Chapter 260: Chapter 129: Li Feiyu Leaves, the Lu Family Ancestor Passes Away!_1
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining a ‘Six-Winged Golden Silkworm’ larva!]
[The reward has been delivered to the System Space, the Host can check at any time]
A golden insect pattern with a shining glow and a pair of wings on its back emerged from the big roulette wheel, accompanied by the sound of a system notification.
“Six-Winged Golden Silkworm?”
Lu Changsheng looked at the reward drawn by the system, his eyebrows raised.
He hadn’t expected that among pet beasts, there were not only beasts but also bugs.
“This means that the pet lottery encompasses everything, feathers, fur, scales, insects, plants, and so on.”
“If that’s the case, in the future if I draw a plant demon pet, I won’t have to worry about the spirit plants for cultivating the ‘Heavenly Longevity Technique’.”
Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
He had not forgotten the ‘Heavenly Longevity Technique’ he had acquired from Xia Long.
He had always thought that once he had the strength and conditions, he would have his wives and children plant trees for cultivation.
Without further thought.
Lu Changsheng’s mental spirit gave a slight stir as he looked towards the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm he had just drawn.
[Magical Bug: Six-Winged Golden Silkworm]
[Rank: Heaven Rank Superior]
[Description: One of the ancient rare insect species, lays eggs once every hundred years, hatches into larvae after another century. Newly hatched larvae have only one pair of wings, but mature ones have three. They are fearless against divine skills and magic, but are ferocious, with low intelligence and difficult to tame]
“Sss, a Heaven Rank Superior magical bug?”
“Even a rank higher than the Nine Netherhound’s bloodline.”
“I wonder how long it will take for this Six-Winged Golden Silkworm to mature and develop six wings.”
Lu Changsheng considered the information about the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm, thinking to himself.
What concerned him most was how long it would take for the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm to grow.
After all, at the moment, the most challenging part about pet beasts was their cultivation phase.
Cultivation times spanning dozens or hundreds of years were truly testing.
For example, the Nine Netherhound had been at First Grade Primary Level for many years.
Only about half a year ago, when Lu Changsheng finally had some surplus funds, he bought some Spiritual Beast Pills for Lu Ping’an to feed it regularly.
It’s now almost reaching the First Grade Middle Stage.
Regarding the system’s description that the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm is ferocious, unintelligent, and hard to tame, Lu Changsheng didn’t take it to heart at all.
What does difficulty in taming have to do with him?
“Extract!”
With a flicker of his mental spirit, Lu Changsheng took the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm out of the System Space.
Instantly, a golden silkworm about an inch long, as thick as a little finger, appeared.
This silkworm had a pair of thin, cicada-like wings behind it.
The wings shimmered with a faint golden light and emanated a violent and murderous aura.
“The Six-Winged Golden Silkworm lays eggs every hundred years, hatches in another hundred, and when the larvae hatch, they are as hard as iron, comparable to magic artifacts, and immune to Primary Level techniques.”
“To grow from a larva to a four-winged silkworm, it takes two hundred years, equivalent to Third Rank strength. To grow from four wings to six wings, corresponding to Fourth Rank peak, it needs a thousand years.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm in his hand and developed a general understanding of its condition.
Impressive, indeed.
Just hatched larvae had almost the strength of the First Grade later stages.
After raising it for a few decades, it would have the strength of a Second Rank Foundation Establishment.
Once it went through its first metamorphosis and grew its second pair of wings, it would have Third Rank strength.
Another thousand years of growth to sprout the third pair of wings and it would be at the peak of Fourth Rank, comparable to Fifth Rank.
For a demon beast, this time frame is not long.
But for Lu Changsheng, it was way too long.
“Pet beasts are of little use to me at my current stage, they can’t directly enhance my strength.”
“However, if these pet beasts can be cultivated and grow, they will all be formidable indeed, probably invincible at their respective ranks.”
Lu Changsheng sighed slightly, shaking his head.
He then tried to sense the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm before him.
Just like with the Nine Netherhound and the Peach Blossom Gu, he felt a connection with this Six-Winged Golden Silkworm.
But just as the system description said.
This Six-Winged Golden Silkworm was ferocious, not intelligent, and it was impossible to communicate properly.
He could only transmit some simple commands.
For example, to kill.
“If it weren’t for the system having tamed it for me, this Six-Winged Golden Silkworm would probably kill anyone it saw.”
“For now, let’s just raise it, if I can find the corresponding methods to control and tame insects, the growth of this Six-Winged Golden Silkworm could be sped up quite a bit.”
Lu Changsheng thought to himself without lingering further.
He then put the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm into the Spiritual Pet Bag that held the Lockheart Gu.
The Lockheart Gu, which looked listless and as if it was on its last breath, suddenly became alert as if it was frightened by the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm.
Seeing this scene, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but think of Meng Xiaochan.
She was clearly proficient in the art of insect control.
He wondered if she knew how to cultivate the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm.
If there were corresponding cultivation methods, then its growth rate could be greatly increased.
But Lu Changsheng didn’t ponder on it too much.
His only connection to her was through the Lockheart Gu.
He had no idea where she had gone now.
Moreover, for a rare magical insect like the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm, it was feared that cultivation methods were hard to come by.
…
Jin Kingdom, the southern border mountains.
In the bleak and wild swamps of the mountains, a girl in a purple dress commanded a swarm of insects to kill several snake demon beasts.
After letting the swarm of insects and a blood-colored spider consume the bodies of the snake demon beasts, the girl continued on her way.
When she emerged from the swamp and saw the peak shrouded in purple-black clouds, mysterious and towering into the clouds ahead, her face showed a look of surprise.
“Grandma said that my great-grandma was once the Heaven Spider Emissary of the Five Poisons Cult, one of the three great demon sects of the southern border of Jin Kingdom.”
“The Five Poisons Cult is skilled in the arts of Gu poison and spiritual beasts. I have the Thousand Poisons Body and can hold great-grandma’s token to join the Five Poisons Cult.”
“If only I hadn’t lost the Lockheart Gu, with it, I might have been able to become the Holy Maiden of the Five Poisons Cult.”
