Chapter 147： inner door task

But now Zhang Shiping has no way to stop this kind of mutation that has already occurred. This is where many monks who raise spirit insects feel helpless. For the current plan, Zhang Shiping can only know if the phantom poison of the phantom locust egg liquid is still effective by raising the seven phantom locusts until they lay eggs.

He has only accumulated a little bit of topaz ointment made from egg liquid in the past three years. If it becomes invalid after mutating, unless Zhang Shiping spends Lingshi to buy insect eggs, otherwise the topaz ointment will be gone after use up. This is not what he wants See the results.

Zhang Shiping waved his sleeves and put the phantom locusts that had already eaten into the beast-controlling bag. He buzzed a few times, and after a while, the blood moon scorpion spiders scattered all over the cave crawled out one after another, leaving only a dozen or so. That's all, they gathered about ten feet in front of Zhang Shiping, but no matter how Zhang Shiping manipulated them, they never came close, and there was a feeling of fear. Zhang Shiping touched his mustache, and a phantom locust appeared in his hand, and more than a dozen blood moon scorpion spiders on the ground "squeaked" and made a commotion. Under Zhang Shiping's strong pressure, they did not scatter and escape.

Zhang Shiping had never seen this kind of situation when he was in the Bing Lingshi mine. At that time, the blood moon scorpion spider and the unmutated phantom locust were not far away, and the blood moon scorpion spider was not so afraid. Zhang Shiping put away the phantom locust with his backhand, and the blood moon scorpion spider on the ground stabilized again. With the bottom of his heart in mind, Zhang Shiping raised phantom locusts in the cave, waiting for them to lay eggs.

Zhang Shiping chose another stone room, took out eight formation flags, and placed them in every corner of the stone room, forming a barrier that enveloped the entire stone room, which was much better than the formation he had originally arranged. Zhang Shiping did this to prevent the Phantom Locust from escaping from the insect room again. After arranging the worm room, Zhang Shiping collected the trapped earth formations, and set up the Five Elements Absolute God formations inside and outside the cave. Fifteen formation plates of various colors and forty-nine formation flags were integrated into various places in the cave. He pressed on the five-color formation disk, and blue light gushed out, covering Zhang Shiping's cave, which covers an area of ​​more than ten mu.

Of course, apart from raising phantom locusts, his practice has not stopped. After months and years, when he was bored and bored, Zhang Shiping went to the preaching mountain to teach the disciples in the Qi refining period, teaching spells or some simple alchemy methods.

These small tasks are added up, and after the Zongmen merit points are reached, Zhang Shiping will save the Zongmen tasks that he must take every year.

…

A year and a half later, Zhang Shiping was in the worm room of the cave, watching the phantom locust whose carapace had turned red and was eating the blood moon scorpion spider. During this period of time, Zhang Shiping waited for the phantom locust to lay eggs, took the egg liquid, and found that the effect of the phantom poison in it had not changed much, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.

The eating habits of these mutated phantom locusts have changed. They are no longer keen on spirit grass, and instead feed on other insects, especially strange insects like scorpions and spiders. However, during this period of time, Zhang Shiping also found many different kinds of scorpion-like spiders to feed them, but he found that the only one that could make the carapaces of these phantom locusts more bright red was the blood moon scorpion spider.

Every time the scorpion-like spider-like strange insects were caught and fed, when they saw the phantom locust, they would have a natural fear of a mouse seeing a cat. Seeing this situation, Zhang Shiping deliberately went to the shop in Fangshi to buy more than a dozen low-grade and middle-grade first-grade spiders, and even two top-grade scorpion-like spiders. Strange insects have a natural sense of fear when they see the Phantom Locust, only the two black-armored scorpions, which are much higher than the Phantom Phantom Locust, are dancing with their large pincers and tail hooks, and when they rushed up, they caught the Phantom Phantom The locusts started to eat.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Shiping was a little surprised, and then nodded. The mutated Phantom Locust can only restrain the scorpion-like spider-like insects to a certain extent, but when the opponent's strength is far superior, this situation does not As expected.

After Zhang Shiping waited for the two black-armored scorpions to finish eating the phantom locusts caught in the pincers, seeing that they were still not satisfied, he immediately stretched out his five fingers into claws, performed the fire crow art, and used the fire crow cover to capture the two first-rank top-grade black-armored scorpions. Trapped, took out the worm room, chose another stone room, set up a formation and closed it first. The usage of this fire crow cover is a little skill discovered by Zhang Shiping in the past year and a half.

During this period of time, Zhang Shiping went to buy another three bottles of Jinyang Xuechan Pill, and nearly a thousand spirit stones were thrown out at once, making his spirit stones much less visible to the naked eye. There are ten pills in a bottle of Jinyang Snow Toad Pill. After Zhang Shiping took it, he could quickly refine the potency of the medicine with the help of the bronze lamp and reduce the poison. The time for taking one pill every ten days was abruptly shortened to two days. It's useless to say that he took thirty pills and took them all in just ninety days.

Originally, it would be enough for 60 days, but Zhang Shiping did not have the medicinal power of Jinyang Xuechan Pill after refining, so he took the next one immediately, but set aside a day to check his body , to see if erysipelas will hide in those tiny meridians in the body.

And when the third bottle of Jinyang Xuechan Pill was finished, Zhang Shiping stopped buying from the sect. Relying on the elixir, Zhang Shiping's own mana really developed rapidly. The speed of cultivation is not slow, and with the help of elixirs, the mana increases significantly every day.

If Zhang Shiping gritted his teeth again, he could buy a few more bottles of Jinyang Xuechan Pill, but ever since his mana grew and he was approaching the fourth floor of Foundation Establishment, he clearly felt the so-called bottleneck. It's a very mysterious feeling, the bottleneck is invisible and qualityless, just like the spiritual root, so many high-level monks in the world of cultivating immortals Many of them have studied bottlenecks, spiritual roots... these things. For these, there is no definitive conclusion in the world of cultivating immortals. Even the ancestors of Yuanying have different understandings, and no one can convince the other.

As for the slow growth of his own mana, Zhang Shiping knew that he wanted to solve it. There were only a few ways. Peaceful approach. Of course, there are also elixirs. If you have been taking Jinyang Xuechan Dan to speed up the refining of mana, you can shorten this time, but the best elixirs are those that help monks break through.

Zhang Shiping didn't go out to look for it directly, and he quietly cultivated in the cave for several months. , until he felt that the mana in his dantian, even if he had run the Fire Crow Art all day long, did not increase at all, he could only refine the mana he had previously refined, and then he walked out of the quiet room of retreat.

As soon as he stepped out of the cave, he found that the stars outside the sky had faded. Looking at the blue sky and the few remaining stars, Zhang Shiping knew the approximate time, and it turned out to be the beginning of autumn.

Zhang Shiping walked along the stone road in Dongfu, walking among the mountains, the wind blowing the leaves, the sound of insects and springs, he went all the way up, and when he reached the top of the mountain, the round of golden sun was already above the mountains in the east. The mountain wind blew the skirt of his clothes, when Zhang Shiping was sitting on the top of the rock and looking out, the token of the inner disciple in his arms was slightly warm.

He immediately took it out, and with a look of consciousness, his eyes darkened a bit, and he sat on the rock and thought about the task information that was just transmitted from the token of the inner disciple. After the sun was too high in the sky for a while, he took out the ancient Qingling boat, stepped on the boat and rode away with the wind.
