PDLP Chapter 14: Source Blood Gene Bank!
Chapter 14: Source Blood Gene Bank!
Whether it's beast cultivators or insect cultivators, the corpses of their enemies are excellent sources of nourishment.
Therefore, Spirit Beast Mountain only opposes duels, but not "death matches".
Mengde had visited the Black Bee Palace several times before and saw a large number of kill missions there.
Most of these tasks were issued by the Spirit Beast Mountain sect itself, and the tasks included killing evil cultivators, killing demonic cultivators, killing rebellious monsters, and so on.
Meng De was fortunate to have Senior Sister Qing Li as his long-term meal ticket; otherwise, he might have had to take on some external tasks in order to obtain cultivation resources.
"The time agreed upon with Senior Sister Yunxi is approaching." After finishing his business at Blackwater Manor, Meng De glanced at the sky, calculated the time, and then summoned the round-headed Azure Bee Boat from his storage bag, flying towards the Black Bee Palace.
"The blood mosquitoes will inevitably become stronger and stronger. Perhaps we will have to cultivate a special insect food variety." Meng De stood on the Green Bee Boat, glanced back at Blackwater Manor which was gradually disappearing from sight, and thought to himself.
"The mosquito swarms are growing larger and larger. We should also inquire about the mechanical puppets that can handle the chores." Meng De didn't want the other Spirit Beast Mountain servants to help Blackwater Manor for the time being, because if they stayed there too long...would they leak secrets? Yes, they might, but Meng De felt more that those servants simply wouldn't survive...
Any kind of blood-eating mosquito will indiscriminately attack any creature in its vicinity that it can eat.
The five basic genetic talents possessed by the Source Blood Mosquito are [Sharp Proboscis], [Tough Body], [Super Reproduction], [Super Growth], and [Super Absorption]. Among them, the [Sharp Proboscis] can easily pierce tree bark and the scales of ordinary beasts. The reason why this genetic talent was evolved first is because the Source Blood Mosquito is... extremely hungry!
Previously, the Blood Mosquitoes were food for other venomous insects and ferocious beasts in the dense forests surrounding Blackwater Village, but now, Mengde hasn't seen anything that can run on the ground near Blackwater Village for a long time...
Having lost their source of meat, the blood-borne mosquitoes should, in theory, fly to farther places in search of food.
But this is the very strange phenomenon that has become in Blackwater Village. The Source Blood Mosquitoes seem to be extremely sensitive to Mengde's blood aura, and the vast majority of them are unwilling to stray more than ten miles away from him. This has led to the majority of Source Blood Mosquitoes hovering in the dense forest within ten miles of Blackwater Village. Having run out of meat, they have had to evolve the ability to absorb tree sap in order to survive.
Mengde had no doubt that if the Blood Mosquitoes continued to starve, they might evolve the talent of growing by chewing on rocks in the future.
After all... this new subspecies, the Crimson Flame Mosquito, has already evolved the ability to 'eat heat radiation'. This batch of Crimson Flame Mosquitoes can even be called 'solar-powered mosquitoes'!
......
"You've arrived." On the flying boat platform outside the Black Bee Palace, Yunxi, dressed in a magnificent cloud robe, glanced indifferently at Mengde on the Green Bee Boat not far away.
"Um... I'm sorry, Senior Sister, I'm late..." When Meng De saw Yunxi, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time, he was slightly taken aback and quickly cupped his hands to express his apology.
In the face of the Blood Mosquito, he was the most severe and cruel godfather.
However, in front of Yunxi, who was at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, he was just a weak, helpless, and pitiful junior brother at the fifth level of Qi Refining.
"No, you arrived just in time. I was too early," Yunxi said calmly, shaking her head slightly.
However, Yunxi's explanation only made things worse, as it caused Mengde to break out in a cold sweat...
After all, the "leaders" arrived early, and you, a nobody, actually arrived just in time?
"Um..." Before Mengde could explain further, Yunxi summoned a small, shimmering white boat and called Mengde to board it.
"What are you standing there for? Come on, let's go see Senior Sister."
"I don't mind if you arrive on time, but we can't arrive in front of Senior Sister," Yunxi said coldly.
"..." After jumping onto the small, white boat, Meng De stared blankly at Yunxi's back for a moment, swallowed hard, suppressed the words of explanation that welled up in his throat, and bowed deeply to Yunxi with his hands clasped: "Junior brother, I have learned a lot."
Although Meng De is nominally a disciple of the Core Formation Realm cultivator, Fairy Qingling, he has been on the peak for half a year and has never once seen his nominal master...
On the contrary, Senior Sister Yunxi, who had guided her to the peak, imparted her work experience, and offered guidance, seemed more like her mentor...
"Good that you understand." Yunxi piloted the flying boat, shuttling through the sea of clouds at Qingling Peak.
Although Qingling Peak is called a peak, it is actually a group of peaks.
The Spirit Beast Mountain can be viewed as a range of mountains, with the most majestic and imposing one being called the Spirit Beast Mountain. Among the mountains surrounding the Spirit Beast Mountain, there are twelve areas named after peaks.
Now, Yunxi is leading Mengde to an isolated mountain peak within the Qingling Peaks.
"The place where the eldest sister lives is called 'Golden Cloud Peak,' and the entire mountain is her residence." As Yunxi piloted her shimmering white boat through the sea of clouds, she saw a tall mountain covered with golden maple leaves below.
Yunxi did not take Mengde directly to Jinxia Peak, as that would be suicidal.
Even if there were no magic arrays or restrictions in the air above Golden Cloud Peak, Yunxi and the others, as Qi Refining Realm cultivators, should still have the humility that Qi Refining Realm cultivators should possess.
"Yunxi, the twenty-first disciple of Master Qingling, accompanied by her nominal disciple Mengde, has come to pay homage to our eldest sister!"
At the foot of Jinxia Peak, Yunxi led Mengde to a white jade platform in front of a long staircase leading to the sky, and bowed towards the mountain gate.
As Yunxi's voice faded, a slight ripple stirred within the space inside the mountain gate in front, which bore the inscription "Golden Cloud Peak." A faint undercurrent of spiritual energy flowed through the air, and then a black and white spirit bear emerged from behind a boulder behind the mountain gate, sniffing Yunxi's scent.
Yunxi then asked Mengde to take out the Azure Spirit Token. After the burly black and white spirit bear used its spiritual sense to check the Azure Spirit Tokens of the two, it nodded slightly, indicating that the two should go up the mountain.
"This is Senior Sister's guardian spirit bear, a level two spirit beast comparable to the Foundation Establishment Realm." After thanking the black and white spirit bear, Yunxi led Mengde up the mountain on foot, explaining to him along the way what the seemingly adorable, round-bodied black and white spirit bear with its strange 'black circles' was.
Meng De's expression was somewhat strange, because no matter how he looked at that black and white spirit bear, he felt that it was... a panda!
They're practically identical!
I never imagined that the world of cultivation would have pandas?
Of course, Meng De understood that this might be an evolutionary accident; the emergence of panda-shaped spirit bears in the cultivation world was not a rare occurrence.
"Our eldest sister is usually very easy to talk to. When Master is busy, she takes care of many things; she's practically our second master."
On the way up the mountain, Yunxi revealed some news that slightly surprised Mengde:
"Actually, you were taken in by the eldest sister."
