Chapter 260: Second-Grade Purple Crystal Scorpion

When his aunt saw that her sister-in-law Xu Wenying had suddenly reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and only needed to spend a little bit of time to polish her true energy before she could attempt Foundation Establishment.

She was dumbfounded on the spot, because even consuming a hundred-year Vermilion Fruit didn't have such a powerful effect!

After she learned the specific situation from his mother, Lin Zhangqing couldn't escape, and was directly grabbed by her.

Then, his aunt pinched Lin Zhangqing's face and asked: "Little Qing'er! Why didn't Aunt have the Hundred Flowers Drunken Soul Wine? Did you forget Aunt?"

Lin Zhangqing had long known it would be like this, so he hurriedly said: "No such thing, Aunt has been so good to me since I was young, even if I forget others, I can't forget you!"

"I have already prepared the things for you long ago. After we finish the spirit meal, I will give you the Hundred Flowers Drunken Soul Wine!"

His aunt heard this and was happy, nodding and letting go of the hand pinching Lin Zhangqing's face, "That's more like it, Aunt didn't spoil you in vain! Little Qing'er! Your mouth is quite sweet, no wonder you have a Dao companion so quickly!"

Grandfather was full of smiles watching the family play. After a while, he spoke to everyone: "You all listen, now Qing'er's stock of Hundred Flowers Drunken Soul Wine is extremely small, you all know it yourselves."

"It is not allowed to mention it in front of any outsiders! Otherwise, we won't be able to handle it. Do you all understand?"

His mother, aunt, and sister all nodded repeatedly, indicating they understood and promised not to mention it in front of outsiders.

Subsequently, Grandfather continued: "Wenying, since you have already reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, you must seize the time to polish your true energy well. The Foundation Establishment Pill has already been prepared for you."

"Also, remember to spend some time in the family Scripture Pavilion to read more of the ancestors' Foundation Establishment insights."

"Then let Maosheng and Maoting tell you their Foundation Establishment experiences in detail, consider all possible problems, and strive to be foolproof and succeed in Foundation Establishment at once!"

When his mother heard that the Foundation Establishment Pill had been prepared for her, she was extremely happy. She might be the first foreign-surname daughter-in-law of the Lin family to Foundation Establishment! Mother Xu Wenying hurriedly answered respectfully: "Thank you, Dad! Daughter-in-law understands, I will definitely make full preparations and strive to succeed in Foundation Establishment at once!"

Grandfather nodded and continued: "Take your time. When you feel you have no problems at all, come find me, and I will help you apply to the Clan Leader to go into closed-door cultivation for Foundation Establishment near the family's spirit eye!"

His mother heard this and was extremely excited, agreeing and thanking Lin Zhangqing's grandfather solemnly again!

The spirit eye of the Lin family's third-grade spirit vein was the core important place of the whole family and could not be approached casually!

Being able to go into closed-door cultivation or Foundation Establishment in that place was a person recognized and trusted by the family's high-level.

Originally, she was prepared to go into closed-door cultivation for Foundation Establishment in the cultivation room at home, and at most exchange for more middle-grade water spirit stones, which also had a certain promoting effect.

She didn't expect this unexpected joy, which could be considered the family's recognition of her!

Subsequently, after the whole family happily finished the spirit meal, his aunt couldn't wait to pull Lin Zhangqing and his mother to her own small courtyard.

Today his mother was in a particularly good mood, so without Lin Zhangqing opening his mouth, his mother had already started introducing it to his aunt in detail.

Lin Zhangqing was happy to be relaxed. When the two of them had said almost enough.

Lin Zhangqing took out the Mysterious Yuan Heavy Water Bottle and then took a group of Hundred Flowers Drunken Soul Wine from the heavy water bottle. This time, the portion was a little bit more than what he gave the Fourteenth Uncle at that time.

He sent the spirit wine to his aunt, who swallowed it herself. Then his mother let her lie down quickly. Soon, in just a short while, his aunt fell into a deep sleep! After a few hours, when his aunt woke up, she would be at the second layer of Foundation Establishment. Leaving his mother here to guard his aunt, Lin Zhangqing left first.

He prepared to go back to continue reading. That spirit medicine record had to be learned as soon as possible, and a series of spells and techniques needed for alchemy also had to be learned and cultivated. As for the pill formulas, he would learn them last.

Returning to his room, he brewed a pot of Green Jade Spirit Tea for himself. Every time he brewed tea, he would involuntarily think of Chen Ziya! He wondered how she was doing now, and if she had already started closed-door cultivation, preparing for Foundation Establishment! After tidying up his mood, he took out the spirit medicine record and started reading it seriously, and time passed unknowingly like this.

Two hours later, Lin Zhangqing closed the record and then started the cultivation of the Thunder True Scripture.

