The spiritual insect Qin Sang is looking for is called a stink bug. It looks similar to a mortal stink bug. It likes a dark and damp environment and sucks the yin energy day and night, hence its name.
After leaving the Xiongshan area, Qin Sang disguised his identity, visited several markets, contacted some forces, collected information, and finally selected nine types of spiritual insects as his targets.
Among them, there were five strange insects on the strange insect list. Some of them Qin Sang knew how to cultivate, and some did not.
However, Qin Sang has red fire gilded gold in his hand, so at least he doesn't have to worry about it until the third transformation. The abilities of these strange insects are very strange and very tempting.
There are also four kinds of ordinary spirit insects. Their potential is not high, but their magical powers are powerful and can provide a lot of help during the pill formation stage. They are Qin Sang's second best choice in case of emergencies.
The rumors and records he collected may not be reliable.
It is possible that spiritual insects may have migrated, encountered natural enemies, been caught, or even transformed and left their habitat.
Qin Sang felt that it would be good to find one of the nine types of spiritual insects he selected.
He has high requirements and is ready to spend time and energy looking for insects.
The oyster bug is one of the six species of strange insects.
The stinkbug is highly regarded on the strange insect list.
In the first two transformations, the abilities of the Oyster Bug are mediocre, as is the case with most spiritual insects. Only in the third transformation, or even later, will earth-shaking changes occur.
After the third transformation, the yin energy in the body can be transformed into a black sword, which is extremely fast and sharper than a real magical sword. Moreover, when the yin is not activated, the sword cannot feel the slightest breath.
If you don’t move, you will be dead; if you move, you will be as powerful as thunder!
The insect-controlling monk gets a three-transformation bug, which is equivalent to an extremely sharp dark sword. It does not consume the monk's own spiritual consciousness, making it difficult to guard against.
Qin Sang liked it very much.
So his first target is the oyster bug.
However, the stink bug is ranked lower than the ghost-headed wasp on the witch insect list. It is at the bottom of the witch insect list and no one dares to choose it as the natal insect voodoo.
This is because it is extremely difficult for the oyster bug to transform, has a long lifespan and slow growth. If the method is not followed, a monk in the alchemy stage will not be able to wait for the oyster bug to start its third transformation in his lifetime.
Qin Sang mastered several methods of cultivating strange insects, one of which was the oyster bug.
The Yuling Sect found an incomplete method of cultivating oyster bugs from the classics left by ancient monks. It requires the preparation of several cold elixirs. When used together, the oyster bugs will grow several times faster.
A monk once saw a two-transformation bug in this wasteland, but before he could react, the bug escaped into the cave and disappeared.
Qin Sang only had this piece of news. If he wanted to catch the bugs, he had to find the cave first.
"We've searched most of the wasteland, but why haven't we found the cave yet? Could it be that there was an earthquake here and the terrain changed?"
Qin Sang secretly relied on it, glanced across the vast wasteland, and decided to change the direction.
Before taking two steps, Qin Sang let out a light sigh and suddenly stopped. Then with a flick of his sword, he leaped thousands of feet to the left, hung in the air, and looked down.
"found it!"
The grass spread, completely covering the entrance to the cave. Qin Sang was about to use his sword to break through, but after thinking about it, he put away the ebony sword and quietly escaped into the cave.
The cave was extremely deep, and Qin Sang fell for a long time before he saw an underground rift. The underground was extremely cold, and it was indeed the favorite environment of the bug.
However, after seeing the underground rift valley, Qin Sang started to have a headache again.
I didn't expect the area to be so large, with countless branches, and more complex than the sinkholes in Shaohua Mountain. Looking for a tiny bug in a place like this is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
It's a pity that Feitian Yaksha can't leave him too far, otherwise it would be more efficient to search separately.
Mingji likes the darkness and coldness, and the stronger he becomes, the more powerful he becomes. Qin Sang decided to go directly into the deepest part of the cave.
He summoned Feitian Yaksha and dived quickly. The bottom became increasingly cold and eerie. Feeling that it was almost done, Qin Sang took out some bottles and jars from Qianjun Ring, which contained powder or potion, and sprinkled them from time to time along the way.
These are all secret medicines used to attract insects. Some of them were bought by Qin Sang from the Wu Clan monks, and some of them were refined by him based on the Yuling Sect's formula, and he prepared a lot of them.
This method is useful for some spirit insects.
Qin Sang wasn't sure if he could lure the bugs, so he gave it a try.
The coldness became more and more terrifying, threatening to invade the bone marrow. Qin Sang was forced to activate his True Essence Bodyguard, and after diving for some distance, he heard the sound of gurgling water coming from below.
Qin Sang was secretly surprised. When he went down and took a look, he realized that the Yin Qi mixed into the underground river and turned into gray river water, so it would not freeze.
Standing by the dark river, Qin Sang raised his head and looked up.
Along the way, he threw out more than a dozen bottles of secret insect-attracting medicine, but not a single spiritual insect came.
This is also a good thing.
Except for special circumstances, each spirit insect has its own territory and does not allow other spirit insects to invade. If other spirit insects appear, it means that the bug is no longer there.
Qin Sang observed the underground environment and began to search along the underground river. His consciousness combined with the secret insect-attracting medicine, and he paid no attention to every corner.
The cave was like a huge maze. Qin Sang searched for it all day but found nothing.
Finally, Qin Sang gave up and returned to the starting point.
Qin Sang came to a protruding rock by the dark river. After carefully looking at the nearby terrain, with a thought, Feitian Yaksha jumped into the dark river and lurked at the bottom of the river.
Then, Qin Sang took out a jade bottle from Qianjun Ring.
The jade bottle contains a red-red liquid, which is extremely viscous, like a ruby, shining with an intoxicating luster. Inside the liquid, there is a golden glow from time to time, which is strange and unusual.
This is the red gold vine fruit, red fire gilded!
Spiritual insects in the Lesser Cold Region are hard to find. Qin Sang has had no use for them since he obtained the red fire gilding. They have been stored until now, and now it is finally time to put them into use.
The reason why Qin Sang dared to go deep into Western Xinjiang to search for insects by relying on the information about the wind and shadows was because of this thing.
Red fire gilding can help spiritual insects metamorphose and is extremely attractive to spiritual insects. It is more effective than any insect-attracting secret medicine. This is an advantage that others do not have.
Those secret insect traps were useless, so Qin Sang could only use red fire gilding.
It doesn't take much, just spread out the breath of red fire and gilding.
At the same time, Qin Sang opened the insect basket on his waist and took out a few larvae of the horned wasp.
The larvae of other spiritual insects are also excellent lures, especially the larvae after bloodline mutation, which are even more tempting. Combining the two, Qin Sang did not believe that the oyster bug could remain indifferent.
Now, Qin Sang has no interest in cultivating blood-winged ghost-headed wasps.
Without the potential for transformation, no matter how many blood-winged ghost-headed wasps there are, they can only threaten the monks in the foundation building stage.
Qin Sang mobilized her true energy to catch the Blood-Winged Ghost-headed Wasp larvae, erase their consciousness, then opened the jade bottle, carefully drew out a trace of red fire gilding, and applied it to their bodies.
He first knocked a few of them away, leaving the one with the most paint on it and placed it on the stone platform.
