Family Cultivation: Start with the Fire Spirit Body to Gain Experience

The Lu family has been doing business with the Jinyuan Sect for many years.

The quality of Yanhe crystal sand and Tianyun divine iron produced in the underground magma river is extremely high, and the quality of the magic tools refined with these minerals is also high.

The Jinyuan Sect has used these two minerals to refine magic tools in the past nine years, which has brought considerable income to the sect.

The Jinyuan Sect and Linggu Sect are old-fashioned Jindan Sects, and they both have stable channels to obtain foundation-building spiritual objects.

In recent years, the connection between the Lu family and these two Jindan Sects has become closer and closer. These two Jindan Sects have helped a lot with the foundation-building spiritual objects purchased by the Lu family.

The Lu family has added eleven cultivators in the foundation-building realm, and the number of cultivators in the Qi Refining realm has also increased a lot, but in terms of proportion, it is lower than that of cultivators in the foundation-building realm.

The reason for this is that the living environment of ordinary people has become worse and worse in recent years.

This is because of the severe drought!

It has not rained in the territory of the Huanggu Sect for three years!

Rainwater is rare in the ancient Huangzong. If ordinary people in the area are helped by the cultivators, they don’t have to worry about the crops they planted not being harvested.

But that is under normal circumstances. There has been a three-year drought in the ancient Huangzong now. Even the Yuanying cultivators cannot force rain.

For the Jindan forces like the Lu family, this drought has not caused much impact on the cultivators, but it has caused a lot of impact on the ordinary people raised below.

This is the case for the Jindan forces, not to mention the Qi Refining and Foundation Building forces.

What is even more pitiful is the ordinary people who have no cultivators to protect them. In the past three years of drought, I don’t know how many of these ordinary people have lost their lives.

The disasters brought by the drought are not only these, but also a lot of insect pests. Now the most serious one in the ancient Huangzong is the black-striped sky locust.

When the black-striped sky locust was just born, it was very weak, not even a demon beast.

But the black-striped sky locust grows very quickly. If everything goes well, they can become first-level demon insects within a year and second-level demon insects within two years.

The speed at which they become third-level demon insects will be relatively slow, but at most it will take only three years for them to transform from second-level to third-level.

After that, it will take at most five years for them to transform into fourth-level demon insects.

And this is not the limit of the black-striped sky locusts. They are very likely to be promoted to fifth-level or even sixth-level demon insects.

If the number of black-striped sky locusts is large enough, the speed of their level promotion will be faster.

The horror of demon insects such as black-striped sky locusts lies not only in their terrifying strength improvement speed, but also in their amazing reproduction speed and destructive power.

A mother insect can lay nearly 100,000 eggs in a month. If the conditions are right, these eggs have a very high hatching rate.

After these eggs are successfully hatched, the insect swarm will take these newborn larvae to devour various items that can enhance their strength.

After the locusts pass through, they will not leave any living things or items containing spiritual energy!

The inherited books left by the Burning Flame Sect had records of the black-striped sky locust, which were recorded in the Fengwuzhi and the beast control books.

The Fengwuzhi contains a lot of content, and the Lu family's cultivators are indeed interested in the Fengwuzhi, but they did not have a deep impression of the black-striped sky locust recorded in the Fengwuzhi.

The Lu family discovered the black-striped sky locust, which was still the Lu family's beast control master Lu Chengyao.

Lu Chengyao has a high talent in beast control, and he is willing to spend time and energy on it, and he studies the various beast control books left by the Burning Flame Sect very hard.

After seeing the records of the black-striped sky locust in the books, he was very interested, mainly because the black-striped sky locust was too terrible.

Because in the locust plague recorded in the books, the highest grade of the black-striped sky locust reached the fifth grade, and they directly caused the death of all the creatures in several states.

This includes powerful cultivators in the realm of transformation!

When Lu Chengyao saw these records, he just felt that the power of the black-striped sky locust was exaggerated, until he really saw a demon insect that looked like a black-striped sky locust in the Burning Flame Mountains.

Regardless of whether the contents recorded in the classics can be taken seriously, after Lu Chengyao discovered this demon insect that looked like a black-striped sky locust, he immediately passed the news to Lu Chengan and other high-level monks of the Lu family, and asked Que Yun to take him back to the Lu family immediately.

Lu Chengan has been practicing in the underground magma river of the Burning Flame Mountains for many years. In these nine years of hard practice, his cultivation has not broken through to the late Jindan stage.

