In the end, after defeating the strength of nine cows and two tigers, Fan Ming finally caught this guy who could escape.

At this moment, Fan Ming was clutching a slender red one tightly, squeezing his tongue in wonder.

It turns out that this is actually a red spirit earthworm. The so-called red spirit earthworm is a special kind of earthworm that only lives in the spiritual soil. It is a first-level monster, but it is a weaker existence among the first-level monsters. The adult red earthworm

The strength of the spirit earthworm is only equivalent to that of a monk on the third level of Qi Refining, but this red spirit earthworm has a very powerful ability, that is, this red spirit earthworm is born with the ability to escape from the earth. This ability to escape from the earth is not

It's like ordinary earthworms crawling through holes, but it's true earth escape!

This red spirit earthworm is extremely good at earth escape. It is said that the fastest speed at which an adult red spirit earthworm can perform the earth escape technique is even faster than a high-level Qi Refining monk running on the ground.

This is a unique monster whose talent is focused on earth escape.

However, the most famous thing about the red spirit earthworm in the world of immortality is not its earth escape technique, but its other ability - cultivating spiritual earth!

Generally speaking, spiritual soil can only be found in places with abundant spiritual energy that have settled over a long period of time. The soil in that place has gradually been transformed into spiritual soil because it has been "soaked" in spiritual energy for a long time.

This process is often very slow, ranging from thousands of years to tens of thousands of years. Moreover, during this process, if the concentration of spiritual energy in that place suddenly drops significantly for some reason, it will cause the process of "spiritual soil transformation" to stagnate or even stagnate.

Once the time exceeds a certain limit, the process of "reverse spiritual soil transformation" will occur, that is, it will regress back to ordinary soil. This is why spiritual soil is rare in the Xiu Xiu Immortal World.

However, this is not the only way to create spiritual soil.

Many years ago, someone discovered that there was a monster that looked like an earthworm. It could make a piece of land that was originally a mixture of spiritual soil and ordinary soil, and after a few years, the entire land turned into spiritual soil!

And this monster is the red earthworm that Fan Ming caught in his hand.

To put it simply, this red spirit earthworm is a monster that can use the original spiritual soil to create spiritual soil.

Of course, this process also requires feeding the red spirit earth a large amount of food rich in spiritual energy, such as withered spiritual plants, powdered spiritual stones, and even the feces of powerful monsters...

Without these spiritual foods, the red earthworms would not be able to create new spiritual soil.

But in general, the investment is still greater than the output. After all, spiritual soil is an extremely precious resource.

Therefore, many sects including the Spiritual Medicine Sect and even the spiritual fields owned by cultivating families will raise a small amount of red earthworms.

As for why we can't raise large quantities of red spirit earthworms... it's not because of their habits that they can't be raised in large quantities at the same time.

It's because the red earthworm itself is very rare. Its rarity is even higher than that of spiritual soil. You must know that red earthworms cannot be found in every piece of spiritual soil.

The reason for its rarity is entirely due to their own problems. This strange monster has a very long lifespan, which can live for more than three hundred years, but its growth cycle is also very "long". A newly born red spirit earthworm

It takes a hundred years to reach adulthood, and his ability to cultivate spiritual soil can only be activated after he reaches adulthood.

If this were the only thing, it wouldn't cause any distress to the human monks who wanted to raise it. The key is that this red earthworm is a very "Buddhist" monster. It has low desires in all aspects, except for eating.

In addition to avoiding "natural enemies", it can't move in the soil, especially because its desire in that area is even lower, which is commonly known as "x indifference". If this is the case, human monks can still find a way.

, but the most terrible thing is that like ordinary earthworms, red spirit earthworms are both male and female, or hermaphrodites. They will experience a fierce fight when mating... Of course, not in that sense.

Fighting...

It is a real fight and a "showdown" in the true sense. The winner enjoys the victory, while the loser is responsible for giving birth to a baby.

Here is the key. After giving birth to a baby, the red earthworm may become more cold and indifferent after giving birth to a baby, and is no longer willing to participate in the "mating duel". If it is forced to mate,

It will even "show you", which leads to the fact that a red spirit earthworm will only have one child in its lifetime.

The convergence of these factors eventually led to the scarcity of red earthworms, and also caused those monks who wanted to obtain stable spiritual soil by raising red earthworms to face very high raising costs.

The contradiction lies here. The major cultivating sects that have the ability to raise red spirit earthworms have a more cost-effective way to obtain spiritual soil. Red spirit earthworms are useless to them, while the cultivators who have no other better way to obtain spiritual soil

The forces cultivating immortals cannot afford to raise red earthworms...

Thinking of this, Fan Ming looked at the red earthworm in his hand again, feeling as if he had found an unexpected fortune, because this red earthworm was already an adult.

Fan Ming guessed that it probably came from other places.

Otherwise, in the past two years or so, I have often used my spiritual consciousness to check the nearby situation, even the bottom, so it is impossible that I have not discovered its existence once.

"Could it be that there is spiritual soil nearby?"

