"If that's the case, it's not impossible for me to lend you the mind imitation insect, but I have to watch the whole process." Seeing that Patriarch Qing Fu was willing to swear by the heart demon, most of the worries in his heart disappeared. He said after thinking for a moment.
"Of course, please come with me." Patriarch Qing Fu was overjoyed when Liu Ming agreed. After swearing in front of him again, he turned and walked toward the back of the hall.
Liu Ming raised his eyebrows and followed.
The 2 soon walked into a winding corridor. The ground and surroundings were quite flat. It seemed to lead to the depths of the underground.
Along the way, Liu Ming found several forks. After a glance, it seemed that each fork was connected to a few secret rooms. It seemed to be used to raise various spiritual insects. From time to time, he could see a few cultivators of the Green Ling Clan in green robes going in and out.
Speaking of which, this tribe was really sparsely populated. Walking from the entrance of the cave, Liu Ming didn't find many Green Ling Clan people.
The 2 walked along the corridor for about a quarter of an hour, and they came to a stone room at the end.
On both sides of the door of the stone room, there was a picture of a strange insect. The one on the left looked like an abnormally ferocious golden beetle, while the one on the right was a black silkworm. It looked ordinary, but the only special thing was that there was a white pattern on the black silkworm's head that looked like a human skull.
"Patriarch, the silkworm on the right side, is it …" Liu Ming's heart moved, and he asked.
"Liu is really keen. Yes, this black silkworm is the holy insect of our clan, Skeleton Silkworm. As for the golden beetle, it is another holy insect of our clan, but you don't need to know. "Patriarch Qing Fu said lightly.
Liu Ming wasn't interested in the other holy insect. With a glance, he carefully looked at the skeleton silkworm.
The patriarch of the Green Mantis Clan murmured something and waved his hand, shooting a black light into the stone door.
The stone door made a soft sound, and a faint layer of black light appeared on the surface. After a while, the stone door slowly opened inward.
Patriarch Qing Fu stepped in. Liu Ming's eyes flashed, and he quickly followed.
The stone room was quite spacious. It was about 300 meters in size, but the light was a bit dim. There were only a few stones inlaid with a faint green light on the top.
However, with the eyesight of Patriarch Qing Fu and Liu Ming, they could see clearly even without the slightest light source.
Liu Ming looked around, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
From the outside, the stone room seemed to be heavily guarded, but the inside was unexpectedly simple. The walls were not even polished, and uneven stones could be seen from time to time. In addition, there were many strange plants planted in the surroundings.
The air in the stone room exuded a faint fragrance that smelled very comfortable.
"This is the insect breeding room of our Green Ling Clan. These plants can emit the scent that insects like," explained the leader of the Green Ling Clan.
Liu Ming glanced around and nodded.
There was a flat stone platform on the ground in the middle of the stone room. Patriarch Qing Fu walked to the side of the stone platform, chanted, and launched a symbol.
The stone platform made a rumbling sound, and it split in the middle, revealing a dark hole.
After a while, a translucent square box rose from below.
Patriarch Qing Fu launched a symbol, and an entrance was opened above the box.
"This is the insect breeding box. Liu, I'm going to start now." Patriarch Qing Fu moved his hand, and a green light carried his mind imitation insect into the square box.
Seeing this, Liu Ming also waved his hand, and a faint black gas sent the mind imitation insect into the box. The entrance of the box was closed.
Patriarch Qing Fu looked solemn. He waved his hands again and again, launching a series of symbols. Some went into the box, some flew to a few glowing green stones on the top of the stone room, and some directly shot into the ground.
With the movement of Patriarch Qing Yang, a faint green light began to appear in the entire stone room, and a cloud of light green mist gradually appeared in the box where the two mind imitation insects were. After a tumble, mysterious green Beastkin Clan runes slowly appeared on the surface of the box. It soon covered the entire surface of the box.
The green mist in the box became thicker and thicker. Under the shroud of the mist, the two mind imitation insects showed a hint of irritation. The two mind imitation insects, who were originally in harmony, seemed to be aware of each other's existence.
"Zhi zhi …" After a few chirps, the two mind imitation insects began to wriggle their bodies and slowly approached each other.
Seeing this scene, Liu Ming's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
Whether it was the insect beastkin clan or the beast beastkin clan, the most difficult problem was mating and reproducing offspring.
Each beastkin had its own reproductive period. The mystic art that Patriarch Qing Fu used actually urged the mind imitation insects to mate, and there was no side effect. It was really extraordinary.
…
After a day and a night, the door of the stone room slowly opened. Liu Ming and Patriarch Qing Fu walked out side by side.
There was a faint look of excitement on Patriarch Qing Fu's face. He was holding a transparent cylindrical jar in his hand. There were 2 finger-sized milky white insect eggs in it.
Liu Ming didn't seem to be in such a good mood. He frowned slightly. The male mind imitation insect was lying quietly in his palm at the moment. It looked a little weak.
He turned his hand and took out a small green bottle. He poured out a bean-sized black elixir and fed it to the mind imitation insect.
After taking a elixir, the breath of the mind imitation insect immediately recovered a little. It moved its body and made a low squeaking sound. It seemed to like this elixir very much.
