The Path to Immortality: Starting with an Analysis of Basic Concepts

The full name of "Siren Nigiri" is "Siren Nigiri".

This is a carnivorous aquatic algae plant with a dense root system and slender branches. It gets its name from the fact that its flower buds and fruits resemble a hanging girl in a cloak, swaying and making a laughing sound.

It belongs to the top-tier water-elemental spirit species, and its effect is to enhance the soul. It is also one of the most precious among top-tier spirit species.

According to Cai Ling.

A Lord-level "Siren Fox" fruit would cost at least ten jade coins in the market, and its spirit seed is rare and highly sought after, rarely seen on the market. At least, I've never seen one for sale.

"Jia Twenty-Three is a good insect..."

Zhu Yu sighed, but when he thought that the "Sea Witch" fruit was useless to him, an extraterrestrial cultivator, his joy faded a little. However, when he thought that the spirit seed could earn him a huge amount of life stones in the future, his mood improved again.

He immediately opened the spider silk bag, somewhat impatiently.

The cloth bag was opened.

whee…

Accompanied by a melodious, bell-like laugh, Zhu Yu took out a fruit that was cloaked, had a blurred face, and had a line resembling a mouth.

"This is the 'Siren Tanuki' fruit..."

He examined it closely. Logically, since it was not "given by the gods," its effect of strengthening the soul should be useless to him, but for some reason, a sense of longing welled up in his heart.

It was as if it were some kind of delicacy, and they couldn't wait to swallow it.

"Could it be that it will work for me?... "

Zhu Yu's mind stirred slightly, but he did not swallow it immediately. He forcibly suppressed the desire in his heart and reached his claws into the spider silk bag.

Accompanied by laughter.

Take out three "Siren Girl" fruits.

And a tiny figure, exquisitely and adorably carved from jade, with its eyes closed and draped in a purple cloak.

Just as he was examining the "Siren Girl" fruit.

Cai Ling also peeked over, examining the spirit seed, and spoke in a slightly high-pitched voice.

"Cai Ling heard from the insects that only the spirit seed nurtured by the 'Sea Witch Queen Lord's' life seed is purple-clad, and Jia Twenty-Three wasn't lying."

"Is there anything different about the purple robes?... "

Zhu Yu's eyes lit up slightly, and he quickly asked.

Cai Ling thought for a moment and said, "Zi Yi has the potential to become a 'divinely gifted' being."

"Um!?…"

Zhu Yu was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and said with some doubt and shock, "Cai Ling, don't lie to Ju Feng. 'God-given' is something you're born with, how could it possibly be 'God-given'!..."

Cai Ling proudly raised her head and said, "As long as the giant peak nurtures a 'Life Realm' and then transforms into a King-level Zerg warrior, this 'Sea Siren Fox' can be nurtured into a 'Divine Gift'."

"The Realm of Fate? ...King-level?..."

Zhu Yu looked at it with suspicion.

"The 'Fate Realm' is..."

Cai Ling opened her mouth as if to explain something, but the words that came out turned into meaningless cries. She was stunned for a moment, her proud demeanor immediately faltered, and she turned her head away and stopped talking.

"Um?…"

Zhu Yu felt a chill run down his spine.

Just as Cai Ling was about to explain the "Fate Realm," he suddenly sensed a strange and eerie force emerging, distorting Cai Ling's words into meaningless cries.

"This power..."

He dared not ask any more questions, carefully put away the "Siren Fox" spirit seed, and prepared to nurture it in his life pouch in the next stage. He turned to look at Cai Ling, who was obviously very disappointed, thought for a moment, picked up a "Siren Fox" and handed it to her.

"Here you go, Cailing."

Cai Ling glanced at him in surprise, then shook her head. "Ju Feng, you eat it. The 'Sea Witch' fruit is useless to me."

"Is it no use...?"

Zhu Yu nodded, turned around, and flew to it with the spider silk bag containing the "Flesh Fruit." "Want some 'Flesh Fruit'?"

This time, Cai Ling did not refuse and took five coins.

Zhu Yu didn't say anything. Looking at the remaining fourteen "Flesh Ganoderma Fruits" and feeling the longing gazes behind him, he thought for a moment and took out one of the "Flesh Ganoderma Fruits".

He turned around and waved to Firetail.

When it happily ran over, he handed it the "Flesh Fruit" and said, "Firetail, this is a Lord-level 'Flesh Fruit.' You can share it with Baldy and White Fur."

"This..." Firetail looked at the "Meat Fruit" in front of him, smelling its rich meaty aroma, and swallowed hard, almost involuntarily. He tried to take it several times, but after a moment's hesitation, he shook his head and refused.

"Kyoho, this is so precious."

"It's too wasteful to feed it to Firetail and Baldy, let's keep the Giant Beetle..."

His words were spread.

Although the bald-headed spirit beasts were somewhat disappointed, they all nodded in agreement, having witnessed how many jade coins Zhu Yu had taken out.

Such precious spiritual food is not something they can eat.

"Firetail went to divide it."

