"Thank you, fellow daoist Ji Yan. But my mount has always been naughty, that is, I have been pressing it all these years to calm down and practice, otherwise I don't know when I want to conceive a baby." Zhang Shiping couldn't help but laughed.

After all, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, there is such a big monster who is almost incarnate under his seat, and it is a very face-saving thing to say.

Moreover, after nearly a hundred years of getting along with each other, Jiang Ru's resistance gradually weakened, and he recognized his identity as a mount.

This beast control has never been something that can be done once and for all simply by relying on external force such as blood deeds.

Of course, those insect cultivators in ancient times were an exception. Insects were the most difficult creatures to open up their intelligence besides earth, rocks, plants and trees.

Therefore, most of the Chongxiu forcibly signed blood contracts with those strange insects, and then sent them as envoys, just like he had raised the phantom locust for hundreds of years.

Even now, after the phantom ghost locust has formed a pill, its spiritual intelligence is only equivalent to that of a six or seven-year-old child, ignorant and ignorant, and because this insect is cultivated by the method of raising Gu, its viciousness is even stronger.

Another point, Zhang Shiping has seen several famous insect cultivators in ancient times, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of spirit insects in one shot. Don't wait and run away.

The difference between insects and other monsters is that if there are only dozens of them, they are not very useful. But once the scale is formed and the swarms gather, some supernatural powers will be derived.

Like locusts in the secular world, if there are only dozens of them, chickens and ducks can be eaten. But if there is a plague of locusts, most of these locusts will be poisonous, and they will die easily.

Ordinary insects are still like this, but once they are replaced by the spirit insects listed in the "Insect Classic", the derived magical powers will definitely make other monks more troublesome.

When Zhang Shiping was cultivating at Jindan, he also thought about cultivating a large number of phantom locusts as a means of suppressing the bottom of the box. It's just that after he calculated the accounts, he didn't have a headache.

At the beginning, he invested about 3 million spirit stones in the phantom locusts one after another, and the number of first-level phantom locusts cultivated was quite a lot, but there were only a hundred or so of them that could reach the second level.

As for the three million spirit stones, most of them were managed by the Zhang family. The reason why high-level monks like to build a family is to protect their clansmen on the one hand, and more importantly, because these low-level monks with some blood connections can serve them and earn spiritual stones for practice, so that they will not waste themselves by doing it themselves. The time of practice.

In the end, these spirit insects devoured each other, and the third-level Phantom Locust was lucky enough to emerge.

And the spirit insects that can come in handy when the Nascent Soul cultivators fight each other must be second-level cultivation at least, and the scale must be tens of thousands in order to derive some supernatural powers.

Otherwise, the Nascent Soul cultivator does not need to use any corresponding restraint methods. He only needs to use some ordinary spells or activate the spirit treasure, and he can easily disperse and kill most of the spirit insects.

However, if you want to cultivate Phantom Locusts to the second-level cultivation base, with a scale of tens of thousands, you need a lot of various spiritual objects. For Nascent Soul cultivators, that is also a huge expense. Even if it is cultivated on a large scale, the cost of spiritual objects required can be reduced a lot, but even if it is less, it will still have to be around 20,000 high-grade spiritual stones.

The Lingshi vein on Liyuan Island that Zhang Shiping owns now produces only about 700 high-grade spirit stones a year. Even if he doesn't use the 20,000 spirit stones for his cultivation, he will have to store them for ten years.

If he sees a golden elixir loose cultivator following the worm cultivator, and a swarm of worms will cover the sky as soon as he strikes, he must plan secretly to seize his opportunity.

After all, casual cultivators who can have such means must be blessed with great opportunities, whether they come from the remains of those ancient monks' caves, or part or even all of the net worth of those Nascent Soul old monsters who have already passed away. I am afraid that there is no true monarch who will not be moved.

…

…

Half a month later, Xuan Yuanzong and his party from Bixiao Palace returned to Yuanxiao City.

Zhang Shiping bid farewell to the crowd and headed towards the White Ape Palace.

After returning to the palace, with a glance of his spiritual sense, he knew that Jiang Si and Bai Qizheng were practicing in a side hall, so he sent a sound transmission jade slip and did not bother him any more.

In fact, the four different phases in Jiang Si's body are not weak, but because he has been wandering in the world of cultivating immortals all year round and has never practiced stably, his state has slowed down.

Monster beasts with purer ancient bloodlines usually have a longer lifespan than those of the same realm.

According to what Jiang Si said, it has been practicing for more than 800 years. It originally lived in an inconspicuous spiritual mountain in the desert of Nanzhou. It happened to eat a hundred-year-old ginseng. The spiritual object, Yelian Yuehua, has been so muddled for nearly a hundred years, and finally set foot in the foundation building realm.

Without the help of his own monks, he was lucky enough to awaken the inheritance in his blood. So far, his mind has been greatly enlightened, and his practice has greatly improved in the years in the mountains.

However, when it was more than 150 years old, it was discovered by a few tribal monks in the foundation stage in the desert, and its traces were exposed.

Fortunately, it realized something was wrong and pretended to be ignorant, which caused the Foundation Establishment cultivators to relax their vigilance, killed two with all their might, broke through the encirclement~lightnovelpub.net~ and fled from the mountain immediately.

Since then, it has been wandering all over Nanzhou all the way, wandering indefinitely.

Or maybe it was the sight of blood that aroused the ferocity. Jiang seemed to no longer be limited to breathing and practice, but began to learn to hunt and kill other monsters or single monks. His cultivation was also increasing day by day, and his mind became more and more flexible.

When it was close to forming the alchemy, it realized that if it triggered the Heavenly Tribulation in Nanzhou, it might attract the golden elixir and even Nascent Soul monsters from the human race, so it traveled overseas.

But overseas is not a safe place either, it finally survived the catastrophe and stabilized its practice, but it was coveted by other big monsters, after several life-and-death fights, it didn't get much benefit, but suffered injuries all over.

More importantly, during the more than a hundred years of fighting and fighting as the Great Demon Empress, it didn't have much time to practice with peace of mind, and its cultivation also stopped at the initial stage. It wasn't until he gained some prestige overseas that this kind of life stopped.

In the next three or four hundred years, it practiced to the middle stage of the Great Demon, and got acquainted with Gu Quan, the guest elder of Mingxinzong, and cooperated with one person and one demon to plot a few human golden pills in the secret realm of Mingxin Bieyuan. Been stable for a while.

It's just that since meeting Zhang Shiping and his party, it feels that Mingxin Bieyuan is not a place to live for a long time, so it left again.

But that time, it was really unlucky. It ran into Bi Yu's old fire crow halfway, and was detained by the other party in the Xiaotanggu Palace under Chisha Island. spiritual blood.

Decades later, Jiang Si, who managed to save his life, suddenly felt that life overseas was really uneasy, so he quietly fled back to Nanzhou. Considering that Zhang Shiping is a monk of Xuanyuanzong, it deliberately avoided Yuanxiao City and headed towards Shuiyueyuan. By chance, it found red copper veins and practiced carefully.

Unexpectedly, the fate that should come, after all, cannot be avoided.
