Starting from Scavengers to Cultivate Immortals

Chapter 172 Spirit Insect
Since the Seventh Senior Sister and Senior Brother left, Xu Chen seldom came to the medicine garden, and the thirteenth senior sister Zhao Xuan was also planning to start building the foundation, so she seldom came to the Medicine Garden.

But fortunately, the two golden toads have fallen into a deep sleep since they ate a piece of Taiyuan Soul Entering Pill, which made Xu Chen less worried.

The two golden toads lay in the vine branches and leaves under the Resurrection Tree all day long, huddled together and motionless. Xu Chen was a little worried at first, but after checking a few times, he found that the aura of the two golden toads was slowly growing, and even the skin on the skin The colors also became more vivid.

This gave him a lot of surprises in his busy schedule.

That is to say, with the help of Taiyuan Ruhuning Pill, the blood of the two golden toads seems to be gradually strengthening, and when they wake up from dormancy, the medicinal properties are probably stronger.

The little fox likes the smell of the medicine garden very much. Except that it will run back to sleep together after Xu Chen comes home at night, it almost stays in the medicine garden during the day. Of course, it also has the task of helping to look after the two golden toads. The two golden toads looked at each other tightly, which relieved Xu Chen a lot.

On this day, Xu Chen finished refining several batches of Qi-gathering pills from the alchemy courtyard, and came back with a breath of red dust and fireworks. The abduction fell into the medicine garden.

"Woo~"

Xiaobai happily jumped out of the medicine garden, shouted excitedly around his feet, and bit his Taoist robe and pulled it to the position of the Soul Resurrection Wood.

"Okay, okay, I know you took good care of the two golden toads, this is your reward!"

Xu Chen smiled and bent down to touch Xiaobai's soft fur, and then threw a piece of Taiyuan Entering Soul Pill.

Xiaobai jumped up high and swallowed the elixir in one gulp, then continued to drag him away with a whimper, so Xu Chen curiously followed him to the Resurrection Tree, and found that the two golden toads had woken up.

"Gugua~"

Seeing Xu Chen, the two golden toads screamed excitedly and crawled out together.

Xu Chen was pleasantly surprised, but also a little strange, because today he felt that the color of the two golden toads suddenly changed a lot, like a new layer of skin. His heart moved, and his consciousness penetrated into the dense grape leaves In the process, it was discovered that where the two golden toads were lying on their nests, there were really two more golden toad sloughs.

"I'm going, it really has shed its skin!"

Xu Chen was overjoyed, and quickly peeled off the green and purple-patterned grape leaves, and grabbed the two toad sloughs.

The hand was wet and soft, it should have just faded off not long ago, and it still exuded a faint spiritual light.

The overall appearance of the toad slough is complete, but the color of the four legs is not golden yellow, but with red and green patterns.

But when he compared the two molted golden toads, he found that all four feet seemed to have turned golden.

Now Xu Chen was even happier.

That is to say, the Taiyuan Entering Soul Pill has indeed mutated the two golden toads that had begun to degenerate, and began to evolve into the real seven-star golden toad.

"Guqua~gugua~"

Two golden toads crawled in front of Xu Chen and made deafening calls.

Xu Chen took out the jade bottle and threw out two Taiyuan Soul Entering Pills, only to see two phantoms with long tongues flashing past, and the two spirit pills disappeared in the blink of an eye.

But after eating the panacea, the two golden toads didn't seem to be satisfied, and they didn't seem to be dozing off after eating. They seemed to be more irritable, and they still stared at him with wide-eyed croaking noises.

Xu Chen hesitated for a moment, put away the jade bottle and stood up.

In the Golden Toad Palace of the Yuqing Palace, the old Taoist priest in charge of raising golden toads said that although golden toads need to be fed special elixir daily to maintain their spirituality, their staple food is still spirit insects and specially prepared food.

Xu Chen was a little depressed, the panacea was easy to say, he can refine seven or eight furnaces in a day, enough to kill two golden toads, but it is hard to find food with spiritual energy, it must be of monster level.

Although there are many poisonous snakes and venomous insects with aura in the southern border, it is not easy to search for them every day, and it will be a huge burden for a long time.

Moreover, the sun had already set at this time, so it would be inconvenient to find it. After all, snakes and insects hibernate deep in the soil of the tree hole at night, and it is still unknown whether they can be found.

Just when he looked up at the sky, Xiaobai slid into the colorful plants, and after a while, he came out with a thumb-sized fleshy bug covered with green and red intertwined patterns in his mouth.

"What is this?"

Seeing the big bug still struggling stubbornly in Xiaobai's mouth, Xu Chen was shocked.

"Woo~" Xiaobai threw the worm on the ground, and the two golden toads jumped up at the same time. The two big tongues wrapped around one end of the worm and began to pull. Soon, the big worm was pulled into two pieces, and the two golden toads Toad swallowed half of it each, then licked his mouth, looking at Xiaobai expectantly.

