Junior sister, I really need to control you

While urging Mu Xiaoyu to eat the remaining fried insects, Li Yinsheng pondered whether he should try to find some more spirit insects to fry.

Although it can't compare to this giant fleshy worm that can only increase cultivation by twenty or thirty years, it should be somewhat similar, right?

Unfortunately, it seems that no Taoist temple under the Zhengyang lineage raises insects.

When my cultivation level is higher in the future, perhaps I can take a trip to Thousand Insect Valley.

They should have no trouble finding tasty insects there, right?

Speaking of which, the insect cloud's storage bag hasn't been thoroughly checked yet; there might be some edible things inside.

"Let's see!" Li Yinsheng immediately made up his mind.

A moment later, Mu Xiaoyu reluctantly swallowed the last bite of fried insects.

"Hiccup..." She hiccuped unconsciously.

Then she sensed something was wrong.

Something seemed to have "condensed" within her, making her feel exceptionally "full".

This feeling was strange. She could tell that it was not harmful to her, and it did not affect her movements or the flow of her magic, but she just felt very uncomfortable, as if her whole body was being stretched out.

"Senior brother, I feel something's wrong. Is this bug poisonous?" Mu Xiaoyu asked worriedly.

"Oh? Junior sister, do you think something's wrong?" Li Yinsheng asked.

Mu Xiaoyu told Li Yinsheng how she felt, and Li Yinsheng nodded, looking as if he had expected it.

This is because the energy in the fried insects was too pure and concentrated to be refined in a short time.

As a tonic prepared by a true cultivator for himself, how could someone like my junior sister, who only has ten or so years of cultivation, easily enjoy it?

When she ate the crane's egg, the Qingxuan True Scripture immediately advanced from the first level to the second level.

After eating the peach, the Qingxuan True Scripture was upgraded to the third level.

But after eating this fried insect, his cultivation level remained almost unchanged.

All the energy in the insect is now solidified within her body and has not been transformed into cultivation.

Only through gradual refinement can it be transformed into something useful for her.

Fortunately, she had already undergone the process of cleansing her marrow and strengthening her meridians, which were further consolidated and expanded during the third level of the Qingxuan True Scripture, allowing her to move freely while accommodating this energy.

If it were a cultivator with a similar cultivation level, even their normal mana circulation would be affected.

"Junior sister, don't worry. It's just that the energy in the insect is difficult to refine," Li Yinsheng comforted her with a smile. "Once you refine all the energy in it, you won't feel this way anymore."

Mu Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief: "How long will it take to refine?"

“With Junior Sister’s current cultivation level, if she continues to cultivate diligently every day, it will take at least five or six years,” Li Yinsheng said, stroking his chin.

"Oh..." Mu Xiaoyu nodded, not in a hurry.

Five or six years isn't a long time.

Anyway, I didn't feel uncomfortable, but it was a bit strange that I could feel this uncontrollable energy in my body all the time.

But you'll probably get used to it and it won't be a problem, right?

“Oh, I almost forgot, before this energy is completely refined, Junior Sister might also be slightly affected…” Li Yinsheng said.

Mu Xiaoyu suddenly felt a little nervous.

“But they are all minor impacts…” Li Yinsheng said.

Mu Xiaoyu relaxed.

"For example, if this energy is not refined for a long time, it will gradually disperse in your body, which may turn you, junior sister, into a big fat girl weighing two or three hundred pounds." Li Yinsheng slowly uttered the second half of the sentence.

Mu Xiaoyu was struck dumb.

No wonder I felt a sense of fullness, as if I was being stretched out!

She subconsciously pictured herself weighing two or three hundred pounds, looking like a round ball...

"No! No way!" Mu Xiaoyu screamed, covering her head.

"Senior brother! Senior brother, save me!" She lunged forward, grabbing Li Yinsheng's leg and sobbing uncontrollably. "Senior brother, I can't become like this, I absolutely can't... I'll never be able to face my parents again, waaaaaah..."

"Don't be afraid, junior sister," Li Yinsheng comforted her. "This varies from person to person, and not everyone will experience this. Some people are lucky and nothing will happen to them."

"But senior brother, I've always had bad luck!" Mu Xiaoyu cried.

"You'll be fine once you've refined all the energy in your body," Li Yinsheng continued to comfort him.

"Five or six years is too long! It's too long!" Mu Xiaoyu continued to sob.

“Hmm…” Li Yinsheng pondered for a moment and said, “If Junior Sister is very worried, I do have a way to help you speed up the refining process.”

"Senior brother! I knew you had the best ideas!" Mu Xiaoyu's sorrow turned to joy.

“Although this method can speed up the refining process, it is extremely arduous,” Li Yinsheng said. “Anyway, these energies can be refined through normal cultivation, so why should Junior Sister make things difficult for herself?”

"Senior brother, I'm not afraid!" Mu Xiaoyu's face was resolute, and every word he spoke seemed to be cast in iron.

"Good ambition!" Li Yinsheng patted Mu Xiaoyu on the shoulder with satisfaction.

He then touched his heart, and a dense mass of Bing Fire energy was drawn out.

This was the method he came up with to help his junior sister speed up the refining process.

