A Mortal's Story of Cultivation into Immortality

"I see. It seems that the cultivation of this insect king probably requires a large number of gold-eating insects to eat each other to produce it." Han Li said thoughtfully with a flash of his eyes.

"My little friend is indeed very smart. Although he didn't hit all the marks, he is almost there. However, except for a few supreme elders of our Mayfly tribe, very few outsiders know about the Gold-eating Insect King. Just now, my little friend was talking to me. It’s no surprise that the matter about the Insect King has been known for a long time. It should be Qing Yuanzi who told you. He is the only one who has a good relationship with another Supreme Elder in our clan and can know a little bit about it. "Yes." After praising the old man, Xu Ling said with a sneer.

"I did hear this from Senior Jiang once. I heard that once the Gold-eating Insect King becomes a master, even the immortals in the immortal world will have to retreat three feet away. Are these words serious?" Han Li was silent for a moment and then calmed down. asked slowly.

"Although it is a bit exaggerated, the Gold-Eating Insect King is indeed unparalleled. At least if I meet him, I will never want to fight him." The old man Xu Ling said with a chuckle.

"I see, but I don't know how confident the senior can be in cultivating the Insect King if he gets the spiritual insect from the junior!" Han Li nodded and asked again with a sudden change in the topic.

"How sure are you!" The old man squinted his eyes and pondered for a while, then finally stretched out two fingers towards Han Li.

"Only 20%. This probability is really not high." Han Li's expression changed slightly and he replied in a deep voice.

"Hmph, what does it mean for me to become the gold-eating insect king? The 20% certainty is that I have been studying insect breeding for many years and have other means as a back-up. If it were another person, even one There is no chance of success. Okay, you have already asked all the questions that should be asked, and even this question has already exceeded the agreement. Now it is up to fellow Taoist to fulfill the agreement. If you have any conditions, you can directly raise them now ." Hearing Han Li's somewhat surprised voice, the old man said with a serious expression.

"How dare I mean to look down on my senior. As for the deal, if I agree to it, I will certainly fulfill it. As for the terms of exchange, I only have two conditions." Han Li seemed to have made a decision in his heart. Having said this, he immediately said without thinking

"Let's talk about the two conditions." When the old man heard Han Li's words, his expression softened and he nodded.

"First, I don't want any other treasures from my seniors. I just want to give you some more Styx Spiritual Milk. The seniors just said that with enough gold-eating insects, the spiritual milk will no longer have much effect on my seniors. Come to think of it, This condition is not difficult for the seniors. Secondly, the juniors also know the art of breeding insects, and there are still some remaining gold-eating bugs in their hands, so they also want to try to breed gold-eating bug kings. Although a sufficient number of gold-eating bugs can be collected, I don’t know how many years have passed since gold bugs happened, but this junior still wants to give it a try. So I want to ask for a complete secret of cultivating the gold-eating bug king from my seniors." Han Li said one by one with a solemn expression.

The originally smiling face of the old man Xu Ling, after listening to Han Li's words, his pupils suddenly shrank and he fell into deep thought.

"The first condition is easy to say. Although I can't give you all the spiritual milk in my hand, I can still do it if I give you four or five bottles. The second condition is a bit troublesome. The secret technique of cultivating the insect king is ours. Even some elders of the clan may not necessarily know all the unique secrets of the Mayfly clan. It would be inappropriate to reveal her to an outsider now." After a while, the old man frowned slightly and spoke.

"It's just a little troublesome, but the senior can still do it. The junior is right. And the senior should know very well that the junior's conditions are already insignificant compared to the senior's natal spiritual insects or the Xuantian remnant treasure." Han Li smiled slightly and said calmly.

"Hehe, there is some truth in what I said. Well, I can agree to your conditions. But regarding the secret technique of cultivating the second insect king, you must swear a poisonous oath with your inner demon in front of me, and you will never talk about it. This secret technique should only be known to the second person. When your cultivation reaches your level, the power of restraining inner demons is the most terrifying. Once you violate it, you will most likely fall during the tribulation. If this is the case, I still You are the one who taught me this secret technique." The old man said with a sudden smile.

"No problem, it's time. This junior is willing to swear an oath!" Han Li was overjoyed when he heard this, his expression condensed, and he really used his inner demons to make a vicious oath that even the old man Xu Ling could not find fault with.

"Okay, let's start the transaction. My little friend, I will take these bottles of spiritual milk first." The old man nodded with satisfaction, shook his sleeves, and five emerald green vials suddenly appeared and flew straight towards Han Li.

Han Li's face turned serious, and he raised his hand to grab all five vials.

Then he opened the bottle caps one by one and scanned them with his spiritual thoughts, his face slightly happy.

"Senior, there are five thousand mature gold-eating insects here. Please check them out, senior." Han Li also took out a spirit beast ring from his sleeve, flicked his wrist, and threw it over.

The old man rolled up his sleeves and took the ring into his hand.

