Chapter 84: Chapter 79: The First Level 3 Termite i

The night was already deep.
After bathing and changing his clothes, Qin Niu came to the backyard to maintain his treasured sword and cultivate.
This had essentially become his daily routine.
Unfortunately, All Niu was still evolving and it was still uncertain when he would complete his evolution. Otherwise, with him as a guide freely entering and leaving the domain of the Ancient Banyan Tree, that would be truly exhilarating.
The twentyfold cultivation speed was simply too enchanting.
Time flew by swiftly.
A night of cultivation passed in the blink of an eye.
His cultivation level increased by about 4 points, now cultivating for an hour roughly increased it by 1 point.
If it were under the Ancient Banyan Tree, that would be a bit terrifying, with an increase of 20 points in cultivation level per hour.
He stood up and took out his treasured sword to inspect it.
The green lines within the sword blade had become clearer and more stable. He tried swinging the sword through the air, and a thread of blade qi was exceptionally dazzling in the faint morning light.
“The blade qi has grown a bit stronger,” he remarked.
But its consumption of Banyan Tree Blood was way too fast, the blood in the stone trough had already turned transparent, like clear water.
He hoped All Niu would complete his evolution soon, otherwise, the Banyan Tree Blood could support at most three or four more days before running out completely.
He looked at the two Jin Chan he had caught yesterday, immediately went back to the room to fetch the cage, and checked it.
He saw that the number of Jin Chan inside the cage had doubled from two to four.
Two of them were empty shells.
Both Jin Chan had successfully molted last night and completed their metamorphosis.
Now, if he opened the cage, they would definitely take flight flapping their wings.
Qin Niu carefully observed the male Jin Chan, reassessing it.
At the moment, it was searching for an exit in the cage, looking to escape.
To make it emit its chirp, Qin Niu brought over a small wooden stick and deliberately teased it.
“Chee…”
A husky, cracked sound emerged, not at all loud and clear.
However, Qin Niu’s eyes lit up slightly.
The chirp just issued by the male Jin Chan was piercing to the ear and uncomfortable to listen to.
He tried to tease it again with the stick.
“Chee chee…”
Its chirp was still hoarse; to the ears, it was nothing but irritating, making one wish to slap it dead.
[Male Jin Chan, health status excellent, lifespan around 7 days, special ability (emit a piercing chirp, significantly increasing the probability of being discovered by predators.)]
Insect Identification +0.1.
Qin Niu had successfully identified this Jin Chan.
He was pleasantly surprised to find that identifying a special insect increased the skill proficiency tenfold.
Identifying a common insect, Insect Identification skill proficiency +0.01, but this time it increased by 0.1.
Only the special ability of this male Jin Chan really broadened his horizons.
It was more like a self-sabotage skill.
Almost all wild animals go to great lengths to reduce the probability of being discovered by predators, but this male Jin Chan took the path less traveled, doing the exact opposite.
Was it complaining that its life was not short enough?
Capturing an insect with a special ability was truly too difficult.
After so much pain and effort, digging at least two hundred cicada pupae, he finally managed to catch two Jin Chan that were different from the rest.
And the result? Its special skill turned out to be self-sabotaging.
Short-lived, with a lousy special skill, how much could it sell for?
He had been hoping to sell it for one or two Silver Money to buy a Low-grade Contract Charm.
As for buying other cultivation resources, he dared not even think about it now.
He looked at the female Jin Chan.
One could see that its abdomen had one more stripe than the male Jin Chan, vastly similar.
The female Jin Chan doesn’t chirp; it only lays eggs.
The special ability of these two Jin Chan should be the same.
The probability of the female Jin Chan laying offspring with a self-sabotaging skill is not small.
Its lifespan is around 10 days.
Its health status is very good.
Insect Identification +0.1.
He was thoroughly lost for words. The two Jin Chan he had high hopes for were just this sort of thing; forget about selling them for one or two Silver Money, even ten Wen Money each might not fetch a buyer.
Seeing their anxious manner, he simply put the two Jin Chan together in a cage.
The male Jin Chan, upon seeing the female, immediately vibrated its wings emitting a shrill, ear-piercing chirp.
Qin Niu picked two fresh tender leaves to feed them.
Jin Chan most enjoy sucking the juice from plant tender leaves.
Listening to the male Jin Chan incessantly screeching, Qin Niu felt even more disgusted. After finishing the last meal of bear meat and feeding a bit to the little turtle, he put on his basket, took Xiao Niu, and headed directly into the mountains.
More than two days had passed, and the newly cultivated White Termites had basically completed their evolution.
Let’s go take a look.
“All Niu!
Passing by Wang Furen’s house, Wang Wanyan’s call came from the attic.
He looked up, and her eyes were a bit red and swollen.
She must have cried very sadly yesterday.
Seeing her woeful and pitiful appearance, Qin Niu couldn’t help but feel pity.
“Is there something you need?” he asked.
He knew that Wang Wanyan may have been aware that he would be leaving in the morning, so she had opened her window early, waiting.
If she was looking for him, it definitely was important.
Wang Wanyan looked around, and, seeing no one else, she threw a paper ball to Qin Niu.
“Right now, you’re the only one who can help me. If you agree, just nod your head. If not, pretend 1 never asked,” she said softly.
Qin Niu unfolded the paper ball, quickly reading the words it contained.
After reading, he nodded at Wang Wanyan.
In an instant, a hint of a smile emerged on her delicate and sorrowful face.
