It was the rainy season, not the season for medicine pickers and hunters to enter the mountains, and there were no other guests in the tavern except Ling Tian.

After eating and drinking, Ling Tian returned to the guest room, he originally planned to leave immediately after eating, but seeing that there were no other guests in this tavern, he was not afraid of being exposed, so it was better to rest for a night, recuperate and leave tomorrow morning.

It was still early, Ling Tian sat cross-legged, calming his nerves.

Ling Tian's brows furrowed slightly, what annoyed him was that after entering the Ning Yuan Realm, the difficulty of his realm to improve was several times or even ten times that of ordinary martial artists.

The Ning Yuan Realm is divided into nine layers, and to improve the realm, it is necessary to run Zhou Tian in the body with Yuan Force, and constantly give birth to new Yuan Force in the operation, until there is no new force, and naturally enter a higher level of realm, and the process of giving birth to new power every time Zhou Tian is also a process of broadening the meridians and raising the upper limit of Yuan Force.

Therefore, generally speaking, a martial artist with a high realm will have a higher Yuan power than a martial artist with a lower realm.

Yuan Li is somewhat similar to blood, even if a human loses some blood, he can slowly make new blood until the blood fills the body, and Yuan Li is the same.

Generally speaking, a first-level martial artist in the Ning Yuan Realm had one hundred units of Yuan Power in his body, which was higher than the average, while Ling Tian casually had five or six hundred units of Yuan Power.

In other words, the difficulty and time required for Ling Tian to ascend to each small realm were several times or even ten times that of ordinary martial artists.

But Ling Tian was not without benefits, among martial artists of the same level, he could be said to be invincible, not to mention martial artists of the same level, even if it was a martial artist of the ninth layer of the Ning Yuan Realm, Ling Tian was not afraid.

This formed a strange situation, Ling Tian was obviously on the first level of the Ning Yuan Realm, and he would stay on the first level of the Ning Yuan Realm for a long time, but he had a combat power that was not weaker than the ninth layer of the Ning Yuan Realm.

This problem of difficulty in improving the realm can only be solved later.

Ling Tian looked inward at the dantian again, checking the condition of the Yuan Devouring Insect, it didn't matter if he didn't look at it, seeing it made Ling Tian overjoyed, and he almost screamed.

I saw that there were dozens of more eggs in the dantian, and the three adult phagons who gave birth to these eggs were resting tiredly.

Ling Tian counted them, there were a total of thirty-one eggs, plus three adults, that is, Ling Tian now had thirty-four Yuan-devouring insects.

Ling Tian thought of the record of the Yuan Devouring Worm in the Chen Family Ancestral Genealogy, and said that the insect master of the Imperial Spirit Sect often had to raise the Yuan Devouring Worm for decades before they could reproduce offspring and lay eggs. I can't help but laugh, this Imperial Spirit Sect is still not good, I have only worked for a few days, and the Yuan Devouring Worm has given birth to offspring.

What Ling Tian didn't know was that he had increased the feeding efficiency of the Element-Eater by a thousand times, and later even used Gang Qi to raise the Element-Eater, which greatly improved the cultivation efficiency and shortened the maturity cycle of the Element-Eater.

This metaphagogue is completely different from other insects, purely living on the yuan force, as long as the yuan power is enough, it will enter the breeding period, and after several or a dozen failed matings, it will lay eggs.

Ling Tian provided enough Yuan Power to accurately project into the body of the Yuan Devouring Worm, so he was able to let the Yuan Devouring Worm enter the breeding period in just a few days, especially feeding the Yuan Devouring Worm for a long time with Gang Qi, which was something that the Imperial Spirit Sect could not do.

You must know that the Gang Qi Realm martial artist can be regarded as an outstanding powerhouse, and the strong have their own dignity, and which strong person is willing to surrender his cultivation to support the Yuan Devouring Worm? That is no different from suicide.

