Chapter Six Hundred and Forty-Two: The Mirage Lantern

there were noticeably fewer people behind him.After a while, Grandma Jing arrived as well.Qin Sang, who had been eagerly anticipating this, finally let out a sigh of relief.Old Mrs. Jing still looked...The kind of spiritual insect Qin Sang was looking for was called a Midnight Cicada. It looked similar to common cicadas, but preferred dark and damp environments. It absorbed yin energy day and night, hence its name.

After leaving the Xiong Shan region, Qin Sang disguised himself and visited several markets to contact various factions and gather information. Ultimately, he chose nine types of spiritual insects as his targets.

Among the strange insects listed on the Strange Insect Ranking, five of them are possessed by Qin Sang. Some people know how to cultivate them, while others do not.

However, Qin Sang had the Chihuo Liujin in his hand, and he was not too worried before the third transformation at least. The abilities of these strange insects were very unique and fascinating.

Common spirit insects also come in four types. They may not have high potential, but their magical powers are formidable, capable of providing great assistance during the core formation stage. This is Qin Sang's second-best choice, a backup plan for when needed.

The rumors and records he collected were not necessarily reliable.

The spiritual worm may have migrated, encountered a natural enemy, been captured by humans, or even metamorphosed and left its habitat. All of these possibilities are conceivable.

Qin Sang felt that out of these nine kinds of spirit insects he had chosen, finding even one would be a success.

He has high standards and is prepared to spend time and effort debugging.

Mìchūn is one of the six strange insects.

Meizu is highly regarded on the Qichong list.

In the first two transformations, Migi's abilities were unimpressive, much like most spirit insects. It wasn't until the third transformation, or even later, that drastic changes occurred.

After the third transformation, Mingchun could materialize the yin energy within his body into a black sword. This sword was extremely fast and incredibly sharp, rivaling even genuine magical swords in terms of power. When Mingchun didn't activate it, there was no trace of its presence whatsoever.

If you stay still, nothing happens. But if you move, it's like a bolt from the blue!

A Gu cultivator obtains a three-transformed Dark Cicada, which is equivalent to gaining an extremely sharp dagger. It doesn't consume the cultivator's spiritual consciousness, making it incredibly insidious and hard to guard against.

Qin Sang liked it very much.

So his first goal was to eliminate Mingshun.

However, the mid-day cicada ranked lower than the hornets on the Wuchi list and was at the end of the list. No one dared to choose it as their natal insect Gu.

> For the very reason that ming chun's metamorphosis is extremely difficult and its lifespan long, growing slowly. If not for a certain method, even a cultivator at the結丹 period might not see a ming chun begin its third transformation in their entire lifetime.

Qin Sang mastered several methods of raising strange insects, one of which was the Mycelium Shield Bug.

The Yuling Sect found a fragmentary method of cultivating the Midnight Cicada from ancient cultivator scriptures. It requires several Yin-Cold Spirit Pills to be configured and used together, which will accelerate the growth speed of the Midnight Cicada several times over.

Once, a monk saw a two-spotted stink bug in this wasteland. Before he could react, the stink bug burrowed into a cave and vanished.

Qin Sang only had this one piece of information: to catch the Midnight Cicada, he first needed to find the Earth Cave.

"I've scoured most of the wasteland, but I still haven't found the cave. Could an earthquake have happened here, changing the terrain"

Qin Sang secretly relied on himself, his gaze swept across the vast wasteland, and decided to change direction.

Without taking two steps, Qin Sang let out a soft cry and suddenly stopped. Then, with a flash of his sword light, he leaped a thousand feet to the left, hanging in mid-air and gazing down.

"Found it!"

Wild grasses had spread, completely covering the entrance to the grotto. Qin Sang was about to strike it open with his sword, but he thought better of it and sheathed his ebony blade instead, slipping silently into the grotto.

