Changfeng Chuan

Chapter 383 Gold Beetle

Gu Changfeng walked straight to the second floor of the wooden house, a room similar to an incubator.

The room is very spacious, nearly ten feet square.

On the wooden floor, dense green sigils were carved, forming a magic circle.

At the bottom of the four walls of the room, pots of identical spiritual plants were placed next to each other.

These spiritual plants are similar to vines, growing upward along the wall, covering the entire wall and the ceiling of the room.

Then the vines hung down and connected to the weird cocoon.

Just hang the cocoon in the center of the magic circle.

From this point of view, this silkworm cocoon looks like a fruit grown from a vine.

Gu Changfeng stood at the door of the room, not in a hurry to go in.

He still used his spiritual consciousness to carefully explore every corner of the room.

After a moment, he turned to look at Lan Xiangxiang beside him and asked, "Have you ever been in this room?"

"I've never been in." Lan Xiangxiang shook her head gently.

Gu Changfeng did not speak when he heard this, but turned around and looked at the silkworm cocoon hanging in mid-air again.

Gu Changfeng observed that the cocoon would shrink every once in a while, as if it was "breathing".

Moreover, as the cocoon "breathes", the magic circle below it will also brighten, and then slowly dim.

Obviously, Lan Xiangxiang noticed the state of the silkworm cocoon and felt that it should still be "alive".

After carefully checking every corner of the room, Gu Changfeng gathered his consciousness and explored the cocoon.

As his spiritual consciousness penetrated, the internal situation of the silkworm cocoon was slowly revealed before Gu Changfeng's eyes.

Inside the cocoon, there lay a spiritual insect that Gu Changfeng had never seen before.

This is a beetle-like spiritual insect. Its front section has a pair of claws the size of a human head, fleshy wings on its back, and eight pairs of legs under its abdomen.

At first glance, it looks like a composite product spliced ​​together by various spiritual insects. It is extremely ugly.

Gu Changfeng could feel that the spirit insect seemed extremely weak and had fallen into a deep sleep.

After Gu Changfeng obtained the Fallen Immortal Queen Bee, he had carefully studied the cultivation and habits of spiritual insects for a period of time.

He knew that the "sleeping" of the spiritual insect in front of him was the last barrier for the spiritual insect to protect itself.

Even calling it suspended animation is not an exaggeration.

It is impossible for a spirit insect in this state to wake up on its own without external interference.

Gu Changfeng confirmed the status of the spirit insect and walked into the room.

After circling the cocoon, he flipped his wrist and took out a spiritual stone, and slowly approached the cocoon.

But even if he attached the spirit stone to the cocoon, the latter still didn't react at all.

It seems that what this spiritual insect lacks is not spiritual energy.

Seeing this, Gu Changfeng looked at the surrounding vines again.

These vines were also of a variety he had never seen before. Like silkworm cocoons, the vines also had a ghostly appearance.

Gu Changfeng was a little annoyed. He knew nothing about spiritual plants and could not see the connection between these vines and silkworm cocoons.

There was nothing he could do to revive the vines.

"Senior Gu, is there anything wrong with this vine?"

When Gu Changfeng was at a loss what to do, Lan Xiangxiang came over.

"Oh?" Gu Changfeng looked at Lan Xiangxiang in surprise, "It sounds like Lan Fairy has done a lot of research on spiritual plants."

"Junior just likes to take care of some flowers and plants." Lan Xiangxiang said a little embarrassed.

"What I raise are some low-level spiritual flowers and spiritual grasses, which are of low value and easy to survive."

"Then you are better than me in this aspect." Gu Changfeng said with a smile, "Look, this vine looks like this now. Does it lack any nutrients?"

"Okay, Senior Gu." Lan Xiangxiang walked to the front and began to look at the vines carefully.

After a while, Lan Xiangxiang breathed a sigh of relief and said to Gu Changfeng, "Senior Gu, I think I have found the root cause."

"Senior, look, I think the spiritual soil in these flower pots has lost its spirituality, causing the vines to lack nutrients."

Lan Xiangxiang pointed to a flowerpot that looked like a water tank and said.

"These are excellent spiritual soils, but they have lost their original spirituality because of their age."

"Can we exchange some spiritual soil for this thing to come back to life?" Gu Changfeng pointed at the cocoon and asked.

"Well." Lan Xiangxiang said hesitantly, "I don't know if this thing will wake up."

"But, senior, do you want me to replace the soil for these vines?"

