Chapter 5 Raising Insects

  Evil Insect God

  Sitting in his own room, Huo Hai had a gloomy face. Just now he was called over by Huo Kai and scolded severely, the reason being that he wanted to make trouble for his mentor. Although it wasn't successful, after all, he still did something wrong.

  This was not because the instructor told him, but probably because of that snake's reason. The instructor did not tell Huo Kai. Huo Kai knew it because other children went home and told their friends and parents about it. Gradually, more people knew, and it spread. These little kids are not good at keeping secrets.

  In the Spiritual Realm, the strong are revered, but there are also rules to follow. For those who can teach and guide them, everyone is extremely respectful. Even if it's just a mentor who teaches common sense and literacy, it's still the same.

  Respecting teachers and valuing the way, this sentence is not just for show. Huo Hai being so disrespectful to his mentor will naturally be called over for a scolding. Even if he's lost his memory, he still needs to know what can and cannot be done.

  Of course, there is also good news, that is, Huo Hai's writing has been completely remembered, common sense things, can be understood by reading books themselves. So from tomorrow on, Huo Hai will no longer have to go to school and study with the children. Of course, it is also possible that Huo Kai found out that Huo Hai studying with the children is not good, and used this as an excuse to let him calm down at home for a while.

  "Alas, what's the point of doing anything, it's all so troublesome." Huo Hai had just finished cultivating his spiritual technique and now felt idle again.

  The cultivation of the spiritual formula requires persistence, but it cannot be cultivated at all times. Different formulas have different cultivation periods. The ancestral formula of the Huo family is best cultivated in the morning, noon, and midnight.

  At other times, it is possible to cultivate, but the effect is not good, and it's better to do something else. Before reaching the spiritual realm, one cannot cultivate the powerful war spirit technique. At this time, only some superficial combat skills and spiritual power usage methods can be cultivated.

  Now, Huo Hai only has a spiritual realm, and his spiritual power is only filled in his own body. A little bit of fist and foot can still play a role. But for some reason, Huo Kai said that he wants to let Huo Hai lay the foundation first, and now he can't focus on practicing too many fist and foot skills, he can only understand it briefly. Now it's finally over, if Huo Hai doesn't practice spiritual skills, he will be bored.

  If I were on Earth, well, such leisure time is rare. "If there was such a time on Earth, what should I do? Accompany my girlfriend, play computer, these seem to be unnecessary."

  Looking back on everything about the earth, it seemed like only a few days had passed, but Huo Hai felt as if he had just had a dream. Everything about the earth seemed to have moved away from him. It was just that he didn't know how his parents were doing now, and whether they would be very sad when he died.

  There was also Grandma, thinking of Grandma's teachings to him when he was young. "Wait, how did I forget this?" Huo Hai's eyes shone brightly. He wasn't without a way out, couldn't he still raise insects?

  Grandma herself said that she was a master of raising silkworms. Because science is now prevalent, and there is no spiritual energy between heaven and earth, not even her own mother learned it, and nobody believed in it. Under helplessness, grandma passed on the technique to me so as not to let it disappear, but always strictly forbade me from actually raising silkworms.

  Gu insects are a very filthy thing, with a heavy yin evil energy. Historically, only women could learn about them. If men learned about them, they would have a short life span. This is one of the reasons why in Miao territory, those who cultivate Gu insects have always been women.

  Of course, this is an outside rumor. Hoi Hai, who has actually studied this thing, knows more than others. The so-called evil spirit is not a legend, but a kind of aura that the Gu insect itself carries. Because there is no spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and there are no powerful insects in the wild, it will only evolve into the present-day Gu after countless years.

  Without spiritual energy to nourish it, then use human energy, using one's own blood combined with medicinal materials for nourishment. Prolonged cultivation of Gu will inevitably lead to loss of one's vital energy. Moreover, Gu insects are all poisonous, and the toxicity is bound to enter the body.

  These poisonous gases will not be fatal to the people who raise Gu, but they contain very heavy Yin evil energy. Women are fine, but if men really go to raise Gu and get infected with these things, they will continuously consume their own lifespan.

  At that time, Grandma was worried about this point, so she wouldn't let Huo Hai try it. As time passed, he gradually received various scientific education and didn't believe in the Gu worm theory himself. Usually, he just recalled it, treating the book on raising Gu worms as a way to pass the time, nothing more.

  But it's different now. "Hmph, even time travel is possible, can't there be a way to get rid of the Gu parasite?" The scientific materialism that Huo Hai had insisted on for over a decade suddenly collapsed in his heart. Can science explain his current situation?

