Chapter 897 Evolution of Soul Devouring Fire Gu

He Qiu's lips moved, and he actually told Xiao Lin through the art of sound transmission.

After listening to it, Xiao Lin showed a hesitant expression on his face. After thinking for a moment, he made a move that surprised He Qiu. Xiao Lin returned the incomplete map in his hand to him.

"I will allow Xiao to consider this matter. Elder He, please wait for my news?"

He Qiu heard this, and a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes, but he couldn't say anything. He could only reluctantly bow to Xiao Lin and leave.

Looking at He Qiu's leaving back, Xiao Lin's face suddenly darkened.

After returning to the cave, Xiao Lin planned to continue meditating and practicing, but his face was stunned, but he did not get up, but came to the reception room and waited quietly.

After a while, a middle-aged man in his thirties came in from outside the door. The middle-aged man was wearing the robe of the third-generation disciple of the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong, holding a few storage bags in his hands, which looked heavy. He came to the reception room and bowed to Xiao Lin.

"Disciple Wang Xuan'an, I pay my respects to the Chief Guest Elder."

Xiao Lin waved his hand and asked him to stand up, then said, "Did the elder on duty at Tiandao Tower ask you to come?"

"Yes, the elder once issued a task to find some spiritual herbs and medicines at Tiandao Tower. Now, except for a few, most of the disciples have returned to Tiandao Tower to hand in the task, so the elder on duty asked the disciples to deliver it to the elder."

"Oh, the elder on duty now is surnamed Wang?"

"Yes, it's the ancestor of the family."

"So that's it, bring the things here." Xiao Lin said with a look of surprise on his face.

The monk surnamed Wang respectfully handed the storage bag in his hand to Xiao Lin, and then stood with his hands behind his back.

"Anything else?" Xiao Lin asked with a frown on his face.

"Elder, I heard that you don't have any disciples to serve you, so I volunteered to serve you."

Xiao Lin was stunned when he heard this, but he soon understood that in the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong, the second-generation elders all had disciples to serve them, who usually helped them run errands and do some odd jobs.

And if the cultivation of such disciples is too low, it is not easy to use them, so the disciples served by the second-generation elders are mostly third-generation disciples in the Jindan period.

In Dancao Mountain, Jindan cultivators are already ancestors with a transcendent status, but in the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong, Jindan cultivators are not as numerous as cattle hair, but they are not few.

Xiao Lin has been in the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong for more than a hundred years, and he still has some understanding of some rules in the sect. Although the person in front of him does not look high in realm, only in the middle stage of Jindan, in Xiao Lin's opinion, he is very smart.

Those who serve as the second-generation elders can receive generous spiritual stone rewards from the sect every month, and can also get a lot of merit points.

Moreover, the higher the status of the second-generation elders they serve, the more generous the rewards. Chief guest elders like Xiao Lin are basically second only to the sect master and the fourteen chief elders in the sect.

And the sect master and the fourteen chief elders basically don't use some unfamiliar disciples. Most of them are their own disciples or their ancestors.

"What's your name?"

"Disciple Wang Xuanbei." Hearing this, this person immediately showed an expectant expression on his face and answered.

"This elder has taken note of this matter. You go back first. I will notify you after I make a decision." Xiao Lin said after a moment of silence.

Wang Xuanbei heard the disappointment in his eyes, but he didn't dare to refute. After bowing, he turned and left.

The main reason why Xiao Lin did not agree to him immediately was that he was not familiar with him. Although driving a disciple could save him a lot of time in dealing with many things, this person would also know some of his secrets.

He still needed to investigate whether this person was reliable.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Lin told Le Hu and Yuan Hong about Wang Xuanbei through the secret technique of teleportation, and asked them to investigate this person's origin.

In the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong, driving a disciple has another name, which is a named disciple who serves people. This is also the reason why Wang Xuanbei deliberately wanted to become Xiao Lin's driving disciple. Although he is a named disciple, he can still get guidance.

And being able to become a named disciple of a chief guest elder like himself is definitely a great thing, and even his status in the sect will rise.

After doing all this, Xiao Lin took a few storage bags and came to the practice room. He sank into it and checked it carefully.

After a moment, Xiao Lin showed a happy expression on his face. He had collected all the materials needed for the recipe he got from the old demon Qiandu.

