"Senior brother is really amazing. I have been here for so long, and this is the first time I have seen someone as powerful as senior brother!"
"Yes! There are so many immortal energy insects, but no one can get close to you."
"If senior brother hadn't come here to turn the tide this time, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to sustain it."
Everyone gathered around to express their gratitude to Lin Xi.
"You senior fellow apprentices are serious, I'm just trying my best."
Lin Xi said with a humble expression.
Lin Xi actually has a lot of respect for these "insect-catching disciples". The work of catching insects is dangerous and tedious. It has to be done every day, and the rewards are not much. As for the rewards compared to the sect missions, they are far behind.
.
It is precisely because of these "insect-catching disciples" who sacrifice their own interests that other disciples can safely enjoy the "elixirs" sent by the Alchemy Cauldron Palace and go down the mountain to practice in peace.
"ah!"
Suddenly, there was an exclamation in the crowd, and a young disciple looked at Lin Xi in surprise, with a face full of astonishment:
"Lin Xi? There is also Lin Xi in the Law Enforcement Hall. Are you him?"
As soon as this person spoke, several other "insect-catching disciples" also reacted and looked at him in surprise. Apparently they knew something.
Lin Xi knew clearly in his heart that many of these "insect-catching disciples" came from outside, and only a few of them belonged to the Aland Cauldron Hall itself. Apparently someone recognized him.
"If there is no Lin Xi in Shenxiao Mountain, then I think the person you are talking about is me."
Lin Xi met everyone's gaze and smiled calmly.
This rebuttal is tantamount to confirming several people's guesses.
"ah!!"
There was a burst of exclamation, and Lin Xi's eyes were full of shock. If he didn't understand something, he leaned over and asked a few words in a low voice. After hearing about it, Lin Xi's eyes were also full of shock.
The shadow of a person and the wind of a tree. After knowing Lin Xi's "origin", Lin Xi became a completely different person in the eyes of everyone.
"It turns out it's Senior Brother Lin."
Wang Tianxin, who had previously called Lin Xi "junior brother" when he saw Lin Xi was young, now quickly changed his name to Lin Xi "senior brother" with a stern and unnatural expression.
This is the sense of oppression brought by Lin Xi's reputation in the sect. It doesn't matter if you don't know. Once you know, you immediately feel the difference and the powerful power.
"Brothers, you don't have to be polite. I'm younger than you all, so it's right to call me junior brother. Xianluo Sacred Tree has been short of manpower recently. I also received the instructions from Elder Dan Ding and took over the task of 'Holy Son Sect Leader' in advance.
Get rid of fairy bugs here."
Lin Xidao. Once the seniority is divided, there will be some unfamiliarity. This is not what Lin Xi wants.
He didn't want to put on airs in front of these "insect-catching disciples".
Hearing Lin Xi mention the immortal energy insect plague, everyone immediately felt nervous. Invisibly, they paid less attention to Lin Xi's identity, and the unfamiliarity and gap between them was weakened a lot.
"Junior brother Lin, you just came here and you don't know. The fairy air insects cannot be completely eliminated, they can only be controlled within a certain range. What we have always done is to control, not to kill them all. As long as the insect infestation is not allowed to cause damage,
That’s it.”
A young disciple said.
"Well. Immortal air bugs are born every day. After killing one wave, there will be another wave. So each sect focuses on control. As long as it does not affect the elixir production of the Xianluo Holy Tree. In fact,
Each sect has a rated value for the number of immortal energy insects. Any higher number will require huge manpower and material resources, which is not worth it."
Another insect-catching disciple echoed.
They have been here for a long time and are very familiar with various things.
Lin Xi frowned and said:
"Brothers, what is the numerical value of our Shenxiao Sect?"
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
"Junior brother Lin, there is actually no particularly accurate statement about this. But there is a reference point, which is the number of green fairy bugs, gray fairy bugs, golden fairy bugs and red fairy bugs that appear among the fairy bugs.
, cannot exceed a certain amount.”
Wang Hexin said:
"Like our place, according to past standards, only white fairy bugs can appear, a small amount of green fairy bugs, and absolutely no gray-backed fairy bugs can appear.
But as you saw what happened just now, the situation is very serious..."
Everyone also nodded, with solemn expressions.
They have been defending here for a long time, but they have never experienced such a situation. They were almost defeated by the fairy air insects and had to retreat. This has never happened before.
Lin Xi thought thoughtfully. He had killed several gray fairy bugs. It could be seen that they were all of a very high level. Their speed, toughness, strength, and size were all higher than other fairy bugs.
"Junior brother Lin, we don't have enough manpower here right now. Can you think of some way to bring in some manpower? Now, most of the disciples are training outside, and the brothers who stay in the sect have their own things to do and are reluctant.
Come here. Junior brother, can you think of something?"
The elders and disciples who were familiar with Lin Xi's background said.
