Chapter 64: The Ultimate Spiritual Insect

So when all the clones were working in full swing in the medicine garden, Long Xuan started the great cause of liver spirit art.

The clone is sweating like rain in the field, he is doing Gan Ling Shu, the spiritual bees are busy in the medicine garden, he is doing Gan Ling Shu, letting the wind blow and rain.

Just like that, half a year passed by in a flash.

Long Xuan closed a book with three large characters written on the cover, Five Elements Palm, and saw a line of small characters written in the lower right corner of the cover:

—Long Xuan◎

This book called "Five Elements Palm" is a spiritual technique he created after half a year of hard work.

Long Xuan was excited and proud, with a sense of accomplishment and a slight smile on his lips.

With such an awesome spiritual art being born in his hands, he was proud and arrogant. At this time, he felt really high-spirited and about to swell.

What kind of spiritual magic makes him so proud?

"Five Elements Palm" is a palm technique he created based on the principle of the mutual generation and circulation of the five elements. It is divided into five styles.

First style: Flame Palm

The spiritual cycle route is earth → metal → water → wood → fire.

Second Form: Destroying Palm

The spiritual cycle route is fire→earth→metal→water→wood.

The third form: Wave Palm

The spiritual cycle route is wood→fire→earth→metal→water.

Fourth Form: Vajra Palm

The spiritual cycle route is water→wood→fire→earth→metal.

Fifth form: Tathagata Palm

The spiritual cycle route is metal → water → wood → fire → earth.

This first style of Flame Palm is the palm method that he planned to use to shoot out flames.

After starting with earth and progressing layer by layer, this flame palm is simply terrifying and boundless.

If other people's fire-attribute spiritual arts produce flames, then his Flame Palm produces a sea of ​​​​fire, a sea of ​​​​fire with great power and a very wide attack range.

Use a sea of ​​fire to attack in a wide area, making it impossible for the enemy to avoid it.

It can be said that his basic attack is the ultimate move of others.

Strong and unreasonable.

It is also a fire-type spiritual magic. His flame palm is enough to defeat most of the fire-type spiritual magic in this world.

Since the spiritual power cycle ends with fire to create Flame Palm, in the same way, if the other attributes end in it, it is natural to create spiritual arts with the other four attributes.

This requires him to think of four more ideas to come up with the remaining four movements of "Five Elements Palm".

This time it is a no-brainer. Since it is a matching spiritual technique, the attack method you come up with should be consistent with the characteristics of the mutated spiritual power.

Different from ordinary spiritual power, mutant spiritual power naturally has special features. Each mutant spiritual power is unique and has its own characteristics.

The characteristics of the mutated spiritual power in the "Ten Jue Jing" can be summarized in one word each.

Fire burns, wood grows, water is dense, metal is strong, and earth is heavy.

So when designing the remaining four postures, just focus on the four characters of "rebirth", "dense", "firm" and "heavy" to ensure that the fit is 100%.

For example, the characteristic of wood is life, and life is the power of growth. The first thing Long Xuan thought of was the ripening technique in the novel about cultivating immortals, a spiritual technique that can ripen elixirs. Unexpectedly, he was actually asked to study it successfully.

The Life-Destroying Palm has the effect of accelerating ripening elixir, but when it hits a person, it will have the opposite effect, destroying the person's vitality and causing irreversible damage.

So this move was named the Life-Destroying Palm by Long Xuan, rather than the Life-promoting Palm.

Moreover, although the ability of the Palm of Destruction to ripen the elixir is against the heavens, it will be limited by the realm.

The higher the realm, the more spiritual power, and the more years it takes to ripen.

If the realm is too low and the spiritual power is too little, the number of years for ripening will naturally be limited.

At this time, he was only in the spirit-gathering stage, and the mutated spiritual power was only in the primary stage of the fusion of the two attributes. The effect of ripening was naturally minimal. At most, it would last for ten days with just one palm. It was really useless in a short period of time. It is absolutely useless and far less practical than the other side of the Life-Destroying Palm.

