Chapter 546: Strange Insects, Spirit Insects

As for this, Qin Sang had quite a bit of experience during the foundation-building stage.

He was able to make it this far. During the Foundation Establishment period, he possessed the strength of a cultivator at the same level. While his cultivation technique is certainly important, it couldn't have been done without various external factors.

Besides the magical artifacts, the greatest help came from choosing another path in necromancy.

One of the characteristics of Tian Shi Zong's corpse refining art is to quickly enhance combat effectiveness.

Unfortunately, Qin Sang only had the first half of the "Heavenly Yin Corpse Scripture." He hadn't tried to find the second half. Whenever he had free time, he would inquire about news from the Heavenly Corpse Sect, but he never found anything.

Although the Flying Demon is powerful, that's all there is to it;

Just like a corpse, the moment it's refined, its power reaches its peak. In the early stage of Golden Core, Flying Night Demon is indeed a good help, but as cultivation advances further, it will become a burden.

Even when Qin Sang was refining corpses, he couldn't find a way to improve. He didn't have any ideas about how to enhance the Flying Heavenly Asura.

I wonder if the Tian Shi Zong has other secret techniques, like refining the Corpse Pill, that can further enhance the strength of the Flying Night Demon.

Other sects' corpse refining techniques are clearly not on the same path as the Heavenly Corpse Sect.

The only thing worth learning from is to use these methods of refining corpses in the art of alchemy. Try to see if it can help the flying night demon break through the limitations of the Heavenly Corpse Talisman.

Qin Sang must be prepared for the future and not limit himself to one path.

After Qin Sang thoroughly studied the and the refined essence of the Jindan cultivation, he couldn't help but sigh with a closed book. Like the , which could be quickly cultivated without requiring too much effort, he could no longer find such a secret method.

Whether it is the Way of Spirit Formations or the Way of Beast Taming, it will inevitably require a great deal of effort.

Without sufficient mastery of the Way of Spirit Arrays, it is impossible to understand The Remaining Records of the Taixuan Array. Unless Qin Sang finds a master of spirit arrays to guide him and start from scratch.

However, Qin Sang did not give up completely. He often pondered over this scroll, drawing inferences about other matters and gaining some insight into the way of restrictions himself.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

The Path of Beasts is not easy to tread.

Although the insights of the Jindan cultivator from the Yu Ling Zong were not obscure, it is difficult to achieve something without the necessary materials.

The way of taming beasts is equally profound and intricate.

Spirit beasts come in the varieties of bird, beast, fish, and insect.

For beast tamers, there are some like snake mothers who specialize in raising a single spirit beast, feeding it their essence blood and binding their lifespans together. The spirit beast's strength is no less than its master's, and when facing an enemy, they have the effect of two against one.

Some, however, went in the opposite direction of the snake charmers, overwhelming them with sheer numbers.

There are also those who excel at cultivating venomous beasts and gathering all sorts of strange and exotic poisons, and those demonic cultivators who are masters of poison arts share the same goal.

In that Jindan's insights, it was also mentioned that the Yuling Sect had a method of forming formations with beasts, called beast arrays. The most powerful beast array was no different from those famous spirit arrays, but the requirements were extremely demanding.

That Jindan cultivator was also a bit of a specialist, but he wasn't interested in any of the things listed above. He was most interested in the art of controlling insects within the Beast Taming path. His notes focused heavily on this aspect of insect control.

To put this experience into practice, I could only follow the same path as him. It's no wonder that old folks back then collected those strange and peculiar insects.

The difficulty is obvious: it takes a lot of effort to find and cultivate those peculiar insects.

Thinking of this, Qin Sang couldn't help but feel regret.

Back then, at the ancient Xiu's manor, he snatched food from the tiger's mouth, only getting hold of the old man's mustard seed bag. He didn't get the spirit beast pouch, otherwise things would be much easier now.

