Chapter 17 I have rendered meritorious service to the sect, and I have raised mosquitoes for the sec
As Meng De's understanding of the cultivation world deepened, he became less interested in completely monopolizing the Origin Blood Mosquitoes.
On the one hand, the Blood Mosquitoes are not spiritual insects, lack intelligence, and are difficult to control. Mengde also did not know how to prevent others from obtaining Blood Mosquitoes.
On the other hand, Mengde still had some self-awareness; his personal strength did not allow him to possess the "strange insect" Source Blood Mosquito on his own.
Moreover, because Mengde seems to have an innate affinity for creatures with source blood, he is not worried that someone might use source blood mosquitoes to evolve into a completely new subspecies and then attack him.
Meng De is now like someone holding the "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual." If he were to reveal the "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual," the cultivation world would fall into a state of suspicion, thus ignoring Meng De, the person involved.
"Are you really going to hand over such a strange insect to the sect?" Qing Li looked at Meng De with her pale red eyes, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"The accidental breeding of such a wondrous insect was not solely Mengde's achievement..." Mengde began to fabricate reasons for himself:
"Qingling Peak is an insect mountain. Even ordinary insects that can survive here may have some unknown secrets in their bloodline. Mengde only bred the Blood Mosquito by chance. He is already satisfied with being able to repay the kindness of Senior Sister and Senior Sister Yunxi. He dares not ask for anything else."
"The success of the Blood Mosquito was not due to Mengde's efforts alone, but to the joint efforts of the seniors of the entire Qingling Peak and even the entire Spirit Beast Mountain... Therefore, everyone is qualified to raise Blood Mosquitoes."
Mengde attributed the birth of the blood mosquito to the unintentional efforts of his predecessors at Qingling Peak, which ultimately led to Mengde's unexpected success in breeding it.
On one hand, Meng De was expressing his attitude and stance to Senior Sister Qing Li; on the other hand, he was also trying to curry favor with Senior Sister Qing Li.
Based on Meng De's intuition, Qing Li held a rather special position on Qingling Peak, and even in the entire Spirit Beast Mountain. If he could establish a good relationship with Qing Li beforehand, Meng De's path to cultivation would undoubtedly be much smoother.
Furthermore... Mengde's act of handing over the source blood mosquitoes was a double benefit, killing many birds with one stone.
"...I've never seen you so eloquent before..." Yunxi, standing not far from Mengde, stared in disbelief as Mengde launched into a spiel of politically astute remarks, and finally couldn't help but retort.
Meng De simply smiled shyly at this, not bothering to lower himself to the level of Yunxi, a naive and inexperienced office worker and minor Qi cultivator.
Qingli, standing beneath the Golden Glow Spirit Tree, slightly raised her hand to stop Yunxi from speaking. Then, her red eyes looked at Mengde, her gaze flickering slightly: "Whether the Blood Mosquito possesses the effects you described, I will verify for myself."
"If it is truly as you say, and they can continue to grow and develop different talents, then rewards will naturally follow."
"But now, you need to tell me, who else knows about the Blood Mosquito?" Qing Li had already begun to consider what benefits the Blood Mosquito could bring to her, to Qingling Peak, and even to the Spirit Beast Mountain.
Mengde has been sending her Source Blood Flying Mosquitoes for almost half a year now, so she actually knows a little about them.
Well... the ferocity of the Blood Mosquito is extremely rare among the strange insects she has ever heard of.
Its mouthparts, comparable to refined iron, could even cause some casualties to the spirit insect larvae she was currently secretly cultivating...
"And..." Meng De's reflection appeared in the red eyes behind the veil. Qing Li looked at the ugly, fat blood mosquito and couldn't help but think of something.
The young man in front of me was clearly hiding something.
For example, the blood mosquitoes that Mengde handed over were clearly not the same kind as the "insect food" he had previously provided.
However... Qing Li silently glanced at Meng De. She didn't object to Meng De hiding his abilities a little, because cultivators would hide some secrets as a means of self-preservation.
At least in Qingli's view, Mengde has hidden the evolved species of the blood mosquito, or is keeping it as his trump card.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Given the ferocity of the Blood Source Mosquitoes, if there are enough of them, few Qi Refining Realm cultivators could withstand them.
How many Source Blood Mosquitoes could Mengde actually possess?
Qingli only estimated the frequency of insect food provided by Mengde and roughly calculated how large a swarm of source blood flying mosquitoes Mengde could produce in a short period of time.
That must be a terrifying number that would shock even many late-stage Qi Refining cultivators!
"Reporting to Senior Sister, currently only the three of us know about this," Meng De replied respectfully.
Meng De was well aware that the insect food he had given Qing Li was not the same species as the blood mosquitoes he was currently feeding. In fact, it could be said that this was intentional on his part.
Although Meng De wanted to cling to Senior Sister Qing Li's coattails, he couldn't appear too 'selfless.' He needed to have some secrets of his own, preferably secrets that others could know about, so that he could be considered a normal cultivator. Only in this way could he appear more natural.
"Very well." Qingli nodded slightly, then with a thought, her divine sense condensed into invisible tentacles, and took the primary spirit beast bag containing a large number of blood mosquitoes from Mengde's hand.
"Remember, don't let outsiders know about the special nature of the Blood Mosquito for now. The sect will not mistreat you." After Qingli finished speaking, she waved her small hand, and a clean white jade bottle flew to Mengde's front.
"This is the Yellow Dragon Pill, which can increase one's power and transform one's body. It is particularly effective for cultivators below the tenth level of Qi Refining. Go down and cultivate properly first, as your own cultivation is the most important thing."
After Qingli bestowed the elixir, she waved for Yunxi to take Mengde away.
......
At Blackwater Manor, after Mengde saw Yunxi off, he excitedly closed the door, entered his training room, and eagerly opened the Yellow Dragon Pill bestowed upon him by Senior Sister Qingli.
As soon as the small white jade medicine bottle was opened, a pungent medicinal fragrance filled the entire room!
hum!
Just as Meng De was enjoying the fragrance of the medicine, feeling refreshed and invigorated, he suddenly heard the swarm of mosquitoes outside suddenly riot. The wooden door was pierced with several large holes by the blood-source mosquitoes, and then the blood-source mosquitoes swarmed towards the white jade medicine bottle in his hand like a tide.
"Huh? I can't give this away!" Seeing that the surrounding Blood Mosquitoes seemed to want to snatch the Yellow Dragon Pill from him, Meng De's eyelids twitched slightly. He then reacted and immediately used his hands to protect the white jade medicine bottle before the swarm of insects broke through and got close to him.
The swarming Blood Mosquitoes around him immediately stopped charging, flapped their wings, and flew past Mengde, lingering around him for a long time, unwilling to leave.
"I thought you guys really dared to rob me by force..." Meng De finally breathed a sigh of relief as the blood mosquitoes around him scurried away.
If Mengde had tried to forcibly take the Blood Mosquito, he would have given it to him.
