Chapter 335 - Chapter 335: Chapter 328: Cultivating a Group of Termite Breeding Experts_1 (2/2)
The foundation of one’s own cultivation is the fundamental, and it’s certainly unwise to expend a large amount of time on pet breeding in the long run.
It feels a bit like neglecting the essentials for the sake of the trivial.
Qin Niu then had the ten Worker Ants nurture ten newly hatched young ants that were three days old.
It was evident that two of the Worker Ants were already summarizing the experience from last time, significantly reducing the amount of Ancient Banyan Tree Blood fed to them.
After feeding the ten young ants, two of them exploded and died on the spot.
One might have survived because the dose fed was too small, but its body only slightly swelled. According to Qin Niu’s breeding experience, although this Termite could survive, it would be very difficult for it to advance.
At most, it would evolve some special ability.
But it would be much weaker than a Termite that successfully advanced.
An hour later, of the ten three-day-old hatched young ants, five had died.
The remaining five survived successfully.
However, one of them had consumed so little Ancient Banyan Tree Blood that it was unlikely to advance.
Therefore, the actual survival rate was only four ants.
The successful breeding rate suddenly rose to 40%, which greatly exhilarated Qin Niu.
Moreover, since the newly hatched young ants were quite small, they consumed much less Ancient Banyan Tree Blood than the adult Termites did.
This was very cost-effective.
The Ancient Banyan Tree Blood is not unlimited, and Qin Niu did not dare to take too much at one time.
Especially after the last discovery that the Ancient Banyan Tree might have already awakened its spirit intelligence, he approached the mysterious old tree with a heart full of reverence.
If he took too much blood and it caused some unfavorable changes, Qin Niu might get counter-killed.
Or he might never be able to obtain Ancient Banyan Tree Blood again.
Like now, this should be the best state of harmonious coexistence.
The uses of Ancient Banyan Tree Blood are of great variety, besides being able to cultivate Termites, it can also be used to foster other pets.
He even suspected that Ancient Banyan Tree Blood could be used to nurture all kinds of pets.
On the contrary, the Subspecies Bodhi Tree Blood was greatly limited.
So far, it has only been experimented with for cultivating Termites.
Now that he had discovered a method of having Worker Ants nurture the young ants on their behalf, he could conserve a significant amount of Ancient Banyan Tree Blood and free himself from the laborious task of breeding.
This was indeed beneficial in many ways.
“In the future, Worker Ants can start nurturing them on the third day after the young ants hatch.”
He looked up at the sky, which still left a little time, so he took Fourth directly into the maze within the Ancient Banyan Tree.
The Ink Blade now consumes quite an amount of Ancient Banyan Tree Blood every day, and Qin Niu fulfills its needs wholeheartedly.
In this world, one must possess a powerful weapon.
With the Ink Blade, even if faced with a peak level expert of the Innate Realm or even a strong individual of the Spirit Qi Realm, he would be able to slay them with a single cut.
This would greatly enhance Qin Niu’s self-defense capabilities.
After he had made several cuts to the body of the Ancient Banyan Tree and collected the blood, he did not rush to cultivate. Instead, he climbed the tree to pluck its leaves.
Strangely, there were no fallen leaves from the Ancient Banyan Tree on the ground.
Perhaps this tree had become a spirit and stopped shedding leaves?
This was somewhat against the laws of nature.
He picked two leaves, intending to take them out for the mute girl Bei Bing to craft talismans.
These were the leaves of a Tree Demon and should be suitable for making some advanced talismans.
There was no anomaly when he plucked the leaves from the Ancient Banyan Tree.
Just that when plucked, they felt very tough.
Then, he took one leaf in his hand and placed another inside a copper box before taking them out with him.
