Spirit Insects generally are not as resilient as Spirit Beasts, easily killed by enemies during combat which greatly impacts the owner; hence, most Cultivators of the Spirit Control Sect choose Spirit Beasts as their Life-Bound Spirit Beasts, and Spirit Birds are also quite popular.
“Today I’m responsible for the lecture, and I presume you all recognize me, so I won’t introduce myself further.
The types of Spirit Insects are numerous and varied, including Diptera, Hymenoptera, Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, Hemiptera, Orthoptera, Blattodea, and Odonata.
Different types of Spirit Insects have different habits, growth environments, and divine skills.
The Spirit Insects I breed the most are of the Blattodea type, with the Eight-Winged Thunderfire Centipede being one of them.
Let’s start from the cultivation of the Eight-Winged Thunderfire Centipede!”
“The Eight-Winged Thunderfire Centipede masters divine skills of thunder and fire attributes, and prefers hot and muggy thundery environments.
Whether breeding Spirit Insects, Spirit Beasts, or Spirit Birds, it’s best to place them in environments they favor.
Do not always keep them in Spirit Beast bags.
For example, with the Eight-Winged Thunderfire Centipede, a Second Stage Array Master was hired to set up an Engulfing Flame Formation at its habitat and plant twenty acres of Scarlet Flame Ginseng to feed it…”
Xu Feng elaborated on his experience in breeding the Eight-Winged Thunderfire Centipede, with introductions to everything from habitat construction to feeding.
His voice wasn’t loud, but with the help of Sound Cicadas, it carried far and was heard clearly by the Cultivators at Debate Peak.
Shen Long listened to Xu Feng’s presentation and shook his head.
Xu Feng’s experience in breeding Spirit Insects could offer some reference, but not much.
Upon detecting his Spiritual Root, his grandfather had passed on a Middle Stage, First Order Eight-Winged Thunderfire Centipede to him, hired a Second Stage Array Master to set up an Engulfing Flame Formation, and planted twenty acres of Scarlet Flame Ginseng.
It took more than twenty years’ worth of Scarlet Flame Ginseng to feed the Eight-Winged Thunderfire Centipede, giving it a Spirit Feeding Pill every ten days—it was entirely a result of heavy resource investment, which a regular Qi Refining Cultivator wouldn’t have access to.
The rich have their way of breeding, and the poor have theirs.
“To put it simply, to cultivate a Spirit Beast, one should build a suitable habitat.
Unless necessary, raise them in their habitat, rather than keep them in a Spirit Beast bag all the time.
Regularly feed them Miracle Elixirs, and train them frequently in combat.
Tailor your approach according to your own conditions.
Don’t mimic me; not many have the resources I do,” Xu Feng said.
His grandparents, father, and mother were all Foundation Establishment Cultivators, with over five hundred acres of Spirit Fields, and their annual salaries combined were quite substantial, not to mention they owned two shops.
While most disciples of the Spirit Control Sect were striving for Foundation Establishment, his goal was Core Formation.
“If you have any questions, feel free to ask,” Xu Feng said.
Ning Qianqian stood up and said, “Master Uncle Xu, Disciple Ning Qianqian.
I have been breeding some Gold-Winged Fire Ants, but the Ant Queen isn’t laying many eggs.
Even after consulting the tomes in the Scripture Pavilion, and constructing a suitable habitat, and even after consuming some Miracle Elixirs, there hasn’t been much effect.”
“Let the Ant Queen out so I can see,” Xu Feng instructed.
Ning Qianqian acknowledged and slapped her golden Spirit Beast bag at her waist, from which a streak of gold light flew out towards Xu Feng.
The gold light was a two-foot-long red giant ant with a pair of golden wings on its back.
After carefully examining the body of the Gold-Winged Fire Ant Queen, Xu Feng asked, “Have you been using it to fight others?”
“Yes!
But its injuries weren’t serious; after some rest, it’s lively again.
Could the egg-laying issue be related to this?” Ning Qianqian asked.
“If I’m not mistaken, it was hit by a thunder attribute spell, right?” Xu Feng said.
“Exactly, I await Master Uncle Xu’s guidance,” Ning Qianqian said.
“Go buy an elixir that treats Thunder Strike injuries and let it recuperate for some time.
It actually hasn’t recovered fully.
A reduction in egg-laying is already indicative of the problem.
If I’m not wrong, its abdomen was hit by a thunder attribute spell!” Xu Feng answered.
“Indeed, thank you for your guidance, Master Uncle Xu,” Ning Qianqian said gratefully.
“In the future, if you confront those impenetrable Demon Ants, focus on their abdomens; it will be more effective.
And remember that it’s not advisable to do so during friendly sparring; it could harm the camaraderie,” Xu Feng instructed.
“Yes, Master Uncle (Senior Brother) Xu,” the Cultivators responded in unison.
Following that, multiple Cultivators stood up to ask questions, seeking advice on rearing Spirit Insects, even bringing them for Xu Feng to examine.
The topics ranged from breeding to combat, with Xu Feng addressing each inquiry.
After more than an hour, following Xu Feng’s response to a Disciple’s question, several dozen Cultivators stood up—including Shen Long, all of them stating their names and expressing their wishes to ask Xu Feng questions.
Xu Feng’s gaze fell on Shen Long and he said, “Shen Long?
Are you Shen Long from Green Cloud Peak?”
“Yes, Disciple.
Does Master Uncle know of me?” Shen Long asked, his face full of confusion.
He was just a Qi Refining Cultivator, while Xu Feng resided at Golden Toad Peak, yet he knew of Shen Long’s existence.
“My great-grandmother is Sun Yao; she mentioned you to me.
What would you like to ask?” Xu Feng explained.
Within the Spirit Control Sect, there were many families with intricate relationships.
Xu Feng had many relatives whom he didn’t personally know.
Sun Yao was quite close to his family; she visited Golden Cicada Peak and brought up Shen Long in casual conversation with Xu Feng.
“Disciple would like to ask how a Spirit Insect can mutate,” Shen Long inquired.
“Whether it’s Spirit Insects, Spirit Beasts, or Spirit Birds, mutation is a difficult matter, one in ten thousand, perhaps.
The direction of mutation is uncontrollable; they may gain powerful divine skills or inconsequential ones.
Generally, a Spirit Insect consuming a large amount of high-tier demon cores or essence blood from its own kind has a certain chance to mutate. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Some special Miracle Elixirs can also induce mutations.
Whichever method is used, it’s only a chance, not a certainty that mutation will occur,” Xu Feng replied.
