Chapter 154: Gains, Bamboo Pole!
Martial arts should be practiced openly.
I can show kindness without expecting anything in return, but you should at least know what I have done for you.
If before obtaining the King's Spirit Crystal, Liu Zimo was not very good at demonstrating his ability to exterminate parasites in front of Zhang Zhenren, then everything is different now.
With the help of the King's Spirit Crystal, he doesn't even need to invade someone's sea of consciousness anymore to easily expel and lure out those devouring spirit bugs that reside in the sea of consciousness space!
Just like now.
After moving all the seventy-four Taoists who were controlled by the devouring spirit bugs over here.
Liu Zimo calmly took out the shining golden King's Spirit Crystal.
Quietly activating his spiritual power, the golden light on the surface of the crystal suddenly burst out, instantly enveloping everyone present.
Liu Zimo and his disciples, as well as Zhang Daoxian and the others, did not sense anything unusual. However, the seventy-four Taoists whose sea of consciousness was controlled all trembled at the same time.
Then, their foreheads and brows opened wide, and a small flying insect with double wings and six legs emerged from each of them!
Seventy-four in total!
They were fixed in front of each Dragon and Tiger Taoist, staring blankly at the golden light emitted by the King's Spirit Crystal in Liu Zimo's hand, motionless.
"It's these little bugs!"
Zhang Daoxian exclaimed in his heart.
Seeing these small insects again, and so many of them appearing at once, the old Daoist couldn't help but narrow his eyes. His years of cultivating qi and maintaining calmness were once again broken!
Just now, he had probed the minds of these elders and true disciples, but he didn't find anything abnormal.
It shows how powerful and terrifying the hiding ability of these demonic bugs is!
You should know that he is a cultivator of the Lingyuan Holy Realm, with a powerful and extremely sensitive spiritual consciousness.
If even he couldn't detect the presence of these small bugs under such well-prepared conditions, then the other cultivators who were below him in cultivation level would be even less capable!
In fact.
If it weren't for Liu Guwen taking out this crystal emitting golden light, attracting all the bugs out at once and imprisoning them on the spot.
Who could have imagined that every disciple and true disciple of Longhu Mountain had been parasitized by such terrifying devouring spirit bugs?!
Before this, even their Longhu Mountain's supreme spirit beast, Linglong Zunzhe, didn't notice any abnormalities, right?
Now, Longhu Mountain has truly become a nest of bugs!
If it weren't for Liu Guwen's righteous intervention today, the inheritance of Longhu Mountain's Taoism would be a big problem in the future!
In the midst of Zhang Daoxian's shock, Liu Zimo also took a moment to glance at the seventy-four people standing in the hall.
Upon seeing that among these seventy-four people, three had purple locks on their heads and nine had red auras, he couldn't help but feel delighted.
Without hesitation, he directly locked onto the shadows above their heads!
At the same time, the prompt sound gradually rang in his ears:
[Binding successful! Your good brother Mingchen Daoist has come online. Currently bindable objects (76/100)]
[...]
[Binding successful! Your good brother Jinghan Daoist has come online. Currently bindable objects (87/100)]
Done!
He bound thirteen "good brothers" and "good sisters" in one go. A smile appeared on Liu Zimo's face.
Swipe!
At this moment, Zhang Zhenren next to him suddenly raised his hand and directly slapped the nearest devouring spirit flying insect, as if he wanted to slap it to death.
Result.
The right palm, enveloped in fierce internal energy, actually passed through the insect, as if it had passed through a light and shadow, without touching the body of the small insect.
"Hmm? It's actually a spiritual body?!"
"No wonder, no wonder it can hide and reside in the sea of consciousness of spiritual cultivation!"
Seeing that the attack was ineffective, Zhang Daoxian immediately reacted.
These creatures have no physical form and their bodies are between reality and illusion!
Ordinary physical attacks have no effect on them at all!
Such spiritual creatures are just like the Primordial Spirit they transform with their spiritual power.
They have no physical form, but they exist in reality and are immune to all physical attacks!
Since the identity of the opponent's spiritual body has been figured out, they can only use spiritual power to attack and kill!
Spiritual attacks are their specialty in spiritual cultivation, right?
Zhang Daoxian even breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Although spiritual creatures are strange, they can still be killed.
Their Dragon and Tiger Sect specializes in eliminating and saving these strange creatures. It's their expertise!
