When Liu Yuan recalled the pure body, when the pressure on the body was shared and relieved by the natal ants, he did feel the impact and pain of the soul. Unexpectedly, this was the feeling caused by the death and injury of the natal ants transformed by the soul.
He painfully counted the hundreds of natal ants, and now only ten of them were alive. It was really a heavy casualty, and his own soul was also consumed a lot. Unexpectedly, the Pure Body Pill was still too overbearing against the natal ants.
Although the remaining natal soul ants that are still alive are injured and their breath is quite bleak, Liu Yuan's spiritual thoughts are connected with them after all. He can feel that the intelligence of these natal ants is obviously a little higher than before. , the level of their souls is almost the same as mine, and some even vaguely surpass mine.
"Survival of the fittest?"
This is the only possible explanation that Liu Yuan thought of. The potential of the soul was stimulated under harsh conditions, allowing the soul ants to evolve and make breakthroughs.
This is somewhat similar to when he was practicing in the cold pool. At that time, he used the nine-turn resurrection technique to continuously resurrect ordinary spirit ants that had died of freezing. After several rounds of screening, they all enhanced their ability to resist freezing.
It's just that the various types of spirit ants summoned by spiritual power at that time were different from the natal ants now.
It seems that the evolution of the Soul Ant has also taken a preliminary direction.
But it's too late to be happy now. His spiritual mind has been damaged a bit, and the price of this evolution of survival of the fittest is also relatively high.
He activated the cocoon technique again, but this time it was to repair his soul.
Except for the orange soul ants, all the other colors were taken back into the body to recover on their own.
Past experience told Liu Yuan that orange soul ants have a very good auxiliary effect on mental power. They spit out the silk of the soul one after another and wrapped Liu Yuan, forming an orange spiritual cocoon. Inside the spiritual cocoon space, Liu Yuan's spiritual power can be compressed and circulated faster, and his spirit can be highly concentrated.
After several days of this, Liu Yuan could not come out of seclusion. Liu Yanshi, who came to visit, was also frustrated several times by Qingfeng Mingyue, so he had to leave in anger.
The mining ant colony was finally no longer affected by the burning smell and explosion sound. They had been digging diligently into the depths these days, and their efficiency was greatly improved.
On this day, their work was suddenly interrupted by a loud roar.
It was Liu Yuan who had fully recovered.
At this moment, he has sufficient mental energy and energy, and is about to conduct another experiment.
The soul ants that had been sacrificed previously had already been taken back into the body. When these souls were recovered, he still retained a residual memory. Here were not only their spiritual thoughts, but also their previous memories.
On this basis, he planned to use the nine-turn resurrecting technique to resurrect the dead soul ants.
To be more precise, it is not resurrection, but rebirth!
Liu Yuan's soul ants are different from the various ordinary spirit ants summoned. They have spiritual intelligence and can cultivate themselves through the connection with the soul, thereby improving their own cultivation.
Liu Yuan hopes that the memories of these soul ants can be passed down through resurrection.
What kind of development will happen if every ant's spiritual thoughts continue to practice? He was looking forward to it.
In this way, the evolution of the soul ants can be carried out by natural selection through the survival of the fittest. The eliminated ones will not disappear and be wasted, but will leave their own experience and inheritance and be reborn as new natal ants, and their spiritual intelligence will also be continued.
For the summoned creations, the consumption of the Nine Turns of Resurrection Technique is much smaller than that for real people. Even so, resurrecting these hundreds of soul ants will also squeeze out seven or seven of his newly recovered spiritual thoughts and spiritual power. Eighty-eight.
After all, this is his natal soul, not an ordinary leaf-cutter ant or bull ant.
I saw the nine-color brilliance constantly flowing on Liu Yuan's body, and one soul ant emerged from the brilliance. They were all nine-color flowing at first, and then slowly turned into one of the nine colors. .
