Gou Zai Shen seeks immortality

Insect control techniques to control common mosquitoes are quite simple and require no operation at all.

You can only control one target at first. Once you become proficient, you can control ten mosquitoes at a time.

Not much spiritual energy was consumed. Even though Jia Ren was only at the third level of Qi refining, he easily controlled hundreds of mosquitoes and formed a mosquito army.

“Proficiency levels increase so quickly!”

[Insect Control (Mortal): Beginner (52/100)]

"It's a pity that it's an incomplete version, the upper limit is not high, so just use it!"

The proficiency of the incomplete version of insect control is far inferior to that of normal spells, and its potential is limited.

In a short time, the insect control technique had reached its limit.

[Insect Control Technique (Mortal): Proficient (Extreme)]

The sensitivity of skilled-level insect control techniques has been increased, and the range of control and influence has been expanded by at least one-third.

Jia Ren ordered more than 300 mosquitoes to stand guard outside the stone house and attack all approaching targets.

"I feel a little more secure..."

It's ridiculous to get a sense of security from mosquitoes.

This is indeed the case, at least when foreign enemies invade, mosquitoes are the first line of defense.

Jia Ren tasted the benefits of insect control and continued to study.

Mortal insects are just passers-by, and cultivating your own spiritual insects is the way to go.

Although the spirit insects are not strong in combat and belong to the same sewer level, the spirit insects have obvious strengths. Many spirit insects have group characteristics. Once they form a large scale, the monks of the same level will also have to stay away.

The most famous one is the spirit-eating ant. There was once a wave of spirit-eating ants in the wilderness, with a scale of hundreds of billions. There was no living thing wherever it passed, and even high-level monsters fled in panic.

Having mastered the art of insect control, Jia Ren is very interested in spirit-devouring ants, and may be able to control them in the future.

"It's best to go into the wilderness to find spiritual insects. The risk is too high and we won't consider it."

"The second one is...Lingtian."

There are many spiritual insects such as earth dragon worms and ground horn worms in the spiritual field, all of which can be used as targets for cultivation.

There are not many low-level spiritual insects recorded in the incomplete version of Insect Control Technique, and Jia Ren memorizes them one by one.

"I'll find fellow Taoist Yang Bingzhi tomorrow. The worst I can do is spend some broken souls and go to his spiritual field."

Establishing a mosquito defense line is not enough.

"Sulfur, saltpeter, charcoal..."

Jia Ren made the gunpowder without much difficulty according to the gunpowder ratio related to his memory.

I have conceived two types of traps based on gunpowder: burning traps and explosive traps.

The former mainly relies on burning damage when the target falls into a trap, while the latter mainly relies on explosion damage.

Jia Ren chose to abandon the former and choose the explosive trap.

The reason for making this choice is naturally that monks have many ways to save their lives, and ordinary fire cannot compare with the spiritual fire of monks. Continuous mortal fire burns cannot have an immediate effect, and it is even more difficult to kill the target.

The explosion trap is mainly about explosions, which catches the monks off guard. The movement caused by the explosion can also remind themselves and attract the law enforcement team.

We don't expect gunpowder to do much damage to the monks, and it is mainly used for early night protection.

"Add iron pieces to the gunpowder barrel to increase the damage."

Jia Ren decisively started making it, and before long, the sealed small gunpowder barrel had been made.

Next is the issue of triggering the ignition of the powder keg.

The ignition charm triggers? Mechanism triggered?

The igniting talisman has spiritual energy fluctuations, which will definitely arouse the monks' vigilance.

The latter can be made into a simple mechanism, which is connected to a fire sickle containing fire. After the mechanism is triggered, the powder keg fuze contacts the fire in the fire sickle, thereby achieving the detonation effect.

Jia Ren dug holes overnight, focusing on placing traps in front of doors and windows.

After carefully setting it up, Jia Ren's sense of security doubled.

There is another hidden danger.

Trap accidentally hurt yourself!

If you don't want to fall victim to a gunpowder explosion, it's best to dig tunnels and chambers underground.

Build tunnels and secret rooms to help you escape smoothly when encountering powerful enemies.