Of course, these materials were not too rare, but there were more varieties. What surprised Xiao Lin was that there were even two black demon grasses, and there were more than a dozen of the others.

In this way, he could refine the incense first and try to cultivate the emperor-level soul-devouring fire poison.

Xiao Lin did it as he thought. He went to the alchemy room. Halfway through, a green light flashed on his body. The second soul had left his body and came to the living room, sitting cross-legged.

After entering the alchemy room, Xiao Lin placed all the materials for refining incense on the ground one by one.

This kind of incense is called Tiandu incense. It is different from refining elixir. To refine Tiandu incense, you only need to thoroughly fuse various materials, condense and solidify them, and pull them into a circle. There is no such thing as a success rate.

If all these materials are refined, the obtained Sky Poison Incense should be enough to give birth to all the Emperor-level Great Perfection Soul Devouring Fire Gu.

Half a month later

Xiao Lin looked at the dozens of thumb-thick and foot-long Sky Poison Incense in front of him, and a look of joy appeared on his face. The difficulty of refining this Sky Poison Incense is not success or failure, but the refining process.

As the name suggests, Sky Poison Incense contains a strong poison. Even if a Yuanying-stage cultivator inhales too much of this poison, he will be poisoned to death.

So during the refining process, Xiao Lin needs to hold his breath throughout the whole process, and he also needs to drive the magic power to condense a light shield outside the body to isolate the poison gas.

Even so, every three days, he has to take a pill of poison-removing pill to ensure his own safety.

Although the process is complicated, fortunately, the Sky Poison Incense has been refined.

Xiao Lin took the beast ring from his waist, copied it in front of him, and then directly took the Sky Poison Incense into the beast ring.

After arriving in the beast ring, Xiao Lin walked into a compartment, and then used his mind to drive thousands of Emperor-level Great Perfection Soul Devouring Fire Gu to this compartment.

After thinking about it, Xiao Lin decided to verify it first. After all, this method is useful for the Golden Evil Bug, but it is unknown whether it is useful for his Soul Devouring Fire Gu. If there are any side effects to his Soul Devouring Fire Gu, he would rashly use all the Emperor-level Great Perfection Soul Devouring Fire Gu to test it, which would be a heavy loss.

Thousands of Soul Devouring Fire Gu came into the compartment with blazing flames. Xiao Lin took out a piece of Sky Poison Incense and gently touched it on the fire cloud. The Sky Poison Incense was immediately ignited, emitting a pale green cloud, which soon filled the entire compartment.

Xiao Lin placed the incense in the center of the compartment, then turned around and left the compartment and closed the door.

After the Sky Poison Incense was ignited, the smoke it emitted was also highly toxic, and the toxicity was even more intense than the process of his refining.

Xiao Lin sat cross-legged beside Xiao Hei, who was still sleeping soundly, and the spirit stone beside him had long been empty. Seeing this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but smile.

Xiao Hei, this guy, seemed to eat and sleep all day long, and rarely ran out.

After waiting quietly for half an hour, Xiao Lin calculated that the Tiandu incense should be almost burned out. He stood up and walked to the door. As usual, he gathered his magic power to protect his whole body, and then opened the door and walked in.

As soon as he walked into the compartment, Xiao Lin found a strange scene. Thousands of emperor-level great perfection soul-devouring fire insects had curled up into a ball, and the red lotus true fire on their bodies had completely disappeared, revealing their red shells.

These soul-devouring fire insects had red eyes, emitting a faint bloodthirsty aura, and even when they looked at Xiao Lin, they were also a bit cold and murderous.

This scene really frightened Xiao Lin, but he soon understood that the smoke emitted by the Sky Poison Incense was to stimulate the evil spirit in the Soul Devouring Fire Gu, and to stimulate the fierce breath that was integrated into their memory and body, so as to stimulate them to kill each other and give birth to stronger individuals.

But these Soul Devouring Fire Gu with red eyes in front of him, although they had begun to emit a trace of fierce breath, it was obviously not enough. After Xiao Lin estimated, he immediately lit two more Sky Poison Incense, and then turned and left.

This time, Xiao Lin came to the door after about an hour.

Before he entered, Xiao Lin heard a dense "buzzing" sound coming from inside, accompanied by the sound of metal friction from teeth biting.

Xiao Lin's face was happy, he opened the door and walked in. As soon as he entered, dozens of Soul Devouring Fire Gu rushed towards him.

