Chapter Twenty-Nine: Yin and Yang Ghost Worms
The treasures used in the cultivation realm are divided into two types: innate and acquired, and the two can be divided again. Therefore, according to the level from high to low, the treasures can be divided into: innate treasure, acquired treasure, innate spirit treasure, acquired spirit treasure, general magic weapon, runic treasure, magic weapon.
General magic weapons, usually from low to high, are divided into three types: primary magic weapons, intermediate magic weapons, and advanced magic weapons. Rune treasures are also divided into three types according to low to high, namely low-grade runes, medium-grade runes, and high-grade runes. According to the low to the highest, the magic weapons are also divided into three types, namely the primary magic weapons, the intermediate magic weapons, and the high-level magic weapons.
Runic treasures and magic weapons are usually used by immortal cultivators above the foundation building period, and immortal cultivators in the qi refining period generally stay at the level of using magic weapons, which is also a reason why immortal cultivators in the qi refining period are vulnerable in front of immortal cultivators in the foundation building period. Because even if you put aside the level of inner cultivation, the magic weapon can't compete with the magic weapon at all.
There are two reasons for this. On the one hand, it is because immortal cultivators in the Qi refining period have just entered the Immortal Dao, except for those immortal cultivators who are from immortal cultivation families, the vast majority of people are relatively poor and cannot have expensive magic weapons, so they can only buy some magic weapons with lower prices. On the other hand, the magic weapon also has certain requirements for the user's cultivation, and the cultivator who cultivates the immortals to sacrifice a high-level magic weapon often needs to pinch the trick and chant the mantra together, and it requires a long preparation time, which is not applicable at all when fighting against the enemy.
Although Ma Yilong is new to the immortal road, he still knows these common sense things. However, there was one thing he didn't know, and that was the three-element incarnation divine sword in his body. This sword was created by the Master Qingping, and after three transformations, it can become an acquired treasure. However, the three-element incarnation divine sword in front of him has only opened the spirituality, and has not undergone transformation, so it can only be regarded as a high-level magic weapon.
Ma Yilong, who had made a breakthrough in qi refining, looked at the spoils he had obtained with excitement. This look made Ma Yilong's already excited mood even more excited, and he almost jumped.
In the big man's storage bag, there was a small golden shield, a small black fork, and a charm with lightning on it. The small golden shield was a high-level defensive magic weapon, the small fork was an offensive high-level magic weapon, and the lightning charm was a rune treasure.
All rune treasures have a lifespan, and once the stored spiritual power is exhausted, it will lose its spirituality and become a piece of waste paper. Judging from the spiritual power emitted by this rune treasure, it should have never been used. This is also one of the reasons why the big man was unwilling when he died, with such treasures in his body, he didn't have time to use them, and he died in the hands of an immortal cultivator who was several levels lower than himself, which was really a sad thing.
In Yan Kui's storage bag, in addition to the blue bricks, black ropes, small order flags, and invisibility charms that Ma Yilong had taken away before, there was another small order flag, two books, and more than 100 middle-grade spirit stones. The green brick has already been mentioned, and it is a high-level magic weapon.
That invisibility talisman was a low-level purple talisman. Strictly speaking, the charms are listed separately, and the rune treasures are no longer part of the scope of ordinary charms. The talisman is also divided into three types: yellow, purple, and gold, and each talisman is divided into three levels: low, medium, and high according to the different materials and methods of production.
The black rope is actually a low-level magic weapon, with Yan Kui's cultivation of the seventh layer of Qi refining, there is definitely no way to sacrifice it instantly, and he has already prepared it in advance when he sacrifices this thing twice in the cave. With Yan Kui's scheming, it is not difficult to cover it up seamlessly, and Ma Yilong easily figured it out.
As for the two books, one is dedicated to spirit beasts and spirit insects, and the other is about refining weapons.
In Yan Kui's spirit beast bag, Ma Yilong found two worms. These two worms, one female and one male, differ greatly in appearance. The female is an inch in size and has a light black body, while the male is less than one-tenth of his size and is light gray in color, which is extremely difficult to distinguish with the naked eye if you do not look closely.