Therefore, without much thought, Zhang Daoxian directly released his own spiritual cultivation and spiritual consciousness.
The spiritual consciousness transformed into a blade, directly slashing towards the small flying insect that had already been imprisoned.
Whoosh!
The spiritual blade entered the body, and the small flying insect only trembled slightly, then quickly returned to normal. Not only did it not suffer any damage, but its aura became even stronger and more vigorous.
What's even more outrageous is that Zhang Daoxian found that the strand of spiritual consciousness he attacked the small flying insect with had completely lost contact with him and disappeared!
"It actually devoured all of my spiritual consciousness?!"
Soon, Zhang Daoxian, who realized what had happened, suddenly changed his expression.
He had never encountered such a strange spiritual body before!
It can directly devour and assimilate both spiritual power and spiritual consciousness. How the hell do you fight against that?
If they continue to fight, they are just serving themselves as food!
"No wonder Advisor Liu called these little bugs devouring spirit insects. It turns out they really feed on the spiritual consciousness of spiritual cultivators!"
"These creatures are natural enemies of spiritual cultivation!"
When Zhang Daoxian realized that neither martial arts attacks nor spiritual cultivation methods could harm these demonic insects in the slightest.
He became even more aware of the horror and terror of these small insects!
The normal attack methods possessed by human martial artists and spiritual cultivators seemed to have no effect on these demonic insects!
What else could they be if not natural enemies?
To verify his own speculation, Zhang Daoxian began to use various spiritual illusions, martial arts secret techniques, and even took out the sect's treasured spiritual weapon.
The result was that all of these attacks on the devouring spirit insects were completely ineffective!
It's too terrifying!
They have power but nowhere to use it, their attacks are like nothing, and they can even continuously devour spiritual power and spiritual consciousness to strengthen themselves!
These bugs are simply invincible!
At this moment, after experiencing the horror of the Soul Devouring Worm, the old Taoist became even more curious. What method did Liu Zimo use to be able to kill these Soul Devouring Worms?!
"Just use the will of martial arts!"
Liu Zimo didn't hide anything and directly explained to Zhang Daoxian, who had doubts in his heart.
"The will of martial arts at the Master level and above is extremely tough and sharp. It can easily cut open the bodies of these small bugs and extract the spirit crystals from their lower abdomen, causing them to die instantly!"
"Of course, the premise is that you have to be able to detect their presence and imprison them before they invade and control your spiritual sea!"
As he spoke, Liu Zimo's mind moved, and the martial will of the Transcendent level instantly erupted, dividing into seventy-four strands of cold light, attacking the seventy-four second-stage Soul Devouring Worms floating outside.
Puff!
Seventy-four shining deep blue second-stage spirit crystals were all cut out!
The Soul Devouring Worms that Zhang Daoxian couldn't harm at all just a moment ago let out a mournful scream and died instantly when their spirit crystals were cut out.
Swish!
With a wave of Liu Zimo's hand, all the second-stage spirit crystals were collected.
The remaining seventy-four spiritual bodies were not wasted either, as they were all drawn into his spiritual sea by his released spiritual consciousness.
For opportunities like this, which have no requirements for aptitude and can directly expand the spiritual sea and enhance spiritual power cultivation, he preferred to enjoy them alone.
The seventy-four spiritual bodies entered the sea and quickly dissolved and decomposed.
Soon, they turned into extremely pure spiritual origins and merged into the spiritual power cultivation of Liu Zimo himself.
Boom!
The spiritual sea shook incessantly, and the boundaries of space expanded by more than 20,000 meters again!
The progress of Liu Zimo's cultivation at the mid-stage of the Spirit Abyss realm also advanced by two hundredths of a thousandth.
At this point, Liu Zimo's overall progress in cultivation had already reached more than seven hundredths of the mid-stage of the Spirit Abyss realm, more than half!
Liu Zimo was in a great mood.
He never expected that this trip to Longhu Mountain would bring such a big surprise just at the beginning!
It's really unexpected!
Liu Zimo sighed in his heart. If he had known that he could gain such great rewards by coming to Longhu Mountain, he should have come earlier!
Beside him,
Zhang Daoxian looked at Liu Zimo in astonishment, unexpectedly killing all the Soul Devouring Worms so easily.
It felt like a dream, everything was so unreal.
The martial will turned out to be the nemesis of these terrifying creatures?
