Chapter 240

Leaving a petal for the old monk, Liang Qu took the "Ear Consciousness Method" and the remaining twenty-nine "Lotus Leaves" back to the quiet room and lit the gold-bright oil lamp.

There are more and more things to learn.

Currently, he has two cultivation techniques and three martial arts, plus the "Ear Consciousness Method," making it four.

"Wan Sheng Holding the Origin" is for stabilizing the spirit, internal vision, and preserving the spirit; it has four layers of steel refinement, but only reaches the second layer of internal vision.

The "Dragon-Subduing and Tiger-Taming Diamond Sutra" has initially condensed the Dragon-Tiger Golden Body, and the subsequent realms are all present.

The Thunder Character Seal technique has not yet condensed the Lei Fu; it will likely take another two days.

The Green Dragon Seven-Kill Spear is only at the minor completion stage for the first two strikes.

The Falling Star Arrow is at minor completion, while the Moon-Sun Arrow is indefinitely distant.

However, the profound iron great bow captured from the Whale Gang leader Liu Jie is now easy to draw and release.

It is comprehensive—long-range, close combat, and cultivation techniques are all good, but the depth is insufficient.

It is not that the Mirage Insect is ineffective, but that Liang Qu is not working hard enough.

For a cultivation technique, especially from the middle grade upwards, reaching the great completion realm is inherently difficult; ordinary people have to spend three to five years to reach great completion.

Ultimately, Liang Qu's cultivation time is too short, and his speed is too fast; he has not had time to settle.

Ordinary people face a bottleneck every three years and a major bottleneck every five years; outside of normal times, they are all in bottleneck periods, so they naturally have time to practice martial arts and have plenty of time to bring a technique to the level of perfection.

Liang Qu's cultivation is different from others; it keeps rising, so his "spare time" is relatively scarce, and even using the Mirage Insect for "make-up classes" is still not enough.

What should be done if there is no bottleneck?

Fortunately, he has a big tree to lean on, and his martial arts are of a high level, so he won't face the dilemma of being unable to keep up with his realm after practicing them well.

The content of the "Ear Consciousness Method" is much less than that of the Thunder Character Seal technique.

Liang Qu memorized the entire manuscript, took a booklet out of the drawer, ground the ink, and transcribed it once.

After confirming there were no errors, he saw that the west wing still had candlelight, so while returning the manuscript, Liang Qu took a detour to the pond.

At the end of June, the fireflies had not yet become adults, the crickets had not hatched, and only a few frog calls remained in the pond.

Four beavers were lying in the unroofed wooden house, each with its own sleeping posture, and the two smaller ones had half their bodies soaked in the water to dissipate heat.

In the pond, the Mirage Insect crawled along the water waves to the shore.

Liang Qu picked up the Mirage Insect and entered the room; he didn't let it spray mist, but instead communicated with the Inside Ze Ding in his sea of consciousness.

【Ding Master: Liang Qu】

【Refined Ze Ling: Ze Rong (Green) (Fusion Degree: 37.1%)】

【Water Ze Essence: 1,342 points】

【Can consume 1,234 points of Water Ze Essence to make the Mirage Insect grow.】

The Mirage Insect had only evolved once before, and the next evolution would require 1,500 points of Water Ze Essence.

It was just that at the time, Liang Qu needed to save essence to break through to the Galloping Horse realm; 1,500 was not a small amount, and he had no surplus, so he naturally couldn't do it.

Now, after saving for half a month, he had over 1,300 points, and with the Mirage Insect eating some treasure fish scraps every day, it was enough for it to evolve once to see if there were any changes.

A thought moved.

Over 1,200 points of Water Ze Essence in the Inside Ze Ding turned into a trickling stream, pouring into the Mirage Insect's body and blooming with brilliance.

The light cocoon wrapping the Mirage Insect gradually elongated, and the fat Mirage Insect began to develop longitudinally, visible to the naked eye.

More strands of light gathered at the Mirage Insect's head, deforming and elongating.

This is...

Is it growing horns?

It looked like the appearance during the previous evolution, with light also gathering on its head.

After a few breaths, the light cocoon shattered suddenly.

The Mirage Insect's posture had changed drastically!

Its nearly spherical body had completely disappeared, turning into something like a caterpillar; although fat, it was now long and thin.

The most peculiar thing was the Mirage Insect's head.