This is mainly because the higher the level of a cultivator's cultivation, the more difficult it is to improve his cultivation. It often takes more than a decade for a Jindan cultivator to improve his cultivation to a small realm.

Even a hundred years to improve a small realm is a very normal phenomenon!

Lu Chengan's own cultivation talent is not bad, and with the help of the panel, his cultivation is improved much faster than other cultivators.

Although his cultivation has not broken through to the late Jindan stage in these nine years of hard practice, the difference is not too far.

If he concentrates on practicing for another two or three years, there is a good chance that he will break through to the late Jindan stage.

However, the news conveyed by Lu Chengyao was too shocking. If the black-striped sky locusts really appeared in the Burning Flame Mountains, their Lu family must also resolve this threat as soon as possible.

Lu Chengan did not waste time. After receiving Lu Chengyao's message, he returned directly to the family.

Lu Chengyao's cultivation had just broken through to the late foundation building stage not long ago, so his speed was naturally not comparable to Lu Chengan.

But he was brought back from the Burning Flame Mountains by Que Yun.

Que Yun is a third-level mid-stage demon beast. He is extremely fast. Almost as soon as Lu Chengan returned to the Lu family, Que Yun brought Lu Chengyao back to the family.

What Lu Chengyao said was too shocking, so Lu Chengan and Lu Wenxing did not plan to tell the other cultivators of the Lu family directly, but confirmed with Lu Chengyao first.

"Grand Elder, Clan Leader, there is an introduction to the black-striped sky locust in this jade slip. This is the black-striped sky locust I caught in the Burning Flame Mountains. You can compare it!" Lu Chengyao said in a deep voice.

He had made preparations before returning to the family. He printed a detailed introduction to the black-striped sky locust in the beast control inheritance classics on the jade slip, and captured some black-striped sky locusts and brought them back to the family.

The reason why Lu Chengyao did this was because he felt that his cultivation was relatively low and his vision was not broad enough.

This black-striped sky locust has not appeared for a long time. Although the black-striped sky locust that appeared in the Burning Flame Mountains is the same as the one recorded in the classics, he is still worried that his judgment will be wrong.

After Lu Chengyao took out the jade slip and the captured black-striped sky locusts, Lu Chengan immediately took them in his hands.

Lu Chengan first checked the contents recorded in the jade slip, and then he released several black-striped sky locusts that were sealed in the grass cage.

The strength of these black-striped sky locusts varied. Two of them had reached the early second stage, and the rest were at the first stage.

They were locked up by Lu Chengyao for several days. Now that they were released from the grass cage by Lu Chengan, they immediately flapped their dark brown wings and flew towards Lu Chengyao like lightning.

The sharp mouthparts of these black-striped sky locusts opened during the flight, and wisps of black mist spread out of their mouthparts.

These black mists are extremely corrosive and can easily break through the defenses of cultivators.

If the number of black-striped sky locusts is large enough, they can devour cultivators who are one level higher than them by relying on their numerical advantage.

Lu Chengyao's cultivation was at the late stage of foundation building. The strength of these black-striped sky locusts was quite different from his, and they would not pose a threat to him.

However, he was a little confused about what the Supreme Elder meant, so he did not make a move to resist the attack of these black-striped sky locusts.

After releasing these black-striped sky locusts, Lu Chengan had been observing the changes of these black-striped sky locusts.

When these black-striped sky locusts were less than half a foot away from Lu Chengyao, he suddenly made a move and directly took all of the black-striped sky locusts into his palm.

Then he took out a palm-sized black-gold stone from the storage ring. This was a second-level medium-grade obsidian.

This is a very common refining material, which can be used to refine a variety of second-level medium-grade magic tools.

This mineral material has a very obvious characteristic, that is, it is extremely hard.

It takes several days for a second-level medium-grade refiner to refine a second-level medium-grade obsidian.

The highest grade of these black-striped sky locusts is only the early stage of the second stage. If they can refine, swallow and digest this piece of second-grade medium-grade obsidian, it can be basically confirmed that they are black-striped sky locusts.

After Lu Chengan took out the second-grade medium-grade obsidian, the black-striped sky locusts in his palm swarmed up and instantly covered the second-grade medium-grade obsidian.

After a while, accompanied by a crackling sound, a second-stage early stage black-striped sky locust bit off a small piece from the complete obsidian.