Zhang Daoxian really didn't expect this.
However, even if he knew now, it was as if he didn't know.
He was a spiritual cultivator, and although his martial arts cultivation was not weak, he had been unable to break through to the Master realm.
With his current martial will at the Golden Body realm, even if he displayed it, it would be in vain.
Moreover, he didn't have the ability to detect the aura of these Soul Devouring Worms in advance.
Let alone imprison their bodies and cut out the spirit crystals inside them.
So, although the method was good, they couldn't use it, what a pity!
In this world, besides the current consultant Liu, it's unlikely that anyone else can employ the same methods, right?
However, when it comes to spirit crystals, Zhang Daoxian's gaze couldn't help but fall on the seventy-four deep blue crystals that were just extracted from the belly of the devouring spirit insect.
He just discovered it.
These spirit crystals are surprisingly similar to the golden spirit crystal that Liu Zimo took out earlier to lure the devouring spirit insect, except for their color and size. The shape, aura, and surface star patterns of these spirit crystals are almost identical!
"Liu, could it be that the golden crystal in your hand was also obtained from a devouring spirit insect?" Zhang Daoxian asked Liu Zimo in a low voice.
Since the golden spirit crystal has the effect of luring and even imprisoning the devouring spirit insect, could these blue spirit crystals also have the same function?
If their Dragon Tiger Mountain could have such a crystal that can detect and imprison the devouring spirit insect, they wouldn't be completely defenseless when encountering these little bugs in the future.
"This is the King's Spirit Crystal, obtained after I killed a King Realm devouring spirit insect!" Liu Zimo naturally saw through the old Taoist's thoughts and said softly, "This item is not only a spirit crystal but also a special spiritual treasure. It has the power to control and deter low-level devouring spirit insects!"
"But unfortunately, King Realm devouring spirit insects are rare, and capturing and successfully killing one is as difficult as reaching the heavens."
"At least, so far, there should only be one on the entire Earth."
With this last sentence, Zhang Daoxian's desire to exchange for a King's Spirit Crystal from Liu Zimo was directly cut off.
How could such a unique treasure be easily transferred to someone else?
Moreover, Liu Zimo's martial arts cultivation and spiritual cultivation realm were both above his. Even if he wanted to kill for treasure, he didn't have the ability to do so!
"However, although the King's Spirit Crystal is rare, these First and Second Order Spirit Crystals are not."
"If the real person is worried about being attacked by devouring spirit insects in the future, you might as well try refining these low-level spirit crystals."
"As long as you incorporate them into your sea of consciousness and nurture them, they will have the same effect of isolating the invasion of devouring spirit insects!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Daoxian's eyes lit up.
Even though these blue spirit crystals didn't have the extraordinary effects of the King's Spirit Crystal, as long as they could prevent the devouring spirit insects from invading their own sea of consciousness, they would still be considered precious!
After experiencing being invaded and controlled by devouring spirit insects, Zhang Daoxian was almost traumatized. If there was no effective way to resist a second invasion by devouring spirit insects, he would have to live in constant fear.
Therefore, the First and Second Order Spirit Crystals that Liu Zimo now presented were like a lifesaving straw to Zhang Daoxian.
"I feel a deep connection with the real person, so I will give you the best quality Second Order Spirit Crystal!" Liu Zimo casually pushed the best quality and darkest-colored one out of the seventy-four Second Order Spirit Crystals in front of Zhang Daoxian.
"Thank you for your generosity, Consultant Liu!" Zhang Daoxian was grateful. He didn't expect that Consultant Liu would be so generous and understanding, giving away such precious spirit crystals so easily.
After bowing and expressing his gratitude to Liu Zimo, Zhang Daoxian spoke up.
"However, I cannot accept Consultant Liu's gift for nothing!"
"Also, the elders and true disciples in our Dragon Tiger Mountain also have a need for these refined spirit crystals. I wonder if Consultant Liu can do us a favor and exchange more for us?"
Upon hearing this, the corners of Liu Zimo's mouth slightly curved.
He knew that Zhang Daoxian wouldn't give up on these elders and true disciples by his side!
Sure enough, if someone actively came to offer a deal, wouldn't it be a waste not to take advantage of it?
Dragon Tiger Mountain has been an ancient sect that has been passed down since ancient times. There must be no shortage of martial arts techniques, secret arts, and treasures of heaven and earth within the sect.
