"Fifth Uncle, this is Fellow Daoist Han and Madam Han from Ziyue Island, and this is Fellow Daoist Han's daughter."
Han Wenbin began to introduce.
Han Linsheng's eyes fell on the Purple Crystal Flying Scorpion, with an interested expression on his face, and he said, "Purple Crystal Flying Scorpion, there are not many Jindan cultivators who raise spiritual insects. Fellow Daoist Han actually raised a third-level Purple Crystal Flying Scorpion, which is rare."
"Compared to Fellow Daoist Han, I am far behind. I heard that Fellow Daoist Han is proficient in the art of expelling insects. I am very interested in this and came here specifically to ask Fellow Daoist Han for advice."
Han Changming said modestly.
"Fellow Daoist Han, do you have a spirit insect that is more powerful than the seven-colored cricket? Can you open our eyes?"
Han Benfu asked politely with an interested expression on her face.
Han Linsheng had a proud look on his face after hearing this. He nodded and said, "Yes, but to be fair, can you let me see the other spiritual insects you raise, Brother Han?"
There are only a handful of Jindan cultivators in the Han family of Jinjiao Island who raise spiritual insects. The main reason is that the magical powers of spiritual insects are not very strong and they are not as tough as spiritual beasts, so they are not easy to cultivate.
Han Changming smiled indifferently, slapped the spirit beast bag on his waist, and a silver light flew out. It was the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect.
"Hey, what kind of spiritual insect is this? A golden rhinoceros beetle? It doesn't look like one! A silver-winged rhinoceros? It doesn't look like one either! What kind of spiritual insect is this?"
Han Linsheng stared at the thunder rhinoceros worm with curiosity on his face.
Han Changming shook his head and said, "I don't know either. This spirit insect looks very similar to a unicorn rhino. I named it Thunder Rhino Insect. Daoist Fellow Han doesn't recognize it either?"
He has always wanted to find out the origin of the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect so that he can better cultivate it, but he has checked many books that introduce spiritual insects and has not found the origin of the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect.
"Can you fly into my hand so I can take a closer look?"
Han Linsheng stretched out his right hand, his face full of anticipation.
Han Changming's mind moved, and the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect flew towards Han Linsheng and landed in his hand.
Han Linsheng's eyes were burning as he looked at the thunder rhinoceros worm carefully, as if he was examining a rare treasure.
Seeing this scene, Han Wenbin and Han Wenqing did not know whether to laugh or cry. Han Linsheng was a well-known insect lover in the tribe.
"If I'm not mistaken, your spirit insect should be a new species. If you know its magical powers, you can analyze the origins of its parents."
Han Linsheng stroked his beard and analyzed.
No matter whether it is a spiritual beast, spiritual bird, or spiritual insect, the process of their cultivation is to return to their ancestors and trace back to their roots. The origin of a spiritual beast or spiritual insect is generally judged based on its appearance and magical powers. If the magical powers are similar, it means that the two are related by blood.
The thunder rhinoceros worm flew high into the sky, and countless silver arcs of electricity suddenly emerged from its body surface. It spewed out a silver lightning as thick as a fist, which struck the ground. The ground exploded, and a huge pit about ten feet in size appeared, with hot steam coming out of the pit.
Han Linsheng looked thoughtful, holding his chin with one hand, and said, "Thunder attribute magical power, thunder spirit insects are rare, does it have other magical powers?"
"No, I checked the classics and there are only about a dozen types of lightning-attributed spirit insects. There are no beetle-like spirit insects."
Han Changming was also puzzled. Judging from the appearance of the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle, one of its parents must be a beetle-like spiritual insect.
"That is to say, one of its parents may be a new species. The origin of your Thunder Rhino Bug is hard to find out. It is a descendant of a mixed-blood spirit bug, with a more mixed bloodline. It is more difficult to cultivate, and its potential is hard to say. It may grow up to be useless, or it may have greater magical powers."
Han Linsheng analyzed that it was a recognized fact that the descendants of mixed-blood spirit insects were either mediocre or had greater magical powers.