Days passed day by day like this. This day, Lin Zhangqing was at Aoyun Peak, having just completed the catalysis task for the spirit medicines in the spirit fields, and was sitting in the pavilion drinking tea and resting.

Suddenly, he felt a sense, and it was a continuous sense. This was a very wonderful feeling: one, two, three... eight, nine! After the ninth one, there was no more! After waiting for a long time, Lin Zhangqing was already starting to blame himself for being restless, but the tenth sense finally arrived.

That's right, these ten continuous senses were from those ten molting Purple Crystal Scorpions. These little guys spent half a month and finally completed their advancement. Now they were all second-grade spirit insects.

Just now, the tenth sense was late in arriving, so he knew that his inability to hold back and move that Purple Crystal Scorpion that day still caused some impact on it. Fortunately, it finally succeeded, otherwise Lin Zhangqing would have regretted it even more.

He hurriedly found a piece of demonic beast meat in his storage bag, turned it into relatively small shredded meat, and put a portion of ginger yellow crystals on the side to prepare.

Then he released the ten second-grade Purple Crystal Scorpions. Having just completed their advancement, they needed to replenish some food. As soon as the ten little guys came out, they wolfed down the food.

Soon, the shredded demonic beast meat Lin Zhangqing prepared was eaten up, and there was still a meaning of not enough. Lin Zhangqing immediately supplemented some more.

Estimating that they had eaten almost enough, he released the portion of ginger yellow crystals for them to gnaw on!

After they stopped gnawing, Lin Zhangqing picked up a Purple Crystal Scorpion to play with. He liked it more and more! This molting advancement didn't change the body length much, only growing about an inch longer, and the purple color was more intense!

The biggest change was the pair of wings on its back. These wings were also purple, which should be the Purple Crystal Wings recorded! The shape was similar to the wings of a spirit cicada, just a bit longer, and the overall appearance was very smooth and beautiful.

If the Purple Crystal Scorpion stood still, it really looked like it was carved from purple crystal, and after looking at it for a long time, one couldn't help but feel happy!

He took out the 'Strange Insect List' from his storage bag and turned to the page of the Purple Crystal Scorpion, reading it carefully again.

Skipping the introduction of habits, he directly read the introduction of the second grade, which recorded that when the Purple Crystal Scorpion reached the second grade, it would comprehend a kind of innate spell, named Purple Light Ray.

Its effect was similar to the Great Sun Purple Light Needle, except one was a long-range attack, and one was a close-range attack.

And after advancing to the second grade, the invisibility technique would be more refined.

Lin Zhangqing estimated that when the Purple Crystal Scorpion was at the first grade, the invisibility technique was roughly at the entry to minor accomplishment level.

The reason why the invisibility effect was so good should be because the Purple Crystal Scorpion itself was a light-system spirit insect, with a racial talent bonus.

Now that it had advanced to the second grade, the invisibility effect should be between the minor accomplishment and major accomplishment level, plus the racial talent bonus, the invisibility effect must be even better than before!

And Lin Zhangqing could be sure that after the Purple Crystal Scorpion advanced to the second grade, it became more spiritual.

Before, when he checked their bodies, they didn't know how to cooperate much. Now that they had advanced, they knew how to cooperate with him when he checked their bodies!

Lin Zhangqing pulled up its wings, and it actually knew how to spread its wings and stay still, letting Lin Zhangqing check. Just this point alone was smarter and more spiritual than before! Their invisibility technique was ineffective against Lin Zhangqing. Even if he couldn't see them, Lin Zhangqing knew they were there.

The newly comprehended innate spell, Purple Light Ray, could be tested. Thinking of this, Lin Zhangqing's heart moved, and the ten Purple Crystal Scorpions started waving their wings, stumbling and trying to fly!

Soon, without long, the ten little guys were flying quite well, all flying and weaving within a range of dozens of zhang around Lin Zhangqing.

This was not controlled by Lin Zhangqing, but their own spontaneous behavior. In the end, they turned into ten faint purple rays of light.

Lin Zhangqing ignored them, walked out of the courtyard, found a large rock, and with a thought, the ten Purple Crystal Scorpions flew into the air and then fired a Purple Light Ray at the position Lin Zhangqing specified.

After ten purple rays, ten small holes two fingers wide appeared on the rock. Lin Zhangqing probed his divine sense in to measure it.

It was a little over two feet deep, and the inner wall of the small hole was very smooth; this was the power at a distance of about thirty zhang.

Lin Zhangqing retreated to a position of about sixty zhang and had the Purple Crystal Scorpion fire a purple light ray again. Then, Lin Zhangqing went over to measure it, and this time it was only a little over one and a half feet deep.

Retreating again to a position one hundred zhang away, after the purple light, the depth of the small hole was only a little over one foot left.

After three rounds of power testing, Lin Zhangqing had a clear idea of the power of the purple light rays!
