"That's right, I just want to take some of your blood and feed it to the insects. Don't get it wrong."
"Your statement really makes people more scared."
"Then calm down."
"Were you the ones who made those cuts on my legs?"
"You have a special constitution and recover very quickly. I give you the best pills every day. This bit of bleeding is nothing to you."
"..."
After Jiang Xiangwen woke up, he finally began to slowly regain his memory.
Memories from the past few months suddenly flooded into my mind.
The injury was obviously mostly healed, but his face suddenly turned very pale and he was still frightened. It seemed that the events during this period had left a big shadow on him.
"Did you save me?" Jiang Xiangwen asked.
"And you almost killed me."
"I do not understand."
"I am a disciple of the Qingyun Sect, but I am not powerful enough to ignore the seven major families, so you almost killed both of us."
Jiang Xiangwen realized a little later, maybe it really hurt his brain.
His reaction was a little slow, but at least he responded.
If Lin Xi had not knocked him out but allowed him to continue to accuse the seven major families, maybe the two of them would have died in the mine.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel scared.
Finally met the savior, but almost died again.
Jiang Xiangwen got up with some difficulty: "Thank you, senior, for saving me."
Although he looks much older than Lin Xi.
But Lin Xi is a foundation-building monk.
And before he was deposed, he was just a casual cultivator at the eighth level of Qi refining.
There is nothing wrong with this senior.
"You're welcome. Let me lend you some blood first. My little darlings can't wait any longer." Lin Xi said this.
After saying that, Lin Xi opened Jiang Xiangwen's leg again and took away some blood.
Jiang Xiangwen could only endure the discomfort and let Lin Xi do this.
Lin Xi turned her head and happily dropped the blood on the spirit stone, and then threw it to the black worms that had just evolved. The black worms excitedly pounced on the spirit stone and started to feast on it.
The ferocious mouthparts can easily bite the spiritual stone and swallow it.
The black worm made a low sound of joy and contentment.
There were black insect stumps all over the ground, and several large insects were gnawing on the blood-stained spirit stones, while Lin Xi stared at them intently. This scene made people feel weird no matter how they looked at it.
Jiang Xiangwen couldn't help but shuddered when he saw this scene.
I won't just come out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's den again.
Could this young-looking senior be the kind of vicious monk who feeds poisonous insects with his flesh and blood?
Although insect control is a normal method of fighting, some monks specialize in raising some insidious poisonous insects that require flesh and blood as nutrients, which is very creepy.
The more normal ones use monster flesh and blood, and the more extreme ones use human flesh and blood, which is basically the same as evil cultivators.
Lin Xi didn't care what Jiang Xiangwen thought.
He carefully inspected the status of the newborn black worms.
The other black worms failed to evolve and all died. Only eight black worms survived. They were three to four times larger, their shells were black-gold and several times harder.
Most importantly, they have evolved more terrifying mouthparts that can easily crush any hard object.
Give them time, and they can even chew up the body-protecting aura of the foundation-building monks.
Of course just bite it into pieces.
You must know that they can only be regarded as first-level monsters, but have the strength of the fourth and fifth levels of Qi refining.
"Keep it well, maybe there will be some new surprises in the future." Lin Xi found a basic method of controlling insects from past trophies.
It's nothing unique, it just teaches you how to make a contract with spiritual insects and how to control them.
There is no way to breed spiritual insects.
Because each type of spiritual insect has different cultivation methods.
Lin Xi pinched out a few contract spells, then bit her fingertips, and blood flowed out and dripped onto the eight black worms.
The bodies of the eight black worms shone slightly, and special textures emerged, forming a strange miniature array. This was the spirit-controlling contract.
They accepted the contract without any resistance.
If you refuse, the power of the contract should be directly broken.
It can be seen that as the food and clothing parent of these insects, Lin Xi has successfully won the trust of these eight insects.
very nice.
After putting the black worm into the spirit ring, Lin Xi turned to look at Jiang Xiangwen: "Now tell me what happened to you."
Seeing Lin Xi become serious, Jiang Xiangwen breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, bugs are still scary in most situations.
Jiang Xiangwen quickly told Lin Xi what happened to him.
"Sure enough, it's pretty much what I thought." Lin Xi said thoughtfully.
During the great chaos, the seven major families had conflicts with several major chambers of commerce.
Because they were worried that the Qingyun Sect would be punished, the seven major families had no choice but to start the work on their own. People from the seven major families worked together to develop the spiritual mines, but they could barely guarantee some mining volume.
But in the process, something must have happened that made the seven major families greedy for profit and attempted to swallow the spiritual stones belonging to the Qingyun Sect.
Then after the chaos, the seven major families negotiated with several major chambers of commerce to come up with a lie to the outside world. In fact, secretly, the seven major families had been secretly recruiting casual cultivators for mining.
The stakes are so high that these casual cultivators will naturally have no way to survive.
As the casual cultivators killed batch after batch, naturally there were fewer casual cultivators to recruit.
This is why when Lin Xi came to Chang's house, the house slave who was responsible for guarding the door tempted Lin Xi and wanted to "arrange" a good job for him.
The first few Qingyun Sect disciples who came here to investigate the situation probably didn't investigate carefully, and they received some "meeting gifts", so they just blamed the problem on a few major chambers of commerce.
So Qingyun Sect never found anything wrong.
Until Lin Xi came.
"It's strange. I haven't been tempted to manage the spiritual mine for so many years. Why am I tempted now? And the seven major families are betraying together?" Lin Xi was a little confused about this.
Jiang Xiangwen said weakly: "I may have guessed some reasons."
"what reason?"
"I discovered one thing when I was digging the spirit mines. I felt that the output rate of spirit crystals was a little too high. At the beginning, everyone could dig out two or three spirit crystals a day on average."
Lin Xi was stunned after hearing this: "Are you sure?"
Jiang Xiangwen nodded: "I'm sure, but the output of spiritual crystals has become less and less."
"That's no wonder." Lin Xi let out a long breath.
Spiritual crystals are extremely precious and must be the purest and most pure spiritual energy in order to be able to condense them.
In a normal spiritual mine, if you can dig out one spiritual crystal in a day, it is already very good.
But at the Hengyueling Mine, each person can dig out two or three pieces every day, which directly increases the output by hundreds of times.
Obviously, a small spiritual crystal mine was probably born under this spiritual mine.
It's not a spiritual stone mine.
It's a spiritual crystal mine.
Although I don’t know how much the seven major families dug out or whether they have dug out all of them, there is no doubt about one thing.
The current seven major families are probably not as rich as the country.
The human heart is the least able thing to withstand the test.
Facing a spiritual mine, the seven major families can still maintain their loyalty to the Qingyun Sect and supervise each other.
