Immortality: Raising an Ant Queen to Cultivate by increasing stat points Chapter 198 - 193: Medicine King Sutra Furnace and Cauldroni

Chapter 198: Chapter 193: dicine King Sutra Furnace and Cauldroni

Translator: 549690339

The Grade Two strong Worker Ants and Soldier Ants crawl almost as fast as the Swift Ants.

The crawling speed of the Grade Three Demon Ants has even reached the level of the Grade Two Lightning Ants.

However, in terms of strength, the Grade Three Demon Ants are clearly much weaker than Fourth.

Another point worth ntioning is that Grade Two strong Worker Ants and Soldier Ants do not possess any special abilities.

The special abilities of Grade Three Demon Ants include mid-level intelligence, basic exoskeleton, basic self-healing, super strong biting, Venom Attack, and an evolved abdon with a Poison Stinger and venom sac, whose venom has the dual toxicities of paralysis and soul erosion. Demonization increases their speed threefold, their attack power fivefold, and their defensive ability twofold when in the demonized state.

It feels like the abilities of the Grade Three Demon Ants are on par with Grade Two tiger-striped ironclad ants.

However, after demonization, their defensive power increases twofold, which is much stronger than that of the Grade Two tiger-striped ironclad ants.

Also, they have the basic ability of self-healing.

When injured, they can recover quickly.

With this ability alone, they can exhaust many opponents of equal strength.

Even minor injuries in battle can affect the exertion of combat power afterward.

Currently, even Fourth does not have the ability to heal itself.

With this ability, it’s like having a doctor and dicine with you at all tis.

Furthermore, Grade Three Demon Ants are equipped with an abdominal poison stinger that can sting the enemy.

Their venom is also incredibly effective, possessing both paralytic and soul-eroding toxicities.

Last but not least, the lifespan of Demon Ants is 30 years.

This is an incredibly long lifespan that other Termites would envy.

Ordinary Termites, many of which only live for half a year to three years, have a lifespan that is more than ten tis less than that of Demon Ants.

Only after drinking the Ancient Banyan Tree Blood and overcoming the trials of life and death did Fourth manage to increase its lifespan to 30.5 years.

This is only half a year longer than that of the Grade Three Demon Ants.

Qin Niu feels that although there are similarities between the Demon Ants and the War Demon Ants, they are not the sa species.

Fourth’s demonization ability is significantly stronger than that of the Demon Ants.

But it’s too early to draw any conclusions now, as the Grade Three Demon Ants have not yet consud the Ancient Banyan Tree Blood. Only after cultivating them will their true strength be known.

The Ancient Banyan Tree Blood is definitely a heaven-defying treasure; even an ordinary Termite that drinks it can quickly evolve special abilities.

After drinking the Ancient Banyan Tree Blood, the Demon Ants will surely gain additional special abilities.

But since they already possess many basic special abilities, it feels like the likelihood of evolving new special abilities is small. It’s more likely that their existing abilities will beco stronger.

The evolutionary path of each insect is largely similar.

They strive to enhance their strengths to gain stronger survival abilities in this complicated world.

Qin Niu did a detailed calculation based on the Demon Ant’s physique, weight, etc.

Then he fed it a safe dosage of Banyan Tree Blood.

What follows is a matter of patiently waiting.

The Ant Queen now lays a thousand eggs a day, and her appetite has beco astonishing.

She’s living the good life.

The food she eats is all ‘premium food’—the main food at this stage is the Grade Four Corpse Bee and the Grade Five Bee General.

So far, there hasn’t been any sign of her evolving new special abilities.

However, Qin Niu is not in a rush because she’s already a Grade Four insect, and evolving new special abilities is certainly more difficult than before.

Like the appearance of the dical Ant, if Qin Niu hadn’t persisted in feeding the leaves of Broadleaf Paris Polyphylla, it would’ve been difficult for this special ant species to erge.

As the Ant Queen grows stronger, the difficulty of her evolution will continue to increase.

The ease with which she used to evolve offspring with strong breeding properties after being fed bear blood or develop offspring with venom properties after being fed the corpse of a venomous insect is now almost impossible to achieve.

Unless Qin Niu can hunt down insects or beasts of very high grade.

Then use them to feed her.

Watching the Demon Ant consu the Ancient Banyan Tree Blood, he observed its reactions a bit nervously from the side.

Unexpectedly, its physical resilience seed to far exceed his expectations.

It made it through without any issues.

Once its condition stabilized, Qin Niu breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, as a rare species, the overall abilities and performance of the Demon Ant far exceed those of other special Termites by a large margin.

After cultivating the Termites, Qin Niu then went to collect blood from the Ancient Banyan Tree and cultivate the dicine King Sutra within its maze.

The cultivation speed that is twenty tis faster than the outside world is too tempting for him.

Moreover, its dicine aura is unparalleled by any plant. It can provide Qin Niu with an endless supply of dicine aura, helping him to rapidly improve his dicine King Sutra cultivation.

After entering beneath the Ancient Banyan Tree, he didn’t rush to cultivate but instead checked the bodies of Old Master Huang and that cat-faced woman.

They were gone without a trace, not even bones remained.

Only their clothes were left in place.

But the clothes of the two looked like they had been abandoned in the wild for three to four years, already beginning to rot away.

The Ancient Banyan Tree is truly formidable.

Qin Niu thought of the black Serpent-shaped Sword and dug it up to find it intact.

It indicates that although the Ancient Banyan Tree is powerful, it has no attacking ability against tals.

