Chapter 453 Fire Lotus Lantern
Young Master Lingxu was not prepared at all and was almost forced to take a step back. Fortunately, he had a high level of cultivation and quickly stopped his body. However, he could not hide the shock on his face.
Foundation Establishment Stage, another Foundation Establishment Stage, and a spiritual insect in the Foundation Establishment Stage. How is this possible? How much effort did he put in to hide it from those Jindan cultivators at the entrance of Chaos Demon Valley? What means can this kid use to hide it from others? He is just an ordinary disciple of the Immortal Sect. How can he subdue a spiritual insect in the Foundation Establishment Stage? How can he afford to raise it?
At this time, Young Master Lingxu found that he really underestimated Qingyang in front of him. No wonder this kid rejected his invitation again and again. The identity of a disciple of the Seven Great Immortal Sects, a spiritual insect at the Foundation Establishment stage, a third-level monster, the ability to challenge across levels, and the means to hide from the Jindan cultivators, no matter which point is taken out, it is far beyond the average Qi Refining cultivator.
This time, Master Lingxu really wanted to recruit him. He was willing to pay the highest price. If Qingyang agreed, he could even exchange the lives of so many of his men.
However, he also knew that people like Qingyang had their own pride. How could he be willing to be inferior to others? Even if he were in his place, he would not be willing to be driven by others.
Another more important point is that Qingyan is too outstanding. It is a good thing to have outstanding subordinates, but when the excellence of his subordinates exceeds a certain level and may even surpass himself, it is not a good thing. When he grows up one day, will he still be willing to follow him? Maybe he will backfire on his master.
Now that the two sides have become enemies, even if he takes the initiative to give in, it is impossible to turn hostility into friendship. Since he cannot be won over, he can only let the other party die. Master Lingxu looked at the blue-backed alcoholic bee in front of him and said coldly: "What can a spiritual insect in the foundation-building stage do? It's just one. I want to see how powerful it is."
Master Lingxu's words also make sense. Spiritual insects are different from monsters. Monsters are huge in size and have abundant physical strength. Their attack and defense are higher than those of cultivators of the same level. Although their intelligence is slightly lacking, their overall strength is not weaker than that of cultivators of the same level.
Spiritual insects are generally very small. In addition to their more flexible body movements, the energy or power contained in their bodies is smaller than that of cultivators and monsters of the same level. They are at a disadvantage in a head-on fight, and generally have to rely on some special skills to win. Because of this, spiritual insects have always won by quantity. A large number of spiritual insects attack at the same time, which is so dense that it is hard to defend against, making the enemy lose sight of one thing and lose another, thus losing.
There are both advantages and disadvantages for cultivators to raise spiritual insects. A small amount of spiritual insects is not very helpful to cultivators, and raising a large number of spiritual insects requires a lot of resources, which few cultivators can afford. Therefore, cultivators who use spiritual insects to assist in battle are relatively rare in the world of immortal cultivation.
Of course, Qingyang's situation is a special case. He subdued high-level spiritual insects with a very low cultivation level, so the alcoholic bees contributed a lot in normal battles. Even if the overall strength of spiritual insects is lower than that of cultivators of the same level, the alcoholic queen bee is at the foundation-building level after all. The gap between levels cannot be made up by external objects and means alone. The alcoholic queen bee can shock everyone with its momentum alone.
Today's alcoholic queen bee is equivalent to the second level of foundation building. Lingxu Gongzi's cultivation is slightly worse, only the first level of foundation building. Although the alcoholic queen bee is at a higher level, Qingyang is not sure of winning. This is just under normal circumstances. If Lingxu Gongzi has any means beyond ordinary people, it is not certain who will win or lose in the end.
Sure enough, after Master Lingxu finished speaking, his mind moved, and a treasure appeared above his head. This treasure was less than seven feet high, about the thickness of an arm, with many fiery red lotus patterns carved on the outside, and feet underneath. On the top was a lotus platform wrapped in two layers of lotus petals, and in the middle of the lotus platform, there was a black and red wick.
As soon as this treasure was released, there was a light bang, and a flame came out from the wick. The flame was not big, swaying in the wind in the middle of the lotus platform, as if a gust of wind could blow it out, but Qingyang didn't dare to look at it that way, because from the momentum released by the flame, it seemed that it could burn all things in the world, and it could be felt that everything was just an illusion.
Qingyang recognized it at a glance. It was a spiritual weapon with fire attributes, which should be called the Fire Lotus Lamp. He had seen many similar treasures before, but the level was relatively low, at most it was the level of the best magic weapon. However, judging from the power released by this Fire Lotus Lamp, it has exceeded the Yin Yang Slash and Purple Cloud Sword he had seen before. It is very likely to be a mid-grade spiritual weapon.
As soon as this thing appeared, the momentum of the alcoholic queen bee on the opposite side could not help but stagnate, because she also felt the power of the Fire Lotus Lamp. If she accidentally got a little bit of fire, the consequences would be disastrous.
Facing such a threat, she naturally could not sit and wait for death. Before Master Lingxu was ready, the alcoholic queen bee had disappeared. When she saw the blue figure again, the alcoholic queen bee was less than ten feet away from Master Lingxu.
The speed of the foundation-building level was amazing. The mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators like Qingyang and Jiao Hong could only catch a residual image and had no way to defend themselves. Only Young Master Lingxu could barely see the attack route of the alcoholic bees. It was too late to block it with the Fire Lotus Lamp. He could only flash and use a ghostly body movement to avoid the attack of the alcoholic queen bee.
After missing the first attack, the alcoholic queen bee turned in the air and rushed towards Master Lingxu again, even faster than before. Master Lingxu had no time to breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing the attack coming again, he could only dodge desperately again. Fortunately, he had many means of defense, especially the ghostly body skills, which seemed to have a great origin and always played a role at the critical moment, so that he would not be caught up by the alcoholic queen bee.
But Master Lingxu also knew that dodging like this was not a solution. The alcoholic queen bee never gave him the opportunity to use the fire lotus lamp. Sooner or later, she would catch up with him. Once the spirit insect got close to him, the consequences would be disastrous. So taking advantage of the opportunity to dodge again, Master Lingxu quietly activated a low-grade attack talisman and slashed at the alcoholic queen bee.
When Qin Ruyan used the low-grade talisman to resist the Monkey King, he needed everyone to buy time for him, and he almost had his inner qi drained. However, for a foundation-building cultivator like Master Lingxu, it is very easy to activate a low-grade talisman.
The alcoholic queen bee is not very intelligent, but she knows how to avoid danger and seek good fortune. Although the low-grade attack talismans will not take her life, she will definitely be injured if she is hit.
