Cultivation Family: Starting by Taking a Concubine and Practicing the Sun and Moon Sutra

Instead of leaving in a hurry, Zhou Daocheng first took a walk around the "Spiritual Beast Garden".

The Mirage Cloud Python sensed the movement and swam over quickly. Its snow-white scales were cleaned very cleanly. In addition, a small pond was built in the "Spiritual Beast Garden" for the Mirage Cloud Python to play.

After nearly two years of growth, the Mirage Cloud Python juvenile has grown a lot, reaching a length of about one meter, but its strength is still only the first-level lower grade.

The monster has a longer lifespan, so its strength increases slowly. Zhou Daocheng was not too worried and threw a piece of blood and flesh to the Mirage Cloud Python.

At this time, Zhou Daocheng found that the Mirage Cloud Python seemed to be raised very well, and it was already plump and looked very round.

It should be that it lacked exercise in the "Spiritual Beast Garden" and Zhao Yunzhi often fed it too much, which caused it to gain some weight recently.

Zhou Daocheng rubbed the Mirage Cloud Python's head and found it very soft. The scales were not particularly hard, and because of the growth of flesh, it felt very soft to the touch.

Raised from childhood, the Mirage Cloud Python has a very gentle personality. It allowed Zhou Daocheng to stroke it, and its eyes narrowed slightly. It has obviously lost its wildness and become a spiritual beast.

Perhaps after a few decades, the strength of the Mirage Cloud Python will be able to be upgraded to the first-class upper grade. By then, it will have good strength and can barely be regarded as a spiritual beast to protect the clan.

After checking the white-feathered spiritual chickens again, it was found that the number had increased to more than 20. They were still quietly staying in the chicken coop, pecking at the spiritual grains on the ground.

The quality of this spiritual bird is very good, and it can provide chicken, chicken feathers, and eggs, three precious materials.

Because the number is relatively small, most of the time it is not sold, but used by itself.

The chicken feathers are directly sent to the Spiritual Equipment Pavilion and used as materials for refining. Many arrow-like magic tools need this kind of chicken feathers.

Chicken and eggs are rich in spirituality, and they will be eaten by themselves to improve their usual meals.

Zhou Daocheng walked into the chicken coop and found a thatched house built next to the chicken coop. There were already a lot of spiritual eggs stored in it, almost a hundred.

They should all be taken care of and stored by Zhao Yunzhi. Whether it is eaten by Zhou Daocheng, the Zhou family, or some of Zhou Daoxiu's children, they will be taken from here.

Zhou Daocheng planned that he should be able to continue to expand the number of this kind of spiritual bird, preferably to breed it on a large scale, increase the supply of chicken and spiritual eggs, and it will definitely be a good income.

After a simple inspection, Zhou Daocheng came to the ant nest of the purple-armored swallowing spirit ant, which is also the most important monster in the entire "Spirit Beast Garden".

Zhou Daocheng had not checked the situation of the ant nest for a while. Now, as soon as he got in, he was shocked by the situation in front of him.

The entrance to the cave seems small, but the space inside is very wide. A large part of the mountain has been hollowed out and built into an ant nest. A large number of lavender ants can be seen coming and going, carrying various foods and spiritual items into the ant nest, like a tight army.

And it can be clearly felt that the strength of these purple-armored soul-swallowing ants has increased a lot, especially the individuals of the first-level middle and first-level upper grades, the number has increased significantly.

Zhou Daocheng came to the core of the ant nest and found the queen ant. He found that its body size had grown a lot, and its strength should have increased a lot, which is equivalent to the second-level cultivator of the foundation-building stage.

It can be seen that during this period of time, it should have absorbed a lot of spiritual honey, so its strength has increased so quickly.

As its strength increased, the queen ant's wisdom also increased rapidly, and it was able to communicate normally with Zhou Daocheng through spiritual consciousness.

Zhou Daocheng also learned about the current situation of the ant nest through inquiries, and couldn't help but sigh at the rapid reproduction speed of this kind of spiritual insect.

The number of the entire purple-armored soul-swallowing ant colony has reached more than 50,000.

Among them, more than 40,000 are all in the early stage of the first level, which is equivalent to the first to third levels of the Qi Refining Stage. Their strength is not very strong, and they are mainly used to collect food and provide a large amount of spiritual honey for the ant colony.

Moreover, the appearance of this group of purple-armored spirit-swallowing ants has changed a lot. Their heads have become very small, their buttocks are flat and wide, and they also have the ability to generate heat, which can quickly form spiritual water beads on their backs and collect them as spiritual honey.

Their daily task is to come to the valley with rich spiritual energy, continuously collect spiritual liquid, and collect spiritual honey for the ant colony.

Zhou Daocheng also specially checked the spiritual honey stored by the ant colony. In the cave behind the ant eggs, a whole wall was piled up, all of which were high-quality and spiritual honey with rich spiritual energy.

It is almost as much as the previous spirit-swallowing ant colony, and the quality of the spiritual honey is even higher, because the concentration of spiritual energy in the area where the valley is located is extremely high, which improves the quality of the spiritual honey to a certain extent, but it lacks some floral and fruity fragrance.

Because the previous spirit-swallowing ant colony mainly collected spiritual substances in tree sap, nectar, and spiritual medicine, so it was relatively fragrant, but now it is completely spiritual and mellow.

There are about 10,000 purple-armored spirit-swallowing ants in the first-stage middle stage. Generally speaking, they no longer collect spirit honey, but serve as protectors of the entire tribe, stationed in various areas of the ant nest.

If they encounter powerful monsters outside, they will also send purple-armored spirit-swallowing ants in the first-stage middle stage to clean them up.

The appearance of purple-armored spirit-swallowing ants at this level has also changed a little, and the purple lines on their bodies are more intense, indicating that their shells have extremely strong defensive capabilities and are not weak in fire and water resistance.

And their forelimbs and mouthparts are very sharp and powerful, and they already have good combat power. When they encounter ordinary first-stage mid-stage monsters, they only need two or three to work together to easily take them down.

Even if they fight alone with monsters of the same level, the purple-armored soul-swallowing ants can rely on their own hard armor to barely remain invincible. Even if they can't beat them, they will definitely have no problem escaping.

And once the number rises to more than three, with mutual cooperation, the combat power will rise sharply, even for cultivators in the middle stage of Qi Refining, there is a great danger.

And in terms of body size alone, the purple-armored soul-swallowing ants are more than twice as large as the ordinary soul-swallowing ants in the past.

Ordinary soul-swallowing ants, in the middle stage of the first stage, are about the size of an adult's fist, and can only rely on group combat, and their individual strength is very weak.

But the size of the purple-armored soul-swallowing ants has now reached the size of their heads, and their strength is very good.

Finally, Zhou Daocheng also saw more than 50 purple-armored soul-swallowing ants in the late stage of the first stage, with a body size of about half a meter, or even larger.

Its combat power is also even stronger. Its purple shell can withstand first-grade top-grade talismans and magical instruments, and its attack power can easily break through the defense of a cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage. It is not weaker than cultivators and monsters of the same level.