But when they were still a few feet away from him, they seemed to sense the blood power in Xiao Lin's body, stopped immediately, and turned to fight each other with their teeth bared.

These Soul Devouring Fire Gu did not release the Red Lotus True Fire, but relied purely on their hard shells and sharp teeth to bite and kill each other. The scene was extremely bloody. Some Soul Devouring Fire Gu even had half of their bodies bitten off, but they still pounced fiercely on another Soul Devouring Fire Gu.

Xiao Lin observed carefully. In less than a meal, thousands of Emperor-level Great Perfection Soul Devouring Fire Gu were left with less than a hundred, about sixty or seventy.

Among these sixty or seventy, only less than half were intact, about thirty.

Under the control of Xiao Lin's mind, the thirty intact Soul Devouring Fire Gu in front of him, which were missing limbs, immediately pounced fiercely on those with incomplete limbs again.

In a moment, the Soul Devouring Fire Gu with incomplete limbs were also bitten off, and the fierce aura of the thirty intact Soul Devouring Fire Gu disappeared by half after devouring a large number of their own kind.

There was also a lazy look in his eyes, and he was flying in the air, and he was also shaky.

Soon, the thirty intact soul-devouring fire insects fell to the ground one after another, found a place by themselves, closed their eyes, and fell asleep.

Seeing this, Xiao Lin showed a satisfied expression on his face, but he knew that this first devouring was just the beginning of evolution. According to the way of advancement of the emperor-level soul insects recorded in the secret technique of raising soul insects, this kind of soul insect that advances by devouring needs to devour at least three times to successfully advance to the next level.

Now it is only the first time. There are only about thirty soul-devouring fire insects left out of thousands of emperor-level great perfection soul-devouring fire insects. However, only the first time was the biggest loss, and the next two times were just devouring each other.

But for those whose bodies are incomplete due to devouring each other during the advancement process, they cannot recover on their own. This is why Xiao Lin let the intact body devour the incomplete Soul Devouring Fire Gu.

Xiao Lin looked at the thirty or so Soul Devouring Fire Gu that had fallen into a deep sleep, with a helpless expression on his face. Three Soul Devouring Fire Gu needed to go through two rounds of mutual devouring, and the ones with intact limbs left at the end could advance to the Emperor-level Soul Devouring Fire Gu.

In this way, among these tens of thousands of Emperor-level Great Perfection Soul Devouring Fire Gu, there are probably not many Emperor-level ones that can be cultivated in the end.

However, Xiao Lin changed his mind and was relieved. A single Emperor-level Soul Devouring Fire Gu is equivalent to the existence of an early Nascent Soul cultivator. If there are hundreds or thousands, then can he directly slaughter the Nascent Soul cultivators?

How could the laws of heaven allow such a perverted situation to occur? Even if only a few can be cultivated, it is enough to make him invincible under the God Transformation.

Xiao Lin left his mind in the beast ring as a strand of his consciousness, while his main body left the beast ring, because once the thirty or so soul-devouring fire insects woke up, he would have to light the poisonous incense again and let them fight for the third time. Moreover, the interval between each fight and devouring could not be too long, otherwise all the previous efforts would be wasted.

While practicing, Xiao Lin paid attention to the movements in the beast ring. Finally, in the third month, the thirty or so soul-devouring fire insects woke up from their deep sleep one after another. After waking up, Xiao Lin immediately entered the beast ring again and lit the poisonous incense in the compartment.

This time, three in a row were lit, and the thirty soul-devouring fire insects began to fight and devour.

Moreover, Xiao Lin was surprised to find that the aura of the thirty or so soul-devouring fire insects that had awakened was much more stable and strong than before the fight.

This fight lasted for more than an hour. There were only sixteen soul-devouring fire insects left out of the thirty or so soul-devouring fire insects, and only eight of them had intact bodies. Xiao Lin could only drive the eight soul-devouring fire insects to devour the eight with incomplete bodies again with some heartache.

After devouring them, the remaining eight Soul Devouring Fire Gu once again showed a drowsy look, and soon each found a place, fell to the ground and fell asleep.

Looking at the remaining eight, Xiao Lin felt a little sad. After two rounds of fighting and devouring, there were only eight left after thousands of Emperor-level Great Perfection Soul Devouring Fire Gu. This elimination rate was even lower than that of the human Jindan cultivators breaking through the Nascent Soul stage.
