I am an insect

He ate enough for several people by himself, leaving the waiter secretly astonished, wondering how this seemingly refined young couple could eat so much.

After eating and drinking their fill, Ji Ye and Lin Ya returned to the new house where He Longtao and Ye Xuan had gotten married.

After a short rest, Lin Ya began to teach the cultivation method for adult insects.

Following Lin Ya's instructions, the two sat cross-legged on the bed, facing each other.

"Sit cross-legged, then close your eyes slightly. First, focus on the tip of your nose for a moment, about two or three minutes. Then, close your eyes and look inward at your heart area. Listen to your own breathing without making a sound... With each exhale, let your mind travel from your throat down to your heart area, gradually slowing down and lengthening it as much as possible. Remember to let your inhale be natural, gradually reaching a state of no thought and no awareness..."

"At this point, you will gradually sense that the entire world is filled with the energy of intention, just like air is everywhere. In fact, the core of this adult insect cultivation method is how to absorb and guide this energy of intention that permeates the world into your own intention body. Over time, more and more energy enters the intention body, becoming stronger and stronger. Our intention body will naturally rise with it, becoming stronger and stronger... When the energy accumulated in the intention body reaches a certain limit, it can trigger a qualitative change..."

As Lin Ya spoke, she stretched out her right hand, and a yellow spike appeared from her right hand and extended outwards.

"This is a bee sting, also formed from the condensation of mental energy. When our mental body becomes powerful enough, the power accumulated within it can break through the body's constraints and extend outwards. Its actual essence is not complicated; it can basically be regarded as highly compressed mental energy with high density..."

"Of course, because each of us is different, we are not exactly the same after we become adults. Each adult has its own characteristics, and this extension is the manifestation of these characteristics."

"Just like my extension is a bee stinger, this ability is similar to the stinger of a wasp, containing potent venom. I remember my teacher saying that all living beings on Earth, no, I should say in the universe, are insects, and these insects share certain similarities..."

"Just like the bee sting ability I possess now, it's actually somewhat similar to the stinger of a wasp..."

Ji Ye hummed in agreement, wondering if his extension was a hook, similar to a scorpion's tail hook? Or perhaps some species he didn't know about?

"Through continuous practice, the energy accumulated in our mind and body becomes stronger and stronger, and the power we release through extensions will also become stronger and stronger. I heard from the teacher that it is not difficult to reach the limit of the initial state of adult insects by practicing this adult insect cultivation method. I have been practicing for almost a year and I feel that I am not far from the limit."

Ji Ye asked, "What happens after reaching the limit of the initial state?"

Lin Ya shook her head and said, "I don't know. The teacher only said that it's possible to break through the initial state of the adult insect and enter the next form, but he didn't go into details."

"Anyway, we're currently in the initial state, which is just the earliest and weakest form of an adult insect. Like you said before, maybe once we break through the initial state, we won't necessarily need to rely on someone else's body anymore..."

Ji Ye nodded and said nothing more. He memorized Lin Ya's explanation of the adult insect cultivation method, then closed his eyes and tried it out.

The cultivation method he obtained from the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic has some similarities with the cultivation method for adult insects. For example, both require entering a state of meditation without thoughts or consciousness, sensing the mental energy existing in the world, and then using breathing to transport it into one's own body, absorbing it and transforming it into one's own energy, gradually strengthening the mental body.

However, the specific methods differ.

With his previous cultivation experience, Ji Ye quickly entered the meditative state required for the adult insect cultivation method. In this state, even though it was daytime, Ji Ye could still feel the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

Especially at the bottom of the earth, the energy of thought contained therein is almost inexhaustible, and its depths are far beyond his current comprehension.

After trying for a while, Ji Ye reopened his eyes.

He followed the steps of this adult insect cultivation method, absorbing mental energy within the same timeframe, but the effect was not as good as the method recorded in the "Huangdi Neijing".

It seems that the adult insect cultivation method taught by this teacher is not as good as the "Huangdi Neijing" that I obtained.

Seeing that Ji Ye opened his eyes after only a short while of cultivation, Lin Ya said, "How was it? Did you feel the effect? ​​Your talent is much stronger than mine. You can produce extensions even without a systematic cultivation method. Your cultivation speed is definitely much faster than mine."

Ji Ye said, "It does have some effect; this adult insect cultivation method is indeed miraculous..."

After a pause, he got out of bed and said, "I just remembered something. I have to go out for a bit and won't be back tonight."

Although he and Lin Ya are currently only companions, because of their physical condition, He Longtao and Ye Xuan are newlyweds, so Ji Ye thought that he should still tell Lin Ya that he wouldn't be coming back tonight.

Lin Ya nodded and said, "Okay, I also have some things to take care of. By the way, if you have time tonight, try this cultivation method again. It's most effective when you cultivate at night."

Ji Ye responded and then left.

Unlike Lin Ya's complete trust in her teacher, he, who had lived for a hundred years, trusted no one but himself.

He had a vague feeling that the teacher was hiding something from them. He didn't know what it was, but deep down he felt a strong sense of crisis.

He killed the young man in the white hat that year, as well as the giant dog named "Mantis". Lin Ya ambushed and killed Brother Yong. The other side suffered huge losses, and even their leader in the "Dacheng District", Tian Cang, was alarmed. So, is it really true, as the teacher and Lin Ya said, that they can no longer find him?

After switching to He Longtao's body, can I really rest easy?

"That's unreasonable... That young man named Ayang has a dog that can track the aura of a mind-body. Is it possible that besides this dog, Tian Cang really has no other way to track me? He's the leader of these people, is he really less capable than his own subordinates?"

"When the teacher heard Lin Ya finish speaking, his expression changed. Perhaps he had thought of something, but he quickly returned to normal, as if he was afraid we would become suspicious. There must be something strange about this..."

Ji Ye pondered all the way, feeling a little heavy-hearted. He hoped he was wrong and that his teacher was truly trustworthy, but deep down he didn't dare to completely trust his teacher. He had to make some preparations, and the most important thing now was to improve his strength as much as possible.

"This teacher said that when a person lives to be a hundred years old, special changes will occur. Even animals can become spirits after living for a long time, let alone humans. I've lived to be one hundred and one years old, which means I've broken the one hundred-year lifespan limit... If he's not lying, then I'm somewhat different from ordinary adult insects now. But what exactly is that difference?"

After leaving the house, he didn't drive He Longtao's car, but instead took a taxi to "Zunyue Mansion".

He decided to go and look at the ancient book "Huangdi Neijing" again, hoping to find out if there were any records of this. If he really was different from ordinary adult insects, he wanted to find out what that difference was.

Perhaps this is crucial.
