Chapter 29

It was the New Year, and the Ancestral Mountain was lively again, with a bit more fireworks than usual. This year, he led his younger sister to pay New Year's greetings to the elders in the family, and by the way, received some red envelopes.

This year Lin Zhangqing was thirteen years old, and his height was already around his father's nose. In another two years, he would be about the same height as his father. He was growing better and better, with the taste of a handsome young man.

Mother even joked: "Growing like this, I don't know how many little fairy maidens will be fascinated in the future!" Lin Zhangqing was so embarrassed by his mother's words.

To be honest, he had never cared about his appearance. Since he knew this was a cultivation world, he pursued strength more.

Chuwu had already taken the century-old Vermilion Fruit before the New Year, and now it was also a first-grade lower-grade spirit beast. This way, his father would be safer when participating in demon hunting.

There were also three new members in the space, two Vermilion Fruit trees ten to twenty centimeters high. These were planted three days ago and had been catalyzed twice.

There was also a Green Jade Tea tree root that finally sprouted, just emerging 2 centimeters from the ground. This growth speed was a bit slow! But it might be because it was different from spirit fruit trees. Spirit fruit trees had to reach a certain age to mature.

But spirit tea trees could harvest some tea leaves as long as they grew enough. Soon Lin Zhangqing would be able to drink self-produced Green Jade Spirit Tea.

Through the cultivation and catalysis of this Green Jade Tea tree root, it was proven that as long as there were some root systems, they could be saved through the space. Then the sources of high-grade spirit plants would be even wider in the future. This was a very good piece of news.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed. Today, it was time to perform the bloodline contract again. After Lin Zhangqing finished his cultivation, he went directly to Grandfather's house. After telling Grandfather, he entered the cultivation room last time.

He placed the spirit insect eggs well, observed them carefully for a while, and found that the purple on the eggshells was a little richer than before. And he felt that the vitality of the insect eggs had become stronger again. It should be one step closer to hatching.

He started to cast the bloodline contract technique in the insect cultivator inheritance. After finishing the set of complex techniques, and waiting for the techniques to disappear into the formation, Lin Zhangqing dropped two drops of essence blood on the formation again.

The contract array immediately started to diffuse blood mist, and this layer of blood mist was successfully absorbed by the insect eggs. This second bloodline contract should be considered successful.

He took out the spirit herbs that replenished Qi and blood and started taking them, then circulated his energy to refine them. He finally felt a little better. After all, losing four points of essence blood in ten days was indeed a bit much. Lin Zhangqing decided to contract only 3 times, and if he did more, he was afraid it would affect his foundation.

After this contract, the connection between the two sides became stronger again, and they would soon be able to break their shells and be born.

Should he consider preparing food for the little guys? And he had to greet Chuyi and the others, not to treat these little cuties as food and eat them. One had to know that Golden Winged Birds loved eating insects the most!

Time flew by, and a month passed. Since completing the third bloodline contract twenty days ago, Lin Zhangqing had left the spirit insect eggs in the formation and didn't take them away. He would come to see them every other day.

Today, just after finishing his cultivation, he felt a trace of abnormality in his heart. Lin Zhangqing had the experience of Chuyi breaking its shell, so he immediately guessed that the little guys might be about to be born.

Now he was guarding beside the formation. All the purple insect eggs inside were covered with cracks. Finally, one took the lead in breaking through the shackles of the insect shell, and a pair of pale purple crystal-like pincers hit the insect shell. Soon, one after another, crystal-like little scorpions broke their shells and came out.

In about an hour, all 124 had finished breaking their shells. A group of pale purple crystal little scorpions all climbed onto Lin Zhangqing. Fortunately, he didn't have trypophobia, otherwise, his goosebumps would have fallen all over the ground.

Lin Zhangqing observed these little guys carefully. Each was about three centimeters long, and even if the tail needle was straightened, it was less than six centimeters. Their bodies were slender and their limbs were powerful.

He could be sure that these were definitely not Purple Cloud Scorpions. What exactly they were had to be compared with the spirit insect spectrum or the strange insect list. The most urgent task now was to feed them first.

He took out the prepared tender insect meat, and the little guys swarmed up and started gnawing on the food.

While they were eating, Lin Zhangqing took out the spirit insect spectrum and turned to the scorpion part to compare them one by one, and found that none of them matched.

He took out the strange insect list attached to the insect cultivator inheritance again, and finally found a similar one at the 36th place on the strange insect list, named Great Sun Purple Crystal Scorpion.

Great Sun Purple Crystal Scorpion did not belong to the five-element attribute spirit insects, but belonged to the rare soul attribute and light attribute, gregarious creatures, small body, fast moving speed.

Omnivorous spirit insects, meat, spirit herbs, spirit fruits, spirit plants, as long as they had spiritual energy, they could eat, especially liking to gnaw on spirit stones and spirit crystals.

