Chapter 12: Pest Control

After an unknown amount of time, Shi Yue slowly opened his eyes.

As soon as he woke up, Shi Yue noticed the changes in himself. His consciousness was much sharper than before.

He was stunned at first, and then he showed a look of joy. He didn't expect that killing insects could temper his consciousness.

You know, the consciousness of a cultivator is generally fixed. It increases with the improvement of the realm. The stronger the consciousness of a cultivator, the sharper the senses, and the more magic tools he can control.

Although the increase in consciousness from killing insects this time is weak, if he kills insects for a long time, the increase in consciousness must be considerable.

As soon as he woke up, Shi Yue got up and left the stone house.

He walked around the spiritual field and found that the yellow spots on the Ningyan tobacco and the Lieyang grass had disappeared, but two problems were placed in front of Shi Yue.

"Where did the scale insects come from? There is no scale insect in the three mu spiritual field?"

When Shi Yue looked up the scale insects, he knew that scale insects are oviparous animals. The eggs of scale insects are very small. In order to increase the survival rate of the larvae, female scale insects usually lay eggs in the seeds and branches of plants so that the larvae have something to eat as soon as they hatch.

He guessed that there should be scale insect eggs in the seeds of Ningyan Tobacco and Lieyang Grass. Because the time loss speed in the mysterious space is ten times that of the outside world, when Shi Yue found the scale insects, they may have reproduced for several generations and there are many of them. If they were found later, the spiritual medicine in the spiritual field would probably be eaten up by them.

As for whether there are still scale insects in the spiritual field, Shi Yue dares to guarantee that there are definitely scale insects. The three mu spiritual field is so large that there must be fish that slip through the net, but the number is not large!

Killing all the scale insects in the elixir is only a temporary solution, not a cure. To cure the root cause, all scale insects must be killed. As long as one scale insect escapes, it may come back again.

Shi Yue thought about it and left the mysterious space.

He searched the wooden shelf in Uncle Zhou's basement and found a book called "100 Essentials for Killing Insects".

"100 Essentials for Killing Insects", just by hearing the name of this book, you know that this book records the methods of killing insects.

Shi Yue looked it up word by word, fearing that he might have missed something.

This book "100 Essentials for Killing Insects" lists hundreds of pests and describes dozens of methods of killing pests. The killing methods are different according to the body characteristics of each pest.

Larger pests can be killed with spells, such as fireball, wind blade, water arrow, etc. Smaller pests such as scale insects need to be killed with Gengjin Qimang. However, there is a method of killing pests that is effective for many pests, that is, killing pests with insects.

With the help of the power of spiritual insects, the pests in the spiritual field are killed. This method is not only time-saving, but also highly efficient. Just give orders to the spiritual insects to kill pests, and they will follow the orders.

"Hundred Essentials for Killing Insects" lists a variety of spiritual insects that can kill pests, including spiritual bees, spiritual butterflies, spiritual ants, etc. Among them, spiritual bees are the first choice.

In addition to killing pests, spiritual bees can also eat pollen and nectar. Nectar can sometimes be prepared and stored as honey. At the same time, when spiritual bees collect pollen between flowers, they will drop some pollen on other flowers, causing cross-pollination of plants, which can increase the yield of spiritual grains and fruits.

Seeing this, Shi Yue was slightly moved. Spirit bees can not only kill pests, but also make honey. They are indeed the best choice for killing pests.

He put the "100 Essentials for Killing Insects" back on the wooden shelf, walked out of the basement quickly, and flew to the Deacon Hall.

After arriving at the Deacon Hall, Shi Yue went straight to the third floor.

"Brother, do you have any spirit bee larvae?" Shi Yue walked to a counter and asked the deacon disciple behind the counter.

"There are several kinds, spirit-eating bees, silver spider bees, five-color bees, and Yinluo bees. I wonder which one you want?" The deacon disciple said with a smile.

"I want to buy some to catch pests in the spirit field. I wonder which kind of spirit bee is suitable?" Shi Yue raised his eyebrows and asked when he heard this.

"These kinds of spirit bees can catch pests, but each has its own strengths. In addition to collecting pollen and nectar for food, the spirit-eating bees also hunt other spirit insects and pests; the silver spider bees can weave spider webs and use them to kill pests; the five-color bees are relatively large and have a large appetite; the Yin Luo bees are gentle and reproduce slowly. The eggs of these four kinds of spirit bees, except for the silver spider bees, which are ten contribution points each, the other three spirit bees are five contribution points each. I wonder which one you want?" The deacon disciple introduced word by word.

After listening to the deacon disciple's introduction, Shi Yue's face showed a thoughtful look.

In addition to exchanging things with contribution points, you can also buy them with spirit stones, but the price is slightly more expensive than the market price of one or two spirit stones, so it is naturally more cost-effective to exchange with contribution points.

Shi Yue has accumulated for many years, but he has only accumulated more than 100 contribution points. The contribution points exchanged for the silver spider bee are higher, which is not within Shi Yue's consideration. In this way, he can only choose one of the three spirit bees: the spirit-eating bee, the five-color bee, and the Yin Luo bee.

"Well, I want six soul-eating bee eggs." Shi Yue said after a moment's hesitation.

