Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

The long worms were also attached to the flames and rolled around.

These long worms are social creatures. Apart from their strong skin and flesh defenses, the only weapons they can use for long-range attacks are their claws and their extremely corrosive saliva.

In addition to the advantage in numbers, Jindan-stage cultivators generally do not want to cause trouble when encountering these mining worms.

This is why, when a mineral vein is discovered and mined, a Nascent Soul cultivator must be in charge, in order to eliminate hidden dangers and set up formations to prevent attracting the insects that feed on the mineral veins.

Of course, there are many things that feed on mineral veins, and mine worms are just a small part of them.

But these inconspicuous things swarmed in and caused Keqing a lot of trouble.

Keqing's expression remained unchanged, and the spell in her hand was almost invisible, like an afterimage.

Endless flames fell from the sky, one after another, touching the bodies of the mining worms, attaching to their flesh and burning their blood, or becoming more and more intense, and actually formed a circle of fire about ten feet wide.

It was like an isolation circle formed by fire, which became increasingly severe and isolated the attacks of the long insects.

The consumption of spiritual energy is constantly increasing. This flame is not an ordinary fire, but a spiritual fire generated by the cultivator with spells. Both its heat and attack power are first-class. The purer the spiritual energy and the stronger the strength, the greater the power of the flame.

These insects are originally of the second level, and their strength is at the foundation-building stage at most. No matter how tough their skin is, or how resistant they are to spells, when they encounter such an overwhelming spiritual fire, they will be painfully burned to ashes, and the smell of burnt barbecue will fill the air.

The little coal ball felt a little hungry after seeing this.

However, the spiritual fire has no roots and is driven entirely by spiritual power. Such a large spiritual fire is constantly burning, and what is mobilized is naturally Keqing's own spiritual power.

It stands to reason that these long insects, which continue to attack one after another and are constantly burned by the flames, should, after a long time, find that they are unable to expel the enemy. Their instinct to seek profit and avoid harm should make them feel fearful and retreat.

However, these mining worms in front of him were more ferocious than each other, with beastly nature. Their eyes were not only red, but also wide open, with no rationality at all, as if Keqing in front of them was a mortal enemy.

Because of this, they relied on the offensive created by their numbers and used their bodies as a foundation, and actually extinguished the ten-foot wall of fire, reducing it to five feet.

“Have these bugs gone crazy?”

Little Coal Ball was originally in the mood to eat because of the smell of barbecue in the air, but when he saw the crazy behavior of these insects, he felt a little frightened.

I suddenly felt timid.

As a "Food Eater", she should have a lot of experience, but maybe because she was spoiled by Keqing for some time, she can't stand these things.

Feeling frightened, Little Coal Ball felt both regretful and condemning himself.

You are not a girl waiting to get married, why are you being so pretentious?

The master is a pragmatist. She believes that capable people should be treated better, and those without ability... well, the master will not keep idle people.

Besides, there is already a newcomer. According to the master's trend, he will definitely achieve great success in the future. Maybe there will be more visionary and strange guys like dragons, phoenixes, demon ancestors, etc., who will cling to the master like Man Ruo.

Chapter 199: Beast Attracting Pill (Fourth Update)

If I can't help now, then I'm useless.

If that's the case, can he still keep his position as the boss?

She felt a chill and quickly shook herself off.

"Master, I'll go check it out!"

Seeing Keqing frowning slightly, Little Coal Ball volunteered and rushed into the sea of ​​fire to investigate the enemy situation.

Keqing had originally thought of a way to resolve the current dilemma, but before she could do anything, the little coal ball suddenly jumped into the sea of ​​fire and disappeared without a trace.

This left Keqing helpless for a moment.

After thinking about it, since she took the initiative to investigate, that's good. Maybe I can find out the reason behind it.

Seeing the sea of ​​fire being extinguished by the dark tide, Keqing stopped the spell in her hand and instead stretched out her five fingers to grab at the void one by one. Several twisted giant insects were bound in the air by an invisible force, struggling restlessly.

Keqing made a slash with her finger, and the sword intent pierced the insects' bodies with small holes one after another. Blood kept flowing down and fell onto the flames, making a crackling sound.

The smell of blood in the air made the swarm of insects below more aggressive and more restless.

However this is not enough.

With a thought, a bottle of Danping made of white jade appeared in his palm.

The Year of the Snake was triggered, and the round pills inside were taken out from a distance. With the sound of whooshing, the pills were instantly bounced into the wound.

Keqing sent a stream of spiritual power over, and the pills instantly split into three and merged into the monster's blood.