The cave was extremely deep, and Qin Sang fell for a full incense stick of time before seeing a valley at the bottom. The underground was incredibly cold, just as the twilight moth preferred.

However, after seeing the chasm in the ground, Qin Sang began to get a headache again.

I never expected the range to be this vast, with countless branches, even more complex than the sinkholes of Shaohua Mountain. Searching for a tiny cicada nymph in such a place is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

It's a shame that the Flying Sky Demons can't get too far from him, otherwise searching separately would be more efficient.

Mìchūn likes the cold and shade, his strength increases the stronger he becomes. Qin Sang decided to directly enter the deepest part of the earth cave.

He summoned the flying night demon, plunging down rapidly. The deeper they went, the colder and more eerie it became. Feeling that was enough, Qin Sang took out some bottles and jars from his Qianjun Ring, containing powders or medicinal liquids, scattering them along the way.

These are all secret medicines used to attract insects. Some were bought by Qin Sang from Wuzhu cultivators, and some were refined by himself according to the prescriptions of Yulingzong. He prepared a lot.

This method is effective for some spirit insects.

Qin Sang wasn't sure if he could lure the Migun, but he decided to give it a try.

The chilling feeling grew more intense, as if it were seeping into his bones. Qin Sang was forced to activate his true energy to protect himself, and after diving deeper, he heard the sound of trickling water coming from below.

Qin Sang was secretly surprised, and only after looking down did he realize that it was yin energy mixed into the underground river, turning the river water gray, so it wouldn't freeze.

Standing by the dark river, Qin Sang looked up.

Along the way, he scattered dozens of insect-luring potions, but not a single spirit worm came.

This is also a good thing.

Except in special circumstances, every spirit worm has its own territory and does not allow other spirit worms to invade. If there are other spirit worms, it means the Ming Chun is no longer alive.

Qin Sang observed the underground environment and began searching along the dark river. With his divine sense and insect-attracting elixir, he spared no corner.

The grotto was like a giant maze. Qin Sang searched for a whole day but found nothing.

In the end, Qin Sang gave up and returned to where he started.

Qin Sang came to a protruding rock by the Dark River. After carefully studying the surrounding terrain, he moved his mind, and the Flying Sky Asura leaped into the Dark River and lurked at the bottom.

Next, Qin Sang took out a jade bottle from the Qianjun Ring.

The jade vase held a crimson fluid, viscous and thick as rubies, gleaming with an intoxicating luster. Within the fluid, golden flashes flickered occasionally, most peculiar.

This is the fruit of the Chijin Teng, Chihuo Liu Jin!

During the Small Cold period, it is difficult to find domain spirits. Qin Sang obtained the Crimson Fire Golden after a long time without finding an opportunity to use it. Now, it is finally time for it to come into play.

Qin Sang dared to venture deep into the Western Regions alone, relying on mere rumors and speculation, because he had this.

Red fire and gold can help spirit worms transform, attracting them immensely. It's more effective than any other worm-attracting secret recipe, a unique advantage others don't have.

The insect-luring concoctions were useless, Qin Sang could only resort to using the Crimson Fire Gold Glaze.

It's enough to simply radiate the aura of crimson fire and gold.

At the same time, Qin Sang opened the insect box at his waist and took out a few ghost head bee larvae.

Other spirit insect larvae are also excellent bait, especially those that have undergone bloodline mutation. Their alluring power is even stronger. Combined with the above, Qin Sang didn't believe that the Mycelium Bug would remain indifferent.

Now, Qin Sang has lost interest in cultivating blood-winged ghost bees.

Losing the potential for transformation, even countless Blood-winged Hornets could only threaten cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Qin Sang urged his true essence to seize the blood-winged ghost bee larvae, erasing their consciousness. Then he opened the jade bottle and carefully drew out a wisp of crimson fire gilded, smearing it on them.

He first threw several of them into the distance, leaving behind the one with the most paint on it, which he placed on the stone pedestal.