Spiritual Worms are alright, though rare. Even with a Dan Formation cultivator's strength, they aren't difficult to find. But their potential pales in comparison to Strange Insects. They're similar to Qingfu Worms; it takes considerable effort to cultivate them to adulthood and they can only be used as auxiliaries.

Actually, in the cultivation world, there is no clear distinction between "qi insects" and "spirit insects," they are all collectively called "spirit insects." The term "qi insects" is a rule privately established by the Spirit Beast Sect.

They listed the insects they considered to be strange.

On the one hand, there is whether they possess powerful and strange abilities, on the other hand, there is how much potential they have.

Here is the translation of your text:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! I can handle a variety of languages.

The potential of strange creatures is higher.

Some of these strange creatures need to go through multiple molts before they become adults. The strength of an adult can even rival that of a cultivator in the nascent soul stage, or even surpass it!

But not only are they extremely hard to find, each kind of strange insect is difficult to come by, and cultivating them is extremely challenging.

>The conditions for transformation are extremely harsh, comparable to a human cultivator breaking through a realm.

The classics of the Yuling Sect are recorded.

Before they reach adulthood, Qichong and Lingchong undergo their first molting transformation after hatching, which is comparable to a human cultivator establishing their foundation. The second molting transformation is akin to forming an elixir pill, and subsequent transformations follow suit.

Spiritual insects can only molt once or at most twice before reaching adulthood, while strange insects have the potential to molt at least three times.

The difficulty of transformation increases with each passing time.

Especially after adulthood, potential is depleted, unless there are extraordinary circumstances, there is basically no possibility of transformation.

However, having potential doesn't necessarily mean transformation.

Back then, the ground was lacking elderly people, and no one knew how long they had been with the Fire Jade Centipedes. They had already grown to the limit of their molting, but they still couldn't begin their first molt, so they could only use them to find treasure.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Because the Yuling Sect also didn't know how to help the Huo Yu Centipede molt.

The Yuling Sect's understanding of strange insects is actually limited, simply because there are very few strange insects left in the current cultivation world, and not many cultivators have truly come into contact with them.

They record only a few kinds of strange insects that underwent metamorphosis and the auxiliary spiritual herbs required through classical texts or their predecessors' experience.

And it's basically limited to the first two times.

Just like Qin Sang's blood-winged ghost bees, I don't know how to help them, so I can only let them fend for themselves.

If it weren't for the two fire jade centipedes having the chance encounter with a red golden vine fruit that could help the spirit worm break through, they might still be unable to transform.

The blood-winged ghost hornets are even worse; their growth stagnates before they reach their first molt, and even giving them Red Flame Golden Liquid is useless.

Qin Sang only had one crimson vine fruit in his hand. The amount of red fire gold was limited, so naturally, it wouldn't be wasted on them.

After much deliberation, Qin Sang couldn't make up his mind. He could only take it one step at a time. If he was lucky enough to encounter a strange insect that could be cultivated, he would consider the path of beast taming later on.

Besides, one doesn't necessarily have to choose between them.

Shaohua Mountain is one of the Eight Sects of the Righteous Path, with many cultivators at the Infant and Core Formation stages within its ranks.

After he has successfully formed his Golden Core, he can ask for advice from them or consult those cultivation manuals that only cultivators in the Golden Core stage can access. Perhaps he can find a secret technique that is more suitable for him.

Having figured these things out, Qin Sang no longer worried and turned his attention to refining weapons.

He had spent over twenty years studying the art of refining weapons. Although he wasn't as skilled as the master weapon refiners, he was still quite capable. Even after forming his alchemy core, he couldn't neglect this craft.

In the future, Qin Sang would prepare to refine all his own magic treasures.

Qin Sang secretly relied on.

After the Dan is refined, you might as well make friends with a few Taoists from the Xuling School and ask them for advice. After all, your refining techniques come from Wu shopkeeper, openly and honestly.

There must also be treasured manuals on artifact refining within the sect. Though they may not be as profound as those of the Xu Ling Sect, they can still be studied.h spike.'Bang! Bang!
