Since the seventh senior sister and senior brother left, Xu Chen rarely came to the medicine garden. The thirteenth senior sister Zhao Xuan was also preparing to start building the foundation, and also rarely came to the medicine garden.
Fortunately, the two golden toads fell into a deep sleep after taking a Taiyuan Soul-Enhancing Pill, which made Xu Chen less worried.
The two golden toads lay among the vine branches and leaves under the Resurrection Tree all day long, huddled together motionless. Xu Chen was a little worried at first, but after checking a few times, he found that the aura of the two golden toads was slowly increasing, even on the skin.
The colors also become more vivid.
This gave him a lot of surprises while he was busy.
In other words, with the help of the Taiyuan Soul Entering Pill, the blood of the two golden toads seems to be slowly strengthening. When they wake up from their dormancy, the medicinal properties will probably be stronger.
The little fox likes the smell of the medicine garden very much. Except for going back to sleep with Xu Chen at night, it almost stays in the medicine garden during the day. Of course, it also has the task of helping to take care of the two golden toads, and takes care of the two golden toads every day.
The two golden toads looked at each other with a fixed look, which made Xu Chen feel quite relaxed.
On this day, Xu Chen finished refining several furnaces of Qi Gathering Pills from the Danyuan, and came back with a smell of Dan dust and fireworks. When he was leaving in front of the hut, he thought that he hadn't taken a good look at the medicine garden in a few days, so he flew his sword
He turned around and landed in the medicine garden.
"Ouch~"
Xiaobai happily ran out of the medicine garden, surrounded his feet and shouted excitedly, biting his Taoist robe and pulling towards the position of the Resurrection Wood.
"Okay, okay, I know you take good care of the two golden toads, this is your reward!"
Xu Chen smiled and bent down to touch Xiaobai's soft fur, and then threw a Taiyuan Soul-Enhancing Pill.
Xiaobai jumped up and swallowed the elixir in one gulp, then continued dragging him away with a whimpering sound. So Xu Chen curiously followed him to the resurrecting tree and found that the two golden toads had already woken up.
"Gugua~"
Seeing Xu Chen, the two golden toads screamed excitedly and crawled out together.
Xu Chen was pleasantly surprised and a little strange, because today he felt that the color of the two golden toads seemed to suddenly become more moist, as if they had changed a new layer of skin. His heart moved, and his consciousness penetrated into the densely packed grape leaves.
During the visit, I discovered that where the two golden toads were lying on their nests, there were actually two more golden toad sloughs.
"Here I go, I actually shed my skin!"
Xu Chen was overjoyed and quickly opened the green grape leaves with purple stripes and grabbed two toad sloughs.
It was wet and soft, it must have been taken off not long ago, and it still exuded a faint spiritual light.
The toad slough looks very complete overall, but the color on the four legs is not golden, but with red and green patterns.
But when he compared the two golden toads after molting, he found that all four legs seemed to have turned golden.
Xu Chen became even more happy now.
In other words, the Taiyuan Soul-Enhancing Pill has indeed caused a great mutation in the two golden toads that have begun to degenerate, and have begun to evolve into the real seven-star golden toad.
"Gugua~Gugua~"
Two golden toads crawled in front of Xu Chen and made a deafening cry.
Xu Chen took out the jade bottle and threw out two Taiyuan soul-entering pills. Two long tongue shadows flashed past, and the two spiritual pills disappeared in the blink of an eye.
However, after eating the elixir, the two golden toads did not seem to be satisfied, nor did they look like they were taking a nap after eating. They seemed to be more impatient, and they still stared at him with wide eyes and made croaking sounds.
Xu Chen hesitated and put away the jade bottle and stood up.
In the Golden Toad Palace of Yuqing Palace, the old Taoist priest responsible for cultivating golden toads said that although golden toads need to be fed special elixirs daily to maintain their spirituality, their staple food is still spiritual insects and specially prepared food.
Xu Chen was a little depressed. The magic pill was easy to find. He could now make seven or eight furnaces in a day, enough to hold two golden toads to death. However, food with spiritual energy was difficult to find. It had to be at the level of monsters.
Although there are many venomous snakes and venomous insects with spiritual energy in the southern border, it is not easy to search for them every day, and it will be a huge burden in the long run.
Moreover, the sun has already set at this time, so it is not convenient to look for it. After all, snakes and insects hibernate deep in the soil of tree holes at night, so it is still unknown whether they can be found.
Just when he looked up at the sky, Xiaobai scurried into the colorful plants, and soon came out with a big fleshy insect about the size of a thumb in his mouth, covered with interlaced green and red patterns.
"What is this?"
Seeing the big insect still struggling stubbornly in Xiaobai's mouth, Xu Chen was shocked.
"Ouch~" Xiaobai threw the bug on the ground, and the two golden toads pounced on it at the same time. Two big tongues wrapped around one end of the bug and started to pull. Soon, the big bug was pulled into two pieces, and the two golden toads
Each toad swallowed half of it, then licked his mouth with an unfinished expression, and looked at Xiaobai expectantly.
