Chapter 366

Chuer personally handed the three young birds to Lin Zhangqing.

Lin Zhangqing first took out the strongest one and handed it to younger sister Lin Changling, and he didn't move the rest for the time being.

He would go find Third Grandfather later and let him handle it; this was what he had promised him at the time.

Lin Changling finally received the Golden Winged Bird young bird she had been thinking about, and she was so happy.

After she went back and contracted this little guy, she would get her wish.

She had always wanted a spirit pet like Chuyi; after getting it, she greeted Lin Zhangqing and Chen Zi Ya and went straight home! The promised three hundred-year Vermilion Fruits could not be given to Chuer immediately; it had only been given a Vermilion Fruit half a month ago, and it definitely hadn't been fully refined yet!

After communicating with it, the three Vermilion Fruits were temporarily kept with Lin Zhangqing, and he would give them to it at a suitable time.

Once Lin Changling left, only Lin Zhangqing and Chen Zi Ya were left on Aoyun Peak! So Lin Zhangqing said to her, "Ya'er, since you're here, I'll take you to see those Purple Crystal Scorpions!"

Chen Zi Ya listened, smiled, and nodded, "Then let's go see them!"

Subsequently, Lin Zhangqing held Chen Zi Ya's hand and came to the place where the Purple Crystal Scorpions often stayed; with a thought, all the little guys immediately gathered toward him.

The fastest to arrive were the ten second-tier Purple Crystal Scorpions; with a flash of ten purple lights, the ten Purple Crystal Scorpions appeared in front of the two.

Lin Zhangqing grabbed one and put it on Chen Zi Ya's hand, letting her play with it, while he also grabbed one and observed it in his hand.

He discovered that these ten Purple Crystal Scorpions were a little larger than the twenty-six that had just advanced, and the color was also deeper, meaning the purple was a little more intense.

Chen Zi Ya observed and said, "Green Brother! Since these little guys are already at the second tier, they should be considered to have entered the mature stage, right! Are they going to raise offspring?"

Lin Zhangqing listened to her ask this, recalled the introduction on the Strange Insect List, and said, "These Purple Crystal Scorpions can only be considered semi-mature when they are at the second tier.

The true fully mature stage should be when they reach the third tier, and they also need a suitable opportunity, at which time they will automatically mate and lay insect eggs.

It's just that at the time, I gave them a very special contract, which is a bloodline contract unique to the insect cultivator inheritance, also called a blood inheritance contract.

The characteristic is to contract the spirit insect with essence blood before it is born, and then repeat the contract with essence blood every ten days or so, requiring at least three repetitions or more.

The more times it is repeated, the stronger the bloodline connection with the master, even to the point where the master's bloodline aura will penetrate into the soul.

Even if they give birth to offspring in the future, their souls will naturally carry the master's bloodline inheritance information, which is equivalent to automatically recognizing the master at birth.

And spirit insects with bloodline contracts are closer to the master, will not easily backfire on the master, and are easier to control and command; even if they are snatched away by others in the future, they cannot re-recognize a master.

As my bloodline information penetrates into their souls, it will be no problem if we give their insect eggs to our children in the future, but others cannot be given them; even if I give them, others cannot recognize them as masters!

Unless they are no longer contracted and allowed to reproduce automatically for several generations, as time passes, my bloodline information will gradually dissipate in their souls.

Only then will they have the possibility of re-recognizing a master; otherwise, even if they are given to others, others will be helpless and have no way to drive them."

Chen Zi Ya listened, feeling both happy and a little disappointed; she was happy that their children would possess more powerful means than others in the future.

She was disappointed because she liked these powerful little guys very much and had originally thought about asking Lin Zhangqing for some to raise herself when they laid eggs. Now it seemed impossible, which was why she felt a little lost.

However, thinking back, if there were no special circumstances, she and Lin Zhangqing would definitely be together often, so having them was the same as having them herself.

So she said, "It's okay, anyway, Green Brother is protecting me!

And when needed, you can still lend them to me like before, and I don't have to specifically take care of them, which can be considered sitting back and enjoying the fruits of others' labor!"

Lin Zhangqing nodded and said with a grin, "Now these little guys are smarter than before; if you command them, it will definitely be easier."

At this time, all the Purple Crystal Scorpions had come in front of the two of them.

Lin Changling had definitely fed them demon beast meat, so he took out several portions of first-tier upper-grade spirit crystals and threw them out for them to gnaw on slowly.

Subsequently, he took all ten second-tier Purple Crystal Scorpions into the spirit beast bracelet, preparing to feed them hundred-year Vermilion Fruits after returning; now that Chen Zi Ya was here, it was not convenient to take them out.

Then the two went to see the spirit herbs in the spirit field; these had been taken care of by Aunt recently, so Lin Zhangqing didn't have to do anything.

After walking around for a while, seeing that there was nothing to do, he let Chen Zi Ya go home first.

It was mainly because when he saw these spirit herbs just now, he thought of the promise he made to Sixth Grandfather to give him an alchemy furnace refined from Red Refined Crystal Copper when he was learning to refine Qi Gathering Pills before.

Now the alchemy furnace was in his storage bag, and he planned to go to the Spirit Medicine Pavilion to find Sixth Grandfather to fulfill his promise.

He flew directly to the Spirit Medicine Pavilion; Lin Zhangqing was now quite familiar with this place, after all, he had been here quite a few times.

At the entrance, he happened to meet Second Brother Lin Changyuan walking out, looking like he was about to leave on his sword; he hadn't seen him for seven or eight months.

Lin Zhangqing was quite happy to see him and shouted, "Second Brother! Where are you going?"

Lin Changyuan was in a good mood and said, "I'm preparing to go to the Affairs Hall; a clansman has completed the task I hung there, and I'm going to take a look now.

Is Ninth Brother looking for him? He is not refining alchemy now and is in the spirit medicine garden; hurry up and find him, I'm leaving!"

After speaking, he ran away in a flash, looking like he was in a hurry.

Lin Zhangqing was a little speechless and couldn't help but shake his head; he originally wanted to catch up on old times with Lin Changyuan.

Now he could only go directly to the spirit medicine garden in the back to find Sixth Grandfather; soon he found him in the innermost part of the medicine garden.

"Sixth Grandfather! Why aren't you refining alchemy today, and have time to fiddle with these spirit herbs?"

Sixth Grandfather glanced at him and said unhappily, "You kid, why aren't you at home accompanying your beautiful Dao companion, and instead come to find this old man?"

Lin Zhangqing said with a grin, "Of course, I came to see you, and by the way, I brought you something."
