Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 179 - 170: Seven Insect Immortal Mountain [2nd Update, Requesting Monthly Pass!]

"Perhaps—"

"I can try searching within the Changqing Realm, maybe there is a method to cultivate and train Iron Fire Ants."

Lu Qingfeng's mind stirred, suddenly thinking of the possibility.

Without a cultivation or taming method, even obtaining Iron Fire Ant Eggs would amount to nothing but a chicken rib—worthless and unprofitable.

First, there's no guarantee of successfully raising them to live, let alone thrive in groups. Without life and without swarms, it's challenging to obtain Refining Crystals.

Second, even if they survive and form swarms, in the absence of a method to tame and recognize an owner, dealing with the aggressive and dangerous Iron Fire Ants would be foolhardy—especially for someone like Lu Qingfeng, who might find life too long for his liking.

This is why although Iron Fire Ants are considered exotic creatures, their eggs garner no interest.

"So there are such restrictions and dangers in cultivating Iron Fire Ants."

"Elder Lu—"

Zhou Chenggu frowned slightly after hearing Lu Rong's words, giving Lu Qingfeng a look filled with apology.

He was unaware of the intricacies in breeding exotic creatures, nor did he understand the horrors of Iron Fire Ants.

Had it not been for Lu Rong's warning, Lu Qingfeng might have plunged into cultivation heedlessly, potentially causing great disaster.

"Elder Zhou means well."

Lu Qingfeng smiled, knowing Zhou Chenggu had no ill intentions.

He then looked at the Iron Fire Ant Eggs in front of him and said to Lu Rong, "Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Rong. Nevertheless, I am quite interested in these two Iron Fire Ant Eggs. Even if I can't cultivate them now, if I find the method to cultivate and tame them later, perhaps I won't need to seek Refining Crystals elsewhere."

"Master Lu—"

"Elder Lu—"

Lu Rong and Zhou Chenggu, hearing Lu Qingfeng's intent, spoke out, about to advise further.

Lu Qingfeng waved his hand, "No worries, gentlemen. I cherish my life and will not act rashly. May I inquire how Mr. Rong plans to offer these Iron Fire Ant Eggs?"

"These Iron Fire Ant Eggs are useless to me. Since the master is interested, feel free to take them," Lu Rong said with a laugh, pushing the two Iron Fire Ant Eggs toward Lu Qingfeng, and offering them without asking for payment in return.

Lu Qingfeng picked up the Iron Fire Ant Eggs, feeling the weak signs of life within, and responded to Lu Rong, "Since that's the case, I shall not refuse your generosity. If Mr. Rong later finds any precious materials or Spiritual Medicine, feel free to visit the Luoxia Sect. My cultivation might be mediocre, but Alchemy and Artifact Refining Skills are my strengths. If you don't mind, I can refine for you a batch of Second Rank Spirit Pills or a Second Rank Magic Artifact."

"Master is too modest."

"Master's skills in Alchemy and Artifact are well-known in the Juyun Mountain Range, I thank you in advance!"

Lu Rong, keen on winning favor, was grateful for both the reminders and the gesture of gifting the Iron Fire Ant Eggs, and it was all for these words. He hastily agreed.

Lu Qingfeng understood Lu Rong's intentions.

Merely a pair of Iron Fire Ant Eggs, especially when there is no known cultivation and taming method in the Three Mountains and Nine Waters, holds limited value, not even enough for him to offer his services for Alchemy and Artifact Refining.

Even if Lu Rong were to provide the materials himself.

Thus, for Lu Rong, Lu Qingfeng's promise far exceeded the value of two useless Iron Fire Ant Eggs.

But as for Lu Qingfeng—

If he could acquire the method for cultivation and taming within the Changqing Realm, the value of these pair of Iron Fire Ant Eggs could skyrocket by a hundredfold or even a thousandfold.

Forget about helping to refine Second Rank Spirit Pills or Magic Artifacts, even three or five Second Rank Magic Artifacts might not be enough to trade for such exotic creatures.

And so both parties were pleased.

...

Having obtained the Iron Fire Ant Eggs, Lu Qingfeng left Jinyun Peak and returned to his cave dwelling.

Though he did not manage to obtain Refining Crystals as initially hoped, the pair of Iron Fire Ant Eggs, if well utilized, could prove even more precious than Refining Crystals alone.

Now, it all depended on the Changqing Realm.

Lu Qingfeng came back and couldn't wait to enter "Primordial."

In reality, he accomplished Foundation Establishment, overcame tribulation, and overturned Chi Yun Peak in a blink of two months.

