At the beginning, you will meet a fox demon and be taught the art of immortality

At the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, in Qingxu Town. In the early morning, before the sun rises, the whole town is shrouded in a thin layer of white mist, like a fairyland. When the first ray of sunlight falls, the white mist becomes more ethereal, making the whole town look like a mirage.

Su Rui looked exhausted and covered in dust as he controlled the light of escape and landed in the courtyard in the center of the town. As soon as he put away the light of escape, a voice full of joy rang in his mind: "Master, you are finally back!"

It turned out that this was the sound made by the little ant he had left here to guard his home. Since Su Rui bought this compound, he had left the little ant and its ant army to guard the house. Now a long time has passed, so the little ant was so excited to welcome his return.

Soon, Su Rui heard a slight rustling sound again. As the sound came, a black cloud rose from the ground and circled around Su Rui.

Su Rui possessed the "Golden Light Pupil of Maori", so he could clearly distinguish the situation in front of him. It turned out that the seemingly ordinary black cloud was actually formed by the gathering of thousands of giant flying ants! These flying ants looked much more ferocious than ordinary ants. Each one was the size of a soybean, with a shiny black shell, flashing a faint black light, as if they were covered with a layer of hard armor. Their heads were huge, their upper jaws were strong and slightly red, their abdomens were swollen, and their tails had sharp tail spikes with a hint of azure blue. When they gathered together, the black light emitted from their bodies connected to each other. If you didn't look closely, it would be easy to mistake it for a real black cloud.

However, in the center of this "black cloud", there is a unique flying ant that is particularly eye-catching. This flying ant is huge, as big as a human finger, and its shell emits a unique dark golden light. On its back grows six pairs of transparent wings that emit a faint halo, and on its head grows a pair of colorful horns in addition to antennae, making it look like the king of ants.

Su Rui gently stretched out his palm, and the little ant stood out from the huge group of flying ants and landed steadily in his palm.

Ever since the little ant followed his master to Tongqu County and took part in the experiment of "Spirit Controlling Technique", he has always been by his side. He can be said to be a "veteran" around his master.

It was not easy for an insignificant little ant to grow up to where he is today after going through so many hardships. Of course, this was due to Su Rui's frequent feeding of various true qi, but this time, after such a long time of separation, the little ant did not cry out for hunger as usual, which made him suspicious.

Despite this, Su Rui could still clearly feel the subtle bond between himself and the little ant. This connection originated from the tacit understanding established when he first fed it the Spirit Controlling Qi.

He once again gathered a ball of colorful mirage in his palm. Since he successfully condensed the mirage dragon phantom body, the light of the mirage became more and more dazzling, and its power was even greater than before. When the little ant saw the mirage, he immediately danced with excitement and jumped into the mirage without hesitation, devouring it frantically at an astonishing speed, and swallowed it all in the blink of an eye.

“Oh my god! When did this little fellow’s teeth become so sharp that he can chew and swallow even his true energy easily?”

In the past, Su Rui had always personally infused the Qi into its body and let it slowly digest it. However, today, it was able to actively devour the Qi, which was truly amazing!

After it had completely devoured the mirage dragon qi, with an unsatisfied look on its face, Su Rui immediately used another ball of Shangqing qi. And the little guy was not picky about food, and still swallowed it up like a whirlwind.

Su Rui wanted to test its limits, so he condensed the Gangsha Qi derived from the combination of Gangsha into a ball and held it in his palm. The little ant seemed to feel the powerful force of the Earth Extreme True Fire Evil and Heavenly Wind contained in the Gangsha Qi, and he could not help but hesitate.

It first looked up at Su Rui's eyes, then glanced at the evil spirit in his palm, and finally mustered up the courage to run forward, carefully bit off a small strand of the evil spirit, and then swallowed it into its stomach. At this moment, Su Rui suddenly found that its body suddenly became stiff.

"Oh my, I'm so burned, master, please save me..."

The voice of the little ant sounded in Su Rui's mind, which scared Su Rui immediately.

Su Rui stretched out his finger, intending to take back the evil spirit it had swallowed, but when he was about to do it, he suddenly changed his mind. He separated a ray of sandalwood glass Buddha light that had condensed into a ball at some point from the Niwan Palace and injected it into the body of the little ant.

A miracle happened, and the little ant's body was covered with colored glaze Buddha light. Su Rui found that although the evil spirit was still eroding the little ant's body, the glimmer of colored glaze Buddha light could always repair the damage in time. However, the speed of repair seemed to be a little behind the destructive power of the evil spirit.

Just one ray of Buddha light seemed not enough, so let's add a few more! Su Rui continuously infused nine ray of true energy into the little ant. Finally, a balance was reached between the Gangsha Qi and the glass Buddha light. At this moment, the little ant no longer shouted for help, but instead made a comfortable grinding sound.

"Isn't it said that all things in the world have spirituality? Ants are also part of the living world. Why don't I tell them some Buddhist scriptures?" Su Rui thought.

Once this idea came into mind, it could no longer be stopped from spreading in Su Rui's mind.

So, Su Rui asked the little ant to gather all the ants under his command to the yard. After the ants gathered together, Su Rui began to preach the "Buddha's Wonderful Sutra for Saving All Living Beings" adapted from the "Buddha's Wonderful Sutra for Saving People" to the ants covering the entire yard!

He recited the newly adapted sutra twice with great emotion, and then stopped. Then, he calmed down and felt the large and small sandalwood glass Buddha lights in his Niwan Palace. Unexpectedly, these Buddha lights actually increased by a few! Although the number was not large, this sudden idea actually worked!

Su Rui was so excited that he quickly closed his eyes and carefully sensed the source of these rays of Buddha light. After some exploration, he was surprised to find that these rays of Buddha light were all concentrated in the core area of ​​the flying ant army around the little ant.

Su Rui thought about it and soon guessed the reason: the "Great and Small Sandalwood Putuo Sutra" he practiced should only work on sentient beings with spiritual intelligence. Although most of the ants in this huge army of ants looked very fierce, they basically acted based on their instincts and could not think, so naturally they did not have the so-called spiritual intelligence.

But this is enough. All we need to do later is let the little ants slowly develop and transmit it!

After completing these tasks, Su Rui asked the little ant to disband its army and prepare to leave Qingxu Town and return to Jinbian Cliff. But at this time, the little ant suddenly stopped him and said that he would take him to meet a few people.

However, when he saw the "people" the little ant was talking about, he was surprised to find that what the little ant was talking about were actually "dead people", and among them there was a "dead monster".

The surface of these corpses did not show many obvious signs of fighting. They were carefully hidden by small ants in the grass in the yard. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't detect their existence at all.

"After the master left, some people would enter the town every once in a while and do whatever they wanted. I remembered what the master had told me, so I led the army to kill them all..."

The little ant's childish voice slowly sounded in Su Rui's mind. Although it did not sound murderous at all, Su Rui felt a hint of chill from it.

Su Rui carefully examined the wounds on the bodies of these people (demons) and indeed found many marks of being bitten by ants. Not only that, he also found a large number of ant corpses on their bodies.

However, what surprised Su Rui even more was that the storage bags and storage rings carried by these people (monsters) were all empty!

"Where did the things inside go?" Su Rui asked the little ant curiously.

"They were all eaten by my ant army..." The little ant raised his head, looked at Suri timidly and answered.

Hearing this answer, Su Rui suddenly understood. This is why the little ant stopped crying hungry after seeing him.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh that the little ants' teeth were really powerful! They didn't eat corpses, but only ate the treasures in the space bag.
