Chapter 30 Level 8 Monster - Fox Hill Taoist! [New Book, Please Vote!]
Mengde attempted to use his unique blood spirit energy to construct this talisman, but ultimately he gave up.
Because he now needs a 'response target,' namely, a spirit-level flying mosquito.
Because he possessed the basic source blood flying mosquito of the spirit insect, he was able to continue to perfect the blood path secret rune in his mind, making it a secret rune specifically designed to capture high-level source blood flying mosquitoes lost in the wild by others!
Because Mengde had discovered a characteristic of all the Source Blood Flying Mosquitoes: they were extremely sensitive to the scent of Mengde's blood and energy, and they preferred to operate within a ten-mile radius of Mengde. In other words, the Source Blood Flying Mosquitoes had specialized in sensing Mengde's blood and energy, able to detect his presence from ten miles away, and thus instinctively converge towards him little by little.
Similarly, if Mengde leaves Blackwater Village for an extended period of time, or if the Source Blood Mosquitoes exceed their maximum perception range of ten miles, then the Source Blood Mosquitoes will enter a free-for-food phase. During this phase, many Source Blood Mosquitoes will cross the 'maximum perception circle,' and even if Mengde eventually returns, those Source Blood Mosquitoes that have run away will not return.
Mengde knew that such things were unavoidable, so he usually kept the special source blood mosquitoes in a closed space to prevent these top-grade mosquitoes from escaping and causing disturbances.
The inspiration for the 'secret symbol' that Meng De suddenly realized came from the special sensitivity of the source blood mosquito to his blood and qi.
He only needs to use talismans to activate the blood spirit power fused with his own blood energy, so that the spirit insects and flying mosquitoes at a greater distance can sense it and ultimately implement the source blood gene bank plan.
......
While Mengde was trying to cultivate a spirit insect-level flying mosquito, a beautiful figure dressed in white with red patterns, white hair and red eyes, wearing a bamboo hat and veil appeared on the horizon of a towering peak called [Spirit Beast Mountain] deep in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains.
"Junior Qingli pays respects to Ancestor!" Qingli removed the bamboo hat and veil from his head, revealing two adorable fox ears. He then stood on the back of the five-level Nine Netherworld Peak, which had been transformed by spiritual energy, and bowed in the direction of Spirit Beast Mountain.
Surrounded by auspicious clouds and rising mist, the verdant and forested Spirit Beast Mountain was utterly silent. Until, after an unknown period of time, a slight ripple stirred in the space towards Spirit Beast Mountain, and then a voice, seemingly refined and gentle, yet always carrying an invisible allure, softly echoed through the heavens and earth:
"Come in."
As soon as the voice faded, Qingli realized that the world around her was changing rapidly, shattering like a mirror. When she regained her senses, she found herself on a cliff above the clouds.
On the opposite side of the cliff, beneath a magnificent old pine tree, a middle-aged man wearing a white fox mask, with broad arms and a slender figure, sat cross-legged. The moment Qing Li looked over, he opened a pair of amber-like, pure, and deep eyes that could reflect the human heart.
"Qing Li pays respects to the Fox Ancestor!" The moment Qing Li saw the other party's deep eyes, he realized that the other party's eyes were like a vortex of divine consciousness. With just a glance, his divine consciousness and soul seemed to be devoured! Startled, Qing Li quickly lowered his head to avoid the other party's gaze, knelt down on both knees, and performed the kneeling ceremony!
The man wearing a white fox mask and a white Taoist robe did not speak, but only glanced at Qing Li before closing his eyes and entering a meditative state.
Qingli remained kneeling on the ground with her head bowed low, and the scene fell into a deathly silence.
After an unknown amount of time, just as Qing Li began to feel numbness in her knees, the fox-faced man, who had been meditating cross-legged, seemed to finally remember that there was someone present, and spoke calmly: "Young man, what brings you to disturb my meditation?"
Qingli bowed his head low and replied respectfully, "Reporting to the Fox Ancestor, Qingli has found a strange insect and has come to offer it as a sacrifice to the Fox Ancestor in order to glimpse the true source."
There are two ancestors in total on Spirit Beast Mountain, one of whom is the Fox Ancestor in front of us.
Fox Ancestor, whose true form is a Heavenly Demon Fox, was originally named Qiu Ji and had the Taoist name Fox Hill Taoist. She was an eighth-level demon beast who could transform into human form. She was skilled in illusion magic and possessed a special physique. She was naturally alluring and was once known as "the man that the Hehuan Sect could never have" when she was born.
Yes, Qiu Ji is a man, but he rarely uses that name anymore. After attaining enlightenment, he calls himself Fox Hill Taoist.
"What kind of strange insect could make you risk disturbing me?" Upon hearing this, Fox Hill Daoist couldn't help but show some interest, his gaze calmly turning to Qing Li.
Normally, a minor cultivator of Qing Li's level wouldn't be qualified to directly meet the patriarch of Spirit Beast Mountain. However, Qing Li is a special case because she is an outstanding descendant of the bloodline family left behind by Taoist Fox Hill a thousand years ago.
If Qing Li wanted to meet another Nascent Soul ancestor from Spirit Beast Mountain, she certainly wouldn't be qualified.
"This is it." Qingli decisively took out all the two types of flying mosquitoes provided by Mengde: the Blood Mosquito and the Source Blood Mosquito, as well as the Nine Nether Poisonous Mosquito she had cultivated herself.
Qingli originally only had Blood Mosquitoes, not Source Blood Mosquitoes. After leaving Golden Cloud Peak, she suddenly remembered something and turned back to Blackwater Manor, wanting to get a batch of 'intermediate form' Source Blood Mosquitoes from Mengde.
However, when Qingli went to Blackwater Manor, she happened to run into Mengde, who was out looking for a living. Qingli couldn't find Mengde at Blackwater Manor, but seeing Mengde's Source Blood Mosquitoes flying around everywhere, she intercepted a batch of them on the outskirts and brought them back to True Spirit Beast Mountain along with two other types of mosquitoes. After returning, she would compensate Mengde with some cultivation resources.
This was exactly what Meng De had anticipated: the Source Blood Mosquitoes inherently possessed anti-monopoly properties. Just as Qing Li and the others could collect mosquitoes in the dense forests near Blackwater Manor, Meng De could also collect even better mosquitoes from various parts of Spirit Beast Mountain.
"Reporting to Fox Ancestor, these are the three forms of the strange insect, but they are not evolved forms, but only three of the many forms of this strange insect." Qing Li sensed that the three mosquitoes in her hand had disappeared, and began to tell Fox Hill Daoist about her research on the Source Blood Flying Mosquito.
"...This junior's strength is limited, and I cannot deduce the full potential of such strange insects with the bloodline of ancient demonic insects. This is all I know..." Qing Li stated his conjecture about being a 'descendant of ancient demonic insects', and it was even recognized by Taoist Fox Hill.
According to Fox Hill Taoist, if these three tiny insects in his hand truly possess the ability to adapt to the environment and evolve wildly, as Qing Li described, then they must be descendants of ancient demonic insects.
"If it truly has such miraculous effects, both you and that lucky human will receive their due reward." Fox Hill Daoist learned all the information about the Source Blood Mosquito from Qing Li, including the 'lucky discoverer' Meng De. Fox Hill Daoist didn't doubt Meng De; he simply thought the human was lucky. The Source Blood Mosquito was a descendant of ancient demonic insects; Meng De had merely stumbled upon it by chance.
