Chapter 1901: Insect-Breeding Secret Technique
"So that's how it is. It seems the cultivation of this insect king mostly requires a large number of Gold-Devouring Insects to devour each other to be produced," Han Li's eyes flashed, and he said thoughtfully.
"Little Brother is indeed intelligent. Although it's not entirely correct, it's close. However, regarding the matter of the Gold-Devouring Insect King, apart from the few Supreme Elders of our Mayfly Clan, very few people in the outside world know about it. Little Brother, you were not surprised at all when I talked to you about the insect king just now, it seems you have known about it for a long time. The one who told you should be Qing Tian Yuanzi, right? Only he and another Supreme Elder of our clan have some interaction, so he might know a little bit," Xu Ling old man praised, but then sneered.
"This junior did indeed hear about it once from Senior Jiang. I heard that once this Gold-Devouring Insect King is completed, even a True Immortal in the Immortal Realm would have to retreat three feet. Is this true?" Han Li was silent for a moment before asking slowly.
"Although it's an exaggeration, the Gold-Devouring Insect King is indeed peerless in power. If I were to encounter it, I would definitely not want to fight it head-on," Xu Ling old man replied with a light smile.
"So that's how it is. But I wonder, Senior, if you get this junior's spirit insects, how much confidence do you have that you can cultivate the insect king!" Han Li nodded, and the topic suddenly changed again.
"How much confidence!" The old man narrowed his eyes and thought for a while before finally extending two fingers to Han Li.
"Only twenty percent. This chance is truly not high," Han Li's expression changed, and he replied solemnly.
"Hmph, what do you think the Gold-Devouring Insect King is, Little Brother? Twenty percent confidence is already the result of my many years of painstaking research on insect-breeding techniques, and having other means as a backup. If it were someone else, they wouldn't even have a one percent chance. Alright, you have asked everything you should have asked, and this question was originally beyond the agreement. Now it's time for you to fulfill the agreement. What conditions do you have? You can put them forward directly now," hearing Han Li's somewhat surprised voice, the old man's face sank, and he said.
"This junior wouldn't dare to look down on Senior. As for the deal, since this junior has agreed, I will naturally fulfill it. As for the conditions for the exchange, this junior only has two," Han Li seemed to have already made a decision in his heart, and as soon as the old man said this, he replied without hesitation.
"What two conditions? Let's hear them," the old man heard Han Li's words, his expression softened, and he nodded.
"First, this junior doesn't want Senior's other treasures, I only want some more Nether River Spirit Milk. Senior just said that with enough Gold-Devouring Insects, the spirit milk is of no great use to Senior. I imagine this condition is not too difficult for Senior. Second, this junior also knows some insect-breeding techniques, and I have some remaining Gold-Devouring Insects in my hand, so I also want to try cultivating the Gold-Devouring Insect King. Although I don't know how many years it will be before I can gather enough Gold-Devouring Insects, I still want to give it a try. So I want to ask Senior for a complete secret technique for cultivating the Gold-Devouring Insect King," Han Li said solemnly one by one.
Xu Ling old man's originally smiling face changed after hearing Han Li's words, and he fell into deep thought.
"It's just a bit troublesome, but Senior can still do it. This junior is not wrong, right? Moreover, Senior should be very clear that compared to Senior's life-bound spirit insects or the Heaven-Piercing fragment, this junior's conditions are already insignificant," Han Li smiled slightly and said frankly.
"Hehe, what you said is also somewhat reasonable, Little Brother. Alright, I can agree to your conditions. However, regarding the second secret technique for cultivating the insect king, you must take a poisonous oath with your heart demon in front of me, promising never to let a second person know about this secret technique. Once you reach your level of cultivation, the restraint of the heart demon is the most terrifying. Once you violate it, you are very likely to perish during the tribulation. If so, I can take the lead and pass this secret technique to you," the old man smiled abruptly and said.
"No problem, this is as it should be. This junior is willing to take the oath!" Han Li was overjoyed, his expression tightened, and he truly took a vicious oath with his heart demon that even Xu Ling old man couldn't find fault with.
"Good, let's start the deal. You take these few bottles of spirit milk first," the old man nodded with satisfaction, shook his sleeve, and immediately five jade-green small bottles appeared, flying straight toward Han Li.
Han Li's expression tightened, he grabbed with his hand, and received the five small bottles into his hand.
Then he opened the bottle caps one by one and swept them with his divine sense, his face revealing a trace of joy.
"Senior, here are five thousand mature Gold-Devouring Insects, please inspect them," Han Li also took out a spirit beast ring from his sleeve and threw it over with a flick of his wrist.
The old man rolled his sleeve and received the ring into his hand.
He didn't open the spirit beast ring immediately, but pressed several fingers lightly on the ring, closed his eyes, and invaded it with his divine sense.
After a while, an excited expression appeared on the old man's face.
