151: Spirit ants lay eggs

Inside the Immortal Cave by the Green Lotus Pond, Lin Shiming took out the jade box containing the Spirit Devouring Ants.

Through the surface of the jade box, it was easy to see that the dozens of Spirit Devouring Ants were all listless at this moment.

Spirit Devouring Ants could devour any Spiritual Qi, and could easily devour spirit weapons and spirit Formations, but spirit jade was their biggest weakness.

At this moment, the ferocity of these Spirit Ants had been almost completely worn down.

Lin Shiming took out a Demon Enticement Pill and quickly placed it into the jade box.

The Spirit Ants instantly seemed stimulated, screaming wildly, then crawling towards the Demon Enticement Pill and slowly beginning to gnaw on it.

The other Spirit Ants also quickly crawled over, and then, to Lin Shiming's shock, these Spirit Ants actually began to devour each other, fighting over the Demon Enticement Pill.

The largest one among them was particularly fierce, its sharp teeth biting three or four Spirit Devouring Ants to death in a blink of an eye, then it continued to gnaw on the Demon Enticement Pill.

After a quarter of an hour, only four extremely agitated Spirit Devouring Ants remained in the jade box, as if the jade box could no longer suppress them at this moment. They flew wildly within the jade box, biting everywhere.

They even started to bite the jade box, but after biting, the Spirit Ant would suddenly spit it out again and continue to dart wildly inside the jade box.

Seeing this, Lin Shiming felt it was very strange, even suspecting that the Demon Enticement Pill had no effect on these Spirit Ants.

But then he remembered that the Red-haired Demon Monkey and Jin Chi (Golden Wings) also frantically devoured spirit beast meat and Beast Nurturing Pills during their evolution.

So he also took out some spirit beast meat, spirit water, and some Beast Nurturing Pills and threw them into the jade box.

Sure enough, the four Spirit Devouring Ants then began to frantically devour various spiritual items and Spiritual Qi.

The terrifying speed left Lin Shiming dumbfounded, and he couldn't understand how Spirit Devouring Ants of such a size could devour so many spiritual items.

Another hour passed like this before the Spirit Devouring Ants gradually began to stabilize, no longer tearing at each other, but instead calmly moving in pairs.

Seeing this, Lin Shiming finally relaxed.

The Demon Enticement Pill was effective.

After dealing with the Spirit Devouring Ants, Lin Shiming returned to his meditation cushion and began to meditate again.

After Cultivating a cycle of the Purple Wood Heart Sutra, he felt his spirit highly concentrated again, his True Essence abundant, and his whole body full of boundless vitality.

He then took out another Jade Slip, which was the Spirit Splitting Art.

He had not given either the Spirit Splitting Art or the Heavenly Wood Spirit Planting Secret Method to the Family for its members to Cultivate. Firstly, the Family temporarily had no suitable people, and secondly, both of these secret methods were of great importance.

The former, a secret method that could be used at the Qi Refinement Stage, was comparable in importance to the Heavenly Spirit Fruit Tree, while the latter, the Spirit Splitting Art, could greatly enhance Divine Sense, which even Cultivators of the Qingxuan Sect would be extremely envious of.

A Cultivator with outstanding Divine Sense might not be much, but if everyone had outstanding Divine Sense, then the Family must possess a rare treasure.

If news of the treasure leaked to an ordinary Foundation Establishment Family, it would be fine, as they would consider their relationship with the Sect. But if there were Purple Mansion Loose Cultivators, those without ties or burdens, who learned of the treasure, they would have long come to the Lin Family to borrow it.

Lin Shiming cast aside other distracting thoughts and focused intently on reviewing the Spirit Splitting Art.

At this moment, the meditation cushion also had a great effect, making him more focused and clear-headed.

The Cultivation Technique of the Spirit Splitting Art was divided into two parts: condensing the Soul Splitting Blade, and self-severing Divine Sense.

Of course, self-severing Divine Sense had a limit to how much it could sever Divine Sense; it would only create cracks, and then, using the characteristics of the Spirit Splitting Art, one would continuously Cultivate and restore Divine Sense.

These three steps were indispensable, which was also the key to the Spirit Splitting Art's power.