"This junior feels that even if the spiritual soil is replaced for it, the probability of it waking up will not be too high."

"And what if this thing suddenly wakes up and becomes hostile to us?"

"Don't worry about this one." Gu Changfeng said, "If this thing wakes up and hurts someone, I will deal with it."

Through the exploration of his spiritual consciousness, Gu Changfeng had roughly understood the strength of the spiritual worm in the cocoon.

Although this spirit insect is currently in a self-proclaimed state of suspended animation, its estimate of its strength may be biased.

But its approximate strength can still be observed.

Gu Changfeng estimated that this spirit insect was at the top of the Fusion God Realm.

With his strength, he is still confident in dealing with this guy.

"Okay, since senior is so sure, then junior will give it a try."

Lan Xiangxiang nodded and took out a few bags of brown soil from the storage bag.

Gu Changfeng could tell at a glance that the spiritual power contained in these soils was considerable, and the quality of the soil could barely be called average.

Gu Changfeng watched Lan Xiangxiang busy at the side. In less than one stick of incense, Lan Xiangxiang replaced all the soil in the flower pots in the room.

"The replacement of the spiritual soil has been completed." Lan Xiangxiang said as she wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Gu Changfeng was a little surprised when he discovered that replacing the spiritual soil would also consume the monk's spiritual power.

"I'm going to pour some spiritual liquid next." Lan Xiangxiang turned around and looked at Gu Changfeng and said, "Senior, be prepared. If there is any abnormality in this cocoon, we can take advantage of it."

Gu Changfeng nodded and said nothing.

He waved his hand casually, and spiritual power surged out from his fingertips, forming sealing spells around the cocoon.

At the same time, a small silver clock flew out of his cuff, came to the top of the cocoon, and started spinning.

Seeing that Gu Changfeng was well prepared, Lan Xiangxiang carefully took out a jade vase and held the magic weapon against the jade vase.

Immediately afterwards, the jade bottle started spinning and flew into the air. Then the mouth of the bottle opened wide, and drops of spiritual liquid flew out from it, landing accurately in each flower pot.

The spiritual liquid dripped in, and the spiritual soil suddenly glowed with a hazy spiritual light.

After a while, the vines slowly unfolded, and protrusions like blood vessels appeared on their surface.

The vines are like a hungry old man, greedily sucking the spiritual power in the spiritual soil.

As the vines recovered, Gu Changfeng discovered that the "breathing" frequency of the silkworm cocoon hanging in mid-air was also gradually increasing.

Less than half an hour later, Cocoon's "breathing frequency" was the same as that of a normal monk.

During this process, Gu Changfeng had been exploring the inside of the cocoon with his spiritual consciousness.

As time went by, that ugly spirit insect also changed significantly.

Gu Changfeng could clearly feel that its breath was gradually recovering. However, this process is too slow. Gu Changfeng conservatively estimates that it will be impossible for this thing to lift its self-proclaimed status within three to five years.

"How is it? Senior Gu, has there been any change in this cocoon?"

Seeing Gu Changfeng frown slightly, Lan Xiangxiang couldn't help but ask.

"There's a change, but not much."

Gu Changfeng shook his head and told Lan Xiangxiang the situation inside the cocoon.

"It will take three to five years?" Lan Xiangxiang couldn't help but frowned after hearing Gu Changfeng's statement, "We can't wait for it for a few more years."

"Senior Gu, why don't you accept this thing?"

"Or I can take back the spiritual soil and let it fend for itself here."

Lan Xiangxiang thought for a moment and suggested, "The main purpose of our visit this time is to find the hidden technique for you, senior."

"You can't let a spiritual insect get in your way."

"No." Gu Changfeng shook his head gently, "Take the spiritual soil back, or I put it in the spirit insect bag. I don't think it will live long."

"Besides, I have a feeling that this spiritual insect should be very important."

Gu Changfeng had explored the area on the way here.

Among this complex of buildings, the wooden house where spirit insects are stored should be the largest one.

Moreover, the location of this wooden house is right on the edge of the central area.

Gu Changfeng believed that he had a blank view of this ruins and had no understanding at all.

If he wanted to successfully obtain the hidden magical power, he believed that he must have an in-depth understanding of this ruins.

The strength of this spiritual insect is not weak. Even if it is just a spiritual insect, it still has some spiritual existence.

As long as it is saved, we will definitely be able to learn relevant information about this ruins through it.

"Senior, what are you going to do?" Lan Xiangxiang asked.

