"This kind of bug with golden spots is a diamond bug. Its body is so hard that even if the spirit treasure strikes it, it cannot be damaged at all."

"The other type of five-color glow is shrouded in evil silkworms. They are good at swallowing evil spirits and have the strongest vitality. They can almost be said to be immortal. Even if they are cut into pieces, they can be restored to their original state in an instant."

"As for that bloody mantis-like spirit insect, it is the famous 'Ghost Mantis'."

"Although they don't look very breathy, they are group spiritual insects."

"And it is the most brutal among these spiritual insects. It can swallow an entire dragon at one time. Once its ferocity becomes fierce, even I will have a headache..."

The old man pointed at the spirit insects in front of him with his finger and introduced them one by one like a treasure trove.

As expected, these spiritual insects are all rare species that are rarely seen in the spiritual world, and some of them are even the first time for Lin Mo to hear about them.

What's even more rare is that these spiritual insects have obviously been cultivated and matured.

Once they recognize their master again, they can immediately be driven to deal with the enemy, which is a huge help out of thin air.

"How about it, how many types of these spiritual insects have you seen before?"

"Boy Lin, I will make an exception and allow you to exchange a bottle of spiritual milk for one of the spiritual insects. You should be satisfied with this price."

"If you still don't agree and don't give me a satisfactory reason, don't blame me for being rude."

When Lin Mo was dazzled, the old man Xu Ling slowly said to him.

After hearing this, Lin Mo's muscles on his face jumped wildly, and he couldn't help but glance at Qing Yuanzi.

"Little friend Lin, let Brother Xu Ling take a look at your spirit insect. He should understand after he sees it."

After Qing Yuanzi pondered for a while, he said to Lin Mo solemnly.

"Yes, senior!"

Even though Lin Mo was reluctant, under the current situation.

Unable to refuse this request, he immediately shook his sleeves, a buzzing sound came from it, and then a dozen golden flowers the size of thumbs flew out from it.

The moment these golden flowers flew out, a flash of inspiration occurred.

The body size instantly increased several times, turning into a golden beetle the size of a fist. Under the brilliant golden light, it seemed to be made of pure gold.

"The gold-eating bug! It's still a mature form!"

Jin Yanhou couldn't help shouting, his eyes fixed on the dozens of golden beetles, his face full of shock.

The old man Xu Ling was also shaken. Looking at these dozen gold-eating insects, the expression on his face suddenly became extremely weird.

Qing Yuanzi frowned slightly when he saw the old man's expression. The other party's reaction seemed to be a little different from what he expected!

Although he secretly felt a little strange in his heart, Qing Yuanzi still said calmly:

"With Brother Xu Ling's knowledge, it is impossible not to recognize the gold-eating insect. I think fellow Taoists have to admit that the reputation of this insect is higher than that of these spiritual insects."

"So Xiaoyou Lin really doesn't have any need to exchange spiritual insects. It's not that he wants to offend you."

"Of course, if Brother Xu Ling can come up with a spiritual insect that is better than the gold-eating insect, Jiang will never say any more nonsense."

"A better spiritual insect! A mature gold-eating insect, good, very good, haha..."

To everyone's surprise, after the old man Xu Ling looked at the gold-eating insects, he said a few words "good" one after another, and then he actually raised his head and laughed wildly.

The laughter was filled with ecstasy.

Lin Mo couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this scene.

Qing Yuanzi stared at the old man, seeming to recall something, and frowned slightly.

Jin Yanhou's eyes flashed and he looked at Lin Mo with a somewhat complicated expression.

"Brother Xu Ling, you..."

"Brother Jiang, there's no need to say anything. I want you and Boy Lin to meet another kind of spiritual insect that I never show anyone."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man suddenly waved his sleeves, and the hundreds of spiritual insects were immediately swept up by the black energy on his body, and disappeared into his body one after another, disappearing without a trace.

Then he opened his mouth and spit out a bright silver gourd. The gourd spun around, then suddenly turned upside down and opened the lid.

There was also a buzzing sound, and a cloud spurted out from it, and dispersed under the flash of spiritual light, turning into dots of golden light, suspended in the sky above the hall.

"impossible"

"This is?"

As soon as Jin Yanhou and Qing Yuanzi saw Jin Yun's true face, they shouted almost at the same time.

Lin Mo looked at the dots of golden light in the sky and couldn't help but be completely stunned.

