Chapter 391

Although the "Gold-Devouring Insect" is ranked at the forefront of the Strange Insect List, according to the jade slip of the Spirit-Controlling Sect cultivator, its individual ability is very limited, and it relies entirely on its huge numbers to win. Net

If there are only a dozen or dozens of them, they won't be of much use even after they mature.

Only when the number reaches hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands can it truly match its ranking on the Strange Insect List.

Thinking of the scene of countless insects flying and attacking in the sky, with no end to killing, even Han Li felt a bit cold in his heart.

Therefore, what needs to be done now is to ripen these Gold-Devouring Insects quickly, and then let them produce offspring as soon as possible, so that the number can roll up.

But it's easy to say, but it's really difficult to do.

As a strange insect that existed since ancient times, the Gold-Devouring Insect had long been extinct in the Tiannan cultivation world. The specific feeding and cultivation methods had also been lost for who knows how many generations.

The insect-rearing jade slip of that Spirit-Controlling Sect cultivator was also based on some ancient classic texts, and only then did he organize some habits of this insect, and there was no detailed training method at all.

This made Han Li annoyed for a long time.

In fact, not only this "Gold-Devouring Insect" ranked twelfth, but the strange insects in the top thirty were almost all insect-type demonic beasts that had been extinct in the cultivation world for many years.

That Spirit-Controlling Sect cultivator was originally an insect fanatic, and after collecting various ancient materials for analysis, he ranked these ancient insects into the Strange Insect List.

Whether the ranking at the front of this Strange Insect List is reliable, only God knows!

Han Li's ability to obtain these Gold-Devouring Insects that should have been extinct was also a coincidence.

Because these Gold-Devouring Insects, which still belonged to larvae, for some reason, had been in a state of long sleep in a state of false death deep underground on Little Cai Huan Island since ancient times.

Logically speaking, even if the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, and the seas turned over, these strange insects would not wake up easily.

But Han Li gathered numerous other strange insects together to feed them in his cave dwelling on Little Cai Huan Island, and as a result, the smell of these insects slowly spread underground, actually causing the Gold-Devouring Insects, out of the instinct of feeding, to wake up in groups miraculously.

They had originally long since launched a feeding attack, but among Han Li's strange insects, there were "Blood Jade Spiders" that were mutually antagonistic to them, and out of instinctual fear, they did not dare to get too close to Han Li's cave dwelling.

As a result, they lurked underground on Little Cai Huan Island while staring dead at Han Li's cave dwelling.

And Han Li's shopping trip took the Blood Jade Spiders away together, which gave the Gold-Devouring Insects a chance.

Just like what Han Li saw, these Gold-Devouring Insects devoured all the strange insects he raised, and settled down in the medicinal garden of the cave dwelling as their old nest.

As a result, they were caught in one net by Han Li, who had secretly returned.

Now, since Han Li didn't have the previous insect-rearing mental method, he had to slowly "feel" his way.

First, Han Li tried to put various types of insect food into the insect chamber, and as a result, no matter what type of insect food it was, it was swept away by these hundreds of Gold-Devouring Insects, and they were not picky at all, which made Han Li very happy.

But Han Li's joy only lasted for a few months, and he discovered that no matter how much insect food these Gold-Devouring Insects ate, there was no sign of growth or change.

This made Han Li depressed, so he had to find another way.

This insect loves to eat five metals and spiritual energy, so Han Li tried to feed them some raw ores of five metals and some low-tier spirit stones respectively.

As a result, after swallowing them, these insects also had no unusual changes, and it was a failure again.

Han Li, who was extremely depressed, simply threw the dozen or so "Golden-Backed Mantis" dead eggs that he had always kept into the insect chamber.

After being devoured by the Gold-Devouring Insects, the spiritual energy on these insects finally showed changes, and they seemed even fiercer than before feeding.

This made Han Li surprised, but also worried.

Could it be that these Gold-Devouring Insects only mature after devouring other strange insects? This is difficult to handle!

Apart from two "Blood Jade Spiders," where else does he have any strange insects here.

Helpless, Han Li simply bought some blood food like pigs and sheep from outside and threw it into the insect chamber.

But apart from making these Gold-Devouring Insects even fiercer and more violent, it had no effect of promoting their rank and maturity.

Helpless, Han Li finally ripened enough spiritual herbs and began to refine the "Spirit-Feeding Pill."

Before, he only cared about refining pills to increase his own magic power, and never had time to refine this pill. Now it's just a try.

After a few days, the first furnace of Spirit-Feeding Pills was successfully refined.

Han Li immediately let the "Gold-Devouring Insects" and the two "Blood Jade Spiders" share a portion.

As a result, the effect of the Spirit-Feeding Pill made Han Li half happy and half worried!