Han Changming smiled and nodded. He put away the Thunder Rhinoceros Bug and asked, "Fellow Daoist Han, you just said there is a spirit bug that is more powerful than the Seven-Colored Cricket. Why don't you take it out and let us see it?"
"I have already taken it out. It is right next to you. Look for it!"
Han Linsheng showed a proud look on his face and said in a somewhat mysterious tone.
After hearing this, Han Changming and the other six looked around, but there were quite a few spirit insects here, and they didn't know what kind of spirit insects Han Linsheng was talking about.
Han Changming turned his back to everyone else, his eyes shining with golden light, truly golden eyes.
He saw a light golden lizard on the stone wall. It had a half-moon-shaped membrane around its neck, a long tail, and some red spots on its body. Judging from its aura, it was a third-grade low-grade spirit insect.
Han Changming's eyes returned to normal, and he smiled and said, "Golden Moon Lizard, it turned out to be this kind of spiritual insect. Fellow Daoist Han is so capable that he actually raised this kind of spiritual insect."
The Golden Moon Lizard, ranked 19th on the List of Strange Insects of Heaven and Earth, is good at hiding and has the ability to see through illusions.
Raising a Golden Moon Lizard is equivalent to having a pair of spiritual pupils, which are similar to Han Changming's golden eyes. However, the magical powers of the Golden Moon Lizard are closely related to its level.
Han Benfu and others looked in the direction Han Changming was looking, but did not see any spirit insects.
Han Linsheng showed a proud look on his face. He waved his hand and a golden light appeared on the stone wall, and the Golden Moon Lizard appeared.
"Golden Moon Lizard, this is the nineteenth-ranked rare insect on the list of rare insects in the world. They said this kind of spiritual insect was extinct, but I didn't expect it to still exist."
Han Benfu said in surprise, her face full of envy.
"Hehe, a small family presented some spirit insect eggs. They were very weak at the time, so we soaked them in our Han family's Golden Mulberry Jade Liquid for a month before one was hatched."
Han Linsheng chuckled, his face full of pride.
Ranked nineteenth on the list of strange insects in the world, Han Linsheng is the only one in the Han family on the entire Jinjiao Island who raises a Golden Moon Lizard.
Han Changming smiled indifferently. The Xuyuan Bug ranked higher than the Golden Moon Lizard and had greater magical powers.
"Neither Wen Bin nor Wen Qing discovered the existence of the Golden Moon Lizard, but Fellow Daoist Han was able to find its location. It seems that Fellow Daoist Han's spiritual awareness is even stronger than that of a cultivator in the late Jindan stage. The Thousand-Eyed Golden Cicada, ranked 17th on the Heaven and Earth Strange Insects List, can enhance a cultivator's spiritual awareness. Could it be that Fellow Daoist Han has raised a Thousand-Eyed Golden Cicada? Can you let me see it?"
Han Linsheng said meaningfully, his eyes fixed on the spirit beast bag on Han Changming's waist. The Golden Moon Lizard is best at seeing through illusions, not hiding. A cultivator with strong spiritual sense can find its hiding place. Han Wenbin and Han Wenqing did not notice the existence of the Golden Moon Lizard, which shows that Han Changming's spiritual sense is stronger than that of a cultivator in the late Jindan period.
Han Wenbin and Han Wenqing then realized that their attention was so focused on the spirit insect that they had indeed forgotten about this.
"Fellow Daoist Han, you are joking. My spiritual sense is only slightly stronger than that of cultivators of the same level. I actually hope to raise a thousand-eyed golden cicada."
Han Changming explained with a smile, and slapped his spirit beast bag. Two colorful phoenix butterflies flew out and circled around him.
"Colorful Phoenix Butterfly! This kind of insect doesn't have much magical power. It's most suitable for keeping watch. The Colorful Phoenix Butterfly is better at hiding than the Golden Moon Lizard."
Han Linsheng commented objectively. He changed his tone and said, "It's rare that Fellow Daoist Han is also interested in spiritual insects. Let's go to my place and have a few cups of tea."
He turned and left, and the colorful cricket burrowed back into the ground. Han Changming put away the insect and followed it.