Fan Ming couldn't help but think that after all, this red earthworm couldn't possibly have come from such a far away place, because the red earthworm has many natural enemies, so generally speaking, even if it moves its territory, it will move to the nearest place.

It’s a place where you won’t have to travel long distances.

Fan Ming can think of only one place where there is spiritual soil recently... that is the spiritual medicine garden in the sect...

"Hiss... this red spirit earthworm couldn't have escaped from the elixir garden, right?" Fan Ming couldn't help guessing.

This is not impossible. After all, the distance between this canyon and the elixir garden is not too far. The probability of this red spirit earthworm escaping from the elixir garden and running here is not low.

But this is just his guess, and Fan Ming doesn't dare to vouch for it. Maybe there are spiritual soils in other places nearby...

But now there are two options before us. One is to treat it as a red earthworm that escaped from the elixir garden, and then return it to the sect, and maybe get some rewards. The other is to treat it as a red earthworm.

It’s a wild red earthworm. Then I took it back and secretly raised it myself.

Faced with these two options, Fan Ming struggled to choose the latter after struggling for three seconds.

The reason is very simple. If he chooses the former, Fan Ming doesn't know how to explain where he is? Where did he catch it? And based on his understanding of the sect, even if he explains it clearly with a perfect panic,

At most, I could just reward him with some spiritual stones or worthless elixirs and send him away.

Fan Ming can even guess what the rhetoric will be. It is probably "it is the obligation of every disciple to recover the sect's property" and so on.

Fan Ming would not hand it in stupidly!

Besides, he really didn’t know whether this was the red spirit earthworm that escaped from the elixir garden.

So Fan Ming put the red earthworm into the spirit beast bag with great peace of mind.

After a while, Fan Ming took all the spiritual soil in the canyon into his bag, and then took back the formation disk left here to protect the spiritual field.

The things that need to be protected are no longer here, so there is no need to stay here.

After dealing with all this, Fan Ming jumped on the flying magic weapon and was about to leave this canyon.

But just as he was leaving, Fan Ming looked back at the canyon behind him and thought in his mind: "I probably won't come here again in the future. Should I just destroy this canyon..."

After all, this canyon is a natural place for gathering spirits. Fan Ming is afraid that someone will find out that there was spiritual soil here, but he just doesn't know who took it away. If it is found on his head, it will be troublesome.

.

Although I know that the probability of this kind of thing happening is very low, I still say that I am not afraid of 10,000, I am afraid of just in case.

So Fan Ming put it back into the canyon, and then walked around the canyon. Although he just thought of destroying the canyon, in fact he only needed to destroy a few key places.

Soon, Fan Ming discovered that the concentration of spiritual energy in the canyon was rapidly declining, and soon it dropped to the same level as the concentration of spiritual energy outside.

In this way, no one will notice this place.

Because the aura concentration of this canyon is no different from that of an ordinary canyon.

After doing this, Fan Ming finally left this place with peace of mind...

◇◇◇◇◇◇

Soon after, Fan Minggang returned to the cave and evenly spread the spiritual soil in the storage bag into the room reserved for planting spiritual plants.

Then he thought about it and opened the spirit beast bag.

In an instant, a red light flashed, and the red earthworm quickly emerged from the ground, and then immediately pounced towards the soil below.

His intention was very obvious, he wanted to escape and run away, but Fan Ming had already anticipated all this.

Fan Ming stretched out his hand and a white thread flew out along Fan Ming's finger.

This white filament seemed to be alive, and it immediately entangled the red spirit earthworm so tightly that it could no longer use Earth Escape.

After realizing that his escape plan had failed, the Red Lingworm turned his head back, then raised half of his body, assuming a posture similar to that of a cobra before it attacked. Although it had no eyes, Fan Ming could feel that it was glaring at him.

.

Haha, it seems that he is still not convinced... Fan Ming smiled and then squatted down on the spot.

Although the red spirit earthworm has no eyes, it has other means of perception. The moment Fan Ming squatted down, it took a step back.

Oh, it turns out you are still afraid of me... Seeing the reaction of the red spirit earthworm, Fan Ming smiled interestingly, and then said:

"Hello...don't be nervous first, I don't mean any harm..."

After saying that, Fan Ming showed a kind smile (in his opinion).

Fan Ming said this not because he was bored and talking to himself, but because he was actually having a conversation with this red earthworm.

There are many types of first-level monsters, and they are also very complex. Some are stupid and cannot communicate with them, while others have opened up a little intelligence and can simply communicate with people. As far as Fan Ming knows, this red

Spirit earthworms are monsters that have a little bit of intelligence.

This may be due to its relatively long lifespan...

But in short, it is enough to be able to communicate simply.

Sure enough, after Fan Ming finished speaking, Hongling Earthworm's tense posture just now softened a little.

But it twisted its body slightly in displeasure, and Fan Ming guessed that it probably meant: "If you have no ill intentions, why are you tying me up with this thing?"

After Fan Ming repeated the sentence, he asked: "Is this what you mean?"

Hearing this, the red spirit earthworm nodded very spiritually.

Seeing this, Fan Ming smiled and said:
To be continued...
