Mortal Seeking Immortal

Liu Yuan took out a handful of various spiritual plants from the storage bag and put them into the compartment, and then watched the movements of the Tianfu Ice Silkworm in the compartment.

A few breaths passed in the blink of an eye, and the Tianfu Ice Silkworm curled up in the compartment seemed to be unmoved by the spiritual plants Liu Yuan put into the compartment, and still waited weakly for food.

Seeing that the breath of the Tianfu Ice Silkworm was getting weaker and weaker, the Sixth Elder standing aside gradually lost his patience, and his eyes looking at Liu Yuan became extremely cold.

Feeling the strong killing intent in the Sixth Elder's eyes, Liu Yuan was completely panicked. He knelt in front of the Sixth Elder in fear, still stubbornly saying: "Master... Master, please listen to my explanation. I did take care of these spirit insect eggs before."

"Maybe a new disciple was jealous of my being valued by you, so he deliberately framed me and secretly fed these spirit insect eggs with other things, which caused them to refuse to eat the spirit plants I fed them."

At this point, Liu Yuan also played the emotional card, with a face full of grief and said: "Master, I have followed you for so many years, don't you know what kind of person I am?"

Liu Yuan has made up his mind in his heart. As long as he refuses to admit that he has taken credit for something, it will not be considered as deceiving his master. The Sixth Elder may believe that he was framed because of the past master-disciple relationship.

As soon as Liu Yuan finished speaking, he saw a cold light in the Sixth Elder's eyes. The Sixth Elder waved his sleeves, and a dark red light flew out from the Sixth Elder's sleeves and flew towards Liu Yuan's Dantian.

Liu Yuan was immediately horrified, and hurriedly used the escape technique to run out, but the dark red light was five or six times faster than his speed, and shot into Liu Yuan's Dantian in the blink of an eye.

In just a breath, Liu Yuan's life was cut off, and his flesh and blood seemed to be drained of water, turning into pieces of flying ash and dissipating in the air. Only a pile of clothes of the registered disciples and a storage bag were left on the spot.

Everyone present showed a look of horror on their faces, and they couldn't believe that Liu Yuan, who had always been highly valued by the Sixth Elder, died like this. Some new disciples were even more afraid of the Sixth Elder, and they hid their bodies behind the crowd without leaving a trace to avoid the Sixth Elder's eyes.

After a while, a palm-sized oval dark red strange beetle came out from the pile of clothes of the registered disciples, shaking its head.

This dark red strange beetle exudes an aura of the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. It has two small and sharp red magic horns on its small head, and its translucent belly is round and full of dark red liquid.

The moment Ye Zhou saw this beetle, he immediately recognized the true identity of this strange beetle.

The red devil beetle, the holy insect of the demon clan, is extremely fast and has sharp claws and teeth. It can easily break the protective shield around the cultivator. It lives by sucking the blood and vitality of the cultivator. It likes to live in groups. Because it lives in a place with rich demonic energy, it is extremely rare in the world of immortal cultivation.

When the red devil beetle is just hatched, its body is only the size of a mung bean. As more cultivators are sucked by it, the size of the red devil beetle will gradually grow.

Judging from its size, the red devil beetle raised by the Sixth Elder has probably sucked hundreds of foundation-building cultivators.

Ye Zhou looked at the Sixth Elder with a solemn look in his eyes, and sighed in his heart that the Sixth Elder was worthy of being the elder of the Spirit Beast Sect. He casually took out a rare spiritual insect in the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Realm that was extremely rare in the outside world.

However, no matter what kind of spiritual insect the Sixth Elder took out, Ye Zhou was not afraid. Even if it was a demon clan holy insect like the Red Devil Beetle, once it encountered the ancient spiritual insect in his hand, it would have to admit defeat.

After the Red Devil Beetle dealt with Liu Yuan, the wings that were tucked under the back shell shook, and it flew back to the Sixth Elder's sleeve with a whoosh.

The Sixth Elder glanced at the disciples present and said coldly: "This is the end of deceiving the master! If anyone dares to do it again in the future, don't blame the master for not thinking about the relationship between master and disciple."

Everyone in the room did not dare to look directly at the Sixth Elder's eyes, and they all lowered their heads to avoid it. The room was silent for a while, and only the rustling sound of the spiritual insects gnawing on the spiritual plants in the compartment could be heard.

Then the Sixth Elder asked again: "I ask again, who is responsible for taking care of the spirit insects in this room?"

As soon as the Sixth Elder finished speaking, Ye Zhou, who was standing in the crowd, stepped forward and bowed to the Sixth Elder before answering in a dignified manner: "Master, I am responsible for taking care of the spirit insects in this room."

When the Sixth Elder saw Ye Zhou, he immediately remembered that it was Liao Xueyun, the Liao family's prodigy who was eliminated by Ye Zhou in the Mountain and River Map, and said: "It's you, you feed the Tianfu ice silkworm first."

The Sixth Elder never mentioned the reward, but asked Ye Zhou to feed the Tianfu ice silkworm first. Ye Zhou knew that the Sixth Elder was testing whether he was really the disciple responsible for taking care of the spirit insects here.

Fortunately, Ye Zhou had the remaining essence of the spiritual plants from feeding the spiritual insect eggs. He bowed and accepted the order, walked to the compartment where the Tianfu ice silkworm was raised, took out a jade bottle from the storage ring, and poured the essence of the spiritual plants in the jade bottle in front of the curled up Tianfu ice silkworm.

The Tianfu ice silkworm seemed to smell something delicious, and a gleam of light flashed from its originally listless eyes. It quickly stretched its head and sucked the essence of the spiritual plants in front of it.

When the Tianfu ice silkworm absorbed all the essence of the spiritual plants that Ye Zhou had dropped in the compartment, it swept away the weakness when it just broke out of the shell. The whole insect became energetic and excitedly squirmed to the edge of the compartment, stretching its body to get close to Ye Zhou and be intimate with him.

Spiritual insects only get close to their owners and the people who raise them. Seeing this scene, how could the Sixth Elder not believe that it was the spiritual insect raised by Ye Zhou? His doubts were gone, and his face was much more relaxed.

The Sixth Elder waved his sleeves and took the storage bag that originally belonged to Liu Yuan to Ye Zhou through the air, praising him: "If I remember correctly, your name is Ye Zhou."

"You did a good job, and I will give you this storage bag as a reward. I wonder how you came up with the idea of ​​extracting the essence of spiritual plants to feed spiritual insect eggs? I have been raising spiritual insects for many years and rarely see this method."

Ye Zhou accepted the storage bag, thanked the Sixth Elder, and then said truthfully: "I dare not deceive Master. When I first took over these Tianfu ice silkworm eggs, I did not find any abnormalities in the eggs. It was only after two days of feeding that I discovered that the aura in these eggs was somewhat unstable. "

"If these Tianfu ice silkworm eggs were allowed to hatch normally, I am afraid that more than half of them would not be able to hatch normally."

"At this time, I remembered that when I was raising spirit insects before, I had prepared some spirit plant essences to feed spirit insect eggs by chance, and the effect was very good, so I copied it here."

"I didn't expect it to have a miraculous effect on these Tianfu ice silkworm eggs. After absorbing the spirit plant essences prepared by my disciple, the aura in these Tianfu ice silkworm eggs gradually stabilized."