As for the last three forms of "Five Elements Palm" - Jingtai Palm, Vajra Palm, and Tathagata Palm, what are these three palms?

Since he has already thought of a name, he naturally has an idea in mind and has already made a draft.

If the Flame Palm is a group attack, then the Tathagata Palm is a single attack, the Turbulent Wave Palm is a long-range attack, and the Vajra Palm is a close attack.

The abilities of these five movements in "Five Elements Palm" are very comprehensive.

However, the time is limited, and he is a little tired, so he can only stop updating the last three postures for a while...

Long Xuan took out a communication talisman from his storage bag. This was a communication talisman given to him by Li Laodao. The general meaning of it was that he was going to the Shiwan Mountain to hunt spiritual beasts and wanted to invite him to join a team.

In the past, he would have refused without even thinking about it. It was too dangerous to go to the wild and so on. He would not go anywhere. He would just stay in his comfortable nest.

But I’m afraid that won’t work this time. Recently, there have been signs of spiritual beasts gathering in Shiwanda Mountain, indicating the possibility of a beast tide.

So the nearby powerful people united and issued a statement asking all casual cultivators to go to Shiwanda Mountain to clean up the spiritual beasts to prevent a tide of beasts from forming and causing an impact on the village.

This is a mandatory order. When the beast tide comes, everyone is responsible and no one can stay away.

He had no choice but to go, so he had to interrupt his research on spiritual arts and prepare to take a trip to Shiwanda Mountain.

It happened that Li Laodao invited him to form a team at this time, and he agreed.

Speaking of it, he is also very interested in hunting spiritual beasts. Animals in previous lives would have parasites in their bodies, so it is logical that spiritual beasts in this world would also have parasites, right?

The spiritual beasts in this world can also give birth to insects, even the best spiritual insects, which is one of the sources of obtaining the best spiritual insects.

In this world, killing spiritual beasts is equivalent to exploding equipment, which will explode spiritual insects of various qualities, making countless casual cultivators flock to them, and slowly formed the profession of hunter, who make a living by hunting spiritual beasts.

Similar to playing games in the previous life to defeat monsters and explode equipment, the spirit insects that explode are all random, and whether you can get the best spirit insects depends entirely on your face.

Some people are dark-faced and will always explode high-quality spiritual insects. Some people are children of luck and will explode top-quality spiritual insects after killing the first spiritual beast.

As for which spirit beast has good bugs in its body, you can't tell at all. You can only hunt high-grade spirit beasts to increase the explosion rate.

Because spiritual beasts and humans have different growth systems, the various abilities of spiritual beasts are not acquired through acquired learning, but are inherited through blood.

The ancestors of the spirit beasts have copied all their abilities into their bloodline and passed them on from generation to generation, so that the spirit beasts do not need to spend time learning and can naturally master various powerful powers. Of course, it is impossible for the next generation of spiritual beasts to master all the abilities of the ancestral beasts. Otherwise, wouldn’t there be ancestral beasts everywhere?

For example, a powerful ancestral beast has 10,000 abilities. Then which ability its offspring will inherit is completely random. If you are unlucky, you will awaken a garbage ability and be at the bottom of the food chain. If you are lucky, you will awaken a heaven-defying ability and become the king of beasts. .

And as the bloodline of the ancestral beasts becomes thinner from generation to generation, the number of abilities awakened by the spirit beasts will become smaller and smaller, until now most spirit beasts only have one or a few abilities.

Those abilities that have not been awakened are called hidden abilities by humans. In fact, they have always been hidden in the bloodline of spiritual beasts and have not disappeared.

If a certain spiritual beast is gifted and exhibits atavism, those hidden abilities may still be awakened.

But the strange thing is that the parasites born in the bodies of spiritual beasts may carry the hidden abilities of spiritual beasts.

But the spirit beast is not a Gu cultivator, so it is impossible to borrow this kind of power.

Hence, what kind of spiritual insects a spiritual beast will have inside its body cannot be judged by the ability of the spiritual beast at all.

