Chapter 465: Wutong Divine Tree, Cosmic Willow
Lin Zhangqing, hearing her say she only wanted twenty-four Shock-Spirit Cicadas, couldn't help but laugh, and pulling her, said: "Just follow the quantity I said!
You also have to consider the molting problem; you also know their molting success rate, so a small quantity won't work!
Besides, I have also left some for the family, so you don't have to worry, and returning is a matter of ten years later.
Perhaps by then, they have already mated and produced a large pile of insect eggs!" Chen Zi Ya, hearing him use the word "mated," blushed a little, and didn't argue with Lin Zhangqing about the quantity anymore, but continued:
"We have discussed so much here, it seems the problem of subduing and contracting them! Hasn't been solved yet.
Everything is just our two people's wishful thinking here, or, have you already thought of a way and are confident in subduing them?"
Lin Zhangqing pondered for a moment and said: "I did have a vague idea in my heart just now, but I don't know if it will work? This will only be known in a few days!"
Chen Zi Ya asked curiously: "What idea do you have? Say it quickly and let me hear it; why keep me in suspense now!"
Lin Zhangqing laughed lightly: "Why are you so anxious? If I have any ideas, I will definitely tell you! My idea is, let's not feed them spirit liquid first, and just wear them out like this.
When they can't hold on anymore, then use high-grade spirit liquid to tempt them, and let these little guys voluntarily sign a contract with us.
Do you think there is any possibility of success with this idea of mine?"
Chen Zi Ya pondered for a moment and then said: "The idea is quite good, and spirit insects have simple minds without so many twists and turns.
Perhaps it will really succeed! But the problem is, do we have high-grade spirit liquid on us now?"
Regarding the problem of high-grade spirit liquid, Lin Zhangqing didn't reveal it casually; after all, the grade of the Hundred Flowers Drunken Soul Wine was too high, and he guessed that it might even have an effect on high-stage cultivators.
So when he needs to use it in the future, he should still find a way to cover it up; the fewer people who know about secrets, the better!
Lin Zhangqing said with a smile: "Regarding the source of high-grade spirit liquid, we can always find it; at worst, we can wait until the trial ends and find the Wanbao Pavilion to buy some at a high price!
In my opinion, this is not too big a problem; if we can't find it, just spend some spirit stones to buy it!"
Chen Zi Ya nodded; she was quite looking forward to it now, hoping that this method of Lin Zhangqing's could succeed, so that she would have one more means of protecting the Dao! Just like this, the two flew for another two hours; during this time, they also encountered two or three waves of demonic beasts.
However, they were all relatively small in scale, basically two or three second-stage demonic beasts, wandering around with a few first-stage ones; one look and you knew it was a family.
However, encountering Lin Zhangqing could be considered their bad luck; basically, there was no possibility of escape! Even encountering this situation didn't require them to take much action; Lin Zhangqing moved his mind, and the purple crystal scorpions basically solved them all.
The rest only needed to be responsible for cleaning the battlefield and collecting demonic cores and spoils of war!
And halfway through, they encountered cultivators from other sects twice, but as soon as they saw that Lin Zhangqing was two people, they didn't dare to approach at all and ran away in a puff of smoke! The reaction was rapid, not giving others a chance to chase at all; of course, if Lin Zhangqing wanted to move against them, he still had ways, but he wasn't a murderous person.
So those people who were encountered ran away, and Lin Zhangqing didn't pay attention to them, just treating it as if he hadn't seen them, as long as they didn't come over to seek death themselves! When the sky was about to turn dark, Lin Zhangqing found a hidden place as the campsite for the night.
Chen Zi Ya set up second-stage hidden and defensive arrays, while the purple crystal scorpions in Lin Zhangqing's hands were responsible for the more peripheral defense and warning tasks.
After dealing with everything outside and activating the array, the two drilled inside.
Subsequently, they first took out the second-stage demonic beast corpses encountered along the way and dealt with them.
Plus the Green-Eyed Golden Ape family encountered earlier, they harvested twenty-two demonic cores today, as well as a pile of second-stage spirit materials.
After collecting everything by category, they took out the huge jade-ified wood heart from the spirit beast bracelet.
The weight was truly not light; if Lin Zhangqing hadn't entered the body refining stage, it wouldn't have been so easy for him to collect it.
The two felt the powerful spiritual pressure emitted by the high-grade spirit object at close range, and Chen Zi Ya couldn't help but say: "I don't know what kind of spirit wood this is, to be able to grow so huge! It wouldn't be the legendary Wutong Divine Tree, or the Cosmic Willow, would it!"
Lin Zhangqing, upon hearing this, thought for a moment and said: "I think it shouldn't be! The Wutong Divine Tree is legendary to be wood-fire attribute, which is why the Phoenix clan likes to build nests on Wutong trees and often stays on them.
And this jade-ified wood heart of ours is clearly pure wood attribute, and I didn't feel any fire attribute, so it shouldn't be the Wutong Divine Tree! As for the Cosmic Willow, I think that's even more impossible, because if it were the legendary Cosmic Willow!
It should be more than a hundred times, or even a thousand times larger than that tree stump, otherwise it wouldn't be worthy of the two words 'Cosmic', so the two kinds guessed should not be it!"
Saying it like that, it was mainly because Lin Zhangqing had the good fortune to have seen the mother tree of the Void Cosmic Willow, which was truly unimaginably huge.
At that time, seeing it, he was so shocked that even his thinking stopped, his mind went blank, and he didn't know how long it took before he reacted; that was the true Cosmic Divine Wood.
Therefore, in his mind, anything that could be associated with the two words "Cosmic" should at least be one percent the size of the mother tree of the Void Cosmic Willow!
If it didn't have one percent, it should at least have one thousandth, otherwise it would truly insult the two words "Cosmic"! So subconsciously, he felt that the tree stump definitely wasn't the stump of the Cosmic Willow.
Chen Zi Ya shook her head and sighed: "The types of spirit objects in the cultivation world are truly countless! This thing definitely won't be one of the three great divine woods; I don't know what kind of spirit wood it will be!"
Lin Zhangqing couldn't help but reach out and stroke the wood heart, and said a bit uncertainly: "I do have a little speculation; this is very likely a mutated Green Spirit Wood, or Nine Heavens Wood!
But no matter what it was originally, it doesn't affect the preciousness of this section of jade-ified wood heart!"
As soon as Lin Zhangqing finished speaking, both of them couldn't help but laugh!
Indeed, the two of them actually didn't care what kind of spirit wood this section of jade-ified wood heart was originally; they only needed to know that this precious thing belonged to them! (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 466 =====
He decided to simply stay here and refine the five storage bags, three spirit beast bags, and one second-stage spirit beast bracelet from those two unlucky fellows of the Spirit-Controlling Sect, to see what was inside.
