Chapter 147: Spirit Worm Hatching
Long Xiaoyao arrived in Wangjiafang City without encountering any trouble, and he first went directly to the high-end shops that sold exercises and techniques to find cheats related to sword qi.
Wangjiafang City can say that there are all kinds of cheats, but high-level cheats are generally difficult to obtain, and after getting them, in order to avoid revenge, the original owner of the cheats will generally be redeemed at a high price. Therefore, exercises above the ground level are relatively rare.
However, the cheats of the sword skills belong to skills, which are divided into sword sects and martial cultivation: the sword sect's imperial sword is mainly to cultivate and nourish the sword soul, and martial cultivation is to increase the power of the flying sword with sword qi.
However, there are strict requirements for cultivating these two sword skills: needless to say, to practice the sword sect's sword technique, one must have a mutated spirit root sword soul, while to cultivate the sword qi of martial cultivation, one must first have a strong physique.
Cultivating sword qi needs to reach the realm of human and sword integration, and the sword intent will invade the body, if there is no strong martial artist's physique, the body cannot withstand the murderous aura of the sword intent, and before the sword qi is displayed, I am afraid that my body will have been eaten by the sword intent.
Even if a martial cultivator has a strong martial arts physique, most people can only cultivate junior and intermediate sword qi, otherwise, the sword intent is too strong, and the body will still not be able to withstand it. And the martial cultivation of the Qi cultivation period that Long Xiaoyao encountered had only reached the simplest basic sword qi.
Due to the strict cultivation requirements, there are very few immortal cultivators who buy these two kinds of cheats, and there is no shortage of cheats, and the price is not very high. However, Long Xiaoyao was far beyond ordinary people because his physique was far beyond ordinary people, of course he would not worry about the backlash of sword intent, so he bought a set of sword qi cultivation cheats, and the price was only less than 100,000 spirit stones after discounting.
After that, Long Xiaoyao searched for the materials needed to refine the Star Constellation Sword Array in Fang City. There are no rented stalls or shops in Wangjiafang City, and the shops are run by professionals, so there is no room for him to play his specialty of treasure hunting and leakage. He spent tens of thousands of spirit stones, and finally purchased all the materials for refining the sword array, and then left Wangjiafang City satisfied.
Long Xiaoyao has now completed the procurement task, and needs to find a place to cultivate with peace of mind. For the sake of safety, after leaving Fang City, he flew to the lower reaches of the Yellow River, which is closest to Wangwu Mountain, jumped into the Yellow River, and swam upstream in the turbulent water towards the Longmen, where his family was located.
After Long Xiaoyao entered the Jindan period, his physique improved again, and he had a better control over the variety of fish walking, and in less than two days, he swam to the Dragon Gate.
The Dragon Gate belongs to the dwelling place of the secular world, and due to the mediocre aura, there are generally no immortal cultivators passing here. Long Xiaoyao's cultivation basically relied entirely on the assistance of pills, and now the medicinal herbs planted in the Ten Thousand Beasts Order Space could already refine the Jindan stage pills recorded in the Ancient Cultivation Pill Sutra. Although the number of medicinal herbs is not large, because the age of the herbs is as high as tens of thousands, the volume of the pill he refined is less than one-twentieth of that of ordinary pills, so there is no need to consider the shortage of pills for the time being.
Long Xiaoyao did not return to the family, but opened a hidden cave at the steep mountain wall of Longmen, arranged a protective magic circle, and lived in the cave.
Although the raw material years of the pills recorded in the Gu Xiu Dan prescription are as high as tens of thousands, the difficulty of refining them is not too great for Long Xiaoyao because the years of the herbs are almost the same. He was not in a hurry to refine the Nakshatra Sword Array, and now the materials he prepared for refining the Nakshatra Sword Array were all high-grade materials, which could completely refine the low-grade magic weapon.
And with Long Xiaoyao's current strength, if he is not careful, he may refine a set of superb artifact flying swords, although it seems that there is only a difference of one level, but there is a world of difference between artifacts and magic weapons, he doesn't want to waste materials casually, not to mention that there are no extra materials for him to waste casually.
However, in addition to cultivating, Long Xiaoyao also practiced sword qi. With his super strong physique, of course, he doesn't have to worry about the backlash of sword intent. And the biggest difficulty in cultivating sword qi was to adapt to and restrain the backlash of sword intent on the body, so he cultivated the sword qi to the highest level that could be mastered in the Jindan stage without hindrance: intermediate sword qi.
Three years later, the Soul Devouring Worm in the Ten Thousand Beast Orders finally emitted a life fluctuation. The insect eggs, which were originally the size of millet, had grown to the size of mung beans at this time, and Long Xiaoyao sensed the information coming from the soul devouring insect eggs, and immediately took out the insect eggs along with the high-grade spirit stones under them.
Although Long Xiaoyao doesn't have to spend spirit stones for the pill now, in the past three years, those insect eggs have absorbed the spiritual energy contained in two batches of high-grade spirit stones, 18 high-grade spirit stones, that is 180,000 spirit stones, which makes him feel distressed. However, he was looking forward to devouring the magical power of spirit worms, so he had to pave the third batch of high-grade spirit stones for these insect eggs.
Now, there was not much spiritual energy left in the third batch of spirit stones, fortunately they showed signs of hatching at this time, otherwise, Long Xiaoyao suspected that he might be going bankrupt for the sake of these spirit devouring insects.
After a cup of tea, the eggs moved slightly, and then the eggs rustled. After a few moments, small holes appeared in the eggs, and then, a pair of golden teeth were revealed, constantly gnawing at the eggs.
As the gnawing progressed, the holes in the eggs grew bigger and bigger, and after a while, beetles the size of small ants crawled out of the holes in the eggs. The beetle was pale golden, and a pair of teeth the size of its body, like a miniature version of the soul eater that Long Yao had seen.
After the little soul eaters burrowed their eggs, they first devoured their respective egg shells, and then, flapping their wings and flying, although their flying skills were still very naïve, flying crookedly, and the speed was not fast, but they all flew hard and pounced on the head of the dragon. A moment later, the 36 soul devouring insects that had hatched landed on top of his head.
Of course, this was because Long Xiaoyao used the soul control array to carry out the blood-dripping ritual of recognizing the master of these insect eggs, and the little spirit devouring insect naturally flew to him first because of its intimacy with its master.
According to the insect control technique, Long Xiaoyao separated 36 wisps of distraction, attached them to the 36 small spirit devouring insects, and commanded these small insects to circle in the air and fall back to the spirit stone in his hand. After the little spirit devourer fell on the spirit stone, it actually lay on the spirit stone, opened a pair of teeth, and concentrated on devouring those high-grade spirit stones that only had a faint spiritual energy.
The hardness of high-grade spirit stones, even if it is today's dragon Xiaoyao, it is difficult to crush it. But the little spirit eater that looked weak didn't care about the hardness of the spirit stones, and tried hard to gnaw at those spirit stones. In a creaking sound, those spirit stones were really bitten by them, and gradually shrunk. A moment later, the little spirit devouring insects suddenly fell from the spirit stone one after another, falling into his hand and not moving.