Maybe a garbage spirit beast that can only spit bubbles, but the spirit worms in its body can have the power to cause floods. It is like opening a blind box, with no rules and no way to judge.

Long Xuan is a complete exception. He can see the progress of the spirit insects in the spirit beasts. He can tell at a glance which spirit beast has the best spirit insects in its body. There is no need to open a blind box and gamble on luck like the others. He enters the spirit beast. The world of beasts is just like opening a navigation system.

So although this large-scale mission to hunt spiritual beasts involves certain dangers for him, is it not an opportunity?

Since the clone does not have a golden finger that can see the progress, he is not ready to let the clone go on his behalf. If he wants to drive a navigation system to find the best spiritual insects, he must be his own body.

Hundred Thousand Mountains are full of treasures for people like him. Finding the best spiritual insects here is not a possibility, but a certainty. His only concern is whether he is strong enough.

Hence, Long Xuan did not express much rejection of this mandatory mission. On the contrary, he was vaguely looking forward to it, as if a large number of top-quality spiritual insects were waving to him in front of him...

In fact, there is another type of parasite in spirit beasts. In addition to being born naturally, the spirit insects in spirit beasts may also come from the outside world.

When a spirit beast drinks water or passes by a bush, it is very likely that spirit insects born in nature will jump on it and then hide in its hair and become parasitic.

It must be fleas, lice, ticks...such spiritual insects.

There are many insects that are unique to this world, and even Long Xuan, an entomologist, has never seen them.

However, parasites that live on the surface of spirit beasts are easily discovered by sharp-eyed Gu cultivators. Once he forms a team with other Gu cultivators, such spiritual insects are not something he can easily make plans for.

His target is still the spirit worm naturally born in the body of the spirit beast. Even his teammates can't see it, so he has a lot of room for maneuver.

Long Xuan was very interested in this trip. After replying on the messenger talisman, he immediately packed up his things and headed to the place agreed by Li Laodao.

There was a reason, so he also asked Mr. Long for a leave before leaving, and stopped working in the medicine garden for a period of time.

Young Master Yaoyuan took care of him for a month and he would not die. Mr. Long agreed without thinking. He also knew that a beast tide might happen, so he did not ask any more questions and continued to study the prescription of Baihua Dan. Long Xuan I looked anxious.

How long has it been? He is almost tired of Baihuadan, but Elder Long hasn't researched it yet.

It is worth mentioning that in this beast tide cleanup task, the large Gu cultivators will not go out in full force, but a considerable number of people will stay behind.

After all, a wealthy family is not like a casual cultivator. The family has a big business and must leave a certain amount of strength to guard the family, and Mr. Long is one of the people who does not need to participate in this mission.

Don’t say anything unfair. This world has never been fair, and this is true for everything. Fairness is always only in the hands of the strong. The casual cultivators are weak and can only be manipulated by others.

The meeting place for Li Laodao was Qian's Inn in Fangshi. Long Xuan followed the guidance of the messenger and walked into one of the private rooms of the inn.

As soon as he entered the private room, he found that there were already many people in the private room. Obviously, Li Laodao invited far more people than him. Not surprisingly, these people were his teammates for the next trip.

There were three men and two women in the room. Needless to say, Li Laodao, whom he knew very well, there was also a little drug boy whose name he didn't know who often sold him rags, so he was considered a semi-acquaintance.

The other one was an old man who looked familiar to him. Long Xuan thought for a long time before he remembered that wasn't this the little old man who sold him the hive many years ago? He just had poor eyesight and sold him the high-grade spiritual bees as middle-grade spiritual bees.

I didn’t expect to see him again today after not seeing him for so many years, and coincidentally becoming teammates with him. It’s really unpredictable.

As for the other two women, because Long Xuan’s clone often visited the market and participated in various trade fairs, he also knew these two women.

One is an old woman named Han Mei, and the other is a middle-aged woman with ordinary appearance named Zhang Ling.

These five people are all at the peak of the Soul Gathering Stage, and are only one step away from the Marrow Cleansing Stage. They are considered to be the most powerful group of casual cultivators in the city during the Soul Gathering Stage.

