Chapter 464: The reason why insect cultivators are rare

So he collected all the stone skin that had been dug out and backfilled it into the deep pit they had just dug.

However, clearly, these things couldn't fill the deep pit, so Lin Zhangqing added some sand and soil.

And planted some weeds and vines, and used the Nourishing Origin Catalysis Technique to disguise them, making them look relatively lush and natural.

To cover up the traces of their digging; doing this step was about enough, and no one should pay attention to a pile of weeds and vines, right! That way, no one would discover the secret of this tree stump; the two checked the peach forest again.

After erasing all the traces they had left and confirming there were no problems, the two drove the spirit boat and left! Unexpectedly, just encountering a group of Green-Eyed Golden Apes had delayed them for so long; fortunately, the harvest was truly quite good.

The two continued to set off toward the direction of the sacrificial array, and Chuyi was still above their heads, providing them with early warnings.

On the spirit boat, the two snuggled together, and Chen Zi Ya was happily sharing her harvest this time with Lin Zhangqing.

"Green Brother! This time in the peach forest, I collected about thirty or forty jin of Monkey Wine; when we cultivate tonight, we can take some and try the effect! By the way, I also found more than three hundred mature first-stage spirit peaches in the peach forest.

It's a pity that those second-stage spirit peaches were either eaten by them or thrown in as materials for brewing wine; I didn't find a single one, which is truly a pity!

However, the first-stage spirit peaches also look quite good; do you want to try the taste?" Chen Zi Ya said proudly.

Lin Zhangqing, hearing her say this, said with a smile: "Thirty or forty jin of second-stage spirit wine is enough for you to cultivate for a long time!

Tonight we will try it and see if the effect is as good as the vermilion fruit wine!

As for the first-stage spirit peaches, I do have some ideas; you take a few out first, and I will experiment to see if there are any surprises!"

Chen Zi Ya, upon hearing this, immediately took out five first-stage spirit peaches from the storage bag and handed them to Lin Zhangqing.

After he took them, he first removed the pits, and then used the Spirit Controlling Technique to crush them all into a pulp, and separated a large mass of peach juice.

Then he received it into the small space where the Shock-Spirit Cicadas were in the spirit beast bracelet; unexpectedly, as soon as this mass of peach juice entered.

All the Shock-Spirit Cicadas in the space boiled over; in the blink of an eye, the front, back, top, bottom, left, and right of that mass of peach juice were covered with Shock-Spirit Cicadas.

And very quickly, they eliminated that mass of peach juice, but only a relatively small portion of second-stage Shock-Spirit Cicadas managed to grab the peach juice.

Most of the remaining ones could only rush around anxiously on the outside, but they were a step too slow and couldn't squeeze in, so they could only be anxious.

These Shock-Spirit Cicadas hadn't eaten for four days, and Lin Zhangqing looked at their appearance; they were still full of vitality, so starving for a few more days shouldn't be a big problem.

So after experimenting that they also ate peach juice, he already had a vague idea in his heart, it was just not too mature for the time being and needed careful deliberation! And Chen Zi Ya, at this time, also reacted, knowing that the peach juice Lin Zhangqing made was definitely used to feed the Shock-Spirit Cicadas, which was also a problem she was very concerned about.

So she couldn't help but ask: "Green Brother! How is it? Do the little guys eat the peach juice?"

Lin Zhangqing nodded and said proudly: "Eat! Of course they eat it, and they fight very fiercely! In just this short while, the peach juice has already been eaten up; they look just like a group of starving ghosts!"

Chen Zi Ya, hearing that they had already eaten up that mass of peach juice, said happily: "Then in the future, will we use this method to feed them! It looks like these little guys aren't too hard to raise!"

Lin Zhangqing shook his head and sighed: "The problem is not as simple as you think!"

The peach juice made from the five first-stage spirit peaches was only eaten by about forty or fifty Shock-Spirit Cicadas, and there was a great possibility that they weren't full yet! Then if they wanted to feed all of them, four hundred and eighty Shock-Spirit Cicadas, it would need about sixty or seventy first-stage spirit peaches; this consumption was not small!

You can calculate it roughly yourself; if we calculate each first-stage spirit peach as worth eight low-grade spirit stones,

Then feeding them once would cost about five hundred low-grade spirit stones, and I don't know how many times they need to be fed each month.

However, according to my speculation, five to six times a month is definitely the minimum; if it's less than that, it might affect their growth potential! Calculating it this way, each month might need at least three thousand spirit stones, and one year would be thirty or forty thousand.

Maybe one or two years wouldn't be a problem, but what if this time period is lengthened to ten, twenty, or even one or two hundred years?

For ordinary cultivators, that is simply a very huge figure, so this is the reason why insect cultivators are very rare in the cultivation world!

Because overall, the cost of feeding them is truly too high; if you don't have a strong family background, you can't play with this! Therefore, my suggestion is, don't raise too many, just feed them a small amount.

And try your best to provide them with sufficient resources to give them enough growth potential; I suspect that the reason why they are so difficult to succeed every time they molt!

Might be related to the quality of the spirit liquid they ingest; this cannot be verified now, so I can only keep it in my heart first, and we will observe slowly in the future!"

Chen Zi Ya nodded after hearing this; she felt that what Lin Zhangqing said made a lot of sense, and most importantly, she wouldn't go out to venture often.

Raising too many was useless; having a small group for self-protection was enough; having too many was also not a small burden for her!

Thus, she asked: "Green Brother! Then how many do you think I should raise?"

After saying that, she looked at Lin Zhangqing with expectation.

He considered it for a moment and said: "If it's according to my idea, I think let's raise forty-eight first! By then, I will give you twelve second-stage ones and thirty-six first-stage ones!

With them and the protection of the purple crystal scorpions, I believe no one of the same stage can easily approach and hurt you!"

Chen Zi Ya, upon hearing this, thought for a moment and said: "It feels a bit too many; why don't you give me twenty-four! Half first-stage and half second-stage will be fine!

And there are so many people at home, you should also leave some for them.

Most importantly, yourself; if you want to go out and venture, you must retain a sufficient quantity to have enough power!"