The familiar mental connection was restored, and Liu Yuan felt the affection of Yuanshen Ant.
Those who were eliminated in pure form were generally smaller in size, and there were changes visible to the naked eye after this rebirth. Not only are they generally bigger, but their temperament also seems to have a calmness after rebirth.
And those soul ants that survived the pure body are the best ones under natural selection. After surviving one round of pure body, their carapace faintly glowed with metallic luster, and a few of them even mutated in form, some on their hind legs. A row of sharp barbs sprouted from their backs, and some had sharp jaws, which looked more powerful.
Liu Yuan gave all the soul ants a holiday and let them recuperate for a while, while he went to Baibao Pavilion.
When he came to his Yin Marrow store, he received bad news. Since the first month, the income from the sales of Yin Marrow has continued to shrink, and now it is only half of the original.
After looking at the sales records from the puppet clerk, Liu Yuan found that shipments were steadily declining every month.
Is the market close to saturation?
Liu Yuan went to several large stores to inquire. Sure enough, due to the sufficient supply of high-quality vaginal marrow on the market, everyone's demand was no longer so strong. Prices are also slowly falling back.
The price depends on the relationship between supply and demand, and Liu Yuan naturally knows this truth. It seems that his large-scale launch has impacted the overall supply and demand balance.
He returned to his shop and told the clerk to limit the supply for a period of time and make some adjustments to the price. The highest quality items remain unchanged, while the average quality items are sold at a discount. If he just does this, the inventory of Yin Essence will be greatly backlogged, but he has no good solution now.
Next, he ran to Lu Zifang's elixir shop. Unfortunately, the other party was researching and improving elixirs, and there were currently no high-quality foundation-building elixirs for sale.
However, it was not all without gain. Liu Yuan purchased a large number of God-Returning Pills. He discovered that Lu Zifang's alchemy skills were indeed unique, and the quality of his God-Returning Pills almost reached the peak level of Qi-refining period pills.
The two parties cooperated happily. Lu Zifang was happy and asked and pointed out the problems Liu Yuan encountered in alchemy, which really made him, a layman, feel enlightened.
"Brother Lu, why are there no foundation-building-level elixirs for restoring spiritual thoughts on the market?" Liu Yuan raised his doubts. He was very concerned about supplementing spiritual thoughts.
"This is natural," Lu Zifang seemed to be prepared and began to talk:
"After the foundation building period, the intensity and breadth of spiritual thoughts are greatly improved, and the recovery power required cannot be extracted from ordinary fairy grass.
Moreover, most of the monks in the foundation-building stage have begun to learn various kinds of immortal spells, including summoning spirit servants, spirit beasts, puppets, ghost soldiers, and Taoist soldiers. The need for replenishing spiritual thoughts has greatly increased. Most of the high-level alchemists are supported by aristocratic families and supply exclusively to the family. It rarely comes out on the market. Whenever such elixirs appear, they are quickly sold out, so they are rarely seen. "
"I see," Liu Yuan had an idea, "If Brother Lu has such elixirs in the future, we can cooperate for a long time. I will pay Brother Lu in advance the cost of the required materials and herbs."
He took out a storage bag and said, "This is one hundred thousand spirit stones. If Brother Lu doesn't have enough, just ask me to get it."
Lu Zifang was overjoyed. He had previously sold all the Essence Pills to restore blood because he needed to purchase large quantities of materials to study the elixir recipe, which led to a shortage of funds.
In order to repay Liu Yuan, he gave Liu Yuan a few of his treasured foundation-building-stage fine rejuvenation pills, and also gave him a large furnace of medicine dregs.
"Brother Liu, you are so concerned about the recovery of your spiritual sense. You must be practicing the art of spiritual beasts and insects. Although this slag is inconspicuous, it is said that it can feed some spiritual creatures, and maybe there is a chance of stimulating mutation."
"Mutations?"
Liu Yuan felt that the door to a new world was opening to him.