Jia Ren had a similar idea at first, but unfortunately, he did not master the relevant earth spells. Relying on manual work was time-consuming, laborious, inefficient, and was temporarily stranded.

"After a few days to control the ground dragon worms and ground hornworms, I can completely let them work as coolies. I only need to be responsible for supervising the work."

"It's time to master the wind control technique!"

…

The next day.

Jia Ren rested particularly well and was full of energy.

Be careful to avoid accidentally stepping into traps. After breakfast, continue to the West District Fangshi to set up stalls.

The only broken spirit in my hand was paid for the stall fee, and there was no more spiritual stone in my pocket.

As soon as I found a suitable place to set up my stall, a familiar face sneaked up to me.

It was the casual cultivator who bought fifty-five baits yesterday.

"Fellow Taoist is finally here!"

"The bait is really useful. Give me a hundred pieces today!"

The San Xiu's face was full of red light and he was high-spirited.

The bait worked well yesterday and the catch was good.

Different from the trial version given initially, the subsequent proficiency level in making bait is getting higher and higher, and the bait effect is even better than the trial version given by Jia Ren.

As long as you have used top-notch bait, you will never look down on earthworms and low-level bait from now on.

"I will give you ten coins as a gift to my Taoist friends and wish you a good harvest."

As a regular customer who will continue to take care of business in the future, Jia Ren is happy to give him a discount.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist!"

Putting away the bait, the casual cultivator put on his mask and left in a hurry.

"He wants to eat alone!"

"Not only did they not help promote the bait, but the catches were also sold in other trading areas. In order to prevent the casual cultivators in the West District from discovering the bait, they monopolized the high-quality bait."

Jia Ren has been setting up a stall on the main road in the West District and has never seen this person selling spiritual fish.

"That's not a good thing for me."

Jia Ren put away a piece of spiritual stone, feeling unhappy.

What about the trust between monks?

Just at this moment, several figures appeared and gathered in front of Jia Ren's stall when they saw the casual cultivators buying bait walking away.

"Did you buy the bait for more than 30 spiritual fishes caught yesterday from here?"

"You are mysterious and don't want us to get rich. What a villain."

The casual cultivators ignored Jia Ren and exchanged information with each other.

Caught more than thirty spiritual fish?

Are you afraid that you can sell more than ten spiritual stones?

No wonder I bought a hundred pieces of bait today.

Jia Ren's envy disappeared in a flash, and he had a vague hunch in his heart that he would get a lot of spiritual stones today.

"How to sell bait?"

"Don't look at us and just want to trick us!"

“If we provide high-quality bait, we will all be regular customers in the future.”

Don't think of casual cultivators as fools. They will swarm over wherever there is profit.

Five days ago, Jia Ren made six pieces of spirit by selling spirit fish, which attracted casual cultivators to follow Yanbo Lake. This was the best lesson.

The monk surnamed Shen wanted to eat alone, and the casual cultivators were not fools, so how could he hide it?

"Exquisite bait, ten broken spirits per piece, absolutely effective."

Quality does not require too much explanation. The casual cultivator named Shen has already proved it with facts.

"Fifty pieces of bait!"

"Sixty pieces of bait!"

The casual cultivators took out their spiritual stones to buy them and rushed to Yanbo Lake, fearing that the spiritual fish would be gone if they were too late.

After a while, another sneaky guy appeared in the distance.

"If I buy more bait, is there any discount on the price?"

Jia Ren was stunned for a moment and seemed to understand something.

“The more bait you buy, the more bait you will receive as a gift.”

"How much bait will be given for more than a thousand pieces?"

Sure enough!

This guy is probably a second-rate dealer who wants to buy goods from his own hands and sell them to Yanbo Lake to make a fortune.

High-quality bait has a high hook rate, and stimulated by rich catches, the bait is sold at a terrifying speed.

The shot is a thousand pieces, proving that the other party has unique vision.

If you don't do a business with high enough profits, someone will naturally do it.

"How about giving away one hundred and fifty coins from a thousand coins?"

"At this price."

"Maybe we can continue to cooperate in the future."

The second dealer did not bargain and completed the transaction happily.

I bought ten spirit stones and completed a big business.