The deacon nodded, took a green wooden box from the shelf behind him, and handed it to Shi Yue.

Shi Yue opened it and saw six mung bean-sized white eggs inside, which emitted a faint spiritual fluctuation.

He nodded with satisfaction, marked 30 contribution points, put the wooden box in his arms, and turned to leave.

After leaving the Deacon Hall, Shi Yue went to the Sutra Library and copied a jade slip that recorded the taming of spirit insects.

After returning to Uncle Zhou's cave, Shi Yue immediately took out a jade slip and stuck it between his eyebrows.

Not long after, he took off the jade slip and took out a green wooden box from his arms.

Shi Yue's mind moved, and he appeared in the mysterious space.

According to the jade slip, the hatching of insect eggs needs to be in a place with abundant spiritual energy. The more abundant the spiritual energy, the faster the hatching time of the insect eggs.

The spiritual energy in the mysterious space is not much different from Uncle Zhou's residence, but the time is ten times that of the outside world. Putting the insect eggs in the mysterious space to hatch will definitely shorten the hatching time.

He walked into the stone house, took out more than ten spiritual stones, and put them on the stone bed, intending to put the insect eggs on the stone bed to hatch.

An astonishing scene appeared. When Shi Yue put more than ten spiritual stones on the stone bed, more than ten milky white spiritual stones turned grayish white at a speed visible to the naked eye. Obviously, this was a sign that the spiritual energy in the spiritual stones was sucked dry.

"This... the stone bed can absorb the spiritual energy in the spiritual stones?" Seeing this scene, Shi Yue was shocked and his face was full of disbelief.

If this is true, then the stone bed can also absorb the mana in his body?

Thinking of this, Shi Yue's face was uncertain.

He thought for a while, took out another spiritual stone and put it on the stone bed.

Almost in the blink of an eye, this spiritual stone quickly turned grayish white.

Seeing this scene, Shi Yue's face changed and he took a few steps back, fearing that the mana in his body would be sucked dry by the stone bed.

Shi Yue thought about it carefully. He had slept in the stone house before, and his mana did not decrease at all. In other words, the stone bed would not absorb his mana at all. The stone bed would only absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit stone.

Shi Yue thought for a moment and walked out of the stone house quickly. He was surprised to find that the spiritual energy in the air seemed to be a little more abundant than before. Although the increase was small, he still noticed it.

"Can the spiritual energy in the mysterious space become more abundant by absorbing the spiritual energy in the spirit stone?" Shi Yue muttered to himself in a low voice, with an excited look on his face.

He hesitated for a moment, took out ten spirit stones, stood outside the stone house, and threw the ten spirit stones on the stone bed.

The ten milky white spirit stones soon turned gray again.

Shi Yue could feel that the spiritual energy in the air was indeed a little more abundant. Although the increase was not much, it was enough to prove his guess.

"If the spiritual energy in the mysterious space becomes more abundant, won't the time for the spiritual grains and spiritual medicines planted in the mysterious space to mature be shorter?"

Shi Yue was very excited when he thought of this.

Next, Shi Yue conducted several experiments and found that if the spiritual stone was thrown into the stone house, the stone house would absorb the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone, thereby increasing the concentration of the spiritual energy in the mysterious space. If the spiritual stone was thrown on the ground outside the stone house, there would be no reaction.

In other words, if you want to increase the concentration of the spiritual energy in the mysterious space, you only need to throw the spiritual stone into the stone house.

This discovery made Shi Yue very excited.

After the excitement, he immediately regained his composure. Since the stone house would absorb the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone, he naturally could not put the insect eggs in the stone house to hatch.

He took out a porcelain bowl and cut his arm with a knife. The bright red blood immediately flowed down his arm and dripped into the porcelain bowl.

Then, Shi Yue started to chant something. Not long after, he stopped chanting and cast several spells into the blood in the porcelain bowl.

The blood in the porcelain bowl started to turn and automatically floated in the air. After a while of rolling and surging, it turned into eighteen blood-colored runes the size of fingernails.

Shi Yue took out a green wooden box from his arms, opened it, pointed at the six insect eggs in the box, and said softly, "Go."

As soon as the words fell, eighteen blood-colored runes flew quickly towards the insect eggs in the box, and each egg had three blood-colored runes immersed in it.

Seeing this, Shi Yue nodded, took out an empty jar, put ten spirit stones into the jar, and then put the green wooden box into the jar.

After doing all this, Shi Yue covered the jar with a piece of gauze and put the jar outside the stone house.

Because the scale insects had not been completely killed, Shi Yue did not plant spiritual grains in the vacant one-acre spiritual field. He walked around the two-acre spiritual field and carefully checked every spiritual medicine.

As expected by Shi Yue, the scale insects were not completely killed, and there were still many fish that escaped. Seeing these fish that escaped, Shi Yue certainly would not be polite. He used the "Geng Jin Jue" to release the Geng Jin Qi and killed all the scale insects he encountered.

Shi Yue stayed in the mysterious space for ten days. Most of the time he was patrolling the spiritual field, activating the Geng Jin Qi, and killing all the scale insects he found. The rest of the time was used for cultivation.

The long-term activation of the Geng Jin Qi to kill scale insects greatly tempered Shi Yue's spiritual consciousness and increased his spiritual consciousness a little.