Although the Blood Refining Pivot was originally used to temper blood and qi, Li Yinsheng had already mastered it to the extreme after using it for so many years, and it was no problem for him to develop some new uses.

As long as one uses magic to transport those energies that are difficult to refine through the heart meridian, one can use the Blood Refining Pivot to assist in refining them.

He even specially planned a simple energy transfer method for his junior sister to accelerate the refining process and improve efficiency.

However, although this is not a tempering of blood and qi, the magical power still flows through the fire element, and the energy refined by the fire element will also be transformed into cultivation...

When using it, the physical sensation should not be much different from normal qi and blood tempering.

Although, in a stricter sense, the Blood Refining Pivot is certainly not as painful as the initial few times of cleansing the tendons and marrow during the Pure Profound Divine Light, it is still necessary to use the Blood Refining Pivot continuously during future cultivation.

However, correspondingly, with such pure energy, and with the aid of the Blood Refining Pivot to refine it, the foundation will be much more solid than that of a cultivator who cultivates steadily, and the quality of magic power will also be greatly improved.

"This is the Blood Refining Pivot that I used to aid my cultivation. Although it was originally used to temper blood and qi, if used properly, it can also help you refine the energy of this insect."

"As long as you follow my method and move those energies to the Blood Refining Pivot to assist in refining them, it will be enough to convert them all into cultivation in seven or eight months at most."

Li Yinsheng cautioned, "However, using this item is like being burned by raging fire, which is extremely unbearable. You should think carefully before you use it."

Mu Xiaoyu's eyes showed no fear, only determination: "Senior brother, I cannot become like that, not even in death!"

Moved by her determination, Li Yinsheng pushed the Blood Refining Pivot into her heart.

The fire element entered her body, but since it hadn't been activated yet, Mu Xiaoyu only felt a warm sensation in her heart.

She looked up and glanced at the bronze mirror on the table not far away.

The woman in the mirror was slender and well-proportioned. Although she wasn't a stunning beauty, she was still pretty and charming, and stood tall and graceful.

"I will absolutely not let you turn into a big fat pig!" Mu Xiaoyu looked at herself in the mirror and made a silent vow.

Looking at Mu Xiaoyu's determined eyes, Li Yinsheng couldn't help but ask, "Junior Sister, do you regret eating that worm now?"

Mu Xiaoyu was taken aback when she heard the question.

Several complex expressions flashed across her face, but in the end they all turned into a look of piety, like the saying "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening," as she looked up at Li Yinsheng.

"No, senior brother, I have no regrets."

Li Yinsheng was deeply moved by this piety and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

In that instant, he had the illusion that he saw the Dao Heart in his junior sister.

If Junior Sister's devotion were directed towards the sword, perhaps even without innate talent, she could become a renowned swordsman.

Li Yinsheng was so engrossed in his reflections that he forgot to tell his junior sister something important.

While there are indeed cases of people being enlarged in size after consuming treasures they couldn't refine, they are very rare.

It is so rare that in the countless records of sights and sounds at Xuanzhen Temple, only one such example is recorded.

Furthermore, considering that when the elders in the temple recorded their observations and experiences, they would also include hearsay stories...

Therefore, the authenticity of this sole example remains to be verified.

Chapter 79 Crimson Mosquito, Divine Weapon for Body Cultivation

Late at night, in Li Yinsheng's bamboo house.

He had already sent his junior sister back to cultivate before dark, and was now leaning back in his recliner, examining the Qiankun bag and a delicate metal cage that he had obtained from Chongyun.

The metal cage was a hollow metal ball, entirely silver, only the size of a walnut.

Although it doesn't look big, it has a lot of secrets inside, containing several kinds of strange insects that Li Yinsheng doesn't recognize.

The Qiankun Bag cannot be used to contain most living things; its existence must be specifically for raising insects.

However, as soon as Chongyun died, it seemed that some kind of restriction was triggered on these insects, and they all died, leaving behind countless corpses.

Li Yinsheng directly put the insect corpses into Chongyun's Qiankun bag, quite disappointed.

As he went through Chongyun's belongings, he wondered if he could find some tasty insects.

But this person was truly not on the right path; none of the insects in the cage looked edible, and their auras were all mixed up and unpleasant.

However, when he examined the spirit insect cage itself, he found that it seemed to have been refined by the insect cloud not long ago, and the refinement was very shallow. He didn't know where his insects had been stored before.

Li Yinsheng wasn't really interested in the spirit insect cage, since he didn't have any insects to raise.

But after looking through Chongyun's Qiankun bag, he changed his mind.

Chongyun didn't seem to be wealthy. In his Qiankun bag, besides some materials, pills, and talismans that would be valuable to ordinary cultivators but were commonplace to True Immortals, there were only a few books of extraordinary material and a dozen or so red and white insect eggs, each the size of a sesame seed.

It seems that because the life force in the insect eggs is extremely weak and restrained, they can be placed in a Qiankun bag, but they probably won't survive after hatching.

Li Yinsheng flipped through several books.

It records the strange insects and large fleshy worms he saw, which were methods that Chongyun created himself based on some old and incomplete ancient books from the Thousand Insect Valley.

The books contain mostly information related to this insidious method.

It includes several failed experiences and reflections, methods for cultivating alien insects and mother insects, and various other miscellaneous related knowledge.
