This time, Li Yan only used 70% of his magic power to test this branch. He just wanted to try whether the "Youwuqiong" tree was the same as recorded in the Guishui Sutra.
After trying it, Li Yan felt relieved.
Then, Li Yan used the other three types of spiritual power to test them one by one, and finally Li Yan thought for a while.
The most basic feature of the "You Wuxian" branches at present is the combination of hardness and softness. There is nothing special about the rest. However, this is only the case when there is no sacrifice or refinement.
After Li Yan gathers and refines all the materials, he is looking forward to what the scene will be like.
However, through this test, Li Yan also realized that the "Youwuqiong" tree was difficult to melt. He used his 100% fire spiritual power to create a sea of fire that burned for a cup of tea, but there was no abnormality at all on this branch.
Afterwards, Li Yan tried to shoot out fire from the fan, but in the end it just made the black surface of the branches turn a little dark red, and there was still no abnormality after that.
After confirming that this piece of "Youwukong" branch was no different from what was recorded in the Guishui Sutra, Li Yan played with it for a while before putting it back into the "Tuban".
Then he took out another object from the soil, which was the piece of bamboo shoot. Looking at the bamboo shoot, which was more than two inches long before and now only had a little more than an inch left, Li Yan felt helpless.
In order to survive this time, he had used up nearly half of the "Rongsun" in the past few months. Although he was helpless, Li Yan did not feel too heartbroken.
This time, we got the biggest goal of this trip - the "Infinite Travel" branch. I think in the future, such desperate use of the tree will definitely be difficult to see again.
"Although the ice seat can promote the growth of bamboo shoots, I don't know how many years it will take for a single shoot to grow. This thing is good, but it's too difficult to grow, not to mention that it can be purchased with spirit stones."
Li Yan thought about it in his heart, and then he laughed in silence. He was able to get this small piece of bamboo shoots, and there was also an ice base for it to continue growing and surviving, but he was still not satisfied. It was a bit too greedy.
Afterwards, Li Yan solemnly sealed the "Rongsun" back into the ice seat, and his eyes naturally saw the snow mosquitoes in the cave on the top of the mountain.
At this time, the number of snow mosquitoes has reached as many as 30,000 to 40,000, and it is time to refine them. For this kind of mosquito-like monster that reproduces very quickly, it is naturally not necessary to refine them one by one. Li Yan estimated that even if he spent several more years, he might not be able to refine so many snow mosquitoes one by one.
Moreover, during this ritual, new snow mosquitoes will continue to be born. According to the terrifying reproduction rate of snow mosquitoes, Li Yan may never leave here.
Of course, the immortal cultivation world has its own methods of sacrifice and cultivation for these, especially the Wuliang Sect, which has two peaks whose skills are specifically aimed at monsters and poisonous insects.
Social monsters always have their own leader. Once it is tamed and trained successfully, all problems can be solved.
Although there might not be head mosquitoes among the snow mosquitoes that Li Yan collected into the "Earth Spot" space at that time, after such a long time, new head mosquitoes, that is, the new mosquito king, had been born among these monsters.
With Li Yan's powerful spiritual sense sweeping across, he quickly found the head mosquito among the snow mosquito swarms in several caves.
In fact, Li Yan had already made up his mind before he started looking, but he still searched all the places carefully to prevent anything unexpected from happening.
Finally, the mosquito was right under his nose, on the ice seat.
On the piece of sycamore branch carved on the back of the ice seat, where the "Rongsun" was hidden, there was a snow mosquito as big as a head lying there.
Around its body, on the huge ice seat, there were no layers of snow mosquitoes lurking like ice edges as before. Instead, there were only nearly a hundred snow mosquitoes lurking at the edge of the ice seat.
These snow mosquitoes didn't dare to get close to the backrest carved with a phoenix pattern. These nearly 100 snow mosquitoes were the size of a bowl, which was more than ten times larger than the snow mosquitoes in other places.
When Li Yan took away the "Rongsun", the largest snow mosquito lying beside the phoenix tree branch let out a sharp whistle. However, Li Yan's cultivation had greatly increased now, so it could not detect the presence of Li Yan's spiritual consciousness here.
So when it suddenly lost "Rongsun", its fur stood up immediately, its sharp mouthparts stood up, and while letting out a sharp scream, it flapped its wings angrily and flew off to look for something.
The nearly one hundred snow mosquitoes lying on the edge of the ice seat immediately flew up as the snow mosquito screamed, and their bodies trembled, and then they flew away in all directions.
After searching for a while without success, these nearly a hundred snow mosquitoes ferociously stabbed countless snow mosquitoes to death with their sharp mouthparts, and finally approached the largest head mosquito cautiously, making low sounds from their mouths, as if begging.
The largest head mosquito, after losing "Rongsun" for a while, had become furious, with fierce light flashing in its eyes as it looked at the nearly a hundred snow mosquitoes lined up in front of it.
It suddenly raised its mouthparts and inserted them directly into the head of a larger snow mosquito. The snow mosquito was terrified and trembling all over, but it didn't dare to dodge. It no longer had the prestige it had just had when it killed other snow mosquitoes. It could only let the sharp mouthparts pierce its brain in despair. Immediately, the head mosquito sucked hard, and the snow mosquito's body, which was originally as transparent as crystal, was reduced to a thin layer of skin.