He did not open the spirit beast ring immediately, but lightly pressed several fingers on the ring, closed his eyes, and directly invaded it with his spiritual thoughts.

After a while, the old man's face showed excitement.

"Yes, they are indeed fully mature gold-eating insects, and the cultivation is better than I expected. Very good. You should put this jade slip away, and never let anyone see it again." Things." The old man said after taking a breath and opening his eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, a jade slip that had been prepared flew out of his sleeve, and in a few flashes, it strangely arrived at the top of Han Li's head.

"Junior will keep it in mind." Han Li respectfully replied with a flash of joy, grabbed the jade slip in his hand, and put it on his forehead.

In an instant, the dense ancient texts in the jade slips and a lifelike picture immediately appeared in his mind.

After the old man Xu Ling put away the spirit beast ring filled with gold-eating insects, he felt completely at ease. Instead, he looked at Han Li with half-smiling eyes, seeming to be more and more interested in Han Li.

After an unknown amount of time, Han Li moved his expression, moved the jade slip from his forehead, and retracted all his spiritual thoughts.

"How about it? There's nothing wrong with the secret technique I gave you, right?" the old man asked with a chuckle.

"How dare I think this, junior! The secret technique of breeding insects given by my senior is extremely mysterious, and some of my previous questions have been enlightened even more." Han Li put the jade slip into his sleeve and immediately replied respectfully. road.

"Oh, you can get some understanding after just taking a look at it. It shows that my friend is really accomplished in the art of deworming. However, I would like to advise you that although the gold-eating insect king is extremely powerful, it really needs to be destroyed. To be cultivated, opportunity and hard work are both indispensable. It is better for you to do what you can." Elder Xu Ligong said with profound meaning.

"Thank you, senior, for your advice. I will consider what I do," Han Li said with an expression on his face.

"Well, as long as you know. Now that our deal is over, you can leave the Black Wind Pavilion first, and I will go out later. Don't keep the two fellow Taoists Jin Yan waiting to leave." The old man nodded and ordered calmly. .

"Yes, I will take the first step." Han Li naturally had no objection. After saluting again, he turned into a blue rainbow and flew out of the hall, disappearing in the black air outside in the blink of an eye.

"Hey, Gold-Eating Insect King! A mere fusion monk really dares to think about this. If it were so easy to cultivate a being comparable to a true immortal, wouldn't our Mayfly Clan already dominate the entire spiritual world? Our clan After so many years of acquiring this insect-breeding technique, no one has actually succeeded. It is a pity to have those bottles of spiritual milk. But with so many gold-eating insects, I should be able to refine the All-Soul Umbrella used to prevent tribulations. Nine times out of ten, it will be successful. The mature gold-eating insect itself is almost indestructible, and the all-spirit umbrella refined with it is also indestructible. It is really more sure to survive the catastrophe of ascension. Already." The old man waited for Han Li's escape light to disappear, and immediately sneered and murmured a few words.

Then the old man of Xuling turned over with one hand, and the spirit beast ring containing the gold-eating insect appeared again. The old man immediately made a secret with one hand and tapped the ring lightly.

Suddenly there was a flash of inspiration, and a black glow emerged from the fingertips. After rolling the ring, the entire spirit beast ring suddenly turned into a black ice, exuding an astonishing cold air.

"Pap" twice!

With a flash of his other hand, the old man put several bright blue talismans on Xuan Bing in an instant, and then put Xuan Bing away again with a relaxed expression.

…

Half an hour later, two frightening rainbows, one golden and one blue, flew out from the white light curtain of the island. After circling, they pointed in a certain direction and flew away.

In the escaping light, they were naturally Han Li and Qing Yuanzi.

After Han Li and the old man Xu Ling came out of the Black Wind Pavilion one after another, neither Jin Yanhou nor Qing Yuanzi asked anything about the transaction between Han Li and Xu Ling.

After chatting about other things and tasting the top-quality spiritual wine brewed by Jin Yanhou, the group of people said their goodbyes and left.

Along the way, the two of them didn't talk much and headed straight for the Qing Yuanzi Cave.

More than ten days later, Han Li finally saw the tall, giant peak that was vaguely familiar in the distance.

At this time, Qing Yuanzi's escaping light suddenly stopped. Han Li was startled and naturally stopped at the same place.

"Little friend Han, you should have got what you wanted during this trip, and there are also some other gains. I have finally repaid your favor. So after I go back, I am not going to keep you Taoist here any longer, but I plan to seal the mountain immediately. , concentrate on preparing for the next great calamity. Only if Yao'er's magic power has also advanced to the realm of integration, can she help me when I overcome the calamity. So I will take her to retreat together. I have already prepared the pill for her to break through the bottleneck. She is fully prepared. Unless she can successfully advance to the realm of integration, I will not let her out easily. Xiaoyou Han, do you understand what I mean." Qing Yuanzi suddenly said calmly to Han Li.
