Chapter 381 – Cryptoparasite Eggs
Chapter 381 – Hidden Wing Worm Eggs
Xu Chuniang saw the small world that was constantly expanding outward, and finally reacted, before that undersea spirit vein, the little walnut was afraid that it had already got it.
That is why in the small world, there will be such a big change.
Although Xu Chuniang realized after a closer look that the spirit vein obtained by Little Walnut was not complete, this was purely an unexpected blessing.
When she had initially seen Little Walnut fall into the belly of the fish, she had thought that it had also been swallowed by that big fish, and hadn’t even thought about the matter of the spirit vein.
But right now, it seems that the little walnut is really somewhat powerful, under the eyes of the YuanYing big demon, snatching most of the spirit vein not to mention that it also entered the fish’s belly in time to save her and the little orange and little white.
Although she was now in the belly of that big fish, and was almost turned into a dish of food, but now that she was temporarily out of danger, and had most of the spirit vein harvested, Xu Chuniang felt that she had earned it!
After all, it was half of a Spirit Vein, and this Spirit Vein was in the middle of the deep sea, had never been exploited, and was of extremely high quality.
If Xu Chuniang’s cultivation was sufficient, and she had the heart to start a sect, she could even establish a small sect in the Qian Luo Realm with this half of the spirit vein.
She felt a sense of unreality as her blood boiled just thinking about it.
If she had known in advance that there was a YuanYing demon underneath that spirit vein, she wouldn’t have been so “death-defying” as to provoke it.
But the fact is that she didn’t know in advance, she not only messed with it, but Little Walnut also succeeded in snatching the spirit vein of a YuanYing great cultivator, which is unbelievable when you think about it.
After the spirit vein was absorbed by the small walnut, it melted into this small world, turning into a huge mountain range of spirit stones.
The small world’s directly expanded five or six times because of the addition of this spirit vein, and was still expanding outwards.
Correspondingly, the spiritual qi in the spiritual vein was diminishing at a terrifying level under the expansion of the small world.
It wasn’t until only one tenth of the initial amount of spiritual qi was left in this spiritual vein that the small world slowly stopped expanding and completely stabilized.
After this process ended, the range of the small world directly expanded by as much as ten times.
If the previous small world was like a small village, then it was now, equivalent to the size of a small town.
Although this expansion of the small world had caused the spiritual qi in the spirit stone veins to lose a lot, as long as the veins were still there, the spiritual qi would be able to slowly nourish itself back and condense many spirit stones.
Moreover, the previous small world was too small, and the concentration of spiritual qi had reached its limit, so if it wasn’t expanded, it wouldn’t even be able to house half of the spiritual vein.
After the small world settled down, the little orange and the little white happily ran to the spiritual veins, chose a place where the spiritual qi was the most concentrated, and used their claws to dig up a pit, looking like they were planning to settle down there.
Xu Chuniang took a glance and withdrew her gaze, this time the harvest was huge, but she didn’t forget that the entire Walnut World, at the moment, was still trapped in the belly of that big fish.
Hiding in the small world was indeed safe, but she couldn’t stay here for the rest of her life without going out.
Although the small world was good, the outside world was the real thing.
There had to be a way to confirm the situation outside before she could do so.
But the small world and the outside world is like two worlds, being here, the divine sense can’t detect the outside world movements at all.
If we go out rashly, it seems a bit risky.
After all, the small walnut is very likely to be soaked in the acidic liquid of the belly of that big fish.
As soon as she went out, she would be corroded and dissolved by that acid.
That acid was extremely strong, she would never dare to risk her life.
Xu Chuniang frowned and thought hard for a while, then suddenly remembered something and walked towards a place she used to put her sundries.
These sundries were mostly things she had gotten from other cultivators.
In addition to some things that she found useful, and materials that were not good enough to be used, there were more things that were of little value, but which she discarded and didn’t have time to dispose of.
Xu Chuniang remembered that she had once killed a bug cultivator, and in that cultivator’s spirit animal pouch, there was a pile of unhatched bug eggs. Moreover, in his storage ring, there seemed to be a relevant insect-control technique.
Perhaps, she could find a way to drive these insects to test the danger for her.
Xu Chuniang searched according to her memories, and indeed found the spirit beast pouch, and even the insect-control technique that the cultivator had acquired, she found it as well.
However, before studying this jade slip and learning the insect control technique, she planned to first open a cave on the spirit vein first.
Being in a place with abundant spiritual qi, even if you don’t run your cultivation, your body will automatically draw in spiritual qi.
When it came time to cultivate, she would be able to get twice the result with half the effort.
In the past, it would have been fine if she didn’t have a spiritual vein, but now that she had one, she naturally had to make good use of it.
After spending a few days working on the main vein to create a humble shelter, Xu Chuniang then flipped out the jade slip and studied it carefully.
About two months later, Xu Chunniang finished reading through all the contents of the jade slip, and took out the bug eggs in her spirit beast pouch.
She followed the instructions in the jade slip and cut her finger to force out her blood, dropping it onto the eggs.
The black eggs were dyed with bright red blood, which made them look a bit weird, but in less than half a breath, all the blood seeped into them.
She could feel that she and these eggs seemed to have established some sort of connection.
It was just that this connection was too weak, and I was afraid that it wouldn’t last long before it disappeared.
It should be due to the fact that she had fed too little essence blood.
Without hesitation, Xu Chuniang once again forced out more essence blood and dripped it on top of the insect eggs.
The black insect eggs absorbed the essence blood silently, and she could feel that the connection with them was deepening.
After sucking up all the essence blood, the black bug egg obviously increased in size by one point, it just looked like it was still far from hatching.
Xu Chuniang put away the black bug egg, she had recognized quite a few bugs through the jade slip, and knew that this black bug egg was that of the Cryptic Winged Bug, which was a Grade 2 top grade.
These eggs were not something that could be easily hatched at any time, and if you wanted to successfully hatch the Cryptoptera, a short period of three to five years would be possible, and a long period of ten to eight years would be possible.
Specifically, it also depends on the vitality of the eggs, as well as the cultivation of the person feeding them and the purity of their blood.
In short, wanting to hatch the Hidden Winged Insect was not something that could be accomplished in a short period of time.
After Xu Chuniang finished feeding these insect eggs, she continued to cultivate.
Compared to the adult insects, the eggs were very weak, so in addition to having to take care of them delicately, the amount of essence and blood fed should not be too much.
Time passed so silently, and every so often, Xu Chunniang would feed the eggs of the Hidden Winged Insects with her essence blood, strengthening the connection with them.
The rest of the time, she mostly spent cultivating and studying formations, and would occasionally check on the condition of the spirit fields and brew wine from the newly collected spirit rice.
The second grade spirit field was planted with Red Pearl Rice, the raw material for brewing Red Crimson Wine.
As the very best of the second grade spirit rice, the red pearl rice was extremely rich in spiritual qi, but the yield was really pitifully small.
Moreover, the Red Pearl Rice grew very slowly and only matured once a year.
The reality is that the cryptocoryne is poisonous, very powerful poison, everyone sees it, don’t touch it with your hands!