"Wooooooo~" Xiaobai jumped up and kept yelling at the place where he came out just now.

Xu Chen let go of his consciousness and enveloped the whole medicine garden, but found nothing. Just when he was wondering where Xiaobai caught the bug, his consciousness froze slightly, and he focused on a plant that looked like rice for an instant. At the same time, a look of extreme shock appeared on his face.

A big fat bug that was almost exactly the same as Xiaobai caught just now, was lying on the leaf, and the leaf had already been gnawed out with a hole the size of a palm. Although it was not that big compared to the huge leaf, he was surprised. shocked.

Because in his spiritual consciousness, he couldn't feel the existence of this bug, but he could really see it. What made him even more strange was that this kind of bug, like these colorful and strange plants, was completely different from the world in this world. Things, I can't feel the slightest aura, but I can still faintly see the flow of aura in my body.

And after he saw the worm clearly, he searched the vicinity carefully with his spiritual sense, which made him even more shocked, because there were quite a few of this kind of worm, almost every plant that looked like rice had it, and many holes were gnawed out on the leaves Not to mention, even at the root of a certain plant's leaves, there is one that is spinning silk and cocooning.

Xu Chen took three steps and took two steps to get into the bushes that were already taller than a person, and soon came to the side of the cocooned worm.

This one is a little different from the other bugs, not to mention its slightly larger body, with a reddish-purple head, and dark blue fine lines all over its body, which look like scales, and it looks extremely weird.

At this moment, the head of the big bug was dangling, spit out purple filaments, and was wrapping its body inside.

Xu Chen's consciousness landed on the bugs and filaments, and the expression on his face gradually became more surprised.

This thin ribbon has a strange aura fluctuation, and there is still a cyan aura flickering and wandering inside.

According to his knowledge of various spiritual materials and spiritual objects, this filament is probably not lower than the second-order spiritual material.

In other words, these invisible bugs are not only pests that destroy these plants, but also high-level spiritual insects, and the silk they spit out is also a good spiritual material.

There are many silk-spinning insects in nature, but there are very few spirit insects, especially the species that can spin silk. As far as Xu Chen knows, the only thing he has seen that can spin silk is the giant spider spirit beast, but that is not mortal. The original product of the earth boundary, but from the nether world.

Of course, there are still spirit insects such as ice silkworms, fire silkworms and blood poisonous poisonous spiders in the spiritual information and list of spiritual creatures compiled by the fairy world, but the living environment of these insects is very dangerous, and they are all highly poisonous. , just heard, not seen at all.

These very rare worm silks are of high value. They are very good for making robes or flexible magic weapons, and are very popular among female nuns. For example, some female nuns like to use these filaments to weave cloth and refine them into close-fitting clothing. Or accessories.

It's just that there are few in the world, and it's not easy to get one, and monks who aren't powerful and rich can't afford it at all.

Xu Chen was a little confused for a moment.

He has always wanted to raise these strange plants to see what they are.

But the appearance of these insects has greatly threatened the growth of plants.

If the little fox hadn't caught a bug today, he wouldn't have discovered this change for a long time.

But if there are enough silks from these worms, they may be collected in the future to make a good magic robe.

However, these are obviously pests. If they are allowed to continue to multiply and grow, it is estimated that these rice-like plants will be wiped out in the near future.

How to do?
After much deliberation, Xu Chen felt that plants should be the main thing right now, so he searched for a while, and caught two more worms to feed to the Seven Star Golden Toad, but he specially kept the big worm that was spinning and cocooning. down.

He also wanted to see what kind of weird thing the bug would turn into when it came out of the cocoon.

According to the common sense of nature, it must be a scale insect that can fly, such as a moth or a butterfly.

Since the creation of heaven and earth, countless species have been born one after another. Except for the innate species such as gods and demons, the rest of the acquired flesh and blood genera are all insects, which are five species of clam, scale, hair, feather, and insect.

A chrysalis refers to a creature that is naked, hairless, armored, and feathered, and a human being is the head of a chrysalis.

Scale insects refer to the scales and the like, including snakes, lizards, moths, butterflies and other scales, and the dragon is the leader of the scale insects.

The remaining categories are furred beasts, feathered birds, and armored kuns.

There is no distinction between high and low bloodlines among the five insects, each has its own powerful species, and they can all give birth to strong men who can roam the world.

For example, the legendary four holy beasts, Qinglong, Suzaku, Baihu, and Xuanwu belong to the heads of scale insects, feather insects, caterpillars, and insects respectively. The momentum of heaven and earth.

Of course, the insects gnawing on the medicine garden in front of me must be far from the height of the legendary holy beasts, but like these plants, they must have come from an unknown world, perhaps from the legendary paradises above the nine heavens. Species, naturally deserve Xu Chen's careful observation.

The sudden appearance of these spirit insects in the medicine garden also made Xu Chen suddenly solve a big problem, that is, it seemed that he didn't have to worry about the food of the Seven Star Golden Toad for the time being.
