Chapter 161 Silverline Mantis
"The formation of the fourth rank is a thousand illusory clouds and smoke formation, and the spiritual plant of the third rank is extraordinary. It is not in vain that I have carefully cultivated you for so long."
Looking at the upside-down formation plate in his hand, Lu Xuan had a look of surprise on his face.
He was worried about the protection of the small courtyard in Jianmen Town, but he didn't expect to be solved so quickly by the light group reward brought by Huanyan Luoguo.
In the small courtyard, there are currently three kinds of spiritual plants planted, namely the third-rank ghost-faced stone mushroom, the third-rank thorn bone, and the fourth-rank white-eyed trick tree. Each plant is extremely precious and cannot be lost in the slightest.
And I have to focus on the sect, so I can only go over occasionally to have a look. In this case, worry is inevitable.
Although Jianmen Town is not far from the Heavenly Sword Sect, there is no need to worry about any monsters invading. Most of the monks in the town also have close relationships with the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect. It is difficult to guarantee that someone will not be malicious.
Now, with the Thousand Illusionary Cloud and Smoke Array that integrates the illusion array, maze array, and killing array, Lu Xuan doesn't have to worry about this problem.
He put the formation plate and phantom smoke fruit into the storage bag. The spirit fruit was originally intended to be swallowed by the cloud stepping lynx, but considering its pair of eyes are only good at distinguishing evil spirits, he took the phantom smoke fruit that enhances the ability of illusion The effect is not big, so give up.
In the next few days, he spent most of his time in the cave, cultivating spiritual plants and raising spiritual beasts. From time to time, he went to Qianlong Lake to feed the remaining dragons and giant pythons.
Linghe refused to accept his spirit stones every time he went there. After frequent visits, Lu Xuan had no choice but to give up this idea and bring some ordinary spirit fruits for daily hospitality as a token of gratitude.
The rest of the time is used to practice skills and spells. Although it may not be as good as a spirit firefly grass after several months of practice, it can improve a little bit.
The days are extremely leisurely, especially after picking the third-grade magic smoke fruit and getting the fourth-grade thousand magic clouds and smoke array, I feel more contented and a little more satisfied.
"Junior Brother Lu, are you at home? I received a monster eye pupil task that you released earlier, so I came here to hand over it to you."
Outside the courtyard, there was a cold female voice.
"Here I am."
Lu Xuan responded, and hurriedly ran to open the courtyard door.
A female editor with an elegant temperament stopped in front of the door.
The female nun entered the yard, randomly found a wooden pier and sat down, and took out three slender transparent bottles from the storage bag.
The bottle is filled with a light green liquid, which is soaked with all kinds of monster eyes. Each eye pupil is full of vitality, as if it has just been cut from the head of a monster.
"I went out this time and got fourteen complete monster eyes, ten of them were from first-grade monsters, four were from second-grade monsters, and each one was taken out not long ago, and kept fresh with special spiritual liquid. , should be able to meet Junior Brother Lu's request."
Cultivator Qingya said slowly.
Lu Xuan took the bottle, penetrated his spiritual sense into it, felt the freshness of the pupils, and confirmed that what the female cultivator said was true.
"This eye pupil is quite special. It is derived from the one-eyed wild rhinoceros, a second-grade monster. It has amazing brute strength and a certain illusion ability."
The female cultivator saw Lu Xuan looking at a huge dark pupil in the bottle, and explained aloud.
Hearing this, Lu Xuan nodded slightly.
"Senior Sister, according to the requirements of the task, each first-rank monster has ten spirit stones, and the three second-rank monster eyes are relatively ordinary. I would like to buy them at the price of thirty spirit stones each.
This one-eyed and sharp eye pupil is a little special, fifty spirit stones, what do you think, senior sister? "
Ms. Qingya hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
These monsters were originally her other task to hunt, and removing the pupils was just a matter of convenience. Although Lu Xuan's asking price was a little lower, it is already very good to earn such a large amount of extra money.
Lu Xuan handed over 240 spirit stones to Qingya female cultivator, and took the dozen or so monster eyes from her.
"The cost of planting high-grade spiritual plants is a bit high. The fourth-grade hundred-eyed trick tree cost me more than two hundred spirit stones at once."
"The spirit firefly grass is still real, and it can grow with an aura environment."
"However, high-grade ranks have the benefits of high-grade ranks. These initial investments are nothing compared to the value of Lingzhi itself, not to mention, I still have a light group reward!"
After the female cultivator left, Lu Xuan returned to the house, looked at the dozen or so pupils floating in the light green liquid, and couldn't help sighing.
He put all the pupils in the birth bag, which can ensure their freshness to the greatest extent.
"Junior brother Lu, are you at home? I found a kind of insect eggs and a kind of larva for you."
Half a day later, when Lu Xuan was inspecting the Lingtian, another deep voice came from outside.
Lu Xuan opened the courtyard door, and a tall monk who had completed Qi training was standing at the door.
"I don't know what kind of eggs or larvae the brother found?"
After welcoming the tall monk into the house, Lu Xuan brewed a pot of spiritual tea and asked the monk.
"Junior Brother Lu, I spent a lot of effort this time. You also know that demon insects are very good at protecting eggs and larvae. Finding them is ten times more difficult than finding adults."
"I stayed in the Red Miasma Valley for a few days, only to find two kinds, one is a first-grade black beetle, and the other is a second-grade demon insect larva, the silver-thread mantis."
The tall monk took a sip of spiritual tea, said to Lu Xuan, and took out two things from the storage bag.
A bottle contains several insect eggs, flat and round, black and shiny, like small stones.
In another bottle, there are two praying mantis larvae, about half a finger long, and their bodies are as white as jade. Their forelimbs are like a pair of knives, and a thin silver line can be faintly seen on their backs.
"The eggs are black beetles, first-grade demon insects, with seven eggs. They usually live near strange stones. When they mature, they have good defense capabilities. They can be used as refining materials for certain elixirs."
"These two larvae are silver-threaded mantises, second-grade demon insects, extremely fast and powerful in attack."
The tall monk introduced Lu Xuan in detail.
Lu Xuan nodded. I don't know if this black beetle is a molting insect, but as long as it is raised, it will have a symbiotic effect with the black insect vine.
As for the silver thread mantis, it perfectly meets the needs of the mysterious insect vine, and the two can grow together.
Of course, one thing I have to say is that this silver-threaded mantis looks quite pleasing to the eye, and its appearance is the first among the insects he has seen and known.
"Brother, I plan to buy the black beetle at the price of six spirit stones each, and the silver thread mantis larvae each thirty-five spirit stones, what do you think?"
Lu Xuan's bid was considered reasonable, and the tall monk didn't care much about the gain or loss of the spirit stone, so he nodded in agreement.
Lu Xuan took out one hundred and twelve spirit stones and handed them to the tall monk.
"Junior Brother Lu is refreshing, next time if you find some insect eggs or larvae, come and bother you again."
The tall monk took the Lingshi and got up to leave.
