Chapter 318 Mutated Earthworms (Subscribe, Collect)
The lotus root node is pure white without any white marks. The spiritual power and essence contained in it are even better than what Sun Mingsheng had seen in the market.
The white jade lotus root is not too rare. As long as there is a spiritual lake and seeds, it can be cultivated. There are no too harsh requirements for the growth environment. The only drawback is that it takes a long time to grow.
This kind of spiritual medicine can only grow and mature naturally, and cannot be ripened by any other means. It takes 600 years for a seed to grow into a second-level low-grade white jade lotus root.
Therefore, the white jade lotus root itself is not too precious. As long as some families or sects with a little scale will cultivate it, the most precious is the high-grade white jade lotus root.
Each white jade lotus root can only grow one lotus root node, which contains extremely rich spiritual power and essence. It can be used as the main medicine to refine into a spiritual pill, or it can be swallowed raw to supplement the lack of mana in the dantian. A second-level middle-grade white jade lotus root can replenish the mana consumed by a person in the middle stage of foundation building at one time.
Especially when encountering some extremely brutal battles, a piece of white jade lotus root that can restore the magic power in the dantian almost means ensuring one's own life safety.
"Well, there are some earthworms that have evolved into monsters and are breeding at the bottom of the white jade lotus root?" Suddenly, three or five earthworms that are only as thick as fingers and look ordinary are not too obviously different from ordinary earthworms, except for the golden lines that circle around the back.
The earthworms themselves contain a certain amount of spiritual power. Every time they twist their bodies, they can drive the beating of a trace of earth attribute spiritual power deep in the place where the white jade lotus grows.
These earthworms themselves do not have much combat power. The fiery red spiritual power sprayed from Sun Mingsheng's fingers immediately ignited them, and they completely lost their breath of life in a short time.
This little accident did not bring him too much impact. Sun Mingsheng's focus was always on the search for spiritual medicine here.
But he didn't realize that after he left, with a "rustling" sound, earthworms of different lengths and thicknesses emerged from the empty pit that had been filled up. They decisively devoured the corpses of the earthworms that had been burned to ashes along with the soil.
"Sha" crawled out a large earthworm about a foot long, three fingers thick, with fifteen golden coils wrapped around its body.
Compared with other earthworms that can only act on instinct, this one obviously has a certain amount of intelligence.
With its obviously superior body and strength, it only lightly swept aside some earthworms that were entangled around it and refused to let go easily. It was majestic, just like a leader looking for territory.
The earthworms led by "Shasha" kept moving forward, and at the same time, they also made bursts of different sounds as signals, as if they were conveying commands to the earthworms around them, and as if they were issuing a primitive call to other earthworms with a larger number.
This kind of sound transmission, which is unique to earthworms, soon received responses in different directions, and more and more earthworms gathered quickly.
Perhaps because these monsters have lived here for many years, there is no breath or spiritual power fluctuations when they move.
Sun Mingsheng did not notice the changes behind him at all. At this time, he was working hard in front of the second-level medium-grade spiritual medicine, golden sunflower.
Golden sunflower is also a rare spiritual medicine. It needs rich spiritual power and pure sunlight as assistance for growth. All its essence is on the huge sunflower disk.
Each golden sunflower can only produce one sunflower disk in its lifetime. When all the sunflower seeds in it are mature and picked, this golden sunflower will wither.
The most bizarre thing is that after a hundred years, there will also be a golden sunflower on the original place, relying on the nutrients left after withering to grow again, embarking on a new reincarnation, which is really magical.
A golden sunflower can produce more than a hundred sunflower seeds, but less than one-tenth of them can help cultivators improve their cultivation, and they also need to be identified one by one.
Within a hundred feet around Sun Mingsheng, under the cover of a large number of flowers, mutant earthworms with golden collars as embellishments almost completely surrounded him.
But this encirclement is still silent, perhaps this is the fundamental reason why tens of thousands of spiritual flowers grow here safely, and the black-striped ants cannot find any clues after several investigations.
These earthworms are usually scattered under each spiritual flower, and the number is not large, and their own aura is also extremely weak.
The power of a single mutant earthworm is also extremely weak and not worth mentioning. Even if there is something found under the spiritual flower, no cultivator will take it too seriously.
Just like Sun Mingsheng's current performance, all his mind is placed on the search for spiritual flowers and spiritual medicines.
Time passed quietly as the mutant earthworms gathered and surrounded them, and Sun Mingsheng was busy digging for spiritual medicine.
When the fourth second-level spiritual medicine was in his pocket, Sun Mingsheng finally discovered something. The slightly strong smell of soil brought by his breath made his brows frown.
After all, this is a place where tens of thousands of flowers compete for beauty, and the ears and noses are filled with rich floral fragrance.
In such a rich floral fragrance, this only a trace of floral fragrance that seems to be there and not there is enough to attract the attention of a vigilant monk.
"This is not the real smell of soil, but there is also a fishy smell mixed in it?" Sun Mingsheng's consciousness quickly explored the surroundings.
Picking spiritual medicine from these tens of thousands of flowers is of course extremely important, and as each spiritual medicine is collected smoothly and continuously, it is undeniable that it is already a state of enjoyment, but as a qualified monk, the vigilance in his heart has not completely disappeared, after all, he does not want to put himself in danger for no reason and without any signs.
"Is this an earthworm? How did so many earthworms appear?" With the signs, it is no longer a difficulty to search on this basis.
A single earthworm may not easily attract Sun Mingsheng's attention, but when the number reaches an alarming state, it is impossible to continue to play ostrich.
After having a very real understanding of the situation around him, Sun Mingsheng no longer cares about picking spiritual medicine from the sea of flowers.
"Break through, must break through as soon as possible, no wonder it is so quiet here, it turns out that I broke into the earthworm's nest" This is the first lingering thought that occupies his mind.
No matter what kind of monster, when the number reaches a certain state and critical point, its own strength will usher in a qualitative leap, just like various ant monsters, and he has a deeper understanding of this.