"You don't want to adopt it as a spiritual pet, do you?"

Lan Xiangxiang thought about it and looked at Gu Changfeng in surprise.

Gu Changfeng did not speak, but the spiritual energy attached to his palms slowly touched the cocoon.

The cocoon was warm to the touch, just like human body temperature. The next moment, the sound of the system rang in Gu Changfeng's ears.

"Mutant Scarab (Sleeping), a sleeping mutant Scarab. Due to external interference, its body mutated and accommodated the heart of the Star Beast."

Gu Changfeng's eyes flashed when he heard the sound of the system.

"Contains the heart of the star beast!"

Gu Changfeng thought secretly in his heart.

From the beginning, he used his spiritual consciousness to try to explore every inch of the spirit insect's body.

But there is always an inexplicable force that blocks his consciousness.

This shielding force is very weak. If Gu Changfeng wanted to, he could easily break through it.

But if this is done, then this spirit insect will be completely dead.

Although this spirit worm was ugly, it could accommodate the star beast's heart, which made Gu Changfeng more determined to capture him.

After gathering his attention, Gu Changfeng took a step back, flicked his sleeves and robe, and the Five Elements Spirit Guards appeared.

Following his thoughts, the Five Elements Spirit Guards jumped to the corner of the room and placed a Five Elements Restriction.

The next moment, two jade soldiers suddenly appeared at the door of the room.

Right behind Lan Xiangxiang.

Lan Xiangxiang was shocked when she saw this, but she resisted speaking.

After doing all this, Gu Changfeng turned his back to Lan Xiangxiang and quickly rotated his hands and began to form seals.

One by one, the profound and obscure spells quickly condensed in his hands.

"receive!"

The next moment, Gu Changfeng suddenly took a step forward, his right hand glowed with blood, and he slapped the cocoon hard.

In an instant, blood-red talismans extended in all directions from Gu Changfeng's palm, covering the entire cocoon in the blink of an eye.

As the cocoon "breathed", these blood-red sigils gradually disappeared into the cocoon and landed on the body of the golden beetle.

After the sleeping scarab trembled for a few times, it returned to its original state and became motionless.

All this was seen by Gu Changfeng. Under his mutated contract, there was no pressure to enslave a spirit insect that was weaker than himself.

After successfully subduing it, Gu Changfeng's left hand glowed with white light and he patted the cocoon again.

The next moment, the rich power of time rushed into the cocoon and poured into the body of the golden beetle.

At the same time, Gu Changfeng used spiritual power to wrap the liquid of birth, and then penetrated into the body of the golden beetle.

When the liquid of birth enters the body, the golden beetle changes instantly.

It tremblingly opened its four eyes and looked in the direction of Gu Changfeng.

Through the mind-to-mind connection, Gu Changfeng felt the surrender coming from the golden beetle, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, he has not used this mutant contract a few times.

Gu Changfeng was unsure at first whether he could successfully conquer this spiritual insect that lived hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Fortunately, everything went very smoothly.

This spiritual insect is an ownerless thing.

However, this also shows that this spirit insect should be a semi-finished product and has not yet completed the final advancement.

"Release the spiritual fluid a few more times." Gu Changfeng threw Lan Xiangxiang a storage bag without looking back.

Lan Xiangxiang took the storage bag, and after a little exploration, she discovered that there were half a million spiritual stones inside.

These spiritual stones can buy a lot of spiritual liquid.

Lan Xiangxiang didn't dare to neglect, and immediately took out a jade bottle again and began to apply spiritual liquid to those who were suddenly.

Under the influence of the power of time, the golden beetle's condition is rapidly improving.

Soon it came to life completely.

At the same time, its strength has also reached the first level of Fusion God Realm.

Seeing that the golden beetle had awakened, Gu Changfeng withdrew the delivery of the power of time.

In just a few breaths, he spent more than ten years of life.

The cocoon trembled, and a huge claw foot tore the cocoon apart and slowly poked out.

The next moment, an ugly golden beetle appeared in front of Gu Changfeng and Lan Xiangxiang.

The golden beetle lay obediently at Gu Changfeng's feet, its fleshy wings flapping slowly.

Lan Xiangxiang couldn't help but gasped when she saw the ugly appearance of the golden beetle.

The look in Gu Changfeng's eyes also had some inexplicable meaning.

"This is the male cultivator."

"If she were a female cultivator, she wouldn't be able to contract such an ugly insect even if she were beaten to death, right?"