In the Five Elents, tal conquers Wood.

This attribute is likely the reason why the Ancient Banyan Tree cannot affect tals.

Qin Niu had a sudden inspiration.

What would happen if a tal house were placed beneath the Ancient Banyan Tree?

Would it be safe to live inside it?

It’s at least worth a try.

If it really is safe to have a tal house there, then he would essentially have another ‘special fortress’.

After completing his check, he went to collect the Banyan Tree Blood and cultivate the dicine King Sutra, which goes without saying.

As he continually absorbed a massive amount of dicinal energy, the power of his dicine King Sutra rapidly grew.

He had been stuck at the Mortal Realm’s tenfold for many days.

The power of the Everlasting Spring Technique had already reached the second layer of the Acquired Realm for quite so ti, and in a few more days, he estimated he could attempt to break through to the third layer.

However, the power of the dicine King Sutra just could not make a breakthrough.

This inevitably made him sowhat anxious.

As more and more dicinal energy was converted into power, he felt his body gradually inflating, swelling.

This made him increasingly uncomfortable.

He was even more worried about his body exploding.

The dicine King Sutra he acquired was a complete Cultivation Technique; the Mortal Realm’s tenfold was definitely not the limit.

Why couldn’t he make a breakthrough?

Without a master to guide him, he could only grope his way forward, and encountering such strange phenona as his body swelling made him sowhat fearful.

With his current conditions, he could fare quite well even without cultivating the dicine King Sutra.

It cannot be denied that after cultivating the dicine King Sutra, indeed, there were considerable benefits.

Whether a herb or plant had value, what its properties were, he could now identify at a glance. This was a benefit brought by cultivating the dicine King Sutra.

He believed that as his power increased, it was very likely new abilities would erge.

He grit his teeth and persisted, yet his heart was still wavering.

Several tis he thought about stopping the cultivation.

But in the end, he overca his fear and worry, continued to cultivate. Moreover, his determination gradually beca firm.

The dicine King Sutra was left to Xiao Qing by her parents. If there really were any problems, her parents would not have passed it down to their daughter.

Since there were no issues, it ant that cultivating the dicine King Sutra should be safe.

Even if Qin Niu made so mistakes in cultivating this technique, it should not lead to a body explosion and death.

And from the first layer to the tenth layer of the Mortal Realm, everything had been normal.

This indicated that his cultivation thod should be correct.

The situation now arising was very likely a tribulation that one must go through in the process of cultivating the technique.

It was like the termites looking to beco stronger, which, after consuming the Ancient Banyan Tree Blood, had to go through a life-and-death tribulation.

After thorough contemplation, Qin Niu’s will beca unwavering and fearless, pressing forward relentlessly.

His body swelled more and more, but fortunately, after the power of the Everlasting Spring Technique reached the Acquired Realm, it had tempered and strengthened his body a second ti. This allowed him to safely withstand the rapid expansion.

Otherwise, his skin might have cracked from being overstretched.

As his cultivation continued, when his body swelled to a peak, it seed like there was a change in the dantian within his abdon.

There, a large amount of the dicine King Sutra’s power had condensed. They were like a vortex in a raging current, spinning at high speed.

It generated a strong potent force, which like a rolling snowball, began to pull in more and more of the dicine King Sutra’s power.

When it reached a critical point, Qin Niu distinctly perceived that within it, a cauldron was gradually forming.

In the beginning, like a gestating fetus, it was just a tiny rudintary form.

Even its outline was sowhat vague and indistinct.

As ti passed, it nurtured and changed bit by bit until the outline beca clear.

The shape of a cauldron gradually took form.

And it beca increasingly substantial.

Once the cauldron was ford, the power of the dicine King Sutra within Qin Niu felt like it had found its place.

They all fused into the cauldron.

Who knows how much ti had passed when Qin Niu slowly opened his eyes, his body had long since returned to normal.

Inside him, there was now a cauldron ford from the condensation of the dicine King Sutra’s power.

It rotated slowly.

It functioned akin to a heart, ceaselessly drawing in new dicine King Sutra power, before exhaling a portion of it.

Qin Niu discovered that the dicine King Sutra power it exhaled was clearly more refined.

The function of this cauldron seed to be the refinent of the dicine King Sutra’s power.

Perhaps it had other uses as well, which he needed to explore.

Finally, his dicine King Sutra’s power broke through the confines of the Mortal Realm, reaching the first layer of the Acquired Realm.

However, his current state was not very stable.

It would probably require a few more days of cultivation to solidify his realm.

When he sensed the Ancient Banyan Tree again, he felt sothing different from before.

Before, he thought its energy was like a vast ocean.

Now, sensing its energy felt more like a large lake, or perhaps calling it an inner sea would be more appropriate. He was able to perceive its specific energy, rather than just vaguely sensing its terrifying energy as before.

He checked the changes in his lifespan.

128 years old.

He gained an additional ten years of life.

Originally, his lifespan was 118 years.

Compared to ordinary people, his lifespan was already that of an elder amongst the long-lived.

But compared to his pets, it really wasn’t much at all.

The extension of a human’s lifespan is inherently much more difficult.

The creator is very fair, granting humans higher intelligence while also making the human body the weakest and life the shortest.

If an ant were to achieve the height and weight of a human, it could easily kill an adult male.

If a rat were to grow as big as a human, if it found a human and there was no escape or hiding, it could instantly kill them.

The truly powerful aspect of humanity, the most spiritually advanced being, is wisdom.

Humans who live longer than two hundred years are already quite rare.
