This is Lou Xiaoyi's real purpose of breaking into the depths of the Gobi.
He has been worried about how he can continue his practice when the white sand insect cannot satisfy his need for spiritual power.
In a world of low-level cultivation, with few sects and numerous casual cultivators, who are mutually exclusive, how can an older young man like him achieve his wish?
Go ask for help? Ask other old casual cultivators in Pucheng? These people can't even take care of themselves, how can they help him? If it causes other troubles, such as doubting how he entered the practice, it will be even more troublesome!
He must be careful, because he is not alone in this world, there are two elders who care about him.
And he can't lose his dignity. He's a poor loser and has a bad habit. He would rather starve to death than ask for help!
But after a few months of going to the Gobi to catch white sand worms, and chatting with the sand people, he learned the fact that there were powerful bugs deep in the Gobi, with red lines on their abdomens, and they would sting people and kill them immediately!
After being confirmed by many people, Lou Xiaoyi started to think. It was obvious that this kind of bug with red lines was an evolved and upgraded version of the ordinary white sandworm. The reason why it stings and kills people is not because of the toxins.
, it must be the effect caused by excessive spiritual power instantly passing through the human body.
The ultimate goal of this effect is to help humans transform their body functions. The prerequisite is that you must survive the initial period of attack. Considering that he himself was bloated when he was first stung with the help of the Zhongxing Qi Jue.
Like a ball, one can imagine the plight of ordinary mortals. This is not poison, but it is better than poison. Who can tell the reason clearly?
This gave Lou Xiaoyi a new hope for his own practice. If the white sandworm with a red thread on its belly has much higher spiritual power than the ordinary white sandworm, he can continue his practice by catching more red threadworms.
The question is, how many people know this secret? Is it just him? Or does everyone know it?
He prefers the latter.
There is no reason to prove that practitioners in this world can be stupid enough to live with white sandworms for thousands of years without knowing their functions!
His only chance is that the practitioners may not have discovered the fatal attraction of the incense to the white sandworm for a while? So it is difficult to catch it!
This time will not be too long. When new things like dolphin incense are completely popularized in various countries, the Gobi Desert will no longer be as desolate as it is now. Human beings focus on short-term profits and want to kill everyone. If this day comes,
, the white sand worm will become extinct in this Gobi sooner or later!
As a pioneer, all he can do is feed himself first, instead of thinking about the fate of the white sand worm like an environmentalist, which is not what he should consider.
Lou Xiaoyi carefully observed the action pattern of this red-threaded white sandworm, and soon discovered that this thing was as stupid as the ordinary white sandworm, but it was much more domineering in its instinctive behavior!
I don’t know what method it used, whether it was smell, sound waves, or touch. The other white sand worms were driven away after a short period of feeding, and only this one was left to linger here.
This was an opportunity. Lou Xiaoyi did not hesitate and stretched out his hand towards the red worm. As expected, the red worm leaped up from its body and released the spiritual thorn from its tail, which pierced into his arm.
Instantly, the feeling of first contact with white sandworms a few months ago spread throughout the body, the same feeling of weakness, swelling, and numbness, as if there were thousands of small bugs crawling in the meridians.
Sit on the ground and perform the exercises, absorb and guide the spiritual energy diffused in the body, and put it to use.
Half an hour passed, and Lou Xiaoyi, who was feeling refreshed, sighed with satisfaction. Judging from the total amount of spiritual energy, the total amount of spiritual energy of the red thread worm was dozens of times that of the ordinary white sand worm. Such a huge gap suited him very well.
This means that if he comes to the Gobi once, it will provide him with spiritual resources for a long time. Otherwise, like ordinary white sandworms, he will have to move his family to the Gobi.
On the second day, I finished my practice at Maoshi and continued to the depths of the Gobi. The probability of red worms appearing in this place is still very low, so it is impossible to capture them in large numbers.
In the next three days, the probability of the appearance of red-threaded white sandworms continued to increase. A small drop of dolphin incense could attract single-digit numbers of red-threaded white sandworms. Lou Xiaoyi absorbed them very much, but he did not catch them.
He knew very well in his heart that he should not be too ostentatious before he was completely sure whether this place was safe; his strength was limited, his fighting power was limited, and his knowledge of the world of cultivation was limited. It would be very embarrassing if he revealed his special skills so easily.
reason.
In the world of cultivation, there are countless small-space objects that can be used to store things. Whether it's a bag or a ring to store things or a marsupial ring to raise spirits, he doesn't have any of them. He has no place to buy them and no money to buy them.
All his belongings were on two sand camels, and there were a lot of bottles and cans, which were piled up like two big hills. There was no secret in this situation that could not be hidden from anyone. Even if he was escaping, these things
Everything has to be thrown to others, so don't rush to start.
On the evening of the third day, he practiced as usual during the You hour, and then he exercised his body. When the energy and blood in his body became active, he found a place that he thought was suitable and started digging a hole. Usually he only dug a hole three feet long and poured incense on it, but
Today was different. I dug three feet without stopping, then dug another three feet, mumbling,
"Grandma, where have they all gone? Isn't it said that little insects are more active at night than during the day?"
He muttered in his mouth and kept shoveling the sand in his hand. After seven or eight feet of digging, the sand at the entrance of the pit began to collapse. When he could no longer continue to dig, a sigh came from the edge of the pit.
"You won't find white sandworms if you dig like this! But if you dig a grave for yourself, I won't stop you. That's fine, even the coffin will be saved!"
Lou Xiaoyi raised his head in astonishment. There were two middle-aged Taoists standing at the edge of the pit. One was tall and the other was short. They had ordinary faces, but their eyes were as bright as torches, which revealed something unusual.
So Qi Qi Ai Ai said, "I'm just looking for water..."
The other short man laughed and scolded: "You need a hammer of water! There are countless water bladders on your two-humped sand camel, which is enough for just a bath! Do you think you can't trust the Taoist master? Are you on guard?"
I struggled to pull my feet out of the soil and sand, and climbed up the pit wall. The pit was not too short for a person, and the sand and gravel on the side of the pit were not stressed, so the climb was very awkward. The taller man gave me a hand.
Then he pulled him up,
The tall Taoist teased: "I see there are more than ten porcelain bottles on your sand camel. Congratulations, little brother. Is this a sign of a good harvest?"
Lou Xiaoyi was not embarrassed after being exposed. He laughed and said: "It's not open yet! But it will be soon. When we reach the depths of the Gobi, these bottles may not be enough!"