Ma Yilong searched Yan Kui's memory, coupled with the introduction in this book, and knew the two worms clearly. This kind of worm is called the Yin-Yang Ghost Worm, and it is born hermaphroditic, only half an inch in size, and gray and black in color.
According to the introduction in that book, feeding with a special method can separate the two ghost insects, and then feed them separately with different foods, which can make their bodies change dramatically. Under the stimulation of special food, the body of the female insect will become larger and larger, and eventually grow to the size of an inch, and the color will change to black. The body of the male insect will shrink and shrink until it shrinks to one percent of its size, and its color becomes colorless.
Because the two ghost insects are hermaphroditic congenitally, they have a psychic sense between them. In this way, the male can be controlled by the female and make him obediently obey the arrangement. At the same time, the female can also learn everything that the male sees and hears.
In fact, this kind of yin and yang ghost insect has only one function, that is, it is used to monitor others. However, when the male insect's body completely becomes colorless and shrinks to one percent, it will be difficult for him to find out even if the person being monitored is an immortal cultivator who has cultivated above the god transformation stage.
However, judging from the physical state of these two ghost insects in front of them, it is obvious that there is still a long way to go before they have evolved to that point.
Seeing these two ghost insects, Ma Yilong nodded with a smile, and a bold idea rose in his heart: Since this ghost insect has such a function, if he can find a way to put the male ghost insect next to Wang Xian and monitor his every move, then he will be much safer.
Thinking of this, Ma Yilong began to think.
Ma Yilong was attacked by Wang Xian on the road before, and the white stone used by Wang Xian was a high-level magic weapon. In terms of Wang Xian's identity, he must have a magic weapon or a rune treasure on his body. And according to his cultivation, in the process of fighting, it doesn't take too long to sacrifice low-level magic weapons.
Wang Xian didn't use it at all when he attacked Ma Yilong, because he was afraid of being suspected of him. He and Ma Yilong have had conflicts, and they will be suspected no matter what. Wang Xian had already thought about it before the sneak attack on Ma Yilong, no matter whether the sneak attack was successful or not, that high-level magic weapon would be intentionally left, so as to achieve the purpose of diverting his attention and avoid being suspected of himself.
Ma Yilong is a smart person, and he can think clearly about Wang Xian's intentions. After some thought, Ma Yilong opened the book of refining weapons with the doubts in his heart, and Ma Yilong smiled after a while.
This book introduces a method that can make some changes to the magic weapon or magic weapon, and then deal with it in a special way, although it will damage the spirituality of the treasure to some extent, but the impact will not be too great, and this method is not too complicated.
The only drawback of this method is that it consumes a lot of spirit stones during the process. However, this is nothing to Ma Yilong, he extorted a lot of spirit stones from Jiang Shuyuan, although he used up a little, but with these obtained from Yan Kui, he is still an extremely rich person.
After careful study, Ma Yilong drilled a small hole in the middle of the blue-brick-shaped high-level magic weapon, and then put the male ghost insect into it. After filling in the few materials taken out, dispose of them according to the method in the book. It took an hour to be busy, and forty or fifty mid-rank spirit stones were consumed before they could be considered to be dealt with.
From the outside, there is no difference from the previous one. However, in fact, the spirituality of the magic weapon will definitely be damaged a little, but Ma Yilong doesn't care about this. Because of this high-level magic weapon, he didn't expect to keep it in his hands and use it.
Ma Yilong, who had dealt with all this, was overjoyed, and after a little movement, he was ready to start a new cultivation. But at this moment, Fang Ming and another outer hall disciple came to his cave. They told Ma Yilong that two disciples of the foundation building period of the outer gate found Jiang Shuyuan and said that there was a major matter that he wanted to help verify, so Jiang Shuyuan was anxious to invite everyone to come over.
Hearing this news, Ma Yilong was shocked into a cold sweat!
