I rely on length to cultivate immortality

The studious Li Xiuchang made a "schedule" for himself.

Every ten days, "one, three, five, seven, and nine" he went to Senior Brother Luyang to learn the skills of spiritual cooking and immortal brewing, "two" he went to Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi to learn refining, "four" he followed Senior Brother Motu to practice spiritual plants and soul control skills, "six" he went to Senior Brother Chen Changsheng to learn about talismans, "eight" Wenwen came to teach formations, and "ten" he took a day off and dealt with various trivial matters.

This only day of rest was actually reserved for Senior Sister Xia Sijun.

When Senior Sister Xia moved into the Donggeng District, that day would be used to learn the way of alchemy.

In short, it was very busy, and the courses were very full, comparable to registered disciples.

On every day of rest, Li Xiuchang would gather all the ghost employees to hold a multi-ghost party in the medicine field, so that the strength of his ghosts would rise steadily.

However, as the three giants of the ghosts, such as Su Qingchun, entered the late third stage, Li Xiuchang gradually realized that the fruit of the Youhan tree was no longer as effective as before.

After all, the level of the Youhan fruit is a bit behind, after all, it is only a third-level spiritual fruit.

Li Xiuchang had to take out another seed of Youhan grass, put in six inches of length at a time, enlarge it into a giant seed, and plant it in the medicine field.

If nothing goes wrong, this seed should be able to grow a fourth-level Youhan tree.

Li Xiuchang has thought about doing it in one step, adding a few inches of length to directly get the eighth-level and ninth-level Youhan tree seeds.

But his skill level of a third-level spiritual plant husband is already the limit of planting fourth-level spiritual plants.

Moreover, the higher the level, the slower the growth. Even if Li Xiuchang has various ripening methods, it is unknown how many years it will take to ripen the top-level spiritual plants.

…

Time flies, and it has been the fifth year since Li Xiuchang joined the Xianchen Sect!

Recently, Li Xiuchang has had many happy events.

The golden halberd rhinoceros beetle that he has cultivated for a long time is finally about to break out of the cocoon!

Li Xiuchang has been looking forward to this day.

During the period when the larvae were pupating, he could only feel that the breath in the pupa was getting stronger and stronger. Not long ago, it finally broke through to the third level.

Therefore, Li Xiuchang was full of expectations for his third-level spiritual pet.

The glittering metallic pupa shell began to fade. That was the larvae absorbing the energy from the pupa shell and accumulating strength to prepare for metamorphosis.

The pupa shell, which originally seemed indestructible, immediately became fragile after the energy was sucked dry. With a crisp "click", cracks began to appear on the pupa shell.

The cracks spread rapidly and became larger and larger. The first thing to break out of the shell was a golden sharp horn!

The golden horn broke through the pupa shell, and the golden hook-like legs of the golden halberd rhinoceros beetle pulled and cleaned all the pupa shells attached to its body.

At this time, it was just breaking out of the pupa, and it had not yet completely completed metamorphosis.

At this time, the back wings still looked white, but they were transforming into gold as time passed.

Li Xiuchang's spiritual sense was focused on the golden halberd hermit beetle, which was as big as a small mountain in the beast bag. He felt the pressure of its size. This guy was now a circle bigger than before.

It seems that he must first let it learn the "Turtle Art" taken from the little turtle before he can release it.

Li Xiuchang did not disturb the golden halberd hermit beetle's metamorphosis. During this process, the aura of the golden halberd hermit beetle was still steadily improving.

When it was completed, its whole body turned golden, like a golden tank, looking majestic.

"Cool!"

Li Xiuchang imagined the scene of himself sitting on the back of the golden halberd hermit beetle, which made up for the shortcoming that his Yima Dharma image could not be used as a mount.

The cultivation level of the golden halberd hermit beetle is now stable at the middle stage of the third level!

The cultivation level is close to Li Xiuchang.

Of course, this does not mean that the golden halberd hermit beetle has the cultivation level of the middle stage of the third level when it is born. At this stage, it is actually equivalent to the human being who has just reached adulthood.

The real birth of the golden halberd hermit beetle refers to when it hatches from the insect egg.

So in fact, although Li Xiuchang and the Golden Halberd Rhinoceros Beetle have never communicated, Li Xiuchang has actually fed it for more than a year and almost two years.

The Golden Halberd Rhinoceros Beetle has long been familiar with Li Xiuchang and regards him as its master and even a parent.

This kind of loyalty is something that those spiritual pets that are directly bought will never have.

Even without any contract constraints, Li Xiuchang does not have to worry about the Golden Halberd Rhinoceros Beetle betraying or running away.

Feeling the contact with Li Xiuchang's spiritual consciousness, the Golden Halberd Rhinoceros Beetle excitedly crawled around in the beast bag and even flapped its wings for the first flight of its insect life.

It can't speak, mainly because no one taught it.

But it can communicate directly with Li Xiuchang through spiritual consciousness.

