Chapter 428: Jinwen's Record of Controlling Insects
After dealing with Song Xinde's affairs, Song Qingming sat in meditation and rested for a while, then took out several storage bags he had obtained not long ago.
This time, Song Qingming only obtained a few pills at the Tiandan League auction, and did not get any good things. He didn't know whether these storage bags that he accidentally got on the road could give him some surprises.
The restrictions on these three storage bags were not very complicated. Song Qingming only spent a few days to erase the restrictions and open them one by one.
In the storage bags of the two mid-stage foundation-building cultivators, in addition to a few second-level magic tools and an ordinary foundation-building technique, the rest were some messy low-level spiritual objects and hundreds of scattered spiritual stones.
The total wealth of these two people's storage bags is estimated to be only three or four thousand spiritual stones. For mid-stage foundation-building cultivators, these two people are really a little too poor.
However, this was similar to what Song Qingming had thought before he opened their storage bags. In the battle that day, the two men performed mediocrely, just like ordinary foundation-building casual cultivators. They did not have any powerful spiritual objects on them, and their fighting skills were not even as strong as that of the green-clothed woman whose cultivation was lower than theirs.
After one of them finally discovered how powerful Song Qingming was, he wanted to escape to the purple-clothed woman. When he faced the invisible light needles of Song Qingming behind him, the best defense he could use at the critical moment of life and death was a second-level low-grade defensive talisman. He lost his life even when he could not block a powerful spell of Song Qingming.
Song Qingming was naturally a little disappointed that he had taken such great risks to kill two foundation-building cultivators and got these things.
It was not until he opened the storage bag of the other late-stage foundation-building old man and saw the full of spiritual stones appear in front of him that Song Qingming's face finally slowly showed a hint of joy.
In the old man's storage bag, there were not only three second-level medium-grade magic tools, but also nearly two thousand spirit stones and several second-level spirit talismans of good quality. These things alone exceeded the total value of the spirit objects in the previous two storage bags.
In addition, Song Qingming also found several second-level spirit objects of good quality and some cultivation manuals. After searching through these cultivation manuals, Song Qingming finally found the manual he wanted to find the most.
The name of this manual is "Jinwen Yuchonglu". Song Qingming didn't know whether the two words "Jinwen" were the name of the old man who died in his hands that day, and whether this manual was recorded by the old man himself or he got it from somewhere else.
"Jinwen Yuchonglu" records all the methods and experiences of cultivating various spiritual insects in the world of cultivation, as well as the introduction of the abilities of these spiritual insects. Among these spiritual insects, Song Qingming quickly found the golden fantasy butterfly recorded above.
When Song Qingming fought the three of them that day, the golden phantom butterflies controlled by the skinny old man did cause him a lot of trouble. Every time Song Qingming just beat back the other two and was about to fight back, these fearless spirit insects appeared in groups near him, making it difficult for him to be distracted.
Moreover, once these spirit insects get close, ordinary defensive shields are useless to them and they are easily penetrated by them. Fortunately, although these golden phantom butterflies have very strong attack power, they are still in the larval stage and are not very fast. Song Qingming was able to avoid their attacks in time with the wind-controlling boots on his feet.
If Song Qingming's own strength had not exceeded that of ordinary cultivators of the same level, and he had a lot of second-level fire-explosive talismans that restrain spirit insects, he would really have no way to deal with these golden phantom butterflies. If it were someone else who fell in the battle, he might not be the one who fell.
It was not until now that Song Qingming finished reading the detailed introduction of golden phantom butterflies in "Jinwen Yuchonglu" that he had a new understanding of those spirit insects, and he also had a little more respect for the person who recorded this classic.
The golden phantom butterfly is a very rare spiritual insect in the current world of immortal cultivation. It is unknown where the old man found these spiritual insects and how he cultivated so many of them. Although they are still in the larval stage, these golden phantom butterflies have shown their power and are enough to deal with an ordinary late-stage foundation-building cultivator.
After seeing the power of the golden phantom butterfly, Song Qingming immediately became interested. If he could also have these powerful spiritual insects, his ability to fight with others would definitely increase a lot in the future.
However, after he carefully read the "Jinwen Yuchong Lu", Song Qingming's heart suddenly cooled down. According to the records in the classics, the golden phantom butterfly cannot change its master after recognizing its master. It can only be successful when this spiritual insect is still in the egg stage.
After the battle ended that day, Junior Sister Xu Ziyan helped him collect the remaining golden illusion butterflies. Song Qingming thought that as long as he could find the method of controlling insects in the old man's storage bag, the golden illusion butterflies he brought back might be able to be used directly. He didn't expect that he would have wasted his skills in the end.
According to the records in "Jinwen Yu Chong Lu", if Song Qingming wanted to cultivate this kind of spiritual insects from scratch, it would cost a lot of resources, but it would take decades for these spiritual insects to become successful. By the time they were cultivated to be useful, Song Qingming himself would probably have formed a pill, and these spiritual insects would be of no use to him.
With great expectations and disappointment, Song Qingming lost interest in the golden phantom butterfly in the spirit beast bag. He found a big box in his cave and placed all the spirit insects in it, preparing to hand them over to several clansmen who were good at controlling beasts in the back mountain of the family.
Since it is useless to me now, let the younger generations of the family try to see if they can cultivate new insect eggs. It doesn't matter if I can't use them. As long as they can be cultivated, there will always be other clansmen who will use them in the future.
The reason why spirit insects are difficult to cultivate is that they are different from ordinary spirit beasts. Generally, their lifespans are relatively short. For spirit insects like golden phantom butterflies, if they cannot be cultivated to a high level, it usually takes only a few decades from the eggs to their natural death. Once they are not cultivated properly during this period, the old spirit insects will not hatch new eggs in time, and soon all the spirit insects will disappear.
Although a little disappointed, Song Qingming was still very happy in his heart. Abandoning these temporarily useless spirit objects, the spirit objects that Song Qingming looted from the three storage bags this time are almost worth nearly ten thousand spirit stones.
The surprise brought by the spirit stone that suddenly comes to your door is much more exciting than hiding at home and working hard to make spirit talismans. No wonder many people in the world of immortal cultivation like to do this kind of murder and robbery.
Let me apologize first. When I wrote about Song Xinde in the two pictures yesterday, I felt empathy for no reason. I was a little too watery.
The performance of this book has always been very poor. I have been writing for more than eight months and have not achieved any results. Fortunately, I persisted. With everyone's support and encouragement, the performance has gradually improved.
Next, I will pay attention to promoting the rhythm of the plot, and try to control my emotions when writing the book. You are also welcome to criticize and correct me in time. Thank you very much for your support to Xiaomeng again.
