Disciple, please let me go.

"Boom boom boom..."

A group of cultivators continuously unleashed various Taoist magics, madly attacking Li Dong.

However, the defensive power of the insect shield formed by the iron-armored air-sucking insects is too strong.

The nine-layer insect shield composed of thousands of iron-armored air-sucking insects always perfectly protected Li Dong in front of him, blocking all attacks for Li Dong.

But the crowd's dying counterattack was still very terrifying. Under their crazy Taoist attacks, the Iron-Armored Air-Devouring Gu fell to the ground like raindrops.

By the time the attacking Iron-Armored Air-Sucking Gu broke through the protective true qi and bit all the monks to death, more than 800 of the Iron-Armored Air-Sucking Gu that formed the insect shield had died.

Including the more than 200 that died at the beginning, the death toll of Iron-Armored Air-Sucking Gu exceeded a thousand.

Originally, Li Dong only had 19,000 Iron-Armored Air-Sucking Gu, and 1,000 of them died directly in the two battles.

At this rate, after a few more major battles, these seemingly powerful Iron-Armored Air-Sucking Gu would probably all die.

"These Iron Armored Qi Devouring Gu are so difficult to cultivate. They may seem very powerful, but they can only survive if they face the attacks of one or two immortal cultivators."

"Once the number of enemies increases and exceeds the upper limit of the Iron Armored Air Devouring Gu's tolerance, the Iron Armored Air Devouring Gu will be broken or even die."

Countless thoughts kept popping up from the bottom of Li Dong's heart.

Li Dong suddenly understood why none of the powerful people in the myths and legends were insect-controlling masters.

The effort is really not proportional to the reward.

After all, if you want to cultivate any strange insect, you need to pay a lot of effort. Otherwise, even if there are insect eggs, it will be difficult to cultivate it into a strong one.

Just like the Iron-Armored Air-Sucking Gu in Li Dong's hand, at the beginning even ordinary masters could resist it.

After three years of Li Dong's training at all costs, each one of them is capable of threatening a martial arts master.

A group of thousands of them can even kill a cultivator in the late Qi Refining Realm.

Nineteen thousand iron-armored air-sucking insects, as well as the assistance of the secret art of controlling insects, make him invincible at the Qi Refining Realm.

All in all, he seemed very powerful.

But this kind of power is actually very false.

A normal cultivator will become stronger as time goes by. No matter how many battles he goes through, as long as he does not die, he will remain strong, and he may even become stronger because of the battles.

But he is different. He looks very powerful, but if he goes through a series of battles and a large number of Iron-Armored Air-Sucking Gu die, his combat power will drop drastically.

Once upon a time, perhaps I was invincible in the Qi training realm.

After the Iron-Armored Air-Sucking Gu died, he might just be a cultivator at the initial stage of the Qi Refining Realm at the lowest level.

At this moment, Li Dong was extremely grateful that he possessed the blood of the Demonic Dragon, and that he had unexpectedly obtained the Dragon Transformation Technique. His skills, techniques, and bloodline were a perfect match, allowing him to quickly improve his cultivation.

In the future, even if this batch of Iron-Armored Air-Sucking Gu all die, their combat power will not drop due to their death.

Even with his dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, his strength might even be stronger than it is now.

Of course, no one can be sure of the future.

Therefore, these iron-armored air-sucking Gu are still Li Dong’s main reliance. Every time one of them dies, Li Dong feels heartbroken.

"I hope that fewer Iron Armored Air Devouring Gu will die before we leave this city today."

Li Dong sighed a few words with heartache, and immediately lowered his head to look for spoils from these people.

But this time Li Dong’s luck was not as good as last time, and he did not find the space bag.

But he didn't find the space bag, but he still looked for some spirit stones.

Each person has more than twenty spirit stones on his body.

He actually harvested more than 300 spirit stones from these people in one go.

Including the spirit stones he harvested at the beginning, he has already harvested more than 500 spirit stones.

Such a large amount of spirit stones is definitely a huge sum of money.

At least from the fact that a cultivator only carried more than twenty spirit stones, it can be shown that spirit stones are definitely a scarce commodity.

In fact it is.

Although spirit stones can assist in cultivation, ordinary cultivators are reluctant to use them for cultivation on a daily basis.

Usually they would keep these spirit stones and would not use them until they needed a large amount of spiritual energy for a breakthrough.

This time, everyone carried spirit stones with them, simply because they all knew that Canglongcheng would definitely have many cultivators coming to snatch the treasure, and fighting was inevitable.

The spirit stones are only used to quickly restore magic power and to prepare for various emergencies and situations.

But now they died too quickly, so quickly that not much of their true energy was consumed, and the spirit stones were completely useless. Now they are all better off than Li Dong.

"Are you exchanging the Iron Armor Qi Devouring Gu for Spirit Stones?"

"One thousand Iron-armored Air-eating Gu for five hundred spirit stones. If this is the ratio, I will be at a big loss."

"Based on my training of these Iron Armored Air Devouring Gu, I'm afraid it would cost dozens of Spiritual Stones each to convert them into Spiritual Stones."

Countless thoughts kept popping up from the bottom of Li Dong's heart.

Although he had no idea how much the spirit stones were purchased for, he subconsciously felt that the price he paid to cultivate the Iron-Armored Air-Devouring Gu was definitely more valuable than these spirit stones.

After all, he spent three years traveling across the country to cultivate these Iron-Armored Air-Sucking Gu to their current level.

But although I understand that the value is not equal.

Li Dong still hoped to obtain some more spirit stones, even if it meant sacrificing some Iron Armor Air-sucking Gu, he could accept it.

Because compared to external power like the Iron Armor Air-Sucking Gu, he prefers the power that he has cultivated himself and is completely under his control.

Moreover, Li Dong had a hunch that as long as he could break through both the Dragon Transformation Art and the Four Seas Art to the middle stage of the Qi Refining Realm.

By then, even without the Iron Armor Air-Devouring Gu, he would not be afraid of any cultivator.

But all of this must be planned after overcoming the current difficulties.

Because the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand was still emitting bursts of dragon roars, unwilling to be completely refined by him.

At this time, only seven minutes had passed.

He still needs three minutes to completely refine the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand.

During these three minutes, new monks may arrive, so Li Dong cannot let his guard down until the last moment.

The same is true.

When it reached the ninth minute, another group of monks arrived.

There were thirteen of them in total, all wearing the same fiery red Taoist robe, and it was obvious that they were from the same Taoist sect.

Li Dong looked at the thirteen people who appeared, and his eyes were suddenly filled with vigilance.

But the next moment, his alert expression shifted to the sky.

Because a big bird was flying in the sky, a monster bird emitting the power fluctuations of the peak Qi Refining Realm.

There is also a young cultivator on the back of the big bird, who is also emitting the power fluctuations of the peak of the Qi Refining Realm.

The threat posed by the man and the bird to Li Dong was even greater than that posed by the thirteen cultivators.