"Not bad, they are indeed all complete mature Gold-Devouring Insects, and they are cultivated even better than I expected. Very good. Keep this jade slip well, and never let a second person see it again," the old man opened his eyes and said.
As soon as the words fell, a jade slip that had been prepared long ago flew out from his sleeve and arrived above Han Li's head in a few flashes.
"This junior will keep it in mind," Han Li also flashed with joy and bowed respectfully, grabbing the jade slip into his hand and placing it on his forehead.
In an instant, the dense ancient texts and vivid pictures in the jade slip appeared in his mind.
And Xu Ling old man, after receiving the spirit beast ring filled with Gold-Devouring Insects, felt completely at ease, and instead looked at Han Li with a half-smile, seemingly even more interested in Han Li.
I don't know how much time passed before Han Li's expression shifted, and he moved the jade slip away from his forehead, withdrawing all his divine sense.
"How about it, is there any problem with the secret technique I gave you?" The old man asked with a light smile.
"This junior wouldn't dare to think so! The insect-breeding secret technique Senior gave is mysterious and peerless, and it has cleared up some of this junior's previous doubts, making me suddenly enlightened," Han Li put the jade slip into his sleeve and replied respectfully.
"Oh, you were able to have some insights just by looking at the general idea, it seems your attainments in insect-driving techniques are truly not shallow. However, I still want to advise you, Little Brother, that although the Gold-Devouring Insect King is peerless, cultivating it truly requires both opportunity and painstaking effort. Little Brother, you should act according to your ability," Xu Ling old man said meaningfully.
"Thank you, Senior, for the guidance, this junior will act with discretion," Han Li's expression shifted and he said.
"Hmm, just know that. Since our deal is over, you leave the Black Wind Pavilion first, and I will go out later. Don't let Brother Golden and the other wait too long," the old man nodded, and ordered calmly.
"Yes, this junior will take my leave first," Han Li naturally had no objections, bowed again, and transformed into a green rainbow, flying out of the hall and disappearing into the black energy outside in the blink of an eye.
"Hehe, Gold-Devouring Insect King! A mere Body Integration cultivator actually dares to think about this. If it were truly so easy to cultivate an existence comparable to a True Immortal, our Mayfly Clan would have long dominated the entire Spirit Realm. Our clan has obtained this insect-breeding technique for so many years, and I haven't seen anyone truly succeed. It's just a pity about those few bottles of spirit milk. However, with so many Gold-Devouring Insects, the Myriad Spirit Umbrella I am refining for the tribulation should be ten-to-nine successful. Mature Gold-Devouring Insects themselves are almost indestructible, so the Myriad Spirit Umbrella refined from them should also be unbreakable. I truly have one more point of confidence in passing that ascension tribulation," the old man sneered after Han Li's light disappeared, and muttered to himself.
Then, Xu Ling old man flipped his hand, and the spirit beast ring containing the Gold-Devouring Insects appeared again. The old man immediately formed a seal with one hand and tapped lightly on the ring.
Immediately, spirit light flashed, and a piece of black mist surged from his fingertips, rolling the ring, and the entire spirit beast ring actually turned into a piece of black mysterious ice, emitting astonishing cold air.
With two "Pa-Pa" sounds!
His other hand flashed, and he instantly pasted several blue, shiny talismans on the mysterious ice, and only then did he relax his face and collect the mysterious ice again.
Half an hour later, a golden and a green streak of light flew out from the white light screen of the island, circled, and broke through the air in a certain direction.
In the light were naturally Han Li and Qing Tian Yuanzi.
After Han Li and Xu Ling old man came out of the Black Wind Pavilion one after another, I don't know if it was because of a tacit understanding, but neither Marquis Golden Flame nor Qing Tian Yuanzi asked about any matters regarding the deal between Han Li and Xu Ling.
After chatting about some other things and tasting the top-grade spirit wine brewed by Marquis Golden Flame, the group bid farewell and left. 【1901-
After chatting about some other matters and tasting the premium spirit wine brewed by Marquis Jinyan, the group bid each other farewell and departed.
Along the way, the two did not converse much, flying directly toward the location of Qing Tian Yuanzi's cave dwelling.
More than ten days later, Han Li finally saw the tall, giant peak in the distance that looked somewhat familiar.
At this moment, Qing Tian Yuanzi's escape light suddenly came to a halt. Han Li was startled for a moment, and naturally, he also stopped in place.
"Little Friend Han, you should have obtained what you wanted on this trip, and you even had some additional gains. I consider your favor repaid. Therefore, after returning, I do not intend to keep you here any longer; instead, I plan to seal the mountain immediately and focus on preparing for the next Great Heavenly Tribulation. Only if Yao'er's magic power also advances to the Body Integration stage can she assist me during my tribulation. So, I must take her into seclusion together. I have long since prepared the pills for her to break through her bottleneck; unless she can successfully advance to the Body Integration stage, I will not easily let her leave the mountain. Little Friend Han, do you understand my meaning?" Qing Tian Yuanzi suddenly said to Han Li indifferently.
