Chapter 160: The Silver Mantis
"The four-grade formation is a thousand illusion cloud and smoke array, and the third-grade spirit plant is just not ordinary, it's not in vain that I have carefully cultivated you for so long."
Lu Xuan looked at the upside-down array plate in his hand, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
He was worried about the protection of the small courtyard of Jianmen Town, but he didn't expect to be solved so quickly by the light group reward brought by the Phantom Smoke Luo Guo.
In the small courtyard, there are currently three kinds of spiritual plants, namely the three-grade ghost-faced stone mushroom, the third-grade thorn bone, and the fourth-grade hundred-pupil treacherous tree, each of which is extremely precious and cannot be lost in the slightest.
And his focus has to be placed in the sect, so he can only occasionally go over to take a look, in this case, it is inevitable to worry.
Although Jianmen Town is not far from the Heavenly Sword Sect, there is no need to worry about the invasion of any demon beasts, and most of the monks in the town also have a close relationship with the disciples in the Heavenly Sword Sect, but the people are unpredictable, if they don't see the master of the courtyard for a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be people who will not have bad intentions.
Now, with this Thousand Illusion Cloud Smoke Array, which integrates the Phantom Array, the Maze Array, and the Killing Array, Lu Xuan doesn't have to worry about this aspect.
He put the array plate and the Phantom Smoke Luo Fruit into the storage bag, and the Spirit Fruit originally planned to be swallowed by the Cloud Lynx, but considering that its pair of eye pupils were only good at distinguishing evil spirits, taking the Phantom Smoke Luo Fruit to enhance the illusion ability had little effect, so he gave up.
In the next few days, he spent most of his time in the cave, cultivating spirit plants, raising spirit beasts, and going to Qianlong Lake from time to time to feed the remaining dragon pythons.
Every time the spirit crane didn't accept his spirit stone, after the frequent times, Lu Xuan had to give up this idea and bring some ordinary spirit fruits for his daily hospitality to show his gratitude.
The remaining little time is used to practice the magic method, although the cultivation of a few months may not be as good as a spirit firefly grass, but it can improve the cultivation a little bit.
The days are extremely leisurely, especially when you have just picked the three-grade phantom smoke Luo fruit, and after getting the four-grade thousand phantom cloud smoke array, you are even more comfortable and a little more satisfied.
"Senior Brother Lu, are you at home? I received a monster eye pupil mission you posted before, and I'm here to hand it over to you. ”
Outside the courtyard, a cold female voice came from the courtyard.
"Yes."
Lu Xuan answered, and hurriedly ran over to open the courtyard door.
A female correction with an elegant temperament stopped in front of the door.
The nun entered the courtyard, found a random wooden pier to sit down, and took out three slender transparent bottles from the storage bag.
The bottle contained a pale green liquid, soaked in all kinds of demon beast eye pupils, each of which was full of life, as if it had just been cut out of the demon beast's head.
"I went out this time and got fourteen complete demon beast eye pupils, ten of which are from the first-grade demon beast, and four from the second-grade demon beast, each of which has been taken off for a short time, and it is kept fresh with a special spiritual liquid, which should be able to meet the requirements of Senior Brother Lu."
Qingya Nun said slowly.
Lu Xuan took the bottle, and his spiritual sense probed into it, feeling the freshness of his pupils, and confirming that what the female cultivator said was true.
"This pupil is quite special, it comes from the second-grade demon beast one-eyed brute rhino, with amazing brute strength, and at the same time, it also has a certain illusion ability."
Seeing Lu Xuan looking at a huge dark pupil in the bottle, the female cultivator explained aloud.
Hearing this, Lu Xuan nodded slightly.
"Senior sister, according to the requirements of the task, the pupils of each first-grade demon beast are ten spirit stones, and the three second-grade demon beast pupils are relatively ordinary, I am willing to buy them at the price of thirty spirit stones each.
The pupils of this one-eyed rhinoceros are a little special, fifty spirit stones, what does the senior sister think? ”
Sister Qingya hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"Then thank you Senior Brother Lu."
These demon beasts were originally another task for her to hunt, and taking off the pupils was just a matter of convenience, although Lu Xuan's offer was a little lower, it was already very good to be able to earn such a large amount of extra money.
Lu Xuan handed over the two hundred and forty spirit stones to the Qingya female cultivator and took the dozen demon beast eye pupils from her hands.
"The cost of planting high-grade spirit plants is a bit big, and the fourth-grade hundred-pupil trick wood will cost me more than two hundred spirit stones at once."
"It's still a spiritual firefly grass, and it can grow with an aura environment."
"However, high-grade has the benefits of high-grade, and these early investments are nothing in front of the value of the spirit plant itself, not to mention, I also have a light group reward!"
After the nun left, Lu Xuan returned to the house, looking at the dozen or so pupils floating in the pale green liquid, and couldn't help but sigh.
He put all the pupils in the raw bag to ensure that they were alive to the greatest extent.
"Senior Brother Lu, are you at home? I've got you a kind of egg, a kind of larva. ”
Half a day passed, when Lu Xuan was inspecting Lingtian, there was another deep voice outside.
Lu Xuan opened the courtyard door, and a tall monk who had perfected his qi cultivation was standing at the door.
"I don't know what kind of eggs my brother found, larvae?"
After welcoming the tall monk into the house, Lu Xuan brewed a pot of spiritual tea and asked the monk.
"Senior Brother Lu, I have worked hard this time, and you also know that demon insects protect eggs and larvae very well, and it is more than ten times more difficult to find them than to find adults."
"I stayed in the Red Miasma Valley for a few days, and I found two kinds, one is a first-grade black beetle, and the other is a second-grade demon insect larva silver mantis."
The tall monk poured a sip of spiritual tea and said to Lu Xuan, taking out two things from the storage bag.
A bottle contains several eggs, oblate, black and shiny, like small pebbles.
In the other bottle were two praying mantis larvae, about half a finger long, white as jade, with forelimbs like a pair of knives, and a faint silver line faintly visible on the back.
"The insect eggs are black beetles, first-grade demon insects, there are seven grains, they usually live near strange stones, and they have good defense ability after maturity, and can be used as refining materials for some pills."
"These two larvae are silver mantises, second-grade demon insects, extremely fast and very strong in attack."
The tall monk gave Lu Xuan a detailed introduction.
Lu Xuan nodded, I don't know if this black beetle is molting and shelling insects, but as long as it is raised, it will play a symbiotic role with the Xuan insect vine.
As for the silver mantis, it perfectly meets the needs of the Silkworm vine, and the two can grow together.
Of course, I have to say that this silver mantis looks quite pleasing to the eye, and its appearance is the first level among the insects he has seen and understood.
"Senior brother, I plan to buy this black beetle at the price of six spirit stones each, and the silver mantis larvae are thirty-five spirit stones each, what do you think?"
Lu Xuan's bid was already quite reasonable, and the tall monk didn't care much about the gains and losses of the spirit stones, so he nodded directly in agreement.
Lu Xuan took out one hundred and twelve spirit stones and handed them to the tall monk.
"Senior Brother Lu is refreshing, next time if you find any eggs or larvae, come and disturb you, Senior Brother."
The tall monk took the spirit stone and got up to take his leave.
