Chapter 886: Raising Insects
"If I want to raise insects, I'll need a lot of popularity. This is because insect magic can extract the resentment of the people in the world, as well as all kinds of greed, cunning and vicious thoughts. The popularity of this place is quite suitable for my practice."

This art of raising insects has naturally become a side door. Calling it a side door is an exaggeration. In fact, it is more like a magic method of the devil. If Li Ming joined a famous and orthodox sect like the Shushan Sword Sect, he would naturally give people a chance to criticize him. But it is different for the Luo Zhen Immortal Sect. Luo Zhen is known for his thirty-six true teachings, eight hundred side doors, and three thousand unorthodox methods. There are many low-quality techniques in his own sect, so naturally he will not delve into other people's techniques.

As soon as the idea came to his mind, Li Ming acted immediately. He happened to walk to a barbecue stall and smelled an enticing aroma. Normally, Li Ming would not have any thoughts at all, but at this moment he deliberately indulged all kinds of thoughts in his mind and his appetite was aroused.

With the help of Bai Gu Caizi's magic, this thought immediately turned into reality. It was a tiny insect as thin as a hair, crawling back and forth on Li Ming's lips.

Li Ming couldn't help but shook his head. After all, he was a man who had seen and eaten a lot. The barbecue in this small night market really had no appeal to him. Even if he tried his best, it was only this little bit.

"But it's enough!" Li Ming said secretly in his heart, and at the same time he stretched out his hand to pick it up, and exhaled. The glutton immediately flew out along the air flow and landed on a tourist. He was just passing by, but he became inexplicably hungry when he smelled the fragrance, as if this barbecue was the most delicious food in the world, and his saliva was about to drip out.

He immediately shouted impatiently: "Quick, give me two skewers, no... ten!"

The greed in his heart was aroused and turned into an invisible breath. The greedy bug that was originally as big as a hair suddenly turned into a small insect with two wings and six legs, and bit the tourist hard. He couldn't bear it anymore, so he snatched the barbecue from the stall owner's hand, and bit it hard without caring whether it was grilled or not.

The stall owner was still confused and muttered, "Sir, why are you in such a hurry? It's not healed yet."

The gluttonous insect released by Li Ming also sucked enough, and then flew up according to Li Ming's thoughts and landed on the person next to him.

Seeing this, Li Ming smiled slightly, and followed the same method to create the sleepyhead, lazybug, confusedbug, etc.

It collected all kinds of distracting thoughts in the minds of these mortals, and for a while the whole night market became weird. Some people suddenly fell asleep while talking, some suddenly became confused while calculating accounts, and some were hungry and lustful.

Fortunately, they came and went quickly. Li Ming was not a big devil. He was just using people's hearts to practice. Those little bugs would not harm one person all the time. They would go to find another victim in a few seconds.

So it was a mess for a while, but no major problems occurred.

When the temperature was almost right, Li Ming made a hand gesture and said "stop"!
All I saw were insects that ordinary people couldn't see flying back from all directions. Some were big, some were small, some were long, some were short. Some were as beautiful as butterflies, some were as disgusting as maggots, and some were so weird in shape that people were scared at the sight of them.

But now Li Ming was unwilling to let these things come back. He just took out the Xuanran Pearl and shook it gently, and dozens of insects of all sizes drilled into it.

"This completes the first step, training the insect. However, you still have to keep it well and release it from time to time to absorb its popularity. Otherwise, there's a risk that it will devour its owner. No, not a risk, it's 100% certain to devour its owner!"

Although they have been received into the Xuanran Pearl, these insects are from Li Ming himself. Li Ming can clearly feel the various desires and feelings of flesh and blood connection from these insects.

Greed, confusion, and drowsiness affect Li Ming all the time. Only by releasing them to harm others like he just did can he alleviate this influence.

Li Ming couldn't help but shake his head. "No wonder the Hundred Poisons Master didn't further develop this method. It turns out you can release it, but you can't hold it back. If you indulge your lust, these insects will become even more terrifying, but holding them back will also be more difficult. Compared to temporary indulgence, long-term restraint is far more difficult! How many people in this world can maintain integrity throughout their lives, unaffected by desire?"

Compared to the backlash of the poisonous insect, this insect can be said to be constantly plucking your heartstrings. All kinds of thoughts run back and forth in your mind, absorbing the desires in other people's hearts to make these insects stronger.

"Never mind, just consider it as a way to temper my character. Right now, this is nothing."

Li Ming smiled slightly and practiced another self-defense spell. Although it was not very powerful, it was concealed and hard to defend against. It was perfect for sneak attacks!

At this time, he happened to walk in front of a scholar who had just been dozed off. He was holding an old blue book with yellowed pages in his hand, sitting in front of his stall with his head resting on his knees. Although the sleepiness had been taken away, he had not woken up yet.

Li Ming used the surrounding lights to look at what was on the scholar's stall. He saw that most of the items on the stall were various ancient books, some of which were covered with some weird graffiti that was impossible to understand. In addition to the various ancient books, there were some small decorative ornaments. They looked antique, but the workmanship was quite rough. No wonder he was so sleepy that he fell asleep. He was afraid that he would not be able to sell anything the whole night.

Li Ming flipped through it casually, and suddenly his eyes lit up, so he coughed.

"Cough cough."

"Hmm? Thick ones are fifty, thin ones are twenty, fixed price."

The scholar was dressed thinly and woke up from his slumber when he heard the sound. He mumbled something in a daze and looked up. He saw a young Taoist priest with a childish face. He did not look down on him but smiled instead.

"These are all left by my ancestors. In the past, some of them became Taoist priests in the mountains. Little Taoist priest, take a look at these."

Li Ming smiled and said, "I really believe what you said. This is the Daojing, which is said to be the first classic handed down by the founder of Taoism. It has been widely circulated for many years, and there are many versions. I can tell at a glance that yours is an ancient copy, and it is very valuable for collection."

As he spoke, Li Ming held up a book, on which the words "Dao Jing" were indeed written.

Upon seeing this, the scholar immediately perked up and said happily, "Young Taoist priest, you really know what you are talking about. If it were just an ordinary person, I wouldn't sell it to you. But this Taoist scripture must be sold to someone with a predestined relationship. I think you, Taoist priest, are that person!"

"How much does it cost to be able to talk?" Li Ming asked casually.

"It's not expensive, not expensive. The thick ones are fifty cents, and the thin ones are twenty cents. This one is neither thick nor thin, so it's thirty-five cents." The scholar said with a smile.