It didn't grow horns; the entire head was covered with a layer of jade-like milky bone, glowing with a soft, fatty luster like Hetian jade under the candlelight.

At the end of the face mask, a total of four long, narrow bone tentacles extended backward, with the two on top being long and the two on the sides being short.

It suddenly became spirited.

Looking further up, it wouldn't still be a Mirage Insect, would it?

The Inside Ze Ding cast out brilliance.

【Can consume 8,000 points of Water Ze Essence to evolve, making the Mirage Insect grow.】

Liang Qu was stunned.

After the second evolution, it still showed that the Mirage Insect could grow rather than evolve!

It's the only Bada Beast that won't evolve, right?

The Mirage Insect rolled on the ground; it was very satisfied with its new image, feeling that it was becoming increasingly powerful.

When asked if it had gained any peculiar abilities.

None.

Liang Qu was helpless and could only check if the white smoke effect had been strengthened.

The Mirage Insect came to the bedside, heaved its abdomen, and sprayed a puff of white smoke.

The white smoke drifted slowly, and pavilions and towers emerged, with the great sun in the sky and flying cranes circling.

Liang Qu, who was about to fall asleep, swept a glance and firmly remembered it in his mind.

In the forest, Liang Qu sat up and meditated for a while.

The pavilions and towers in the white mist became clearer.

Although the white mist scene sprayed by the Mirage Insect originally had pavilions and towers, it was very blurry, and most of the buildings only revealed half, with the rest hidden in the clouds and mist.

Now, not only were they all revealed, but there were also flying cranes hovering low and the great sun in the sky, becoming increasingly realistic.

This place, it wouldn't actually exist, would it?

A trace of an unrealistic thought arose in Liang Qu, but he immediately dismissed it.

Whether it exists or not, he has no way to verify it, and it only increases his worries.

If it really exists, he has no way to go there now, so he might as well practice honestly.

Thunder rolled in the sky.

Liang Qu observed the thunder and condensed the Lei Fu.

Outside.

The Mirage Insect turned around, crawled onto the ice platform by itself, and its whole body cooled down, instantly clearing away the hot night wind.

It curled up comfortably and fell into a deep sleep.

No one saw that on the bed, a silver-bright long talisman was slowly condensing on the back of Liang Qu's right hand.

July 1st, the sunlight was scorching.

Liang Qu woke up from his sleep, the back of his head feeling heavy and quite sleepy.

Yesterday, observing the thunder in his dream, condensing the Lei Fu went exceptionally smoothly, almost in one go in the dream.

So much so that he didn't wake up in time and spent the whole night practicing in the dream created by the Mirage Insect.

The progress was much faster than imagined; he had succeeded twice in the dream, so it would definitely be faster in reality!

Too busy to sleep and rest, Liang Qu got up and rushed to the quiet room, suddenly feeling a slight abnormality in his hand.

After the "Wan Sheng Holding the Origin" entered the entry level of stabilizing the spirit, he could autonomously operate the technique.

However, when his Qi and blood flowed through his right hand today, it took a path different from usual, which was more complex.

Liang Qu raised his hand and stimulated his Qi and blood; a complex talisman glowing with silver light flowed and appeared, looking like both a talisman and a character, completely symmetrical on the left and right.

Lei Fu!?

Liang Qu looked at his palm and the back of his hand back and forth, confirming that the talisman appearing on the back of his hand was indeed the Lei Fu he had practiced in his dream!

What's the situation?

Dream feedback to reality?

Liang Qu looked at the Mirage Insect, his eyes flickering, and after thinking for a long time, he overturned his own idea.

It shouldn't be that powerful.

The Mirage Insect's second evolution barely entered the Galloping Horse ranks; if it could really turn the virtual into reality, it would be too heaven-defying.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a supreme treasure, and the toad would never exchange it easily.

It's more like... sleepwalking?

Liang Qu thought of a word.

In the end, the appearance of the Lei Fu did not involve external objects, but his visualization, stimulated and manifested by a peculiar technique path.

It is also a mental activity; if the thinking in the dream is successful, it is not impossible for it to feed back to reality.

Just like someone sleepwalking, noticing in the dream that they are constantly moving, they are also changing their own position in reality.

Is this good or bad?

Liang Qu was a little worried; if he practices spear techniques in his dreams from now on, won't he also practice them in reality?

The flow rates of the two worlds are not the same, right?