Of course, Cultivating the Spirit Splitting Art would also be extremely painful, and it would cause side effects such as being unable to establish a spirit contract and being unable to fight for a short period.

That's why he waited until he had controlled the Wood Demon before beginning to Cultivate the Spirit Splitting Art.

Lin Shiming took a deep breath, then, with extreme mental concentration, began to condense the Soul Splitting Blade.

Once this Soul Splitting Blade was condensed, it meant he had a Divine Sense attack. However, the attack of this Soul Splitting Blade could not compare to the Spirit Splitting Drum; the Soul Splitting Blade could only be used against those whose Cultivation or even Divine Sense was lower than his own. Against those whose Divine Sense was far higher than his own, it would cause a backlash, at which point it would not only fail to affect the enemy Cultivator but would also greatly disturb his own spirit.

The consequences would be unimaginable.

The condensation of the Soul Splitting Blade was also not simple, involving extremely complex spirit incantations. Fortunately, he still had System prompts to remind him at critical moments.

It was only in less than seven days that he managed to condense the Soul Splitting Blade.

At this moment, a small white blade appeared in his mind, which was the Soul Splitting Blade.

Lin Shiming also breathed a sigh of relief again, revealing a satisfied smile.

The Soul Splitting Blade was successful, which meant he was not far from training his Divine Sense.

Lin Shiming didn't continue but got up to check the Spirit Devouring Ants in the jade box.

He saw that the four Spirit Devouring Ants had already become two, and a large number of spirit eggs had begun to appear in the jade box.

Roughly looking, there were no less than three hundred.

And the Spirit Devouring Ants were still laying eggs.

This made Lin Shiming extremely satisfied once again.

With these spirit eggs, once the Spirit Devouring Ants hatched, no spirit Formation would be able to stop him. For example, he wouldn't need to gather five Foundation Establishment Cultivators for the Formation of the Purple Mansion Immortal Cave; instead, he could use the Spirit Devouring Ants to enter and collect treasures.

While excited, Lin Shiming also took out a considerable amount of spirit beast meat, spirit water, and Beast Nurturing Pills, placing them in the jade box to ensure the queen worms had enough spiritual power to lay as many eggs as possible.

After the egg-laying was finished, Lin Shiming once again began to Cultivate various spiritual plants.

After Cultivating, he began to Cultivate the Mountain Ape Body Refining Art, and later, he even directly engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Red-haired Demon Monkey.

His days also became extremely fulfilling, and as for Family matters, they were all handed over to the various halls... Three years passed quietly!

The Green Lotus Lake next to the Green Lotus Pond had been divided into two lakes. The left lake was for raising green lotuses and Red Spirit Fish, while the right lake was for raising spirit crocodiles.

Many Cultivators were currently catching Spirit Fish.

However, the next moment, a rumbling sound was heard, and in the distance on the mountain, two figures, one red and one green, were constantly fighting hand-to-hand.

Each punch created a great commotion.

And the punch shadows of the two were quite similar.

However, the red figure clearly had the upper hand.

"The Family Head's Body Refining Art is becoming increasingly profound!"

Lin Shiming had not hidden the Cultivation of his Body Refining Art from the Family Cultivators, nor could he.

When he sparred with the Red-haired Demon Monkey, the entire Fangmu Mountain could hear the commotion.

On the mountain, as the Red-haired Demon Monkey leaped up and punched, Lin Shiming was finally slammed into the mountain itself.

The Red-haired Demon Monkey was extremely excited, even raising Profound Spirit Mountain and howling continuously.

Lin Shiming also emerged from the mountain. Today, he was already thirty-four years old. Although his Cultivation was still at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, his Body Refining Realm had terrifyingly reached the seventh layer of Body Refining, and he could even barely fight with the Red-haired Demon Monkey now.

But he was clearly only getting beaten. However, reaching the sixth layer of Body Refining in three years also showed how terrifying his Cultivation speed was. Of course, the reason he could exchange blows was also because his Divine Sense had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

His prediction of each move far surpassed that of the Red-haired Demon Monkey, and he also made the Red-haired Demon Monkey control its strength, which was why he could barely exchange blows.