In the game, sixteen years had passed in an instant.

Thirty-two years have gone by since the killing of Chang Fengzi.

Changqing Realm.

General Ridge.

Lu Qingfeng summoned Ren Changsheng.

"An Immortal Sect that's good at breeding peculiar insects?" Ren Changsheng, after hearing Lu Qingfeng's question, did not understand why his senior brother suddenly became interested in breeding strange insects, but still replied, "Breeding peculiar insects is indeed considered a side door and Left Dao, not respectable enough to be recognized publicly. However, in the Northern Realm of Zheng, near Longchuan, close to small countries such as Yiqu and others, an Immortal Sect named 'Seven Insect Immortal Mountain' has risen to fame in recent years specifically for breeding peculiar insects."

"Seven Insect Immortal Mountain?"

Lu Qingfeng had indeed never heard of this Immortal Sect.

The Northern Realm of Zheng in Longchuan is indeed where mountains and barbaric lands are located, close to the northwestern countries of Yiqu and others, often suffering from invasions by barbarians, a place of chaos and serpent dragons, with rampant miasma.

Although Longchuan has seen a resurgence of Spiritual Energy and had Spiritual Mountains emerge, due to the special environment, the esteemed Immortal Sects look down on it, allowing many small sects to exist there.

These small sects are numerous and disorganized, located deep in the mountains with miasma all around. Lu Qingfeng, in his travels across Changqing Realm in search of Secret Techniques, had never ventured into Longchuan.

Unknown to him when Seven Insect Immortal Mountain came to fame, challenging the mountains of Longchuan, garnering impressive momentum.

"The Upper Realm Ancestor of Seven Insect Immortal Mountain is the Thunder Department's Qu Wen Zhan Jing Lei General, known for his fondness of breeding strange insects. He can use them to consume plagues. His legacy left in the Changqing Realm also prioritizes Thunder Skills supported by breeding of insects."

Ren Changsheng had done a detailed understanding of the slightly notable Immortal Sects of Changqing Realm, and narrated smoothly now.

"Qu Wen Zhan Jing Lei General."

Lu Qingfeng showed a pensive expression and quickly remembered the rank of this Thunder General. He was a great General of the Thunder Department leading three hundred thousand soldiers, his status not on par with the Prison-controlling Five Thunder Great God, but far above figures such as the Judge Star General and the Yang Realm's Soul Searching General.

If it was a Dao heritage passed down from this deity, then—

"Seven Insect Immortal Mountain was originally inconspicuous, not standing out among the various sects in Longchuan. Only in recent years did several geniuses arise, especially one with a talent for Insect Control Technique unparalleled in the world, called 'Chang Qi,' who suppressed numerous sects in Longchuan, thus establishing Seven Insect Immortal Mountain's dominant status in Longchuan."

"Of the other geniuses, I'm not sure, but this Chang Qi has a very high possibility of being a Reincarnated True Immortal."

Ren Changsheng continued.

Indeed, this was as expected.

Lu Qingfeng knew that his guess was not wrong.

Given the current situation in Changqing Realm, the sudden rise of an Immortal Sect was often related to Reincarnated True Immortals.

Just like Fenghuo Temple of Nine Palace Mountain, which swiftly rose to prominence due to Chang Fengzi's awakening of past wisdom and having strong masters preside over it.

Seven Insect Immortal Mountain was the same.

"Qu Wen Zhan Jing Lei General is a deity leading three hundred thousand soldiers, and his Reincarnated True Immortal ranks even before the True Immortals under Soul Searching Temple. Considering the timeline, an awakening at this moment is indeed reasonable."

Lu Qingfeng pondered and then set off towards Longchuan.

Seven Insect Immortal Mountain established its sect through Insect Control, and they might have techniques for cultivating and taming Iron Fire Ants.

...

Longchuan.

Seven Insect Immortal Mountain.

Chang Qi was shuttling between caves. In the caves, faint but dense and creeping insect noises could be heard. These were specially developed by Chang Qi for breeding spiritual insects.

Dozens of caves cultivated dozens of spiritual insects.

They were all wild spiritual insects and dormant insect eggs gathered by Chang Qi as he traveled through Longchuan, either cleverly acquiring or forcefully seizing them.

Cultivated with the secret techniques of Seven Insect Immortal Mountain, several kinds of spiritual insects had already matured.

Chang Qi stopped outside one of the caves, looking at the dozen or so purple-black Alien Bees that were asleep inside, his eyes shone with a peculiar light, and he murmured to himself, "It's almost time."
