Mortal: I use the farm to ask for immortality

Chapter 174 Trapping gold-eating insects

Days like this lasted for more than a month.

During this period of time, the girls spent most of their time arranging and perfecting their own areas.

In addition to the meticulous attention to detail, the cave also adds decorations, such as placing potted plants, silk gauze, and adding some daily necessities to each room.

After all, she is a woman.

In this regard, it must be more particular than Gu Changqing's own living.

But he doesn't need to worry about all this, as all the girls have very rich experience.

Many things were simply brought over from Tiannan. Even if there were missing things, with such a huge port on Kuixing Island, many things could be purchased.

You only need a few spiritual stones and you can buy a lot of them.

After all, they are mortal things. For immortal cultivators, apart from satisfying the enjoyment of daily life, they actually have no value.

Compared with several other spirit beast rooms and the insect room prepared for blood jade spiders, this stone room seems a bit special.

Looking at the carefully prepared insect room in front of him, Gu Changqing nodded with a satisfied look on his face.

It seems that since the family was destroyed, this woman has an unusual obsession with pursuing strength.

And when he learned from Xin Ruyin that she had studied every one of these ancient books, his jaw dropped in shock.

This made Gu Changqing a little distressed, but he had to accept this fact.

Since everyone has different preferences, everyone's area is arranged in a different style.

Gu Changqing wanted to know that they would not refuse any rejection and would be prepared with great anticipation.

Except for some daily necessities, there are not many other decorations. It looks very simple. Only the training room has been polished.

As for the bait, he just happened to have it ready-made.

Thinking of this, Gu Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly, then waved his sleeves.

During this period, in addition to dealing with several women and understanding the situation in the surrounding sea areas, he also sneaked into the underground of Xiaohuan Island several times in order to find the group of gold-eating insects.

In addition to some decorative porcelain, the most numerous items were various ancient books and jade slips, which were neatly placed there in large piles, leaving Gu Changqing stunned.

In the end, I can only sigh again and again. Xin Ruyin's ability to have such attainments in formations cannot be summarized simply because of his extraordinary talent.

Maybe the group of gold-eating insects sleeps deeper underground, or maybe they have other characteristics while sleeping that cannot be detected by spiritual consciousness.

No matter what the reason is, if you keep looking for it, you still don’t know when it will be found.

What surprised Gu Changqing was that Yan Ruyan's area was unexpectedly rough.

But now, with each relatively independent area, it is a little inconvenient.

Although due to the obstruction of the soil layer, the spiritual consciousness cannot cover a radius of more than ten miles like in the open air, but by constantly changing directions of exploration, it is easy to cover the surrounding underground. Searched all over.

However, after Gu Changqing explored the surrounding ground, he still found no trace of the gold-eating insect.

East, west, south, north, up.

But if he wanted them to be together, he didn't want to do anything.

On the ground of the stone chamber, there are more than a dozen formation flags of different colors. The arrangement of these formation flags may seem scattered, but in fact they are arranged according to a certain pattern, forming a mysterious formation.

However, this also made him realize that a big cave might not necessarily be a good thing.

This insect chamber was naturally used by him to trap gold-eating insects hiding underground.

After having their own "territory", the women seemed to have even more shame.

In the cave, in a certain insect chamber that had been opened long ago, Gu Changqing's figure appeared here.

A month later.

In addition to having an in-depth understanding of the environment and forces in the waters around Kuixing Island, he also often takes the time to 'accompany' the busy girls as a reward for their efforts for this family.

However, what Gu Changqing didn't expect was that he could find no trace of the group of gold-eating insects even after he went hundreds of feet deep into the ground.

Junior Sister Chen's area is obviously more girlish.

Xin Ruyin and Xiaomei's area has an elegant and simple style.

Pink gauze curtains, beautiful incense burners, and some exquisite toiletries. Except for the stone rooms related to cultivation such as the spirit animal room and the alchemy room, the rest of the area all reveals the unique softness of the young woman.

The walls in the five directions of the stone chamber are densely inlaid with pure white jade stones, which stick to the stone walls like bricks and stones, and the whole body exudes a milky white luster.

