Cultivation begins with harvest.

Under the morning light, the three figures were stretched very long, as if they stretched all the way to the end of the road.

The little boy in Lu Daxian's arms tugged at Lu Daxian's collar, pointing in a childish voice to the distant spirit field, one red and one white, with wind, rain, and thunder in between: "Dad?"

It seems to be asking what that is.

Lu Daxian choked up and couldn't answer for a moment.

He naturally knew the answer, but he didn't know how to say it. A child who could walk and talk couldn't understand such complicated details, mainly because he didn't know how to explain it to himself.

He had also glimpsed the best spiritual field in this branch building—Liu Yige's management—but just one ice mist array was enough to rival Liu Yige, not to mention so many other strange things.

As cultivators, Lu Da and his wife were beyond words in their astonishment, judging from their observation of qi.

The Land of Supreme Yang, the Ice Mist Array, Thunder Jade Emerald...

Like a small vase, yet revealing strange saplings everywhere; thorny, orange-yellow berries of unusual trees swaying by the irrigation ditch; a row of emerald bamboo brimming with wood essence…

Even in that brightly lit courtyard, there was an abundance of inspiration.

Now, Chen Guang's few acres of spiritual land have become a spectacle in this area, serving as a spur to the old and an inspiration to the new.

Even if they don't say it, the outer disciples still consider the Earth Hall to be a relatively ordinary category. After all, to stay in the Qingheng Sect, one needs to reach the late stage of Qi Refining within a limited time, and there are also some additional requirements. A considerable number of outer disciples will leave the Qingheng Sect.

The Flame Hall and the Spirit Hall possess unique skills; the Qi Hall and the Punishment Hall excel in combat talent; the Road Hall and the Service Hall have rich interpersonal relationships…

The Earth Hall has low barriers to entry, so it's possible to find someone temporarily to help with planting spiritual plants. However, there's a world of difference between true spiritual farmers and ordinary spiritual farmers. The former are either absorbed by the Earth Hall or taken in by other forces after leaving the sect. As a result, spiritual farmers who leave the Earth Hall generally don't have the real means to make a living. They are more professional in planting spiritual plants, but not professional enough to significantly improve the quality and quantity of their cultivation. Therefore, what they can do, others can also do.

Seeing how well Chen Guang managed the spirit fields, they naturally felt boundless hope for the future of the spirit farmers.

The upper and lower limits of spiritual farmers vary too much. Whether one can master the skills of spiritual plants and mobilize the essence of plants has become a huge watershed.

For example, Chen Guang was able to gain the favor of the Foundation Establishment Daoist.

Most spiritual farmers do not have the opportunity to meet the Taoist priest in private.

So much so that after seeing the flourishing of all things in Chen Guang's spiritual field, Lu Da was speechless. Right now, he was just gently coaxing his young son. The couple had swallowed their pride, calculated every benefit, and accumulated wealth. Not to mention offending their fellow disciples, they had at least lost a lot of goodwill. They couldn't catch up with someone like Chen Guang. All they could do was hope that their son would become a dragon.

Even if we once had some connection, it's now insignificant.

……

Within the variegated wood, the eggs of the purple venomous spider were stained with a layer of grayish-yellow and frosted light blue outer layer. Only the faint red marks remained on the eggs. At this moment, they suddenly began to tremble intermittently, with the frequency increasing. After a very violent and continuous tremor, they eerily calmed down.

"laugh"

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the extremely tough shell of the insect egg. At the same time, a layer of blood mist suddenly appeared on the egg and rushed into it at an astonishing speed. After several breaths, a slender, transparent, slightly purple limb emerged first, followed by a large head with round, black eyes like a gemstone, which stood there blankly.

Chen Guang, who was refining pills in the courtyard, seemed to sense something and looked in the direction of the Night Plague Bone Spotted Wood. Since the second forging of the Divine Forging, his senses had become much sharper, and he could sense the slightest changes—of course, there was a connection between them.

He personally modified the Purple Grass; he also set up methods to prevent the Purple Poison Spider eggs from hatching, so that they would form a blood mist spell to interfere with cognition. It wouldn't last long, but such a reminder would be enough for him to make some arrangements.

"It's just that one of them has matured."

Two pieces of variegated wood were quickly examined. One was centered around the night-borne disease bone, and the other was mainly in the miasma environment of the yellow mulberry. It was found that other insect eggs would still need a considerable amount of time to hatch, and the time would be quite long. This piece was definitely an anomaly, much earlier than its brothers and sisters.

Of the original fifty-odd intact insect eggs, about twenty were left unused, to be used later when we have more experience and better conditions.

Arriving in front of the hatched purple spider, it stared blankly, turning its head to look at Chen Guang in fits and starts.

