Chapter 17 Spirit Insects

Chapter 17 Spirit Insects

Back at the hut, Zhou Shu immediately took out the few talismans he had obtained and began to study them.

There is no need to look at the three light body talismans, and one firebird talisman is of some value, but just by looking at the talisman pattern, even with the best calculations and deduction, it is impossible to understand the mystery of it, and it is impossible to draw the corresponding talisman. You need to buy the jade slips for drawing talismans, or the guidance of a talisman master.

Last time he saw it at Sanyuan Zhai, the simplest piece of light wind talisman jade slip needed fifty low-grade spirit stones, and the others were even more expensive.

"There is a long way to go."

Looking at the few spirit stones, Zhou Shu could only helplessly.

Without a storage bag, he piled the spirit stones on the futon.

Immediately, he entered the state of cultivation, and he practiced for about an hour a day. The process was complicated and arduous, and the effect was minimal, but he never slacked off.

For him now, cultivation is like torment, a double torment of body and mind.

Less than one-tenth of the absorbed and transformed spiritual power can be preserved in the qi veins and qi sea, which makes people very uncomfortable.

And the excess spiritual power passed through the broken Qi veins, whipping the inside of the body like a whip, causing extreme pain, and then it slowly dissipated.

After an hour passed, Zhou Shu slowly opened his eyes, with a slight doubt on his face.

On the futon in front of him, a black beetle that had been neglected before appeared out of nowhere, lying in the middle of the spirit stone, waving its horns contentedly.

Upon closer inspection, the carapace of the beetle has become much oilier and smoother. As for the spirit stone under the beetle, its original crystal luster has become dimmed, obviously a lot of spirit energy in it has been consumed.

"Could it be cultivating too? Could it be a spirit worm?"

Zhou Shu suddenly became a little interested, and reached out to fish the beetle over.

The beetle held on to a spirit stone, looked at Zhou Shu dissatisfied, and danced with its horns.

Zhou Shu ignored it and used his spiritual power to detect it, and felt a repulsive force when he touched the beetle. This shows that there is also a power similar to spiritual power in the beetle, which is of the same origin but different species.

"It really is a spirit insect."

There was a hint of joy on Zhou Shu's face, and he put it back on the futon. He put the spirit stone in another place, and he couldn't give it all to eat. The spirit stone that maintains the formation must be kept.

The beetle was afraid that Zhou Shu would take it again, so he held down a few spirit stones and stared at him without moving.

Spirit insects are similar to monsters, most of them have no intelligence, and are easier for practitioners to use.

Zhou Shu had seen several kinds of spirit insects in Wuwangmen before, such as earthworms used to plow the ground, and gold-eating insects used to separate ores, but beetles like this that can directly absorb the spiritual energy of spirit stones have never been seen before. seen.

"Although I don't know what it's called and what it's useful for, foodies are generally good things..."

He was very happy.

A day passed, and the day agreed with Yan Yue also arrived.

Sanyuan Zhai at noon is usually very peaceful, but this time it is very lively.

The four female cultivators stood in the hall, went out to look around from time to time, and came back full of disappointment.

A female cultivator walked in from the door, stomped her feet, and said with resentment, "Senior Sister Yan, I have been waiting for an hour, and I don't think that kid will come. He is only at the first level of Qi Refining Realm, how could he have a middle-aged man?" Thunderbolt Talisman? He must have been hiding from it."

Someone followed and said, "That's right, he was talking big and asked Sister Yan to waste time waiting for him. It's really disgusting. Next time I see my mother, I must teach him a lesson!"

Yan Yuexiu lowered her eyes slightly, and sighed slightly sadly.

She also had some thoughts like this in her heart, but she could only comfort her, "Oh, wait a little longer, we have nothing else to do anyway."

Compared to others, only the childish Yang Mei still believed in Zhou Shu, and nodded seriously, "Sister Yan Yue, I believe he can do it, let's wait a little longer."

Not far away, Sun Hedao was picking out talismans. Hearing Yang Mei's words, he let out a cold snort from his nostrils, "He can? Got it?"

Yang Mei pouted, blinked her big eyes twice, and ignored it.