Originally, Xin Ruyin's old residence was a small place with only a few rooms, and with Gu Changqing's strong demands, they gradually got used to being hugged from left to right, a dragon, two phoenixes, or even a dragon and three phoenixes. model of harmonious coexistence.

After spending so long with Xin Ruyin, this was the first time he knew that Xin Ruyin had so many books!

Only the ground below is still the original rock material.

During this period of time, while the girls were busy, Gu Changqing was not idle either.

At a glance, it looks very spectacular.

Therefore, Gu Changqing could only satisfy one of the girls, Junior Sister Chen or Xin Ruyin, and then go to the territory of the other girl, which would be a lot of trouble, which made Gu Changqing feel quite depressed.

Unwilling to be reconciled, he later even released all his huge spiritual consciousness.

I have to say, this is a happy little annoyance.

Therefore, Gu Changqing simply changed his strategy and no longer searched for it by himself. Instead, he used the method in the original book to lure the gold-eating insects to his door.

As the dazzling white light flashed, a pile of bottles and jars appeared on the floor of the stone chamber. In addition, there were several gray oval balls.

The things in the bottles and jars are all other strange insects that Gu Changqing got from the pill-forming monks of the Yuling Sect.

Even though they have not been fed for a long time, the strong vitality of these strange insects prevents them from dying easily. Instead, they enter a state similar to hibernation, which can minimize consumption and survive longer.

Although these strange insects are very precious to ordinary immortal cultivators, compared with those at the top of the list of strange insects.

For example, the gold-eating insect, the phantom flame moth, the flying purple-striped scorpion and other peerless evil creatures are completely unattractive, and some of them seem useless.

Gu Changqing doesn't have that much energy to cultivate these useless things. Gold-eating insects naturally like to devour other strange insects, so they can be put to use and exert their final value.

Those egg-shaped balls are dead eggs obtained from the corpse of the golden-backed mantis. They also have the aura of strange insects, so they can be used as bait.

Looking at the bottles and cans on the ground, Gu Changqing flicked his fingers.

As the sounds of "swish" and "swish" sounded, several light bullets flew out and accurately hit the openings of these bottles and jars, and these strange insects were completely exposed to the air.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Changqing fired several more spells, and the array flags that had been arranged on the ground lit up with various lights.

The light finally condensed together, forming an almost transparent light curtain, covering the entire ground.

As the last spell was played, the light curtain that was still looming suddenly completely disappeared from the original ground, as if it had never appeared before.

"With the special one-way formation developed by Ruyin, it will not be that simple to wait for those gold-eating insects to drill into the stone chamber here from the ground and then want to go back. And I also have enough time to remove them. Conquer!"

After doing all this, Gu Changqing clapped his hands with satisfaction and thought to himself.

Gold-eating bugs rank 12th on the list of weird bugs. They are gregarious bugs that are good at devouring hardware and the aura of heaven and earth. The mature bugs can eat almost anything, and their bodies are almost indestructible. There is basically nothing in the human world. The power can destroy it, and it is extremely fierce.

However, they also have weaknesses, that is, jade-like treasures can trap them, and they can compete with spider-like spiritual beasts.

So Gu Changqing specially built such a bug room, using a large amount of jade to cover it in five directions, leaving only the ground as the entrance.

"Next, we just have to wait for the gold-eating bug to take the bait."

After a final check to make sure there was nothing wrong, Gu Changqing walked out of the insect room with confidence.

As the sound of "rumbling" sounded, the insect room was immediately sealed.

Afterwards, Gu Changqing went to another spirit beast room and put the two blood jade spiders in it into the farm space.

The group of gold-eating insects hiding underground is still in a very juvenile form.

If the two blood jade spiders continue to stay here, the aura of spider-like insects emitting from their bodies will only scare away the group of gold-eating insects. This is not what Gu Changqing wants to see.

After arranging everything, Gu Changqing entered the practice room with a lot of pills after giving a few instructions to the girls.

At present, he is practicing essence, energy, and spirit at the same time.

However, the progress of these three paths is not uniform.

