Chapter 304: Chapter 297 Cultivating the Golden Toad_1
Today, upon entering the maze within the Ancient Banyan Tree, he deliberately did not cut the wound too deep.
Then, he stood by and watched.
Initially, the wound on the trunk healed quickly, but it soon stopped, with the dark green tree blood continuing to drip out.
“Thank you!”
Qin Niu patted the trunk of the Ancient Banyan Tree and, as a token of gratitude, channeled a thread of the Everlasting Spring Technique’s power into the tree.
He began to sit under the tree and meditate with his eyes closed.
His cultivation level was rapidly increasing.
By evening time, his Medicine King Sutra had successfully broken through another layer, advancing him to the sixth level of the Acquired Realm.
This cultivation speed left him very satisfied.
He hadn’t consumed the Peiyuan Elixir bestowed by the Black Tiger Gang Leader.
Since he wasn’t facing any bottlenecks, and his cultivation speed had reached dozens of times faster than outside, there was no need to consume the elixir.
It would be better to save it for when he was breaking through a major realm.
Based on his experience with consuming Boundary-breaking Elixirs, it was best to save such elixirs to break through bottlenecks.
Having killed so many experts without obtaining a single Boundary-breaking Elixir or similar top-tier elixir, it was clear that such elixirs were extremely scarce resources. For this reason, Qin Niu had to be prepared to use common elixirs when facing bottlenecks.
He stood up and checked the five jars placed around the trunk.
Just like yesterday, they had already filled up with tree blood.
After collecting the jars, the wound on the trunk healed slowly.
Through two days of experimentation, he was certain that the Ancient Banyan Tree was showing him goodwill.
This tree indeed possessed a certain degree of sentience.
Today, when he went out, he tried not to use Fourth as a guide.
But he still got trapped.
This suggested that the maze of the Ancient Banyan Tree might naturally exist, and perhaps even the tree itself couldn’t control it.
Carrying the five jars of tree blood, he arrived in front of the Ant Nest; the Zombie Ant was still evolving, and the Ant Queen was in normal condition, not having evolved any special abilities yet.
Qin Niu continued to persist in feeding them.
After all, he was feeding them one Taiyin Yaoyao per day.
Until it advanced or evolved a new special ability.
When he got home, the lotus pond in the backyard was completed.
Tang Fang’s craftsmanship was commendable; the lotus pond was built very sturdily. But he couldn’t use it just yet; it needed a couple of days before water could be poured into it.
Qin Niu also checked on the Green Demon Bee; it seemed to have grown a bit after feeding on fresh blood.
But it hadn’t yet managed to merge with the egg of the Corpse Bee.
On the other hand, after absorbing the fresh blood of Elder Jiu Yin, the Green Silk Worm grew at an astoundingly fast rate.
It was almost changing daily.
“Wart Toad, come here!”
Qin Niu called out, and the Red-eyed Golden Toad lying in a cool corner of the yard immediately hopped over.
“I plan to help you increase your level, but this process carries some risks and could be quite lengthy. What do you think?”
“Croak!”
It let out a croaking sound, indicating its agreement.
All creatures are incredibly persistent in their pursuit of becoming stronger, unable to resist such temptation.
Qin Niu could stay peacefully in the countryside without having to enlist in the army for now, so he thought of taking this opportunity to help the Golden Toad level up one more time.
It was currently at Grade Seven.
Among Elder Jiu Yin’s twelve disciples and their insects, the strongest were around Grade Seven.
The king insect of Elder Jiu Yin’s Taiyin Yaoyao should be at the peak of Grade Seven, not quite reaching Grade Eight. The Four-Winged Demon Centipede might have reached Grade Eight.
In facing these formidable insects, the Golden Toad was clearly somewhat inadequate.
It could only manage to deal with ordinary Taiyin Yaoyao.
This was definitely not enough.
As Qin Niu’s strength continued to grow, so too did the strength of his enemies.
This was also an inevitable process.