Like spirit crystals, purple crystals, ice crystals, various five-element crystals, etc., they all liked to gnaw on.

At the first grade, the main means of attack was the Great Sun Purple Light Needle at the tail, which was very fierce in attack and had miraculous effects on breaking shields and breaking covers.

And as long as they pierced the body, the prey would feel severe pain, as if the soul was being torn apart. If pierced by many, it was possible to be lived to death by pain.

The defensive means was the crystal shell on the body. With the growth of age and cultivation, the defense of the crystal shell would become stronger and stronger. The color would also become deeper. Now it was still pale purple. It would become dark purple in the future. And because it was a light-attribute spirit insect, it would also know low-grade invisibility, and the effect was very good.

At the second grade, it would comprehend the origin spell Purple Light Ray, which also had the same effect as the Purple Light Needle, just one was close attack and one was long-range attack.

And it would grow the first pair of purple crystal wings, and the color of the insect shell on the body would also become deeper. And the invisibility technique would be more exquisite.

At the third grade, it would automatically comprehend high-grade invisibility, and the Purple Light Ray would advance to become Soul-Shattering Ray. And it would grow the second pair of purple crystal wings.

There was no record of the fourth grade, but there were many records of Golden Core stage cultivators falling into the hands of third-grade Great Sun Purple Crystal Scorpions.

Lin Zhangqing looked at the records on the strange insect list and couldn't help but show a smile on his face, very satisfied with the Great Sun Purple Crystal Scorpion.

If there were no other things, wouldn't there be spirit fruits and high-grade spirit stones? Especially spirit fruits, just plant more.

These little guys were fine at the first grade, but at the second grade, that would be extraordinary. They could be invisible, fly, and attack from a distance, and they were soul attacks, natural hunters. No wonder they ranked 36th on the strange insect list! Must cultivate them well? Let them advance early, and give them more spirit fruits in the future.

Now Lin Zhangqing could be sure of one thing, and that was that the purple halo must be related to the soul. Like the Earth Soul Fruit tree and the Great Sun Purple Crystal Scorpion, both were purple halos, one increased soul power, one could attack the soul, and both were related to the soul.

Not bad, not bad, he had a little more understanding of his abilities, and they would definitely become clearer and clearer in the future.

Lin Zhangqing also considered another problem: should he let his family know about the Purple Crystal Scorpion?

He thought about it and decided to tell them. Lin Zhangqing didn't want to hide everything from his family. Happiness should be shared. Lin Zhangqing believed they wouldn't betray him.

Besides, letting them know he had such powerful defensive means, so they could rest assured when he went out to venture in the future, right!

At this time, the Purple Crystal Scorpions finally finished eating and all climbed onto Lin Zhangqing's chest and stomach, obviously treating Lin Zhangqing as their mother.

He still had to find a spirit beast bag or spirit insect bag, otherwise, if he went out like this, his younger sister would be scared to death if she saw it.

He packed up, came out of the cultivation room, saw Grandfather, and told him about the Purple Crystal Scorpion.

Grandfather was amazed and instructed Lin Zhangqing to cultivate them well and not let them fall easily.

He would go to the Affairs Hall to see if there were any spirit beast bags, and if not, he would buy one for Lin Zhangqing when he went to the Pingyang market in a while.

He let Lin Zhangqing wait here and not go out, and he went to the Affairs Hall to see if he could exchange for one.

After speaking, he went toward the Affairs Hall. He came back shortly, holding a small bag in his hand, presumably it was it.

"The Affairs Hall didn't have a spirit insect bag, this is a spirit beast bag, use it for now, and exchange it when you encounter a good one in the future!"

"Thank you, Grandfather." Lin Zhangqing hurriedly thanked Grandfather.

He also told Grandfather about wanting to let his family know about the Purple Crystal Scorpion, and Grandfather agreed after considering it.

Lin Zhangqing also refined the spirit beast bag, and then put the Purple Crystal Scorpion into it and hung it on his waist. This way, he didn't have to worry about scaring others.

In the evening, when everyone finished dinner and gathered together, he told everyone about the Purple Crystal Scorpion, and everyone shouted to see it. Lin Zhangqing had to summon them out and let everyone recognize them.

Mother and Aunt sighed one after another that the Purple Crystal Scorpion was beautiful, like purple crystal. If it stayed on something without moving, others wouldn't think it was a living thing.

This gave Lin Zhangqing inspiration. If he made a beautiful purple crystal hairpin and let the Purple Crystal Scorpion stay on it without moving, and then issued a fatal blow at the right time, this was simply a sharp weapon for harming people!

The idea was good, write it down first. It was a pity that it was only suitable for women. He would talk about it when the Purple Crystal Scorpion became stronger in the future. If necessary, it would be worth giving one to Mother, Aunt, and younger sister each.
