Chapter 533, Changes of Thousands of Insects, Debunking Hidden Dangers
Yu Lie is a person with great wisdom. Even before he embarked on the path of immortality, he had a deep understanding of the composition of flesh and life. However, at that time, he was not entirely certain whether there would be significant differences between the flesh and life in this world and those in his previous life.
And now, after practicing for so long and gaining insight into the veins of the dragon, he realized that despite the differences between past and present lives, the principles that should be followed remain applicable. He could completely use the various principles from his past life as a reference for his current cultivation.
But now Yulie is just at the early stage of foundation building, and has just embarked on this path. He has not yet grasped a proper method to transform the various principles of his past life into his own magical power.
So far, he has only tried it on Yaba and made some gains, giving Yaba a "false immortality".
In the Purple Crystal Taoist Temple, Yu Lie sits cross-legged, comprehending the "insect transformation technique", and his face becomes even more joyful.
因为他从这法术当中，似乎就瞧见了一个能够让他将前世的种种经验，转化为今生仙道法力的路子。
“原来还可以这样……”
Yuli muttered in a low voice, his words were heard by Zizhuzi beside him, causing Zizhuzi's eyebrows to furrow.
"This sinner, what is the matter with him? When he sees such a different truth from our mountain and sea immortal path, the first reaction is not astonishment or perplexity, but joy?"
Purple Candle was extremely shocked by this situation.
It should be known that when she comprehended this secret method, she spent a very long time overcoming the pressure in her heart, gritting her teeth and following the principles in the secret method. She looked at the flesh and blood from the perspective of blood and flesh particles, rather than from the perspective of spiritual energy, to gain insight into life.
And then, to add to the astonishment of Zizhu, another surprising situation occurred.
The talisman on Yulie's forehead buzzed and contracted, indicating that Yulie had finished comprehending. Then, with his eyes closed, he suddenly began to pinch the spell in his hand, and waves of spiritual energy transformed on his body.
Immediately, Zi Zhuzi felt that Yulie's facial features seemed to have melted like wax, drooping down, and his face became a mass of wrinkles.
"This guy has already started trying to use Insect Transformation Technique?" Zi Zhuzi was shocked in his heart.
However, this situation only lasted for a few moments, and Yu Lie's facial features quickly returned to their normal state.
Yu Lie opened his eyes and sighed with regret.
"Indeed, it's a good spell, but unfortunately, it's not easy to get started."
He savored the feeling of failing to cast the spell just now, pondering over it several times. Then he looked up and met Zi Zhuzi's strange and monstrous gaze.
Yu Lie raised an eyebrow and asked, "Master Zi, I just practiced this technique, but something went wrong?"
Purple Candle stared at him and after a long time, said doubtfully, "You were already practicing Insect Transformation Technique just now? Answer honestly, don't think I lack education and try to deceive me."
Yu Lie chuckled and said:
"Indeed, how dare I deceive Master Zi. It so happens that this disciple has a doubt and needs to consult with Master Zi. I dare to ask Master Zi, the cultivation of this Transformation Insect technique often requires the formation of a cocoon, but when I saw Master Zi shed the liquor insects' exoskeleton, it didn't happen like this..."
Hearing these words, Zizhuzi put away the doubt on his face and instead looked serious, carefully explaining to Yulie:
"This method is ultimately just a spell, not a complete transformation of the physical body into insects. When you turn into insects, it is naturally necessary to form a cocoon, so that the physical body can dissolve and slowly grow into the shape of insects within the cocoon. But when the spell ends, it returns to our original appearances. It is the nature of our physical bodies to return to their original forms, and we do not need to spit silk and form a cocoon."
The problem raised by Yu Lie touches on a key point, directly making Zi Zhuzi understand that he truly comprehended the principles of the "Nine Transformations of the Silkworm" secret technique in a short period of time and was able to attempt the cultivation of the "Insect Transformation Technique".
Yuli continued to ask, "I wonder, Master Zi, how did you choose the wine worms as the transformation object for the Alchemy Insect technique? And how is it that this technique also made your physique so strong, not at all inferior to a physical Daoist?"
This question touches upon the crucial aspect of Zizhu's cultivation, and it's not convenient to disclose it to others.
However, Yu Lie is her first and most trusted disciple, and their relationship is intimate. After a moment of contemplation, she revealed the answer:
"The wine worm is a miraculous creature in the world that can assist cultivators in their practice of the Dao. In order to cultivate the Insect Transformation Art, one needs to have a catalyst in their body, similar to spiritual roots, to easily transform into a worm. In my case, I chose the wine worm as the blood essence catalyst when I was cultivating my physical body to establish a foundation. Not only did I choose the wine worm, but also five other poisonous worms. By doing so, perhaps I can transform into five different poisonous worms, each with their own unique uses."
She sighed softly, "Unfortunately, out of the five poisonous insects, the master was only able to refine half of one."