After passing through several courtyards, they came to a simple green bamboo building, near which they could see a large number of spirit insects.
There are dozens of spiritual insects such as scorpions, centipedes, millipedes, etc., but their levels are not high, all are level two.
Han Changming recognized the origins of these spiritual insects at a glance. Many of them were on the list of rare insects in the world, but they were ranked after 200, which was relatively low. However, Han Linsheng actually raised so many spiritual insects, and these spiritual insects could live in harmony, which was beyond Han Changming's expectation.
Walking into the bamboo building, Han Linsheng shouted to the corner: "Guests are coming, come out and greet them."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen pieces of bamboo moved. Upon closer inspection, it was found to be a green spirit insect, more than one meter tall, with limbs resembling bamboo. It was a second-grade, top-quality green bamboo insect. Its forelimbs held up a tray, on which was a set of exquisite tea sets.
Han Linsheng reached out to the teapot, wanting to take out the tea leaves to make tea.
"I can do things like making tea."
Han Wenbin snatched the tea leaves. Han Linsheng's hands were still stained with mud, but he didn't mind. However, Han Changming was a guest, and Han Wenbin would not neglect him.
Soon, Han Wenbin brewed the spiritual insects, and they drank tea and chatted.
It was called a chat, but it was mainly Han Changming and Han Linsheng who were talking. Han Wenbin and the other three couldn't get a word in, but Han Benfu was able to say a few words.
Han Changming discussed the cultivation of spirit insects with Han Linsheng, covering a wide range from their hatching, growth environment to advancement.
"Friend Han, I have some spirit insect eggs that have been stored for a long time and have never been able to hatch. I heard that the Golden Mulberry Jade Liquid can hatch spirit insect eggs. Can you sell some to me? The price is negotiable."
Han Changming said sincerely that this was his main purpose.
"Golden Mulberry Jade Liquid! I have another bottle on me. It's hard to find a true friend, so it would be awkward to sell it to you. I'll give it to you! I'm interested in the Five-Colored Phoenix Butterfly. Can you give me a few eggs?"
Han Linsheng took out a light green gourd and handed it to Han Changming.
Han Changming agreed with a smile. He was sure to make a profit from this deal. He took out a green wooden box and handed it to Han Linsheng.
There were more than a dozen eggs of the colorful Phoenix Butterfly in the wooden box. Han Linsheng nodded with satisfaction.
Before I knew it, it was getting dark.
"It's getting late, Fellow Daoist Han, let's take you back to rest first!"
Han Wenbin stood up and planned to take Han Changming back to his residence.
Han Changming nodded, clasped his fists towards Han Linsheng, and said, "Friend Han, let's talk next time."
"It's a deal. Follow my spirit bird out!"
Han Linsheng did not try to persuade them to stay, and let the colorful parrot take Han Changming and the others away.
After leaving the Thousand Insect Valley, Han Wenqing said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Han, I didn't expect that you are not only an alchemist, but also proficient in the art of expelling insects. We haven't seen Uncle Wu so happy for a long time."
Han Linsheng has a withdrawn personality and few of his fellow tribesmen can chat with him.
"I can't say I'm an expert at this, but your fifth uncle is an expert at expelling insects, and I've benefited a lot from that."
Han Changming's tone was sincere and he was telling the truth. He did benefit a lot from talking with Han Linsheng. He had a better understanding of the breeding of spiritual insects, and some problems that had troubled him for a long time were also solved.
After returning to his residence, Han Changming immediately took out the green gourd and a small bowl given to him by Han Linsheng, and poured some light golden liquid from the green gourd, which emitted a special fragrance that resembled the scent of flowers.
He put the golden mulberry jade liquid into the Taiyi Hualing Gourd, let the Taiyi Hualing Gourd purify it, and then used it to hatch spirit beast eggs.
Not long after, Han Benyong and others also came back. They followed the Han family cultivators to the Han family's spirit beast garden and saw many exotic birds and beasts.
"Dad, they have bred a spiritual bird called the Blood Crown Eagle. It flies very fast and is very suitable for transportation."
Han Benyong recounted his experience today in detail, looking excited.
