Jiang Yun and his mother immediately prepared to leave the quarantine. Just after leaving the bamboo building, Jiang Yun saw a dozen strange insects the size of an adult's arm appearing in the open space in front of the bamboo building.
One of them is nearly twice as big as the others. Next to the strange insect, there are many spiritual bamboos cut into the same length, piled up into a hill. Jiang Yun's footsteps immediately stopped, not daring to move again.
To be honest, Jiang Yun had never seen spirit insects in his clan. Some children brought spirit insects to the Enlightenment School to share and show off with their friends.
But the largest of those spiritual insects are about the size of a palm, and they are relatively soft in appearance.
The spirit insect in front of him was not only large in size, but also quite ferocious in appearance.
I saw that the overall color of the strange insect was dark black, and it looked like a piece of metal in the sunlight. It also had a pair of knife-like upper jaws on its head. There are two rows of blade-like insect legs under the body, with as many as a dozen in each row.
The sharp-eyed Jiang Yun also saw a small stone cut in half next to the foot of one of the strange insects.
At this time, his mother walked up to him, saw these strange insects and the spirit bamboo next to them, then took out four metal blocks the size of his head from the storage bag and threw them at the strange insects.
Seeing the metal block, the largest monster crawled over first, lifted a piece with his head, and rolled it on his back. Jiang Yun discovered that the monster's feet were very flexible. They were obviously the feet under the body, and they actually turned 180 degrees. He moved upwards, fixed the metal ball with a few insect legs, and then crawled away quickly. The remaining spiritual insects were several moving away a piece of metal ball.
They all crawled towards the direction of the spiritual bamboo forest, and soon disappeared after entering the bamboo forest.
"Mother, what is this?"
Seeing the spirit insect disappearing without a trace, Jiang Yun asked his mother in confusion:
The mother continued to walk forward, came to a pile of bamboo, and put it into a storage bag.
"We'll talk as we walk." Mother said and continued walking forward. Jiang Yun quickly followed.
Mother began to explain: "Those are the spirit insects that your father kept in captivity, and they are called golden-legged knife insects. Even though they look like this, and they have a knife in their name, in fact they are not very powerful in combat, and they are not ranked among the spirit insects at all. . Your father never brought them with him when he was fighting with others."
"The largest one is the leader. His cultivation level is close to that of a second-level spiritual insect, and his spiritual intelligence is not low. The rest are all first-level spiritual insects with limited spiritual intelligence."
"The things I gave them before were made from several special spiritual ores and spiritual stone powder. It is of great benefit to their growth.
In fact, the cost of this thing is very low. I have a lot of it in my storage bag. It is not difficult to refine. Even an apprentice weapon refiner can easily refine it.
We made an agreement with the Golden-footed Knife Insect to bring a certain amount of spiritual bamboo in exchange for these metal balls. "
Jiang Yun understood after listening, but still had some questions, so he asked, "The spiritual bamboo is right next to it, why don't we cut it down ourselves?"
After hearing this, Yu Wenqing smiled and explained: "The bamboo grown in that bamboo forest is called Jianqing Bamboo, which is a high-quality low-level weapon-refining material.
There is a low-grade magical weapon, the Qingling Flying Sword, whose main material is the sword Qingzhu. We can cut it down, but its spirituality will be greatly lost and its value will be greatly reduced. "
“And the upper jaw of this golden-footed knife insect secretes a special liquid when cutting the spiritual bamboo, which can avoid the loss of spirituality to a large extent.
So we can get a lot of benefits at a small cost. "
Hearing this, Jiang Yun suddenly realized, and immediately felt that the business wisdom of the immortal cultivator was not low.
Soon the two of them left the Juling Pagoda and got on the flying boat and flew to Jiang Yun's small courtyard in the front yard. They gave a few instructions to Aunt Mei, and soon the attendants brought various delicacies to the stone table in the courtyard.
Yu Wenqing and Jiang Yun sat down facing each other. Jiang Yun usually paid great attention to etiquette, and there was nothing wrong with his eating manners. However, although he seemed to be chewing carefully, his food was not eaten slowly.
Yu Wenqing held his chin in his hand and watched quietly from the side with a smile.
Soon Jiang Yun finished eating. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the spiritual tea.
Looking at his smiling mother, Jiang Yun asked expressionlessly: "Mom, all my knowledge of spiritual insects and beasts comes from books. I don't actually know much about them. Mother, can you clarify some of my doubts for me?" two."
"Also, can you elaborate on the high-grade monsters and low-grade monsters that the patriarch mentioned before? I read from the book that the cultivation levels of monsters are from level one to ten, and I have never seen any mention of upper-grade or lower-grade monsters. "
After hearing Jiang Yun's question, Yu Wenqing put down the arm he was holding and slowly explained to Jiang Yun.
"Actually, spiritual beasts and demonic beasts are the same thing. Those that can be controlled by immortal cultivators are spiritual beasts, and those that can be controlled by immortal cultivators are demonic beasts.
The cultivation level of monsters is indeed divided from level 1 to level 10.
Level 1 monsters correspond to the Qi training period.
Level 2 monsters correspond to the early stage of the foundation building period. Level 3 monsters correspond to the middle stage of the foundation building period, and level 4 monsters correspond to the late stage of the foundation building period.
Level 5 monsters correspond to the early stage of pill formation, level 6 monsters correspond to the middle stage of pill formation, and level 7 monsters correspond to the late stage of pill formation.
Level 8 monsters correspond to the early stage of Nascent Soul, level 9 monsters correspond to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and level 10 monsters correspond to the late stage of Nascent Soul. There is no need to know about higher cultivation levels. "
"As for the high-grade spiritual beasts and low-grade spiritual beasts mentioned by the patriarch, this is the internal view of our Jiang family.
Without special opportunities and the use of a large amount of resources to cultivate, this race can generally reach the top level of first-level monsters, that is, monsters at the late stage of Qi training period are low-grade monsters. "
"Without special opportunities and the use of a large amount of resources to cultivate, this race can generally reach level two and above. In other words, those who can reach the foundation building stage are top-grade monsters."
"As for the spiritual beasts that cannot even be reached in the late stage of Qi training, they have all become vegetables. The family has opened a Shengxian Pavilion, which sells spiritual meals cooked with low-level spiritual herbs and spirit beast meat. A spiritual meal costs a lot of money. Many spiritual stones, although they taste good and have a lot of benefits in cultivation, but their price-performance ratio is very low."
Mother took a sip of tea and continued:
“The value difference between low-grade spiritual beasts is not big, but the value between the same high-grade spiritual beasts is hugely different.
Some natural cultivation can reach the early stage of foundation building, some can reach the late stage of foundation building, and some even have a lower probability of forming elixirs. "
"It can be done without special training. If cultivators invest a lot of resources in cultivation, they will naturally have a bright future."
After introducing the monsters and beasts, Jiang Yun saw his mother pause for a while, as if she was thinking about what to say next.
"It's more complicated about spirit insects. Some spirit insects are divided into levels one to ten in the same way as monster beasts. However, there are also some monster insects based on groups that are not divided in this way."
I can't tell you more specifically. You can ask your father who only cares about bugs when he comes back. "
Speaking of Jiang Yun's father, Yu Wenqing's face began to show anger.