Sun Hedao approached slowly, and said with a smile, "Junior Sister Yan, don't worry, at worst, I beg Master to help you get one."

The female cultivator murmured softly, "I can only talk. I've said it dozens of times, but I don't want to do it at all."

"That's right, it's clear that an inner sect disciple can exchange contribution points for middle-grade talismans, as long as fifty points are enough, but he just doesn't want to. Let it go, and pester Senior Sister Yan every day..."

"It's okay if you don't help, but you still mock others, what kind of man..."

The Heyin Sect is a well-known sect, and there are many talisman masters among them. Naturally, there will be no shortage of first-level middle-grade talismans, but they need to be exchanged with the contribution of the sect, and only inner sect disciples are eligible to exchange them.

The female cultivators knew in their hearts that if Sun Hedao wanted to help, they wouldn't have to be so troublesome as they are now.

Sun Hedao's face swelled slightly, he wanted to say something but didn't say it, he thought to himself, hmph, how valuable the contribution of the sect is, I'm not that stupid to keep it for pills and formulas, and to change talismans to please you.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Yan Yue's face tightened slightly, her eyebrows raised like hooks, "you guys, you know how long-winded, you don't need to bother Senior Brother Sun with such trivial matters as thunderstorm talismans, we can solve them by ourselves. Senior Brother Sun Hedao, they are a little rude, Please don't blame me."

"It's okay, how can I blame you."

Sun Hedao waved his hand and said with a smirk, "How about, junior sister, I will accompany you to do the task? Even if there is no thunderstorm talisman, I am somewhat sure."

With a slight smile on her delicate face, Yan Yue shook her head lightly, "Thank you, brother, for your kindness, but we are the ones to take on this task, so we can only do it ourselves, and it doesn't count if other people finish it."

A trace of disdain flashed quickly in her eyes. The mission she took was a task that many Foundation Establishment disciples were eyeing. Sun Hedao wanted to go with them, saying that it was to help, but I am afraid that there would be more malicious elements in it.

Being rejected again, Sun Hedao was also a little embarrassed, walked aside awkwardly, and started talking to shopkeeper Hua.

After a while, the man pointed to the door and shouted, "Come, come!"

Outside the three-wish fast, Zhou Shu walked quickly with a calm expression.

After entering the door, he saluted shopkeeper Hua and Sun Hedao, then turned to Yan Yue, and cupped his hands apologetically, "Senior Sister Yan Yue, sorry for being late."

Yan Yue took a step forward, her expression slightly anxious, "It's okay, Junior Brother Zhou, do you have the talisman?"

Zhou Shu paused, "Fortunately, I have it."

"ah!"

Yan Yue covered her mouth and exclaimed, she only had one ten-thousandth plan, but she didn't expect a real surprise. The female cultivators on the side also approached one after another, surrounding Zhou Shu in suspicion and joy.

Not far away, Sun Hedao's face changed slightly, and he glanced at him with disdain, "Huh, yellow-mouthed kid, you're not ashamed to speak out."

A few traces of doubt flashed in Hua Ruo'an's eyes, and he shook his head slightly. In his opinion, it was impossible for Zhou Shu to draw a thunderstorm talisman, and he didn't know what was weird about coming here this time.

The guy next to him opened his eyes wide and pricked up his ears, paying attention to Zhou Shu's every move.

A female cultivator impatiently stretched out her hand, "Where is it, take it out and have a look."

"If you dare to lie, even if my senior sister refuses to let me, I will beat you up."

Several female cultivators were chattering, and even Yan Yue, who was usually dignified, was a little restless. On the contrary, Yang Mei was much quieter, she looked at Zhou Shu with wide eyes, full of anticipation.

Zhou Shu smiled, "Senior sister, don't worry, I've brought what you want."

He took out a thunderstorm talisman and handed it to Yan Yue with both hands.

Seeing that Zhou Shu really took out the thunderstorm talisman, all eyes were on this talisman for a while, with different expressions.

The guy's eyes were straightened, he was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed so hard that his body slumped and almost fell.

And Sun Hedao was the most astonished, he was dumbfounded, his mouth was big enough to stuff a dog egg into it.