Then another second-stage early stage black-striped sky locust followed closely and also bit off a small piece of obsidian.

After seeing this situation, Lu Wenxing's face suddenly showed a touch of shock.

Obsidian is a relatively common refining material, and he also has a certain understanding of obsidian.

These black-striped sky locusts were able to tear the obsidian apart in such a short time. Even if they were not black-striped sky locusts, they were also a very powerful insect demon.

Lu Chengyao's expression was still relatively calm, because when he suspected these black-striped sky locusts, he also did similar experiments.

Lu Chengan released his spiritual power and locked tightly on the bodies of the two second-stage early black-striped sky locusts.

He used his spiritual power to detect that after these two second-stage early black-striped sky locusts tore the obsidian apart and swallowed it into their stomachs, a very strange power emerged from their bodies.

This power easily refined the obsidian and transformed it into nutrients that nourished the black-striped sky locusts' bodies and improved their cultivation.

"Chengan, what did you find? Can you be sure that this demon insect is a black-striped sky locust?"

After seeing the increasingly solemn expression on Lu Chengan's face, Lu Wenxing's shadow became more and more serious.

"This locust is most likely the Black-striped Sky Locust!"

A cold expression appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face, and he said in a deep voice: "Since the Black-striped Sky Locust has appeared in the Burning Flame Mountains, there may be other areas of our Lu family that have this kind of monster."

"The Black-striped Sky Locust reproduces too fast, and we must kill them as soon as possible!" Lu Cheng'an said in a deep voice.

He has now seen the horror of this monster. If they are provided with enough food, they can improve their cultivation in a very short time.

In addition, there is their terrible reproductive ability.

If they are not curbed, I am afraid they will soon be able to develop to the point where they can threaten the Lu family!

"Patriarch, you will be responsible for dealing with the Black-striped Sky Locust in the family. You can dispatch Lingxuan, Queyun and other third-level spirits and monsters at will!"

After taking a look at Lu Wenxing, Lu Chengan quickly said, "I'm going to Danding Sect now to tell the cultivators of Danding Sect this news. They are very close to our Lu family. I'm afraid that the black-striped sky locust has also appeared in Danding Sect."

After Lu Chengan hurriedly explained to Lu Wenxing, he immediately left the Lu family and rushed to Danding Sect.

Shi Ningyu has been away from Danding Sect for a long time, but Danding Sect still has cultivators in the Jindan realm, which is the main reason why Lu Chengan dares to travel without worry.

Shi Ningyu's grandfather Shi Mingxin broke through to the Jindan realm with the help of Lu Chengan, and because of the relationship between Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu, Shi Mingxin is still very friendly to Lu Chengan.

Before going to Danding Sect, Lu Chengan quickly told Shi Mingxin about the news about the black-striped sky locust.

So when Lu Chengan arrived at Danding Sect, Shi Mingxin immediately began to ask Lu Chengan about the news about the black-striped sky locust.

"Cheng'an, is the monster insect you mentioned really that scary?" Shi Mingxin asked with a worried look on his face.

"Grandfather, please look, this is the black-striped sky locust. These two second-stage early black-striped sky locusts can easily devour and refine the second-stage medium-quality obsidian..."

"These black-striped sky locusts have not appeared too early. There should be no third-stage black-striped sky locusts yet. Next, please search for black-striped sky locusts in Danding Sect as soon as possible and kill them all!"

After Lu Cheng'an quickly explained to Shi Mingxin, he left him a black-striped sky locust and also left him a jade slip introducing the black-striped sky locust.

After that, Lu Cheng'an left Danding Sect quickly and rushed towards Jinyuan Sect.

He has already informed the two Jindan sects, Jinyuan Sect and Linggu Sect, about the news about the black-striped sky locust.

The black-striped sky locust was bred in a drought environment. Now there has been no rain in the entire Huanggu Sect for three years.

Since the Black-striped Sky Locust was bred in the Burning Flame Mountains, it is possible that this kind of monster insect could be bred in the entire Huanggu Sect.

Needless to say, the relationship between the Lu family and the Linggu Sect is very close. In recent years, the Lu family has established a deep friendship with the Jinyuan Sect because of the mineral material trade with the Jinyuan Sect.

Therefore, Lu Chengan told the news of the Black-striped Sky Locust to both the Jinyuan Sect and the Linggu Sect at the same time.