Zhu Yu wanted to try the "Siren Girl" fruit, so without saying a word, he stuffed the "Flesh Ganoderma" fruit into Huowei's arms and turned to fall.

Firetail held the "Flesh Ganoderma" fruit, feeling both excited and flustered.

What's exciting is that Zhu Yu is still the generous insect he always was, giving away such a precious spiritual fruit without hesitation.

What's unsettling is that they haven't done anything along the way, just eating and drinking for free; it makes me feel a little uneasy.

Clever as it is, Firetail thinks even more deeply.

Having roamed the desolate borderlands for many years, it knows that a relationship based solely on taking without giving back cannot last. If it were a spirit beast that was useless but still ate its spiritual energy food, it would definitely not stand for it and would stay far away from it.

But now that same thing has happened to me.

This made the spirit beast both happy and apprehensive...

With this thought in mind, Firetail returned to Baldy and the other spirit beasts in a daze. Watching his companions excitedly inhale deeply and drool, he thought to himself that he hadn't done that, and proudly raised his head.

But its smugness didn't last long. When it heard Bai Er say to hurry up and share the food, it was stunned for a moment, and then it launched into a tirade of scolding.

The implication is clear.

It's basically saying that Bai Er only knows how to eat.

This made Bai Er very resentful, but after Hei Da swung his tail at him, he immediately became obedient.

Seeing this, Fire Tail couldn't say anything more. Although Black Python's cultivation was weaker than its own, it really wasn't confident that it could defeat this big black python if they really fought.

At this time.

Several voices interrupted in succession.

"It smells so good."

"Sharing the fruit."

"Hurry up and divide it up. Kuroko will treat you guys to another meal when we get back to 'Cerberus Market'."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Firetail and the other spirit beasts all looked at it.

Firetail gave Black Ambassador a look, and Black Ambassador understood immediately. His enormous serpentine body slithered and drove the shameless three-headed dog out of the circle.

汪…

The three-headed dog bared its teeth.

Firetail and Baldhead weren't afraid of any of them. This wasn't the "Cerberus Market." If they weren't afraid of angering Giant Beetle, they would have beaten the Cerberus to a pulp.

"You leave, Jufeng gave it to us." Bai Er raised his head high, his body exuding a chilling aura.

Firetail, Baldhead, White Hair, and Blackie all unleashed their power in succession.

"Damn you country bumpkin."

"Woof..."

"Hmph, you dare to hit Hei Zi, the Ancestor will not let you get away with this."

Blackie, the three-headed dog, bared its teeth and retreated as it spoke, finally running to the stream in a flash, looking as if it might run away at any moment.

"Tsk, natives are natives..."

Black Soil, who was not far away, watched the commotion. Although the "meat fruit" smelled good, it was harmful to it and naturally wouldn't eat it.

He glanced at it a few times, then looked away, patted the spider silk pouch on his chest, and felt a surge of joy at the foreign object inside. (Currently reading Chapter 312 of Cola Novels: The Siren, the Boundary of Fate, and the Conquest (Please subscribe, I'm completely engrossed).)

"The 'Great-nosed Weevil' truly lives up to its reputation as one of the Ten Great Tribes; they're incredibly generous! A single jade coin can buy fifteen drops of 'Life Dew'..."

"Once we reach the 'Fungal Realm,' we'll use the 'Red Fire Ant' clan's one-way teleportation array to transfer the 'Life Dew' to our main body..."

"If only I could get a 'divine gift'..."

Black Earth, still greedy, couldn't help but let his gaze fall on the giant winged wasp not far away.

"If I could get my hands on a 'divinely bestowed' plant, selling it to this generous fool wouldn't be bad."

Time passed slowly.

The next day.

As dawn broke, a light mist hung over the mountains and forests.

Zhu Yu slowly opened his eyes, a look of joy on them.

The "Siren Girl" fruit has a salty, sweet, and savory flavor, which is quite good, but that's not important. What's important is that the "Siren Girl" fruit is indeed useful to him.

The total number of Divine Soul Particles remains unchanged at six thousand.

However, under the influence of the "Siren Girl" fruit, the "Dao Foundation" was refined and strengthened by more than 30%, the mind became more agile, and the divine consciousness also seemed to be transforming into "divine consciousness".

Through refining the fruit, he discovered that the "Siren Fox" fruit contained a very thin, almost invisible "Spiritual Ruins Origin," which seemed to act as a catalyst, making the "Siren Fox" very useful to cultivators from other realms.

And then it didn't stop.

Two days have passed in a row.

Zhu Yu refined the remaining two "Sea Witch Foxes" one by one. As expected, he successfully tempered them into divine thoughts that could interfere with the mortal world, which gave him another means of survival.

at the same time.

He was just one step away from reaching the second instar when he was kicked away by the Lord-level "Siren Girl" fruit. Under the care of Cai Ling and Bald Head, Zhu Yu underwent a second molt. Three days later, he successfully advanced to the second instar advanced insectoid warrior and put the top-level spirit seed "Siren Girl Algae" into his life pouch, nurturing it into a life seed.

It immediately stopped.