In this way, the head mosquito sucked seven or eight snow mosquitoes in succession, then flew away, and went around looking for "Rongsun". It was not until Li Yan returned the "Rongsun" to it that it calmed down.
At its current level, its spiritual intelligence has already been awakened. This phenomenon of sudden loss of "fusion" occurred frequently over a period of time five months ago.
It knew at that time that it was taken away by the human monk, because it could feel a familiar divine consciousness descending here, but it could not stop it at all. In its anger, it could only fly around irritably and devour other snow mosquitoes to vent its dissatisfaction.
Unexpectedly, this situation happened again today, but the smell it liked disappeared for no reason. It was with the help of the smell emitted by this thing that it broke through to the second level, which made its strength soar by leaps and bounds.
Only then did it kill countless competitors and become a mosquito king. The disappearance of the smell made it furious.
After Li Yan had not found such a ferocious and abnormally shaped snow mosquito in other caves, he finally confirmed it. His spiritual consciousness immediately turned into a blurry human figure and directly grabbed the head mosquito.
As soon as Li Yan's figure appeared, the first to discover it was the mosquito. Its wings immediately exploded and stood up. He was very familiar with this breath. It was the cultivator who had occasionally entered here before.
But since more than a year ago, it could no longer sense the man's breath, and for a while it thought that the man had left this strange space.
But until half a year ago, the scent that it liked often disappeared, appeared, disappeared, and appeared again, over and over again, which made it very annoyed, but there was nothing it could do. At that time, it felt that the person had come back, but no matter how hard it looked, it could not find any trace of that person.
Now, Li Yan's aura suddenly appeared again, and it was the first to discover it. With a fierce aura in its heart, it wanted to attack Li Yan, but the next moment, this mosquito felt that it was firmly grasped by a big hand, as if the heaven and earth were imprisoned, making it unable to move at all.
Before the leader mosquito could roar loudly to call other snow mosquitoes to come and help attack, it had already disappeared from the space. Until this time, the nearly 100 snow mosquitoes lying near the edge of the ice seat raised their heads in confusion and looked at the place with the carved paulownia branches.
But at one look, they all flew up instantly, because the "king" that they feared was gone.
Outside the "Earth Spot" space, a sharp roar suddenly sounded in the cave, causing the Purple Dragon Elephant, which had been lying on the side, to raise its head.
When it saw Li Yan holding a crystal clear monster in his hand, a strange look flashed in its eyes, but then after it scanned it with its spiritual sense, it asked in confusion.
"Master, this Snow Mosquito is from the first level of the North Sea Demon Suppression Tower. What use do you have for it? It is at most a second-level demon beast. Although such a low-level demon beast has some extraordinary qualities, it will not be of much help to the master in the future."
When the Purple God Dragon Elephant followed He Baiyi, the eldest disciple of the Jianglong Sect, into the inner layer of the Beiming Demon-Suppressing Tower, they were teleported to the edge of the snowfield, so they only encountered a very small number of snow mosquitoes and did not remember them for a while.
It was not until it carefully identified it that it recognized the origin of the snow mosquitoes. However, the number of snow mosquitoes that He Baiyi encountered at that time was very small, so the Purple Dragon Elephant did not know the power of the ice sword formed by the snow mosquitoes.
Therefore, when they saw Li Yan take out a snow mosquito, they were confused and did not expect that Li Yan would actually bring out this kind of monster from the first floor of the tower.
Li Yan laughed and said, "Don't underestimate this monster. I think you were teleported very close to the ice and snow wall. Their group attack skills are not weak."
The Snow Mosquito, which was howling loudly and trying desperately to break free from Li Yan's hand, stopped howling loudly and made a somewhat awkward sound when it heard the Purple Dragon Elephant say that it was just an inferior monster.
"You... are just... a... soul, without even a physical body, yet you... are so... shameless."
Li Yan and the Purple God Dragon Elephant were not surprised that the snow mosquito could speak human language. First-level monsters were already intelligent and could speak human language, but they just couldn't change their human form.
What's more, this snow mosquito has been promoted to level two. It has been with its own kind all year round, so it naturally won't speak human language for no reason in the "Earth Spot" space.
After listening to Li Yan's words, the Purple God Dragon Elephant realized that the Snow Mosquito possessed the ability to attack in groups. Then, it heard the Snow Mosquito's awkward and dissatisfied voice. The Purple God Dragon Elephant was not angry. It just lay back lazily and said with disdain.
"Believe it or not, I can kill you with just one slap. It's just that the master wants you to be useful. I, the elephant master, am too lazy to bother with you too much!"
What it said was true. If this snow mosquito had not been taken out by Li Yan, it would have stepped on it to death in the morning. However, it knew that Li Yan wanted to sacrifice this snow mosquito, so the Purple God Dragon Elephant would not let itself get angry now.
However, the Purple Divine Dragon Elephant had already remembered this grudge in its heart. An inferior species had dared to challenge its dignity. After Li Yan had finished the ritual, it would definitely find a time to let this inferior species know who was the "king" among the monsters.
