Immortality: Raising an Ant Queen to Cultivate by increasing stat points

Chapter 478: Chapter 470 Three No Help_1

Because it dared not gamble and couldn’t afford to lose.

Seeing that the time was right, Qin Niu didn’t say any more. He directly activated the Low-grade Contract Charm in his hand. A golden light shot towards the Mirage Insect’s true body, which only resisted briefly before actively collaborating with Qin Niu to complete the soul contract.

This must be the easiest taming of a demon insect that Qin Niu had ever experienced.

With just one Low-grade Contract Charm and in an extremely brief period of time, he had successfully tamed it; everything went so smoothly that he found it hard to believe.

As the soul contract was successfully formed between them, he felt his Spirit Space being filled up again.

It even exceeded the load, giving him a very ‘strained’ feeling.

Almost every Insect Master and Beast Tamer would encounter a similar dilemma as his.

Human greed knows no bounds.

Upon encountering insects or beasts, birds they like, they would think of taming them.

But the Spirit Space is limited; taming a few more pets can easily fill it up.

At this time, most Insect Masters or Beast Tamers would choose to eliminate some of the old pets to make room for new ones in their Spirit Space.

Because as their strength continuously improved, the pets they tamed would certainly become stronger and stronger.

There was also another solution, and that was to strive to improve their cultivation level, or through meditation, consuming some elixirs or nourishing teas that enhance spiritual power, to increase their spiritual power, and continuously expand the Spirit Space.

Qin Niu had deep feelings for every insect or beast bird he had tamed; naturally, he wouldn’t easily eliminate them.

Therefore, he chose the most hardcore method, which was finding ways to increase spiritual power and to expand the Spirit Space.

It’s just a pity that treasures capable of enhancing spiritual power were too scarce.

After taming the Mirage Insect, he directly placed it into the Insect Bag.

As the Night Gu was also put into the Hundred Treasures Insect Bag, the light in this area quickly returned to normal, and it became daytime once again.

The branches of the Ancient Banyan Tree also rose automatically.

Qin Niu stood under the tree and quietly observed the changes of the Ancient Banyan Tree. He found that after reaching the Dual Innate Realm, resisting the chilly energy of the Ancient Banyan Tree was significantly easier. If it had been before, he would have fled long ago.

Having been attacked by the chilly energy for so long, he still had excess strength.

He could hold on for at least half an hour more.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

This also served as a reminder for him, that in the future, relying on the Ancient Banyan Tree to kill those at the Spirit Qi Realm or an Immortal Master would be almost impossible to succeed.

Such existences all had some life-saving means.

He believed that they could resist the attack of the Ancient Banyan Tree for even longer.

This Ancient Banyan Tree should be kept as a secret cultivation realm instead.

“This is your first clone. Take good care of it!”

Qin Niu returned the first clone to the Mirage Insect.

Then, he left the Ancient Banyan Tree Maze, outside, was a bright sunny day. His wives and Xiao Qing were all waiting for him not far away.

This was also arranged by Qin Niu, to prevent any accidents, asking them to wait outside patiently.

“Husband, has the matter been settled?”

Wang Wanyan asked.

“Hmm, I’ve completely tamed that demon insect. Did you notice anything unusual outside just now?”

Qin Niu wanted to understand whether the transformation of the maze into night by the Night Gu also affected the outside.

“We didn’t notice anything unusual. What happened?”

Tang Caixian asked with concern.

“Oh, then never mind. Just now, that demon insect turned the sky inside to darkness. I thought that the outside might also be affected. It seems this maze can isolate the interior from the outside world.”

Qin Niu provided a brief explanation.

“Everyone, go and cultivate! Xiao Qing, you’ve made great progress recently. Keep up the effort, and if you can cultivate to the Spirit Qi Realm, you can also join me in attending the Water and Land Dharma Assembly.”

His gaze fell upon Xiao Qing.

Currently, Xiao Qing was still in the Acquired Realm, yet to reach the Innate Realm.