Led by the red imported fire ant "Sheep", the group of insects and beasts set off again, and soon disappeared into the depths of the mountains and forests.

……

Immortal Tomb and Spirit Ruins.

Qingping Tower, Tomb Island.

Upon receiving the message from the distracted spirit, Zhu Yu immediately looked up some information about the "Insect Realm".

What puzzled him was...

Information about the "Insect Realm" mostly describes it as abundant, teeming with spiritual creatures, a treasure trove, and so on...

However, there are few records about the "Zerg," the dominant race in the "Zerg World."

Some say they are a spiritually gifted alien race, natural masters of spiritual plants, but no more specific information is available.

"Is it genuine ignorance, or is it intentional?... "

Zhu Yu frowned, and with a slight thought, a light screen appeared. Looking at the quiet chat group, he mentally entered a message.

[Yinming: Fellow senior brothers and sisters, are you familiar with the Insect Realm?]

next moment.

A message appeared.

[Wind Howl: I knew that the junior brother who chose the name "Yinming" was no ordinary person. Could it be that the junior brother wants to conquer the "Insect World"? In that case, the senior brother will sponsor you a thousand armor-piercing bronze statues.]

Wind Howl: No need to give spirit stones, just give a few words of "divine gift" or "mountain lord realm" insectoid remains later.

[Image: Grinning with wide eyes.]

He didn't wait for Zhu Yu's reply.

Another message popped up.

[Nine: Junior brother, you're awesome!]

Zhuiyun: Junior brother, you're amazing!

Dead Soul: Junior brother, you're awesome!

Hua Lian: As expected of the extraordinary man I have chosen, Junior Brother Yinming is indeed different from others. Go and conquer the Insect Realm, I will wait for your triumphant return!

Fiora: Don't be shameless.

Hua Lian: ? Zhou**, you bastard, I'm so ***…

Ding: Hua Lian has been silenced by Huiyue Zhenren (for one day).

Bai Ze: !

Howling Wind: !

Nine poems:!

Soul Eater: !

Dead Souls: !

Bai Ze: ?

"Huiyue Zhenren": Haha, fellow disciples, are you surprised or not?

Speaking of leading into the abyss... that's really...

Ding: Huiyue Zhenren has been warned and silenced by Bai Ze.

Bai Ze: To make a long story short.

"Huiyue Zhenren": Qingping Zhenjun.

"Shining Moon Immortal": Everyone, the expedition is about to begin, so prepare as soon as possible.

"Huiyue Zhenren": Junior Brother Yinming, don't try anything with the "Insect Realm". It's pretending to be stupid to gather fish and fish. Let's just pretend we don't know and take a bite of the small fish and shrimp.

The wind howls: Wealth and honor are determined by fate…

Ding: Wind Howl has been banned from speaking by True Person Radiant Moon (for one month).

"Huiyue Zhenren": It's been a century since we last met, and Junior Brother Feng is still as hardworking as ever. So let's have Junior Brother lead the charge this time.

Nine: Agreed.

Soul Eater: Agreed.

Bai Ze: Agreed.

Blind Day: Agreed.

Qiyu: Agreed.

...]

"fishing…"

Zhu Yu looked thoughtful, and when his gaze fell on the word "expedition," his expression became slightly solemn.

"Is it time to begin...?"

Previously, Master Ma had subtly mentioned that now that the sect leader, "Master Huiyue," had been pulled out of the abyss by "Master Qingping," he had even more bluntly proposed an expedition, the purpose of which was self-evident.

"Martial world..."

Thinking of this, Zhu Yu felt no fear, but rather a sense of eagerness. Stealing resources from one world after another was nothing compared to conquering a foreign spiritual realm and seizing it directly.

However, he needs to prepare as early as possible before that.

Putting everything else aside, at least he needs to build up a force of cannon fodder for conquering cities and seizing strongholds; otherwise, he'll have to personally get involved in everything, which will be incredibly troublesome.

The goal is to quickly assemble a qualified force of cannon fodder.

Zhu Yu's thoughts were focused on the "Tu Yu Ren" bloodline he had refined.

Rooted in the "Life Spirit Ruins", it only requires a certain amount of resources to quickly cultivate a batch of Tu Yuren warriors.

"Resources..."

Zhu Yu carefully sensed it and immediately felt relieved.

The materials needed to train "Fishman" warriors are all low-level spiritual items, which are not valuable. With his wealth, it is not difficult to raise a force of about 100,000 "Fishman" warriors. The difficulty lies in how to train them to be usable.

He thought of "whale".

Since they are all of the same kind, training them will definitely be more effective.

I made up my mind.

Zhu Yu directly ordered a large quantity of materials through his identity jade slip. While waiting, he closed his eyes and concentrated, returning his mind to his "natal spiritual realm." With a slight thought, the divine power seed "Mysterious Water Thunder" obtained from the "Sea" and the divine power seed "Water Control" obtained from the "Storm" flew out from the ground.

"go."

The two seeds of supernatural power transformed into streams of light and disappeared into the dark sun in the sky.

In an instant.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.

The earth surged, and springs emerged one after another, gushing forth clear, cool water that spread in all directions.