What he was happy about was that this pill that could raise the rank of demonic beasts was indeed equally effective for these strange insects.

What he was worried about was that the effect of feeding the "Gold-Devouring Insects" and "Blood Jade Spiders" with the pill was too far apart.

Once the two Blood Jade Spiders took four or five Spirit-Feeding Pills, their spiritual energy was clearly a small section longer the next day, and the effect was very obvious.

And the Gold-Devouring Insects that also shared a few Spirit-Feeding Pills, although the effect existed, compared to the Blood Jade Spiders, it was truly insignificant, with only a trace of growth.

It is estimated that because the number of Gold-Devouring Insects is too large, with hundreds of them sharing, naturally there is no way to have a large increase.

This was only hundreds of them, and thinking of the matter of tens of thousands of them exerting their power in the future, Han Li suddenly lost the confidence to continue raising insects.

He used all the green liquid produced by the small bottle to refine Spirit-Feeding Pills, and it was impossible to cultivate such a scale of "Gold-Devouring Insect" army within a hundred years.

After reaching this conclusion, Han Li lost interest in training the Gold-Devouring Insects. He fed the remaining Spirit-Feeding Pills to the Blood Jade Spiders, and only threw some insect food to the Gold-Devouring Insects every day.

At this time, Han Li had been in Heavenly Star City for half a year.

In the remaining days, he went into seclusion to crazily manufacture second-tier puppets and various talismans.

Talismans don't need to be mentioned; without forming a Core, he still couldn't master mid-tier spells, and naturally couldn't produce mid-tier talismans.

After so many talismans were produced, the only benefit he got was that his talisman-making level for low-tier talismans greatly increased.

Even for low-tier high-grade talismans, he had a success rate of nearly half, which saved him a lot of talisman-making materials.

And the main raw material for second-tier puppets was iron wood that was hundreds of years old. Han Li could ripen it himself, so the cost of manufacturing a puppet was reduced by more than half.

And the souls needed to refine puppets happened to be plenty in the "Soul-Gathering Bowl" he obtained before, all of which were lonely ghosts that had long lost their spiritual sense, and Han Li did not be polite and used them directly as materials.

After all, without spiritual sense, these souls also lost the qualification for reincarnation, and could only be used as ordinary refining materials.

More than two hundred puppets were finally completed, all of which were beast-shaped puppets, which made Han Li extremely satisfied.

But the appearance of these puppets also meant that the spirit stones in Han Li's pocket disappeared again.

Because the cost of one puppet might not be very high, but for more than two hundred of them, plus those materials that were scrapped due to manufacturing failure, the price was truly staggering.

At this time, Han Li had been in seclusion for two full years.

In addition, in these two years, the "Spirit-Feeding Pills" refined by Han Li were all used to feed the Blood Jade Spiders.

Under the urging of powerful medicinal power, these two demonic beasts rose in rank again, entering the ranks of Rank 1 top-tier demonic beasts.

At the same time, Qu Hun also refined the "Primordial Bowl" seven or eight out of ten in these two years.

Although limited by not being the original owner of this magic treasure, he could never achieve unity of heart and spirit, but he could finally store it in his body and exert seven-tenths of its power.

It was not that Han Li had never thought about letting Qu Hun refine his own magic treasure.

But firstly, the materials for magic treasures were truly sky-high prices, and with the remaining spirit stones, he was afraid he couldn't even gather the most ordinary materials.

Secondly, refining a magic treasure is not something that can be cultivated in the primordial spirit in a moment, and at the very least, it would take twenty or thirty years of hard work to have initial power.

Han Li didn't have so much time to waste!

He urgently needed a large number of demonic beast cores to refine spiritual medicine, so he could prepare to start the second turn of the "Three-Turn Primordial Power."

Before this, whether it was training strange insects or refining a large number of puppets, it was all in preparation for going out to sea to kill demonic beasts.

He believed that with puppets, Blood Jade Spiders, array-setting magic tools, plus Qu Hun as the main force, and himself assisting on the side, killing Rank 5 demonic beasts should not be a difficult thing.

Thinking this, Han Li finally left the cave dwelling this day and went to the marketplace of Heavenly Star City with Qu Hun.

Since he wanted to go out to sea to kill high-tier demonic beasts, naturally he needed some information about demonic beasts and the outer star sea islands near the teleportation array.

All of this should be found in the marketplace.

The marketplace of Heavenly Star City is in the first layer of the Holy Mountain.

Its scale is so large that it occupies more than half of the first layer area.

Every day, numerous cultivators come here to buy and sell various magic tools and materials, and in terms of scale and prosperity, it is far from what any marketplace Han Li had seen before could compare to.
