Chapter 203
This is a rare spirit insect—Jin Huan Bee.
"Qianji Fang" has a description of the Jin Huan Bee: it has spirituality, its tail needles and bee wings can be used to refine tools, and honey has spiritual power, which can increase cultivation if eaten often. But its nature is quite domineering. When the bee colony moves, ordinary early-stage Qi Refinement cultivators cannot easily provoke it, otherwise there is a worry of life and death.
Susu also mentioned that the spirit beast major sect Weiyu Xianghe Sect raised this kind of spirit bee, but it is very rare in ordinary mountains, and I didn't expect to meet it here.
Liu Xiaolou immediately stepped forward and disrupted the Miao people's sacrifice. He just showed two hands, and the Miao people were shocked and didn't dare to act rashly. After talking to the Miao leader for a few words, he got the picking rights of the Jin Huan Bee.
These Miao people all came from a Miao village a few miles away. A few months ago, this nest of Jin Huan Bees suddenly appeared here. The Miao people didn't know it and were stung to death. So they gathered and prepared to eradicate this tumor. Now that there is this immortal master Liu taking action, they don't have to risk the danger of losing the young and strong, and the Miao people are naturally very welcome, and Liu Xiaolou is happy to pick up a big bargain.
Climbing to the cliff, the Three Mystical Sword came out. The sword light, which had already been practiced to a foot long, flashed cold light around the beehive, cutting the Jin Huan Bees into two sections one by one. The sword light was still as soft as willow branches, but Liu Xiaolou had long adapted to it and created a combat method suitable for it. The sword light moved strangely and unpredictably, but it was extremely precise, which was just right for dealing with these Jin Huan Bees.
The beehive was obviously still in the growth stage, and there were not many adult Jin Huan Bees in it, only seven or eight. The adult Jin Huan Bees had already formed their wild nature and could not be raised. Before long, they were all killed by Liu Xiaolou. Only the queen bee and the young bee pupae remained in the beehive. Liu Xiaolou carefully picked it and leaped down from the cliff.
Asking the Miao people for a sheepskin ball, he put the beehive into it, tied the mouth, and poked some dense holes in the skin ball to breathe. Liu Xiaolou threw it into the basket, feeling inexplicably happy.
This thing is not easy to see. I didn't expect to meet it in this trip to the south. It is really lucky to the extreme. After returning to Dry Bamboo Ridge, find a suitable place to hang it and raise it. There will be good honey to eat in the future.
It's just that he only heard Susu talk about the method of raising spirit insects in the Su family, but he didn't understand it very well. If he wants to raise it well, it has to be Susu. Back then, Susu was doing this in the back mountain of Mount Shenwu.
Liu Xiaolou suddenly missed Susu a little.
The dead adult bees shouldn't be wasted either. He picked them up one by one, pulled out the wings and tail needles, and collected them. These are rare good materials for refining array plates.
After refusing the Miao people's invitation to a banquet, Liu Xiaolou left the mountain, which the Miao people called Dehang, amidst the Miao drums and continued to go south.
Meeting miasma and picking the Jin Huan Bee hive was already lucky to explode. The subsequent journey became plain. After that, he entered Western Hunan, passed by Jinping Mountain, which he had attacked back then. Liu Xiaolou looked down from the North Cliff where the heroes gathered back then, and saw that Jinping Mountain Villa had long recovered its vitality, a scene of prosperity.
Liu Xiaolou sighed for a long time, and didn't know why Boss Wang had disappeared. The heroes of Wulong Mountain hadn't received a hero post for several years, and they really missed it.
After walking for another day, he left Western Hunan and stepped on the land of Lingnan. It was also on this day that Liu Xiaolou took a detour to the west, walked more than ten miles, and found Xiushan in the heavy mountains.
The mountain scenery of Xiushan is not outstanding, at most it is just beautiful. But the Jingzhen female immortal who occupies Xiushan has some reputation. This female immortal is in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and her cultivation is not bad. She is good at refining tools, especially specializing in refining cicada wing armor.