"Woah~ woah~" Xiaobai jumped up and kept shouting towards the place where he just came out.
Xu Chen let go of his consciousness and enveloped the entire medicinal garden, but found nothing. Just when he was wondering where Xiaobai had caught the bug, his consciousness suddenly stagnated slightly, and instantly focused on a plant that looked like rice.
On the leaves, a look of extreme shock appeared on his face.
A big, fat insect that was almost exactly the same as Xiaobai had caught just now was lying on the leaf. A hole the size of a palm had been chewed out of the leaf. Although it was not too big compared with the huge leaf, he was shocked.
shocked.
Because in his consciousness, he couldn't feel the existence of this insect, but he could really see it. What made him even more strange was that this insect, like these colorful and strange plants, was completely different from this world.
The thing cannot feel the slightest aura, but there is still faint aura flowing inside the body.
After he saw the bug clearly, he carefully searched the area with his spiritual consciousness, which shocked him even more, because there were quite a few of these bugs, found on almost every rice-like plant, and they gnawed many holes in the leaves.
Not to mention, there is even one spinning silk and cocoon at the root of a certain leaf.
Xu Chen took three steps at a time and dove into the thicket of plants that were already as tall as a person, and soon reached the side of the cocooned insect.
This one is somewhat different from other bugs. It is slightly larger in size, has a red and purple head, and is covered in dark blue fine lines that look like scales. It looks very weird.
At this time, the big insect's head was swinging back and forth, spitting out purple filaments and wrapping its body in them.
Xu Chen's consciousness fell on the insects and filaments, and the expression on his face gradually became more surprised.
This filament carries a strange spiritual energy fluctuation, and there is a cyan spiritual light flickering inside.
According to his understanding of various spiritual materials and spiritual objects, this filament is probably not lower than the second-level spiritual material.
In other words, these invisible insects are not only pests that destroy these plants, but they are also high-level spiritual insects, and the silk they spin out is also a good spiritual material.
There are many bugs that spin silk in nature, but there are very few spiritual bugs, especially those that can spin silk. As far as Xu Chen knows, the only thing he has seen that can spin silk is the giant spider soul beast, but that is not mortal.
It is the original product of the earth, but comes from the netherworld.
Of course, in the spiritual object information compiled by the fairy world and some spiritual object lists, there are still spiritual insects and monsters such as ice silkworms, fire silkworms and blood poisonous poisonous spiders. However, the living environment of these insects is very dangerous, and they are all highly poisonous things.
, just heard, not seen at all.
These very rare worm silks are of high value and are very good for making robes or flexible magic weapons. They are also very popular among female cultivators. For example, some female cultivators like to use these filaments to weave them into cloth and refine them into clothing for personal wear.
Or jewelry.
It's just that there are very few in existence, so it's very difficult to get one together. A monk who isn't powerful and wealthy can't afford it at all.
Xu Chen was a little confused for a moment.
He had always wanted to grow these strange plants and see what they were.
However, the appearance of these insects has greatly threatened the growth of plants.
If the little fox hadn't caught a bug today, he wouldn't have noticed this change for a long time.
But if these insects spin enough silk, they may be collected into a good robe in the future.
However, these are obviously pests. If they are allowed to continue to thrive, it is estimated that these rice-like plants will be scourge in a short time.
what to do?
Xu Chen thought about it and decided that it would be better to focus on plants now, so he searched for a while and caught two more bugs to feed to the Seven-Star Golden Toad. However, he kept the big bug that was spinning silk and cocoon specially.
Come down.
He also wanted to see what weird thing the insect would turn into when it came out of its cocoon.
According to the common sense of nature, it must be a flying scale insect such as a moth or butterfly.
Since the creation of the world, countless species have been born one after another. Except for innate species such as gods and demons, the other acquired species of flesh and blood all belong to the insect species, including five species: worms, scales, hairs, feathers, and insects.
Since an earworm refers to a naked, hairless, armored, and featherless creature, a human being is the head of an earworm.
Scale insects refer to scales, including snakes, lizards, moths, butterflies and other scaly lepidopterans, and dragons are the leader of scale insects.
The remaining categories are respectively furry beasts, feathered birds, and armored birds.
There is no distinction between high and low blood among the five insects. Each has its own strong and tyrannical species, and they can all give birth to strong men who can travel around the world.
For example, the legendary Four Sacred Beasts, Green Dragon, Suzaku, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise, are scale insects, feather insects, caterpillars, and insects respectively. Compared with humans, who are known as the leaders of all spirits, they are more powerful and have the ability to suppress by nature.
The momentum of heaven and earth.
Of course, the insects eating the medicine garden in front of us are definitely far from the height of the legendary holy beasts, but like these plants, they must come from an unknown world, perhaps from the legendary cave heavens above the nine heavens.
The species is certainly worthy of Xu Chen’s careful observation.
The sudden appearance of these spiritual insects in the medicine garden also allowed Xu Chen to suddenly solve a big problem, that is, it seemed that he no longer had to worry about the food of the Seven-Star Golden Toad for the time being.