"This is a spirit feed pill handed down from the ancient times. It is suitable for most spirit insects. Unfortunately, the cost of refining is too high. There are not many in our clan. If you take more than half of this bottle of elixir, your mind imitation insect should be able to make up for the loss of vitality. "Patriarch Qing Fu explained.
Liu Ming nodded and kept away the mind imitation insect.
"Patriarch Gu, now that the 2 eggs are in your hands, I wonder if …" He glanced at the Qing Ling Clan and said faintly.
"Don't worry, my Qing Ling Clan keeps its word. I have already ordered someone to get the skeleton silkworm. It should be waiting in the hall now." Patriarch Qing Fu put away the transparent jar in his hand and said.
"That's good." Liu Ming nodded easily.
The 2 soon came to the hall. In the hall, Lan Si and Elder Gu from yesterday were already here. Elder Gu was holding a palm-sized dark green stone box in his hand.
"Patriarch." Elder Gu looked at Patriarch Qing Fu.
Patriarch Qing Fu nodded. Elder Gu understood. He handed the stone box in his hand to Liu Ming and said, "Liu, inside is the skeleton silkworm you want."
"Thank you." Liu Ming's face showed a hint of joy. He took the stone box and opened the lid. There was a black silkworm lying quietly inside. It was 7 or 8 inches long and as thick as a finger. There was a white skull pattern on its head. It was the same as the one at the door of the insect breeding room. It was the skeleton silkworm.
"Liu, I don't know what you want this skeleton silkworm for, but this silkworm is our clan's sacred insect. Please make good use of it." Elder Gu stared at Liu Ming and said solemnly.
"Thank you for reminding me." Liu Ming looked at Elder Gu in surprise and said faintly.
He closed the stone box and carefully put it away.
The skeleton silkworm must have a special ability to be regarded as a sacred insect by the Qing Fu clan. However, he didn't have the mood to explore it. He only wanted this skeleton silkworm to refine the Soul Sucking Gu.
"Patriarch Gu, since the transaction is done, I won't disturb you any longer. I'll take my leave. Brother Lan, your transaction should be done, right? "Liu Ming cupped his hand at Patriarch Qing Fu and said to Lan Si.
He couldn't wait to return to Luo City and refine the Soul Sucking Gu.
Lan Si nodded. She had already chosen her 12 swift beetles. If it wasn't for waiting for Liu Ming, she would have left yesterday.
The two of them bowed to Clan Leader Qing Fu, then turned around and left.
"Liu, please wait." Elder Gu suddenly said.
When Liu Ming heard this, he stopped and turned around to look.
"It's like this. I wonder if you can sell the Scarlet Scorching Pill to me. I'm willing to pay 20 million spirit stones." Elder Gu looked at Liu Ming expectantly and said.
He didn't have much lifespan left, but he couldn't break through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. The Scarlet Scorching Pill was too important to him. He couldn't let it go no matter what.
"Elder Gu, do you think that a pill like the Scarlet Scorching Pill can be valued with spirit stones? Besides, I don't lack spirit stones. "Liu Ming said with a faint smile.
He was telling the truth. He had already earned a lot of spirit stones by cooperating with the Blue Wood clan over the years. He really didn't care about a mere tens of millions of spirit stones.
Although the Scarlet Scorching Pill could only be used once, instead of selling it, it was better to keep it for the people around him when they broke through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm in the future.
Elder Gu was stunned. Yesterday, he used these words to shut Liu Ming's mouth. At this moment, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.
"Liu, since you don't care about mere spirit stones, I wonder if my clan can exchange some precious exotic insects with you. Since you have a mind imitation insect, you should be interested in other spiritual insects." Patriarch Qing Fu suddenly said.
Liu Ming was silent when he heard this.
Elder Gu glanced at Patriarch Qing Fu gratefully. He waved his hand and took out a white bone Jade Slips and handed it to Liu Ming.
"This is the list of spiritual insects used by our clan to exchange with foreign clans. There are corresponding annotations behind each spiritual insect, recording the abilities of these spiritual insects. Liu, please take a look first." Elder Gu squeezed a smile on his face.
A look of interest appeared on Liu Ming's face. He reached out and took the Jade Slips, then he probed it with Divine Thought.
Illusionary Dark Insect, ranked 21st on the Green Nightmare Insect List. Its adult strength was comparable to the Crystallization Period cultivator. The special gas it spat could make people hallucinate. It had a miraculous effect on cultivators below the Jin Dan State.
Cold Crystal Ant, ranked 25th on the Green Nightmare Insect List. It was good at flying. It was a spiritual insect used for large-scale combat. It could spit special cold air that could freeze everything.
Mountain Devouring Centipede, ranked 30th on the Green Nightmare Insect List. It was an earth attribute spiritual insect. It was extremely sensitive to the aura of heaven and earth. It was good at finding treasures.
…
One by one, strange spiritual insects suddenly appeared in front of Liu Ming. He had never heard of them before. It was an eye-opener for him.
After a while, his Divine Thought retreated from the Jade Slips, and he played with the Jade Slips in his hand.
Seeing Liu Ming's expression, Elder Gu felt a little uneasy.
He secretly guessed in his heart, Could it be that Liu Ming was not interested in these spiritual insects on the Jade Slips?