Without the need for further explanation from Zi Zhuzi, Yu Lie understood exactly what the other person meant by "half of one". One of them was undoubtedly referring to the wine insect, while the other half was the spider lower body that had previously been revealed.
"Originally, I intended to merge the five insects and use the effect of "Nine Transformations of Heavenly Silkworm" to see if I can fuse their spiritual roots into a physical body and spiritual roots comparable to a Golden Core bloodline. Moreover, it just happens to be compatible with our Sect's Five Ghosts Secret Art. In doing so, I can embark on the path of dual cultivation of life and cultivation."
Zi Zhuzi shook his head: "It's a pity. Although the idea is good, my experience is insufficient, and it is too ambitious to want to integrate with the Five Insects. In the end, I had to give up and focus on cultivating Yin God."
She chuckled softly, "Fortunately, the results were quite good. With the help of the wine bug, not only did I double my cultivation speed, but I also underwent two additional transformations. My physical body is not as weak as the average Yin Spirit Daoist."
Do not doubt the effectiveness of this metamorphosis spell. It truly allows one to enjoy the benefits of what they transform into, comparable to the transformation effect we achieve through consumption!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Lie's face suddenly became excited.
"So, Master Zi relies on the Technique of Insect Transformation to have the Jiu Insect Transformation and half of the Spider Transformation, thereby making his body robust!"
"Hua Chong Art" has a similar effect to the process where a Daoist incorporates bloodlines into their physical body during the foundation building stage, thereby gaining the corresponding bloodline effect. This practice can greatly enhance the physical body and increase one's foundation.
However, the difference is that it is not limited in terms of quantity!
The purple candle can refine the bloodline of five poisonous insects in the physical body and obtain a half transformation effect, while according to the mentioned in the Insect Transformation Art, all insects in the world can be transformed!
Yulie speculated, thinking that if he could master this method, wouldn't he be able to have several "transformations" during the foundation building stage?
By then, the effects of multiple transformations would accumulate, and his cultivation speed, physical strength, and spell power would all be greatly enhanced beyond what ordinary people can imagine.
Next to the purple candle, she saw that Yu Lie's face was excited, and after a little thought, she guessed what Yu Lie was thinking. She frowned slightly and said:
"Be quiet!"
This sound was like a grand bell that reverberated in Yu Lie's ears, instantly waking him up.
Yuli couldn't help but stare at the purple candle, and then heard the purple candle say word by word:
"Don't get too excited for now, remember, this method is ultimately just a remnant, and it is a method that was excluded by the immortals. Even if you don't care or believe in all of this, you must be cautious that practicing this method may lead to impurities in your physical body's spiritual root and bloodline."
She looked deeply at Yu Lie and said: "You are different from me. In the past, I was like a veterinarian trying to save a dying horse. Even if the physical potential was cut off, it had little impact."
Purple Candle reminded Yu Lie of this.
Unlike the other party, Yu Lie has already cultivated the Teng Snake bloodline in his body.
If random bloodlines are added to his body again, it is very likely that his bloodline will become mixed and easily reduce the potential of his physical body, thus reducing the probability of him achieving a top-grade pill.
In order to focus on the benefits in the Foundation Establishment realm, one ignores the various aspects of Nascent Soul Cultivation and everything that comes after. This can be considered as picking up sesame seeds but losing watermelons.
Yu nodded slightly, instantly becoming calm, showing that he understood.
However, Zizhizi could see that he was completely sober, and her face relaxed.
Next, she asked him in detail about the situation when Yulie was practicing spells just now, and she comforted him even more to prevent Yulie from thinking that she was scolding him intentionally for some reason.
After the initial exchange, Purpler Candle, a senior practitioner, shared their experience with Yulie, which deepened their understanding of the art of transforming bugs. Yulie realized the reasons for their recent failed attempts at practicing the technique.
He estimated that with just another ten tries, he would probably be able to master this spell!
Finally, Zi Zhuzi finished speaking, and the atmosphere between the two became quiet. She glanced at Yu Lie, her face reddened, as if she had thought of something. She then made an excuse that there was a batch of pills still being refined and she needed to go check on the furnace, asking Yu Lie to digest what he had gained on his own first.
Then the woman's figure flashed and she left the courtyard, disappearing into the depths of the Taoist temple.
After Zizhuzi completely left, Yu Lie still sat under the tree, his head lowered with a flash of brilliance in his eyes.
In his left hand, a dark book suddenly wriggled and slithered out.
This book is Yulie's sacred leather book, which records all the spells he has learned so far and various dragon vein information of different creatures. By shaking the leather book, he can drape it on himself and transform into any of the creatures within, borrowing their talents and enhancing the effects of his spells!
Yuli touched the leather book and squinted his eyes, saying:
"Ordinary Taoist practitioners need to have spiritual roots in their bodies to cultivate the 'Insect Transformation Technique' and then transform into it. But with this leather book in my hand, maybe it won't be so troublesome..."
