Immortality: Raising an Ant Queen to Cultivate by increasing stat points - Chapter 132 - 127 This is the Air Legion i

Chapter 132: Chapter 127 This is the Air Legion i

Translator: 549690339

Ordinary Worker Ants and Soldier Ants are cultivated in batches.

It has to be done this way.

That’s because in the future, more than a hundred termites will need to be bred every day, and once the Ant Queen’s Breeding Skill moves up another level, it could very well produce over a thousand eggs per day.

If each one were to be cultivated individually, then he wouldn’t have to do anything else but raise termites.

The biggest issue with batch cultivation is that a small number of termites may explode and die.

There were a total of 67 ordinary Worker Ants and 25 ordinary Soldier Ants, all of which completed their cultivation, but five exploded and died.

This loss was still within Qin Niu’s acceptable range.

And as his cultivation techniques become more mature, he believes the death rate can be further reduced.

This time, he focused on cultivating those few special termites.

Especially the Snout Soldier Ants and Breeder Ants.

The results were quite good; the success rate for the carefully cultivated ones reached 100%.

Even the two Poison Worker Ants miraculously survived.

This made Qin Niu even more confident in his cultivation techniques.

Next, all he had to do was wait patiently. Under normal circumstances, it would take about two or three days for the evolution to complete.

The three termites that had been fed Broad-Leaf Paris Polyphylla leaves were called out separately by him, continuing to feed them the leaves of the Broad- Leaf Paris Polyphylla.

He hoped that after eating this special herb, they would undergo some changes.

So far, no obvious drawbacks have been found, nor any benefits.

Having finished with the termites, he moved on to the beehive.

Six days had passed, and with his efforts, the bee colony had managed to produce five Giant Wing Worker Bees and 46 Grade Two Green Ring Worker Bees.

Without boasting about their combat power, at the very least, if a group of large hornets came along, they could easily be taken care of without leaving any remains.

Just the successive air raids from seven or eight Grade Two Green Ring Worker Bees were already terrifying.

After one round, a large hornet could be directly incapacitated.

With 46 Grade Two Green Ring Worker Bees, it was like a small army; their air raids had already begun to produce a basic clustering effect. Much like Army Ants on the march, not to say that they would leave nothing alive in their path, but at the very least, they could slaughter all creatures along the way.

If Army Ants can only fight on the ground, then these Grade Two Worker Bees are like sky-bound Army Ants.

When their numbers grow to tens of thousands, their power will be extremely formidable.

Bees are not inherently a warrior species; they are diligent ‘farmers.’ But they have an advantage that other bee species do not possess, which is unity and high discipline.

Once they successfully establish themselves, they become an army with strict discipline and high unity.

When they are weak, this ability may only barely allow them to protect themselves.

For example, a hundred bees could wrap an invading large hornet inside, then vibrate their wings to raise their body temperature and cook the large hornet.

Now, through his cultivation, Qin Niu has significantly enhanced their flight and biting abilities, as well as their venom. Once they form into a massive army, they will become an invincible force.

The only issue he needs to help them resolve now is the problem with their poison stingers having barbs.

That’s because every single Grade Two Worker Bee is precious.

If they launch a sting attack on the enemy, they will also die quickly.

He needs to help them modify their stinger attacks to be reusable rather than suicidal.

Qin Niu hasn’t yet come up with any good solutions for how to modify them.

It’s not like he could simply remove the barbs from their stingers, right?

Having barbs on the sting is an advantage in itself.

Once they penetrate the enemy’s body, the barbs on the sting make it impossible for the enemy to break free.

This is an advantage that large hornets don’t have.

He’ll have to slowly find a solution for the improvement; maybe he could consult with the Insect Master Association’s Chairman Li and others later.

After the cultivation of the ten newly emerged Worker Bees was completed, Qin Niu specifically inspected the Queen Bee.

It was still evolving.

However, the cracks on its body had all disappeared, and its body was no longer trembling violently, only its antennae were still vibrating. This indicated that its evolution was almost complete.

He entered the Ancient Banyan Tree to cultivate and collect blood, needless to say.

Concerned about not being able to enter the mountains on rainy days, he needed to store more Ancient Banyan Tree Blood.

The Treasured Sword, after being nurtured for such a long time, seemed to show signs of transformation.

That’s because its demand for Banyan Tree Blood had obviously increased.

In recent three to four days, its need for Banyan Tree Blood had been growing rapidly.

Before, half a stone trough of Banyan Tree Blood could nourish the sword for three or four days, or even longer. Now, half a stone trough of Banyan Tree Blood, with the Treasured Sword immersed in it, would be found turned into clear water the next morning when he retrieved the sword.

Therefore, he consciously increased the amount of Banyan Tree Blood.

He also discovered that the green lines within the sword’s body had become clearer and more active.

They moved.

This had never happened before.

Although uncertain whether these changes in the Treasured Sword were good or bad, Qin Niu still tried to meet its needs. He provided it with a sufficient amount of Banyan Tree Blood for nourishment every day.

Sitting beneath the tree, he began to seriously cultivate the Medicine King Technique.

His current routine for cultivation was to practice the Medicine King Technique for the first three hours, and after exhausting his spiritual power, switch to practicing the Everlasting Spring Technique to recover spiritual power.

Therefore, his progress in both techniques did not fall behind.

The Everlasting Spring Technique had now advanced to the Sevenfold Level of Mortals, which should be second only to Wang Yue in Shuangfeng Village.

With such high cultivation, he could even be considered influential throughout the whole of Jade Stream Town.

However, to claim that he could walk sidewise throughout Jade Stream Town, unbeaten by anyone, would be an exaggeration.