Wrapped in those golden lights, there were also golden beetles. They looked exactly like Lin Mo's gold-eating beetles. They were equally ferocious and buzzing.

"Senior actually also has gold-eating insects, and they are also mature."

After a while, Lin Mo suppressed the fear in his heart, took a long breath, and murmured to himself.

"Yes, even I have forgotten how many years ago these gold-eating bugs were cultivated. It was not until hundreds of years ago that they were finally able to advance to mature form. You can imagine how much effort it took."

"The reason why I came here to ask for so much Styx Spiritual Milk this time was because I wanted to use it on this insect."

The old man said calmly.

"The Styx Spiritual Milk is also useful against gold-eating insects?" Lin Mo's heart moved and he asked subconsciously.

"Its effect can be described as useful or useless, the specific situation depends entirely on the intention of the insect owner!"

Xu Ling changed from a cold-faced person to a cheerful one, and responded with a smile.

"What's in your mind?" Lin Mo's eyes lit up, showing a trace of doubt.

"Indeed, if fellow Taoist disciples only wish to cultivate mature spiritual insects, then the Styx Spiritual Milk will indeed no longer have any effect on such spiritual insects."

"However, if you want to improve your realm, this medicine is essential."

The old man explained sharply.

"Improvement of realm?"

Lin Mo seemed to understand, with a look of shock on his face.

"Exactly! I will explain the details to you later."

"I never expected that my fellow Taoist would actually have a mature gold-eating insect in his hands. From this point of view, the issue of the ownership of the Styx Spiritual Milk is irrelevant."

"I want to conduct a secret transaction with my fellow Taoist. However, this matter is quite confidential and can only be discussed in private."

"Fellow Taoist Jin Yan, fellow Taoist Qing Yuanzi, do you have any objection to this?"

The old man Xu Ling first exchanged a few words with Lin Mo in a friendly manner, and then when he turned to Qing Yuanzi and the other two, his tone became as calm as water.

Although his expression seemed calm, his words revealed an unquestionable meaning.

"As long as fellow Taoists are not forcing the sale, I will naturally have no objection."

Qing Yuanzi caught a glimpse of the cold light in the old man's eyes, couldn't help but trembled in his heart, and answered respectfully.

"I will not object either! Brother Xu Ling, please do as you please."

Jin Yanhou agreed with a smile.

"That's very good. Then I'll take my leave first!"

The old man Xu Ling was obviously satisfied with the answers of the two men, so he nodded slightly, then spit out a ball of black light from his mouth, and an exquisite attic half a foot high appeared.

This attic is entirely jet black, with runes of various colors carved on its surface, which are complex and dense, and is surrounded by a layer of light black mist.

It seems extremely mysterious!

"Fellow Daoist Lin, please bring your gold-eating insect and follow me to Black Wind Pavilion for a gathering."

The old man formed a seal with his hands to make the attic become about ten feet in size, then turned to Lin Mo and said.

After that, regardless of Lin Mo's consent, he waved his sleeves and put his gold-eating bug into it. He quickly shrunk to a height of only an inch, turned into a black shadow, and disappeared into the attic.

"Two seniors, the junior also needs to leave temporarily."

Although Lin Mo was frightened, he knew that he could not escape, so he had to smile awkwardly at Qing Yuanzi and said.

"Well, Fellow Daoist Lin, you can go there with peace of mind."

"Since Brother Xu Ling has made a promise before, he will naturally not do anything that is degrading to his dignity. However, if the conditions are not too harsh, it would be more appropriate for fellow Taoist to agree."

Qing Yuanzi frowned slightly and gave a few reminders.

"Thank you, Senior Jiang, for your guidance. I understand what to do."

Lin Mo responded in a low voice, took the dozen or so golden beetles in front of him into his bag, turned them into a bunch of green threads and shot them into the door.

The moment Lin Mo also stepped into the attic, the entire attic suddenly surged with black energy, cutting off all connections with the outside world.

"Brother Jiang, are you really not worried? Although this old man has a weird temperament, his magical powers cannot be ignored."

"If he does harm to Fellow Daoist Lin in the attic, I'm afraid we won't have time to stop him."

Jin Yanhou opened his lips slightly and whispered a message to Qing Yuanzi.

"Fellow Daoist Jin Yan's concerns are understandable. The old monster's behavior is indeed quite tyrannical, but since we made friends with him, he has never done anything treacherous."
