Ugly Cultivation Notes

Chapter 382: Cultivating Larvae
A top-grade second-grade spiritual field, under careful care, the yield of red pearl rice can barely reach [-] catties.

The spiritual field in the small world can reach the second-level medium grade, and those puppets have limited ability, which leads to a pitiful [-] catties of red pearl rice output in a spiritual field.

But since there are so many spiritual fields in the small world, one piece is not enough, so they planted ten or hundreds of pieces. Over the years, the output of red pearl rice is quite considerable.

In the previous ten years of exercising in the waters, Xu Chunniang was too busy practicing and had no time to deal with the red pearl rice. Now that she had free time, she started brewing red wine.

A pot of red crimson wine could restore [-]% of her aura.

As her cultivation level improves, she needs to drink more red crimson wine to achieve the previous effect.

Today's small world is not what it used to be, not to mention the vastness of the territory, the aura is more abundant than before, and it is easy to cultivate spiritual fields.

But relying on the puppets under her hands alone, she is too busy to take care of the existing spiritual fields. She has no time and energy to cultivate new spiritual fields, so she can only maintain the status quo for the time being.

Little Orange is free, but with its small body and claws, it's good if it doesn't make trouble, and it can't be expected to do this job.

After Xu Chunniang sealed the last jar of wine, she sensed a slight movement from the paederus eggs in the spirit beast bag.

With a slight movement in her heart, she left Lingtian and walked towards the cave.

Because this small world belongs to her alone, Xu Chunniang did not set up any formations or barriers in this cave.

Right now, these paederus eggs seem to be hatching soon, but it will take a lot of work to refine them.

In order to avoid accidents during the refining process, Xu Chunniang simply arranged a formation in the cave in advance, just in case.

As for the huge amount of spiritual energy that the larvae need to hatch, there is no need to make other preparations for it.

The cave where she is now is the place with the most aura in the spiritual veins, which is more than enough to support the hatching of these larvae.

After everything was ready, she took out the eggs from the spirit beast bag.

These worm eggs contain amazing vitality, and they have grown a lot compared to when she first fed them with blood essence three years ago.

After three years of non-stop feeding, they are finally close to hatching.

Xu Chunniang's expression became more serious. She had to use the power of blood to completely refine these paederus as soon as they hatched in a unique way.

If there are mistakes in this process, it will be very troublesome to control them in the future.

She carefully covered the black eggs with her spiritual consciousness, waiting for that moment to come.

Finally, the first paederus hatched successfully!

Its body is black, less than half an inch long, and looks weak and immature.

Xu Chunniang's attention was highly concentrated, and her spiritual sense accurately caught the larvae, and carefully imprinted her spiritual imprint on them.

The newly hatched larvae are very fragile, and they can't even reach the first level of Qi training.

Because of the blood connection, this larva has a natural feeling of closeness to Xu Chunniang.

However, at the moment when the brand of spiritual consciousness was about to be branded, it still subconsciously resisted.

The result can be imagined, in front of Xu Chunniang who built the ninth floor of the foundation, this weak larva only resisted for a few breaths, and then died.

Xu Chunniang frowned, refining the paederus, imprinting a spiritual imprint on its soul, it really wasn't that simple.

The newly hatched larvae are too fragile. Although they have a natural closeness to her, they must be uneasy when they just came to this world.

She was too eager just now, she should appease it first.

Moreover, the consciousness she released on it was too strong, causing the larva's life and death crisis, which led to its strong resistance.

Xu Chunniang summed up her experience, and just at this time, the second larva hatched.

She didn't rush to imprint it, but used the technique of controlling insects to stimulate the power of the blood to continuously strengthen the connection with it.

She could feel that after urging the power of the blood, the larva's dependence on her was obviously strengthened.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Chunniang separated a bit of her spiritual consciousness and landed on the larva.

Now it only hesitated for a moment, then relaxed, allowing the brand to be successfully branded in its soul.

It worked!
Xu Chunniang was overjoyed, but before she could relax, the third and fourth larvae hatched one after another...

She quickly concentrated and continued to hatch.

This process lasted for three days, and it was not over until the last paederus hatched successfully and was branded with the soul brand.

Xu Chunniang's tense mind finally relaxed.

A total of more than 300 larvae were hatched from these eggs, but only a hundred or so larvae survived after establishing a spiritual connection with her.

Since she branded them with spirit and soul, she can more or less perceive some emotions.

For example, now, these paederus are obviously hungry, revealing a strong desire to eat.

Xu Chunniang had previously obtained a jade slip that recorded insect control techniques, which introduced some common insects, their living habits and attack characteristics, including paederus.

The paederus is a second-class top-grade poisonous insect, and its toxicity is relatively high. The adult paederus can pose a certain threat to the foundation-building monks.

Their wings are hidden under the sheath on the back and are completely transparent and difficult to see, hence the name paederus.

They are stealthy, they are silent when flying, and they are full of poison, which is most suitable for sneak attacks.

As for the food, as long as it is rich in aura, they will eat whatever it is.

Xu Chunniang thought about it, took out a bag of pearl rice from the storage ring, and scattered it on the ground.

The amount of pearl rice in her hand is astonishing, and it is perfect for feeding these paederus.

The paederus, who had been hungry for several days, smelled the spirit energy and the food, rushed towards the spirit rice, and began to eat it.

However, they are too weak. A hundred or so larvae only ate a pound of pearl rice, and they couldn't eat any more.

Xu Chunniang put away the remaining pearl rice, sensed the state of the paederus for a while, and found that after they ate, they faintly grew stronger.

She looked away, thinking silently in her heart.

It has been three years and two months since she fell into the belly of the big Nascent Soul fish.

During this period, she never left the small world, and she didn't know what happened to the external environment, whether the little walnut had left the belly of the big fish at this time.

The paederus had hatched, but they were so fragile that a cat in the mortal world could kill them.

It seems that we have to wait for a while before sending them out to investigate the situation.

Xu Chunniang's mood gradually settled down. After three years of waiting, she was not in a hurry anymore.

It's just that she left the sect for too long.
