Chapter 382 – Cultivating Larvae
Chapter 382 – Cultivating Larvae
A top grade second grade spiritual field, under careful care, the red pearl rice yield can barely be eighty pounds.
The spiritual field in the small world, the grade can barely reach the second grade middle grade, coupled with the limited ability of those puppets, which led to a piece of spiritual field’s red pearl rice yield, only a poor thirty pounds.
But can’t help but small world in the spirit field more, a piece is not enough, will be planted on ten pieces of hundred pieces, over the years down, red pearl rice production is quite considerable.
Previously in the water body forging ten years, Xu Chuniang busy cultivation can not spare time to deal with these red pearl rice, now have free time, will start brewing up red scarlet wine.
A pot of Red Crimson Wine was originally capable of restoring 30% of her Spiritual Qi.
As her cultivation progressed, she needed to drink more Red Crimson Wine to achieve the previous effect.
Today’s small world was not what it used to be, not to mention the wide area, the spiritual qi was even more abundant than before, able to easily reclaim spiritual fields.
However, relying on the puppets under her hand, she was a little too busy to take care of the existing spiritual fields, and simply did not have the time and energy to reclaim new spiritual fields, so she could only maintain the status quo for the time being.
Little Orange was free, but with its small body and claws, it was good that it didn’t come to make trouble, so it couldn’t be expected to do this work.
After Xu Chuniang sealed the last jar of wine, she sensed a slight movement coming from the Hidden Winged Insect eggs in her Spirit Beast Pouch.
With a slight movement in her heart, she left the spirit field and headed towards the cave.
Since this small world belonged exclusively to her, Xu Chuniang did not set up any formations or boundaries in this cave.
Right now, these Hidden Winged Insect eggs seemed to be about to hatch, but it would still take some work to refine them.
In order to avoid accidents during the refining process, Xu Chuniang simply set up a formation in the cave in advance, just in case.
As for the huge amount of spiritual qi needed for the larvae to hatch, there was no need to make any other preparations for that.
The cave she was currently in was the place with the most abundant spiritual qi in the spiritual vein, which was more than enough to support the hatching of the larvae.
After everything was ready, she took out the eggs from her spirit beast pouch.
These bug eggs contained amazing vitality and had grown a lot compared to three years ago when she first fed them with her essence blood.
After three years of non-stop feeding, they were finally about to hatch.
Xu Chuniang’s expression grew cautious, she had to use the power of the bloodline connection to completely refine these cryptoptera in a unique way at the first moment they hatched.
If there was a mistake in this process, it would be extremely troublesome to control them in the future.
She carefully covered the black insect eggs in front of her with her divine sense, waiting for that moment to come.
Finally, the first Cryptic Winged Insect hatched out smoothly!
Its body was black in color, less than half an inch long, and it looked frail and tender.
Xu Chuniang’s attention was highly focused, her divine sense accurately capturing the larva and carefully branding her spirit on it.
The newly hatched larva was very fragile, not even at the first level of Qi cultivation.
Because of the bloodline connection, the larva had a natural affinity for Xu Chuniang.
However, the moment the divine sense brand was about to be imprinted, it still subconsciously resisted.
The result was predictable, in front of Xu Chuniang, who was at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, this weak larva only resisted for a few breaths of time before dying.
Xu Chuniang frowned, refining the Hidden Winged Insect and branding the spirit within its divine soul really wasn’t that simple.
The newly hatched larvae were too fragile, and although they had a natural affinity for her, they had just descended into this world, so they must have been uneasy.
She was a bit too eager just now and should have calmed it down first.
Moreover, the divine sense she released on it was too powerful, causing a life and death crisis in that larva, which incurred its strong resistance. Xu Chuniang summarized her experience, and just at that moment, the second larva hatched.
She didn’t rush to brand a mark onto it, but instead, she used the Art of Warding Insects to catalyze the power of her bloodline, continuously enhancing the connection with it.
She was able to feel that after catalyzing the power of her bloodline, the larva’s reliance on her for closeness had significantly increased.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Chuniang separated a sliver of her divine sense and landed on this larva.
This time, it only hesitated for a split second before relaxing, allowing the brand to be smoothly branded within its own Yuan Shen.
Success!
Xu Chuniang’s heart was slightly delighted, however, not waiting for her to relax, the third and fourth larvae hatched one after the other ……
She hurriedly focused her mind and continued to hatch.
This process lasted for as long as three days, and it didn’t end until the last Cryptic Winged Insect successfully hatched and was branded with a divine soul imprint.
Xu Chuniang’s mind, which had been taut all this time, also finally loosened up.
A total of more than three hundred larvae hatched from these eggs, but only a hundred or so remained after establishing a divine soul connection with her and surviving successfully in the end.
Since she had placed a divine soul imprint on them, she was more or less able to sense some emotions.
For example, right now, these cryptoptera were clearly hungry, revealing a strong desire to feed.
In the jade slip that Xu Chuniang had previously obtained with the records of the Imperial Insect Technique, some common insects and their living habits as well as their attack characteristics were introduced, and among them, the Cryptoptera were included.
The Cryptoptera belonged to the top grade two poisonous insects, with a high level of toxicity, and the adult Cryptoptera were able to pose a certain threat to Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Their wings are hidden underneath the sheath on their back and are completely transparent, making them hard to be seen, hence the name Cryptoptera.
They are stealthy, silent when they fly, and poisonous, making them most suitable for sneak attacks.
As for food, as long as it’s rich in spiritual qi, they’ll eat it regardless of what it is.
Xu Chuniang thought back for a moment, flipping out a bag of pearl rice from her storage ring and scattering it on the ground.
The amount of pearl rice in her hand was staggering, and it was more than suitable for feeding these cryptic winged insects.
The cryptoptera that had been starving for days smelled the aura and food, and busily rushed towards the spiritual rice, munching on it.
However, they were simply too weak, a hundred or so larvae, in total, only ate a catty of pearl rice, and then they couldn’t eat any more.
Xu Chuniang put away the rest of the pearl rice and sensed the state of the Cryptic Winged Insects for a while, realizing that they had vaguely grown a tiny bit stronger after eating.
She withdrew her gaze and pondered in her heart.
Three years and two months had passed since she had fallen into the belly of that YuanYing big fish.
She had never left the small world during this period of time, and she didn’t know how the outside environment had gotten, and whether Little Walnut had left the belly of that big fish at this time.
The cryptic winged insects had already hatched, but they were too fragile at this point, even a cat in the mundane world could take their lives.
It seemed that we still had to wait for some more time before we could send them out to spy on the situation.
Xu Chuniang’s mind gradually settled down, having waited for three years, she was in no hurry.
It was just that she had indeed left the clan for too long on this trip.