This kind of cicada wing armor is mainly made of the wings of the seven-winged golden cicada, a specialty of Xiushan. It is thin and tough, worn inside the underwear, not only comfortable, but also has the effect of boosting body method and strengthening protection. It is quite popular among female cultivators of various sects in the world, and a set of cicada wing armor can be sold for twenty or thirty spirit stones.
The Jingzhen female immortal didn't toss any sect, just simply accepted a few female disciples, taught them the way of cultivation, and raised cicadas and flowers with them to refine wing armor.
Xiushan is not big, just an isolated mountain head of several dozen feet. Liu Xiaolou circled around the foot of the mountain, but it was only two miles away. He found the mountain gate at the foot of the mountain in the due east direction.
From here, he went up the steps, circled a few turns, and saw a dense bamboo coconut forest, each of which was as thick as a person's embrace. From time to time, you can see a few golden cicadas crawling on the tree trunks, emitting golden light like starlight under the sun.
Liu Xiaolou was shocked by this magical scene, didn't dare to breathe, for fear of disturbing these little creatures emitting golden light, and carefully walked towards the depths of the forest.
Suddenly, he saw a young female cultivator stepping out of the depths of the forest with thin mist, carrying a bamboo basket on her arm. With a light wave of her plain hands, golden cicadas flew into her palm. She skillfully picked off a wing on the back of the golden cicada and sent them back to the tree.
This female cultivator had bright eyes and white teeth, and her appearance was somewhat familiar. Between the flow of her eyes, she moved from the golden cicadas on the tree to Liu Xiaolou, blinked, and was stunned.
Looking at each other, after a while, Liu Xiaolou tried to open his mouth: "A-Zhen?"
It was indeed A-Zhen. She stepped forward a few steps, stood in front of Liu Xiaolou, her eyes full of surprise, covering her mouth and couldn't believe it: "Brother Xiaolou."
It's really eighteen changes in eighteen years. A-Zhen in front of her is completely different from the little girl who jumped up and down and combed her hair in her memory five years ago. Liu Xiaolou smiled bitterly: "Still good, still good..."
A-Zhen asked: "What is still good?"
Liu Xiaolou said: "Still good that I came now. If it were two years later, I'm afraid I wouldn't recognize you. A-Zhen, you have grown up."
A-Zhen nodded: "Hmm, five years have passed." She paused and said: "Brother Xiaolou has also grown up. I heard from Grandpa that Brother Xiaolou became a son-in-law of the Su family of Mount Shenwu... How was it in the Su family? Why did you think of coming to see me?"
Liu Xiaolou smiled: "I was divorced by the Su family, it was at the beginning of the year, hehe, I have already returned to Wulong Mountain. This time I plan to go south to do something, and passed by to see you... By the way, Uncle Tian pickled some big-headed vegetables for you..." He took out a small jar from the basket and handed it over.
A-Zhen opened the jar lid, leaned over and took a deep breath, full of intoxication.
"What stage has A-Zhen cultivated to now?"
"Stage 3, preparing to impact Stage 4 in a few months."
"Still good, still good..."
"And how is it good again?"
"A-Zhen, your progress is very fast. It's still good that I came to see you now. If it were two years later, I'm afraid you would have surpassed me. How can I see you then?"
After chatting for a few more words, the distance between the two narrowed, and they slowly found back some feelings from their youth, becoming familiar again.
Liu Xiaolou asked about her cultivation and life situation on Xiushan. A-Zhen was more concerned about how Liu Xiaolou was divorced. Liu Xiaolou told some interesting stories, making A-Zhen giggle. The two also talked about the great battle last year. A-Zhen was glad that Liu Xiaolou didn't participate in the battle, and felt sad for the death of so many seniors in Wulong Mountain.
Just chatting like this, chatting blindly without purpose for more than an hour, seeing the sun setting, they said goodbye.
Continuing south from Xiushan, the weather became hotter and hotter. Liu Xiaolou had to reverse his true qi, only then did he feel cold, with clear breeze in his sleeves.
After walking for two days, a market appeared ahead, three times more lively than Tianmen Market. But Liu Xiaolou's attention was not on the market, but on the high mountain behind the market.
One of the ten famous cave heavens in the world, Mount Luo Fu.