Therefore, the method adopted by the Imperial Spirit Sect in history was to plunder the martial artists and force them to become the food of the Yuan Devouring Worm, but at most, it also plundered some martial artists of the Body Refining Realm Condensing Yuan Realm, like the martial artists of the Gang Qi Realm, they were all the middle-level core forces of various sects, and they were all dispatched in groups, how could they be so easy to kidnap?

And the Imperial Spirit Sect's practice of wantonly infringing on the martial artists of other sects in order to raise the Yuan Devouring Worm finally made a public outrage, and the Imperial Spirit Sect was also driven out of Shannan by the Seven Great Righteous Dao Sects, and it has been in a state of collapse ever since.

I'm afraid that the insect master of the Imperial Spirit Sect would never have imagined that there was a person named Ling Tian who could continuously feed the Yuan Devouring Worm with his Gang Qi, and he didn't have to consume his own cultivation.

Ling Tian and the Yuan Devouring Worm were simply a natural pair.

He was checking the status of the Elemental Devouring Worm when the sound of speech came from the mobile phone screen, attracting Ling Tian's attention.

It is indispensable to guard against people, and Ling Tian has never forgotten to monitor the grandsons of Old Man Zhang and Xiaoqing, in case they are betrayed.

Ling Tian clicked on the opening photo, and the real-time surveillance video of Old Man Zhang and Xiaoqing appeared on the big screen.

I saw Old Man Zhang and Xiaoqing in the bedroom, Old Man Zhang was holding a portrait in both hands, and his face showed a hesitant look.

Ling Tian zoomed in on the screen and saw the portrait clearly, and his heart suddenly jumped.

The portrait was none other than Ling Tian, and there were two big words "reward" written on the top, and I didn't expect that the reward notice of the Absolute Sword Gate would be sent here.

"I never imagined that this son is the wanted criminal Ling Tian of the Absolute Sword Gate, a few days ago, the people in the cottage sent a portrait, and I said that it was useless, who would come to this barren mountain and wilderness, I didn't expect that this would be met by us. Old man Zhang looked wonderful, as if he couldn't believe it was true.

"Grandpa, you don't really want to denounce the beggar son, he was so kind to us, he gave us a thousand taels of silver, and we can't earn that much in a year. "Xiao Qingdao.

"What do children know, a thousand taels of silver will buy you, as long as we release the messenger bird and notify the cottage, we can get 200,000 taels of silver!" Speaking of 200,000 taels of silver, Old Man Zhang's hands holding the portrait trembled slightly, his face was ruddy, and his breath was short.

"Grandpa, why do you like money so much, what's the use of us asking for so much money?"

"Silly boy, you are born with a body, you can't cultivate Yuan Li when you are born, with so much money, I can buy you a Pulse Returning Pill, repair the meridians, and you will be able to practice martial arts. Old man Zhang said.

"Grandpa, I also want to practice martial arts, but we can't harm people because of this, I think the beggar boy is a good person, we have to be righteous, but we can't betray him." Xiao Qingdao, looking at this little girl's reasoning, Ling Tian couldn't help but want to laugh.

"You stupid boy, if you don't do this, we won't be able to save the money to buy back the Mai Dan in our lifetime, your parents have died at the hands of the Imperial Spirit Sect, who will avenge this sea of blood and hatred?" Old man Zhang said solemnly.

"Grandpa, I will definitely avenge my father's mother," Xiaoqing clenched his little fist tightly, "but not in this way of harming people, then what is the difference between us and the demons of the Imperial Spirit Sect? If you do this, your father and mother will also blame you underground." ”

Old man Zhang looked straight at Xiaoqing, his face changed several times, and finally slapped his thigh and shouted, "That's it! ”

Xiaoqing smiled, hugged Old Man Zhang's neck, and said, "This is my good grandfather." ”

Old man Zhang shook his head dotingly, looking like he couldn't do anything about Xiaoqing.

When Ling Tian saw this, he smiled slightly, and he couldn't see that although this girl was young, she was very assertive.