Lin Xi's reputation among the inner disciples was unparalleled, and her appeal was definitely second to none. Everyone couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope.
"Yes, yes, senior brother, can you think of something?"
"Really, please."
Others also said, their eyes full of expectations. So regardless of whether it can be done or not, let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. If you catch Lin Xi's "driftwood", you must give it a try no matter what.
"I'll try my best."
Lin Xi smiled and nodded, agreeing very readily.
In fact, Lin Xi had this idea long before everyone requested it. Now he is just responding to everyone's request. However, Lin Xi did not dare to guarantee it. He could only say that he was trying his best. But even so,
It made everyone ecstatic.
"Thank you, junior brother!"
"Junior brother, thank you very much!"
Everyone was overjoyed, their eyes suddenly brightened, and they cupped their fists and thanked him.
With Lin Xi's promise, everyone felt a lot more relaxed and their relationship with each other became much closer.
Lin Xi smiled, he had his own plan. The tide of immortal energy insects must be contained, whether it is for these insect-catching disciples or for himself, and this is also in the interests of the sect.
Soon, Lin Xi blended in with these "insect-catching disciples" and became one with them. During the communication with them, Lin Xi also learned something about the immortal energy insects.
The levels of fairy air bugs from low to high are white, cyan, gray, gold and red. The highest among them is red, which is equivalent to a virtual immortal. But even a virtual immortal will not be able to fight against this red fairy air bug when fighting.
You have to face danger, life or death.
Only Dao Fruit level experts can deal with the highest level "Red Immortal Qi Insects". But when the number of "Red Immortal Qi Insects" reaches a certain level, even Dao Fruit level experts cannot resist.
This is what Zongli recently talked about about the "red worm tide" that occurs once in hundreds of years. At that time, thousands of red fairy air worms will swarm toward the top of the tree trunk, and even the Holy King will not be able to stop it.
After hearing this, Lin Xi felt heavy in his heart. Not to mention one or two, but dozens or a hundred red fairy worms, he was not afraid at all. But if there were thousands of red fairy worms, even
Lin Xi was not sure she could stop him.
"This matter is really difficult to handle."
Lin Xi frowned and was deeply worried. When the quantity of anything reaches an extreme, it will produce a qualitative change, and this is the case with the Immortal Qi Insect.
He has only come across white, cyan and gray-backed fairy bugs so far. He has never encountered any golden fairy bugs, let alone a red fairy bug.
Lin Xi felt confident that he could deal with the first three levels of fairy bugs alone. But when these fairy bugs rose to another level and turned into gold or red, Lin Xi was no longer so sure.
Every time the strength of the fairy energy bug increases by one level, the color will change, and the strength, speed, toughness, and resistance to fairy energy, vitality, and true energy will all increase by one level. The cyan and gray fairy energy bugs are no longer easy to deal with.
, let alone gold and the highest-grade red, and there are thousands of them.
"Is it really necessary to extend the time of the Holy Son's clan service?"
Lin Xi's brows twisted into a "chuan" shape, which he was deeply unwilling to accept. But the red worm tide that occurs once in hundreds of years is no joke.
"That bastard Li Zhongdao, could it be that he took a fancy to this and specifically transferred me to the Alchemy Hall?"
Lin Xi was filled with anger.
He still underestimated Li Zhongdao a little. The tedious task of "catching insects and regulating Qi" could not trouble him, but the "red insect tide" was a huge obstacle, lying in front of him like a mountain.
Li Zhongdao actually took advantage of this insect tide.
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. Solve this wave of problems first. As for the red worm tide, we will talk about it later..."
Lin Xi calmed down, took out a few "Dharma Talismans", and with a thought in mind, she began to "write letters" to ask for help from the brothers in the Law Enforcement Hall.
"That's it."
Lin Xi handed the talisman to an elder disciple of Danding Hall:
"This is the talisman I wrote to my brothers in the Law Enforcement Hall. However, there is a space restriction and isolation here, so the talisman cannot be sent out. Please ask me, senior brother, to ask someone to take the talisman outside the Alchemy Hall and then release it."
"No problem. There are pill-delivery disciples below. Leave it to them. When delivering the pill, just use the teleportation method."
The elder disciples of the Alchemy Hall looked even more excited than Lin Xi. After receiving Lin Xi's "talisman", his body swayed and flew directly towards the base of the tree. After a few shakes, he immediately disappeared.
Bang bang!!
The sound of bursts of exploding immortal energy insects came from the immortal energy clouds, and everyone began to disperse to various parts of the Xianluo tree trunk, killing the "immortal energy insects" flying sporadically from the top.
Compared with the killing in the middle of the night, a battlefield of this level is just a way to pass the time and not threatening at all. But even though the insect tide has passed, the fairy air insects still have to be killed.
For the immortal disciples staying here, the number of immortal energy insects is increasing every moment. If they are not removed in time, there will only be more and more in the future.
Killing one more means less pressure in the future.