In such a vast area with tens of thousands of people, there must be many experts.

Just like the Yan Family, there are more than a dozen large families similar to it.

Both direct and collateral descendants of the Yan Family have several members serving in the Black Armored Army, with even more likely being Black Armored Army reservists like Wang Yue.

With the Yan Family’s connections, as soon as a family member reaches the Eightfold Level of Mortals, they might be able to obtain a reserve qualification in the Black Armored Army.

This is just Yan Family’s profound heritage, which is terrifying in itself. It’s imaginable how many masters there must be in the entire Jade Stream Town.

Under the Ancient Banyan Tree, as Qin Niu persisted in his hard cultivation, he absorbed and successfully transformed more and more medicine qi.

His cultivation of the Medicine King Sutra had already reached the peak of the Threefold Mortal Realm.

Currently, as long as he can cultivate under the banyan tree, the Medicine King Sutra is steadily increasing by onefold every three days on average.

Boom!

The surging power of the Medicine King Technique burst forth wildly from the filled kidneys, strengthening the next organ, his heart.

The strength of a person’s burst power is greatly influenced by the heart.

When cultivating the Everlasting Spring Technique, the heart had already been strengthened once.

Now, cultivating the Medicine King Sutra meant it was being strengthened once

more.

The advantage is that a heart that has been strengthened twice is stronger than one that has been strengthened just once.

Each contraction is as powerful as that of a fierce beast’s heart.

Under normal circumstances, if conditions allow, very few would cultivate two different types of cultivation techniques.

Just think about it, having cultivated a technique to the Tenfold Mortal Realm, then switching to a new technique would mean starting all over again.

Who would be so foolish?

Qin Niu had originally started cultivating the /Medicine King Sutra with a try- and-see attitude.

Later, he discovered that cultivating under the ancient banyan could draw in an endless supply of medicine qi, and he became unstoppable.

The benefits obtained from cultivating the Medicine King Sutra are double.

Strengthening the body is just a bonus.

Its real purpose is to easily identify the strengths and attributes of herbs.

There might be other special abilities, but just this ability alone has already brought him great benefits.

When the Medicine King Sutra reached Onefold Mortal Realm, he was able to sense the presence of medicine qi.

At Twofold Mortal Realm, he could sense the energy within the herbs.

It was just a bit vague though.

At Threefold Mortal Realm, this ability was enhanced. He could now sense the energy strength and general attributes within a herb, just like Xiao Qing.

He had even surpassed Xiao Qing now.

After all, Xiao Qing was still stuck at the peak of the Twofold Mortal Realm.

Qin Niu, however, was now at the peak of the Threefold Mortal Realm, and he was even about to break through to the Fourdfold Mortal Realm.

As the cultivated power from the transformed medicine qi rushed into his heart, his realm achieved a complete breakthrough.

At this moment, he could sense more clearly the energy contained within the Ancient Banyan Tree.

Its energy was cold and cool in nature.

What Qin Niu sensed was entirely a vast ocean composed of cold energy.

Unfathomable and boundless.

ii

This is too terrifying!

it

The stronger his abilities, the more he feared the Ancient Banyan Tree.

In its presence, he truly felt as insignificant as a speck of dust.

Qin Niu couldn’t help but recall the first time he had been trapped by it, when he had the foolish thought of chopping it down.

He truly was ignorant of the immensity of the heaven and earth.

ii

This Ancient Banyan Tree is probably already at the level of a demon, and it might even be stronger.”

Great concealment is in the imperial court, medium concealment is in the markets, and small concealment is in the forests.

Who could have imagined such a powerful demonic tree has been living quietly so close to a human village?

Qin Niu’s desire to become stronger surged, and he began to cultivate even more desperately.

He worked hard to solidify his newly broken-through realm.

As he continued to cultivate the Medicine King Sutra, his expertise in the technique seemed to have advanced.

Because the efficiency of absorbing medicine qi instantly increased nearly twofold.

Previously, for every ten parts of medicine qi guided into his body, only two parts could be absorbed. But now, there had been a breakthrough, and he could absorb nearly four parts.

This also doubled the speed of his cultivation based on the original foundation.

Previously, it took three days to advance a minor realm, but with the current terrifying pace, it’s estimated that it would take only about four and a half hours to make the same advancement.

He persevered in his cultivation until his head ached and then stopped.

ii

If Xiao Qing’s grandfather knew my current cultivation speed, he who was stuck his whole life unable to break through to Fivefold Mortal Realm and I now need only four and a half hours to break through, he might be so angry that he’d climb out from his grave!”

Qin Niu finally understood why cultivators put ‘wealth’ as the first of the four essential elements of cultivation—wealth, companionship, technique, and location.

If Xiao Qing’s grandfather had the chance to absorb medicine qi endlessly and wildly like him for cultivation, he would likely have become an unrivaled expert long ago.

He began to close his eyes and cultivate the Everlasting Spring Technique.

Plundering a great amount of medicine qi from the Ancient Banyan Tree was also a form of compensation to it.

At least that’s what Qin Niu thought.

As dusk approached, he opened his eyes.

The Everlasting Spring Technique had already reached the peak of the Sevenfold Mortal Realm. With an extra push tomorrow, he should be able to break through to the Eightfold Mortal Realm.

This feeling of rapidly increasing cultivation was truly satisfying.

He carried the collected Ancient Banyan Tree Blood, accompanied by Fourth, and broke out of the labyrinth.

They were still some distance from the beehive when they heard a continuous buzzing sound. The bee colony was in uproar as if the pot had been stirred.

A swarm of bees flew out of the beehive, circling around it.

Could it be that the Queen Bee has completed evolving?