This set of actions was smooth and flowing, and it took only a blink of an eye, and the insect corpses that had been dissolved with medicine were thrown back into the insect swarm.

Keqing didn't even look at the long insects, and once again used the fire method to burn the attacking enemies.

However, as time went on, these insects began to become restless. First, their movements became slow and they began to hesitate. Gradually, their already ferocious eyes turned crazy.

With a swish, a mining worm suddenly bit its fellow worm nearby, and the worm was bitten into two halves in an instant before it could react.

And the dead insect was the long insect that Keqing had tampered with.

However, this was just the beginning. The insects were affected by the medicinal effect of the pill and began to bite their drugged counterparts, as if what they saw were not their own kind but some kind of precious delicious meal.

I saw a worm biting off the flesh of its own kind, and then tearing its corpse apart madly. Although it had no expression, Keqing could actually sense a sense of enjoyment from it.

However, not long after, the long worm that had eaten the corpse of its own kind began to emit the same smell, a delicious smell just like that of the companion it had bitten.

The worm that was tearing at the flesh and blood did not notice the hungry and greedy eyes around it, just like the eyes he had before.

I saw countless dark shadows rushing towards him, just like he had done before, and attacking him.

The attacked insects naturally fought back hard, but facing the attacks from a large number of their own kind, they had no power to fight back at all and were turned into broken flesh in the blink of an eye.

There was one, then two, then three, and more and more long insects joined in this fight between the same kind.

The long worms that were initially fed the medicine had long since turned into objects and entered the stomachs of their own kind. However, those of their own kind that hunted them fell into a new cycle, with the hunters turning into prey, and the prey once again turning into invisible hidden dangers that turned new hunters into their own kind.

It wasn't long before the swarm of insects was filled with an unstoppable chaos of fighting.

Those who were affected by the drug fought one after another, and the drug power was integrated into every mining worm. Although the effectiveness of the drug power was degraded after being split, the united worms also became enemies that attacked each other.

The Zerg was caught up in a bloody massacre and Keqing was left with nothing to do.

Occasionally, bugs would attack her, but she would easily deal with them.

This gave her some time to rest.

"The effect of this psychedelic pill is really good."

Keqing sighed, but had no sympathy for the fight in front of her.

As the name suggests, the hallucinogenic pill can cause hallucinations, but its intended users are not humans but monsters.

This type of pill is also called beast-luring pill. Generally, this kind of pill is used to lure beasts. There are different variants of beast-luring pills corresponding to different types of monsters at different stages.

For example, some animals like the taste of fodder grass, while others like the scent of Tianyuan flowers. In short, different types are not suitable, and different changes are needed for different monsters.

However, no matter how things change, the essence remains the same. All beast-luring pills cannot be made without the herb Blood Essence Grass.

Because all monsters cannot do without the power of flesh and blood. It is not easy for monsters to grow, and if they want to become strong they cannot do without the power of flesh and blood.

Just like ordinary people want to eat when they are hungry, cultivators need spiritual power to advance, and monsters are extremely dependent on flesh and blood.

This is instinct, everything

The monsters that have not yet developed their intelligence cannot resist this kind of temptation. After all, the value of a hundred-year-old blood essence grass is comparable to the flesh and blood strength of half a Jindan cultivator.

Not to mention that after being trained, its scent and appeal will be doubled, stretching for dozens of miles.

There are even cases where some people use it improperly and attract a tide of beasts.

It is precisely because of this that Blood Essence Grass is extremely sought after by monks. However, as a result, over the years, the stock of Blood Essence Grass has become increasingly scarce, and there is no market for Blood Essence Grass.

The beast-attracting pills on the market are made from artificially cultivated ten-year-old blood essence grass. Their attraction is at most within a thousand-meter radius, and their beast-attracting effect is only limited to the first or second stage monsters. They are still useful for low-level cultivators, but are dispensable for high-level ones.

Keqing's effect is so powerful that it must have been improved.

Her package also contained some hundred-year-old blood essence grass, even a few thousand-year-old ones, all given by her cheap master.

When she was trying to make pills, Keqing was amazed by the hundreds of beast-luring pills with different recipes. They were clearly just second-level ammunition, but there were hundreds of recipes, and the beast-luring effects were simple and limited.

This gave Keqing an idea.

Since monsters need the power of flesh and blood, and the main ingredient of the beast-luring pill is blood essence grass, then if we simply use thousand-year-old blood essence grass to refine it into a pill without adding any auxiliary ingredients, can it also have a powerful effect?

