Seeing the expanding small world, Xu Chunniang finally realized that Xiao Walnut had probably obtained the undersea spiritual vein.
That's why such big changes can happen in a small world.
Although Xu Chunniang took a closer look and discovered that the spiritual veins obtained by Xiao Walnut were incomplete, this was purely an unexpected surprise.
When she first saw the small walnut falling into the belly of the fish, she thought it had also been swallowed by the big fish, and she never thought about the spiritual veins.
But now it seems that Little Walnut is really powerful. Under the nose of Yuanying Demon, he snatched away most of the spiritual veins, and even got into the belly of the fish in time, saving her, Little Orange, and Xiaobai.
Although she was now in the belly of the big fish and almost turned into a meal, Xu Chunniang felt that she had made a profit now that she was temporarily out of danger and had harvested most of her spiritual veins!
After all, that is most of the spiritual vein, and this spiritual vein is in the deep sea, has never been developed, and is of extremely high quality.
If Xu Chunniang has enough cultivation and is willing to establish a sect, she can even establish a small sect in the Qianluo world with most of her spiritual veins.
Just thinking about it made her blood boil and felt unreal.
If she had known in advance that there was a Nascent Soul Demon under that spiritual vein, she would not have provoked it like this.
But the fact is that she didn't know it earlier. Not only did she provoke him, Xiao Walnut also successfully stole Yuan Ying Daxiu's spiritual veins. It's incredible to think about it.
But after the spiritual veins were absorbed by Little Walnut, they merged into this small world and turned into a huge spiritual stone mountain range.
Because of the addition of this spiritual vein, the small world has directly expanded five to six times, and is still expanding outwards.
Correspondingly, the spiritual energy in the spiritual veins is diminishing to a terrifying degree under the expansion of the small world.
It wasn't until the spiritual energy in this spiritual vein was only one-tenth of its original size that the small world slowly stopped expanding and became completely stable.
After this process was completed, the scope of the small world expanded tenfold.
If the small world before was like a small village, then it is now as big as a small town.
Although the expansion of the small world has caused a lot of spiritual energy loss in the spirit stone veins, as long as the mineral veins are still there, the spiritual energy can be slowly raised back and condense into many spiritual stones.
Moreover, the previous small world was too small, and the concentration of spiritual energy had reached its limit. If it did not expand, it would not even be able to accommodate most of the spiritual veins.
After the little world settled down, Little Orange and Xiao Bai happily ran towards the spiritual veins, chose a place with the strongest spiritual energy, and dug a hole with their claws. It looked like they planned to settle there.
Xu Chunniang took one look and then withdrew her gaze. The harvest was huge, but she did not forget that the entire walnut world was still trapped in the belly of that big fish.
It was indeed safe to hide in the small world, but she couldn't stay here all her life without going out.
Although the small world is good, the outside world is the real thing.
We must find a way to confirm the situation outside.
It's just that the small world and the outside world are like two worlds. Here, the spiritual consciousness cannot detect the movements of the outside world at all.
If you go out rashly, it seems to be a bit risky.
After all, the little walnut was most likely soaked in the acid in the belly of that big fish.
As soon as she goes out, she will be corroded and disintegrated by the acid.
The acid was extremely strong, and she would never dare to risk it.
Xu Chunniang frowned and thought hard, then suddenly remembered something and walked towards a place where she used to store sundries.
Most of these sundries she got from other monks.
In addition to some things that she found useful, and materials that were difficult to get rid of and could not be used, there were more things that were of little value but were unfortunately discarded without time to deal with them.
Xu Chunniang remembered that she once killed a monk who was guarding insects. There was a pile of unhatched insect eggs in the monk's spirit beast bag.
Moreover, his storage ring seems to contain related insect control techniques.
Perhaps, she can find a way to drive these insects to detect danger for her.
Xu Chunniang searched according to her memory, and sure enough she found the spirit beast bag, and even the insect control technique that the monk had learned.
However, before studying this jade slip and learning the art of controlling insects, she planned to open a cave in her spiritual veins.
When you are in a place with abundant spiritual energy, your body will automatically absorb spiritual energy even if you are not exercising your cultivation.
When you practice, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
It was okay if she didn't have a spiritual vein before, but now that she has it, she naturally has to make good use of it.
After spending a few days to carve out a simple shelter on the main line, Xu Chunniang took out the jade slip and studied it carefully.
About two months later, Xu Chunniang read through all the contents on the jade slip and took out the insect eggs in the spirit beast bag.
According to what was recorded in the jade slip, she cut her finger and forced out the sperm and blood, which dripped into the insect eggs.
The black insect eggs were stained with blood and looked a bit strange. However, in less than half a breath, all the blood seeped into them.
She could feel that she had established some kind of connection with these insect eggs.
It's just that this connection is too weak, and I'm afraid it won't last long before it disappears.
It should be because she was fed too little essence and blood.
Without hesitation, Xu Chunniang once again forced out more blood essence and dripped it on the insect eggs.
The black eggs silently absorbed the blood, and she could feel that the connection with them was constantly deepening.
After all the blood was sucked out, the black eggs significantly increased in size, but they looked far from hatching.
Xu Chunniang put away the black insect eggs. She got to know many insects through the jade slips, and knew that the black insect eggs were the eggs of the Cryptopterygoid, which were of the second-grade top grade.
These eggs are not easily hatched casually. It can take as little as three to five years to successfully hatch the cryptopterous insects, and as long as ten to eight years.
The specific situation depends on the vitality of the eggs, the cultivation level of the person they feed, the purity of the blood essence, etc.
In short, hatching cryptopterous insects cannot be accomplished in a short time.
After Xu Chunniang finished feeding these insect eggs, she continued to practice.
Compared with Chengchong, insect eggs are very weak. In addition to taking careful care of them, they should not be fed too much essence and blood.
Time passed by quietly, and every once in a while, Xu Chunniang would carefully feed the cryptid eggs with essence and blood to strengthen the connection with them.
The rest of her time was spent practicing and studying formations. She would occasionally check on the conditions of the spiritual fields and use the newly collected spiritual rice to make wine.
The second-level spiritual field is filled with red pearl rice, the raw material for brewing red wine.
As the best of the second-grade spiritual rice, red pearl rice is extremely rich in spiritual energy, but its output is really pitiful.
Moreover, red pearl rice grows very slowly and matures only once a year.
------Digression-----
The reality is that the cryptids are poisonous, very poisonous. If you see it, don’t touch it with your hands!
