Mortal Seeking Immortal

Ye Zhou observed the status of the other spiritual insects in the insect breeding room again. The spiritual insects were all quietly staying in their own compartments, eating or resting.

Ye Zhou walked towards the small compartment for hatching eggs. Several spiritual insects had already hatched and were swallowing their egg shells in the compartments. Ye Zhou placed them in different compartments and fed them with some low-year spiritual plants.

During the four years of raising spiritual insects, Ye Zhou has mastered a lot of knowledge about raising spiritual insects.

For example, about the cultivation of spiritual insect larvae.

Because the insect feeding pills refined by the refinement combine the medicinal properties of many spiritual herbs, the medicinal properties are strong. Feeding them to adults can accelerate the growth and development of adults, but if they are fed to newly hatched spiritual insect larvae, the medicinal properties contained in the pills will instantly suffocate the spiritual insect larvae.

When raising spiritual insect larvae, generally choose low-year spiritual plants to feed them first.

As the larvae grow up, they are slowly replaced with other high-year spiritual plants. After the larvae adapt to the rich spiritual energy contained in the high-year spiritual plants, they are fed with a small amount of insect feeding pills. During the feeding process, they should be observed for any discomfort.

Of course, this method of raising spiritual insect larvae is not suitable for spiritual beetles. For spiritual beetles, the more spiritual energy they are given, the better. Too little spiritual energy will slow down their growth.

Time passed quickly. Ye Zhou spent one hour every day raising and checking the spiritual insects. The rest of the time was spent practicing the "Demon God Body Forging Technique" and occasionally going out to exchange ideas with Gu Feng about refining.

One month later.

Ye Zhou walked to the small insect breeding room as usual and carefully observed the hatching spiritual beetle eggs. This month has made the originally weak spiritual beetle eggs become full of vitality. The rice-sized eggs sucked the spiritual energy provided by the high-year spiritual herbs from the outside world.

"When feeding the five hundred year old Green Blood Grass fruit, it took nearly half a year to hatch the spirit beetle. Now this batch of spirit beetle eggs are all fed with thousand year old spirit plants. I wonder how long it will take for them to hatch?"

While thinking, Ye Zhou suddenly saw a spirit beetle egg lying in the corner of the small compartment seemed to move, "This..."

"It's only been hatched for a month, it's too fast."

Ye Zhou rubbed his eyes and continued to look over, and found that the spirit beetle was actually trembling slightly!

This is a sign that the spirit beetle is about to break out of the shell!

Ye Zhou was excited and simply sat down, carefully observing all the spirit beetle eggs without blinking. Soon, other spirit beetle eggs around him also trembled slightly.

"They are really going to hatch. With so many foodies, the family's wealth will probably be eaten up!"

Ye Zhou was excited and worried.

At this time, he felt that the spirit herbs cultivated by the small gourd seemed to be insufficient.

Ye Zhou quickly cut his finger, squeezed out some blood, and divided the blood into several small portions, and injected them into the spirit beetle eggs in the small compartment. Driven by the spiritual power, the blood soon merged with the other insect eggs.

Now, the spirit beetles are about to hatch and will have consciousness. It is necessary to inject the soul mark to connect with Ye Zhou's soul when their consciousness is still weak, and complete the process of recognizing the master.

When the first spirit beetle hatched, Ye Zhou forced it to recognize the master, and it took a lot of effort to use powerful soul suppression to make it completely surrender.

This is the difference between an outsider and an insider.

After injecting the soul mark, Ye Zhou did not leave, but meditated on the spot to practice the "Demon God Body Forging Technique", just like a father waiting for the birth of his child.

After more than ten hours, the insect eggs placed in the small compartment began to twist violently and frequently, and then a series of slight "clicks" sounded from the insect eggs, and most of the insect eggs had a small crack.

Then, under Ye Zhou's excited eyes, hundreds of black spirit beetles broke free from the eggshells through the cracks, crawled out of the shells, stretched out their soft wings buried under the shells in the compartments, and felt the breath of the outside world.

Two quarters of an hour later, most of the spirit beetles had broken out of their shells, leaving only dozens of spirit beetles still struggling with the eggshells that wrapped them. Soon, all of these spirit beetles successfully broke out of their shells.

However, during the process of breaking out of the shells, some spirit beetles failed to break out of the shells because the shells took too long or for some reasons of their own. The vitality in the eggs dissipated, and their lives forever stayed at the moment of breaking out of the shells.

Looking at these dead spirit beetles, Ye Zhou sighed slightly in his heart. While feeling sorry, he did not forget to put them together with the bad eggs, which would become food for feeding other spirit insects.

After the hatched more than 500 spirit beetles stretched their wings, they all lay on the high-year spirit plants and began to devour them crazily. The high-year spirit plants that Ye Zhou fed were disappearing at a terrifying speed visible to the naked eye.

Ye Zhou felt a little distressed and a little proud.

"If we release all these spirit beetles when fighting the enemy, the opponent will probably be devoured by these foodies without leaving any residue!"

"It's a pity that these newly hatched spirit beetles are only at the fourth level of Qi training after hatching, whether because the incubation time is too short or they are trapped in the eggs for too long. They are far inferior to the previous spirit beetle. Although there are many of them, they are still no match for the foundation-building cultivator."

"And these spirit beetles seem to have no spiritual intelligence, and they only know how to devour."

Ye Zhou seemed to have discovered the huge difference between these spirit beetles and the first one he got. Their strength was obviously not as good as that one, and he sighed with a little disappointment.

After observing the array of spirit beetles again, he found that they were not unusual. Ye Zhou reached out and took out the jade box that contained the spirit beetle from his arms, and released it to let it get familiar with its kind.

The spirit beetle in the jade box did not get intimate with its kind as Ye Zhou expected, but rubbed Ye Zhou's hand to please it.

Ye Zhou thought that it was the most special and powerful one, and he should give it a name to distinguish it from this group of ordinary spirit beetles.

Ye Zhou touched the back shell of the spirit beetle and said, "Since there are many black dots on your back shell, why don't you call it Xiaoyuan."

The spirit beetle seemed to understand that Ye Zhou had named it. It fluttered its wings excitedly, flew around Ye Zhou several times, and then landed on Ye Zhou's hand. Its tiny claws held Ye Zhou's index finger and rubbed it hard, seeming to be very satisfied with the name Ye Zhou gave it.

"Okay, Xiaoyuan, go play with your companions, teach them all your skills, and you will be the king among them in the future!"

Ye Zhou reached into the small compartment where the formation was set up, and put Xiaoyuan on a piece of open space in the compartment.

The moment Xiaoyuan landed, all the spirit beetles in the compartment that were eating the spirit plants stopped their movements at the same time, and looked at Xiaoyuan in fear.
