Immortality: Raising an Ant Queen to Cultivate by increasing stat points

“Master Zi Zhou instructed that the verdant elixir is the main elixir, which humans can consume. Those two smaller beads are the subsidiary elixirs, which absorbed the violent energy humans couldn’t during the tempering process. They can be consumed by earth attribute beast pets. All three elixirs can enhance the cultivator’s power,”

the delivery staff replied.

Qin Niu, upon hearing this, felt very satisfied.

A major elixir pharmacy truly is different, trustworthy as gold.

If it were a dishonest elixir pharmacy, those two subsidiary elixirs would definitely be intercepted privately.

Even the main elixir might be swindled away.

Of course, those who can afford a beast core, along with one hundred forty to fifty silver money for the refinement fee, aren’t easy targets.

Trying to swindle them could easily lead to big trouble, and even throwing up what was swallowed along with the profit would be getting off lightly.

In the worst case, they might not even get to keep their lives.

“If Master Qin has no objections, please sign and imprint your handprint, then return the receipt to us so we can complete our job,”

After signing and imprinting, Qin Niu sent off the two staff members from Miaodan Pavilion, holding the three elixirs with great joy.

Longing for stars, longing for the moon, he had finally awaited the return of the Boundary-breaking Elixir.

His power should surge once more with the help of this main elixir.

As for the two subsidiary elixirs, since the little turtle is an earth attribute beast pet, he could give one to it.

Xiao Nui should also be of the earth attribute, and with giving it one, they would be distributed cleanly.

As for the Grade Seven Golden Toad, Qin Niu couldn’t figure out if it was of the earth or metal attribute. He suspected the metal attribute was more likely, given its ability to consume metal.

“Xiao Qing, I may not come home tonight, keep an eye on the house,”

Qin Niu reminded Xiao Qing before he left the house with his basket on his back.

Arriving by the pond in the front courtyard, he was not stingy at all.

He called directly into the pond, “Cowardly turtle, come out.”

Because it was incredibly timid, Qin Niu simply gave it a nickname accordingly.

The Diamond Ink Turtle emerged from the bottom of the water.

Its little mung bean eyes still frantically scanned around, extremely vigilant.

Having been scared into wetting itself by the Golden Toad last time, it was now exceedingly cautious every time it surfaced.

“Coward! Open your mouth!”

Qin Niu took out one earth-yellow subsidiary elixir, and the rich fragrance of the medicine immediately wafted out. In his hand, the elixir felt like a keg of gunpowder, seeming to contain a wildly fierce energy.

The little turtle seemed to know its stuff, staring at the elixir in his hand with its little eyes glowing green.

After eating this and getting stronger, show some more courage. Being such a coward is embarrassing me,”

Qin Niu’s own courage was actually not much bigger than that of the little turtle.

The little turtle opened its mouth wide, and Qin Niu precisely tossed the subsidiary elixir into it, which it swallowed with an extended neck.

“Make good use of it, don’t waste it.”

Even though it was just a subsidiary elixir, if sold on the market, it would easily fetch a hundred taels of silver.

Qin Niu was not clear on the exact value.

In his eyes, no matter how much silver money there was, it was just a pile of dirt; only by converting it into strength did it become something truly substantial.

To become his pets was certainly their fortune.

When cultivating beast pets, he was never stingy.

After feeding the little turtle, he left with Golden Toad in tow.

Nowadays, when venturing outside, he almost always took Fourth, some termites, and Golden Toad with him.

In the future, he could consider bringing along the War Bee as well.

With insects or beast pets for water, land, and air, he could calmly face whatever unexpected situations arose.

If he encountered some rare opportunity, he could also grasp it.

For example, facing an extremely rare and scarce insect, his own bug-catching ability would hardly suffice.

With Fourth and Golden Toad, it would be a different story altogether.

He could directly collect any rare insects he encountered into his pouch.

Since the number of war bees was still very small, he kept them to guard the beehive, to watch the house.

After he entered the mountain, his goal was unwaveringly the ant nest.

As soon as he reached the ant nest, he was shocked.

One by one, termites as thick as pinky fingers crawled out of the nest.

They emerged endlessly like a tide, then surrounded Qin Niu.

“Goodness, have they completed their evolution?”

It was about time by his calculations.

The evolved worker ants were all nimble and agile, with thick legs and strong mandibles—clearly adept at their work.

The soldier ants were terrifying.

They bore tiger stripes on their bodies, and their upper jaws gleamed with a cold light like fine steel; one bite would likely cut most insects in half on the spot.

Their legs were a bit longer than those of the worker ants, making them even more agile.

Just standing there, each radiated a presence of war and battle, as though they were elite troops ready to charge and fight on the battlefield.

The power worker ants, power soldier ants, demon ants, and elephantic ants had yet to complete their evolution.

The main force that had evolved now were just ordinary Grade Two worker ants and Grade Two soldier ants.

He felt their combat abilities were noticeably stronger than the existing Grade Two lightning ants and Grade Two tiger-striped soldier ants.

This was normal.

After all, their grade was one level higher.

Qin Niu checked their attributes.

Grade Three lightning worker ants, 673 in total, lifespan of 33 years, special abilities (agility, super-strong mandible bite, ant acid that assists in healing plant wounds, primary carapace).

Grade Three tiger-striped soldier ants, 277 in total, lifespan of 30.5 years, special abilities (agility, armor penetration, primary carapace, frenzy; in a frenzied state, speed increases by three times, attack power by five times, and defense by one time).

Their attributes and lifespan had significantly increased.

The Grade Three tiger-striped soldier ants even gained new abilities such as agility, armor penetration, and primary carapace.

This also meant that their combat power would increase multiple times over.

With this batch of fresh forces, Qin Niu would definitely be much more at ease if he encountered a formidable Insect Master again.

Last time, he encountered an ambush by Old Master Huang’s four thousand army ants and was put in a very difficult position, even losing several dozen Grade Two termites.

If, like now, he could add nearly a thousand Grade Three termites in one day,

he would break ten thousand in just around eleven days.

Even if he lost one or two hundred in battle, he could completely afford the loss.

“Alright, go back in! There will be time for you to shine. But usually, stay low- key for me and hide deep in the nest, that’s right.”

Qin Niu called out the one thousand newly-molted juvenile ants from the ant nest.

He was ecstatic to see another demon ant had emerged.

Both war bees and demon ants were rare species.

Their combat abilities were far stronger than other special ants.

Now, he had two demon ants and one war demon ant.

Once he managed to cultivate the demon ants, he could consider making them like giant locusts, becoming generals to lead a termite army into battle.

By then, with demon ants as generals, tiger-striped ironclad ants as lieutenants, dark poison ants, and elephantic soldier ants as special forces,

As for the ghost ants, as long as there was ample ‘Thousand Eyes Tree Blood,’ he could mass-produce them.

“The blood of the Ancient Banyan Tree is almost inexhaustible; I can take two or three jars of it every day. But the production of Thousand Eyes Tree Blood is very limited. Now that the termites have become fierce, the ‘Thousand Eyes Tree Blood’ consumed for their secondary cultivation will increase tenfold or even more. I’ve got to think of a way.”

Qin Niu was decent at cultivation.

The Everlasting Spring Technique was especially beneficial to plants, bringing them back from the brink and promoting rapid growth.

He was considering the possibility of cultivating the ‘Thousand Eyes Tree’ himself.
