Sect Master’s Immortal Journey Chapter 102: Insect jar

As the biggest winner in this incident, Meng Zhang unfortunately cannot publicize it everywhere and can only hide his merit and fame.

When he returned to Taiyi Gate, he thought that General Houtu was experienced and well-informed, so he called him over to count the harvest with him.

While at the Li family's secret treasure house, Meng Zhang only made a preliminary inventory. Now that I have taken a closer look, I have found a lot of good things.

All the books were sorted out separately and allowed to be transcribed by the disciples before being placed in the Scripture Collection Pavilion.

As a foundation-building family with a heritage of more than 300 years, the Li family has its own unique features, although the family inheritance cannot be comprehensive.

During the process of cleaning up these books, General Houtu made comments from time to time, which benefited Meng Zhang a lot.

Such as spiritual objects, elixirs, talismans, etc., Meng Zhang selected some that he could use and carried them with him, while those that were temporarily unused were placed in the sect's treasury for disciples to exchange for their good deeds.

Three thousand low-grade spiritual stones were given to Jueying and two thousand were left. The remaining one thousand was enough to make up for Meng Zhang’s expenses this time.

With the fire talisman, the flying sword around his finger and the soft shock bell, Meng Zhang doesn't care much about other magic weapons. Simply put all the magical weapons harvested this time into the sect's warehouse.

While cleaning the magic weapon, General Houtu had a good eye and discovered a rare magic weapon, the insect jar.

This is a special magical weapon that can only be refined by certain sects who are proficient in the way of insects.

The Insect Control Jar can forcibly contain various demonic insects, allowing them to be strengthened in the Insect Control Jar, and then completely tamed.

All kinds of monsters tend to have relatively low intelligence. It is basically impossible to force monsters to do some overly complicated tasks.

After the demonic insects are collected into the insect jar, all aspects including wisdom will be greatly improved.

Meng Zhang had previously captured a beast-control ring that enslaved monsters. Compared with the insect control jar, the beast control ring is obviously too low-level and far inferior.

The demonic insect controlled by the insect jar has no chance of resisting and can only obey its master's orders wholeheartedly.

It is a pity that the monks of the Li family did not know the goods. They got a rare magic weapon like the Royal Insect Jar, but they could not identify it. They put it among the miscellaneous items, and now Meng Zhang got an advantage.

Monks who raise various types of monster insects often rely on the number of monster insects to win.

As far as Meng Zhang knows, there is a monk to the east of Qingzhu Mountain who is famous for raising monster insects.

This monk raised thousands of blood-sucking mosquitoes. When fighting with people, the overwhelming influx of blood-sucking mosquitoes was enough to completely drown the enemy.

Of course, raising so many blood-sucking mosquitoes requires a terrible amount of resources.

The current Taiyi Sect has neither the necessity nor the financial resources to raise too many demonic insects.

When General Houtu recognized the insect jar, Meng Zhang figured out how to use this magical weapon.

General Houtu secretly mined red copper ore by himself, which was not efficient and took up too much of his time.

Sandworms can burrow into the ground and sneak into the ground, and they are also used to eating large amounts of various ores.

This kind of monster that is easy to feed is the best miner.

The sandworm enters the mine, eats a large amount of ore, and then returns to the surface. At this time, controlling the sandworm to spit out ore completes a mining operation.

This mining method is not only concealed and efficient, but also does not require the use of miners.

In the past, Meng Zhang had never thought about taming sandworms for mining. But there is still no good way to control sandworms, especially since sandworms are not very intelligent. If the control is not good and the sand worms are exposed to cuprite, it will be a waste rather than gain.

Now there is a bug jar, which is perfect for controlling sandworms.

Before using the insect jar, there is another key process.

Each insect-protecting jar must be repeatedly refined by Taiyin True Water before it can be fully effective.

Low-quality True Taiyin Water is not too precious, but the magical tools and techniques that can condense True Taiyin Water are relatively rare.

For a while, it was really not easy to buy Taiyin True Water on the market.

Now, the only big boss is Hard Meng Zhang.

Every night, he worked hard to absorb the essence of Taiyin and condense the True Water of Taiyin.

Too much time was spent condensing Taiyin True Water, which of course affected his practice.

In fact, this is also a problem faced by many cultivators in the world of cultivation.

If you can practice the basic skills wholeheartedly and don't practice various spells at all, your cultivation speed will naturally be very fast.

However, without spells, there is no way to defend oneself from enemies.

The more spells you master, the richer your methods of fighting enemies will be, and the stronger your combat effectiveness will be. But being distracted from spells will naturally affect the progress of cultivation.

How to balance the relationship between the two and how to make trade-offs tests the wisdom of every cultivator.

As for the magic weapons, it is not yet known whether every cultivator can obtain enough magic weapons. The number of magic weapons that a cultivator can refine and control is limited.

For someone like Meng Zhang, who is at the seventh level of Qi Refining, it is already very difficult to control the first-level high-level flying sword, the first-level high-level fire talisman, and the first-level high-level frightening bell at the same time. If you want to continue to control other magic weapons, you are really powerless.

In addition to this insect jar, there are three second-level talismans among the Li family's treasures.

A second-level talisman that can be drawn by at least a second-level talisman master has the power of a monk in the foundation-building stage. Ordinary monks in the Qi refining stage simply cannot exert their full power.

A Quicksand Giant Talisman can summon a second-level Quicksand Giant.

A boulder puppet talisman can summon a second-level boulder puppet.

A second-level earth escape talisman can release the second-level earth escape technique.

This is a good thing to save life, and it was carefully collected by Meng Zhang.

As for the lion puppet guarding the treasure house, Meng Zhang also took it out.

Among the inheritance that Meng Zhang acquired at the trial site, there is some content about puppetry. And God General Houtu is simply a know-it-all, and he even dabbles in puppetry.

The two of them worked together and spent a lot of effort to dismantle the second-level puppet and change the preset instructions inside to be directly controlled by Meng Zhang.

Driving a second-level puppet requires at least mid-grade spiritual stones, and it consumes a lot of money.

It is said on the market that one hundred low-grade spiritual stones can be exchanged for one medium-grade spiritual stone. But in fact, because middle-grade spiritual stones are rarer and have more uses, when lower-grade spiritual stones are exchanged for medium-grade spiritual stones, it often costs an extra ten or two percent.

This second-level puppet finally gave Taiyi Sect the combat power in the foundation-building period. However, this big man who eats spiritual stones cannot be used often and can only be used as a hidden trump card.

Meng Zhang spent a lot of effort to barely get the middle-grade spiritual stone to drive the lion puppet.

Meng Zhang can condense a drop of Taiyin True Water every ten nights.

After several months of hard work, I was able to scrape together enough Taiyin True Water to perform a preliminary refinement on this insect-control jar.

After refining, the insect jar can finally be used normally.

The only pity is that this insect jar is only a first-level magic weapon and can only contain first-level monster insects.
