to stay. The number is beyond calculation, probably tens of thousands.
The consumption at this time was also quite terrifying. Liu Yuan estimated that he would be drained dry in another quarter of an hour.
After testing the limits, he took back most of the ants, leaving only one team of each type, and planned to study them slowly during this period.
In the dead of night, Liu Yuan deliberately increased the number of ant units, especially patrol flying ants. He wanted to experiment whether they could maintain activity for a long time and how many numbers they could maintain while sleeping.
Not long after, Liu Yuan fell into a deep sleep, and the basic Qi Refining Technique was naturally activated, continuing the breathing and operation of spiritual energy. As usual, an air film is also formed on the body surface. Although the thickness of this air film remains the same as before, it is more condensed and faintly emits the aura of high-level spells.
Except for the flying ants who were on guard in the air, the rest of the ant team clung closely to Liu Yuan. A strange thing happened. The air film was like plasticine that could deform at will, and it also enveloped these groups of ants.
Nothing happened all night.
When Liu Yuan got up at sunrise, he saw the flying ant squadron performing their duties in the sky, and he smiled with satisfaction. Sure enough, from then on he had patrolling sentries around the clock.
But the next moment, when he looked at the other teams, he was shocked.
The ant team was almost wiped out!