It was no easy task to advance into the Spirit Qi Realm within the remaining five months.

Qin Niu, on the other hand, had great hope.

His Everlasting Spring Technique was progressing toward the Later Stage of Innate Realm, while the power of the Medicine King Sutra had just broken through to the middle stage of the Innate Realm, focusing on consolidating his cultivation level.

“I don’t care about any Immortal fate; being by Master’s side is enough for me. Living with Master and the two sisters now, I feel especially happy.” Xiao Qing still had a child’s nature, cherishing the warmth of this home.

“You child, think further ahead! Among the four of us, as long as one person attains Immortal fate, the other three will benefit too. Each of us must strive hard. In this cruel world, if one’s strength is not strong enough, it’s difficult to even live peacefully in a remote village. On the contrary, if we have absolute strength, we can live peacefully no matter where we are.”

Qin Niu patiently enlightened her.

Xiao Qing showed a thoughtful expression, then nodded her head, evidently taking the advice to heart.

“Then I will practice diligently and do my best to compete for the Immortal fate.”

“That’s the spirit! Maybe one day, your strength will surpass ours, and then you can protect us in return,” Qin Niu said consolingly.

She just nodded vigorously.

…

Days flew by rapidly, with Qin Niu and his family practicing diligently every day. Tang Yan brought back news from the city that the Black Tiger Gang might go to war with the Nine Insect Gang again.

Last time, the Nine Insect Gang was decisively defeated, even losing the territory of the Seven-Star Sect. How could they suddenly have the strength to wage war against the Black Tiger Gang?

And why did the Black Tiger Gang allow the Nine Insect Gang to occupy one-third of the Shennong Sect’s land?

There must be demons at work in an abnormal phenomenon.

There certainly was an unknown reason behind this.

Qin Niu was not interested in sect conflicts, nor did he want to interfere. He was well aware that striving to enhance his cultivation and combat power was the true path.

That evening, as he and his wives, along with Xiao Qing, just returned home, they saw Xu Zhenchang’s wife squatting at the door, weeping and wailing.

Qin Niu had taken his wives out for cultivation during the day.

The servants at home did not dare to let outsiders into the house. If Xiao Qing were home, she would definitely have invited Li Shuixiang inside.

The Qin Residence needed to find a few suitable stewards.

When the master was not home, the stewards could handle some matters.

Now with abundant assets, Qin Niu needed two to three stewards to help manage them so that he could be completely liberated from those duties.

“Auntie, what happened? Please come inside and have some tea!”

Qin Niu invited Li Shuixiang into the house without scolding the servants for their lack of sense.

Serving in the Qin Family, as long as they did not commit any principled mistakes, he never treated them harshly.

“Master Qin, you have to save my husband… sob sob!”

Li Shuixiang entered the house crying.

As she entered the living room, she knelt on the floor with a thud.

“Stand up! If it’s within my capabilities, I will definitely try to help your family resolve the issue,” Qin Niu said.

Actually, he already knew what it was about.

Xu Zhenchang owed a debt of nine Silver Money in order to please Liu Qing’s wife. This was not a small sum. For wealthy families, it might just be petty cash.

The Xu Family’s financial situation was even worse than that of Wang Furen, and they had lost quite a bit of money on farming this year. To repay the nine Silver Money, they had no other choice but to sell their land.

However, the war was not entirely settled yet, and the insect plague had not completely disappeared either. Although the land price had increased slightly, it was still very low.

Previously, one mu of good farmland could sell for thirteen Silver Money, but now even getting eight Silver Money per mu was difficult.

“My darned husband borrowed Silver Money from the Baofeng Silver Bank in Black Tiger City. He borrowed a full nine Silver Money, and with the interest rolling and compounding, the debt collectors have come. If we cannot repay the Silver Money, they’re going to chop off my husband’s hands to collect some interest. I’m begging you, Master Qin, to stand up for my family.”

She knelt on the ground, refusing to get up.