Communication between spiritual consciousness does not need to be limited by language, and can also directly convey what is in the mind.

The first thought that the Golden Halberd Rhinoceros Beetle conveyed to Li Xiuchang was not that he wanted to come out and take a look.

Translated into human language, it is probably: Master, I'm hungry!

"After sleeping for so long, are you hungry just after coming out?"

Li Xiuchang thought about it, after all, the process of metamorphosis is very consuming.

He thought that after becoming a third-level spirit beast, the golden halberd rhinoceros beetle could also practice fasting like human cultivators.

However, it seems that demon beasts are indeed different from human cultivators. Many high-level demon beasts still need to eat, but they will not starve to death if they don't eat.

However, good food seems to promote the growth of demon beasts.

So the question is, what does the golden halberd rhinoceros beetle eat after it has emerged as an adult?

Do they eat meat or vegetables?

Normally, they should eat vegetables, but the key is that the golden halberd rhinoceros beetle cultivated by Li Xiuchang is not normal.

Li Xiuchang took out the food it usually eats in the larval stage, the fourth-level fermented sawdust, but the Golden Halberd Rhinoceros Beetle, which has been picky about food since the larval stage, really didn't buy it.

It conveyed its consciousness: "No."

Li Xiuchang replaced it with the fourth-level spiritual wood and the fourth-level spiritual grass, but the Golden Halberd Rhinoceros Beetle refused them all.

Did it change to eating meat?

Li Xiuchang took some spiritual meat ingredients and put them into the beast bag.

As a result, the Golden Halberd Rhinoceros Beetle avoided it with disdain.

"Then what do you want to eat?" Li Xiuchang asked with his consciousness.

However, the Golden Halberd Rhinoceros Beetle, which has never had much contact with the outside world, cannot accurately express the food it needs.

Seeing this, Li Xiuchang could only take some of the miscellaneous things in his storage bag and put them in front of the Golden Halberd Rhinoceros Beetle, like a full moon grabbing the first week, and let it choose by itself.

As a result, the Golden Halberd Rhinoceros Beetle picked up a piece of third-level ore and started to chew it!

"Eat ore?"

Li Xiuchang observed and found that the Golden Halberd Rhinoceros Beetle actually eats all kinds of ores.

Or it eats all kinds of hard materials, preferring all kinds of metal materials.

He thought about it, took out a low-grade magic weapon and fed it to the Golden Halberd Rhinoceros Beetle. Unexpectedly, this guy also gnawed it with relish.

What Li Xiuchang fed it was the life magic weapon he had obtained from the demon cultivators before.

Those demon cultivators were all dead, but the life magic weapon had become scrap iron and could not be used.

However, the materials of these magic weapons themselves were still there. Even if they were low-grade life magic weapons, they were at least made of third-level or even fourth-level materials.

This happened to be a good way to make use of waste.

The Golden Halberd Rhinoceros Beetle gnawed the magic weapon like gnawed rice crust, biting off a large piece in one bite, chewing it in the mouth, crunchy, and eating it sweetly.

It ate up a low-grade magic weapon in a short while.

Li Xiuchang quickly threw a few more life magic weapons to it.

"It's really good at eating."

It ate a low-grade magic weapon in just a few minutes. It looked like it was far from full.

But looking at its physique, it can be imagined that it is normal to have a big appetite.

"Fortunately, the life treasures of the deceased are no different from scrap metal, and the price is cheap. I will buy some of them to feed you in the future."

"Although my family is rich, we should save as much as possible. Even if there are mines at home, they can't withstand your production."

Li Xiuchang was very grateful that there was such a thing as the life treasure of the deceased. Otherwise, he would have to rely on lengthening to produce a large amount of metal materials to feed this gold-eating beast.

The life treasure of the deceased cannot be used or re-refined, so it has basically no value. It is something that no one buys and sells in the market.

Li Xiuchang should be able to buy a lot of it by giving some spirit stones.

After eating three low-grade life treasures in a row, the Golden Halberd Rhinoceros Beetle stopped eating.

After eating, Li Xiuchang noticed that its golden shell seemed to be more shiny.

"Can swallowing metal strengthen the shell?"

At this time, the Golden Halberd Rhinoceros Beetle once again transmitted its thoughts to Li Xiuchang, which roughly translated to: Master, eat this!

With a picture, the picture is the bone powder of the beast king.

You really pay attention to balanced nutrition. You just supplemented iron and now you need calcium.

Li Xiuchang has enough Beast King Bone Powder. He put a ton of it in the beast bag, so that the Golden Halberd Rhinoceros Beetle can eat a buffet of Beast King Bone Powder.

"Don't forget to study after you finish eating."

Li Xiuchang transmitted the consciousness of "Turtle Simulation" to the Golden Halberd Rhinoceros Beetle and let it learn by itself.

At the same time, he was also considering what name to give the Golden Halberd Rhinoceros Beetle?