After all, according to records, the original Beast-Attracting Pill only had one recipe. However, as the Blood Essence Grass became less and less available, versions tailored for various monsters were derived in order to strengthen the efficacy of the main medicine.

However, the thousand-year-old spiritual plant is actually so easy to obtain.

But if a thousand years is not easy to obtain, then is it not easy to obtain pure flesh and blood purification?

If we use the same blood and flesh purifier as the Blood Essence Grass instead of the main medicine, can we achieve the same effect?

I have to say that Keqing's idea is very bold. However, with so many talented people in the world of immortal cultivation, how could no one have thought of it?

Keqing thought so too, but once the idea came to her mind, she became interested. After all, some things are better if they are challenging, and she is not a person who sticks to the rules.

With an attitude of giving it a try, Keqing took out a particle of flesh and blood from the classics and began to try to refine it.

However, I didn't expect that I would succeed in refining it in one go!

And it’s top quality right out of the oven!

The bottle of medicine in that furnace is the one being used now.

Chapter 200: The Swarm of Insects Controlled by Humans (Part )

Keqing had not expected that she would succeed in refining it without any setbacks.

Is it because I am too talented, or is it because of some other reason, such as the pure flesh and blood power is the refined flesh and blood of the devil or something like that.

After all, when it comes to pure flesh and blood power, only the demons can be compared to it. When a substitute was proposed, Keqing's first thought was to use this thing instead.

After all, she could eliminate the foul aura and leave only the pure power of flesh and blood.

The reason why the demons are so powerful is because their flesh and blood are extremely strong. Although they are not as strong as the divine beasts, they are still pretty good.

"Then what's the reason?"

The powerful blood and flesh power fused into the elixir will be more violent and more difficult to control.

The more powerful the force, the more difficult it is to control and integrate. This is the consensus in the world of cultivation, and this is why plant-based alchemy is the mainstream.

Keqing tried repeatedly, and refined it with flesh and blood several times, just to find out the reason.

After all, if you only know the reasons without knowing the underlying reasons, in the end you will only immerse yourself in false perfection and ignore the fundamentals.

Not getting to the root of things and not understanding the cause and effect is essentially a failure.

Finally she discovered the reason.

It is the power of Heaven in the divine thunder, it is the trace of thunder power in the spiritual power. Thunder is inherently violent, and the strong flesh and blood is not worth mentioning in such spiritual power, and will only be forcibly squeezed, deformed and fused; and the power of Heaven has the concept of symbiosis of all things. Under the Heaven, everyone is an ant, and all things are connected, so when they are integrated, it will naturally be peaceful without a trace of ripples.

Keqing happens to have both of these qualities, plus her fire control power and comprehension abilities are first-class, which also led to her one-time success.

After knowing the reason, Keqing finally felt relieved.

Of course, this is also because the blood of the Heavenly Demon can be easily refined and purified by thunder power, and the level of other medicinal materials is not high. If it is really a high-level elixir with dozens or hundreds of main ingredients, it may not be the case.

……

Seeing the Beast-Attracting Pill in front of her having such a huge effect, Keqing was very satisfied. It seemed that the pill was not only useful for improving one's own strength, but sometimes it could also solve external crises.

Maybe she could try to innovate more pills.

Keqing pondered.

But for now, let’s explore the way first!

The mining worms do not pose a threat, and with so many of them here, there must be a mineral vein ahead. I don’t know what kind of mineral vein can produce such a large number of mining worms, and I don’t know if there are any left that can be transplanted into the space.

Keqing no longer looked at the fighting mining worms, but flew towards the interior.

And that distant gaze just stared at her, coldly without any words.

……

As for the little coal ball, after rushing out of the wall of fire, it naturally transformed into a mining worm. This transformation was certainly not the result of the transformation power of the three-tailed fox, but the result of her using a little blood essence scattered on the ground.

This kind of existence that changes with one's own abilities is more real.

Look, didn't the mine bugs around here notice anything wrong with her? Of course, it could also be because of their low intelligence.

The mining worm that the little coal ball transformed into was dull in color and extremely small in size. That was why she rushed in the opposite direction of the worms and did not attract any attention at all.

The dense swarm of insects went in the opposite direction, and the number of them became larger and larger as they went on. As the number increased, their bodies also became stronger. The aura around them gradually changed from the common early second stage to the middle and late stages, and even to the peak in the end.

The size of the densely packed second-level peak mining worms soared from half a meter to more than ten meters, and was as thick as two buckets.

One is not a big deal, but at a glance there are nearly a thousand.