Among them, the one that has made the most progress is naturally the cultivation of "qi", which is the corresponding cultivation of mana.

The main skill "Holy Light Yuanling Jue" has reached the sixth level and has broken through to the late stage of foundation building.

As for the other two cultivation directions, the current progress is about the same.

Corresponding to the practice of "God's" "Dayan Jue", Gu Changqing has almost completed the second level of practice. He only needs an opportunity to break through the bottleneck and continue the third level of practice.

And a vague premonition told him that the opportunity for this breakthrough should not be far away.

This also made Gu Changqing feel a little hopeful.

As for the Dayan Jue on the fourth level

You can't practice until you reach the elixir-forming stage, and there is also a mental state of being in the world that you must go through, otherwise you will not be able to withstand the backlash of inner demons during the fourth level of practice.

As for the final physical training method corresponding to "Jing", "Nine Transformations of Xuan Ling".

Although the training time is the shortest, with the supply of a large number of thousand-year-old elixirs and bone-tempering pills that are almost free, the progress is the fastest.

Although he has not yet reached the peak of the second level of cultivation, his physical cultivation is already comparable to that of a Dharma cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.

And it’s not the kind that just broke through.

After a detailed evaluation and careful consideration, Gu Changqing decided:

First, cultivate the "Holy Light Yuanling Jue" to the peak of the sixth level, the "Dayan Jue" to the peak of the third level, and the "Nine Transformations of the Mysterious Spirit" to the peak of the second level.

That is to say, these three skills can be practiced to the limit in the foundation building period before starting to break through the bottleneck of forming pills.

Although in the mortal world view, there is no such thing as "nine levels of elixirs", monks' golden elixirs are also set according to quality.

It seems that the golden elixir condensed by all the elixir-forming monks is similar. The strength of different monks' combat power is mainly determined by the difference in realm or skill, the depth of their magic power, and the strength of their treasures and magical powers. .

But as the three cornerstones of cultivation-jing, qi, and spirit.

Gu Changqing always believes that the best state among the three is to maintain a balance of power.

Being too strong or too weak in any aspect is extremely abnormal.

Therefore, he wanted to form the elixir in the best condition and form the most perfect golden elixir!

Taking a step back, even if his guess is wrong, whether it is the "Nine Transformations of the Mysterious Spirit" or the "Dayan Jue", it is said that they have the effect of increasing the probability of forming a pill, so there will definitely be no problem in practicing it. .

He is only about thirty years old now.

Compared with the lifespan of 250 years in the foundation period, he is not even considered a young man. He has a lot of time to practice without worrying about not having enough lifespan.

It is a very cost-effective thing to form elixirs at a later time and build a more stable Taoist foundation for a better journey on the road to immortality!

With this thought in mind, Gu Changqing sat cross-legged in the middle of the training room, raised his head and swallowed a Jade Spirit Pill, and began his first retreat after coming to the Chaos Star Sea.

As for Junior Sister Chen and the others.

Because of Gu Changqing's instructions, they rarely went out and mostly stayed in the cave to practice.

In addition to Yan Ruyan, who practiced extremely hard, two girls, Junior Sister Chen and Xin Ruyin, who were not particularly enthusiastic about cultivation before meeting Gu Changqing, also began to practice hard in order to follow in Gu Changqing's footsteps.

Especially Xin Ruyin, apart from the research on formations, she devoted almost all her time to practice.

Under this situation, coupled with the almost unlimited supply of elixirs, the cultivation of the three people was almost visible to the naked eye.

Because of the blessing of Tianlinggen, Yan Ruyan's cultivation has improved the most, almost catching up with Chen Qiaoqian, who has the highest cultivation level among the three girls.

Even Xiaomei, infected by this atmosphere, stopped slacking off and began to practice hard to attack the foundation building stage.

Time passed quietly like this.

The stone door of Gu Changqing's training room has never been opened again.

Junior sister Chen and Xin Ruyin, who usually only have time to practice, would occasionally come to the stone gate to stay for a while when they missed Gu Changqing.

However, eight months after the retreat began, the stone door of Gu Changqing's training room opened again with a "rumbling" sound.