  It's obvious that it can't be done, and since it can't be done, why still believe in science. Even time travel has been achieved, so naturally, insect cultivation will also exist. If memory serves correctly, there seems to be a profession among spirit masters called beast spirit masters. They specialize in communicating with spirit beasts and controlling them to help themselves fight. If they can control spirit beasts, then what about ordinary insects?

  "Heh heh, there's no spiritual energy between heaven and earth? But I'm cultivating spiritual energy right now. Since I have spiritual energy, if I don't test it out, wouldn't that be a waste of Grandma's efforts? Grandma, rest assured, I will definitely live well in this world, and I'll also raise insects, making them flourish and prosper. Absolutely won't let the insect-raising art disappear."

  Huo Hai let out a loud roar, then closed his eyes and began to recall some things about raising Gu. To raise Gu, one must first have insects; the higher the quality of the insect, the better. Raising Gu is not necessarily about making the insects devour each other.

  In fact, the real masters of insect breeding all believe in the strength of the insects themselves. If it weren't for the lack of strong insects on Earth, they wouldn't have to make poisonous insects devour each other and create a mutated freak. These things may seem very powerful after mutation, but in reality, their potential is limited because they are mutated. It's hard for them to truly become strong insects.

  My current cultivation is still very weak, and I don't have many conditions, it seems that I can only use the original way of raising Gu. However, after having spiritual energy to feed them, I won't need to use a lot of blood to feed the worms anymore.

  I've studied on this earth for so many years, but when I came to this world, nothing could help me. The only thing that can help me now is the insect-raising technique my grandmother taught me. Whether it's for self-protection or to become a real villain in the future, having both strength and means is indispensable. In that case, let's give it a try.

  "The most basic way to raise Gu, as long as there are insects, no medicine or other things are needed. Anyway, it's the first time raising Gu, might as well try it out first." Thinking about it, doing it for the first time, Huo Hai didn't plan on refining anything earth-shattering either.

  To raise silkworms, you first need tools. The simplest tool is at least a bamboo basket for raising the worms, and a small pot or box-like thing. Don't worry about the bamboo basket, Huo Hai still learned how to make it.

  Looking around, Hohai found some nice grass at the door. The grass was very resilient and had a good elasticity, which could replace bamboo strips. Having learned many handicrafts from his grandmother before, Hohai worked with his hands skillfully. Soon, a small bamboo basket appeared in Hohai's hands. The mouth of the bottle was stretched out, and a plug was made to seal it.

  "Hehe, I didn't think my hands were so agile." Huo Hai muttered to himself. After cultivating the spiritual formula, not only did his body become much stronger, but his control over his own strength also became more agile. If it were before, he would absolutely not be able to do this.

  It's better to do a few more in one breath, and save time later. Huo Hai quickly wove them together, with one bamboo basket after another appearing in his hands. No, they should be called grass baskets. After a short while, there were already several placed beside him.

  This thing is not just for raising crickets, I remember on Earth, more people use this kind of cage to raise grasshoppers.

  "Wow, Brother Hai, what are you doing? It's so beautiful! Can you give me one?" Just as Hao Hai was carefully weaving the basket, a clear voice suddenly rang out beside his ear, startling him awake.

  Looking back, it was a delicate and lovely little girl who looked very familiar. Huo Hai furrowed his brow, thinking carefully, but the memory fragments he had obtained were too few. After a long time, Huo Hai suddenly realized: "It's actually Huo Yun'er's younger sister! Sorry, I lost part of my memory, so I didn't recognize you just now."

  This Huo Yun'er is the daughter of Huo Hai's second uncle, and also his only daughter. Otherwise, how could it be said that Huo Hai is the family's sole heir? In such a family, they would hardly fight each other for power or profit, there was simply no need to do so.

  Huo Yun'er jumped in front of Huo Hai, her face somewhat unhappy: "Hmph, Brother Hai actually forgot about me too, it's really... If you can't remember, I'll have to get Uncle to scold you severely." Huo Hai rubbed his nose, with an innocent expression. To say that at home, Huo Yun'er was more favored than Huo Hai, if he offended this little girl, he would definitely be the one to suffer.

  Fortunately, Huo Yun'er had already shifted her attention to the grass basket. "Brother Hai, what is this thing? It's really beautiful. But how do you use it?" Picking up a grass basket, Huo Yun'er looked at it back and forth.

  This thing looks like a bottle, but if used to hold water, it will definitely leak. If you put other things in it, this thing is too small and has no use at all. Looking at this four-sided wind-through grass cage, Huo Yun'er really can't understand it. Maybe in her eyes, there's only good-looking or not good-looking, how to use it comes second.

  "Hey brother Hai, why don't you use a better-looking straw hat? If not, try using flowers." Huo Yun'er said with an innocent face.