The only one here, Long Xuan, is in the late stage of Gathering Spirits, which is considered to be holding the team back.

"Li Laodao, why did you find someone who is in the late stage of Gathering Spirits? Isn't this deliberately holding us back? I don't want to bring a drag bottle."

The old man with poor eyesight is indeed a man with poor eyesight. He didn't even recognize Long Xuan until now. When he saw that the person who came was of low level, he showed a slightly dissatisfied look.

Li Laodao immediately came over to smooth things over and said: "Mr. Ma, you have been away from Fangshi for so many years and you don't know. This kid's name is Long Xuan. Even though his level is low, his fighting ability is not low at all."

“It’s not convenient to disclose the details, but he definitely has the strength of the peak spirit gathering. Otherwise, why would I invite him over? What good will bringing a drag bottle do to me?”

“You can just be more careful. Even if he is not strong enough, there are still some powerful Gu around him. He cannot die easily. How can he hold us back?”

Hearing that the person who came was in the late stage of Juling but had the strength of the peak of Juling, Mr. Ma looked surprised and couldn't help but take a closer look at the face. After taking a closer look, he suddenly felt that the face looked familiar. I really want to see it somewhere.

After a long time, he finally came to his senses. Wasn't this the young man who bought his hive many years ago?

His eyes widened immediately. He found out that he had a blind eye shortly after he returned.

After all, no matter how high-grade honey changes, it is impossible to turn it into medium-grade honey. Since the top-grade honey is still in his hands, sooner or later the secret will be revealed.

When he thought that what he sold was actually a hive of high-grade spiritual bees, he was so angry that he slapped his legs and his intestines turned green.

As soon as he saw the rightful owner, his eyes suddenly widened and he yelled impolitely: "It's you, boy! You, a treacherous boy, have deceived me miserably. Are you going to return the high-grade spirit hive to me?"

Hearing this, Long Xuan showed a puzzled expression and asked confusedly: "Who are you? I don't know you, what a spirit hive, I don't know what you are talking about..."

"Hahaha..." Li Laodao patted him on the shoulder at this time and laughed: "Old friend, there have been rules in the city for many years. You can't look for trouble when you open your eyes. You have been out for so many years and you have even forgotten the rules?"

With that said, Li Laodao ignored him and walked up to Long Xuan and said, "Don't worry about him. There are rules in the market. You are so lucky. You can pick up high-grade spirit beehives at low prices."

“The market price of high-quality honey is not low. If your medicine garden is full of flowers, you can make a lot of money by selling honey.”

Li Laodao showed envy. At this moment, he was thinking about trading some top-grade honey with him when he came back. Top-grade honey is a good thing, but he didn't know what kind of top-grade spiritual bee could make Mr. Ma lose his temper. His eyes Turned around.

Long Xuan glanced at Mr. Ma who was looking at him fiercely, chose to ignore it, and started chatting with Li Laodao.

“Without further ado, I have never hunted in Shiwanda Mountain, and I have no idea about the conditions there. How dangerous is this hunting?” Long Xuan looked serious.

"Haha, don't worry, I guarantee that this trip to the Hundred Thousand Mountains will be 100% safe, and there won't be any accidents. Just be rest assured!" Li Laodao immediately patted his chest and assured, The tone is very confident.

"One hundred percent safe?" Long Xuan's voice was long and his eyebrows were raised. He always felt that this sentence seemed familiar. The last time Li Laodao invited him to the ancient tomb, he also said it was one hundred percent safe, right? But the result?

He was driven out by the big clan to be used as cannon fodder. A lot of the casual cultivators who went there died. Fortunately, he didn't go with him.

Surely what Li Laodao said is reliable?

"Are you sure it's true? You told me the same thing last time." Long Xuan couldn't help but ask, showing doubt.

Li Laodao immediately understood which time Long Xuan was referring to, so he blushed and said with a hint of embarrassment: "It was an accident last time. Don't worry, this time it's absolutely reliable, because I hired a big Let me fly..."