This was the effect of the previously arranged method. Seeing this, Chen Guang first used the Ancestral Blood Seal to soothe the wound, then focused his energy in his chest, and the black blood threads hidden in his blood quickly condensed. Chen Guang cut his finger, and a strange drop of grayish-black blood appeared at the wound. The toxicity it carried caused the skin around the wound to develop unsettling symptoms of grayish-black veins. The skin on his finger dried up and turned into grayish-white flakes.

But this drop of black blood held a peculiar attraction for the Purple Poison Spider, which stared intently at it with its two large eyes.

This is the technique recorded on the Black Gu Golden Seal, called "Black Rainbow Guardian," a special insect master technique that can be mastered even by non-insect masters, though at a high cost.

The Black Rainbow Guard has three layers, which can be distinguished by the color of the condensed "spiritual blood": gray-black, pure black, and dark gold.

Those with higher-level spiritual blood naturally possess the authority to command and mobilize, while subordinates have the responsibility to obey. This is somewhat similar to the Spirit Crown of Beast Taming. The difference lies in the fact that the Spirit Crown exerts extremely strong suppression and control over its own kind, granting the ability to control and increase intelligence, and allowing the use of complex commands; while the Black Rainbow Guards are subordinates who follow their superiors, mainly focusing on obedience and restraint to prevent chaos. At the same time, all Black Rainbow Guards are loyal to the master who uses this skill.

At the same time, the Black Rainbow Guardian skill grants greater concealment during actions and stronger physical defense. In addition, it has some hidden and convenient effects: after death, it leaves behind an indelible rainbow light containing the attacker's information; after being seriously injured, it forms a rainbow-colored black cocoon to sustain its life; the energy of the Gu worms that die in the same area will be extracted and transferred to other Black Rainbow Guardians in the form of rainbow light...

The effects are varied and complex. Because they are so comprehensive, one cannot expect them to be too powerful. Moreover, Chen Guang has only cultivated the lowest level of the gray-black Black Rainbow Guardian Blood. However, this skill can save a lot of spell usage, making it less complicated and obscure.

The method of controlling Gu worms that Chen Guang obtained from the Hall of Living Spirits involved far more spells and spiritual objects than the Black Rainbow Guard, but its effects were not only inferior, but it also only had a few very limited powers.

This is skill. If it is not known for its power but for its versatility, then it is an extremely versatile attribute, a superior alternative to many ordinary spells, and it can be used in more than one generation.

However, this does not mean that ordinary spells are worthless. First, the skills are hard to obtain and learn, and second, the skills are always biased in a certain direction, and there is a gap between them and true "omnipotence".

The wonder of the Black Rainbow Guardian technique lies in the fact that even non-insect masters can master it after paying a considerable price. By enduring the corrosive toxicity and magical pollution caused by the black blood, it is possible to master it as a non-insect master. The wonder of this technique is that it uses blood as a carrier and blood vessels to replace meridians to complete the cultivation. Such ingenuity is amazing and shocking.

However, the damage caused by the special energy carried by blood is continuous and extends from the inside out. It can result in serious injury at the slightest level, and even death if one is not careful.

These two costs would be unbearable for most Qi Refining cultivators, but for Chen Guang, they were exactly what he wanted.

Lin Miao and Chao Shuijiang could easily suppress them, and Chen Guang even had to suppress Chao Shuijiang, otherwise the Black Rainbow Guard's energy would have been wiped out.

However, it must be admitted that the Black Rainbow Guardian's corrosive effect is amazing. When it is dispersed in the blood, it can be suppressed, but when it gathers into droplets, even the Nest Water Ginger cannot prevent the fingers from being burned.

The black blood finally condensed and dripped directly onto the Purple Poison Spider. Strangely, the blood droplet, which was several times larger than the Purple Poison Spider, was absorbed by the larvae of the Purple Poison Spider instantly, as if water had entered sand. The Purple Poison Spider's purple and transparent body slowly developed a layer of satin-like light that covered its body, and its aura became even weaker and less perceptible.

A close but not intimate connection also arose between Chen Guang and the Purple Poison Spider.

They were not relatives, but lackeys.

This feeling was clearly present in Chen Guang's mind, and it was a completely different feeling from that of the Thousand-Needle Wren.

"It's a pity I'm not an Insect Master. Gathering just one drop of spiritual blood has almost completely depleted all my reserves. If the Purple Poison Spiders awaken on a large scale, some of them won't be able to be controlled with the Black Rainbow Guardian's spiritual blood."

The best time for all insect control techniques is during the larval and egg stages, and the Black Rain Guardian is no exception.

But then I thought, how can one have it all? Being able to obtain a batch of Black Rainbow Guardians is already lucky enough. To ask for perfection would be greedy. To some extent, the need to gather and accumulate the spiritual blood of the Black Rainbow Guardians is another flaw in the technique.
